114. Blood lotus
Now that they have the right to inspect, after waiting for a while, most of them are quiet and want to watch the auctioneer's follow-up actions. I saw him step down from the thirty-centimeter-high auction table and walk slowly between the chairs, giving everyone a chance to smell the smell of the "blood lotus".
Jiang Yiming was in the middle of the back position, and it was not his turn to be with Chen Xi for a while. He saw those who had smelled the blood lotus, no matter how skeptical and disbelieving their expressions were before, and then they all turned into shock and ecstasy.
Then they looked at the eyes of the people around them, as if they had seen a rival in a competitive relationship, and their vigilance suddenly increased. And they kept their mouths shut about their feelings, looking like they didn't want to add another competitor.
Is it so evil? Jiang Yiming wondered very much, seeing the strange appearance of those people, the curiosity in his heart seemed to have turned into a cat's paw, constantly scratching and tickling.
It wasn't just Jiang Yiming who noticed that something was wrong, but also those who were standing. They didn't have a chance to come into contact with the Blood Lotus, and when they saw the performance of the Blood Lotus people, they were worried about being excluded, and they all clamored.
"It's not fair, why can people with seats smell blood lotus, we also have a chance!"
"If you don't give us an explanation, we're rushing in now!"
When the auctioneer holding the plate heard these requests, he stopped and said, "There are too many of you three or four hundred people to take care of, and if you smell them one by one, you won't be able to finish it until dark." However, you also have a chance to participate in the auction, so if you want a blood lotus, buy it. ”
Not long ago, these people scolded the auctioneer for messing around, and they were the ones who scolded the loudest, and now they asked for the blood lotus to be inspected, and they made a 180-degree turn.
The attitude that has changed greatly before and after is undoubtedly for the sake of profit, and Jiang Yiming thinks to himself that he is also quite looking forward to how powerful the effect of the blood lotus is.
He didn't want to spend money to buy this blood lotus, he just wanted to smell it. The smell of a hundred years of ginseng did not cause a strong reaction from the human body, why this blood lotus is so powerful, this is a question.
The auctioneer finally walked up to Jiang Yiming and placed the tray in front of his nose. Looking at the blood lotus so closely, almost all of the vision was filled with bright red, and every petal could be seen clearly.
As soon as he took a closer breath, a breath of air with a slight smell of blood was sucked into his nose by Jiang Yiming. The next second, he heard his heart pounding in the noisy auction room, and it was like thunder, and his whole ear was filled with heartbeat, and no other sound could be heard.
He could clearly feel the blood squeezing out of his heart, traveling through the blood vessels at high speed. Then he was slightly hot, and a lot of sweat broke out in his palms.
In Chen Xi's opinion, Jiang Yiming just sniffed the blood lotus, and then closed his eyes to taste something. Then when he opened his eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Is Blood Lotus really useful? After Chen Xi, who had doubts, took a breath and understood that this was the most powerful medicinal herb he had ever seen, and he didn't need to eat it, just smelling the smell made people's blood boil.
The auctioneer walked around, the plan took half an hour, and the entire auction was delayed for half an hour, but no one wanted to leave now, waiting for the moment when the blood lotus was auctioned.
"Now start the auction of the blood lotus, the reserve price is 100,000, and the price increase must not be less than 10,000 each time." Immediately after returning to the auction table, the auctioneer announced the start of bidding, and the reserve price was surprisingly low.
"A million!"
The first person directly raised the reserve price from 100,000 to 1 million, which disappointed many people who didn't have much strength, but still planned to get involved. Especially those tourists who don't have seats, most of them are not in the Chinese herbal medicine industry, just to see the excitement. The price soared to millions at once, and they couldn't afford to buy a blood lotus at all.
", I still want to shout a price of about 500,000, but now I don't dare to think about this blood lotus."
"I'm not the same, the 700,000 I prepared is useless, and I won't even be given the opportunity to bid, it's too sad."
"Are you miserable with me, the bank card is just enough for the reserve price, and it turns out that Huaxia is worth more than 10 million local tyrants everywhere."
"I still can't figure it out, it's understandable that the hundred-year-old ginseng is sold so high, what is the use of this blood lotus to replenish blood? If you lose too much blood, you will have a blood transfusion! ”
"Brother, you're not selling Chinese medicine, are you? Is it okay for someone else's blood to have its own blood? I didn't have money to buy blood lotus, so I thought that others couldn't afford it and couldn't use it. ”
Jiang Yiming also offered a price of 2.4 million yuan with the attitude of giving it a try. But within a second, he was surpassed by others, so he had to extinguish his intention to bid.
If he really needs blood-tonifying herbs, he can grow blood ginseng. As long as you wait for more than a day, you can harvest a hundred years of blood ginseng, and it will not be much worse than a blood lotus.
However, he wanted to know where this blood lotus was found and whether there were any seeds, and these questions could only ask Chen Lao to ask the organizer of the Chinese herbal medicine conference. They are the only ones who can answer these questions.
"Old Chen, do you know who sent the blood lotus to the auction?" Jiang Yiming asked for Chen Lao's mobile phone number from Chen Xi and sent a text message.
Chen Lao's text message quickly replied: "Don't ask, they don't know the name of the client very well, they just saw a young woman send it." And she was accompanied by police officers from Baisha City, and she looked like a big shot. ”
I don't know why, Xie Wan'er's face flashed in his mind. But whether it is her or not, the current Jiang Yiming can't reach Xie Wan'er, who is protected by the police.
Paying attention to the auction, Jiang Yiming heard in his ears that someone was bidding 3.5 million. This price has exceeded the auction price of his hundred-year-old ginseng, and it seems that many people are very optimistic about this rare blood lotus.
Such an unheard of and powerful new medicinal herb looks like it has just been picked for a short time, and if the active ingredients in it can be detected, it will make a lot of money. Even if you don't take it for testing, you can use it directly for anemia patients, and the effect must be good.
In the end, the price of this blood lotus was set at 3.91 million, and it was bought by a person who made Jiang Yiming a little unexpected, and that person was Lu Zi'an, who left the auction not long ago.
This person didn't know when he returned, and he also took a picture of the blood lotus, you must know that he couldn't afford to buy a hundred years of ginseng just now, and he wanted to get the support of the company at home.
"Three million nine hundred and thousand, is there anything higher?" The auctioneer asked twice, and finally tapped the board with a hammer, "Deal!" ”
When Jiang Yiming saw Lu Zi'an step forward to pay, he seemed to be asking the auctioneer a few questions, and then returned to his seat with a gloomy face, as if he didn't get the answer he wanted.
Chen Xi said beside him: "It seems that Lu Zi'an didn't ask for the information of the person who entrusted the blood lotus seller, and it is very likely that he wanted to find the entrusting person to buy the blood lotus." It should be his dad who got the news and asked him to come back for the auction. ”
"It's really shrewd, the blood lotus has to be bought, and people have to find out, he wants to catch it all!" Jiang Yiming sighed.
From this action, it can be seen that Lu Zi'an's father can make the most profitable choice without being on the scene, and he is indeed the person who has established an East Lake Group with an annual revenue of more than one billion, and his sense of smell is extremely sensitive.
