Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea
Chapter 72: Auction of Melo Pearls
Last night, when Chen Weiqiang said he was going to close the shop and take a day off, everyone was laughing at him for wanting to close the shop and run away.
When the anglers in the group saw the 10-pound grouper he posted in the evening, they all went crazy.
Message after message, almost all of them were asking where he fished. In order to find out where he fished, many people said they wanted to buy fishing gear from him.
Chen Weiqiang pretended to say a few Versailles words, and finally said that he went out to sea to fish.
He was cunning enough to keep it a secret and not mention Seagull Island.
But he didn't lie, they did go out to sea today.
Because of Chen Weiqiang's words about going out to sea to fish, tickets for Chen Feng's fishing boat were sold out.
It was clearly a weekday, but the boat tickets for the next two days were fully booked.
Seeing the increasing income from the fishing boat this month, Chen Feng was so happy that he immediately sent a big red envelope to his uncle to thank him.
Chen Weiqiang was very happy when he saw the red envelope of 200 yuan. It was extra income.
Then he secretly put it into his own private money.
Chen Weiqiang showed off contentedly in the two fishing groups, and then promoted to his daughter the Melo Pearls that would be auctioned tomorrow.
This thing is relatively rare, but there are still many people interested in it.
Besides, these fishermen are not short of money, so they can buy some to please their wives.
You have to coax people into going out fishing, as Chen Weiqiang, who often goes out night fishing, knows all too well.
When I got home, three bosses in the group were interested in this Melo Pearl and would come to participate in the auction tomorrow.
In addition, two regular customers wanted to buy fishing gear, so they took the opportunity to join in the fun.
Five people have been confirmed for this auction.
When they got home, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting each held a Melo pearl and looked at it. They were very interested in the pearl inside the coconut snail.
Yan Shuting looked at the irregular Melo Pearl in her hand with a look of disdain:
"This Melo Pearl is not pretty at all. Will anyone really buy it?"
"This one is irregular and not very good, I guess no one will buy it. But this round one looks okay, I saw similar ones online costing around 10,000 or 20,000 yuan each."
Chen Zhiyao was still quite confident. With five people attending the auction, there would definitely be one person who would buy something, right?
"So expensive?"
Grandma Chen held the round Melo pearl and looked at it from left to right, but couldn't see what was so good about it. How could it be worth ten or twenty thousand?
The old lady was puzzled.
Compared to the Melo pearls which are said to be very rare but not that bad looking, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still prefer the golden gold.
Recently, Chen Zhiyao has made a lot of money by fishing and going to the sea, and she was thinking of preparing a small gift for the two of them.
If the Melo Pearls were sold, the money could be used to buy a gold bracelet for each of them.
However, Chen Zhiyao didn't tell anyone about this decision. She planned to buy it and give them a big surprise.
The auction started at 2 pm. Chen Zhiyao finally didn’t have to get up early to go to the beach, so she slept until 10 am.
After breakfast, Chen Zhiyao put on beautiful makeup and put on a very pretty little dress.
new model
Thinking about the auction of Melo Pearls in the afternoon, the Chen family had lunch early and went to the fishing tackle shop.
Chen Weiqiang's fishing tackle shop is on the outskirts of the county town, right on the road leading to the beach.
The store is not big, but there is a large warehouse in the back, which contains various fishing gear and baits.
In addition to Chen's fishing tackle store, there are two other fishing tackle stores that have been opened not long ago on the left and right.
Since two new fishing tackle stores had opened recently, a lot of their business had been taken up.
As he passed by, Chen Weiqiang glared at the boss inside with an unhappy look on his face.
"Humph, you're just a follower."
Not long after they arrived at the store, two men in their early 30s came in. Both of them were regular customers of the fishing tackle store.
The tall man in a white coat is a second-generation rich man named Li. He doesn't have to go to work on weekdays. He is either fishing or on his way to fishing every day.
The other person wearing a black windbreaker is his friend, also a wealthy second-generation with plenty of money.
Both of them are experienced fishing enthusiasts. Most of the fishing rods they use cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the cheapest one costs several thousand yuan.
Seeing the two Gods of Wealth coming, Chen Weiqiang happily took out all the best things in the store.
There are several fishing rods that cost tens of thousands of yuan, as well as various ridiculously expensive fishing gear.
The two came here today to buy fishing gear. Under Chen Weiqiang's strong recommendation, the two handsome guys each bought a fishing rod worth 10,000 yuan.
When Chen Zhiyao heard that a fishing rod cost 1 yuan, she looked at the two men as if she had seen a fat sheep.
However, the two of them didn't think there was anything wrong with the 1 yuan fishing rod. They also had more expensive fishing rods.
They don't want to start a business, because the money in their family is enough for them to squander for several lifetimes.
In addition to fishing rods, the two also bought several large boxes of bait for making nests.
When paying, neither of them blinked, and their whole bodies exuded the aura of wealth.
Knowing that the two of them would also attend the auction later, Chen Zhiyao felt even happier and diligently served a cup of hot tea to the two big guys.
Then two more bosses came to attend the auction.
But just as it was about to start, the last guest sent a message saying that he had something to do and could not come.
Although Chen Zhiyao was a little disappointed, there was nothing she could do since the other party couldn't come due to something, and the auction was still held as scheduled.
The price of this Melo Pearl is not high. It adopts the clear bidding method, setting a reserve price, and then everyone bids, and the highest bidder wins.
The reserve prices for the two Melo pearls were agreed upon at home yesterday. The reserve price for the irregular one is 2000 yuan, and the reserve price for the round one is 8000 yuan.
The first pearl to be auctioned was an irregular Melo pearl of inferior quality.
The reserve price was 2000 yuan. After waiting for a long time, someone finally raised a sign, and finally bought it at the reserve price of 2000 yuan.
Although it was only the reserve price, Chen Zhiyao was very satisfied. Just this small bead was almost as much as her income from a day of fishing.
When the second round Melo bead was taken out, everyone was obviously more concerned and there was a hint of seriousness on their faces.
"The starting price for No. 2 Melo Pearl is 8000 yuan. The auction is now officially open."
As soon as Chen Weiqiang finished speaking, handsome Li, who had just bought fishing gear, immediately raised the sign in his hand:
"8500 yuan"
Then a kind-looking middle-aged man also raised his sign:
"9000 yuan"
After a while, a dark-skinned man who looked like a fisherman also spoke up:
"9500 yuan"
Seeing that handsome Li was about to raise his hand again, the brother next to him pulled his sleeve and whispered:
"This bead isn't that pretty. It's not worth 1 yuan, is it? I might as well buy a fishing rod instead."
Although this handsome guy's family is not short of money, the Cantonese people's frugality is ingrained in their bones.
"Your sister-in-law likes this thing, I bought it to please her."
Then he raised the sign in his hand again, "1 yuan."
There were always people bidding the same price in the beginning, but when the price reached 1 yuan, everyone fell silent.
“1 yuan for the first time.”
"1 for the second time."
"1 for the third time."
"make a deal."
The entire auction ended in less than 10 minutes.
However, the total sale price was 12,000 yuan. Chen Zhiyao was quite satisfied and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise wildly.
This money is just right for buying two big gold bracelets. Grandma and mom will definitely like them very much.
I can use the remaining money to buy two sets of clothes for grandpa and dad.
The rating is finally out. Although it’s only 7 points, it’s very good for a new book.
Thank you very much to all readers for your rewards, comments, ratings, bug fixes and urging for updates. I will work hard on writing. Love you guys (?v?v?).
