Chapter 367 Four Buyers
"What did you say?" The bald man looked at the black man with sharp eyes.
"If you don't hear clearly, you should go to the doctor to have a look at your ears." The black man stared back without showing any weakness.
The bodyguards standing behind the two were ready to fight at the same time.
"Jack of Spades, don't worry about them, take it out now and let us have a look. Then let them fight to the death, and I will bid with this gentleman." At this time, the tall buyer said lightly .
"You're right." The Jack of Spades nodded, and directly took out the small bronze tripod.
At this time, the black man and the bald man stopped arguing, and both of them set their eyes on the small bronze tripod at the same time.
The appraiser brought by Spade Jack took out his tools and appraised the small bronze tripod.
After a while, the appraiser put away the tools and said, "It's the real thing."
Saying that, turn around and leave.
"Thanks." Said the Jack of Spades.
Several other buyers watched the appraiser leave, and no one stopped or asked anything.
Because they all know this appraiser, know that this appraiser is of extremely high level, and is recognized as one of the most trustworthy intermediaries in the industry.
He has participated in dozens of transactions, and has never missed a deal, nor has he combined buyers to cheat sellers.
So if he says it's true, it's true.
According to the rules of Spade Jack, buyers can come forward to check.
Tall people, thin people and others came to the table and looked at it for a while, and they were all very satisfied.
Except for the official informant, the other three are wealthy people who are obsessed with collecting antiques, and they are also experts in appraisal.
They all thought the small bronze tripod was real.
Coupled with the appraisal by a well-known appraiser and the reputation of the Jack of Spades, everyone is completely convinced that the bronze small tripod is genuine.
Seeing that everyone agreed that the small bronze tripod was genuine, Jack of Spades talked about the rules of the auction.
His rules are quite special, not the traditional auction form, but the way of price comparison.
The so-called price comparison is to let the participants write their own quotations on paper first, and then the one with the highest price will win.
This method seems too simple, as if it is not as beneficial to the seller as the auction method.
But in fact, price comparison has the advantages of price comparison, one is to save time, and the other is that the final selling price will not be low.
Because when everyone bids, they don't know other people's quotations. If the price is low, they worry that they won't be able to buy it.
And if the price is too high, I worry that other people's price is too low, and I will suffer too much.
Therefore, under balance, rational participants will quote the highest price they can accept.
In this way, if other people bid high, they will not regret not buying it.
Conversely, if other people bid very low, but because the price they quote is the value of the item in their minds, they will not feel that they have suffered a big loss.
Therefore, the final transaction price of the price comparison method is often the closest to the actual value of the item.
When the Jack of Spades finished talking about the rules and announced the start, the four buyers took out pens and papers and prepared to write their quotations.
The bald head was the first to write, and he quickly wrote a number on the paper, then put the paper in an envelope, and wrote his name on the envelope.
The black thin man thought for a while, and wrote his own quotation.
The tall man delayed writing, and neither did the bald informant sent by the authorities.
The bald man felt very embarrassed, because he did not expect to use this way of comparing prices.
This completely disrupted his plans.
Originally, he planned to bid first during the auction, and then withdrew from the competition to ensure that the item would not be bought by himself.
Because the money he brought was fake, only the superficial layer was real.
If the item is bought by him, it will be revealed immediately when the money is paid.
But now it is a way of comparing prices. If the bid is high, in case the small tripod belongs to him, it will be revealed immediately when the money is paid.
But the price can't be written low. If it is too low, it will appear insincere.
After much deliberation, the bald man felt that one hundred thousand insurance points should be added to the reserve price.
After writing the number, the bald man glanced at the tall man and found that the tall man had already put the note in the envelope.
Now, all four buyers have bid, and all four envelopes have been handed over to the Jack of Spades.
According to the rules, the Jack of Spades will choose the party with the highest bid to trade, and this note must be displayed for other buyers to see, so as to avoid being misunderstood by other buyers.
Jack of Spades opened an envelope, and put it aside with a blank expression.
Then, he opened the second envelope and put it aside after reading it.
When opening the third envelope, the Jack of Spades smiled suddenly, then glanced in the direction where the bald man was sitting, and put the envelope aside.
When the fourth envelope was opened, J of Spades put the fourth envelope aside, so that all the envelopes were placed side by side.
"There is only one person with the highest price, and that is..."
As he spoke, the Jack of Spades reached for the third envelope, which was the envelope handed in by the bald head.
The bald head felt that his heartbeat was about to stop!He didn't expect that his bid was actually the highest!
But I only added 10 yuan. Could it be that the other three buyers all quoted the reserve price?Is it because the base price set by the jack of spades should be the market price of the bronze tripod?
Just when the bald head was at a loss, the hand of the Jack of Spades stopped above the third envelope.
"I misremembered, it should be this." Jack of Spades said to himself, holding the fourth envelope in his hand.
"This gentleman paid 5000 million yuan, and this small bronze tripod is yours, congratulations!" Spade Jack unfolded the note in his hand.
Everyone saw the words 5000 million written on it.
This price is already far higher than the prices of the other three buyers!
The bald informant also heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that fortunately according to the rules, he would not show the quotations of other sellers.
"Spend 5000 million on this crap? Dude, you've been fooled!" The strong man stood up, shook his head, and left with his bodyguards.
"Artwork is priceless." The tall man said lightly.
"This is not a work of art, it is a cultural relic." The black left without saying a word.
"Congratulations." The bald informant smiled at the tall man, and walked out after the others.
When he was outside, the bald informant put on his sunglasses, and then walked towards his room with the bodyguards.
When he was wearing the glasses, his little finger was raised slightly upwards, and he used the pre-agreed signal to pass on the information unconsciously.
At this time, Zhang Peng, who was hiding in the dark, hurriedly whispered to Xiao Wang: "The transaction is over. The buyer is No. [-], and his name is John. Now they are probably exchanging money and goods in the room. Wait for him to Come out, you go and find an excuse to conflict with him."
"We understand." Xiao Wang nodded.
"Don't worry, this kind of thing is what we are best at." The cap followed.
