Chapter 1050

PS: I recommend a book. A good friend of mine wrote a historical article, "emperor Mengmeng Da". It's a very easy novel. You can know the name of the book. I hope you'll be interested to see it. Thank you. In addition, if you still have monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, please vote for our fishing ground and thank you again!

A middle-aged white man with a big beard under his chin stood on the auction table. Two young people launched a small car on which lay a two meter long bluefin tuna marked No. 1.

After the fish appeared, the huge LED screen behind the bearded auctioneer lit up, and some parameters appeared on it. There were 360 degree pictures of the fish, including the length of the fish head, the length of the fish body, the fat degree of several parts, the thickness of the body, the place of origin, the predicted age of the fish, etc.

This is very different from the auction of Tsukiji market in Tokyo. In Tokyo, the participants will personally observe the tuna and evaluate the texture of the fish. In this way, the same fish often has different values in the eyes of different people.

At the auction in Amsterdam, tuna is also allowed to watch, but it's not free to watch at any time like Tokyo. Just look at it and have a general situation in mind.

The organizer of the auction will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of these tunas, and the evaluation data will be displayed with the emergence of each fish, so that participants can locate the fish by combining these data with their own observations.

"This is a big fish from George shoal. It is six feet six inches long, 450 pounds, and the fat rate is 13.8%. The starting price is 22000 euros. Please bid!" Cried the bearded auctioneer eagerly.

Qin Shiou is not a participant, so he sat in the back. The scenery here is better and can see the whole scene. Of course, you can't see the current appearance of the tuna here. The heavyweight participants are sitting in the first two rows.

I can't see the appearance of the fish. Qin Shiou can't estimate the price. The picture is deceptive, but from the fat rate and length weight ratio, the quality of the fish is average. The starting unit price is close to 50 euros, which is not cheap.

Qin Shiou shook his head and thought that the fish might flow, but he obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of this year's tuna market. Even at this price, some people raised their hands to bid.

Tuna auction rhythm is very fast, people raise their hands one after another. This is very demanding for the auctioneer. He needs to see and listen, find the bidder at the first time, stir up the atmosphere of the auction and bid a higher price.

"The gentleman offered twenty-two thousand five hundred euros!"

"Handsome offer, the price has risen to 24000 euros!"

"Well done, the gentleman gave a beautiful price, 24500 euros!"

"Twenty four thousand five hundred euros! Now the price has reached 24500 euros! Is there anything more expensive? OK, it seems that this fish is already in this gentleman's bag, 24500 euros a time! Twenty four thousand five hundred euros twice! Twenty four thousand five hundred euros, deal! "

"Pa!" With a crisp sound, the auctioneer punched heavily, and then the fish was hung with the dealer's brand and pulled down.

One fish left, another fish was pulled up, and the same procedure was repeated.

If you watch it on TV, Qin Shiou must be impatient. It's just bidding in circles. The auctions are the same things. At most, they are different in size and fat content. It's meaningless.

But at the scene, the atmosphere is completely different. Unlike the art auction, everyone gives the price lazily. The frequency of giving the price here is very fast, and the voice of the auctioneer is also very loud. The atmosphere is very warm and it is easy for people to participate.

Tuna were pulled up and down one by one. The transaction rate was 100%, and no fish was photographed.

Later Butler quietly went to Qin Shiou and sat down. He said in a low voice, "what's the matter? It's different from the auction in Zhudi market?"

Qin Shiou nodded and said in the same low voice, "it's really good. How did you come?"

Butler smiled mysteriously and avoided talking. Instead, he said, "look, man, this is just the beginning. Now it's just a warm-up stage. The atmosphere of the auction will be more enthusiastic later!"

The first round of the auction lasted 45 minutes. A total of about 100 tuna were auctioned, the largest of which was only 600 pounds. Qin Shiou thought the quality was ordinary, but the price was good, which made him full of expectations for his fish king.

However, he noticed that Qingshan by the well and xiaotai Tezuka were not very positive. Although they raised their hands several times, they didn't win a fish in the end. It seems that their judgment is the same as Qin Shiou. These fish are good, but the quality is only good, and they don't deserve such a price.

However, the Murray brothers were in the limelight. They didn't have two enemies, xiaotai Tezuka and Qingshan by the well to raise the price. They photographed more than half of the 100 fish.

After a ten minute break, Butler asked Qin Shiou if he wanted to go backstage. He said that the highlights of the auction were behind, and there were 50 big fish in total.

Qin Shiou asked curiously, "a total of 150 fish? Isn't the scale of this auction very large? "

The auction in Tsukiji market can auction 500 tuna at a time. In contrast, today's auction is indeed a little small.

Butler didn't think so. He smiled and said, "of course, of course, my man, you see, the total turnover is more than two million euros. Isn't that a big scale?"

Watching Qin Shiou shrug and make an incredible gesture, Butler continued: "man, Amsterdam auction is the highest level of seafood auction. It is not that it can't find enough tuna, but only accept the best tuna to ensure that every fish will be bought after admission."

"In addition, if you pay attention to this auction, you will find that so far, there is no tuna auction here! Do you know how many tuna have flowed out of here? Five thousand fish! "

Qin Shiou was more convinced when Butler said this figure. There was no auction of more than 5000 tuna. Therefore, it can be seen that the status of this auction market in the seafood industry is indeed comparable to that of Zhudi market.

Tsukiji market is a real market, while the auction in Amsterdam is a real auction. Tuna entering here can be used as works of art.

At the end of the break, everyone returned to the market. The second round of auction began. Butler winked at Qin Shiou and motioned him to have a good look.

The auctioneer of this round of auction was replaced by an old auctioneer of about 70 years old. He had white hair and beard, ruddy complexion and wore a straight vest and suit. Qin Shiou thought of Hamley when he saw him. They were all British gentlemen.

The old auctioneer knocked out a crisp sound with a wooden mallet, and someone dragged the car out. This time, it was not the youth, but two tall blondes with protruding front and warped back in bikini.

The tuna that came out this time is bigger and looks better, and it looks very fresh. The light shines on the fish and moves slowly. You can see colorful halos flowing on the tuna surface.

I don't know whether it was the fish or the stimulation of the two beauties. As soon as they appeared, the scene atmosphere suddenly became more intense.

The Murray brothers, xiaotai Tezuka and Qingshan by the well looked at each other, and the laziness on their faces was swept away, replaced by solemnity and eagerness.
