Chapter 182: Ginseng Auction (2/4)

As the people who "released the mountain" returned to their homes, the news that Jiagu had a hundred years of wild ginseng in his hands spread. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net

It is rumored that there are even thousands of years of ginseng, which is an absolute rare treasure.

Some people swear that Jiagu has encountered shit luck against the sky, and at least dozens of 100-year-old wild ginseng plants have been obtained-this kind of news is not very many people believe it, but really 100-year-old ginseng is a big radish, and there are dozens of plants?

In short, all kinds of gossip spread.

There is a consensus on this that there are indeed 100-year-old wild ginseng unearthed, and there is more than one, but the specific number has its own theory.

The people of Ji Province have always talked about this kind of strange story in the Changbai Mountains, and they are happy to guess how much money Jiagu has made.

Some fast-responding herb dealers came to the door and said that they wanted to buy the century-old wild ginseng at a high price.

There are also some agents of big bosses who are trying to make an offer to Jiagu to buy century-old wild ginseng.

The real best wild ginseng is often available but not available, and now there are real 100-year-old wild ginseng born, and well-informed people have rushed to Ji Province.

Subsequently, the first "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" auction jointly organized by the Ji Provincial Government and the Ji Provincial Ginseng Association was officially announced, and three century-old wild ginseng plants were released at the auction.

As soon as the news came out, all parties moved.

The auction of "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" held in Ji Province is to promote the Changbai Mountain ginseng brand and accelerate the development of the ginseng industry. Originally, it was planned to officially hold the first auction next year, but it coincided with the birth of the 100-year-old wild ginseng this year, so the first auction was pushed out.

Before the auction begins, all the lots are displayed on the cabinet for buyers to taste.

This year's "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" auction has a total of 20 ginseng ginseng auctions, including garden ginseng, moving ginseng and wild ginseng, of course, only those who are at least a few decades old are eligible to participate in the auction.

In the exhibition hall, the most popular thing is naturally the three century-old wild ginseng plants of Jiagu.

The three 100-year-old wild ginseng plants weighed 105 grams, 148 grams and 209 grams respectively, and the first two were assessed by Cao Bin to be more than 200 years old, and the latter was estimated to be more than 300 years old.

A group of old men with thick glasses gathered around, each holding a magnifying glass in their hands, desperately staring at these wild ginseng plants, eager to stuff them into their eyes.

South Korea's Park Chan-young also received an order from the domestic Tobacco and Ginseng Corporation to bid for at least the next century-old wild ginseng plant as the treasure of CheongKwanJang Zhuang.

He had been in contact with the agents in the Northeast, and as soon as the news of the auction was announced, he rushed over with the company's ginseng experts to see the goods.

The ginseng expert at CheongKwanJang is also Park Chan-young's teacher, and at this time, he is tasting ginseng and instructing Park Chan-young, "They are all wild ginseng, the same weight, but the price may be several times different, and the ginseng collection depends on the quality." ”

"I know that the collection of wild ginseng pays attention to the 'five forms' and 'six bodies'. The so-called 'five forms' refer to the reed head, textures, skin epidermis, whiskers, and body shape of wild ginseng, and the 'six bodies' refer to the spirit, stupidity, oldness, tenderness, horizontal, and shun of the taproot. Park Chan-young replied respectfully.

His teacher nodded with satisfaction, "Because the wild ginseng is older, it is impossible for the reed head to be as neat as the garden ginseng, and if the reed head grows particularly well, or even tender and brittle, it will definitely not be wild ginseng." ”

For comparison, the beard of wild ginseng is a long strip of whiskers with a lot of small millet pimples on it, while the whiskers of Yishan ginseng and garden ginseng are significantly whiter and more tender, and there are no small pimples.

"Those with particularly smooth skin, even whitish, are certainly not wild ginseng, and those with rough textures, shallow or incoherent lines are not too old wild ginseng. His teachers continue to pass on the experience.

"The key to the quality of ginseng is to look at the posture. What kind of ginseng is good to grow into is actually a matter of opinion. But generally speaking, the characteristic of 'old' wild ginseng will be present, but the value of the stupid wild ginseng and the smart wild ginseng are many times different. ”

"Ling" refers to the ginseng's delicate body, good-looking appearance, obvious body legs, and large leg bifurcation angles. "Stupid" means that the root shape of ginseng is straight, the body is clumsy, and even if it has two legs, the thickness or length of the legs is uneven.

After speaking, his teacher stared at the three hundred-year-old wild ginseng on display in confusion, and muttered to himself, "These three wild ginseng must be more than 100 years old, and Chinese experts have already made a conclusion." Whether it's 200 years or 300 years, it's hard for me to clearly define. Pure wild ginseng resources are extremely scarce, and it is rare that the five forms and six bodies of these three century-old wild ginseng are very perfect, and they are absolutely the best, which can be called the 'king of ginseng'. We've got to get a Sam King ...... this time."

Park Chan-young was really a little depressed after hearing the teacher's tasting.

The more perfect the wild ginseng in the auction, the more fierce the competition. He even saw his counterparts from the island country present, can he really win a century-old ginseng king?

......

No matter what the parties thought about it, the auction came as scheduled.

