Chapter 41: The Auction
The next day, Cai Hongming got up early, brushed his teeth, washed his face and ate, and then called a forklift to fork two large sweet potatoes to the hotel auction site.
Although her mother can hold it, it is inevitable that the price will drop when she hugs it at this time, so it is better to get a car that is more upscale.
Speaking of which, her mother used to be a slender lady, but since she gave birth to a child and came to the northwest, she has somehow become thick and strong. She used to be almost a head taller than her father, but now she is so stout that standing with his father is like an old hen and a little rooster, which is particularly eye-catching.
The forklift transported the large sweet potatoes to the door of the hotel, and a waiter pushed a small forklift over and forked the large sweet potatoes and put them on the auction table.
It's not early, and the hotel is full of people, media reporters and scientific research institutions. When the reporter saw Cai Hongming coming, they picked up their cameras to take pictures. He was dazzled by the dazzling flashing lights.
After the big sweet potatoes were arranged, Cai Hongming walked up to the auction table and saw that there were not only personnel from domestic scientific research institutions, but also a lot of foreign people. However, if these people want to study something from the sweet potato, they will probably be disappointed, because this thing was inadvertently destroyed by him with the jade toad liquid, and there is nothing in it at all.
The jade toad liquid is the essence of the bright moon, which is a kind of aura of heaven and earth.
In the deep mountains away from the world, we will feel that the air is particularly fresh, and the breath will feel refreshed. In fact, this air contains the so-called aura, but it is very thin. If you find a fertile land in such a place to grow sweet potatoes, it will definitely grow very large.
Big sweet potatoes are not grown by no one, sixty or seventy pounds of weight abound, and there are also more than 100 pounds.
It's just that none of these two sweet potatoes like Cai Hongming's planting are against the sky. Therefore, talents from scientific research institutions will be interested in studying how this sweet potato grows, and if they can study the growth genes in sweet potatoes, the value is simply immeasurable.
In order to make a good name, the hotel manager has worked hard, and the auction venue has been made in a good way, and even the auction hammer has been brought.
Cai Hongming had only seen this thing on TV, and he had never really touched it, and his hands were itchy for a while, so he picked it up and knocked it a few times. The venue, which had been a bit noisy, fell silent.

I didn't expect this to happen, Cai Hongming couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but he didn't pause, and said: "Welcome to the auction site of the world's largest sweet potato that won the Guinness World Record, as we all know, sweet potatoes are widely used, medicine, industry, food, agriculture, etc., if someone can study how the world's largest sweet potato grows, it will undoubtedly be profitable." Let's not talk nonsense, now start the auction of the world's largest sweet potato I grow, the starting price is 100,000, and the price must not be less than 50,000 yuan each time, and now the auction begins. ”
The staff of the scientific research institutions below shook their heads again and again when they heard his offer, and said in their hearts that the starting price of a sweet potato is 100,000 yuan, and they are really crazy about money.
However, as the People's Daily said, if you can crack the secret of the growth of the world's largest sweet potato, then you don't need to say that you grow it yourself, but you can also benefit a lot from selling this research result to various scientific research institutions or farmers in various countries.
So although he was very disdainful of his offer, as soon as his voice fell, someone immediately raised his card.
"Okay, Mr. Eight 100,000, Mr. 9 150,000, that 200,000, 250,000, 300,000"
In just a moment, the world's largest sweet potato, which has applied for the Guinness World Record, soared to one million, fortunately her mother was not there, otherwise she would have gone crazy with joy if she knew that a sweet potato had been auctioned for one million.
"One million, one million for Mr. Fifteen, one million for the twenty-three, one million for the twenty-three, one million for the twenty-sixth"
After a million, the fierce competition gradually eased, and the price did not rise as quickly as it did at the beginning, but slowly increased.
"One million two hundred thousand, one hundred and twenty thousand on the thirty-fifth, one hundred and twenty thousand, okay, that friend has raised the card, one million two hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred and thirty thousand, one million three hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred and thirty thousand friends of the forty-sixth, and no, one million and four million, one million and four million, one hundred and forty thousand, and no, and no." Cai Hongming shouted loudly to stir up the atmosphere in the auction hall, and when he saw that the price reached 1.4 million, he stopped, and said: "I forgot what I said just now, after the sweet potatoes are sold, I will also give the gentleman who auctioned the world's largest sweet potato a large bottle of soil taken from the roots." It can be said that you can buy one get one free, it's very cheap, I don't know if anyone has increased the price? One million and four hundred thousand and no one has raised the price"
The personnel of the scientific research institution in the auction hall secretly cursed cunningly.
If it's just a large sweet potato, it's fine, but if you add the soil, it's different, so you can not only study the growth genes of the large sweet potato, but also analyze the changes in the soil. The world's first potato could not have grown so big for no reason, there are two reasons, one is the mutation of the sweet potato itself, and the other must be the nutrients rich in the soil. Hearing him sacrifice this sharp weapon, the people below began to discuss, and then, the price that had been suspended rose again, but in an instant, it rose to two million, and then it never moved again.
No one is stupid, a sweet potato auctioned for two million is already a lot. Most of the official scientific research institutions in China are scientific research funds allocated by the government, but there is not so much money to squander, and it is already the result of competition between domestic private scientific research institutions and foreign institutions to be auctioned so high, but there is so much more, no matter how high no one wants.
After all, this is only the first one, and the next money invested in research is the big one.
"Two million, Mr. Three, two million, and no one has raised the price, two million for the first time, two million for the second time, and two million for the third time. Okay, deal. Thank you, sir. Next, we will continue to auction the large sweet potatoes that are grown together with the world's largest sweet potato, which is the second largest in the world. In the same way, the friend who buys it at the auction will also get a copy of the soil of the root of the world's largest sweet potato, and now we will start the auction."
The auction continued, and after the auction, after deducting taxes, Cai Hongming earned a total of 3.25 million.
With such a huge profit, he couldn't help but wonder if he would also get one or two big sweet potatoes out next year. This is more than the barbecue he has worked hard to sell for a year, and it is faster than robbing a bank.
But that's for later.
After the auction, a large number of reporters came over for interviews. Cai Hongming was very helpless, so he had to accept it, otherwise someone would still chase him to his house when he went out later, and it would be even more annoying when the time came. After the interview, it was already noon, and the hotel manager enthusiastically came over to invite him to have dinner together, but Cai Hongming refused without thinking about it.
He had come to eat at this hotel, and the food was even worse than his mother's, and he didn't want to abuse his stomach.
It was only a few steps away from home, and after settling the cost of renting a venue with the hotel, Cai Hongming walked home.
