Chapter 65: The Auction House
Moreover, cultivation is not like the legendary one, which requires a lot of money to invest, such as this auction, if there are any good things in the cultivation world that are auctioned here, and there is no money, can it be bought back?
So Lin Qingyao decided to sell a ginseng plant first.
Lin Qingyao and Shao Jingming lied, saying that they were going to the bathroom, but they took advantage of this moment to sneak into the auction house connected to the hall.
"This young lady, do you need any help?" A warm voice sounded, Lin Qingyao looked up, and saw a man in front of him in a decent suit with a handsome face, appearing here, it should be the staff of Qin's Auction House, right?
Lin Qingyao said with a smile: "I have something and want to auction it." ”
"Then please come here." Saying that, the staff in a suit led Lin Qingyao to a room, it seems that it should be an appraisal room, after all, it is not someone who can come to the auction if he takes out something casually, the Qin Auction House will conduct the most basic screening.
In the room, there was a table horizontally, and the position opposite the table was empty, and after Lin Qingyao sat down, the handsome staff asked, "I don't know this young lady, what do you want to auction?" ”
Lin Qingyao smiled, knowing that this Qin's auction house would keep the identity of the customer secret, so she was not afraid of revealing anything, and took out a ginseng in a plastic bag directly from the handbag - of course she would not casually put the ginseng in her handbag, she was just using this small handbag as a cover, in fact, she took out the ginseng from the storage bag.
She couldn't enter the space casually, so she put some things into the storage bag early, so there was this scene today.
The man in the suit looked at the cheap plastic bag that Lin Qingyao took out, and was slightly stunned, but it was obvious that this was a well-bred man, he smiled and motioned for Lin Qingyao to put things on the table, and did not reach out to pick it up.
Of course, he didn't reach out to pick it up, not because he looked down on this thing, but because the auction house has the rules of the auction house, such a place, the most afraid is to touch the porcelain, who knows if this is a fragile item, after one person puts it away, the other person will get his hands on it, if it is really broken, everyone can also say clearly.
Although Lin Qingyao had never been to the auction house, she had also heard Baotong say some of the Taos, so she naturally understood, she reached out and untied the plastic bag, revealing the white and chubby ginseng inside.
When the man in the suit saw this ginseng, his forehead couldn't help but jump, this ginseng ...... If he is not mistaken, I am afraid that there are many years, and now she is pretending to be like this at will, it is simply ......
The man in the suit picked up the ginseng, carefully rubbed it, and then pressed one of the several buttons on the auction table.
After a while, an old man in a casual tunics came.
"Xiao Qin, what are you looking for me?" After the old man came in, he saw the man in the suit at a glance.
The man in the suit gestured with his hand to the things on a table, and the old man was slightly stunned when he saw the things on the table, and was very surprised, so he hurriedly went around to the back of the table, and then looked at it carefully.
Finally, he said in a somewhat excited tone: "This ginseng ...... It's been 300 years! ”
Then he asked, "Female doll, are you going to auction this ginseng?" ”
Lin Qingyao nodded: "Please also ask the old gentleman to give a fair estimate." ”
The reserve price is not set arbitrarily, but is appraised by the auction house, and the two parties jointly negotiate the auction reserve price.
The old man groaned for a moment, and then said, "Three million." ”
When Lin Qingyao heard this price, she was slightly stunned, and she was speechless for a while.
The old man thought that Lin Qingyao was disgusted with the low price, so he explained: "This is just the reserve price, if the reserve price is set too high, it will discourage some people, so that the atmosphere of competition is not so fierce, but it is not easy to sell at a good price." ”
Lin Qingyao came back to her senses, where did she dislike the low price, but she didn't expect that her ginseng that she took out casually could be sold for so much money, thinking of the ginseng that could be seen everywhere like radishes in her space, Lin Qingyao was a little unsettled, and her feelings were ...... Grow ginseng yourself and become a rich woman?
However, Lin Qingyao just thought about it, the so-called strange goods can live, if she takes out all the ginseng and sells it, there will definitely not be such a good price, besides, one or two plants, she also explained the past, if she takes out too much ginseng, it will be to bring trouble to herself!
She must use the space, but the premise is that it must be protected under the condition that she can protect it! There is no absolute strength now, she has to be careful.
Lin Qingyao pretended to be calm and said: "Then this price, in order to prevent necessary trouble, please keep my identity secret for me." ”
The old man wanted to put away the ginseng at the moment, but when he looked at the plastic bag, the corners of his mouth twitched obviously, and then he scolded Lin Qingyao is head and face: "You female doll, you are really a loser!" It's a terrible thing! If you store ginseng like this, the essence of ginseng will be lost! ”
Lin Qingyao could see that the old man was straight-tempered, and he was not angry, so he said with a smile: "Old man, don't be angry. ”
The old man saw Lin Qingyao's face, "I have been taught, I accept it with an open mind." He was very satisfied, so he said a few more words: "This kind of ginseng, packed in a jade box, is the most suitable." ”
Lin Qingyao was quite helpless in her heart, she wanted a jade box, and some elixirs used for alchemy were also to be packed in jade boxes, but how much did that jade box cost? Where does she have the spare money to buy?
Lin Qingyao thought that she would use the pill in the future and need to buy spirit grass, she was a little sad, and now she couldn't even solve a few jade boxes...... The goal of this Spirit Seeking Grass Alchemy seems to be a little far away......
When Lin Qingyao came back, he was sent back by "Xiao Qin", Lin Qingyao didn't want him to send it, but he said that he had something to do here, Lin Qingyao had to walk back with him, Shao Jingming was anxiously looking for Lin Qingyao at the moment.
At this moment, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked over: "Qing Yao! ”
Lin Qingyao smiled at Shao Jingming.
Shao Jingming saw "Xiao Qin" next to Lin Qingyao. With a guard in his eyes, he pulled Lin Qingyao with one hand, and said to Xiao Qin with the other: "Master Qin, why are you with Qingyao?" ”
Lin Qingyao didn't notice Shao Jingming's name of "Xiao Qin" at the moment, but raised her heart, for fear that Qin Gongzi would tell Shao Jingming that he was going to sell ginseng, and there was nothing to see in this matter, but Lin Qingyao still felt that more things were better than less things, and if the origin of ginseng was explained at that time, it would inevitably be a lie.
