Two nights later, the token auction was held on time at Dinghai Building in the center of Qihai City.
The group of seven people was divided into three groups, each dressed up in disguise and put on a mask, and headed to Dinghai Tower.
Tang Mo was naturally paired with Fu Yunxiu. The two pretended to be lovers, holding their arms together affectionately, without any sense of disobedience.
There is a guard at the entrance of Dinghai Tower. You have to pay a thousand beads to enter. If you get the token, the thousand beads will be regarded as the deposit. If you don't get the token, it will be refunded when you leave.
This is also to prevent someone from disturbing the order of the auction by taking advantage of troubled waters.
The interior space of Dinghai Building is circular in design, with a display stand for auction items in the center, and a circle of seats surrounding the display stand. There are private rooms on the second floor, but the stairs going up are blocked, and only the lobby will be open tonight.
The sinister intentions of it are self-evident.
Tang Mo and Fu Yunxiu were the last to arrive, so they could only sit in the back. The other two groups had arrived long ago. Yunxi and Tao Xiu were in front on the left, and Yin Wuchang was opposite them. They could see each other as soon as they raised their eyes.
Not long after we sat down, the auction officially began.
The host of the auction is a middle-aged man with a mustache. He smiles like a profiteer and goes straight to the topic: "Good evening everyone, we only have one item for auction tonight, and it is the one that affects our Qihai Secret Realm."
What everyone is thinking about is the Kaihai Token! It is also the key to the treasure!"
The host raised his hand and pointed at the guests around him, and asked impassionedly: "Do you want to own a treasure? Do you want to become a king and a saint? The opportunity is right in front of you, can you seize it?"
Someone below responded excitedly: "I can!"
But Tang Mo curled his lips and even became a king and a saint. How can one reach heaven in one step in this world? Just dream.
"Very good!" The host waved his palm and said loudly: "This auction is divided into ten rounds. Each round auctions one token. The starting price is 10,000 beads. Each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 beads.
No cap.”
"Now! Up for auction!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a young girl in cool clothes walked onto the display stage carrying a tray covered with red cloth. She placed the tray on the pillar in the center of the stage, and then lifted up the red cloth.
Suddenly, there was an uproar, and everyone stretched their necks to look down. Some people even stood up, wanting to see the true face of the Kaihai Token.
The host quickly asked the girl to hold the token and walk around the display stage so that all the photographers could see it clearly.
After the girl put the token back on the tray, the host knocked on the side of the pillar with a wooden hammer and shouted: "The bidding begins!"
"Twenty thousand!"
Tang Mo almost vomited out a mouthful of blood. Doubling the number at the beginning, does it look like you are rich? If you have the ability, follow me to Jialan Realm, and I will kill you with Jialan coins!
"Twenty thousand one!"
"Twenty-two thousand!"
…
"Thirty-six thousand!"
The host banged the hammer: "Thirty-six thousand once! Thirty-six thousand twice! Thirty thousand..."
Fu Yunxiu raised his hand and said: "Forty thousand!"
"Okay!" the host said excitedly: "This gentleman bids 40,000, is there anyone who wants to increase the bid? 40,000 once, 40,000 twice! 40,000, three times! The deal is done! Congratulations on getting the first one tonight.
Token!"
Tang Mo and Fu Yunxiu both breathed a sigh of relief. They only had 42,000 in hand, and adding more would not be enough.
Afterwards, the two of them followed the staff at the auction house to hand over the items. Only when they got the token in hand could Tang Mo finally feel at ease and watch the show.
Yun Xi and Yin Wuchang exchanged glances from a distance. They didn't have enough beads in their hands, so they had to fight in the second round.
Not long after, the two left their seats one after another, and came back after a while. Fortunately, they were not the only ones who were unprepared. Many people went out to raise money in the midfield, so the two of them were inconspicuous.
The second round of auction has begun, and within a short period of time, the bidding price exceeded the first round transaction price, heading towards the 60,000 mark.
Tang Mo clicked his tongue and said, "This is only the second round. It's crazy."
Fu Yunxiu replied in a low voice: "If you shoot off one, you will lose one chance. The further they go, the more anxious they will be, and the more they will ignore the cost."
At this time, Tao Xiuqi bid, "Sixty-three thousand!"
"Sixty-five thousand!"
Tao Xiuqi gritted his teeth and directly quoted a high price, "Seventy thousand!"
The host knocked the wooden hammer and shouted hoarsely: "This distinguished guest bids 70,000! Isn't there any higher?" After a breath, the host began to count down: "Seventy thousand once! Seventy thousand twice! Seventy thousand...
…Three times! Congratulations to this gentleman!”
Tao Xiuqi was relieved. His voice was trembling when he just called out the price. He has never seen so much money in his life, let alone spent it. He has learned a lot tonight.
Although they had no money, no one was in a hurry to leave. During this period, Tang Mo and Yun Xi pretended to go out, pretending to raise money, but in fact they were looking for opportunities to transfer the tokens in their hands to Yin Wuchang.
After that, the three of them returned to their seats as usual and participated in the bidding.
The transaction price of the third token directly exceeded 100,000.
The fourth one is 160,000.
The fifth one is two hundred thousand.
The sixth one is 220,000.
The prices of the next three pieces are about the same, all around 250,000.
The craziest thing is that the last token was auctioned for a high price of 500,000 yuan and was taken away by a middle-aged wealthy businessman.
This night, the city lord's mansion made a lot of money. The tokens were originally sold without capital, and the net profit was two million in one night.
Tang Mo followed the flow of people and walked out, sighing: "If you really know how to do business, our family should also have an auction house."
Fu Yunxiu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "It's been around for a long time, and it's much more high-end than this. Every item is a rare treasure, and only invited people are eligible to participate in the auction, once every six months."
Tang Mo: "..."
Isn't this embarrassing? She should reflect on herself. As the sole heir of the Tang family, is she too careless about her own property?
But... Tang Mo looked at Fu Yunxiu and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"
Fu Yunxiu hummed: "Not only do I know it, I've also been there."
Tang Mo: Then you are so awesome.
As soon as she left the auction house, Tang Mo was sensitive to someone following her. She glanced at Fu Yunxiu, who nodded, and the two of them turned into a remote alley in tacit understanding.
The warriors following the two men behind them were confused. What did this mean? Are they afraid that they would not be able to take action? Then they would not be polite.
As a result, as soon as they turned into the small alley, they saw a slender woman leaning on the man's arms, revealing a pair of white arms, tightly wrapped around the back of the man's neck, while the man's strong arms were hugging the woman's waist.
.
The two looked closely at the entrance of the alley, and waved to the warriors who suddenly appeared.
The warriors were stunned, what do you mean? They found out that they were being followed? Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, the leader of the warriors simply said: "Hand over the token, and I can give you a happy one, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, lightning flashed in the alley. The warriors were stabbed so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. They subconsciously launched attacks. When the lightning disappeared, the alley was in a mess, but there was no one left.
