Wang Hao still vividly remembers the landmark buildings of these ten century auctions.
These ten boxes are also called emperor boxes, and their powerful functions are the same as the word "expensive".
I remember that at the last Century Auction held before his rebirth, in order to compete for the right to use one of the boxes, a wealthy man once shouted out a price of millions of gold coins. His domineering and shining golden light made countless people suffocate.
Wang Hao cannot afford millions of gold coins now, but the current situation is different.
If he remembered correctly, these ten boxes were not rented out at the first auction of the century. It was not until later that someone discovered the benefits of such boxes that these boxes became a tool for rich people to compare themselves with each other. The rent
Well, it's naturally going up all the way.
The current rent for these ten boxes is only 500 gold coins. Compared with the sky-high prices in later generations, 500 gold coins is really too cheap.
Originally, Wang Hao had no intention of renting an imperial box, but Master Jie's message reminded him that instead of looking for someone at the auction, it would be better to rent a box directly.
As the only ten imperial boxes in the entire auction hall, inviting players by designation is only one of its functions.
Speaking of which, the brothers haven't seen each other for a year or two. For this reason, renting this box is worth it.
Each emperor's box can accommodate twenty players, which is almost enough if you include the people on both sides.
Wang Hao made up his mind, went to the management here, and explained his requirements.
The employees who maintained order throughout the auction were all played by real people. After hearing Wang Hao's words, this sweet-looking girl had a hint of surprise in her eyes.
As the highlight of the company in recent times, the success of the Century Auction is linked to the fate of many people.
Most of the staff like these on site are temporarily hired by the government and do not enjoy the treatment of regular employees. Whether to fire or not is only at the company's discretion, especially for a Chinese-American like her.
It is the key object under investigation.
The reference standards are nothing more than background and performance, with the latter often accounting for a larger proportion.
Meimei was originally responsible for the rental of these ten imperial boxes. When she was assigned the job, she was envied by many people. As long as she rented out one room, she could do as much work as others for half a day.
However, no one thought beforehand that as the auction was about to begin, these ten imperial boxes would actually end up with no one paying attention.
Not long ago, Mei Mei's supervisor in charge reprimanded her, and she felt extremely aggrieved.
Although the boss also understands that it is not the fault of the employees below, but something went wrong, if the blame is not passed on to the employees below, how can he still be blamed?
The time for the auction to start is getting closer and closer, and there is obviously something wrong with the company's decision-making. The publicity is not enough, even good wine is afraid of the alley, let alone the first emperor's box.
You must know that the company's senior management had great expectations for this project. The lowest rent was 500 gold coins. They would rather leave it empty than cut the price for promotion.
Meimei is also a fan of this game, so she naturally understands what 500 gold coins means to the players. She had already given up hope and just wanted to pack up and leave after the auction was over. Unexpectedly, she met a savior at the last moment.
"Are you going to handle the imperial box business?"
After all, the girl's professional quality was pretty good. She didn't say the word "savior", and the surprise on her face quickly subsided. She just trembled slightly between the words.
Wang Hao had no time to pay attention to the female staff member's mood. He nodded and turned around to send a message to York and Jie Shao.
Meimei has good professional skills. She quickly completed a series of procedures.
"Which imperial box will you choose?" While the man was pondering, she secretly looked at the man in front of her, full of curiosity.
Don't get me wrong, she didn't have a crush on the yellow-skinned man in front of her, she just felt that because he was so young and could come up with such a large sum of money, he was probably the son of a certain group.
At present, anyone who is determined to show off their talents in this game would like to spend one gold coin as if it were two, spending 500 gold coins just for a more comfortable box. This is something that is difficult for the former to accept.
Therefore, Meimei naturally excluded the self-employed person in front of her.
In fact, the styles and functions of these ten imperial boxes are similar, but some people have special preferences for certain numbers, so they divide these ten boxes into numbers one to ten.
"Just number one."
In another time and space, this box was also jokingly called Tianzi Room No. 1 by the players. Those who were eligible to enter were all the bosses of the current consortium or the presidents of the top guilds. Their status was slightly different, and even if they had money, they would not be able to enter.
Not qualified to go up.
For example, the rich man who spent one million gold coins only took the tenth room. It's not that he didn't have enough financial resources to compete for the higher-ranked boxes, but at that time, the first few boxes already had fixed owners.
, if he really wants to fight for it, it will be tantamount to slapping those forces in the face in public, and such consequences are not something he can bear.
After Wang Hao clicked to confirm, he quickly received a system deduction prompt. He looked at his account. Although there were five hundred gold coins missing, it was not obvious.
Thinking of this, he chuckled.
It feels good to have money.
Next, Mei Mei led Wang Hao to a special entrance, from where he could directly board the box.
The emperor's box is an independent small space, which ensures the player's privacy and transaction security.
