As expected by the judges of the organizing committee, when Zhong Huan and their seven seedling orchids stopped voting, the votes of tourists were really scattered, after all, the gap between other orchids was not so big. However, even after the voting was terminated, there was still no sign of a decrease in the number of tourists in front of the seven orchids, many tourists were taking pictures around the orchids, and even more people took selfies with the seven orchids and butterflies in the background.

All the average tourist wants is an orchid group photo. And those orchid garden owners and wealthy people who are waiting to participate in the auction want to keep the seven seedlings of orchids for themselves. So one by one, they held back their strength, prepared a lot of money, and waited to fight at the auction.

The morning passed quickly, and at 12 o'clock at noon, the exhibition hall was temporarily closed, and the staff entered the venue to start counting the votes and preparing for the award in the afternoon. And the exhibitors who have been in front of the orchid all morning, Lan You and the boss of the Orchid Garden can also breathe a sigh of relief and eat something at this time.

"Whew~ I didn't expect so many people to come today. I've been nervous this morning. ”

Peng Lei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the security guards clearing the scene. During the four hours of the exhibition, he was no more relaxed than the security guards who maintained order, and he was always taking care of the orchids, for fear that the orchids would be damaged.

"What are you nervous about? I see that my senior sister is busy. There were not 1,000 but 800 people who accosted her this morning. Zhong Huan teased.

"Hmph~ If it weren't for the propaganda I was helping you out, I wouldn't be so tired. If I put on my usual face, see who dares to come and vote. ”

Su Ke is a well-known ice queen in school, and she always looks like she is not approached by anyone with a strained face. Only those who are familiar with her know that it is not her nature, it is just a means to get rid of the boys' entanglement. Today, as the owner of the orchid to participate in the orchid fair, of course, she can't put on a stinky face, she can only be approachable, with a charming smile on her face all the time, which simply makes those single male tourists crazy.

"It's really hard senior sister, I'll invite you to dinner later." Zhong Huan said with a smile.

"Xiao Zhong, there is not much time at noon, so I don't need you to treat you. The organizing committee ordered a boxed lunch, and I asked for one for everyone. Let's make do with some food first, and when the auction is over in the afternoon, Xiao Zhong and Xiao Peng have made a lot of money, let's have a good meal and celebrate. ”

Yin Jia was so happy today. In the past, the Donghai Lanxi Association of the Lanchang was a supporting role, and it was okay to praise it at the auction, so don't even think about winning the award. This time it can be regarded as raising eyebrows.

"Lao Yin is right, it should be celebrated. It's the first time that our orchids in the East China Sea have won the Special Gold Award, and they have won the award in advance, which is so enjoyable. Lao Wang, how much do you estimate that these pots of orchids can be auctioned in the afternoon? Gong Shou was also excited at the moment, this happiness came too suddenly.

"Sky-high! And it's a sky-high price that can be in the national news. ”

Wang Haosheng is very familiar with the orchid market, and from the popularity of these pots of flowers at the time of the exhibition, it can be inferred that the auction price is not low. But he can't say exactly how much he can sell.

The group chatted while walking, and after receiving a boxed lunch from the organizing committee, they found a shady lawn in the park for a picnic on the spot. During the meal, everyone was still talking about the grand occasion of the flower show in the morning, and they were obviously in an excited mood.

Since the orchid exhibition hall is to be open to visitors, it should not be closed for too long, so as not to disappoint visitors. An hour later, the organizing committee counted the votes and selected 100 pots of winning orchids.

The Orchid Fair is mainly based on orchid trading, supplemented by exhibition selection. So there was no grand award ceremony, but the organizer Jiangcheng Orchid Association read out the list of winners. When the exhibition hall reopened in the afternoon, all the ballot boxes in front of the orchids were gone. Instead, there are trophies, certificates, and medals for the winning orchids. As for the orchids that did not win awards, naturally there were no such honors.

Zhong Huan and the winners, were gathered by the organizing committee after eating and began to prepare for the next auction. As the winners, the orchids have the right of first auction, but they can also choose not to participate in the auction, and the organizing committee must first confirm the winners' auction intentions before starting the auction.

"Mr. Zhong, are you going to participate in the auction of this pot of Great Cangshan Strange Butterflies?"

Kan Youchang was a little nervous when he asked, because several judges and big bosses had already said that they were bound to win this orchid. If Zhong Huan is like Su Zhengping, he will die.

"Of course! President Kan doesn't have to ask one by one. Our seven pots of orchids are not for sale, except for Grandpa Su's pot, and the rest are auctioned. My requirement is that the reserve price cannot be less than 500,000. ”

Zhong Huan's reserve price was set by Wang Haosheng for him. Zhong Huan came to the Orchid Fair this time to sell orchids at a good price and at the same time promote his flower company. Now that the purpose of the propaganda has been achieved, the task of making money remains.

"No problem! Thank you Mr. Zhong for his strong support to this year's Lanzhou Fair. I'll arrange it right away. ”

Kan Youchang wiped his sweat and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seven of the 10 pots of special gold medal orchids selected this time are from the East China Sea, and the other three are from other provinces and cities. The owners of the three pots of orchids gave up the auction this time without exception. There is only one reason, that is, the performance of the seven pots of orchids in Donghai City is too eye-catching.

