Little Life on the American Ranch

Chapter 495 The Anticlimactic Auction
Jian Heng looked around, and found that he only knew four or five faces, and these four or five faces were all people who were not easy to deal with. When he turned his face, he saw people appearing on the auction stage. He raised his hand to see After checking his watch, he realized that it was time for the auction to start.

Someone on the auction stage got ready. Those who were standing and chatting, or those who were smoking outside stopped what they were doing, walked back to the auction site, and sat down in their seats.

Jian Heng and Zhang Jialiang were sitting side by side, looking at the stage, watching the auctioneer holding a small hammer and standing behind the auction stage with a book.

"Welcome everyone to our auction. I am familiar with many people here. Of course, there are also many new friends here, some from the United States, some from Canada, and some from China..." The auctioneer saw that everyone in the audience was seated, and said bluntly that he would be alone in one day.

Jian Heng was not surprised to hear that someone came from Canada, but when he heard that there were people from China at the scene, he was suddenly worried and surprised. After entering for a long time, he didn't see the third Chinese face.

Jian Heng turned his head curiously, but he didn't notice any Chinese faces, but he saw a few foreign faces looking at him, and when they made eye contact with him, these people smiled friendly, Jian Heng couldn't help but So I also laughed at others.

Zhang Jialiang saw him, and whispered to Jian Heng: "Brother, don't look at it, just our two Chinese faces, people think we are robbed from China."

"Damn, it's really shameless." Jian Heng naturally understood, and the auction house gave this small auction a little push with Chinese guests.

Now, no matter in North America or Europe, when the big guys hear the word Chinese, what comes to mind is the big money, the rich man, the one who spends money without blinking, and the person who buys whatever he catches, anyway, he is rich and dares. The kind of people who spend money indiscriminately, the so-called Chinese people have raised prices, no matter what they have or not, as long as they are at fault for raising prices, many of them can be attributed to the Chinese people, and they can become incompetent government officials from time to time. The blame man.

"Okay, our first lot is a small pasture near the lake..."

The first lot is a warm-up. The ranch is about [-] acres in size. It can’t be considered a small ranch in this area. It can only be spent on vacation, raising some things and playing with it. , I really want to do something, but I can't do anything with this small area.

For such a small ranch, it is impossible for Jian Heng to raise a placard, but it’s not that no one wants it. The advantage is that the price is cheap, which is more than 3 yuan. You must know that the small ranch also includes a two-story small wooden building for the truce. Although it is not very luxurious, it is enough for middle-class families to come and have fun. In other words, the total price is not high, and the low auction price is also lower than the market price, so it seems very popular. Three guests After four or five rounds of price deals, it was a good start.

"The next one is the second holding ranch, a small open space, it used to be..." The auction house projected a photo of the small plot on the big screen behind it, and began to introduce it carefully.

This piece of land is the O'Brien family's land, an open space of about forty acres, without houses or other buildings, it is completely a primitive land, what is the good thing about this land, there is a stream in the middle , and the area of ​​the entire small land is relatively flat, and it is also close to the foot of the mountain, which is perfect as a small ranch for hunting.

Jian Heng naturally likes this piece of land. Even without these things, he doesn't want others to come and be his neighbors. With this piece of land, Jian Heng and Old Walsh's ranch will border on more area.

When the auction house raised its hand to call out a price, Jian Heng raised his hand.

"[-] dollars, this gentleman offered [-] dollars, do you have [-], [-]? Okay, sir, do you have [-], [-]?" The auction house stretched out its finger Seeing the auction scene who kept raising his hands, he was spitting and roaring.

After Jian Heng raised his hands twice, he stopped and stopped raising his hands, and looked at those who continued to raise their hands with a curious expression on his face.

Zhang Jialiang also had a smile on his face at the same time, lowered his voice and said to Jian Heng: "These two nurses worked really hard, but it's a pity that the performance was a bit too much."

