Chapter 48: Price Increase
"Brother Ren, they've offered 4 million, should we add to that?"
A red-haired young man turned around and asked the young man sitting on the sofa holding a glass of red wine.
If Mo Qingyan and the others were here, they would recognize that the young man holding the wine glass was Ren Zhongxing, who brought people to Taozui Club to challenge Taozui on Taozui's birthday.
Hearing what the red-haired young man said, Ren Zhongxing glared at him and said, "It's already 4 million, why add more? I'm not crazy. Just play with them. If they want to bleed, let them bleed."
Seeing that Mo Qingyan had raised the price to 4 million, Ren Zhongxing certainly would not follow suit.
What if Mo Qingyan doesn't add him anymore, wouldn't he be in trouble?
4 million, just to buy a cow, he is not crazy.
"Okay, I understand." The red-haired young man immediately complimented, "Brother Ren, you are really awesome. You took the price of over one million and directly ripped him off to 4 million. That guy must be vomiting blood now."
"It's better to spit on him." Ren Zhongxing gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for him last time, I would have already defeated Tao Zui and taken over Tao Zui's club. It was because of him that I lost my car and the villa in Jinghu. During this period of time, I have become the biggest joke in City A."
When Ren Zhongxing thought of the recent humiliations he had suffered, he felt a pang of hatred.
Later, he asked someone to investigate Mo Qingyan, only to find out that the other party seemed to be just the son of a nouveau riche.
His nouveau riche parents had long since passed away.
Now, that kid is showing off with the money left by his parents.
There is no background behind it at all.
It's not that difficult to deal with a guy like this who only has money and no background.
It’s not difficult to deal with, but it’s a bit difficult.
Now he is the only one left on the other side. If they want to deal with him, they have to start with Mo Qingyan himself.
However, Mo Qingyan has been on live variety shows recently, so it is not easy for him to directly find someone to attack him.
If you are not careful, you may implicate yourself.
Bei Xiyue from the Bei family is an example of this.
Therefore, with the lesson of Bei Xiyue, Ren Zhongxing did not dare to attack Mo Qingyan at will.
Unexpectedly, he got lucky and accidentally saved the eldest daughter of a big family in Shangjing.
Unexpectedly, after he saved the young lady, she fell in love with him at first sight and was ready to marry him.
Although the young lady's appearance did not quite meet his aesthetic standards, he just thought about the benefits he could get after marrying her.
Ren Zhongxing felt that everything was worth it.
At least, the identity of the heir to the Ren family, which he had always dreamed of, could now be easily obtained.
The young lady doesn't have any hobbies, except for eating.
Therefore, in order to please the eldest lady, Ren Zhongxing came to the Mengdeli auction in person, ready to buy some precious ingredients and let the state banquet-level chef prepare delicious food for the eldest lady.
Unexpectedly, he met Mo Qingyan and Tao Zui here.
The reason why Ren Zhongxing knew this was because one of his men happened to be at the door and saw Mo Qingyan and the others enter private room No. 8.
Ren Zhongxing then immediately asked someone to check the owner of private room No. 8.
The name displayed is Mo Qingyan.
When enemies meet, they become jealous of each other.
Therefore, Ren Zhongxing deliberately raised the price when bidding for private room No. 8.
The purpose was to make Mo Qingyan bleed.
Although Ren Zhongxing was still unsatisfied after cheating Mo Qingyan out of 2 million yuan, he knew that he had to quit while he was ahead.
Otherwise, if Mo Qingyan doesn't raise the price later, he will be the one being cheated.
The auctioneer on the stage called out prices on both sides, but no one in Private Room 1 raised the price.
Mo Qingyan knew that the other party would definitely not raise the price again.
After all, it's already 4 million. If the other party raises the price again, he is either mentally ill or he really loves this last Xiangguo cattle.
"4 million, third time, deal. Congratulations to Room 8 for successfully bidding on the last Xiangguo Niu."
As the auctioneer finalized the deal, Mo Qingyan immediately called over the staff.
Take out the card and swipe it, all in one go.
Finally, I completed the task three minutes before the countdown ended.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the intermediate spendthrift task and being rewarded with an intermediate lottery. 】
Mo Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the system prompt that the task was completed.
My tense nerves finally relaxed.
Mo Qingyan was so anxious to pay that it seemed as if the cows would run away if she was a little late.
How much does Brother Mo like the Xiangguo Beef?
I actually paid such a high price to buy it.
In the eyes of Song Beichen and others, Mo Qingyan directly spent 4 million to buy a cow.
It’s such a loss.
"Brother Mo, how did you get fooled? That person is obviously trying to provoke you and trick you into raising the price."
Song Beichen didn't expect that it would happen in just a moment. Mo Qingyan actually raised the price to 4 million.
