Chapter 197 Hulk, Zhou Sui
"If you like anything that will be auctioned later, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

"Don't be polite. In fact, these are enough," said Zhao Fangfei.

Zhao Fangfei is very picky when it comes to showing off.

If it were Lin Jiang, she would want to buy some expensive things to satisfy her vanity.

But the situation is different if these things were bought by Zhou Sui.

No matter how expensive the things you buy are, it’s not easy to post them on your Moments. It’s better to establish a virtuous persona.

Zhou Sui crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, smoked, and pointed.

"It doesn't matter. We just go out to have fun. Money can buy happiness, which is more important than anything else."

Zhao Fangfei smiled but didn't say anything.

She saw clearly Zhou Sui's little thoughts.

At this time, the host's voice sounded.

"My dear friends, the first item of the Fishing Festival has been brought to the stage. It is the huge clam in my hand."

Looking at the clams in the host's hand, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

"So big!"

The common clams in the market are almost the size of mahjong tiles. The smaller ones are about the size of beer caps, but the one in the host's hand is as big as half a palm!
It is indeed rare on the market, and only high-end restaurants serve these things.

"Because there are only 20 of them, the starting price is 288, and the price will increase by 50 each time. Friends present here, if you want to experience this delicacy, you can raise your hands and bid."

The starting price is not expensive, and can even be said to be very low. As for how high it will rise in the end, it is hard to say.

"plus 50."

Zhou Sui raised his hand first, and everyone's eyes fell on him.

"Add 50!"

Zhou Sui started the bidding, and then others who were rich or wanted to show off in front of their female companions also began to bid.

It soon rose to 588.

"Add 50!" Zhou Sui raised his hand again with a calm expression, showing his determination to win.

Finally, when Zhou Sui called out 1488, almost no one bid anymore.

The host decided to quit while he was ahead. "I'll count to three, two, one. If no one bids, these 20 super-large clams will belong to the guests at table three."

Seeing that no one was bidding, the host said simply:

"Three, two, one! Lot number one belongs to the guest at table number three."

After the final decision was made, the host on the stage asked the staff below to take the item to Zhou Sui, which gave his vanity a little satisfaction.

"Please help us process it." Zhou Sui said, crossing his legs.

"Ok."

"It's a bit exciting. So many people are rushing to buy it. I'm a little nervous," said Feng Qi.

"These are just small events, nothing important." Zhou Sui said:

"I've participated in a Sobey's auction before, where they sold chicken cups, which were priced in the hundreds of thousands. The two cannot be compared."

"It must be an exciting scene, right?" Feng Qi said.

"That was quite exciting. You've probably never seen that kind of scene in your life." Zhou Sui looked at Lin Jiang with a sense of superiority:

“Have you ever been to an auction like this?”

"No, but I've heard about that auction. The pair of chicken cups seemed to have sold for a whopping 1.2 million yuan." Lin Jiang said with a smile:
"Your family is really rich. You can actually buy such expensive things. We can't do that."

Zhou Sui's expression suddenly froze.

When did I say I would buy that pair of chicken-glazed cups?

"Your family is so amazing. You spent 1.2 million just to buy a small cup? You have really good taste," said Feng Qi.

"This one……"

Zhou Sui's expression was awkward. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but he was itching with hatred in his heart.

"We just participated, but we didn't take pictures of the pair of chicken cups."

"So that's how it is." Feng Qi's interest waned.

While a few people were talking, the second item was brought up.

It is an oyster as big as a palm. Although it is rare, it is not amazing.

Finally, it was bought by Zhou Sui for 1488.

The third and fourth lots were similar to the first two.

The prices of tiger shrimp and abalone were relatively high, both were sold for more than 2000 yuan, but Zhou Sui did not bid.

Soon, when the fifth item was taken out, it caused bursts of exclamations.

It was a dragon as big as an arm!
Compared to the lobster, the clams and oysters I just bought seem a bit ordinary.

