At a quarter past eleven, the auction finally ushered in the final finale.

In order to further create a bidding atmosphere and make the bidders crazy, not only did the big screen behind the front desk display a large picture of the wild ginseng and the appraisal certificate jointly issued by Huang Qingyuan and a number of authoritative experts in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, but also the auction house specially placed the wild ginseng on a table in the center of the front desk for bidders to line up to appreciate it up close, and the only requirement was that it was strictly forbidden to touch it.

This 200-year-old wild ginseng is not only beautiful in the "five shapes" of reeds, seeds, lines, body and beard, but also weighs 236 grams, and what is more stimulating is that when you watch it up close, you can also smell a faint fragrance, which makes people's spirits lift and feel refreshed unprecedentedly.

If the breath still has such an effect, the effect of the whole ginseng plant is unimaginable, and the bidders are all secretly determined to win, but no one shows it.

Because of the large number of people, and because everyone wanted to take a more look and smell more, the whole appreciation process lasted more than half an hour before it ended, and the next thing was the bidding.

As Huang Yingying quoted the reserve price and the bidding rules, dozens of bidders competed for bids, instantly pushing the reserve price of 6 million to 13 million, and without waiting for Huang Yingying to point to the highest bidder to prompt the audience, someone immediately quoted 15 million.

But this is definitely not the final price, Huang Yingying couldn't say a word in the next few minutes, her eyes frequently turned and looked at the people in the audience holding up signs to quote, and the price doubled again, pushing to a height of 30 million.

This height was obviously beyond the psychological price of most people, and they had to choose to give up, and in the end there were only four bidders left, including Mrs. Tsang, and one foreigner among the other three.

In the box, Manager Xu congratulated Li Dong and said that he might get 35 million, or even 40 million, Li Dong sighed that there are so many rich people now, Manager Xu said that he is also a rich man now, Li Dong shook his head and said that tens of millions of dollars can be called rich in Huajing, Manager Xu nodded thoughtfully.

After the two chatted about this meeting, the first bidder was a foreigner holding the No. 28 card, and the price was increased to 35 million in one bite, this momentum immediately scared off the No. 24 bidder, Manager Xu also smacked his tongue, and then changed his words and said that the final price would definitely far exceed his expectations just now, Li Dong smiled and said nothing.

Although the foreigner's momentum was very strong, Mrs. Zeng and another bidder No. 59 were unwilling to give up, and successively raised their cards and offered, adding two million to each person, and the price reached 39 million.

Bidder No. 28 paused for only a few seconds and added another million, Bidder No. 59 added another million, and Mrs. Zeng did not move, and Bidder No. 28 thought that they were almost at the end of the tree, and decided to scare them away in one go, and added five million again, and the price reached a height of 50 million.

Bidder No. 59 looked at Mrs. Zeng, who smiled, and then held up the sign and said, "Five thousand two million." ”

Bidder No. 59, who had just raised the number plate halfway through, suddenly paused, then put it down in a frustration, and gave up to Mrs. Tsang, while bidder No. 28 hesitated.

"Fifty-two million for the first time." The yellow warbler finally had a chance to speak.

Bidder No. 28 did not respond.

"Fifty-two million for the second time."

Bidder No. 28 was still hesitant, and a triumphant smile appeared on Madame Tsang's face.

"52 million"

"Fifty-seven million." At the moment when the yellow warbler raised the mallet, the bidder on the 28th finally broke out.

Mrs. Zeng was about to raise the card when her mobile phone moved, and when she took it to see that it was a text message from Li Dong, she was told to give up and stop fighting, although she was very reluctant and wondering, but Li Shenyi's words could not be ignored, so Huang Yingying shouted five thousand seven hundred three times and finally fell under the hammer.

Huang Yingying's last "57 million for the third time, sold" and the crisp sound of the small mallet when it fell fiercely stimulated the atmosphere of the scene, and the bidders, observers and auction house staff all shouted excitedly, and from time to time they cast envious and adoring glances at the No. 28 bidder, which made him get great spiritual satisfaction and felt that the money was worth it.

After deducting commissions and taxes, Li Dong received more than 50 million yuan, and then called Huang Yingying and Mrs. Zeng to have lunch together, during the banquet, Mrs. Zeng finally couldn't help but ask Li Dong why she stopped herself from continuing to bid.

Li Dong said: "Mrs. Zeng, in fact, that day I went to 'Baoyuantang' to sell medicinal materials, including more than a dozen wild ginseng, although the ginseng age is not as good as the auction plant, but it is also decades long, for Mr. Zeng, the effect is also obvious, the reason why I stopped you is because if you ask for the price again, the foreigner is likely to give up, you don't need to spend so much money, it is better to go to the 'Baoyuantang' in the afternoon and let Zhang Lao pick a few for you." ”

"I see." Mrs. Zeng said suddenly.

"Xiaodong, you still have medicinal herbs, and you went to other places to sell them behind my back?" Huang Yingying was not only surprised, but also looked dissatisfied in her tone, but it was easy for people to misunderstand her relationship with Li Dong when she said this.

No, Mrs. Zeng's face was full of surprise, her eyes secretly rolled back and forth between Li Dong and her, and Li Dong looked at Huang Yingying in a daze, wanting to see her true intentions from her eyes, but Huang Yingying hung her head shyly because she also reacted, so that he couldn't see it.

After a few seconds, Li Dong coughed lightly, and then explained: "Sister Ying, the age of those ginseng is at most fifty or sixty years, which is far inferior to today's auction. ”

Huang Yingying thought about it, and then asked about the quality and price of the medicinal materials peddling, Li Dong listed some, Huang Yingying listened and bowed slightly, and finally agreed with Li Dong's statement that the bid of "Baoyuantang" was fair.

After the meal, Mrs. Zeng went to the "Baoyuan Hall" by herself, Li Dong and Huang Yingying went back to school to report the auction to Huang Qingyuan in person, the latter was surprised and asked Li Dong how to use the money with so much money, Li Dong shook his head and said that he didn't know, so he would simply deposit it in the bank temporarily.

"Grandpa, what do you mean by this, do you mean that this ginseng and this money are Xiaodong's, not Uncle Zong's as he said before?" The yellow warbler finally reacted.

Saying that he leaked his mouth, Huang Qingyuan and Li Dong glanced at each other and nodded, Huang Yingying turned her head and stared at Li Dong for a few seconds before saying slightly angrily: "Liar." ”