On the same day, the auction site brought together many people from home and abroad to participate in the bidding.

There are large domestic pharmaceutical dealers, wealthy agents from Hong Kong, Macao and other places, and collectors of precious medicinal materials from Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea......

According to industry estimates, the current national reserves of wild ginseng are only a few dozen kilograms, and the fresh wild ginseng that "appears" in the domestic market every year is only about six kilograms, and the finished sun-dried products are less than two kilograms. Rare is precious, not to mention the century-old wild ginseng that is the "king of herbs", which can be said to be a collection and luxury, and no one wants to miss it.

At the beginning of the auction, the first lot was a garden ginseng that was about 40 years old, which was already rare and many people were interested.

The starting price was 100,000 yuan, and after a less fierce auction, the high price was 230,000 yuan.

The auction continues.

The real big players are staring at the finale, so the previous auction is not too fierce, but the rising transaction price also slowly pushes the atmosphere of the scene to become warm, and as the finale approaches, a tense atmosphere spreads in the venue.

The auctioneer said, "This is a gift from nature, produced in the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain, with a dry weight of 105 grams, and the ginseng age is estimated to be more than 200 years, with a formal agency testing certificate...... Its starting price is 1.5 million yuan! 100,000 yuan each time!"

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, a chubby Northeast pharmacist immediately raised his sign and shouted, "1.7 million!"

"1.8 million!" An elegant middle-aged man immediately made an offer, and Guo Chunfa, chairman of Zixing Pharmaceutical, who had been promised by Qi Zheng, sat next to Qi Zheng, did not ask for a price, and introduced Qi Zheng in a low voice, "This person is from the capital and is an agent of a wealthy family." ”

"1.9 million!" "He is a collector of precious Chinese medicinal materials in Northeast China. ”

"2 million!" "This person is from Southeast Asia, and he has business dealings with many medicinal herb dealers on our side. ”

......

Qi Zheng happily watched these people bid while listening to Guo Chunfa's introduction.

The first hundred-year-old wild ginseng was sold at a high price of 5 million, and it was won by a merchant in Yue Province.

At this point, the atmosphere of the scene was completely ignited.

Next, a century-old wild ginseng tree that is more than 250 years old and weighs 148 grams was auctioned for a high price of 8.2 million yuan, which was won by a wealthy man in Southeast Asia.

And by the time the last century-old wild ginseng was auctioned, everyone was already red-eyed.

In the industry, "big goods" at the level of more than one million yuan are already unavoidable.

And the remaining wild ginseng that is more than 300 years old, the five forms can be so perfect, none of them are incomplete, and the whole reveals the compelling aura and domineering, which is really rare in a hundred years, and its appreciation, collection and medicinal tonic value are immeasurable.

The bidding for the "Sam Wang" with a starting price of 5 million yuan was quite fierce, and after many rounds of raising cards, the price soared, and the atmosphere that was almost exploding made Qi Zhengdu clench his hands.

In the end, the auction was successful at a high price of 13 million yuan, and it was won by the agent of a powerful tycoon on Hong Kong Island, becoming the "king of kings" in this "Changbai Mountain Ginseng King" auction, and also refreshed the price record of domestic precious Chinese herbal medicine collections.

"Bang bang!" Qi Zheng's voice of applause was particularly loud.

Others weren't in such a good mood and just clapped their hands politely.

Like South Korea's Park Chan-young, he is already disheartened. Once again, the task was not completed, and it was related to Kagu again......

The Northeast is simply ominous for him, I want to go home, I don't want to stay here......

No one paid attention to the lost man, including his teacher.

Anyway, more people feel regret.

At present, the circle of ginseng collection is still relatively closed, and the good goods in the hands of collectors and merchants are rarely displayed, and the liquidity of rare ginseng is still relatively small.

The ideal form is auction, which not only allows many rare ginseng to be rediscovered, but also facilitates the collector's realization. If you miss this time, you don't know if you will have the opportunity to encounter this treasure in the future, so most people are unwilling to leave.

Guo Chunfa of Zixing Pharmaceutical congratulated Qi Zheng, "Mr. Qi, congratulations, I made a small fortune." Moreover, Jiagu's reputation has also completely opened up in the ginseng industry and even the Chinese herbal medicine industry. ”

Qi Zheng accepted the congratulations with a smile, feeling that Guo Chunfa was really a smart person.

Although the auction price has set a new record, for Qi Zheng today, this is nothing, but the most important thing is to start Jiagu's name in front of insiders in the medicinal materials industry from all over the world.

The impact of this on Jiagu's entry into the medicinal materials industry cannot be seen in the short term, but it is definitely very beneficial in the long run.

At the same time, the frequent high prices of wild ginseng in the auction market is also a good thing for the ginseng industry, and the popularity of the collection market will reflect the value of ginseng and drive the appreciation of ginseng, which will ultimately benefit ginseng farmers and the ginseng industry.

Wild ginseng is popular in the collection market, which is also conducive to the rebranding of the ginseng industry and the healthy development of the ginseng industry.

The only problem is that it is estimated that next year's "mountain" people will be stimulated to the point of dizziness, and it is not known how many surviving wild people will participate in the meeting and be tragically excavated......
