181 Little Lessons
was politely rejected by Zeng Zhaoquan, although Huang Hanting was very disappointed, but still said: "50 years of wild ginseng, the medicinal effect is a little lower, I will not win people's love, if Mr. Zeng can receive more than 100 years of wild ginseng in the future, I am willing to buy it at a high price, the price is absolutely satisfactory to Mr. Zeng, or Mr. Zeng has other needs, you can negotiate." ”
Huang Hanting offered such a high condition, Zeng Zhaoquan was indeed a little tempted, but it was a pity that the two century-old ginseng plants in his hands had been bought by two big people, even if Huang Hanting offered several times the price, he would not be able to make this money.
He could only promise: "Centennial ginseng is too rare, it is hard to find, if we Tiansheng Pharmaceutical have the opportunity to get centennial ginseng in the near future, I will definitely notify Huang Lao in time, but sooner or later, it is really hard to say, please understand Huang Lao." ”
"It's already full of hospitality, then I'll say thank you first, as for the price, please rest assured that Mr. Zeng will be satisfied." After getting Zeng Zhaoquan's promise, Huang Hanting finally had a little more hope.
The two people talked, the price of the white jade God of Wealth statue has exceeded 10 million, and now there are still two people holding cards, but the frequency of raising cards has decreased a lot, and the potential for the price to continue to rise should not be large.
Huang Hanting has promised Zeng Zhaoquan that he will raise the price above 15 million, and when one of them raises a sign and shouts the price of 11 million, he also raises his card to bid for the first time.
He was worried that after the bidding, because the price was too high, no one would compete with him, so he directly raised the price to 15 million.
After Huang Hanting shouted out the price of 15 million, the venue suddenly quieted down, and the guests' eyes looked like table No. 1.
Huang Hanting was right, after he shouted the price of 15 million, because the price was too high, the other two people directly gave up the competition and stopped raising their cards to bid the price.
"Huang Lao at table No. 1 offered the first time!" Tang Qiyao was a little excited, this price had far exceeded the highest estimate, which showed that her level of guest auctioneer was still very high.
After waiting for a while, Tang Qiyao shouted loudly again: "15 million for the second time!"
Tang Qiyao raised the auction hammer and was just about to speak, when the white jade God of Wealth statue on the cart next to her suddenly "crackled", cracking a gap in the middle.
This sudden change came unexpectedly, Tang Qiyao's eyes widened, and she stood there stupidly, not knowing what to say.
The guests at the scene were also shocked by this sudden change, accidents on the auction floor occasionally happened, but a good Hetian jade statue suddenly cracked, this kind of thing, everyone has never heard of.
In front of everyone's eyes, this white jade statue of the God of Wealth obviously does not have any signs of man-made damage, and the statue of the God of Wealth suddenly cracked, the biggest possibility should be the problem of its own material.
Zeng Zhaoquan is a well-known and wealthy man, and the jade carving work he donated has such a problem, which has to make people wonder if this is a fake? Or is this jade carving a defective product with a problem?
Everyone looked at Zeng Zhaoquan at table No. 1 blankly, and the look in their eyes was either suspicious, sarcastic, or gloating, and they had everything in their hearts.
Zeng Zhaoquan's face sank like water, and the anger in his heart was about to explode, but he didn't know who to be angry with.
If it's just an ordinary auction that has this kind of accident, it's better to say that there is still a camera recording from Kyoto Satellite TV on the scene, and if this part is broadcast, then he will really be embarrassed and thrown across the country.
Even if he negotiated with Kyoto Satellite TV and didn't let this section be broadcast, there were still so many media reporters on the scene, it was impossible for him to put everyone in place, and there would definitely be negative effects.
Suddenly there was such a change, and Wang Xiaoxian had to come to the stage to save the scene in person.
He walked up to the stage quickly and said apologetically: "There will always be such and such accidents at the auction, but there will be no accidents in the spirit of charity, the statue of the white jade God of Wealth is temporarily removed, and the following is still a heavyweight lot - a wild ginseng donated by Chairman Yu Yuanzhang of Antai Pharmaceutical." The medicinal age of this wild ginseng is 120 years, the weight has reached an astonishing 103 grams, the starting price is 5 million, and the price increase must not be less than 50,000 yuan each time, and now the auction begins. ”
Originally, there were several ordinary lots of low value that were auctioned behind the statue of the White Jade God of Wealth, but in order to divert people's attention, Wang Xiaoxian had to bring the century-old ginseng that was to be auctioned later.
For the wealthy people present, the attraction of century-old ginseng is definitely much higher than the attraction of antique calligraphy and painting.
Bidding for antique calligraphy and paintings, either because of hobbies or for investment appreciation, is not a necessity and can be said to be dispensable. However, 100-year-old ginseng is definitely a necessity in the minds of the rich, no matter whether it will be used now, it is very likely to be used in the future, even if you can't use it, transfer it to a friend who needs it urgently, and you can also gain a huge favor.
It is precisely because of this idea that as long as the economic strength allows, the rich are enthusiastically raising their cards and bidding.
Looking at the guests who were holding up their cards one after another on the field, Zeng Kai felt very uncomfortable. It was originally a thing to show his face, but he lost an adult, Zeng Kai was really angry, and sneered: "Yu Yuanzhang is too good at acting, and the 120-year-old wild ginseng is willing to take it out, in order to promote Antai Pharmaceutical, he is really willing to give it up." ”
Antai Pharmaceutical is also a well-known pharmaceutical company in Kyoto, although it is far from being comparable with Tiansheng Pharmaceutical, but it is also a large enterprise with a market value of 30 billion, and Yu Yuanzhang is also a rich man who cannot be underestimated.
Both belong to large local pharmaceutical companies, and Antai Pharmaceutical and Tiansheng Pharmaceutical also have two flagship drugs with similar efficacy, so competition is inevitable.
It is not surprising that Zeng Kai spoke ill of him.
Zeng Zhaoquan has just made a fool of himself, and now his son is openly slandering people, and everyone here is a little disdainful.
Xiao Yao cracked the statue of Zeng Zhaoquan's white jade god of wealth, which can be regarded as teaching Zeng Zhaoquan's father and son a lesson. But in his opinion, this lesson is not enough, and the big moves that follow have to be planned slowly.
Others despised Zeng Kai's remarks, but they didn't want to offend their father and son, no one said anything, Xiao Yao didn't have this scruple, and said sarcastically: "It's really funny, Mr. Yu is willing to take out a hundred years of ginseng to do charity, which is something that everyone praises, but in the eyes of you Zeng Kai, it has become an ulterior motive, charity is not a show, it needs to be treated sincerely, Zeng always does medicine, and there is still a lack of understanding of the doctor's benevolence." ”
"You fart!" Zeng Kai was furious and looked at Xiao Yao viciously.
"Stop! You don't look at what the occasion is, and you don't say what you shouldn't say. Zeng Zhaoquan was very dissatisfied with his son's performance, and said in a stern tone.