It was too late for him to stop it.
"I know the other party wants to trick me." Mo Qingyan knew it of course.
"You added so much money even though you knew that, Brother Mo?" Yin Yiyi didn't understand. If he knew, wouldn't Brother Mo be deliberately offering himself to be cheated?
Isn't this a pure and innocent person?
Mo Qingyan said meaningfully: "As long as I get what I want, it doesn't matter how much more money I add. However, I got what I wanted, but I don't know if the person in Room 1 can easily get what he wants later."
"Brother Mo, what you mean is..." Song Beichen's eyes lit up.
"This is possible." Yin Yiyi couldn't help but rub her hands together.
"Brother Mo, do you need me to check the people in private room No. 1? After all, those who can enter the private room have extraordinary identities." Tao Zui was cautious after all. Although in City A, the few of them together could easily do whatever they wanted.
However, he was afraid of something unexpected happening.
So, it’s better to be cautious.
"No matter who is in Private Room 1, since they dare to raise our price like that, they should be prepared for our revenge." Joanna is also an impulsive person.
She really couldn't stand this humiliation.
Mo Qingyan had the same idea as Qi Na and the other two.
He said to Taozui, "Taozui, being cautious is a good thing. But sometimes, being too cautious means lacking drive. It is not a good thing for young people to lack drive."
Mo Qingyan understood that people who studied finance tended to be more cautious. After all, in the financial industry, one could be crushed to pieces or even left with no remains if one was not careful.
However, sometimes, we lose many opportunities because we are too cautious.
These words were told to Mo Qingyan by a senior whom he knew in the past.
It sounded reasonable to me, so I kept it in mind.
Coincidentally, he felt that this statement was also suitable for Taozui.
Compared with Song Beichen and the other three, Tao Zui seemed to be too cautious.
If they were the ones who started it, then they need to be careful.
But now it is the other party who started the trouble first. No matter who it is, it is the style of these young people to give others a taste of their own medicine.
Tao Zui was stunned for a moment after hearing Mo Qingyan's words, and then he reacted and seemed to understand.
Said: "Brother Mo is right. I have indeed been a little timid recently. I understand."
"Do you really understand?" Mo Qingyan asked.
Tao Zui said seriously: "I understand, Brother Mo, I know what to do now."
"Well, I understand."
What Mo Qingyan told him was that he should not worry about the people in private room 1, and that the young people should just do it.
However, Taoyu was thinking about other things.
The two people were talking about completely different things, yet they were unusually harmonious.
The audience in the live broadcast room almost dropped their jaws when they saw that Mo Qingyan spent 10 million to buy four cows.
"I really don't understand the world of the rich. With 10 million, they buy villas and luxury cars. Isn't that great? They actually bought four cows?"
"So, they are rich and we are poor! (Spreading hands) For us, 10 million is a huge sum of money that we may never earn in a lifetime. But for rich people, it is just the money for four cows."
“It really opened my eyes.”
"Do you think Brother Mo can eat all the cattle he bought?"
"If you can't finish the food, put it in the cold storage. That's totally fine. I remember that there's a small cold storage in Mo's big flat."
"Brother Mo's problem of squandering money needs to be cured! At the rate at which Brother Mo squanders money, no amount of family assets can sustain it."
"It's only been a short time, and I've seen Brother Mo spend tens of millions. This is what they say about spending money like water."
"Am I the only one who noticed that Brother Mo said he was going to kill the people in Room 1?"
"Then we have to do it. They are the ones who caused trouble for Brother Mo first. Can't Brother Mo fight back?"
…
Mo Qingyan originally thought that it would take a long time for action to take place in Private Room No. 1.
I didn’t expect that there would be movement in private room 1 just after one lot was auctioned.
The ingredients being auctioned this time are a batch of rare seafood imported from Country Y.
Although China also has its own waters, some seafood is not available in China's waters.
Therefore, many rare seafoods have to be imported.
Of course, the seafood that can be included in this auction cannot be frozen.
These are all fresh seafood shipped from thousands of miles away from abroad.
In order to ensure the freshness of the seafood, a lot of effort and money are needed.
Naturally, the price won’t be cheap.
Ren Zhongxing came here this time just for these rare seafood.
The quantity of these seafoods is not large, but because of their rarity and the high cost of transporting them fresh.
It’s not cheap.
The starting price was 1.8 million.
It is much more expensive than Xiangguo beef.
As soon as the seafood came out, Ren Zhongxing immediately called out the price.
In his opinion, many people at the auction saw him enter Room 1.
Since he has already made an offer, basically no one will raise his price unless they want to offend the Ren family.
As expected, after he made the bid, the people in the hall on the first floor who had been bidding just now became quiet.
"Two million per time..."
This batch of seafood is very valuable. In the past, the auction price has basically reached around 3.5 million.
