Chapter 9

Cao Ke didn't disturb the middle-aged people's research on mobile phones. He just picked up the teapot on the tea table and poured a bowl of green tea for himself. He tasted it slowly.

After a long time, the middle-aged man excitedly put down his mobile phone and looked up at Cao Ke. He said eagerly, "I don't know what the name of this... This thing is?"

Cao Ke put down his cup gracefully and said, "it's called a mobile phone."

"Cell phone?" The middle-aged man was stunned, then said with a smile: "this name is quite appropriate. So, how much do you plan to mark the base price of your mobile phone? "

Cao Ke sniffed and said with a noncommittal smile: "according to Mr. Yi, how much is my mobile phone worth?"

It's Cao Ke who doesn't want to set his own price. It's Cao Ke who doesn't know much about the value of money in the world. Although he had been explained by Hongxiu yesterday, the simple way of Hongxiu's explanation can only let Cao Ke know that 80000 gold coins are not a small amount, but it can't let Cao Ke establish a value system thoroughly, completely, clearly and clearly. Therefore, at this time, Cao kecai had to give the right of pricing mobile phones to middle-aged people.

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "in my opinion, although the function of this mobile phone is very powerful, it's only a tool for entertainment. Its practicability can't be compared with those things that are helpful to cultivation... So if I bid, I will bid the bottom price of this mobile phone at 100000 gold coins, What do you think, young master? " With that, the middle-aged man carefully looked at Cao Ke and observed his expression.

"100000?..." Cao Ke pondered slightly, then nodded and said, "well, 100000 is 100000. Anyway, this is a reserve price. If someone really likes my mobile phone, he will raise the price."

The middle-aged man saw that Cao Ke agreed to his offer, and immediately secretly took a long breath. In fact, the reserve price of the middle-aged people is not generous. In our world, mobile phones are just daily necessities. However, in their world, Cao Ke's mobile phone is absolutely the only one in the world. People in their world can't imagine whether it's a photo taking function or a video recording function.

Even if, as the middle-aged people say, this mobile phone can only be used as entertainment, but for the world, the value of this mobile phone is definitely more than 100000 gold coins. In other words, mobile phones are to the world just as antiques are to our world. Apart from some archaeological values, the only function of antiques is to collect them. The value of antiques depends on the rarity of the antiques, not on their functions. However, who dares to say that antiques are worthless?

Therefore, the middle-aged man himself was quite nervous when he offered the reserve price of 100000 yuan. He was afraid that Cao Ke would not agree with him. In a rage, he would not auction the mobile phone here. In this way, his auction house would lose a lot of revenue.

However, if we really ask him to give a reserve price in good conscience, he will not. The number of VIP members of the auction house is strictly controlled by the owner of the auction house because they can enjoy huge benefits. There is a clear limit on the number of VIP members every year. If he really sets a reserve price for the mobile phone with his conscience, the amount of money that Cao Ke can get at the end of the auction is likely to exceed one million. That is to say, Cao Ke can be promoted to become a VIP customer of their auction house and enjoy their discount, which is unacceptable to middle-aged people.

Although Cao Ke is the third son of the Cao family of the three major families in Wanghai City, in the past, Cao Ke mainly mixed up with the ignorant dandies of Bai family, and had no contact with the auction house. Even if the auction house knew that Wanghai city had Cao family, it had never met him.

In this way, a middle-aged man's illusion is created. In his heart, he thinks that the young man in front of him is just taking advantage of a chance to get a treasure like a mobile phone and sell it to him for two dollars. In the future, he will never appear in front of him again. Therefore, the middle-aged people really don't want to be so easily occupied by Cao Ke.

It is because of the above reasons that middle-aged people have to give up higher profits and try their best to lower the reserve price of mobile phones.

However, how can Cao Ke, a gangster, think clearly about what happened? Anyway, the purpose of his coming here is to sell these things he brought when he crossed the river to collect 80000 gold coins to buy medicine. Since the reserve price given by the middle-aged man has met his requirements, what else can he disagree with?

Between the two sentences, Cao Ke and the middle-aged people set the base price of the mobile phone, which made the middle-aged people very excited: "young man, please quickly introduce the remaining two things."

Cao Ke nodded, picked up the five yuan package of cheap cigarettes, said: "this thing, called cigarettes, its role is to make people who smoke it feel very comfortable."