To say that the other three pots of award-winning orchids are also in good condition, if there is no competition from the seven pots of orchids in the East China Sea, it will definitely be the focus of the rich bidders. Now that there are Zhong Huan's seven pots of orchids, those most powerful buyers will definitely not pay attention to the other three pots of orchids. Even if these three pots of orchids participate in the auction, I am afraid that they will not be able to bid for a good price, so the owner of the orchid simply gave up the auction and wanted to wait for a better opportunity to make a sale.

The other three pots of award-winning orchids and Su Zhengping have all abandoned the auction, if Zhong Huan's six pots of orchids do not participate in the auction, it will be equivalent to the special gold award orchids all abandoned the auction. This auction is not interesting. Kan Youchang was most afraid of this situation, so when Zhong Huan confirmed to participate in the auction, he was so excited.

After receiving Zhong Huan's reply, the organizing committee immediately began to decorate the auction hall. At the same time, all buyers who intend to participate in the auction are notified to take their seats in the auction room.

According to the auction rules, the auction is conducted in batches. The special gold award orchids are auctioned first, the next batch is the gold award orchid, then the silver award orchid, then the bronze award orchid, and finally the non-winning orchid. The advantage of this is that the buyers have a purpose, otherwise all the buyers will be crowded into the auction hall at one time and will not be able to sit at all.

There were only six Truce Gold Award orchids in the first batch to participate in the auction, and it stands to reason that there should be the fewest buyers. But when Zhong Huan and his party entered the auction hall, they found that the hall was already full. If it weren't for the organizing committee moving a lot of stools to add seats, many people would have to stand to participate in the auction.

Zhong Huan and his party did not participate in the bidding, and the requirements for the location were not high, so they just found a side seat and sat down, waiting for the auction to start. It didn't take long to see Kan Youchang standing in front of the auction table, still holding an auction hammer in his hand.

"Welcome all Lanyou to Jiangcheng to participate in this Lanshan Fair. Let me introduce myself first, I, Kan Youchang, am the president of the Jiangcheng Orchid Association and the auctioneer of this auction.

Thousands of pots of orchids participated in the exhibition and evaluation at this Jiangcheng Orchid Fair, and at noon today, the expert judges have selected 100 pots of extremely precious orchids and awarded trophies and medals.

If it is a general event, the event will end after the awards. But our Lan Fair is extraordinary. Since it is an orchid fair, the highlight is, of course, the trading of orchids. Next up is the auction of the award-winning orchids. Every orchid friend has the opportunity to bring home the prize-winning orchids. I won't say more nonsense, now the auction begins! ”

Kan Youchang was originally in the orchid business, and his eloquence is naturally very good, and it is no problem to make a cameo appearance as an auctioneer. As soon as his voice fell, there was a round of applause from the audience.

When the applause subsided, Kan Youchang continued: "First of all, what we are going to auction is the best orchid that won the special gold medal. Like me, all of you here are impressed by the beautiful orchids that make butterflies linger. Six of the seven orchids will be auctioned this afternoon to find their new owner, and hopefully the lucky owner will be you. Let's take a look at the first seedling orchid, the big strange flower provided by Mr. Peng Lei. ”

As soon as Kan Youchang's voice fell, a staff member at the auction site turned on the projection, and a huge and exquisite photo of an orchid appeared on the curtain behind Kan Youchang.

"Because these award-winning orchids are still on display, we regret that we can't let you see the real thing. But I'm sure you've already seen this orchid in the showroom. Now we can also appreciate the style of this orchid from the photos.

This plant is 160 cm high, 2.4 cm wide, the leaf surface is slightly straight, corrugated, the leaf quality is fine and waxy, the edge is finely serrate, and the leaf color is tender green. The flower buds are strong and straight, the rigidity and softness are combined, a leaf of flowers blooms six, the flowers are even flower arrows, the center of the flower produces a number of small flowers, and it is a flower in the flower. The outer petal is radial in the shape of a rice character, the petal shape is thick, the flower type is singular, the flower posture is beautiful, the flower color is white and green, the whole flower is jade and ice clear, dignified and beautiful, and the taste is fragrant. It is a rare treasure. The reserve price of this flower is 500,000 yuan, and the auction starts now. ”

Kan Youchang made an introduction to the orchids that were going to be auctioned, and there were many words of praise among them, which made Zhong Huan feel a little surprised.

"Grandpa Yin, isn't this person a little bit out of touch with us? Why is it so hard to introduce? Zhong Huan asked Yin Jia quietly.

"Just because he can't get along with us doesn't mean he can't get along with money. Usually, the auction company charges a 10% commission for art auctions. Although the auction organized by the Lanchang Fair will not be as shady as the auction company, it will also charge 5% of the auction organization fee. The higher the price of this flower, the more profitable he will be, of course, he can't help but work hard. Yin Jia explained.

"Big brother, big brother, three million!" Peng Lei pulled Zhong Huan, who was talking, and his excited voice changed.
