How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 194 Small Auction

After the two of them sat down, Shopkeeper Hu said, "Mr. Li, these things are too valuable, and I can't afford so much money all at once. I wonder if Mr. Li can wait a moment and let me organize some people to do a live transaction?"

"On-site transaction?" Li Le looked at the shopkeeper in confusion.

"Yes, it's an on-site transaction. Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss. How about this, we will split the extra part of the price of 745,000 equally."

After the shopkeeper said this, Li Le became interested. Although the shopkeeper seemed to be trying to get something for nothing, Li Le did not object to this situation.

Because this is someone else's connection, Li Le also wants to do this, but he doesn't have such a connection!

"Yes, I can, but I don't know how long it will take?"

Li Le is anxious to take action now. If it only takes a day or half a day, he can wait.

But if it takes several days, he won't be able to wait.

"It doesn't take that long, just give me two hours." said the shopkeeper.

"Two hours! No problem."

"Okay, I'll contact the person right away, and we'll go to the second floor in a bit."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

The shopkeeper made a few phone calls in front of Li Le, and then said to Li Le: "People will be here soon, but we need to move the things in first."

"Okay." Li Le nodded.

Then, under the instruction of the shopkeeper, several shop assistants started to work.

Although the items were heavy, they were small in size, so several shop assistants each made a few trips and moved the items in.

Of course, they moved into a larger room on the second floor, which looked like an auction house to Li Le.

Needless to say, this is the auction hall of the antique shop. Sometimes when they get good stuff, the store will organize people to auction it themselves.

The clerk had already placed the yellow croaker on the table, and Li Le and the shopkeeper were sitting casually on the chairs below the table.

No one has come yet, so the two of them sit down and chat. In fact, the shopkeeper wants to ask Li Le if he still has this thing.

Li Le didn't say whether there was or not, he just smiled at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper understood.

The two people had a pleasant chat.

It turns out that the shopkeeper has quite a lot of appeal. In just about an hour, seven or eight people came one after another.

"Mr. Li, don't be anxious. Not all the people have arrived yet. If they all come, there will be about twenty people."

"I'm not in a hurry." Li Le shook his head.

He was really not in a hurry, he was just a little excited because if there were so many people, he could sell more.

Of course, that’s all for today, I can get more next time.

Just as the shopkeeper said, about twenty people came in the end.

Moreover, among these twenty or so people, the youngest is over 40 years old, and the oldest is probably over 70 years old.

What does this prove? It proves that these people have purchasing power!

"Shopkeeper Hu, what good things do you have today?" asked an old man in his fifties.

"Master Ma, please wait a moment, you will know in a moment."

Listening to the conversation between the two people, Li Le knew that the shopkeeper did not tell these people what it was.

"Okay! I'll wait." After saying this, the master Ma found a place to sit down.

Then the shopkeeper came up from downstairs, walked onto the stage, and stood in front of a small auction table.

"Everyone is here, so let's get started. The items being auctioned today are what everyone particularly wants, so I'll keep it a secret for now." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

The shopkeeper did not say what was to be auctioned, but he said that it was something that everyone particularly wanted, which caused the people below to talk about it.

Seeing that it was almost done, the shopkeeper pressed his hands and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Okay, that's about it. There's only one item for auction today, but it will be divided into four lots."

After he finished speaking, the shopkeeper said to the clerks standing in the corner, "Open your things."

Several shop assistants rushed over and opened all the boxes of yellow croaker. Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared and everyone saw what it was.

"Big yellow croaker!"

“So many big yellow croakers!”

After everyone's emotions were aroused, the shopkeeper pressed his hand again and said, "Yes, it is the large yellow croaker. Five hundred pieces will be auctioned at a time, in groups of five hundred, and the starting price for each piece is 750,000."

"Seven hundred and sixty thousand."

"Seven hundred and sixty-five thousand."

"Seven hundred and seventy thousand."

Everyone was bidding very actively. There was nothing we could do. These were 500 pieces! They were worth hundreds of millions.

With so many yellow croakers at home, or in my hands, I feel at ease at all times.

This thing is fixed in peacetime and prosperous times. If something happens, this thing is also gold!

How could I not be positive?

Let me put it this way, if the world remains peaceful and prosperous, the value of this thing will become higher and higher.

Perhaps after many years, it will no longer be a semi-antique, but a real antique.

The most important thing is that this thing is different from ordinary gold. Ordinary gold is just gold no matter how long it is kept.

And this one is now semi-antique.

"Eight hundred thousand."

An old man shouted out a price of 800,000, which made many people turn around and look at him.

You know, 800,000 is a lot! According to the current market price, one is 750,000.

If we can have 770,000 or 80,000, it would already be a lot more.

But now that the price of 800,000 has been called out, it’s no longer the case.

Sure enough, before anyone could react, someone else shouted, "Eight hundred and ten thousand."

"Eight hundred and fifteen thousand dollars."

The old man who had previously shouted out 800,000 added another 5,000.

"Eight hundred and twenty thousand."

"Eight hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars."

Then Li Le heard someone next to him say, "Damn, are you kidding me? This is more than 70,000 yuan higher than the market price."

"That's normal! If there are a large number of them, you can keep them at home or put them in a bank safe as heirlooms." said another person.

"Yes, but unfortunately I can't come up with so much money at the moment." The man smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In fact, this is quite normal. Although there are only 500 sticks in one auction, according to the current price, it is more than 400 million.

It’s okay if you have a lot of cash on hand, but if you have less cash on hand, it’s difficult to come up with so much money in a short period of time.

"Eight hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars a time."

"Is there any higher bid?"

"Eight hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars twice."

"Eight hundred and twenty-five thousand three times."

"make a deal!"

After the first transaction at 825,000 yuan, the next two transactions were at the same price.

Until the fourth time, which was the last time, someone offered 825,000 yuan, and then another person added 5,000 yuan.

The price was raised to 830,000 and the deal was finally completed, which means that the price had reached 830,000.

To be honest, Li Le didn't expect this.
