Chapter 468 Units Are Not Money
"It may be square, it may be round, it may be a box, or it may be a ball."
In any case, the plasticine ball right now is the thing that best fits Mo Yimo's description.
Is it true that you really want to take a picture of it?
Xu Jia squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his chin, his voice was low but penetrating: "The starting price?"
There was still a noisy scene, but because of his two words, it instantly became quiet.
"Oh?" Mo Yiyou seemed a little surprised, but the joy in his eyebrows increased a lot: "Mr. Xu is optimistic?"
Xu Jia shrugged noncommittally.
"Then, please listen clearly." Mo Yiyou laughed lightly: "The starting price unit is not money, but the limited-edition tokens that Xingding will start using today."
What unit is this?
"It's not the same as money?" Xu Jia raised his eyebrows: "I'll just exchange it."
Mo Yiyou smiled and rolled his eyes: "Well, it's easy for you to think."
She conjured a chip coin out of nowhere and pinched it between her index finger and thumb: "This can only be obtained by winning the game."
Unlike Xingding's previous classic chips, the one in Mo Yiyou's hand was bright red.
The distance is a bit far, and the patterns on it can't be seen clearly, but they can be clearly distinguished.
"Winning the game means that you can only get it if you win the bet?" Xu Jia raised his eyebrows with a somewhat uncertain expression.
"That's right." Mo Yiyou held the chips in his hand and played with them: "The starting price is [-] coins, and the minimum price increase is [-] coins each time. The higher the bid, the more people need to win."
She paused, and then added: "Also, Xingding has set a reserve price for product No. 24."
When the voice fell to the ground, the expressions of the people present were a little strange.
This auction...is not in line with common sense.
It sounds simple, but in practice it is very difficult.
What's more, all the gambling games in Xingding are ever-changing, and the guests are so strange that there is no way to guarantee 100% how many chips you will win.
If the bidding is successful, but cannot take out so many chip coins for a while, it is very likely that you will be left at the top of the star until you have enough chips before you can leave.
After all, the trading rules of Xingding cannot be compared with ordinary auction houses outside.
The chips were in Mo Yiyou's hands, tossed up and down, and then tossed up again...
Xu Jia crossed her arms in front of her chest, tapping her arms unconsciously with her fingers.
He stared at the stage, and the bright red kept jumping in his sight, as if he was luring something.
"Mr. Xu, this price is beneficial to us." Huai An said calmly from the side at this time.
"Are... sure?" Xu Jia turned his head suspiciously, and looked at him with disbelief: "At least win more than a hundred rounds, are you sure?"
A confident smile appeared on Huai An's face, he turned his head and nodded seriously: "Don't worry."
Xu Jia turned around with some uncertainty. He looked at the glass box on the stage and felt sweat dripping from the palm of his hand.
Tsk, there is still rust on my hands that hasn't been wiped clean, so it's really uncomfortable.
He put the bid card on his lap, then rubbed his hands casually, and squinted his eyes for a long time.
Finally, he held the sign and raised his hand: "120 coins."
"Oh?" Mo Yiyou's eyes lit up a little, and she glanced at the other people in the audience: "120 coins, one time."
Xu Jia put down her hands, feeling her heart beating a little faster.
He secretly looked at the backs of the crowd in front of him, thinking that no one would grab this thing from him, right?
"140 pieces." A rather young voice sounded.
Xu Jia was startled, and quickly followed the source of the sound.
I saw a figure on the left column in the second row, who seemed to be wearing a white suit, and was holding the sign in his hand high.
"Is there still someone robbing this thing?" Xu Jia looked at Huai An wonderingly: "What's the use?"
Huai An shook his head: "Eldest young master... the boss himself doesn't know very well."
Then bid a ghost!
Xu Jia really didn't understand, what effect could that weirdly shaped plasticine ball have?
What does it have to do with Lao Tao's disappearance?
"Mr. Xu, please bid." Huai An reminded in a low voice.
Xu Jia was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the auction was not over yet.
So he hurriedly raised the sign in his hand: "160!"
Mo Yiyou stood on the stage with an undisguised smile on his lips.
"180 pieces." Immediately after the scene sounded, it was the young voice from the second row!
Xu Jia raised his eyebrows. He really wanted to see what this person looked like. He raised the price so high that it would kill him!
But time was running out, so in desperation he could only continue to raise the placard: "Two hundred!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, except for the bidder in the second row, everyone in the audience turned their attention to Xu Jia.
Xu Jia had no fear on his face, smiled very naturally, and slowly put down the sign.
Inwardly, it yelled that it was not good.
Two hundred pieces!More than double the starting price!
