Chapter 335 The auction begins

 Ye Bai was delighted: "Where did you get the confidence to squeeze out the Crescent Hotel?"

"Third Master, our Nine Sects are no better than they used to be. This is what happened in Changsha." Qi Tiezui gave a thumbs up.

After just saying that, Qi Tiezui glanced at Chen Yulou secretly, and when he saw that he didn't care, he said: "Besides, our Jiumen and Xiling have quite a lot of connections. We will first spread the reputation of this auction to neighboring provinces, and then

You always come up with some treasures from time to time, and after doing it a few times, your reputation will naturally come out."

"And I know that there are many national treasures hidden in your house. The first requirement for holding this kind of auction is background sound, wide connections, and a lot of treasures. Our nine schools meet these requirements. Think about it..."

Ye Bai interrupted: "It's a good idea, but I'm not interested."

Qi Tiezui became anxious, holding the tea order on the table and said: "Third Master, look at it, for such a small box, it costs five hundred US dollars to stay for an hour, and you will get a plate of fruits and melon seeds, and every time the auction is successful,

There is a 10% handling fee. What is this? This is money grabbing. Didn’t you tell me last time that you wanted to provide disaster relief? Shouldn’t we use the money we earn to provide disaster relief?”

Ye Bai chewed melon seeds: "Why are you so active?"

Qi Tiezui said with a smile: "Third Master, I naturally want Jiumen to develop and grow, and if I facilitate the Jiumen auction, then you will definitely give me a lot of dividends. I'm afraid my father will not be able to do it in a few years."

It’s a good life, I have to save more funeral gifts for him.”

"Tiezui, if you are short of money, I have some properties where you can buy shares for free and give you some dividends, but don't mention the auction anymore."

Seeing Qi Tiezui's puzzled look, Ye Bai thought for a while and said: "You are a fortune teller, and you have your own way of avoiding disasters. You will understand some of the truth even if I don't explain it. Nowadays, the power of the Nine Sects is very great.

It has attracted a lot of people to covet us, especially when we go everywhere to provide disaster relief, which is not a good thing for those in power."

"Third Master, what do you mean?" Qi Tiezui pointed to the top.

Ye Bai nodded: "Some things are too much and too little. The current policy of Jiumen is to keep a low profile and hide our strength under the iceberg so that others can't figure us out. We should avoid using the same weapon as the weakest."

Qi Tiezui thought for a moment: "Third Master, I understand."

"Well, don't be impatient. When the world becomes more stable, if your kid is still alive, it won't hurt to leave the Nine Gate Auction to you."

Qi Tie's face darkened: "Third Master, we're having a nice chat, why are you cursing people?"

Ye Bai smiled and said: "I'm not scolding you, you will understand later."

While the two were talking, three gongs sounded from downstairs.

"Dear distinguished guests, I am really sorry for the poor reception at Crescent Hotel this time. Therefore, all successfully traded lots in this auction only charge an 8% handling fee, and unlimited snacks and red wine are provided..."

On the first floor of the cruise ship, the dining table and round chairs that originally occupied a large space were removed, and the vacated space was divided into rest areas and standing areas, so that the people seemed less cluttered.

Ye Bai nodded, the Crescent Hotel's remedy was quite timely, and he did not lose his mind and drove out the person who held the fake invitation.

"Third Master, I saw Mr. Li and Hejia's guys. Our box is quite big. Do you want to invite them up?" At this time, Qi Tiezui asked.

Although the other heads of the Nine Gates did not have time to come, they still sent some guys to come here to see the world.

Ye Bai thought that Chen Yulou would take pictures of deer live grass later, and the news should be kept as secret as possible, so he said: "No, you will probably not find them when you go down, so just let them stay down there."

The auction is about to begin, and several stick slaves have begun to place the auction items on the high platform, but there are commotions on the first floor from time to time.

The private rooms upstairs had been booked. Some people thought they were superior to others and naturally did not want to stay downstairs, so they had a dispute with the slaves.

But soon, these people were "invited" out.

The Crescent Hotel can invite many dignitaries to the auction every time, and the network of connections behind it is beyond words.

These people took the initiative to break the rules, so they would naturally be used by the Crescent Hotel to establish their authority.

Sure enough, after establishing authority, the order on the first floor improved a lot. Although some people were still reluctant, they did not dare to show it openly.

Ye Bai glanced at the crowd, but did not see Marshal Ma or Xiang Tian carrying a heavy sword.

A young woman walked up to the high platform on the first floor. After giving some opening remarks, she announced that the auction had officially begun.

"Lot No. 1, a golden cup Buddha statue from the ancient Xixia Kingdom, has a starting price of US$50,000, and each increase in price shall not be less than US$5,000."

"Lot No. 2 is a sacrificial jade from the ancient Dian Kingdom. It has a bright red texture and is a rare jade. The starting price is US$80,000..."

"..."

The first three items on the lot are small items provided by Ye Bai and are not of high value, so they are placed at the front.

Ye Bai estimated that it probably sold for close to 200,000 US dollars.

If the three treasures were sold through normal sales channels, they might not even be sold for 100,000 US dollars.

Only in auction houses can antique cultural relics be sold at a premium.

"The next auction item is No. 14, Smell the Fragrance Jade, which is also the most precious item among the general auction items. The starting price is US$500,000, and each increase in price shall not be less than US$10,000."

The young woman opened the glass cover, revealing a piece of pure white fragrant jade with white spots of light.

Everyone in the front row smelled a pleasant fragrance, which was refreshing.

"Is this Wen Xiangyu? This is my first time seeing it."

"Yes, this is my first time seeing it too. It smells really good, but it's a pity that the price is too expensive."

"Such a big Wen Xiangyu is really rare."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

This fragrant jade was originally won by Ye Bai from Jin Abacus in Blackwater City and has been collected to this day.

It's not that Ye Bai doesn't like the fragrance, but that Ye Bai has tried wearing it several times and always felt unwell.

Maybe this thing contains a lot of radioactive substances, so it can emit a unique fragrance.

After that, Ye Bai didn't dare to touch it again. After he got the ghost space, he put it into the space to eat ashes until now.

The young woman said: "Dear distinguished guests, the seller of the fragrant jade also said that wearing it for a long time is harmful to the human body. If someone takes a photo of it, please do not keep it around."

Even so, when the quotations started, they became higher and higher each round.

"Eight hundred thousand dollars!"

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"

Qi Tiezui knew that the scented jade belonged to Ye Bai, so he couldn't help but said, "Third Master, why did you sell such a good treasure?"

Ye Bai shook his head: "No matter how good the treasure is, what's the use if you can't appreciate it? It's worth changing it for some money."

But Chen Yulou was moved when he saw the fierce quotation scene below.

In his opinion, Ye Bai could put this kind of treasure up for auction in order to help him raise money to buy the deer live grass.

"Third brother, third brother, when my brother becomes rich in the future, I will buy this treasure and return it to you."

Soon, Wen Xiangyu's bid exceeded one million US dollars, becoming the first auction item to exceed one million US dollars.

But after one million, the number of bidders gradually became rarer.
