Chapter 389 Dehai City Auction House
There was no reason for Guangmingding to refuse, and he happily handed over an invitation letter, "Guest, there will be a large-scale auction tonight, and you can enter with this invitation letter."
He is also one of the shareholders of this auction house. The pawnshop usually receives high-priced items and sells them at the auction house.
Han Yu took the invitation letter from him, took the money on the counter, and left the pawnshop.
Di Tian sneered, "Although I haven't been on the continent for a long time, the thing you took out is obviously not valuable. It can be found almost everywhere on Douluo Continent."
Han Yu shook his head, "Things are valuable because they are rare. Although glass is not valuable on Douluo Continent, it is a rare and valuable thing here. Besides, look at the bald guy, he definitely made a lot of money."
Di Tian stopped asking and asked, "What should we do next? Which auction house should we go to?"
Han Yu spread his hands, "What else? With this little money in our hands, what can we do? However, this time I will not only sell some things, but also buy a lot of things."
Going to the pawn shop to pawn is just a stepping stone. The real big deal is at the auction house.
You know, no matter how precious your things are, you can only get 70% of the price of the items at most if you sell them at the pawn shop. But if you put them at the auction house, you may get double the price.
The auction house in Dehai City is an invitation-only auction, and Han Yu has also found out before. Otherwise, why would he choose this pawnshop and let this bald man get so much profit.
After they left, the pawnshop owner Guangmingding rubbed his hands vigorously, "It seems that my luck will change today. This glass artwork can be sold at the auction for at least a thousand gold coins."
Without much hesitation, he put the item into the soul guide and ran towards the auction.
...
Through mental exploration, Han Yu quickly found the location of the auction.
Whether it is Douluo Continent or Sun Moon Continent, the richest are the soul master groups. So, as the most needed thing for soul masters, the price must be very high.
At the beginning, Han Yu collected soul bones from the nest of Huoyunhe, including several ordinary hundred-year soul bones.
No matter where the soul bones appear, they will attract countless people to fight for them. This ordinary hundred-year soul bone can be sold at a good price and will not be targeted by too many people. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The scale of the auction house in Dehai City is far smaller than that of the Tiandou auction house, and is even smaller than the exchange in Hanhai City.
But Dehai City is a big city in the Blue Moon Empire. Although the auction house is not large, it is definitely capable of digesting these hundred-year soul bones.
When they arrived at the door of the auction house, the guards quickly blocked the way of the two.
Seeing the two people dressed gorgeously, the guards' attitude became much more respectful, "Gentlemen, you need an invitation to enter the auction house. May I ask if you..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Yu handed the invitation to him.
"Please follow me, the auction will not start until the evening, please follow me to the rest area to wait. In the rest area, the auction house provides a lot of food for the distinguished guests, you can enjoy it to your heart's content"
Han Yu interrupted and said, "It's just right, I need to sell some things, please take me to the treasure appraisal office first."
The guard did not refuse, and soon, Han Yu and the others arrived at the treasure appraisal office.
"My two guests, I'm Rick. May I ask if you need to have your treasure appraised? The appraisal certificate issued by our Dehaicheng Auction House is valid throughout the continent. If you only want to issue a certificate for the treasure, you will need to pay an additional fee." The middle-aged man with a gentle appearance said.
Han Yu sat on the chair in front of him and said straight to the point: "We are here to sell things, but this thing is very valuable. It depends on whether you can afford it."
Di Tian leaned casually against the cabinet next to him. He was not Han Yu's subordinate, so there was no reason for him to follow behind him.
Rick smiled and said, "Guest, you are joking. If our Dehaicheng Auction House is not able to accept it, I'm afraid that there are not many auction houses in the entire Blue Moon Empire that are qualified."
Han Yu said nothing more. He took out three hundred-year soul bones from the soul guide and placed them flat on the table one by one.
