Chapter 170: Old Things
Wantanghui, the largest auction venue in Jiangbei, often auctions some top medicinal materials and precious antiques, not only in Jiangbei, but also has its branches all over the country, and it is said that the boss behind the scenes is a big family in Beijing.
Those who are qualified to enter here are all powerful people in Jiangbei, because the items auctioned here are often tens of millions.
Gu Chen and Wen Manxue soon came to the door of the Wantang Society, and there were already many people at the door at this moment, most of them were coming for the thousand-year-old ginseng.
The two quickly followed the crowd into the venue.
There are hundreds of seats in the entire Wantang Society, and some VIP sofas in the front row, where only the top giants can sit.
Although Gao Ting's status is not low, she has no connections in Jiangbei, and she only found a position in the middle of two ordinary seats for Gu Chen and Wen Manxue, but the two of them didn't care.
About ten minutes later, the surrounding seats were full, and the lights of the whole venue suddenly focused on the auction table, and everyone instantly fell silent.
The auction started as scheduled.
At this moment, a woman wearing a red dress, a sexy figure and a beautiful appearance walked out slowly on the auction table.
"This, it's actually Miss Zhuang Ming?"
"I didn't expect that Miss Zhuang would personally preside over this auction today. ”
"Yes, I heard that Miss Zhuang is now the vice president of the entire Wantang Association, and she actually appeared here today?"
Zhuang Ming stood in front of everyone, with a smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Welcome to Wantanghui to participate in today's auction, today's auction has prepared a lot of surprises for everyone, without further ado, the auction begins." ”
Gu Chen looked at the woman on the stage, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Why is it? I didn't expect to be able to meet acquaintances here." ”
"What do you say?"
"No, I said I haven't been to the auction yet, so I'm here for a long time today. ”
Zhuang Ming on the stage clapped his hands, and two men in suits and white gloves walked up carrying a vase.
"Hello everyone, this is the first item today, the Qing Dynasty's ancient green glazed flower and bird vase, the starting price is 10 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 1 million each time. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped, today's first item is actually worth tens of millions, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of highlights in the future.
Gu Chen muttered: "What a broken bottle, it's worth tens of millions." ”
"Cut, you know what, it's an antique, it's priceless. ”
Gu Chen stopped talking, and a few minutes later, the first item was auctioned for eighteen million.
Some of the items that appeared after that were basically some antiques and some medicinal materials, although they were all valuable, they were not rare, and they did not arouse Gu Chen's interest.
A moment later, a rusty iron box was lifted up, with some strange runes on it, and Gu Chen's eyes lit up instantly.
Because he had seen this kind of rune when he was fighting in Cisse before, it was from the antiques unearthed by Cisse.
How could something from the West Ce appear in Jiangbei?
Gu Chen's eyes revealed a trace of doubt, and then he remembered the key that Yang Ying gave him before, could it be that this is the treasure chest unearthed from that ancient tomb?
Gu Chen had been asking Hei Jun to track down clues about the treasure chest, although Hei Jun's information was extraordinary, but there had been no clues, Gu Chen suspected that someone had taken the treasure chest.
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked closely, there was a keyhole in front of the treasure chest, which matched the key that Yang Ying gave him before!
Gu Chen's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, there was nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it, he didn't expect that he would be able to meet the treasure chest here.
"This is a treasure chest unearthed from the Cisse Sea, according to our expert investigation, it may have been unearthed in the ancient country of the Western Regions, but no matter what, we can't open the treasure chest, but I believe that the treasure chest must contain valuable treasures. ”
After the introduction, everyone looked at the treasure chest on the stage curiously.
"Mysterious treasure chest, starting price, 100 million. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Although everyone here is rich today, they are still shocked, this is 100 million!
Buy a treasure chest with 100 million, and you can't open it, even if there are any shocking treasures in it, it's not worth it, and if you can't take it out, it's worthless, and no one can guarantee that there are really any treasures in it.
Gu Chen's eyelids also jumped, one hundred million, this Zhuang Ming really dared to ask for a price.
"What are you kidding, 100 million to buy an empty box, it's almost crazy?"
"yes, what if I can't open it when I buy it, or if I open it and I don't have anything?"
Zhuang Ming heard the following discussions, and immediately said: "If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't open this item, I really didn't plan to auction it, if you think the price is too high, it's okay, leave it to someone who is destined." ”
Gu Chen muttered in his heart, obviously it was reserved for the rich.
"Ladies and gentlemen. ”
At this moment, an old man stood up on the position closest to the auction table, wearing a white Tang costume and long hair, turned to look at the people behind him, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Under Yu Meng, this treasure chest The old man is particularly interested, the old man bid 110 million, please give me a face, don't bid." ”
"What?
"Why is he here?"
"Presumably, it is also for today's thousand-year-old ginseng. ”
Gu Chen looked at Wen Manxue beside him with some confusion and said, "Wife, who is this Yu Meng?"
"Yu Meng also has a great reputation in the Chinese medicine community in our southwest provinces and regions, and he is the most famous Chinese medicine doctor in Jiangbei, and his medical skills should not be lower than that of a thousand divine doctors. ”
"Oh?"
"Although Jiangbei is not as famous as Hangzhou, there are also many famous doctors, this Yu Meng is one of them, and the traditional Chinese medicine circles in Jiangbei and Hangzhou are a little different. Hangcheng pays more attention to tradition, for example, the ancestor of the Wanshen Doctor is the famous doctor of Hangzhou, and now the granddaughter of the Wanshen Doctor is also the most prestigious doctor in the younger generation. ”
Wen Manxue continued to explain: "But Jiangbei is different, Jiangbei's traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have their own factions, and if they want to be recognized by everyone, they must use their medical skills to defeat other Chinese medicine. ”
It's just that he and the Divine Doctor are stronger or weaker has always been a topic of debate in the outside world. ”
Gu Chen touched his nose, he didn't expect that there would be so many messy doorways in a Chinese medicine world.
Originally, there were still many rich people who were a little interested in this treasure chest, but at this moment, as soon as Yu Meng exited, everyone was quiet.
But just when everyone thought that there was definitely no one to compete with Yu Meng, a name suddenly came to mind in the venue.
"One hundred and two million. ”
Everyone turned their heads to look at Gu Chen, their faces changed suddenly, what kind of joke.
Yu Meng nodded and asked for this treasure chest, this kid actually dared to bid, didn't this make it clear that he wanted to go against Yu Meng?
