The construction of the third soybean deep processing industrial park in Hei Province is in full swing, and in the next door in Ji Province, another grand event related to Jiagu - the "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" auction is also entering a climax.

This year happens to be the 10th "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" auction, and it is rumored that there will be a number of century-old wild ginseng plants for auction at this auction.

The auction of "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" has made a name for itself at home and abroad, and as soon as such news came out, the auction was full of people.

The auction site is very large, with a stack of bidding cards on small tables and chairs. The bidders participating in the auction sat at a small table like students waiting for an exam.

"Surprisingly shabby. At the junction of the audience and the auction seat, Wang Ting, a photojournalist from Phoenix.com who just graduated this year, fiddled with his camera and couldn't help complaining.

Reporter Li Jiawen on the side looked at the representatives participating in the auction, guessed the power they represented, and replied casually: "As long as the ginseng is good, few people who participate in the auction will care about the environment." ”

Wang Ting pondered about this reason, and then asked with great interest: "Brother Li, you say, will there really be a century-old ginseng auctioned later, and what will be the sky-high price?"

Li Jiawen retracted his gaze and smiled: "There must be a century-old ginseng." In the past nine Samwang auctions, at least one century-old wild ginseng has been auctioned in each session, and this year is the 10th anniversary, and it is estimated that more than one century-old wild ginseng has appeared. As for whether the auction price will break the record, it depends on how good the 'Sam King' is participating in the auction. ”

While speaking, the bidding host has already stood on the stage.

The leader's speech has long been impatient, so the host announced the start of the auction in three or two clicks.

The atmosphere of the scene instantly became hot.

Wang Ting seemed to be infected, slightly nervous, and subconsciously pinched the camera.

Seeing this, Li Jiawen said in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, the first half is just an appetizer, and the second half is the main event......"

As he said, the first half of the auction was started from more than ten years of moving mountain ginseng, although it also sold a high price of more than 20,000 yuan, but it is obvious that many representatives in the auction table did not make a move at all, waiting for the real treasure.

Of course, as the ginseng in the auction gets older and older, the auction room is like a powder keg, which ignites at the touch of a button.

Therefore, the second half was white-hot from the beginning.

As soon as a wild ginseng weighing about 30 grams and just over 100 years old came out at a starting price of 1.5 million, fierce competition was launched by all parties, and the price continued to rise, 2 million, 2.5 million, 3 million...... In the end, it was sold at a price of 4.35 million.

The audience was amazed.

Not to mention the audience, Wang Ting and Li Jiawen were stunned.

Compared to the small fight in the first half, the second half exploded as soon as it started. Many representatives who failed in the auction saw this sky-high price, and their faces turned green.

Wang Ting's mouth was numb: "According to each gram, the average price is two or three hundred times that of gold, is it really worth it?"

Li Jiawen almost held his breath, and replied without thinking: "It's worth it." Do you kid think that wild ginseng is a garden ginseng that can only be used in pharmaceutical factories to extract ginsenosides? The dried wild ginseng that appears every year is less than 4 catties, not to mention the hundreds of years of wild ginseng, and it is not a joke that it is priceless in the market. ”

The auction will not stop because of the audience's round eyes, and the second half of the show is all good ginseng from the previous year, the so-called "last year", at least more than 50 years, and the lowest transaction price is more than 1 million.

Wang Ting licked his lips, and it took a long time to calm down a little, and he pointed the camera at the fanatical participant.

"Damn, isn't that a foreigner?"

"What's wrong with foreigners?" Li Jiawen looked at Wang Ting's line of sight, only to see a few Europeans and Americans frequently holding up signs.

"Don't Europeans and Americans don't believe in the medicinal effects of ginseng?" Wang Ting blurted out.

Li Jiawen smiled: "Who said that?"

"Didn't you say that the United States Pharmacopoeia and the United States National Pharmacopoeia all deleted ginseng? Like the American Medical Federation and the Canadian Medical Federation, they don't recognize the medicinal value of ginseng?"

