Chapter 230: The Auction House

The auction house in the black market does not have a real boss, because all major forces are shareholders of the auction house, and no one has the qualifications and strength to be their boss.

But this auction house cannot be managed without someone, so the general meeting of shareholders specially set up three management positions, who are fully responsible for the management of the auction house, and shareholders cannot directly intervene.

In this way, fairness and justice can be achieved to the greatest extent. Even an extraordinary giant like the Church of the Holy Church cannot bypass the managers appointed by the shareholders' meeting and intercept the items entrusted to the auction house.

Now, the old man in front of Luo Ning is one of the three managers of the auction house, Albert who is known as an appraiser!

As one of the managers of the auction house, Albert himself is also a second-tier elite spellcaster, with good strength and status.

It is the best solution for him to entertain Luo Ning, which can not only give enough face to Luo Ning, a third-order transcendent, but also not weaken the power of the auction house and lose the right to speak in the transaction.

"ammunition?"

Albert lowered his head, cast his eyes on the opened weapon box, and then said, "I need to check the samples first."

"no problem!"

Hearing this, Luo Ning simply took out three boxes of bullets and five grenade arrows from the weapon box, placed them in front of Albert, and said, "There are three types of bullets, and five types of grenade arrows."

Albert nodded, picked up a grenade arrow with his left hand, and slowly brushed over the arrow with his right hand, followed by a silver-white light shining, which was the phenomenon of the activation of his core spell insight.

Albert's title of "appraiser" was not something that was touted by others, but the recognition that he gained by using his own ability.

Ordinary people may have a certain degree of misunderstanding about spellcasters, thinking that so-called mages are the kind of characters who are weak and can only cast spells from a long distance, but will kill people when they get close.

This is a wrong and absurd idea. As an aristocratic profession in the extraordinary world, the power of a spellcaster is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. This kind of power is comprehensive and has almost no weaknesses to speak of.

They are like cultivators in the eastern world, who have reached a state of perfection in the use of spells. There are corresponding spells to deal with almost every situation and situation.

Therefore, there is a saying in the extraordinary world that a true spellcaster will have no shortcomings. They are knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and powerful.

No matter what situation or enemy they face, the caster can face it calmly and win the final victory.

Although these words are somewhat exaggerated, it also shows the power of the caster from the side.

Albert is such a spellcaster. The core spell he cultivates is called insight, which is a predictive spell that can trace the past, predict the future, and gain insight into reality.

In battle, this spell can help Albert preemptively, take the initiative, spy on opponents, gain insight into weaknesses, and make more targeted and deadly attacks.

Before joining the black market and becoming the manager of the auction house, Albert used this spell to gain the title of "Prophet" in the extraordinary world, which is evident.

After joining the auction house, Albert seldom fights with people anymore, and this spell has also been transferred to item identification, endowing him with the ability of "golden eyes".

Basically, he was able to identify the material and use of the second-tier and lower-tier items through the insight technique, and determine the effect and power. Even some third-tier items, he could find out a scale claw.

Not only that, if he advances to the third level, he can even use this insight technique to spy out the structural principles of extraordinary items, deduce and copy them, and master the production technology of this extraordinary item.

Of course, this kind of thing is expressly prohibited, because it involves a patent issue.

No one is willing to crack and copy their extraordinary technology for others, let alone using spells, which is close to cheating.

Therefore, a mage like Albert who practiced the insight technique rarely did this kind of thing, at least not on the surface, otherwise his reputation would have been ruined long ago, and he would not be able to secure his position as a manager.

After using the insight technique, Albert quickly got the result.

"A first-order extraordinary item, an arrow-shaped explosive, which can release a very lethal attack wave of holy flames, and has dual damage effects of sacred and flame."

Albert put down the holy flame grenade arrow made of holy water and dragon flame flower, nodded to Luo Ning, and said with a smile: "Outstanding performance, excellent quality, it is a boutique among the first-order extraordinary items!"

After all, he picked up the other grenade arrows and used the insight technique to detect them.