If you can get it for 2 million, it would be a great bargain.
Just when Ren Zhongxing thought he could buy this batch of seafood for 2 million.
The bid for Room 8 has been made.
"Private Room 8, 2.5 million."
Seeing that Private Room 8 had made another bid, everyone in the lobby on the first floor couldn't help but turn around and look at Private Room 8.
Just now, the fight between private room 8 and private room 1 just ended!
Anyone could see that Room 1 was deliberately trying to trick Room 8.
Private Room No. 8 bought the last Xiangguo cattle at a high price of 4 million.
Now, Room 1 has made a bid, and Room 8 immediately follows suit.
This time the roles seem to be reversed, so it's going to be interesting to watch.
Seeing that the price of private room No. 8 had increased, Ren Zhongxing immediately added another price.
"Room No. 1, 2.6 million."
This batch of seafood is the best among all the seafood being auctioned. She is the favorite of the eldest lady from Beijing, and he must win her over.
"Room No. 8 is 2.8 million."
Mo Qingyan didn't want to play the 50,000 stacking game with Private Room No. 1.
He directly jumped to 2.8 million.
"Brother Mo, I just checked. The last auction price of this batch of seafood was 3.5 million." Meng Deli keeps records of every item he auctions.
So, Taozui found out quickly.
"3.5 million. Okay, I get it." Mo Qingyan knew what was going on.
It’s still a long way from 3.5 million!
Anyway, he has completed his mission now and has plenty of time, so he can take his time.
Ren Zhongxing got angry when he saw that the price of private room No. 8 was directly raised to 2.8 million.
"Damn it, that Mo Qingyan is really against me. Increase it to 3 million. Let's see if he will follow suit."
"Private Room No. 1, 3 million per session."
the auctioneer on the stage shouted.
Seeing that the other party directly raised the price to 3 million, Yin Yiyi said to Mo Qingyan: "Brother Mo, let's raise the price to 3.5 million."
"How can 3.5 million be enough? Be bold." Mo Qingyan directly offered 4 million.
"Brother Mo, isn't this too high? What if the other party doesn't raise the price?"
Song Beichen was a little worried that he might have gone too far. After all, the 4 million was already more than the last auction price.
Mo Qingyan said indifferently: "If you don't want to add it, then don't add it. We won't lose money if we buy this batch of seafood for 4 million. Maybe we can make some money by reselling it."
"Ah? You can still make money?" Song Beichen asked in confusion: "How do you make money?"
This price has reached the top!
"Didn't you watch the news? Country Y suddenly announced today that there was overfishing, so the amount of seafood caught had to be reduced to one third. With such a large reduction, there must be less that can be exported. Will the price of seafood in Country Y go up?"
Country Y is a well-known seafood country.
Because the water quality in Country Y’s waters is the best.
Therefore, even if it is the same type of seafood, the meat will be more delicious if it comes from Country Y.
Therefore, the seafood in Country Y is famous for its good quality.
Naturally, the price is more expensive.
Rare seafood like the one at the auction is even rarer on the market, so the price is definitely higher.
"Yes, how could I forget about this." This news was just released this morning and became a hot topic. Song Beichen also saw it.
Yin Yiyi said: "In this case, what are we afraid of? I think Brother Mo is right, we should be bolder. I think we can offer up to 5 million."
"Actually, I think we can be a little bolder. 6 million is also fine." Zina suggested.
"Well, your suggestions are all good. At worst, we can just sell the seafood to Tao Zui. It just so happens that his club also needs high-end seafood, right Tao Zui?" Mo Qingyan looked at Tao Zui with a smile.
This means that they are planning to find Tao Zui to take over.
"Brother Mo, you have thought about this and you still ask me. How can I say no?" Tao Zui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Of course not."
Mo Qingyan, Song Beichen and others said in unison.
Private room 1.
"Brother Ren, it's 4 million now. They've offered 4 million, should we increase it?"
The red-haired young man felt that the price had reached its peak.
After all, the last auction price for this seafood was only 3.5 million.
"Add." Ren Zhongxing said without hesitation: "We must get this batch of seafood."
The young lady who went to Beijing liked to eat seafood from Country Y.
He had already promised the eldest lady from Beijing that he would bring the seafood back today and make a seafood feast for her.
Therefore, he must get this seafood.
"Add 300,000. I don't believe that Mo Qingyan can add more."
In fact, Ren Zhongxing's ideas are too conservative.
As soon as his 4.3 million came out.
Mo Qingyan directly raised the price to 5 million.
"Five million, Brother Ren." The red-haired young man looked back at Ren Zhongxing hesitantly, "This price is already more than one million higher than the last auction. If we add more, the premium will be too much."
The red-haired young man felt that there was no need to add more.
It's just some seafood after all.
