Chapter 204: The Auction Begins

This time, the auction held by Phaeton Auction House will only auction one lot, which is 500-year-old wild ginseng.

The people who came to the auction this time, except for some people who accompanied them. Everyone else's goal is to run, this 500-year-old wild ginseng comes from it.

And the wild ginseng, which has attracted the attention of many people, is now being placed on the auction table by the staff of the auction house.

This 500-year-old wild ginseng is housed in a transparent box, and this huge transparent box has no other decorations.

At the bottom of the auction table, as long as the eyesight is better, the wild ginseng can be seen very clearly, without any obstacles.

As soon as the wild ginseng was carried to the auction table, it immediately attracted the attention of all the guests, including Liu Xiong, who was sitting next to Su Zhe and closed his eyes to recuperate.

I don't know if it's Su Zhe's delusion, he felt that Wild Mountain Ginseng appeared on the auction table. The auction house, which used to be quiet, now seems to be able to hear a lot of rapid breathing.

Not long after the wild ginseng appeared, Tan Junzhen walked up to the auction table and said to the people below: "Hello everyone, my name is Tan Junzhen. First of all, I would like to welcome you to the auction held by Phaeton Auction House, and your presence will make this auction flourishing. ”

Tan Junzhen continued: "Today, I will be the auctioneer of this auction, I think you all know the auction items this time, but here, let me introduce it to you in detail." ”

"There is only one auction item in today's auction, which is this wild ginseng, and I think you are also here for this wild ginseng this time." Tan Junzhen pointed to the wild ginseng next to him and said, "This wild ginseng." Authenticated by our auction house. and repeated appraisal by authoritative institutions. It has been determined that this wild ginseng is 500 years old, and the weight of wild ginseng is 698 grams, making it the heaviest wild ginseng found so far. ”

Su Zhe never thought that Tan Junzhen, as the general manager of the branch of Huiteng Auction House in Yanyun City, would come to the stage today and be the auctioneer of this auction, which made Su Zhe feel very surprised.

"It's well known. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer wild ginseng, and wild ginseng of high years is even rarer. Not to mention the 500-year-old wild ginseng, and the weight is still 698 grams, so I don't need to say more, everyone should know the value of this wild ginseng. Such a perfect wild ginseng, maybe in addition to this one, there may never be a second one. ”

"Finally, before the auction officially starts, let me talk about the rules of this auction, the low price of this wild ginseng is only 1 yuan, and the price is not less than 100,000 yuan each time." Tan Junzhen said: "I announce that the auction is now officially open.

The low price of wild ginseng is 1 yuan. Tan Junzhen had already notified Su Zhe in advance, and it was taken only after Su Zhe's consent.

Tan Junzhen didn't expect it before. Su Zhe's wild mountain participation attracted so much attention. That's why Tan Junzhen plans to use this low price as a gimmick to attract people, but now judging from the number of participants on the scene, this gimmick is now a little redundant.

When Tan Junzhen announced the start of the auction, Su Zhe originally thought that there would be many people rushing to bid.

But the result was beyond Su Zhe's expectations, no one on the scene bid, not even Liu Xiong did not bid, and the auction fell into a cold field all of a sudden.

Su Zhe was a little out of breath, and he wanted to open his mouth to bid, so as not to let the wild ginseng be auctioned in vain this time.

Just when Su Zhe almost couldn't help but bid, someone finally made the first bid.

"I'll pay 5 million." A man sitting in the middle held up a sign and said, making the price increase by 5 million times at once.

It turned out that Su Zhe's wild ginseng was not wanted, but everyone knew that the price of wild ginseng could not be so low this time, so they all chose to wait and see first, planning to let others bid first and try the water first.

Otherwise, if the price is low, it will only make people laugh. And if the price is quoted high at the beginning, it is estimated that it will cause dissatisfaction among many people present. Because if you quote a high price at the beginning, you will increase the final transaction price.

Such a thankless thing naturally no one wants to do.

It was because everyone thought like this that the auction would suddenly fall into a cold field, making Su Zhe have a false alarm.

And once someone bids, without waiting for Tan Junzhen's announcement, people will continue to bid.

"I'll give 5.5 million."

"6.2 million."

"I'll give 6.8 million."

One after the other, there were bids. The price is also rising, and the increase is hundreds of thousands at a time.

This is the most normal scenario, and it seems a little weird that no one has bid just now.

Not only Su Zhe was taken aback just now, but even Tan Junzhen was very anxious.

If the wild ginseng with a low price of 1 yuan is 500 years old and weighs 698 grams, no one bids, and the auction is unsuccessful.

If this happens in this auction, Tan Junzhen will not be able to explain to the headquarters. At that time, Tan Junzhen will not say that he will use this auction to stabilize his position in the Phaeton Auction House, and he may not even be able to secure the position of general manager, and someone else will take over his position as general manager.

Fortunately, this situation did not occur now, so Su Zhe and Tan Junzhen both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The price of wild ginseng is getting higher and higher, but Liu Xiong, who is sitting next to Su Zhe, has not made a bid once.

Liu Xiong just quietly watched the auction process, and did not rush to bid.

And there are still many people in the auction who, like Liu Xiong, have not yet bidd. It is estimated that except for some people who are not strong enough, other talents are the main force in this auction of wild ginseng. Most of these people sit in the front row.

Su Zhe knew that like this auction, the front and back of the general seats also indirectly expressed the identity and status of the participants, and the closer the seats to the auction table, the more powerful they might be.

And Liu Xiong and Su Zhe both sat in the first row, because Yanyun City was Liu Xiong's base camp, and he was qualified enough to sit in the first row, so it was not surprising. And nominally, Su Zhe came with Liu Xiong, so it is normal to sit in the first row.

In fact, even if Su Zhe came by himself, he was qualified to sit in the first row.

Because the wild ginseng in this auction is Su Zhe's, if Su Zhe, the owner, is not qualified to sit in the first row, then who else is qualified.

Maybe the auction is still a small fight, and the price is still very low, and they don't have a chance to make a sale. They are still waiting, just like Liu Xiong's plan, to make a move at the last moment. (To be continued......)
