Pirates control thunder and lightning
Chapter 34: Did I say I had to pay?
As the Tianlong episode ended, Nicholas clearly felt that the pace of the auction had become faster. In other words, this quarterly auction at the auction house was considered a failure.
"So today is one of the few items we're going to have for the finale."
After Jike finished speaking, he waved to the back. After a while, a nine-headed beauty walked out of the backstage, and this beauty was holding a long box in her hand.
This should be one of the final items today.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the items we are going to auction next were last seen at Shampoo Auction House thirty years ago."
After finishing speaking, the host excitedly opened the long box, and inside were two knives, a cold samurai sword and a rib.
"That's it, The Fifty Skills of the Good Knife."
Then the host took Fenghuaxueyue out of the box and drew their swords out of their bodies.
When I saw the sharp edge and the bloody cherry blossom pattern on the spine of the knife, combined with the feeling when the two knives were out of the body, it was like standing under a cherry blossom tree with falling bloody petals.
"A good Kuai Knife is very rare, especially a good Kuai Dao like this sister sword. Everyone knows the value of this knife. Of course, in the knife book, the price of this knife is marked at 1 to 5 million ba. More than profitable.
However, everyone should know that the value of a famous sword cannot be determined by looking at the sword book. You must know that once a swordsman with extraordinary swordsmanship can obtain a famous sword, its increase in strength is no less than that of an ordinary devil fruit for the user. After all, the sword is the second life of the swordsman!
So out of respect for the swordsman, we decided to set the auction price of this knife at 200 million beli! "
Swordsman: I’ll give you a cross
After the host finished speaking, the audience began to cheer. Of course, these people did not include some shy swordsmen in their pockets.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the auction of the Good Kuai Dao Fifty Gong Fenghua Snow Moon, which represents the second life of the swordsman, has begun!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a burst of bidding from the audience.
"Twenty-one million beli."
"Two hundred and twenty million beli."
......
"Two hundred and fifty million beli."
Although there were constant calls for prices from the audience, the price increase was not very large.
After all, most of these bidders were poor swordsmen, and the other bidders seemed to intend to buy them back for collection.
After all, this thing is relatively valuable as a collectible.
"Five billion."
Nicholas raised his hand and gathered together.
After Nicholas called out the price, the enthusiasm of the poor swordsmen on the field was as if a plate of water was poured over their heads or NTR in front of their faces.
The swordsmen looked unwilling. There was no way they really had no money, and they had confirmed in their eyes that they couldn't beat them.
The other bidders also gave up directly considering the price of 500 million. After all, this exceeded their bottom line.
At this time, the host on the stage also looked confused. It stands to reason that with such a high price and no one in the audience continues to increase the price, he should hit the hammer and be very happy. After all, the base price of 200 million was sold at 500 million. At a price of , this auction is already considered a success.
But when he heard Nicholas's offer, Jike always felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that Jike had not announced the deal for a long time, Nicholas began to lose his patience, and at the same time, his momentum was slowly released.
Feeling the substantial murderous intent, Jike on the stage shuddered subconsciously. Then seeing Nicholas's impatient eyes, he hurriedly banged the hammer and shouted:
"Five hundred million Baileys, deal done. Congratulations to Mr. Nicholas for getting this sister sword, Fenghuaxueyue!"
The second to last auction item, the Devil Fruit, also appeared at the back, and the introduction was the Animal Devil Fruit, Bug Fruit, and Maggot Form.
After hearing the introduction of the fruit, Nicholas immediately lost interest. Although after eating this devil fruit, as long as it is developed well, it will evolve into a fly form, but Nicholas really cannot accept such a heavy fruit.
As for the final auction item, it was beyond Nicholas's expectations. He originally thought that the last item to appear was definitely something extraordinary. After all, even the good sword and devil fruit were ranked ahead of it.
However, when looking at the two beautiful mermaids in the huge fish tank rising in the center of the auction, Nicholas also reflected that to some people, the value of mermaids is indeed higher than those before, especially this is a mother and daughter. , it’s even more exciting when you think about it.
However, it is obvious that it is difficult for other people to be qualified to take this kind of thing that is obviously prepared for the Tianlong people, and in the end, it was directly rejected.
As the last item was unsold, the auction also ended, and the buyers of the items were led by backstage staff to the back of the auction house, where they would complete the transaction of the goods.
After arriving at the backstage of the auction house, Nicholas found that he had been specially taken to a VIP room, where the fat host Jike was waiting for him with a smile on his face. Behind him were the wine he had taken and two knives. .
"Hello, Mr. Nicholas, my name is Jike. Please come here. Here are the two items you took. Please confirm them first. If there are no problems, we will sell these two items at 20% off the final transaction price." items for sale to you.”
Jike said with a somewhat flattering tone.
Nicholas was a little confused, 20% off? This seems a bit different from the Lehman Brothers that Bedic said. You know that when you exchanged the jewelry for Bailey, you were ripped off. What does it mean to do this now?
"Oh? 20% off? Why?"
The somewhat chubby Jike immediately had a smile on his face and said to Nicholas kindly.
"Dear Mr. Nicholas, you are notorious on the sea. You must also know that whether it is an auction house like ours or the industry of the dark giants in the underground world, there are always some privileges for the strong, so for you Of course we have to give a discount to such a big shot.”
After hearing this, Nicholas was speechless for a while. It turns out that a bad reputation can be regarded as a hidden benefit?
"Mr. Nicholas, look at it. Two knives with 500 million beli's and fine wine make a total of 101,000 beri. The total is 601,000 beri. Ten thousand beli will be wiped out directly, which is 600 million beli. According to At a 20% discount, that’s 480 million Baileys, Mr. Nicholas, how do you choose to pay?”
Jike said with a smile on his face.
The payment methods are also different in the world of pirates. Of course, the most common one is cash payment, but when doing some big business, cash payment is a bit troublesome. At this time, you must either choose gold payment, or choose a company under the World Government. Payments are made by banks, or by banks opened by underground forces.
Obviously Nicholas does not intend to use these payment methods.
Then in Jike's stiff smile, Nicholas, the wine and the famous sword all disappeared in front of his eyes, leaving only one sentence.
"Did I say I had to pay?"
business lingers in the VIP room.