Xu Jia glanced at Huai An, and found that the other party's expression was calm, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Two hundred pieces, the second time." Mo Yiyou's voice was not a soft female voice, but a little deep and alienated.
"240 pieces." A young voice from the second row sounded, causing the audience to exclaim.
Increase the price by forty pieces at a time?
Xu Jia's eyes widened, and he felt that his arms were a bit heavy.
If the bidding unit is money, he doesn't need to worry about the high price.
But if it's something else...he has to think about it carefully.
Especially since this is an event hosted by Xingding, if something goes wrong, they may step into the abyss one step at a time, and it is impossible to save it.
Although Lao Tao's whereabouts are now clear, no one dares to rescue him rashly because they are jealous of the unknown power behind Xingding.
After all, the opponent he is facing now is not an ordinary person in an ordinary business war.
In addition, Mo Yimo himself is not sure about the nature of this auction item.
So this seems like a dead-end adventure.
"240 pieces, the second time." Mo Yiyou played with the small gavel, and glanced at Xu Jia with a vague look, as if he was waiting for something.
Xu Jia frowned slightly, as if unable to make up her mind.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yiyou suddenly said: "The reserve price has not been reached, and the transaction is not established.
More than 200 pieces are not enough for the reserve price?
There was a direct explosion on the spot, and everyone discussed in low voices what the reserve price would be.
"Mr. Xu?" Seeing no response from the people around him, Huai An couldn't help calling again: "It's time to bid."
Xu Jia gripped the auction board tightly. He was full of hesitation and couldn't lift it up happily.
However, when he watched Mo Yiyou slowly raise the gavel, when he was about to drop it, he suddenly raised the sign: "Three hundred!"
The exclamation of the scene rang out again.
Even Huai An, who was at the side, had a bit of a surprised expression: "An increase of forty?"
Xu Jia slowly put down the sign, staring straight at the stage, her body motionless.
He felt that he must be crazy, or be possessed.
How did you come up with such a high price in an instant?
"Mr. Xu is really a decisive person." Huai An continued to sigh: "I thought it would take two more rounds."
"Huh—" Xu Jia let out a long breath, and turned his gaze to the figure in the second row.
My friend, don't bid any more!
Mo Yiyou looked around the audience with a smile: "Three hundred coins, the first time."
The scene became a little noisy, and everyone was watching the second row.
"Three hundred pieces, the second time." The corners of Mo Yiyou's mouth curled up a little, as if he saw something interesting and couldn't hold back at all.
Xu Jia looked at the stage expressionlessly, looking very calm, but in fact, he was already sweating in his heart.
The white figure in the second row still hasn't moved.
Then, we can only see whether the reserve price of Xingding can be reached.
"Deal!" Mo Yiyou's voice fell to the ground, and the gavel fell steadily.
Xu Jia's eyes widened, and at the same time, it seemed that his body was drained of strength in an instant.
He closed his eyes hard and leaned his whole body back on the chair.
"Mr. Xu, you did a good job." Huai An also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "The things are finally in hand."
"Not necessarily?" Xu Jia opened his eyes, and said helplessly, "You can get so many...uh, chips?"
Huaian grinned, and nodded seriously: "You can rest assured."
At this time, the host's voice sounded: "The time limit for payment is before noon tomorrow. Don't forget, regular customers."
Tomorrow afternoon?Time is so short?
Xu Jia couldn't help but glance at Huai An again: "Are you sure?"
Huai'an smiled helplessly and nodded again: "Sure."
Then he yawned, returning to his previous languid sleepiness.
This look really makes people uneasy.
Xu Jia couldn't help complaining secretly in her heart, but suddenly felt an unkind gaze.
He turned his head and looked, just in time to meet the gaze of the white suit in the second row.
Looks like he's just a kid?
The smile on Matthew's face was still bright and bright, and he couldn't see the terrible thoughts in his heart at all.
He looked at Xu Jia who looked a bit astonished in the distance, and a calculating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But before he could think about anything else, he felt someone approaching beside him.
He turned his head and saw a red bow in front of him... Well, it was Mo Yiyou.
"What's the matter, miss?" Matthew asked with a smile, still playing with the piece of paper in his hand.
The creases on the piece of paper were obvious, and it was a little tattered. It seemed that it had been held in the hand for too long.
"What's your relationship with the Xu family?" Mo Yiyou's eyes froze on the piece of paper for a second, then lifted and fell on Matthew's face.
"Old acquaintance." Matthew grinned, with a meaningful smile.
"Since we all know each other, why did you raise the price on purpose?" Mo Yiyou was still holding bright red chips in his hand: "I'm very happy now?"
"Miss saw it." Matthew nodded unabashedly: "Yes."
