Chapter 10: Jialuo Auction House
The dark web accepted the task order and kept the shipment confidential throughout the process. It was first sent to a third party for inspection, and only after confirmation that there were no problems was it sent to the Galao Auction.
The dark web hasn't received a formal commission for a long time. This time, the dark web staff from top to bottom attached great importance to it and specially expedited the processing.
Shen Ning, the seller, had no idea what kind of shock the auction house had received when the B-level pheromones were sent to it.
The manager of the auction house has been consulted.
When the manager heard about the B-level pheromones, he immediately intercepted the dark web person and brought him to the conference room. "Can we discuss the purchase price?"
Their auction house has many big clients. In addition, the auction house itself is also coveted for such good things.
This is a B-level pheromone.
For ordinary people, it can extend life expectancy by 5 years.
No one thinks life is too long!
Furthermore, Class B pheromones are also very important "strategic materials" in the field of scientific research.
But the dark web refused. They rarely received a serious commission, and they had to do it in accordance with the client's wishes.
The auction manager was known for his eloquence, but at this moment, even after talking for a while, the other party still refused to agree.
The dark web is keeping its mouth shut.
Even in this situation, the manager still didn't give up and kept trying, which made people almost annoyed!
The dark web staff member said directly: "Can you do this order? There is more than one auction house in this star field."
This one sentence successfully shut the manager up.
If I agree to the auction, I can at least keep the B-level pheromones here. If I don't agree, it will be terrible!
Even if this kind of thing can't be used to please big customers, it can still attract a wave of popularity.
"Then let's bid in seven days."
The dark web staff directly refused, jokingly saying, "Just think of the people at the auction who are so petty. Who knows how many unexpected events will happen in seven days!"
This is the first commission on the dark web in recent years, and nothing can go wrong.
Without even asking Chen Ning, the people on the dark web made the decision: "Let's auction it today! Sell it quickly!"
The auction manager must have really been threatened.
I had no choice but to agree.
When it came time to set the starting price, I was shocked again.
Seeing how aggressive they were, the auction manager thought he was prepared for the other party to ask for a huge price, but who would have thought that the starting bid would be without a base salary.
And there is no set bid price! All we want is to pay as soon as possible.
The auction staff quickly entered the data and conducted the appraisal.
The Jialuo Auction has an auction every day! Today was originally the jewelry auction. Not many people made reservations.
The manager immediately announced that a bottle of Grade B pheromone was up for auction today!
It immediately caused a sensation on the Star Network.
Ever since the news broke, the manager's phone hasn't stopped ringing. They're all big clients, each one more prestigious than the last.
The manager could only smile at everyone one by one.
The auction usually starts at 8pm, and many people will arrive around 7:30pm.
But as soon as the news came out today, people started arriving one after another at 4 pm.
Before five o'clock, the largest exhibition hall of the auction was already full! But people were still coming in.
The manager was so busy that he immediately called the security personnel. It was at times like this that the quality of their auction house had to be demonstrated.
But the desire for pheromones exceeded everyone's expectations.
This is a treasure that can prolong your life.
What's more, it's a complete bottle! It's worth it whether you want to win over others or use it yourself.
The manager knew that many people would come to buy B-rated shares, but he didn't expect so many people to come.
Those who came in later couldn't find a place!
The auction manager was sweating on his forehead. He should have limited the number of people earlier, but now that everyone was here, it was too late to chase them away. He had no choice but to keep adding seats and security.
Although this situation is really worrying.
He felt a little proud in his heart.
Among the auction houses in the entire star field, the Garo Auction House is considered medium-sized, but with the news of pheromones coming out today, its level has suddenly risen.
Moreover, there was no advance warm-up, and there were still so many people, which shows how much everyone is eager for pheromones.
Time passes by every second.
But the manager of the Jialuo Auction House felt that it was incredibly fast.
Ever since the news was released, he has been busy like a top. He had to ask the workers to forcibly expand the two exhibition halls into one before he could barely sit down.
There were even some people who came later, who stood in the corridor just to witness the grand spectacle of the pheromone auction.
It was finally 8 o'clock in the evening.
The gold medal auctioneer of Jialuo Auction House is checking the process.
But the manager rushed in and said, "The situation has changed. Let's take a picture of the pheromones first."
The gold medal auctioneer was very surprised: "Didn't we agree that this would be the last one to be auctioned?" Such good things should always be the last one to be auctioned.
The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, there are too many people!"
He had intended to use the pheromone news to boost popularity, but it was so successful! Now the popularity remains high. Instead, it has become a hot potato.
It would be better to auction it off sooner rather than later. Otherwise, the situation will become increasingly difficult to control as time goes on.
He had been to thousands of auctions, but never had he felt so distressed.
