Feel the Heat
Profits are exciting, and legal huge profits are even more exciting.
By buying and selling, you can make profits of tens of thousands. In the beginning, some people may be able to stick to their stance and not participate, but when everyone starts to go crazy for profit, some people's stance will gradually begin to waver.
Watching other people eat meat is not a pleasant thing. There are two possibilities for people to walk into a strange restaurant. The first possibility is that the aroma wafting from the restaurant is irresistible, and the second possibility is that the food looks tempting in the advertisements pasted on the glass windows of the restaurant.
The same goes for interests, it can be hard to watch others join in this Wealth Feast, because they will convince themselves that they can do the same thing if they just reach out.
The price continued to rise, which heated up the atmosphere at the scene. In the end, the price of this apartment stayed at 27,750 yuan, which was 2,000 yuan more than Lin Qi expected. He thought that the maximum price could reach around 25,000 yuan, which was the limit.
After all, the audience of this Secondhand Goods Auction is not Middle Class, who can easily take out a sum of money. Ninety-nine percent of the people here are poor. Some people may not even have two thousand yuan in savings, but they gave Lin Qi a surprise.
What was even more surprising was Wood. He took the initiative to leave his place and ran to Richard with his face flushed. The two lowered their heads and talked for a while. Richard even gave him a fist, then hugged his neck and ruffled his hair fiercely.
Wood, a promising young man, grinned. He and Richard seemed to have a good relationship.
Lin Qi said he would split the profit of 6,720 yuan in half with him. In other words, Wood just sat here shouting a few words with Mike and earned himself 3,360 yuan. With some previous dividends, his income in one day has exceeded his undercover salary for half a year.
This is just one auction meeting in a month. There will be four such auction meetings every month. He does not dare to expect that every one will be so lucky, but he believes that even if it is worse, it will still be a fraction.
It turns out that what Richard said is true. Now he just wants to share his joy with everyone and show off by the way.
Finally, he looked up and saw Lin Qi. His excited expression calmed down slightly. He also realized that he was not a salesman, but an undercover agent.
This made his emotions begin to subside, and he bowed slightly to Lin Qi, who smiled encouragingly in return.
During this period of time, Ferral was also chatting with Lin Qi. When he knew that Lin Qi had promised these salesmen that the products on the profit line would share half of the profits with them, he couldn't believe his ears.
"That young man looks very happy. Can you tell me how much money he made from this transaction?" Ferral also noticed Wood. Looking at the young man's appearance, he felt curious.
Lin Qi glanced at him and said with a smile, "More than three thousand yuan..."
"Hiss...", Ferral took a breath, more than three thousand yuan for an order, "Don't you think you gave him too much?", he said and introduced himself, "I mean if you give him three to five hundred, he will be grateful for your generosity. Why do you have to give so much?"
This is not a mere talk, it is Ferral's most real thought. If he wants to maintain long-term cooperation with Lin Qi, he must understand what kind of person Lin Qi is.
This is a good opportunity to enhance mutual understanding, and Lin Qi will not hide it, "I once met a person, and he told me that when you want to keep all the benefits in your own hands, even your brother will leave you."
He slowly turned his head and looked at Ferral beside him. Their eyes met in the air. Lin Qi's eyes had no fluctuations and flashes, and were as steady as a rock. "But if you are willing to share your success with others, everyone will treat you as their biological brother!"
"When wealth is gathered in your hands, others will leave you because they cannot satisfy their interests, but when you are willing to share this wealth equally with them, they will explode with unprecedented motivation."
"We are not superiors and subordinates, we are partners!"
If Wood hears this sentence, he will exclaim again. It turns out that Richard is not bragging Pussy. In fact, Lin Qi still has a lot to say.
This is a relatively complex game, and it is difficult for people who join it to leave. They continue to create myths of wealth, allowing them to return to ordinary lives. Just look at Richard.
He would rather lie on the bed at home and sleep than go out to find an ordinary job. Once these people leave Lin Qi, they will lose their enthusiasm for life. Only here, under the shade of Lin Qi, can they shine with the miracle of life.
Moreover, Lin Qi has more tricks and ways of playing waiting for them.
After looking away, Lin Qi said pointedly, "Actually, looking at it another way, you can also say that I took away the wealth they earned. This is relative."
"I am a generous man, Mr. Counselor, and you will understand me later."
A house and a profit of several thousand dollars on paper were enough to heat up the entire scene. The following items were mainly second-hand cars and some large items.
The prices of these things are not cheap. One of the second-hand washing machines sold for 3,999 yuan was actually sold for a high price of 2,050 yuan.
This thing was brought back from Mr. Fox's warehouse by Lin Qi. I didn't expect it to sell so much.
In fact, people who buy are not fools. Laundries are a part of people's lives in middle- and lower-class neighborhoods. In the past, you could wash all the clothes for 25 cents, but since laundries charge by the pound, you can only wash a few pieces for 25 cents.
If the person who buys this guy commercializes it and does all his laundry for fifty cents, his neighbors will definitely be happy to be friends with him.
It was Richard who personally brokered this deal. He has a talent that is different from others and a keen sense of smell. This is a young man that Lin Qi admires even more.
In the second stage of the auction, the price of the goods was probably maintained between 50% and 70% of the original price. This is an unreasonable price, but the transaction prices at trade fairs and auctions are never reasonable.
As long as there is competition and the atmosphere is good enough, people will show a side they don't even know they have.
After a ten-minute break, the third phase of the auction began. The host continued to maintain his excitement and introduced the third phase of the auction.
If a normal auction sets a minimum price and then keeps increasing it, with the higher bidder winning, then the third stage is the opposite.
The starting price of each item is the original price in the store, but during the process, the host will continue to lower the price. Yes, it is to reduce the price until someone is tempted to raise their hand.
This is still a rush shot, and there is no quotation by oneself. In the words of the host, it must be fast, accurate, and without hesitation.
Maybe in just a blink of an eye, the opportunity is gone.
"The first item we are bidding on in the third phase is a set of Ivory Sterling Silver Tableware. Let our staff show it..." Soon people saw these things, including several enlarged promotional posters, which were enough for everyone in the last row to see these things.
"The price of this set of tableware in the store is 3,899 yuan. When your friends and relatives come to your home, if you take out such a set of tableware, everyone will definitely look jealous..."
After preaching about the awesome Pussy who can successfully reach the pinnacle of life as long as he uses this set of Ivory Sterling Silver Tableware, the host started bidding like no one has ever experienced before.
"Three thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, does anyone raise their hand?"
"Thirty-six hundred yuan, three hundred yuan cut off in one go. Does anyone raise their hands?"
"Very good. It seems that everyone has understood this bidding method. Three thousand four hundred yuan..."
"Three thousand one hundred and fifty yuan!"
"Two thousand nine hundred and eighty yuan..."
As the price got lower and lower, the originally quiet crowd began to stir. Things that cost close to 4,000 yuan were shouted down to 2,200 yuan. Although the price was still a bit high, some people had completely understood it.
Sometimes people's ideas are very simple. As long as everyone refrains from raising their hands, in the end this thing is only worth one dollar.
But if people could be that simple, this reduced-price bidding method would not be placed in the third stage by Lin Qi.
Just when the host shouted out 1,980 yuan, someone suddenly raised their hands, and then more people raised their hands, but it was too late.
"Congratulations to this gentleman, the brand new Ivory Sterling Silver Tableware suit worth 3,899 yuan was brought home for only 1,980 yuan!"