"My friends, what I have in my hand is a 12-pound lobster. There are only a few lobsters of this quality and weight produced in a year. Even the most luxurious restaurants may not be able to eat one."

The host took the microphone and said:

"Now, the starting price for this 12-jin lobster is 2988 yuan, and the price will increase by 100 yuan each time. If you are interested, you can make an offer now."

"Finally, something decent."

Zhou Sui was the first to raise his hand.

Others followed suit, and soon 5688 was called.

Lin Jiang admired the host a little. With so many people bidding, he was not confused at all and still had something on him.

At this price, it is basically a premium, and only a few people raised their hands.

"The guest at table 12 has bid 5688. Is there anyone else bidding?"

“Hehe… It’s just an ordinary lobster. Selling it for around 4000 is already a sky-high price. Spending 5688 on it is definitely a big deal.” Zhou Sui said.

At this time, the host came over with the lobster and continued to show it to the people below.

"My friends, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

Seeing this big guy up close, many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures, even Zhao Fangfei and Feng Qi were no exception.

Because of this weight, it is indeed rare to see one.

"I'll add another 500."

Seeing Lin Jiang suddenly raise his hand, Zhao Fangfei and Feng Qi both looked at him.

"Brother Jiang, why are you still taking pictures?"

"It's a bit troublesome to take photos like this. If you buy it, you can take photos as you like."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang."

At this moment, Zhao Fangfei's vanity was greatly satisfied, and Feng Qi was envious to death.

Zhou Sui didn't say anything and had a gloomy face the whole time.

Seeing Lin Jiang suddenly add 500, the host smiled.

The price has reached over 6000, and I can get a lot of commission.

It was precisely because Lin Jiang added 500 more that others gave up the idea of ​​raising the price.

Although they have some money, it is not enough to squander it.

After the deal was done, the staff brought the 12-pound lobster to a few people.

The two girls became very curious and squatted nearby, taking pictures with their cell phones.

The women at other tables were also envious.

Just to make it easier for his girlfriend to take photos, he bought such an expensive thing. This man is so manly.

Most importantly, he is handsome.

Many women were flirting with him, and some of them at the neighboring table even lifted their skirts secretly to reveal their thighs.

When you are handsome and rich, you have no idea how proactive girls will be.

After taking the photos contentedly, the two women returned to their seats.

"This lobster is so big, I've never seen one this big," said Zhao Fangfei. "I've never seen one either, I had to move the camera really far away to capture it all." Feng Qi said, "I've really learned a lot today."

"Thank you, dear."

Zhao Fangfei came up to Lin Jiang and kissed her on the face, also showing off to others, "This is something my boyfriend bought for me."

Feng Qi sat beside them with a lack of interest, feeling extremely envious.

"Spending so much money on a lobster is too much of a premium." Zhou Sui said indifferently.

"Didn't you say that the main thing when going out to play is to have fun? If Fangfei is happy, then it's worth it."

Zhou Sui: ...

Quietly, Feng Qi looked at Lin Jiang and compared him with Zhou Sui.

It seems like there is nothing I can come up with.

Next, there are six lots.

Unlike the other things, this time it was pushed up by a cart and covered with a red cloth.

"Friends, compared to the other lots, the sixth lot is a little special. Does anyone want to guess what it is?"

"King crab!"

"tuna!"

"Octopus!"

The tourists who came shouted loudly, which also livened up the atmosphere.

"I'm really sorry, no one guessed it right, so I won't keep you in suspense."

The host lifted the red cloth on top.

"This is a four-pound wild yellow croaker, which was just caught last night. Needless to say, it is very fresh."

"It turned out to be a wild rhubarb. We finally got something decent." Zhou Sui said.

“Is this fish expensive?”

"It's really not cheap. Four kilograms of wild rhubarb flowers, and they're so fresh, the price per kilogram is at least around 4000 yuan. I just don't know how much he will sell it for here."

"4000 per pound! So expensive!"

If it was more than 4000 per piece, the two women could still accept it.