"A first-order extraordinary item, an arrow-shaped explosive, can release a shock wave with the ability to frost, and its strength is the middle level of the second-order. Targets with constitutions lower than this strength will be affected by frost."

"A first-order extraordinary item, an arrow-shaped explosive, can release a shock wave with a shock effect, and its strength is at the second-order high level. Targets with a physique lower than this strength will be affected by the shock."

"A first-order extraordinary item..."

The grenade arrows made by Luo Ning are divided into five types according to their effects, namely Holy Flame Grenade Arrows, Frost Grenade Arrows, Shock Grenade Arrows, Impact Grenade Arrows, and Holy Light Grenade Arrows.

Compared with grenade arrows, although the number of bullets is more, the types are nearly half less. There are only three types in total, namely explosive bombs, frost bombs, and light mine bombs.

Soon, Albert confirmed the effects of these ammunition through the insight technique, nodded to Luo Ning and said, "It can be said that they are all high-quality goods, but I don't know how much Luo Ning is going to shoot now?"

Luo Ning smiled and said: "One hundred grenade arrows and five hundred bullets, including six holy flame grenade arrows, twenty-five frost grenade arrows, twenty-three each for concussion, shock, and holy light, and two explosive bullets. 100 rounds, 150 rounds each for frost, light and mine."

"Um……"

Albert pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you planning to bundle the auction, sir?"

"good!"

Luo Ning nodded and said, "What price is the auction house going to give?"

Auction houses will basically set a reserve price for auction items. This reserve price is usually determined through negotiation between the auction house and the auctioneer.

Otherwise, if you just bring something here, you can open your mouth and it will be an ancient artifact. The auction reserve price is one billion yuan. Do you want the reputation of the auction house?

Although it wasn't the first time for Luo Ning to come to the black market, it was his first time to participate in the auction of this trading conference, so he didn't know what reserve price to ask, so he could only kick the ball to Albert.

Albert thought about it for a while, and then said, "Sir, I suggest you auction the grenade arrows and bullets separately. The grenade arrows are priced at 15 million, and the bullets are priced at 10 million."

"Um……"

Luo Ning groaned, and then asked, "Can this be sold?"

As soon as he heard this, he knew that he was a layman, and he lacked confidence. If it were someone else, Albert would definitely have to kill him severely, and even directly buy this batch of ammunition, and then transfer it to the auction at the meeting. First release (www) m/.x81zw./com/

But now it is not someone else, but Luo Ning, who just killed the blood god Vlad in Atlanta not long ago.

Now the major forces judge his strength as the third-order high to the third-order limit, and there is even the possibility of touching the fourth-order and becoming a legend.

In the face of such customers, even if Albert had a hundred guts, he would not dare to slaughter them.

Not to mention him, even the auction house is ready to give Luo Ning a profit. As long as his request is not excessive and does not touch the bottom line of the auction house, let's bleed a little blood.

For this reason, Albert immediately gave a considerate explanation to Luo Ning's question: "You can rest assured that at this year's auction, this kind of thing is an absolute bestseller, and there is absolutely no possibility of passing the auction. , even if unfortunately the auction fails, our auction house is willing to buy it."

Albert's words are full of confidence, because it is a fact. The coming of the apocalypse is already an open secret, but any transcendent with a little energy and a little channel knows that a terrible change will sweep the entire world.

This is like a war. When the war is raging, what is the most valuable?

Definitely a weapon!

Weapons are needed in all aspects, arm yourself, kill enemies, and stand firm in this changing world pattern.

Therefore, doing the arms business at this time is definitely a matter of making a profit and not losing money.

This is especially true for Luo Ning's batch of ammunition supplies. Even if the auction fails unfortunately, the black market can buy them at a reserve price, and then break them up and sell them to make a profit.

Although Luo Ning is not from the black market, he is also aware of the twists and turns here. Seeing what Albert said, he stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "I want to be in the front row for the auction, and give me a few more tickets for the auction. tickets."

Not everyone can participate in the auction in the auction house. Otherwise, if all cats and dogs come in to bid, wouldn't it be a mess?

