ps: I recommend a book, a historical article written by a good friend of mine, "The Emperor Mengmengda", a very relaxing novel. You can see the title of the book. I hope everyone who is interested will go and thank you. In addition, if you have monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, please vote for our fishing ground and thank you again!

A white middle-aged man with a big beard under his chin stood on the auction table. Two young men unveiled a small car with a two-meter-long bluefin tuna lying on it, marked No. 1.

After the appearance of this fish, the huge LED screen behind the bearded auctioneer lit up, and some parameters appeared on it, including the 360-degree picture of the fish, including the length of the fish's head, the length of the fish body, the fatness of several parts, the thickness of the body, the origin, the predicted age of the fish, etc.

This is very different from the Tokyo Tsukiji Market Auction. In Tokyo, participants will personally observe the tuna that was participant, and their meat was evaluated by themselves. This way, the same fish often has different value in the eyes of different people.

At the auction in Amsterdam, the tuna situation is also allowed to be viewed, but it is not free to watch at any time like Tokyo. It is just that everyone can just watch it briefly and have a rough situation in their minds.

The auction organizer will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of these tunas, and the evaluation data will be displayed as each fish appears, so that the participants can combine these data and their own observations to locate the fish.

"This is a big fish from George's shallow, six feet and six inches long, four hundred and fifty pounds, with a fat rate of 13.8%, with a starting price of 22,000 euros. Please bid!" the bearded auctioneer shouted eagerly.

Qin Shiou was not a participant, so he sat in the back seat. The scenery here is better and he could see the whole scene. Of course, it is impossible to see the current quality of the participant tuna here. The heavyweight participant sat in the front two rows.

It is hard to see the quality of this fish, Qin Shiou is difficult to estimate the price, and the pictures are deceptive. However, from the perspective of fat ratio and length and weight ratio, the quality of this fish is average, and the starting unit price is close to fifty euros, which is not cheap.

Qin Shiou shook his head and thought that the fish might fail to sell, but he obviously underestimated the popularity of the tuna market this year. Even at this price, some people raised their hands to meet the price.

The tuna auction pace is very fast, and everyone raises their hands one after another. This requires a high level of demand for the auctioneer. He needs to look at the eyes and listen to all directions, find the bidder at the first time, and at the same time stir up the atmosphere of the auction and get a higher price.

"This gentleman bids 22,500 euros!"

"The handsome price has risen to 24,000 euros!"

"Beautiful job, this gentleman gave a beautiful price, 24,500 euros!"

"Twenty-four-five hundred euros! The price has now been paid for 24,500 euros! Is there anyone who gives a higher price? OK, it seems that this fish is already in this gentleman's pocket, 24,500 euros once! 24,500 euros twice! 24,500 euros, the deal is completed!"

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound. The auctioneer fisted heavily, and then the fish was put on the dealer's brand and pulled down.

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

If you watch it in front of the TV, Qin Shiou will definitely be impatient. It just quotes in circles. The auction items are the same thing, at most they are different in size and fat content, which is meaningless.

But at the scene, the atmosphere was completely different. Unlike the auction of artworks, everyone lazily paid the price. The frequency of the price here was very fast and the auctioneer's voice was also very loud. The atmosphere was very warm and it was 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 no fish failed to shoot.

Butler quietly walked to Qin Shiou and sat down, whispering: "How is it? This place has a different flavor than the auction at Tsukiji Market?"

Qin Shiou nodded and whispered in a low voice: "It's really good, why did you come?"

Butler smiled mysteriously and avoided talking, but said, "Look at it well, man, this is just the beginning. Now it's just a warm-up stage. The atmosphere at the auction will be more lively later!"

The first round of auction ended forty-five minutes, and a total of about 100 tunas were sold, the largest one was only 600 pounds. The quality was ordinary in Qin Shiou's opinion, but the price was good, which made him look forward to his fish king.

However, he noticed that Aoyama beside the well and Takata Tezuka were not very active. Although they raised their hands several times, they did not take a fish in the end. It seemed that their judgment was the same as Qin Shiou. These fish were good, but the quality was only good, and they were not worthy of such a price.

However, the Morris brothers were very popular. Without Tezuka Takata and Aoyama, two powerful rivals, to raise the price, they bought more than half of the 100 fish.

After ten minutes of rest, Butler asked Qin Shiou if he was going to the backstage to take a look. He said that the highlights of the auction were all behind, and there were still fifty big fish in total.

Qin Shiou asked curiously: "There are about 150 fish in total? Isn't this auction a big scale?"

At the Tsukiji Market auction, 500 tunas can be sold at one time, compared to today's auction scale is indeed a bit small.

Butler didn't think so. He smiled and said, "Of course, of course, my guy, you see that the total transaction volume is more than two million euros. Isn't this a large scale?"

Seeing Qin Shiou shrugging and making an incredible pose, Butler continued: "Man, the Amsterdam Auction is the mid-grade and the highest-end seafood auction. It is not that it cannot find enough tuna, but that it only accepts the best tuna to ensure that every fish will be bought after entering the market."

"Also, if you follow this auction, you will find that so far, no tuna has failed to be sold here! Do you know how many tunas have flowed out of here? Five thousand fish!"

Qin Shiou was more convinced when he heard Butler say this number. None of the more than 5,000 tunas failed to be sold. From this we can see that the status of this auction market in the seafood industry is indeed an existence comparable to that of the Tsukiji Market.

Tsukiji Market is a real market, while the auction in Amsterdam is a real auction, and the tuna that enters here can be regarded as a work of art.

The rest time ended, and everyone returned to the venue one after another. The second round of auction began. Butler shook his eyes at Qin Shiou and signaled him to take a good look.

The auctioneer at this round of auction was replaced by an old auctioneer in his seventies. He had white hair and beards, rosy complexion, and a straight vest and suit. Qin Shiou thought of Hamley when he saw him, all of them were British gentlemen.

The old auctioneer knocked a crisp sound with a wooden hammer, and someone dragged a car out. This time the person who came out was not a young man, but two tall blonde beauties wearing bikini with bulging fronts and tilted backs.

The tuna that came out this time was bigger and had better appearance, and looked very fresh. The light shone on the fish and slowly moved, and you could see colorful halos flowing on the surface of the tuna.

I don’t know if it was the reason for this fish or the excitement of the two beauties, but as soon as they appeared, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became more intense.

The Morris brothers, Takata Tezuka, Aoyama beside the well looked at each other, and the laziness on his face was swept away, and replaced by solemnity and enthusiasm. (To be continued.)
