Regardless of what these people say, the first sum of money went into Liu Ning's pocket. Liu Ning checked online and found that this item could sell for about 100 million yuan, but that was a clean item, the kind that could be auctioned. But this one couldn't be auctioned. Not only did it have no provenance, but it didn't even have a certificate of authenticity. Buying this item was purely based on one's own eyes, so the price had to be lower. Selling it for this price on the black market was already top-tier; any more and there wouldn't be much profit.
After buying these items, they'll have to spend money to launder them. If they can clean them up, they'll have to keep some profit for themselves. Otherwise, these items will be stuck in their hands for a while, and the tied-up capital alone will be enough to give them a hard time.
Su Daqiang was also very happy. Liu Ning had already discussed it with Su Daqiang, and Su Daqiang would take a 1% commission on everything. This was far from Su Daqiang's demand of 5%, but why was Su Daqiang still willing? It was because just now, Liu Ning opened his suitcase and let Su Daqiang take a look at the contents, which is why Su Daqiang agreed to the request.
For example, Su Daqiang earned 870,000 yuan in commission from these two jade bracelets. For him, just by promoting them here, he could earn more than 800,000 yuan, which is quite good. And this is only the first one. Who knows how much the others will be worth? He's sure to make a fortune today.
In Su Daqiang's mind, earning a few million today was already quite good. Now it seems that he was too short-sighted. The money he earned today could definitely break records, and after this auction, Su Daqiang's status in his circle of friends would also be greatly improved, which is something that money can't buy.
Don't be fooled by how these businessmen are calling him "Brother Su" now. Back when Su Daqiang was trying to curry favor with them, these people wouldn't even give him a second glance. If it weren't for Liu Ning's goods, how could they have gained this sense of vanity?
During the auction, many people saw that Liu Ning was a novice, so they became tempted and tried to bribe Su Daqiang. They said that if Su Daqiang could help them get the item, he would definitely get a reward, but Su Daqiang ignored them all.
These people thought Su Daqiang had never seen money before and could easily bring down the price of something by tens of millions by giving him a few million. They thought they could put on a show, and Liu Ning's side would be helpless. But Su Daqiang was looking at long-term benefits. What about that backpack full of things? Even if Liu Ning couldn't recognize the first item, could he guarantee that he wouldn't be able to recognize the rest? If he could recognize them, he would just leave, and there would be no money left.
"Quiet down, everyone. What we need right now is speed. Let's stop preparing here and start the auction for the second item. This item is material from a ferocious beast, the skin of a giant python. As for its value, you can all appraise it yourselves. The starting price is 18 million."
Su Daqiang and Liu Ning didn't know much about the materials used to make these ferocious beasts, but neither of them was afraid of being taken advantage of, because there were dozens of merchants here who would definitely bid whatever they wanted. The price of 18 million was low enough that it immediately attracted a large crowd of people.
"32 million, is there anyone who earns more than me?"
An elderly man in white called out the price, and most of the people around sat down. Liu Ning and Su Daqiang exchanged glances. This price should be considered the right price. Judging from the expressions of the crowd, even if there was still a profit, there probably wouldn't be much left. Su Daqiang was about to bring down the gavel when another person stood up.
"This is my final bid, 35 million. If anyone bids higher, they can take it."
A young man sitting in the back row stood up. His customer was asking for this item and had offered 38 million. Under normal circumstances, he would never have bought it at that price, but now he could buy it and resell it immediately, making 3 million in just one afternoon. This was an advantage that no one else had. Even if others bought it, they wouldn't be able to find a suitable buyer. This was the advantage of auctions. If they had this channel, they would have offered even higher prices.
The deal was sold for 35 million. The others were filled with regret, but the price had already reached this level, and they couldn't continue to participate. They originally thought it was a bargain auction, but they didn't expect Su Daqiang to have brought so many businessmen, making it almost like a regular auction.
The auction prices for each item were not much different from those at a regular auction. With the addition of some laundered money, the merchants' profits were not much. Many people wanted to withdraw from the auction, but the items they offered were better than the last, and they really couldn't bear to part with them. Under the influence of the herd effect, they also followed suit and bid.
After several rounds of bidding, Liu Ning realized that these people were truly capable, so he immediately brought out five items for auction. Su Daqiang glanced at them and immediately pulled up the tablecloth to cover the five items.
"What do you mean? The owner has already brought the goods out, are you still going to hide them? If that's the case, then we're leaving."
"That's right, what kind of trick are you up to now? What do you want from us now? You've brought together almost all the merchants in the city."
Liu Ning naturally didn't understand Su Daqiang's actions, but Su Daqiang had his own cunning. These five items were all top-quality items, and if they were auctioned off now, he might lose money. Su Daqiang planned to add a round of promotion in the middle so that he could sell them for a higher price, and most importantly, he could gain more for himself.
"Brothers, I'm really sorry, but the product coming up is really good. I have to ensure the boss's interests are met, and that my commission is equal to yours. I'm not the first or the last to do this. I promise it will start promptly in half an hour. I hope you bosses can understand."
At this point, Su Daqiang no longer bothered to hide his true intentions and revealed them. He took a series of photos of the five items and posted them directly to his contact group. At this moment, even more people couldn't sit still. These five items were his most prized possessions and could definitely fetch a good price.
After Su Daqiang told Liu Ning these things, Liu Ning finally understood that money really can make the devil turn the millstone.
