There was a dark line on Zhong Hua's face, and he could only retreat to the side in disbelief.
It can be seen that he, the great elder of the auction house, has no status in front of Mr. Xin, the treasure appraiser.
However, he is the mainstay of the auction house after all, and he still has some experience in pricing matters. Although Xin Lao did not give an answer, he quickly got an approximate price based on his many years of experience.
At the same time, he felt a little happy in his heart.
Fortunately, after many years of training, he has tempered his character to the extreme. If he was really angry with Qin Yi just now, then this sword polished by high-quality kendama would be auctioned by Zhong Yu.
It's completely out of luck.
There is no doubt that such a sword, which can become the treasure of the Four Tripod Sect, can be auctioned in their auction house, which is of great benefit.
First of all, the transaction price of the sword must be very high. Then they can make a good income by taking a 20% commission.
Of course, the most important thing is not this. Just imagine, if a sword polished from high-quality kendama can be auctioned in their auction house, how much of a sensation will it cause?
There is no doubt that once this sword is auctioned here, the reputation of their Zhong Yu Auction House will rise to a whole new level because of this sword.
Once the reputation spreads, the auction house's business will also increase. This is a long-term benefit.
Obviously, this sword can be regarded as a major opportunity for their auction house.
So as the elder of the auction house, Zhong Yun, has any reason to be unhappy?
"Friend, there is one thing I don't understand."
Suddenly, Mr. Xin, who was looking down at the sword, raised his head and looked at Qin Yi and asked: "This sword is already a priceless treasure. If I were you, I would definitely keep this sword for myself. You can consider it the same."
Why would a relatively shrewd person give up such a treasure just for the sake of a small profit?"
Qin Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect that the old man would actually feel worthless for him.
He originally thought that as a treasure appraiser of the auction house, he would definitely advise Qin Yi to sell the sword for the benefit of the auction house. However, the old man actually advised him not to sell it. He even ignored it directly.
Zhong Hua's face changed drastically, as if a piece of flesh was about to be cut off.
Qin Yi thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly. He couldn't say that this sword was nothing in his eyes, right?
If that's true, then I'm afraid it will be a big problem for him to even walk out of the auction house alive.
This is his first contact with Zhong Yu Auction House. If too many things are exposed, he is looking for death.
At that moment, he could only say: "With my body and bones, do you think I can still survive with such a treasure in my body? This thing is a treasure to others, but if I put it here, it is simply a life-threatening charm."
Xin Lao frowned and looked at Qin Yi. He couldn't find any flaw in what he said. To be honest, he still believed Qin Yi's words. After all, Qin Yi looked like this, and it didn't look like anything.
It is normal for a big shot to not be able to keep his treasure if he really has it.
"It's almost time. You'd better prepare as soon as possible and take out my things for auction."
Qin Yi chuckled and did not want to go any further on this topic: "There is one more thing I need Elder Zhong to help me with."
Zhong Yun's favorable impression of Qin Yi doubled now. Seeing that Qin Yi needed help, he immediately asked: "What's the matter, but it's okay to talk!"
Qin Yi smiled and said, "I want to participate in this auction."
Zhong Yun waved his hands cheerfully and said: "I thought it was a big deal. Since you entrusted the things to our auction house for auction, you are a distinguished guest of our auction house. What's the big deal about participating in an auction? I'll go now.
Arrangements are made for you to enter the VIP area."
It has to be said that Zhong Yun, a businessman, is quite open-minded and will consider everything thoroughly in everything he does and try his best to satisfy people.
Qin Yi didn't expect that the other party would agree so readily. He laughed and said, "In that case, thank you very much."
"You are Welcome."
Zhong Yun laughed, then clapped his hands, and a maid came in immediately outside the door, holding a purple gold token in her hand.
"This is the VIP token of my Zhong Yu Auction House. You can use this token to participate in the auctions of my auction house in the future."
Immediately, he ordered the maid again: "Take the three distinguished guests to the VIP table and serve them well! Try to satisfy them as much as possible."
The maid respectfully agreed without saying anything, and took Qin Yi and others directly to the auction venue.
It has to be said that Zhong Yun's attitude at the moment is still very enthusiastic, and his work really satisfies Qin Yi and others.
His eyes were extremely vicious. Although Qin Yi's previous explanation seemed to be perfect, in his eyes, coupled with Qin Yi's previous performance, he concluded that Qin Yi was definitely not an ordinary person.
And this kind of person must have deep meaning when hiding himself. If he can form a good relationship with the other person, then there may be such a good opportunity in the future.
Therefore, it is still very necessary to express his sincerity as much as possible at the moment.
…
Under the leadership of the maid, Qin Yi quickly arrived at the venue where the auction was held.
This is an extremely open space, which can accommodate at least a thousand people. On the uppermost floor behind the space, there is an independent space with small windows opening on it. It is obviously the so-called VIP area.
At this moment, the auction venue was already overcrowded. There were thousands of seats, but not even half of them were empty. There was a lot of people inside, and everyone was talking about today's auction and their goals for the day.
The maid led Qin Yi and the others into an independent passage. Soon, the group arrived at the room where the VIP area was located.
There are many rooms in this row, at least more than thirty, and there is already light in many rooms, so it is obvious that there are people already there.
The maid brought Qin Yi and the others to the door of a free room and said respectfully to Qin Yi: "Please take out your token."
Qin Yi did not refuse, he directly took out the token and handed it to the other party.
The maid stretched out her hand and drew the token in front of the door. Then a purple-gold light flashed and the door opened.
"This will be your exclusive room from now on. When you come here, you can open it with the token."
"Thank you." Qin Yi thanked him, then took out a thousand spiritual stones from the storage ring and handed it to the maid: "You have nothing to do here, go and do your work."
