Chapter 40: Auction (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

The packaging box of the ginseng has been made, and it was mailed by the manufacturer in a package, although the production fee is a little more expensive than the small gift box, but it is worth the money, much more exquisite than the general packaging box, and the size is appropriate.

As a businessman, Zhang Cheng knows the truth that strange goods can be lived, and he thinks that the minimum price of this 10,000-year-old ginseng is 100 million. So he waited until the time came.

At the same time, he is also silently paying attention to the latest information of major auction houses in Jiangcheng and even H Province.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and one day a month later, Zhang Cheng waited for a great opportunity to make a move.

Jiangcheng's largest, oldest and most authentic Baoyuan auction house is going to hold a "special auction of medicinal herbs".

Zhang Cheng thinks that if a herb like ginseng is auctioned, it is best to auction it together with similar items, so that the preciousness of ginseng can be revealed, which is like a beauty, if there is a large group of women with ordinary appearance, then her beauty can be highlighted.

After learning the news, Zhang Cheng brought the ginseng to the Baoyuan Auction House, the appearance of the ginseng, so that the herb appraisers and auctioneers of the Baoyuan Auction House were shocked, they had seen the big ginseng, but the ginseng of the three-year-old child was really the first time to see it, and under the surprise, a group of appraisers surrounded the ginseng, just like the doctors who were consulting with the patient, and immediately identified the ginseng, cautious and cautious, serious and serious, so they were so cautious and serious, because they all couldn't believe that ginseng could grow so big, Or maybe they couldn't believe their eyes. Or, rather, they all think that the ginseng in front of them is fake.

However, in the end, the result of identification was that this ginseng was not only not fake, but also the top variety of ginseng.

Very rare! Very valuable!

Even the well-informed and thoughtful appraisers of medicinal materials burst out in exclamation at this time:

"How is this possible?"

"Tsk, this ginseng looks like it should be 10,000 years old......"

"Brother Guiqi, what you said is a bit exaggerated, how many years has the history of mankind been, and this reference can be earlier than the origin of mankind?"

"That's right, but it must be more than 5,000 years old."

"I think so, how many years has this ginseng, since it is auctioned at the auction house, it cannot be depreciated or praised, it can only be auctioned according to the age of 6,000 years, otherwise, once it exceeds the history of mankind, it will be too shocking, and in the end, not only can it not be auctioned, but it can also scare people away......" The white-haired appraiser, who had been silent, spoke, and directly stated the benefits.

"Well, I think that's the truth, and the low price can't be set too high, and it doesn't sell ......."

After some discussion, the staff of the auction house finally negotiated with Zhang and put forward the following suggestions: first, the ginseng age can only be said to be 6,000 years, and second, the reserve price can only be set at 100 million RMB.

Zhang Cheng thought about it and felt that it was very reasonable, if it was based on the age of 10,000 years, it was indeed a bit shocking and unrealistic, as for the reserve price, 100 million yuan RMB was originally in Zhang Cheng's expectations.

To put it mildly, if this 10,000-year-old ginseng is placed at home, it will be a traditional Chinese medicine that is more effective than radish for qi, so he doesn't plan to collect it.

After the wave of collecting fever in the society, antiques, jade, jewelry, calligraphy and painting have gradually become the field of vision of collectors, of course, medicinal herbs are no exception, as the king of all medicines, ginseng, especially the top variety of wild ginseng, is naturally a hot topic for medicinal herb collection.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng's 10,000-year-old ginseng will inevitably shine in this special auction of medicinal herbs. There is no doubt about that.

The morning of the auction. The Baoyuan auction hall flocked to the major radio stations, major newspapers, and website reporters in Jiangcheng, the auction site was full of herb collectors and convenient veterans, men in suits and leather shoes, women with exquisite makeup and good temperament, and old men with gray hair, and the world's most expensive watches occasionally exposed...... These people are from unknown backgrounds, but they are definitely not poor.

At nine o'clock in the morning, this unprecedented herb auction was held one after another, and it was in full swing.

"Bai Qinan agarwood 3 grams, the reserve price is three million."

With the auctioneer's shout, the waiter on the side held a piece of agarwood onto the stage.

"I'll give three million and three million."

"Three and a half million."

"Three million eight million."

"Four million."

"Four and a half million."

"Is there anyone who is offering a higher price...... 4,500,000 once, 4,500,000 twice, 4,500,000 three times...... Good...... Bai Qinan agarwood, 4.5 million transactions. ”

The auction hammer in the auctioneer's hand slammed down

……

A piece of agarwood, which was only 3 grams, was finally auctioned off at a price of 4.5 million.

"Millennial wild ginseng, weighing seven catties...... The reserve price is 10 million, and the auction will start now......" As the host shouted, the waiter brought a large ginseng to the front of the stage. This ginseng plant doesn't look like a whole plant, but like a combination of four ginseng plants, but they are connected together, although the size is quite amazing, but it looks a little indecent.

There are still quite a few bidders:

"I'll give 11 million."

"Twelve million ......"

"Thirteen million ......"

"Sixteen million." A white-haired old man shouted violently.

"Eighteen million eight hundred thousand!" A big fat man dressed as a businessman shouted, and secretly smug: "Damn, please ask for an auspicious number...... Good luck for the coming year. ”

After the big fat man finished shouting, there was no sound below. Further up the estimates are exceeded.

"Is there anything more expensive...... 18,800,000 once, 18,800,000 twice, 18,800,000 three times...... Deal! ”

A hammer to tell!

At this time, it was already the end of the auction, and the auctioneer suddenly paused, as if brewing emotions, and then, with a loud voice and an exaggerated expression, shouted: "Six thousand years of wild ginseng plant...... The reserve price is 100 million. ”

As these words were spoken, the waiter on the side struggled to hold a tray of eight-centimeter-long ginseng, which looked the size of a three-year-old child. The amazing thousand-year-old wild ginseng just now, compared to this one, is simply a small thing, just like a small wine cup compared to a big thick bowl. The disparity is too great. However, the thousand-year-old ginseng played a crucial role in Zhang Cheng's 10,000-year-old ginseng.

Suddenly, the audience was amazed, and after three seconds of silence, everyone erupted in incredible voices:

"Wow, that's big! Is there a mistake...... "A middle-aged man immediately made a skeptical voice.

"Isn't it, there's such a big ginseng?" A woman in her forties sitting in the back row lifted the myopia glasses on her eye sockets.

"It's incredible! If this parameter is true, according to its size, it should be tens of thousands of years! A veteran old man with gray hair and a red face muttered secretly.
