Chapter 530: Imperative
The auction of the golden needle is over, and there are still six auction items left before the 300-year-old wild ginseng.
Although the entire auction hall was noisy, Shi Chen could still hear the sound of vehicles approaching outside.
If the guess is correct, those people should be the thugs called by the people in this auction hall.
In order to snatch the auction items that they each fancied, but did not have an auction.
Shi Chen was not interested in the auction items after that, so he simply sat on the sofa and looked at the medical book he had just gotten.
Some of the ages can be clearly seen in the whole medical book, and the yellowed paper silently tells the quiet passage of time.
As soon as I opened the first page, I could smell a quaint smell, and there were four big characters on it - "Ming Detective Medical Book".
Gently wiping the dust on it, Shi Chen looked at it casually.
The first part of the book, as the auctioneer said, was about ordinary pathologies and treatments.
This kind of content is recorded in every medical book, so Shi Chen directly chose to ignore it.
What he was really interested in was the few prescriptions that had never been seen before.
After turning over the whole book, Shi Chen finally found ten prescriptions on the last three or four pages.
Each recipe is described in detail, even the year in which each herb was selected and the water quality required to make the decoction.
"What's this prescription?"
Although Shi Chen has a deep knowledge of this aspect, ordinary prescriptions can be recognized at a glance.
But what is recorded in this medical book, Shi Chen pondered for a long time, and he didn't know what it was used to treat.
After thinking about it for a long time and still not figuring it out, Shi Chen could only give up temporarily.
Reading the kung fu of medical books, the fifth auction item has arrived at the venue, which is an old Dan furnace.
Shi Chen just glanced at it, lacking interest, so he closed his eyes and rested.
Until noon, in the gradual whispering of everyone, the three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng was taken out.
It can be said that more than half of the people present want to get their hands on it, including Shi Chen.
Seeing the wild ginseng, Lin Baicao hurriedly touched Shi Chen, who was resting, "Xiao Chen, it's here." ”
Hearing Lin Baicao's words, Shi Chen opened his eyes and just saw the staff holding a delicate box and walking to the auction table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the finale of this auction, 300-year-old wild ginseng. I know that everyone here is interested in it, and without further ado, start bidding directly, with a starting price of 50 million, and each increase shall not be less than 1 million, and the highest price will win!"
The auctioneer carefully took the wooden box and placed it on the table in front of him, and then spoke with relief.
Not to mention the value of wild ginseng, this wooden box alone is top-grade sandalwood, worth more than 100,000 Chinese coins.
"Fifty million!"
Those who didn't have much money off the field chose to give up as soon as they heard this.
If the starting price is 50 million, the final transaction price will definitely not be lower than 80 million, and even reach a terrifying figure of 100 million.
This price is very common in auction houses, but it is usually used to auction some antique artifacts or bid for land, and it is rare for medicinal herbs to reach this price.
After suffering the loss just now, it is obvious that Zhao Quan has been a lot more honest and does not dare to make any more casual moves.
And he only has less than 10 million left, and even if he wants to make a move, he doesn't have that capital.
"Are you ready to do it?" Lin Baicao glanced at Shi Chen with some concern, this price had exceeded everyone's expectations, but I was afraid that Shi Chen's pressure would be great.
Shi Chen leisurely cocked Erlang's legs, "Don't worry, let's take a look first." ”
It's useless to shoot in front, it's better to wait and see what happens, and you can see how many people have thoughts about wild ginseng.
"Fifty-one million!" The first person to speak was the chairman of a certain group in the Japanese Kingdom, who heard that some new type of medicinal materials were being developed recently.
"Fifty-five million!"
"Fifty-seven million!"
Some people opened their mouths to bid one after another, and many of them still did not dare to raise signs after gritting their teeth.
"Sixty million. ”
Shi Chen felt that it would be almost the time, and shouted directly.
With his current liquidity, let alone 60 million, even 600 million can be obtained.
However, most of the people who participated in the auction were bound to win, and the gap of several million was not willing to give up at all.
They are not as arrogant as Shi Chen, so they can only choose the most conservative way to increase the price, lest Shi Chen suddenly abandon the auction and put them together like the set of golden needles in the auction just now.
"Sixty-one million. ”
"62 million"
"Six thousand...... Sixty-three million!"
The bidders raised their cards one by one, but their eyes were all fixed on Shi Chen, alerting him to raise the price at any time.
In the inquiring eyes of everyone, Shi Chen remained motionless, indifferently waiting for everyone's offer.
No matter how much they produce, today, this wild ginseng is bound to be obtained!
Shi Chen adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and casually held up the sign, "Ninety million." ”
The audience was in an uproar, although everyone came for the wild ginseng, but they were all conservative offers, and no one was so arrogant!
"This person is crazy, isn't he? Ma Dan, he actually raised the price to 90 million?"
"I don't know, maybe it's the childcare invited by the auction, seeing that we are interested, deliberately singing and inflating the price. ”
"Yes, yes, we all saw the set of gold needles just now, and the pen was fooled, and it cost more than 40 million!"
"That's it, we can't be fooled by this! This person looks dignified, he didn't expect his psychology to be so dark, he actually wants to set us up, hum, what a thing!"
Not to mention these bidders, even the host who presided over the auction was stunned on the spot.
He looked at the sandalwood box on the table in disbelief, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, this wild ginseng is actually worth 90 million?
Zhao Quan changed his decadence just now, stared at Shi Chen with resentful eyes, clenched his fists and cursed loudly, "Boy, do you still want to trick your grandfather into bidding?" Hmph, I see how you can come up with these 90 million!"
"That's it," Zhao Gaoshuai nodded, "He's here to stir up the scene at all, 90 million, I don't think he can take out 90,000 yuan!"
There was a commotion in the venue, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Chen, and they all followed him to see that he couldn't get the money and looked embarrassed in public.
The rules are similar for all auctions, but all attendees must pay a sufficient deposit in case anyone causes trouble during bidding.
If Shi Chen auctions the lot at the highest price, but in the end he can't get the money, not only will all the security deposits be deducted, but he will also face the disaster of being accused in prison.
Shi Chen didn't care about everyone's doubts, but Lin Baicao, who was sitting with him, was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
He looked at Shi Chen worriedly and asked in a low voice, "Little friend Shi Chen, you have made a big mistake now." If you can't get 90 million, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of today's auction hall. ”