Li Jiawen pouted and said: "The curative effect that so many of us have used for hundreds or thousands of years has been said by the West to be no, and then it really doesn't work? What was used to treat diseases before the advent of Western medicine? Moreover, many new drugs and antibiotics have not been extracted and learned from living things? Could it be that human beings themselves have come up with this compound to cure diseases?"

"I didn't expect Brother Li, you are still a supporter of traditional Chinese medicine. ”

Li Jiawen shook his head and said: "I'm not a supporter of traditional Chinese medicine, it's just that I think everything has its value, and ginseng is the same." When you really dig into the study of a species, you will find the meaning of the phrase 'when man thinks, God laughs,' and there is so little that we can grasp and understand. Moreover, people who say that ginseng has no medicinal effect must not have heard a single piece of news......"

"What's the news?" Wang Ting couldn't even bother with the fierce auction for a while, and asked with his ears pricked up.

"It's the 6th Samwang Auction, an old rich man in Singapore photographed the only 100-year-old wild ginseng for postoperative recuperation, guess what?"

Without waiting for Wang Ting to answer, Li Jiawen said enviously and jealously: "The old rich man who had surgery was conditioned to be red, and it is said that his white hair has turned black, and the nourishing effect has made the eyes of famous American doctors fall off." ”

This is not an anecdotal case, but a real case. Although there is no public publicity, as a journalist, the news channels are naturally smoother than ordinary people.

Li Jiawen said inexplicably: "Since then, the century-old wild ginseng king has become famous in the world's rich class. You say that Westerners don't believe in the medicinal effects of ginseng? I dare say that at least one-third of the representatives in it are the spokesmen of the rich in the West. What is the price of seven or eight figures, there are many rich people in their seventies and eighties who want to hang their lives. ”

Wang Ting listened to the legendary story, swallowed his saliva, and his burning eyes couldn't help but aim at the wild ginseng participating in the auction.

I can't afford to eat, so I can take advantage of it to see it twice.

In the increasingly violent auction atmosphere, this year's "Sam King" debuted.

The host said in an impassioned tone: "The weight is 152.2 grams, the quality is excellent, and the ginseng age is more than 500 years after authoritative identification." Ladies and gentlemen, this is a well-deserved best among the previous kings, and there is no such shop in this village after that...... The starting price is - 10 million yuan!"

"Boom!" The atmosphere at the scene was truly ignited.

Just the starting price has set a new auction price record for precious Chinese herbal medicines.

At this point, buyers with poor strength have become a luxury to even raise their cards to bid.

The real buyers have already killed the red eye.

Even reporters are red-eyed as they record the bidding prices that keep hitting new highs.

In a few breaths, the price went up to 15 million.

After a few more breaths, the bidding price gorgeously exceeded 20 million, and the price increase slowed down, but it still stubbornly climbed upward.

"27 million! 27 million! Is there anything else to increase the price?" who else ......" the host's voice was a little hoarse, "27 million once, 27 million twice, 27 million twice three times, deal!"

With the fall of the host's gavel, the dust of "Sam Wang" has settled!

Li Jiawen and Wang Ting glanced at each other, took a long breath, and felt a little prostration.

At this time, the Internet has completely fried the pot.

This year's "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" auction also opened a live broadcast on the Internet.

It's okay to say in the first half, ridiculous, envious, netizens are still a little calm.

After the start of the second half, netizens who watched the live broadcast only felt that even the traffic smelled of money.

"Isn't that really hype?"

"Upstairs, what do you know? Money is always there, but it's not always good, and rich people are more afraid of death than you think. ”

"Hundred-year-old ginseng is easy to become fine, and it is easier to fetch a sky-high price!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to dig ginseng!"

"By the way, why should we, who can't even afford ginseng, be hurt again and again by this heart-piercing show of wealth?"