"Forty-seven thousand, forty-seven thousand U.S. dollars, has anyone added more..." The auction house's expression changed slightly, but he quickly put it away, and pointed to the last bidder. , loudly asked the people around.

One of the buyers who wanted to buy stopped, and now the highest bidder is a babysitter.

Forty-seven thousand U.S. dollars, it is not cheap to buy such a piece of vacant land, even if you go to the market to buy it alone, it will not be much more expensive than this, and it has to include various fees. Now buy it here, Not only are various expenses unavoidable, but also the auction fee has to be paid. A rough calculation does not come down to $[-]. Who would not be stupid to buy such a piece of land for $[-].

Jian Heng wanted it because it bordered his own ranch, but it was too expensive, so it was completely unnecessary.

The second lot was 'taken' by a child in the field. Although the auction house wanted to show a very happy look after the auction house called out the deal, it was a pity that the cultivation skills were not in place. Not only Jian Heng, but even Zhang Jialiang saw the embarrassment on his face, and couldn't help laughing twice.

Just as Jian Heng watched playfully as the nurse walked to the settlement area and began to pretend to give a deposit or something, suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that several people he knew began to chat with each other, and one of them even took out his mobile phone , Immediately after, the others also took out their mobile phones, and within a minute of getting together, they all stood up and left the stage without a word.

When the few people left like this, not only Jian Heng was a little stunned, but also the other people who participated in the shooting were also stunned. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't understand what happened.

Jian Heng muttered, "What happened?"

Zhang Jialiang scratched the back of his head: "I don't know!"

While talking about Zhang Jialiang, he took out his mobile phone, fiddled with it a few times, then froze for a moment, and quickly put the information displayed on his mobile phone in front of Jian Heng.

Jian Heng looked at the words on the screen, and saw that it said: This morning, wolves attacked six nearby small and medium-sized pastures at the same time. According to preliminary statistics, more than [-] cows were killed or injured... .

A short message immediately poured the coldest pot of water on this auction.As soon as such news came out, as long as there was no problem in their minds, they would know how to choose.

When Jian Heng saw this, he immediately showed joy, but quickly put it back, and began to praise Siyanhei's beautiful job in his heart.

Zhang Jialiang raised his phone here, and the person sitting next to the two turned his head and saw the information on the phone, so he quickly took out the phone and looked at it.

Zhang Jialiang wasn't the only one who was smart, or it wasn't just one or two who subscribed to the news push, so everyone in the venue soon knew the news.

The auctioneer and the off-site staff naturally got the news as soon as possible, so the auctioneer just suspended the auction, waiting for the seller and the organizer to arrange next.

Sitting at the bottom, Jian Heng looked at these guys who were busy and messed up on the stage with a smile, and he was very happy: I asked you to hire babysitters, and I told you not to sell them directly to me. Is it cool now?

After waiting for about 10 minutes, some of the guests who were still sitting began to leave the venue. After 15 minutes, less than half of the people were left in the venue.

The auctioneer came back to the stage at this time, and said with an apologetic expression: "Hey, I'm sorry, today's auction has been postponed because several nearby pastures have been attacked, and it is not appropriate to auction now. To express our apologies to everyone, we have also prepared a small gift for you, which will be given to you by the staff later... ".

Long-winded a lot, in fact, the meaning is that this place can't be auctioned today, you don't want to buy it, and we don't want to sell it, everyone should go back to their respective homes today, and go to their mothers.

Jian Heng didn't complain at all. Anyway, as long as the four eyes are black, the land price can only fall, and it is impossible to skyrocket. If you wait for a month or two, what are you afraid of? Jian Heng knows that this is a small bank. The same is true of financial resources. It is a great thing to cover up for a year, let alone cover up for a few years. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I am not so eager to get the land. If you want to wait, then continue to wait.

Smiling, he took the small gift from the staff, some snacks, plus a coffee coupon, less than twenty dollars, and went back happily with Zhang Xiliang.