This is one of the reasons why Wang Hao wanted to rent this box.
"Please note that there will be a slight discomfort next. This is normal and will return to normal soon."
The girl was very conscientious and gave a kind reminder before entering the portal.
This is a reaction that can only occur when traveling through an independent space. It is just a box. It has actually created a small space by itself.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao couldn't help but be speechless. This is really a generous move.
In terms of cost alone, the official price of these ten sets of imperial boxes is five hundred gold coins, which is really not much.
After passing the entrance, Wang Hao walked into the private room. The decoration and furniture inside were all top-notch configurations. It gave people the impression that it was noble but not conventional. It was obviously decorated by someone with real taste.
In fact, many players who entered this private room liked the style and layout inside so much that they transformed their real study rooms into the same style.
As a man of two generations, Wang Hao would not make a fuss about this. He walked to the window and looked down. They were all densely packed with human heads.
"Hello sir, if you want to invite your friends here, you can enter your friend's nickname or ID here. If the other party accepts it, they will be sent to this box in about ten seconds."
Meimei's job is not just to rent out the imperial box, but to explain the functions and uses of the box to her employer is also one of her responsibilities.
Although it was Wang Hao's first time to come to the Emperor's Box, he had heard a lot about the legends here. He knew some of the general functions, but in order not to look too conspicuous, he just listened to them.
Operate according to the other party's guidance.
He entered the names of York and others into the designated place one by one. Since he had sent them messages before, the other party did not resist this invitation. If it was an invitation from a stranger, they had the right to refuse.
York is always the most positive. Everyone received the invitation at almost the same time, but he was the first to enter the No. 1 box in Tianzi.
"Wow, there is such a good place here. Wang, where did you find it? It's really amazing!"
After finally squeezing out of the crowd and suddenly appearing in such a luxurious and spacious environment, York's excitement and joy were understandable.
He sat down on the sofa suddenly, and was immediately bounced up again, yelling and screaming while playing.
Shameful.
Wang Hao put his hand on his forehead in pain, looking miserable.
The girl, on the other hand, suppressed her smile, but her pretty brows twitched from time to time, obviously holding it in very hard.
Then Valerie and others were teleported in one after another, and there was another burst of exclamations.
When the cousins Chris and Christine first entered the imperial box, their eyes lit up subconsciously and they pointed at the surrounding furnishings. They seemed to be very researched.
However, the three people Wang Hao wanted to see most, Master Jie, did not move at all. He couldn't help but cast a doubtful glance at the beauty.
"Maybe your friend is delayed by something, you can wait 5 minutes and invite again."
The girl was considerate and quickly gave a solution. Then she turned her brows and said tentatively: "If you have second-level VIP permissions, you can observe the situation of your friends through this screen.
"
"Second-level VIP authority?"
This is another new word, and this is really the first time Wang Hao has heard it.
"Well, to put it simply, this is a generous benefit prepared by our Century Auction House for some big customers. As long as you deposit 10,000 gold coins in our auction house, you can enjoy the second-level VIP privileges."
Mei Mei chuckled and explained that she did not deny that she had her own selfish motives for doing this. The higher the other party's consumption, the better her performance would be.
It was rare to meet such a big customer, so she naturally had no intention of letting him go.
"Oh? Depositing 10,000 gold coins is a second-level permission. So what are the first-level and third-level permissions?"
Wang Hao became interested and asked one more question.
"The minimum requirement for level one VIP authority is to deposit five thousand gold coins, level three requires depositing 20,000 gold coins, level four requires fifty thousand, level five requires one hundred thousand, and the highest level nine VIP requires a deposit of one hundred thousand gold coins.
Ten thousand gold coins.”
Mei Mei's explanation made everyone present take a breath. The group of people standing here should be said to be the better group of players. I didn't expect that the VIP standard here is so high, even if all of them have deposits
Taken together, it is not enough to meet the minimum VIP standard here.
"Help me deposit 20,000 gold coins."
A voice with a low volume but absolutely shocking content reached everyone's ears. York was surprised and immediately jumped up from the sofa.
Everyone's eyes instantly locked onto the source of the sound, and their expressions instantly froze.
Wang Hao shrugged casually and said with a hypocritical smile: "I told you that I made a little money recently. Don't make a fuss, it's only 20,000 gold coins."
Show off, this is naked show off.
Seeing Wang Hao's proud and unbeatable expression, everyone had the urge to punch him in the face.
How should I put it? In European and American countries, private property is valued very much. Even couples often have their own expenses. So although others were curious about how Wang Hao earned such a large amount of money, no one came forward.
Inquiry.
Were they themselves, they would definitely not tell this secret.
"As a treat, you must go to the best pub in London and buy us a drink."