These three soul bones are the trunk bone of a seven-hundred-year-old heavy-armored turtle, the skull of a three-hundred-year-old bamboo cobra, and the right leg bone of a nine-hundred-year-old wind demon dog.
Among these three soul bones, the best-looking one is the skull of a bamboo cobra, but the most valuable one is the trunk bone of a heavy-armored turtle.
"You are really generous. There is no such thing as true or false soul bones. Do you plan to sell them directly to the auction house or let the auction house auction them? There happens to be a large auction tonight. If we can negotiate, these three soul bones will appear in tonight's auction items."
"If you choose to sell them directly to the auction house, I can make the decision and pay you 3,000 gold coins."
Han Yu smiled faintly.
These three soul bones are tasteless in his hands, but it is a pity to throw them away. This time, taking them out is considered to be clearing the inventory.
Converted into gold soul coins on Douluo Continent, the three soul bones are worth 300,000 gold soul coins, which is already a very high price.
"I don't want so much money. If the auction house can provide the production drawings of high-level soul guides or the learning manuals of mid-level soul guides, the soul bones can be sold for the same value. In addition, if the auction house is interested in trading the above items, I have some rare goods that can also be traded."
Rick touched his nose and said with embarrassment: "Guest, this is not something I can decide. Items related to soul guides are very precious, and I have no right to decide. However, there will be related items at the auction tonight. If you are interested, you can take pictures at that time. As for these three soul bones, if the guests are willing to sell them by auction, you can stipulate that items related to soul guides should be sold first, and there may be different gains."
After thinking about it, Han Yu agreed with Rick's idea.
Next, he sold some sundries. At the auction, you don't bid randomly, you need to come up with corresponding capital. Han Yu has limited money, and it is a wise choice to sell some useless things to accumulate capital.
After leaving the treasure appraisal room, Han Yu's wallet gradually bulged.
Di Tian couldn't help asking, "What is the equivalent of the money you have now?"
"Small bourgeoisie." Han Yu responded with a smile.
He had just traded with the auction house, and he had gained more than 10,000 gold coins in total. Most of them were items that were common in Douluo Continent but rare here.
After all, the two continents are far apart, and Han Yu must have earned some travel expenses for this trip. However, most of the items were not put in the auction tonight.
Good things, the auction house will naturally sell them slowly. If too many are taken out at once, and the money brought by the guests is limited, the final transaction price will not be very ideal. Even some of the things Han Yu sold can serve as the finale of a small auction.
...
As night fell, the lights in the Dehai City auction house were bright.
Unlike the night in Douluo Continent, people can choose to go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena to watch the Soul Fighting Competition, and the various night markets in the city are dazzling. It can be said that the residents of Douluo Continent have a rich and colorful night life.
But it was different on the Sun and Moon Continent. At night, the city was pitch black, and the people didn't seem to have much nightlife except for drinking together.
As for the night auction at the Dehai City Auction House, it was only enjoyed by a small number of nobles and merchants.
As the guests continued to enter, the auction house gradually became lively.
Most of the nobles had interests in each other, and this auction was also a banquet for the nobles in disguise.
"The two brothers look unfamiliar, are they from other places?" A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked up to Han Yu and greeted him.
This man had a square face, and his gestures revealed a steady state, and he looked like a reliable guy.
Han Yu and Di Tian were essentially cross-river dragons. Such local snakes had a lot of information in the city and were the ones Han Yu needed to contact.
"My name is Han Yu. To be honest, we just entered the city recently. What's your name, sir?"
The middle-aged man said enthusiastically, "Haha, welcome to Dehai City. I am Jia Si, the president of Pujia Chamber of Commerce in Dehai City. Nice to meet you."
After a brief greeting, Han Yu found the right time to ask, "Brother Jia Si, to be honest, I came here to buy the study manual and production blueprint for soul guides. I wonder if Brother Jia Si has any connections?"