Therefore, if you want to participate in the auction, you must meet one of the conditions such as money, rights, and strength.

Needless to say, every entrant must be verified by the black market auction house and provide proof of funds of more than 10 million U.S. dollars before they can participate in the auction.

The power and strength are even simpler. The middle and high-level leaders of the major forces, as well as second-tier elite-level transcendents, are eligible to enter the auction.

Luo Ning is definitely fine, but he is not alone, so he has to get an admission ticket for Serena and Christine, so as not to have to go through any formalities later.

When Luo Ning entered the black market, the auction house received the news, so Albert had already prepared, and directly pushed a gold card in front of Luo Ning.

"This is the black market gold card given to you by the board of directors. With this gold card, you can bring people into the auction venue at will, and you can get a 10% discount when trading with black market shops!"

"Oh?"

Looking at Jin Ka in front of him, Luo Ning said with a smile, "It's rare to see you guys being so generous."

Albert smiled slightly and said: "The strong should naturally enjoy the treatment of the strong. This is just a little respect for you from the board of directors. I hope we can have more pleasant cooperation in the future."

Regarding this, Luo Ning was noncommittal, but said with a chuckle: "Then I will accept it bluntly."

Albert nodded and said, "This is our honor!"

"Okay, let's take stock of things. Before the auction starts, I still want to go shopping."

Ronin accepted the gold card, and without further ado, he took out all the grenade arrows and bullets from the weapon box and placed them in front of Albert.

Albert glanced at him, then nodded, and said, "The quantity is all right, there is no problem, just leave the rest of the matter to us, and you can go about your own business."

"very good!"

Luo Ning put away the weapon box, turned around and was about to leave, but then he thought of something, and asked back, "I almost forgot to ask, how much is the commission for your auction?"

Albert smiled and said, "You hold the gold card given by the board of directors, so we don't charge any fees for the first auction service, and we will charge a commission of 5% of the total price in the future."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Luo Ning also became interested and asked, "If there is no gold card, how much is the normal commission?"

Albert still smiled, and replied: "About 20% to 30%, depending on the customer's level, it can be reduced as appropriate."

"Hey!"

Although he was mentally prepared, Luo Ning couldn't help sighing after hearing what he said: "Sure enough, you guys will make money."

Commission is the main way for the auction house to make profits. After the auction is successful, the auction house will charge a certain percentage of commission based on the auction transaction price. The normal rate is 5%, and no higher than 10%.

But the black market is obviously not in this category. They start with 20%, and they can even reach 30%.

That is to say, if the transaction price of an auction item is 1 million, they will draw a commission of 200,000 to 300,000, and it will be drawn in both directions. Not only the seller will pay, but also the buyer.

50% of the commission, what a huge profit, what kind of arms dealers, what kind of drug dealers, it is not worth mentioning in front of them.

Of course, if the auctioneer's status is higher and the strength is stronger, the auction house will also lower the commission a little, so as not to arouse public anger, especially the public anger of high-level extraordinary people.

Regarding Luo Ning's exclamation, Albert just smiled and said: "The commission of the auction house is indeed a bit high, but there is no way to do it. To operate such a large black market, you have to find a way to maintain it."

Luo Ning nodded and said with a smile, "That's right... um!"

Before the words were finished, Luo Ning's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he picked up the weapon box and rushed out of the auction house.

"This... Mr. Luo Ning!"

Seeing this, Albert was also shocked. Looking at Luo Ning rushing out of the auction house, he quickly picked up the phone on the counter and said, "There is something wrong here, please notify the board of directors immediately, and I will check the situation."

After all, without waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to answer, he dropped the microphone and chased outside.

Putting Albert's reaction aside, Ronin rushed out of the auction house carrying the weapon box, and headed towards Serena and Christine following the guidance of the hunter's mark.

His fishing tactic was successful, and Serena and Christine did attract a big fish.

Unfortunately, this fish is not what Luo Ning wants, at least he doesn't want it now!
