  A white middle-aged man with a big beard under his nose stood on the auction stage. Two young men launched a small car on which was lying a two-meter-long bluefin tuna with number 1.

After the fish appeared, the huge LED screen behind the bearded auctioneer lights up, and some parameters appear on it. There are three hundred and sixty degrees of this fish, including the length of the fish head, the length of the fish body, and several parts. The fat degree, body thickness, production area, estimated fish age and so on.

This is very different from the Tokyo Tsukiji Market auction. In Tokyo, the participants will personally observe the tuna they are auctioned. The quality of the fish will be evaluated by themselves. This often results in the same fish with different values ​​in the eyes of different people. .

  At the auction in Amsterdam, tuna is also allowed to watch, but it is not free to watch at any time like in Tokyo. It is just that everyone can watch the flowers on a whirlwind and have a general situation in mind.

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

  "This is a big fish from George Shoal. It is 6 feet 6 inches long, 450 pounds, and has a fat percentage of 13.8%. The starting price is 22,000 Euros. Please bid!" The bearded auctioneer eagerly shouted.

  Qin Shiou was not a participant. So sitting in the back position, the scenery here is better. Can get a glimpse of the whole scene. Of course, you can't see the current taste of the tuna. The heavyweight participants are all sitting in the first two rows.

I can’t see the quality of this fish. Qin Shiou is not easy to estimate the price. The picture is deceptive, but from the point of view of the fat percentage and the length-to-weight ratio, the quality of this fish is average, and the starting unit price is close to 50 Euros. , Not cheap.

  Qin Shiou shook his head, thinking that this fish might be unsold, but he obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the tuna market this year. Even at this price, some people raised their hands in response to the price.

  Tuna auctions have a fast pace, and everyone raises their hands one after another. This is very demanding on the auctioneer, requiring him to watch all directions, find the bidder the first time, and at the same time stir up the atmosphere of the auction and bid a higher price.

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

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

   "Well done, this gentleman gave a nice price. Twenty-four thousand five hundred euros!"

"Twenty-four thousand five hundred euros! The price has now reached twenty-four thousand five hundred euros! Is there a higher price? Ok, it seems that this fish is already in the bag of this gentleman. 24,500 euros once! 24,500 euros twice! 24,500 euros, a deal!"

   "Pop!" There was a crisp sound. The auctioneer slammed his fist heavily, and then the fish was named the dealer and was pulled down.

  One fish left, another fish was pulled up again. Do the same procedure again.

  Qin Shiou must be impatient if he is watching it in front of the TV. It's just a circle of quotations, and the auction items are all the same thing. At most, they are different in size and fat content, which is meaningless.

But at the scene, the atmosphere is completely different. Unlike art auctions, where everyone is lazily giving prices. The frequency of bidding here is very fast. The auctioneer’s voice is also very loud and the atmosphere is very warm. It is easy for people to participate in it. .

  One by one tuna is pulled up, and one after another is pulled down. The transaction rate is 100%, and none of the fish is unsold.

  Behind Butler quietly walked to Qin Shiou and sat down, and said in a low voice: "How about it, is there a different flavor compared to the auction at Tsukiji Market?"

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

  Butler smiled mysteriously and avoided talking. Instead, he said: "Look carefully, man, this is just the beginning. It's just a warm-up phase. The auction will be more enthusiastic later!"

The first round of auction lasted forty-five minutes and ended. A total of about one hundred tuna were sold. The largest one was only 600 pounds. The quality was ordinary in Qin Shiou’s eyes, but the price was good. This made him treat himself Fish King is full of expectation.

However, he noticed that Jingbian Aoyama and Tezuka Takata were not very active. Although they raised their hands several times, they did not take a fish in the end. It seems that their judgment is the same as Qin Shiou's. These fish are good, but the quality is also good. It's just not bad, not worthy of such a price.

  It was the Mori brothers who were out in the limelight. Without the two rivals Tezuka Kota and Inobe Aoyama to raise the price, they took more than half of the 100 fish.

  Ten minutes to rest, Butler asked Qin Shiou if he was going backstage to see. He said that the highlight of the auction was behind, and there were fifty big fishes in total.

  Qin Shiou curiously asked, “A total of one hundred and fifty fish? Isn’t the scale of this auction very large?”

  At the Tsukiji Market auction, 500 pieces of tuna can be sold at a time. In comparison, today’s auction is indeed a bit small.

  Butler didn’t think so. He smiled: “Of course, of course, my buddy, you see that the total turnover is more than two million euros. Isn’t such a large scale?”

Seeing Qin Shiou shrugging his shoulders in an unbelievable posture, Butler continued: "Man, the Amsterdam auction is the highest-end seafood auction house. It does not find enough tuna, but only accepts the best tuna. Make sure that every fish will be bought after entering the market."

  "In addition, if you follow this auction, you will find that so far, there has not been a single tuna sold here! Do you know how many tuna have flowed from here? Five thousand fish!"

  Qin Shiou was more convinced when Butler said this number. Not one of the more than 5,000 tuna was unsold. This shows that the status of this auction market in the seafood industry is indeed comparable to the Tsukiji market.

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

  The rest time was over, everyone returned, and the second round of the auction began. Butler winked at Qin Shiou and motioned to him to take a good look.

The auctioneer in this round of auctions was replaced by a veteran auctioneer who was about seventy years old. He had white hair and white beard, ruddy complexion, and wearing a neat vest and suit. Qin Shiou thought of Hamley when he saw him. The gentleman of the British brand.

  The old auctioneer made a crisp sound with the mallet, and someone dragged the cart out. This time it was not young people who came out, but two tall, slouched blonde beauties in bikinis.

  The tuna that came out this time is bigger, better in appearance, and looks very fresh. The light shines on the fish and moves slowly, and you can see a colorful halo flowing on the surface of the tuna.

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

  Brothers Mori, Tezuka Kota, Inobe Aoyama and the others looked at each other, the laziness on their faces was swept away, replaced by dignity and eagerness. (To be continued...)
