The old man in front of him looked like a country bumpkin, but when he made eye contact with him, the burly man felt as if his whole body was being cut by a knife.
For a moment, he didn't dare to look directly at the other party's eyes.
"Did you hear that? Call all of you who have a say in this place. "
Qin Yi said to him coldly.
He didn't know why, but he didn't even have the courage to refute under the sword-like gaze.
He didn't know if he really wanted to help Qin Yi or escape the scene in a hurry, but he didn't even answer and directly turned and walked into the auction house.
After a while, the middle-aged man in green who announced the start of the auction in front of everyone came out.
"Your Excellency, what can I do for you to call me out?"
The middle-aged man in green was not as stupid as the guard. He was very polite to Qin Yi, with an eternal smile on his face, giving people a feeling of unconditional trust.
Qin Yi naturally wouldn't be fooled by this person's appearance. He looked at the man in front of him suspiciously and asked, "Do you have the power to make decisions in this auction house?"
The middle-aged man in green obviously didn't expect Qin Yi to suddenly ask such a question. He smiled and said, "I am Zhong Yun, the Great Elder of this auction house. I dare not say anything else, but I can definitely make decisions for Your Excellency."
It could be seen that his words were a counterattack to Qin Yi's doubts.
Qin Yi pretended to think for a moment, then sighed and said, "Well, I have a treasure here, and I want to put it here for auction."
Zhong Yun smiled and said, "Since Your Excellency has something to auction, why don't you take it out first and let me appraise it before making a decision."
Qin Yi still had a smile on his face, then his eyes swept around, but he didn't move at all.
Zhong Yun quickly saw through Qin Yi's intention. He immediately leaned to one side and made a "please" gesture, inviting Qin Yi and the others into the auction house.
As one of the largest auction houses in the capital city, the Zhongyu Auction House's interior was also very luxurious. Not to mention anything else, just based on the material of the stone slabs on the ground, which were made of high-quality jade, it would not be an exaggeration to say that every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
Along the way, Zhong Yun took the opportunity to observe the facial expressions of Qin Yi and others. This was an instinctive habit that he had developed as a veteran in the business world for many years.
If an ordinary person entered the auction house and saw the magnificent surroundings, they would definitely be in awe.
If that was the case, then there was no doubt that everything they had done before was just an act. In that case, there was no need for the following conversation.
Unfortunately, he did not see any change in Qin Yi's expression. Even the two burly men behind him did not reveal any expression.
"You can't judge a book by its cover."
Zhong Yun sighed in his heart. Obviously, he had a new judgment on the identity of Qin Yi and the others. "However, I can't rule out the possibility that these people are pretending to be calm, or that they simply don't know what's good. For the time being, I'll reserve my attitude and see what they have before making a decision. "
While he was thinking, he had already brought them into a small room. This room was completely sealed. Other than the small door that they had just come in through, there were no other exits, and there were not even any windows in the surroundings. However, the completely sealed space did not seem dim at all. More than a dozen night pearls embedded in the ceiling were the size of a fist, and the entire room was as bright as day.
"Everyone, this is the reception room of the highest standard in my Zhongyu Auction House. Only when discussing the auction of top treasures will people be brought here."
Zhong Yun turned around and smiled as he introduced the place to Qin Yi and the others.
He naturally had an ulterior motive for bringing them here. From these people, he simply could not see the depth of these people. This was especially true for the uncouth old man, who had a calm and unperturbed appearance from beginning to end, causing him to be momentarily unable to pinpoint an accurate position.
Generally, there were only three possibilities in this kind of situation. The first was that this old man's origin was not ordinary, and he definitely had a great treasure on him. If that was the case, then this highest level reception room was in line with the identity of these people.
As for the second situation, it was that these people were simply pretending to be big and wanted to deliberately make fun of him.
If that was the case, then bringing them here would make their crimes more serious, and their punishment would naturally be more severe.
Another possibility was that this old man did indeed have a treasure on him. However, the treasure on him might seem very good to him, but in fact, it was not as valuable as he had imagined.
If it was this, then the old man could only be regarded as not knowing what was good, and he had no intention of finding fault with him. Naturally, it was impossible to punish him.
However, with the specifications of this reception room, with Zhong Yun's ability, he could completely send himself to the highest point, using the maximum limit to squeeze the value of the old man's treasure to the minimum, and seek greater benefits from it.
Qin Yi's eyes were clear, but as if he was not aware of the intention of the opposite side, he said unhurriedly: "Before I take out the thing, I think we should discuss the auction clearly. For example, after a treasure is auctioned, how much commission do I need to pay you as the seller? "
The auction house was such an organization, they would collect their own treasures to auction, and all the income from the treasure auction would belong to the auction house itself.
Another was that someone would bring the treasure over and entrust them to auction it. After the transaction was completed, the auction house would take a portion of the transaction price as a commission.
Zhong Yun obviously did not expect that Qin Yi had already started to discuss the price with him before taking out the thing.
At this moment, Qin Yi's image in his heart had already fallen. He even began to wonder if Qin Yi was really here to find fault with him.
Fortunately, he was, after all, an experienced veteran. Although there was anger in his heart, he was still able to endure. Immediately, he smiled and said politely: "I'm sorry, our auction house has the rules of the auction house. You must first take out the treasure, and after we identify the level of the treasure, you can give us the standard of commission. "
