Chapter 427 Auction House(1/2)
Chambord Islands.
With the fall of Doflamingo and the subsequent in-depth cleanup of the place by the Navy, order is much better than before.
The original slave gang on the island was beaten to kill rabbits, and a lot of them were lost by the way.
But unless the problem of the source is solved, these hyena-like guys will always be at bay.
Why has the slave business in the Chambord Islands been able to survive for a long time and even formed a huge industrial scale and profit chain?
The most fundamental reason is that there is a huge demand.
100% profit can make people trample on the law, so as long as there is demand for a business like slaves, which is almost profitable, there will never be any fear of big risks.
Therefore, such people always kill batch after batch, and there are still new ones to take over.
Unless one day the rule of the Celestial Dragons is overthrown and the law on slaves is abolished, this situation can be fundamentally improved.
However, one good thing is that with the fall of Doflamingo, the largest slave auction house located in the Chambord Islands has completely collapsed.
Now there are several newly formed forces that are desperately fighting for this piece of cake, fighting to the death.
No slave-trading force would give up such a big piece of cake, one that would never expire.
But it is obvious that none of the newly emerging forces can suppress all voices of resistance like Doflamingo's Don Quixote family.
This kind of fight is expected to continue for some time, but the business of the slave auction house cannot stop.
Not only because the slave auction house is a cornucopia of money that can be made every day, but also because no one can offend their biggest patrons, the Celestial Dragons.
If the wealthy aristocrats from all over the world are the main consumers of slaves, then the world's aristocrats, the Celestial Dragons, are the main force among them.
The Celestial Dragons are never short of money, and they have no concept of money. Spending a lot of money on a slave they like is just childish.
Whenever valuable slaves appear, it is not a problem for the Celestial Dragons to spend hundreds of millions of beli casually.
After all, the entire world belongs to the Celestial Dragons, and the amount of gold in the sky alone is not a small amount every year.
Spending hundreds of millions of beli is just a drop in the bucket for them.
Recently, the auction house has been renovated and renovated.
After all, due to the impact of the arrest of the Don Quixote family, this place has come to a standstill.
This time, several forces worked together to reopen the auction house.
The purpose is naturally not to lose natural big customers like Tianlong people.
Of course, the auction house itself is a treasure trove. The chaos during this period has caused the auction house to stagnate for a long time. Several forces have realized that continuing to fight is not an option.
After simply sitting together and discussing it again, we started again.
Not only that, for this auction, several forces, in order to maintain the reputation of the No. 1 Auction House, spent almost all their efforts to collect countless treasured 'items' regardless of investment, and then even more vigorously publicized it in order to regain their reputation.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In any case, the auction house's actions this time attracted countless dignitaries.
As for whether it can return to its heyday, it depends on how effective it is this time.
The auction house is located in the core area of Area 1, with basically no other buildings around it.
The auction house after this reconstruction is obviously more magnificent than before, and even from the outside, you can feel the feeling of wealth.
However, the style dominated by golden yellow always looks a bit gaudy.
But who wants everyone to take this bite?
The inside of the auction house has also been renovated. There are a total of 5 areas. The auction house with 2o rows of seats in each area can accommodate 1,000 people sitting at the same time.
By this time, the auction house was already packed.
Everyone on every seat looked well-dressed, and it goes without saying that they were either rich or noble.
In many places, people even wear crowns and are surrounded by bodyguards in black suits.
Needless to say, the king of a certain kingdom is also here.
Somewhat ironically, those goods on the middle stage are the same people as them, and now these their kind have been regarded as goods by them by default.
Yes.
goods!
Even in their eyes, these people are no longer called human beings.
I don’t know how they will feel one day when they become like this.
There is a large round platform in the center of the auction house.
Countless lights are scattered on the stage, allowing people to see clearly.
"The next item to appear is cargo No. 10. It is really familiar. Items with the same number are also extremely cherished things."
In the middle of the stage, there was an auction table, and the sound came from there and spread throughout the hall.
The person currently presiding over the auction is Disco, the owner and auctioneer of the original auction house. He is Doflamingo's agent in the Chambord Islands.
I just didn't expect that he could survive after Doflamingo's fall, and even continue to be the auctioneer at the auction house. I have to say that he does have something.
However, it can be seen that he has rich experience in auctions and is also first-rate in mobilizing the audience's emotions.
Moreover, he is familiar with the auction rules. This auction is not all based on goods from low to high. There will also be strange peaks in the middle, so that the audience's emotions can always be controlled by him.
"Well, not much to say, now please take a look..."
Following the sound, his finger pointed in one direction, where a cage was being pushed out.
At the same time, there was a beam of light hitting it.
Many spectators stretched their heads to look there, and then found that the cage was covered with a layer of velvet.
The crowd was noisy, and some impatient people stood up from their seats.
"You bastard in front of me, you're blocking my view!"
"What the hell is that? Stop showing off, you bastard!"
"I've already taken off my pants, and you're just going to show me this?"
"Open it quickly, open it quickly!"
No matter how you mobilize your emotions, there is always a deep and a shallow scale to control... well, a loose and tight scale to control.
It's obvious that Disco is a veteran in this area and his posture is very skillful.
The cage was pushed to the center of the stage.
When the emotions of the audience were almost aroused, he grabbed the velvet and pulled it off.
"Everyone, please take a look at item No. 10, super female star Shree Rais! Let the screams and cheers start! Ladies and gentlemen! Please don't be stingy with your voices."
In fact, needless to say, when they saw who the person in the cage was, most of the people in the audience were already in a state of excitement.
You know this is Shree Rais!
Three years ago, she became world-famous as soon as she debuted at the age of 17. In the following two years, she became one of the most famous female stars in the world.
Just three months ago, she suddenly disappeared after a performance. There has been no news about her in the past three months. Many people thought that she had died.
I didn’t expect to appear here!
Shrilath in the cage is about 1.8 meters tall, with long golden waves, wearing an off-white gauze skirt, and her beautiful eyes are filled with tears, which makes her look extremely pitiful under the light.
There were chains around her neck and hands, and she was leaning against the cage helplessly, with a look of despair in her big eyes.
"Ahhhhh..."
The louder screams almost lifted the roof of the hall.
"The genuine Shree Lace, after our verification, she has never had any boyfriend, and we also trained her for a month, so you know..."
"oh……!!"
The men's voices had an unusual tacit understanding this time.
"Everyone must be impatient with the waiting. Now I will announce that the lowest auction price of Shrilais is..."
"Twenty million!"
"I'll give you 200 million beli!"
The third row in the middle area is the prime location of the entire auction house.
The seats are slightly higher than the center stage, and the distance from the stage is just right.
These seats are specially equipped with semi-open wooden boards to separate them from other places.
The voice came from here, and as soon as it was spoken, it was worth 200 million beli.
Following the sound, I looked over and saw a man holding out two fat fingers that looked like two rough radishes.
He wore an outfit similar to that of an astronaut, with a round transparent mask on his head to isolate the surrounding air.
He has a fat face and two drops of mucus about to drip from his nose. He looks like a mentally retarded person.
But just what a mentally retarded person said made the noise in the audience disappear in an instant.
To be continued...
