The auctioneer was very professional, emphasizing the various advantages of bluefin tuna and adding all sorts of gimmicky value. Wu An glanced around and saw that many of the owners were eager to participate in the bidding.
Wu An said, "This person is very professional."
Gao Qiangqi said, "That's right."
“Auctions are frequently held at the seafood market.”
"They can make a fortune just by taking a cut."
Gao Qiangqi wasn't referring to the auctioneer, but rather to the auction itself.
The market can do this business because it has integrated the network of contacts and channels of the entire industry; controlling resources means controlling wealth.
Gao Qiangqi's current foray into e-commerce is aimed at circumventing these established industry rules; frankly, he wants to get a share of the pie from these industry giants.
He didn't respond to Gao Qiangqi's words.
Gao Qiangqi has a lot to do. To be honest, he can't help much. He can only offer suggestions and fill in the gaps at times. As for how to proceed, the general direction is up to Gao Qiangqi himself.
Because, prior to this, he didn't really know much about the aquatic product industry.
The only thing we know is that Gao Qiangqi is a seafood tycoon.
The future holds great promise.
so.
Even though Gao Qiangqi was confused about the future and didn't know if he could succeed, Wu An was full of confidence in him. "Brother Qiang, be bold and go for it!" Wu An said.
soon.
At the end of the auction, the auctioneer revealed the reserve price.
"The auction is now starting. The starting price is 400,000 yuan, and each bid must be at least 10,000 yuan."
result.
Not a single person held up a sign.
Wu An was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
This is a bluefin tuna.
Although he felt that bluefin tuna was just so-so, although the meat itself was indeed of good quality, there was more hype involved, and the high price was mainly due to the hype from Xiao Ri Zi.
According to the information Wu An found, bluefin tuna had been auctioned off for tens of millions of yuan at Xiao Ri Zi.
It goes without saying.
How much of this is water?
in the country, bluefin tuna isn't as highly regarded.
Why?
Firstly, bluefin tuna is mainly served as sashimi, and in terms of taste, it is indeed top-notch. However, this way of eating it is actually quite limited, and at least in China, it is not popular in all coastal cities.
Secondly.
There are so many fancy dishes and delicious foods in China that even if you put bluefin tuna on the table, it might not be considered a top choice.
But even so, there shouldn't be an awkward silence.
There were quite a few bidders when the small yellow croakers were auctioned before.
Why is it that there wasn't a single bid for bluefin tuna?
Wu An looked at the restless bosses, wondering what was going on.
Seeing him looking around, Gao Qiangqi guessed what was going on and explained with a smile, "Don't panic."
"Don't worry, it won't go unsold."
"Everyone is watching and waiting to see what bids are being made before offering a price that they can secure the deal outright."
Wu An suddenly realized: "Oh, that's how it is."
Gao Qiangqi smiled and said, "This is your first time here. You'll get used to it after you come a few more times."
Wu An nodded.
This auction is good; at least he can make more money from the catch, which is a good thing for him, and for the fish, it's a worthwhile endeavor.
It's a win-win situation.
While Wu An was lost in thought, Jing He was the first to raise his sign.
500,000.
This price was announced.
It was suppressed instantly.
550,000.
560,000.
580,000.
They frequently raised their placards.
Before the auctioneer could even place an offer, another person raised their paddle.
The scene instantly became intense.
Wu An's adrenaline surged. It has to be said, this kind of scene is quite exciting. No wonder auctions always fetch higher prices as long as the item doesn't fail to sell.
Sometimes, when you're filming, you really get carried away.
Whether others get hooked is another matter, but Izuru definitely does.
soon.
The price then reached 900,000!
Half of the people have already given up bidding, and the pace of raising paddles is not as fast as before.
after all.
A price of 900,000 is somewhat inflated for a bluefin tuna.
"Ah An, this blue fin is..."
Upon hearing his elder brother Wu Ping's voice, Wu An turned around and realized that everyone had come over without him noticing. He quickly grabbed Wu Ping and said, "Yes, this bluefin is really valuable."
As he spoke, he kept winking and making faces at his older brother.
Wu Ping hesitated, "Yes...yes."
He didn't understand what Wu An meant, but he wasn't stupid either. He was smart enough to just go along with what Wu An said, and that way he wouldn't make a mistake.
Everyone was overjoyed. A bluefin prawn selling for 900,000 was something they had never dared to imagine before. Wu Yingwei sighed softly, "Judging from this, it'll probably break a million."
Li Juan said, "Amazing, truly amazing."
Ah Qing chuckled foolishly.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!"
Izuru raised his paddle again, directly increasing the price by 50,000, showing great momentum and causing several other bidders to give up.
Seeing this, Izuru snorted disdainfully, then glanced back at it.
Seeing Wu An and his group beaming with joy, he cursed inwardly what they were so happy about, wanting to open champagne before even getting the bluefin tuna.
Don't even think about it!
I'm determined to get this bluefin tuna!
Gao Qiangqi deliberately met Jing He's gaze and said, "Jing He, what are you looking at? What's the meaning of that look?"
"Warning me?"
"You want me to give up voluntarily first?"
After saying that.
They quoted a price of one million directly.
With the groundwork laid earlier, Jinghe had no idea that Gao Qiangqi was deliberately raising the price.
The market is aware of this, but they're too lazy to care.
The higher the auction price, the more commission they receive.
This is a good thing.
Jing He sneered. Gao Qiangqi acted tough, which could intimidate others, but not him. He had just overheard Gao Qiangqi's conversation with Wu An.
One million is the price these two are willing to pay.
If the price exceeds one million, the bluefin tuna is his.
Gao Qiangqi, you didn't expect that, did you?
I've seen right through you.
Jing He was secretly pleased with himself, disdaining to argue with Gao Qiangqi, and directly raised his paddle: "One million five hundred thousand!"
After saying that.
Turning back again.
After exchanging a few words with Wu An, Gao Qiangqi raised his paddle again: "One million six hundred thousand."
Izuru: "One million one hundred thousand!"
After saying that.
He raised an eyebrow, the provocation quite obvious.
The auctioneer, beaming with delight, quickly announced, "This owner has bid 1.1 million for a 456-pound bluefin tuna, the only one in this auction, and of top quality."
The scene erupted in uproar.
Everyone was whispering and discussing it.
This price far exceeds the market value of this bluefin tuna; it's a significant premium.
Those who knew Izuru all looked disdainful, knowing that Izuru had spent a fortune to acquire the bluefin tuna in order to curry favor with the common people.
"One million one hundred thousand is the first time!"
"The second time!"
Just as the auctioneer was about to bring down the hammer, Gao Qiangqi raised his paddle: "One million one hundred and eleven thousand."
Jing He sneered, seemingly noticing Gao Qiangqi's predicament, and said calmly, "One million one hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Boss Gao."
"If you're going to play, just keep up. Adding tens of thousands at a time is so boring."
Gao Qiangqi sneered: "You're provoking me?"