The gold medal auctioneer also knew that the matter was urgent and quickly adjusted the order of the auction.
"It's all because of the federal agencies that restricted the sale of Class B pheromones. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened." The gold medal auctioneer complained.
The official price of B-level pheromones is 400,000 star coins.
If there is enough inventory, you can buy it if you save up enough money. However, it has been discontinued since a few years ago.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Pheromones are becoming increasingly scarce.
After a few more years, the shortage became outrageous.
"There's no official one either," the manager said. He quickly stopped talking and said, "It would be great if we could artificially cultivate female pheromones."
"That's a matter for later. Let's deal with the present first." said the gold medal auctioneer.
Soon the auctioneer's assistant arrived. Someone was also looking for the manager, and once again, members of the larger family were arriving. He had to stand outside to greet them.
…
There was chaos backstage, but eight o'clock still arrived as scheduled.
The gold medal auctioneer walked onto the stage with confident steps.
He has been through hundreds of auctions.
Generally, these are small but exquisite gatherings.
It was the first time I faced the huge crowd below.
Even he, who was used to big scenes, was dazed for a moment.
Then, with a humorous opening, the first lot was introduced: "I know everyone is here today for this B-level pheromone!"
"The benefits of B-level pheromones are beyond words!"
"It can cure mental disorder."
"And according to official data, Class B pheromones can extend the lifespan of males without the comfort of females by about five years!"
"The B-grade pheromone I have in my hand is brand new and unopened. It has been tested and is in good condition. There is no reserve price. Please bid freely." said the auctioneer.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "Two million!"
The whole audience was in an uproar.
The official price of this B-level pheromone is 400,000.
But the official product has been out of stock for a long time.
There were quite a few people here today watching the excitement. There were also those hoping to snag a bargain. When the auctioneer announced there would be no reserve price, I was actually a little delighted.
Who would have thought that someone would actually mess things up? The first bid went up to two million.
All of a sudden, 90% of the people in the audience lost the capital to bid.
The auctioneer dropped the hammer for the first time: "Two million per bid. Any more bids?"
If I could buy it for two million, it would be a good price.
The Gallo Auction House has compiled pheromone auction prices from recent years. Last month, at a Rome auction, one B-grade pheromone sold for 2.4 million. It had only been opened, with only 80% of the pheromone remaining.
This is a full bottle after all.
It’s impossible to find a bargain today, the first bid was two million.
Although this thing can save lives, not everyone is that rich.
Next up is the rich man’s game.
How much will it shout?
The auctioneer dropped the hammer a second time: "Two million, second time."
It quickly brought everyone back to their senses.
Then the price was raised again: "5 million."
This time, not only the poor people were shocked.
Even many wealthy people stood up and looked for the source of the sound.
A single offer of 5 million immediately left 95% of the people present with no hope.
Most people gave up bidding. Auction houses can't just randomly bid. If you win an item but can't pay, you'll be blacklisted by the auction house.
A complete social death.
It's just a B-level pheromone.
The people below were whispering.
"I really miss the years ago when pheromones could still be sold officially. At that time, grade A pheromones were only 5 million per bottle."
"You know that was a few years ago. Now we're lucky to have pheromones."
"Like Professor Lou who died last time, he wasn't any richer than us! He died anyway just because he didn't have pheromones."
"He shouted five million the second time. That's too exciting."
"It's a pity that live streaming is not allowed here. I also want to give netizens a little shock."
After the number reaches five million, it has completely become a game for the rich.
"Five and a half million."
"Five million eight hundred thousand."
"Six million."
The auctioneer said, "Six million. Six million once, six million twice, six million three times. Congratulations to Mr. Li, number 79, for winning this B-level pheromone.
There was a loud thud.
The sound of a hammer falling was heard.
Mr. No. 79 happily received a bottle of B-level pheromone.
Everyone is guessing the identity of this person.
Number 79 was escorted away to check out. The others were still reluctant to leave, saying they'd bid too high today and it would be a bummer if it failed to sell. But soon, the page on the Jialuo Auction House showed the auction was a success.
The others immediately lost interest and got up and left.
There was a crowd of people just now. After the pheromones were taken away, only two or three kittens were left in the venue.
Today's jewelry exhibition is just a regular exhibit.
The people below just called out a few prices and won the bid.
Many people found a bargain, but they were not very interested because they didn't get the one they wanted the most.
The dark web side watched the auction the entire time, deducting 10% of the auction commission and then settling a 200,000 yuan dark web commission.
The remaining 5.2 million was all transferred into Shen Ning's account.
The mysterious man No. 79 just bought 6 million B pheromones.
There was already a distinguished guest stopping his car, wanting to buy it.
The big guys really don't want to miss any bottle of pheromones.
Even if it is level B, it can be of great use at critical moments.