"Suck?" The middle-aged man looked at the cigarette in Cao Ke's hand doubtfully: "is this thing for smoking?"

Cao Ke nodded, picked up the lighter on the tea table at random, pressed it gently, lit the fire, and wanted to show the middle-aged man how to smoke.

However, when the middle-aged man saw that the lighter in Cao Ke's hand lit a tiny flame, he was shocked. Even the tea standing behind Cao Ke could not help but step back.

"Fire!..." The middle-aged man couldn't help but raise his hand, pointed to the lighter and said, "how can you light the fire so easily?"

Cao Ke's face was full of doubts and said, "what's wrong with this..."

Red sleeve quickly bent down, attached to Cao Ke's ear and said: "young master Ke, we usually use the sparks produced by the mutual percussion of flints to make a fire. Even the simplest way is to shake the expensive folding folds several times. There is no time to light a fire as easily as you do..."

Cao Ke listened to the explanation of tea, just suddenly oh.

After Cao Ke demonstrated how to smoke cigarettes and taught the middle-aged people to feel the feeling of smoking, the middle-aged people said solemnly: "young man, in my opinion, your so-called cigarettes are quite troublesome for people who can't smoke, and people who haven't smoked don't understand them, so they probably won't be accepted by the public, It's really amazing that you are called a lighter... "

After thinking about it for a while, the middle-aged man said, "I don't think it's better for us to do this? Take your cigarette lighter as the main auction item, and take this box of cigarettes as the accessory of the cigarette lighter. Then, we will set a total price for them. In this way, we will not be afraid that your cigarette box will be sold because no one knows the goods. "

Cao Ke nodded: "OK, just do what you say. What's the base price for this lighter and this pack of cigarettes? "

The middle-aged man replied, "the real value of these two things lies in their rarity. Compared with the previous mobile phone, their practicability is greatly reduced. But as a collection, they still have considerable value. After all, they are the only ones in the world... I think, how about setting their total price at 10000 gold coins?"

Cao Ke agreed with a nod: "no problem."

Seeing that Cao Ke didn't have any objection, the middle-aged man immediately put away the mobile phone and other things on the tea table, and then issued a receipt with the reserve price to Cao Ke. Then, the middle-aged man stopped, said hello and ran out in a hurry.

After a while, outside Cao Ke's VIP room, he thought of a soft knock on the door.

"Come in, please." Red sleeves should be the way. When the door opened, a beautiful waitress came in. First, she bowed deeply to Cao Ke, who was leaning on the sofa, and then said respectfully, "young master, our appraiser has already prepared for the afternoon auction of the things you want to auction. Now, you can stay in this VIP room and wait for the afternoon auction to start, or, You can also leave here first to do other things. In a word, this VIP room will be used by you before the end of today's auction. "

Zoke nodded noncommittally. The maid then said, "if you don't leave at noon, please let me know in advance so that I can prepare lunch for you."

"Don't worry. We'll leave soon and come back in the afternoon."

"All right." The maid answered, bowed to TSOK again, and turned away.

Cao Ke picked up the cup on the tea table and drank the rest of the tea. Then he stood up and waved to the tea: "tea, let's go."

Tea should be a light, with Cao Ke behind, out of the room, downstairs, through the small square, came to the door of the auction house.

Just as they stepped out of the gate, a strange voice rang on their left: "yo! Who was I then? Isn't this young master Cao San? Yes? Instead of gambling today, I came to visit the auction house? "

Cao Ke frowned and followed his reputation. He saw a handsome young man, with two valiant men, coming from the left side of the main road in front of the gate to his own direction.

"Who is this?" Cao Ke curled his mouth and asked in a low voice to the tea behind him.

Red sleeve stick in Cao Ke's ear, said: "this person's name is Liu long, is Liu's seven childe."

"The Liu family?" After listening to Hong Xiu's words, Cao Ke suddenly remembered that when he saw Mr. Cao yesterday, Mr. Cao seemed to have mentioned the Liu family, and also said that there was a talent for cultivation in the Liu family.

"Is this Liu family one of the three big families?" Cao Ke continues to say to the tea.

Red sleeve nodded: "yes, different from the white family of the other three families, the Liu family is against the Cao family everywhere. This time, young master Ke, you must be careful when you meet the seventh young master Liu."

Cao Ke's eyes flashed and snorted.