5 million is enough to buy a nice supercar.
The supercar that Ren Zhongxing used to own only cost a few million.
"More." Ren Zhongxing gritted his teeth and said, "Increase it to 5.5 million."
Damn Mo Qingyan, the seafood that could originally be bought for 2 million now requires him to spend more than 3 million.
Just wait, once he gets the seafood, he will let Mo Qingyan know the price of offending him.
Seeing that the price of Room 8 had suddenly increased to 5.5 million, Mo Qingyan touched her chin and said, "It seems that the other party is determined to get this batch of seafood!"
Yin Yiyi asked, "Could it be that they also guessed that the price of seafood in Country Y would increase, so they planned to stockpile and make a profit?"
"Maybe. In any case, since we know they are determined to get it, we must help them."
Mo Qingyan input the price of 6 million, and then pretended to be struggling and said: "Alas, I really like this seafood, but it's a pity that it's too expensive. I'm a poor man and can't afford it. If others raise the price again, I will have to give in."
"That's right. We are very poor."
"Yes, this 6 million is already our reserve price. If Room 1 raises the price again, it seems we will have no choice but to give up."
"We can't help it. We are poor! We can't afford to buy anything over 6 million."
“I’m so poor that I can’t even afford seafood.”
Seeing Mo Qingyan and others talking about 6 million on the one hand and saying they were poor on the other, the audience in the live broadcast room all laughed.
"Haha, here's a joke. Brother Mo and the others said they were poor."
"They are indeed poor. After all, Brother Mo just spent 10 million to buy a few cows! (Funny)"
"The price of seafood originally priced at 2 million has been raised to 6 million. The people in Room 1 must be so angry that their teeth are about to break, right?"
"Haha, you deserve it. It was the people in Room 1 who provoked our Brother Mo first. You were just attending an auction and you had to make yourself uncomfortable."
""
"Six million? Mo Qingyan and the others are looking for death, right?"
When Ren Zhongxing saw that the price of private room No. 8 had been raised to 6 million, he was so angry that his teeth were about to break.
At this moment, he was so angry that he lost his mind.
He shouted directly at the red-haired young man: "Add it to 7 million. If they have the ability, they can follow up with 8 million."
The red-haired young man looked at Ren Zhongxing, whose forehead veins were bulging with anger, and knew that he had lost his mind.
He wanted to persuade.
However, he knew that Ren Zhongxing might not be able to listen at this time.
Never mind. It’s not his money anyway.
Ren Zhongxing can pay as much as he wants.
"Private Room No. 1, 7 million per time."
As soon as the price was announced, there was a commotion in the lobby on the first floor.
"Seven million?"
"This price is even more outrageous than the Xiangguo beef just now!"
"Well, when the gods fight, we can only watch the show."
"Private Room 8 and Private Room 1 are at odds with each other! Who will end up with the seafood?"
"Guess if Room 8 will increase its price again?"
"I think so. After all, it looks like Private Room 8 is determined to get this batch of seafood."
"Haha, maybe the price of this batch of seafood could be tens of millions!"
"The people who occupy these two private rooms must be second generation people, otherwise the prices wouldn't be so high."
…
Just as everyone was looking at Room 8, waiting for Room 8 to make a bid.
There was no movement in room 8.
"7 million, second time."
the auctioneer on the stage shouted.
His eyes also turned towards Room 8, waiting for the price of Room 8 to increase.
Ren Zhongxing in Private Room 1 was also waiting for Private Room 8 to raise the price.
In Ren Zhongxing's opinion, since Mo Qingyan and the others had made such a quick offer just now, they would definitely raise the price.
When they really raised the offer to 7.5 million or 8 million, he gave up immediately.
That's right, give up.
Because the price of 7 million was beyond Ren Zhongxing's budget.
Ren Zhongxing, who had calmed down a little at this time, also felt that the price of 7 million he had just quoted was really irrational.
After all, although this batch of seafood is rare, it is not unique.
He had promised the eldest lady who went to Beijing that he would bring back the seafood today.
But it didn't mention any country's seafood.
At worst, he could just buy other seafood.
Anyway, there are also imported seafood from other countries at this auction.
However, we kept waiting.
There was still no movement in Room 8.
The auctioneer on the stage finally raised the small hammer in his hand and let it fall.
"Congratulations to Room 1 for buying a batch of seafood imported from Country Y at a price of 7 million."
The people in the lobby on the first floor felt like they were watching a show that had been cut short at the end.
Why is it that the price of private room No. 8 suddenly stopped increasing?
Wasn’t it added very refreshingly just now?
When Ren Zhongxing heard the auctioneer's congratulations and the applause from downstairs, his mind was suddenly stunned.
"How could this happen? Why didn't they raise the price?"
It's over, he's been fooled.