After a pause, he continued, "Brother Jia Si, don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Jia Si smiled and said, "Brother Han, you put The problem is too simple. Many families on the mainland are eager for soul guides. Once they get them, they will hold them tightly in their hands. "
"Hey~ To be honest, I came here this time to get the soul guide production manual. However, among the items temporarily added to the auction, there are soul bones. The importance of soul bones is self-evident, so I can only change my focus. "
"However, there are many people who have the same idea as me. If the soul guide production manual appears at the auction, maybe you can get it at a slightly lower price. "
Han Yu will not listen to the other party's one-sided words. The two have just met. Calling each other brothers is just a polite talk.
Jas will reveal his goal. It is very likely that he is not interested in these two items. He just wants to see himself and others fight with each other.
Thinking of this, Han Yu hurriedly ended the conversation with him.
"This guy is a very good person. He actually showed us a way. "Di Tian sneered.
Those who can become nobles or businessmen are not fools, except for the second generation of nobles who are uneducated.
Han Yu shrugged and didn't care too much.
As they talked, the two had already walked into the private room of the auction house.
Even for an invitation-only auction, there are ordinary guests. However, Han Yu had sold too many items at the auction house before, and the value of these items will be counted in his worth. Therefore, his seat is in a separate private room in the front row.
There are a total of 18 similar private rooms.
As for the remaining ordinary seats, there are more than 100 in total. It is possible that someone is playing dumb and sitting in an ordinary seat.
"By the way, do you really intend to get the soul guide learning manual by buying and selling?" Di Tian asked curiously.
Han Yu nodded.
Di Tian continued: "If I were you, I would first find out who has this thing, and then go directly to their house after dark to get it."
"No." Han Yu refused decisively, "You also heard what Jas said just now. The production drawings and learning manuals of the soul guide will most likely be hidden by the owner. It is even possible that someone will remember all of them in their minds and destroy the manuals."
"We don't know how to make a soul guide. If a fake manual is found, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
At least, the auction house dares to take it out for auction, so there will be some guarantees in terms of authenticity.
The auction house naturally has its mistakes, and they are not responsible for fakes in the auction items.
But this does not mean that the auction house will maintain a tough attitude. Every fake item sold will affect the reputation of the auction house. If this continues, the auction house will not be far from closing.
It is worth mentioning that the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect opened an auction house in the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom. Two fake items were found in the first month of its opening, and it was closed down.
The Dehai City Auction House has a long history, and Han Yu believes that there will be no fakes here.
The guests entered one after another, but the guest in Room 1 never showed up.
You know, Han Yu was only in Room 18 at the end.
"Will it be a heavyweight guy?" Han Yu couldn't help thinking.
The mayor of Dehai City was in Room 3, and Han Yu knew the identity of the guest in Room 2 through his mental perception.
This guy is a count of the Blue Silver Empire, with a prominent status. Moreover, he is the highest leader of the Ministry of Households and holds great power. It is rare to see a guy with a higher status than him.
"With your strength, as long as you want, you can overthrow any regime on Douluo Continent, including Sun Moon Continent. For these emperors, your status is completely superior to theirs." Di Tian asked in confusion.
Even as a beast god, he still doesn't have so many tricks and acts relatively straightforwardly.
Han Yu shook his head, "It's meaningless to overthrow the regime. If the empire cannot be managed well in the future, chaos will occur sooner or later. Instead of this, it's better to maintain the status quo."
He only knows how to overthrow, but can't properly handle the aftermath. Just like Tang San in the original time and space, he did destroy the Spirit Hall, but he didn't care about the social responsibility of the Spirit Hall. It's okay that the nobles were charged for awakening the spirit, and he even let the evil spirit master's affairs go.
It's okay to overthrow a force, but you must bear the consequences that may happen in the future.
Moreover, the higher the status of a person, the more social resources he has. If you can get in touch with the guest in Box No. 1, you may get a lot of things about soul guides from him.
Of course, this is premised on paying a sufficient price.