Although they won't get to the bottom of it, it doesn't mean that everyone will let Wang Hao go easily. Obviously, it will be difficult for them to calm down unless they kill this newly minted rich man.
"No." Wang Hao shook his head resolutely, and immediately saw everyone's eyes as if they wanted to eat people. He laughed, "One time is not enough, at least three times."
After hearing this, everyone turned from anger to joy.
This is all just a joke. Even in the most expensive bar in the UK, each person only spends one or two gold coins. This kind of money is really not taken seriously by Wang Hao now.
While everyone was talking, Mei Mei had already completed all the procedures.
She looked at the man in front of her with golden eyes, and the smile on her face became thicker. At the same time, she couldn't help but admire her own vision and courage. When she went to go through the formalities just now, she clearly saw the admiring glances from her superiors.
He couldn't help but feel a little elated.
"Hello. Your VIP authority has reached level three. You can enter your friend's ID and we will transfer you to the camera closest to him." The girl paused and her expression became a little more serious, "Please be careful.
Use your permission. If we find that your use of this permission involves peeking into other people's privacy, our company will reserve the right to withdraw this permission."
When he said perfect eyebrows, he blinked his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and made a cute expression, "These are all required by the regulations, but if you are more careful and don't let me see it, you'll be fine."
It was obviously a small reward from her in a personal way.
Wang Hao laughed when he heard this. He was not that boring to do that kind of thing.
What he didn't know was that in another time and space, someone actually used this kind of authority to eavesdrop on the conversations of competitors, thereby knowing the other party's lowest bidding price and taking advantage of it.
Wang Hao then entered the IDs of Master Jie and the other three, and a few snowflakes appeared on the screen. After about three seconds, images of the characters began to appear.
"Yes, that's him."
Wang Hao recognized Young Master Jie the first time he saw him. It was as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know who he was. Not only did he have the same name, but he didn't even modify his appearance. He just appeared in front of him as he was.
.
A strong heat rushed to his throat, causing him to speak out uncontrollably.
There were several people standing next to Mr. Jie. Wang Hao recognized one of them after taking a hard look at him. Monkey's appearance had changed too much. He remembered that the other person had not changed before.
He's so handsome, he's almost catching up with him.
"Found it."
Brother Dong hid behind the crowd, with most of his body covered. Wang Hao looked for a long time before he saw him.
However, something doesn't seem quite right.
Mr. Jie seemed to have had a dispute with someone. Monkey was standing by to help, while Brother Dong's face turned red with anger and his fists were almost raised to his head.
Wang Hao couldn't help but be shocked. Brother Dong was known for his good temper. It was obviously not an ordinary thing to make him so angry.
"Can you turn on the sound?"
The girl nodded and started operating directly next to her. Soon, a processed figure came from the speakers next to her.
Because there were too many players below, even if they talked quietly to each other, the noise was still very loud. In order to let Wang Hao clearly hear the conversation of Jie Shao and others, Meimei even secretly used herself when adjusting the system.
employee permissions.
In the spirit of serving big customers, I believe no one will care about her little outrageous behavior.
"Hey, thank you for what happened last time. The brothers in my guild like the sets of equipment you sent me very much. They asked me when I am free and we can go to the sea arena to play again?"
This person spoke in a very arrogant voice, but Wang Hao was sure that he did not know such a person. From the tone of the other person's tone, it seemed that Master Jie and others had suffered a big loss from the opponent in the sea arena, and seemed to have lost several sets.
equipment.
With the current development momentum of the Four Seas Guild and the continuous inflow of funds from the South China Sea, a few sets of equipment are not taken lightly, but why are Dong Ge and others so angry?
Wang Hao didn't quite understand, so he invited the three of them again.
"With one or two well-known masters, no matter how good they are, how can they compare with my second brother? If you have the ability, let's just start a team battle next time and try it. Whoever shrinks is a coward." Monkey also looked very excited,
Even the title of second brother came out.
Wang Hao ranks second among the four buddies, but they are used to playing around and call each other by their own nicknames. They will only change their names in front of outsiders.
The man's aura was frustrated, "Humph, I admit that that man is quite capable, but I put my words here. As long as he dares to come back, someone will naturally deal with him. As for you..." The disdain in his words was almost palpable.
Wang Hao became even more curious when he heard this. He seemed to know him from the other person's tone, and then he saw Brother Dong lowering his head, as if he had received his invitation.
After all, Brother Dong was a kind man. Thinking that the mouse was still waiting there, he swallowed his anger and came over to comfort Mr. Jie and the monkey.
"Let's wait and see, they are a bunch of lackeys."
After the monkey said these words, he suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the figures of Master Jie and Brother Dong also began to fade.
The man watched helplessly as the three living people in front of him disappeared. Fortunately, they were in a game, otherwise he would have been scared to death.
"You guys can run fast." He said angrily, and then he led his men around below.
