A middle-aged white man with a big beard stood on the auction stage. Two young men pushed out a small car with a two-meter-long bluefin tuna lying on it, with No. 1 marked on it.
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's head, body length, and several parts. fatness, body thickness, origin, predicted fish age, etc.
This is very different from the Tsukiji Market auction in Tokyo. In Tokyo, bidders will personally observe the tuna being auctioned 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, people are allowed to watch the tuna situation, but it is not free to watch at any time like in Tokyo. It is just for everyone to take a quick look and have a general idea of ??the situation.
The auction organizers will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of these tuna, and the evaluation data will be displayed with the appearance of each fish, so that participants can combine these data with their own observations to locate the fish.
¡°This is a big fish from Georges Bank, six feet six inches long, 450 pounds, with a fat content of 13.8%. The starting price is 22,000 euros. Please bid!¡± the bearded auctioneer shouted eagerly.
Qin Shiou was not a participant in the photo, so he sat in the back, where the scenery was better and he could see the whole scene. Of course, you can¡¯t clearly see the current condition of the tuna being auctioned here, as the heavyweight bidders are all sitting in the first two rows.
Qin Shiou cannot clearly see the quality of this fish, so it is difficult for Qin Shiou to estimate the price. The picture is deceptive, but judging from the fat content and length-to-weight ratio, the quality of this fish is average, and the starting unit price is close to fifty euros. , not cheap.
Qin Shiou shook his head, thinking that this fish might not be sold, but he obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of this year's tuna market. Even at this price, some people raised their hands to accept the price.
The tuna auction was fast-paced, and people raised their hands one after another. This places high demands on the auctioneer, which requires him to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions, discover bidders immediately, and at the same time stir up the atmosphere of the auction and achieve a higher price.
¡°This gentleman offers twenty-two thousand five hundred euros!¡±
¡°What a handsome offer, the price has risen to 24,000 euros!¡±
¡°Well done, the gentleman gave a great price, twenty-four thousand five hundred euros!¡±
"Twenty-four thousand five hundred euros! Now the price has reached twenty-four thousand five hundred euros! Is there anyone who offers a higher price? OK, it seems that this fish is already in this gentleman's bag. Twenty-four thousand five hundred euros once! Twenty-four thousand five hundred euros twice! Twenty-four thousand five hundred euros, deal!"
"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and the auctioneer punched hard, and then the fish was marked with the dealer's name and pulled down.
When one fish leaves, another fish is pulled up again, and the same procedure is repeated.
"If you were watching it in front of the TV, Qin Shiou would be impatient. It was just a series of quotes. The auction items were all the same, with different sizes and different fat contents at most, which was not interesting.
But at the scene, the atmosphere is completely different. Unlike an art auction, where everyone lazily gives prices, here prices are given very quickly, the auctioneer¡¯s voice is loud, and the atmosphere is very warm, making it easy for people to participate. .
Tuna was pulled up one by one, and then pulled down one by one. The transaction rate was 100%, and not a single fish failed to be sold.
Later, Butler quietly walked to Qin Shiou and sat down, and whispered: "How about it? This place has a different flavor than the auction at Tsukiji Market, right?"
Qin Shiou nodded and said in a low voice: "It's indeed good. Why did you come here?"
Butler smiled mysteriously and avoided talking. Instead, he said: "Take a good look, man, this is just the beginning. It's just the warm-up stage now. The atmosphere of the auction will be more exciting later!"
The first round of auction lasted forty-five minutes and ended. A total of about one hundred tuna were auctioned, the largest of which was only six hundred pounds. The quality seemed to Qin Shiou to be ordinary, but the prices were good. This made him feel confident about his own. The Fish King was full of anticipation.
However, he noticed that Ibebe Aoyama and Tezuka Kouta were not very active. Although they raised their hands several times, they did not catch a fish in the end. It seemed that their judgmentLike Qin Shiou, these fish are good, but the quality is only good and not worthy of the price.
It was the Mori brothers who stole the show. Without the two powerful rivals Tezuka Kota and Ibe Aoyama to raise the price, they took more than half of the 100 fish.
After a ten-minute break, Butler asked Qin Shiou if he wanted to go backstage to take a look. He said that the highlight of the auction was behind the scenes, and there were fifty big fish in total.
Qin Shiou asked curiously: "A total of about 150 fish? Isn't the scale of this auction very large?"
At the Tsukiji Market auction, five hundred tuna can be auctioned at one time. In comparison, today¡¯s auction is indeed a bit small.
Butler didn¡¯t see it that way. He smiled and said: ¡°Of course, of course, my man, you see that the total transaction volume is more than two million euros. Isn¡¯t this a big scale?¡±
Seeing Qin Shiou shrugging his shoulders and making an incredible gesture, Butler continued: "Man, the Amsterdam auction is the highest grade among seafood auctions. It's not that it can't find enough tuna, but it only accepts the best tuna. Make sure every fish comes in and is bought.¡±
"In addition, if you pay attention to this auction, you will find that so far, not a single tuna has been sold here! Do you know how many tuna have been sold here? Five thousand fish!"
Hearing Butler tell this figure, Qin Shiou was convinced. Not one of the more than 5,000 tuna failed to be auctioned. This shows that the status of this auction market in the seafood industry is indeed comparable to Tsukiji Market.
Tsukiji Market is a real market, and the Amsterdam auction is a real auction. The tuna that enters here can be regarded as works of art.
After the break, everyone returned and the second round of the auction began. Butler winked at Qin Shiou and told him to take a good look.
The auctioneer of this round of auctions was replaced by a veteran auctioneer who was about seventy years old. He had white hair and a white beard, a ruddy complexion, and was wearing a straight vest and suit. When Qin Shiou saw him, he was reminded of Hamley. British gentleman.
The old auctioneer made a clear sound with his gavel, and someone dragged the cart out again. This time, it was not a young man who came out, but two tall, bulging blonde beauties wearing bikinis.
The tuna that came out this time was bigger, better in quality, and looked very fresh. When the light shone on the fish and moved slowly, you could see a colorful halo flowing on the surface of the tuna.
I don¡¯t know if it was the fish or the excitement of the two beauties. As soon as they appeared, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more intense.
The Mori brothers, Tezuka Kouta, Ibana Aoyama and the others looked at each other, and the laziness on their faces was wiped away, replaced by solemnity and enthusiasm. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