But at 4000 per pound, one fish is about 1.6!
With such a high price, eating a fish seems like a luxury.

The female staff member came to the stage and brought the wild yellow flower weighing more than four kilograms to the front of the stage to show it to others.

"My dear friends, this 4.6 catties wild yellow flower is the last lot of the fishing festival today. The starting price is 15888 yuan, and each bid is 500 yuan. Please support us..."

In Lin Jiang's opinion, this price is not high and basically covers the cost.

Even if they sell it at the reserve price, they won't lose money and it can be considered a good deal.

Zhou Sui raised the card again, trying to make his presence felt.

But this time, Feng Qi didn't have much expectations and just wanted to watch the fun.

What Lin Jiang didn't expect was that even though it was sold at such a high price, there were still many people bidding.

Everyone knows what's good.

Ring ring ring——

At this time, Lin Jiang's cell phone rang. It was He Xuelu calling.

"Uncle He."

The sound was a bit loud, so Lin Jiang blocked one of his ears.

"Hello? Uncle He, please speak louder. It's a bit noisy here."

Lin Jiang listened carefully to what He Xuelu said, but he couldn't hear clearly.

"Uncle He, wait a minute."

After saying this, Lin Jiang looked at the host on the stage and said:

"I'll pay thirty thousand."

The meeting place fell silent for a moment.

Those who can come here to play are generally small business owners, second-generation rich people, and ordinary middle-class people.

Although they have the purchasing power, they do not have the ability to purchase at a premium.

The current price is only 21888, and it has risen to in an instant!
And I took this picture of the fish because I was annoyed by the noise others made and wanted others to be quieter!
How can others play like this?

Sitting next to Lin Jiang, Zhao Fangfei also felt proud. She felt proud when Lin Jiang called out such a price.

"Please wait a moment, the guest at table number three is on the phone." said the host with a smile.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Jiang.

In other words, the whole audience was waiting for him alone.

But no one was angry.

After all, he is handsome and rich.

And Lin Jiang also heard clearly what He Xuelu said.

"Boss Lin, we found a piece of land in the village below and plan to take it for expansion. I have sorted out the relevant information and sent it to your email."

"Okay, I'll take a look."

After a few brief conversations, Lin Jiang hung up the phone and looked at the host on the stage.

“Anyone else bidding?”

"No sir."

"Okay, take it and process it."

"okay."

The female staff member on the stage took down the wild yellow flower and showed it to Lin Jiang.

People at other tables also came over curiously, and many of them took out their phones to take pictures, preparing to post them on WeChat Moments.

Zhao Fangfei would naturally not miss such an opportunity.

Gradually, the crowd left. Feng Qi said:
"Brother Jiang, you've never participated in an auction before, I think you're amazing."

"This doesn't require any skills, just bid high and it will be fine. There's no need to follow their chaotic bidding, wasting time and energy."

"You're right."

Zhou Sui's face looked ugly. This was obviously a veiled attack!

Not long after, the lobsters and wild yellow flowers that Lin Jiang photographed were served on the table.

Because it was made by the hotel’s chef, it tasted pretty good, and the two girls couldn’t help but check in and take photos.

"There is so much lobster meat. I have never eaten such a big lobster." Feng Qi exclaimed.

"I ate as much as I could today," said Zhao Fangfei.

"Hey, then I won't lose weight today."

As he spoke, Feng Qi picked up another piece of wild yellow flower.

"This wild yellow flower is delicious and fresh. It seems that its high price has a reason."

"Of course, the money is not wasted." said Zhao Fangfei.

"Brother Jiang, thank you for treating us today."

"It's just a small matter, as long as you like it."

"Hehe, I like it very much."

Zhou Sui had a gloomy face the whole time and sat next to him without eating a single bite.

Lin Jiang smiled. He came here today to catch Zhao Fangfei as a pet, but there might be some unexpected gains.

The way Feng Qi looked at him was almost tearing.

Looking at Zhou Sui again, it felt like his whole body was glowing green.
