Chapter XXIII Auction
After dealing with the gold matter, Qin Feng walked around the street a few more times, temporarily crossed over to the other world for a while, and after shaking off another group of unknown trackers, he returned to the hotel to sleep.
With money in hand, he naturally will not treat himself harshly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the room for tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a night is spacious and comfortable, and there are exquisite drinks and fruits to provide. If you want to eat anything, you can order the waiter to bring it to your room, or you can go to the trendy restaurant downstairs by yourself.
Lying on the soft big bed, Qin Feng opened his personal laptop, processed the money in the account properly, and then began to ponder whether to rent a villa here, plus a few warehouses, and place the base for transferring materials to the other world here in the future.
He always felt that China's land was not safe enough, that the control of the state apparatus was too strong, and that once someone detected the abnormality, the consequences would be devastating. Although Hong Kong Island is also the territory of China, due to its high degree of autonomy, many things are still more convenient than those of the mainland.
Moreover, with the expansion of the scale of assets, Qin Feng felt that it was necessary to consider finding a few suitable business agents, otherwise if he did everything himself, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later.
However, the crux of the matter is secrecy, and the secrets of being able to travel freely between different worlds cannot be revealed under any circumstances, even the closest people may not be able to tell them, so this thing is still a bit troublesome to operate.
Early the next morning, Qin Feng left the hotel and took a taxi straight to the headquarters of an auction house.
At the service desk, the beautiful and moving front desk lady dressed in a black OL suit greeted softly: "Hello sir, what can I do for you?" ”
"There's something that's going to be auctioned here." Qin Feng was simple and straightforward.
"Okay, please wait."
The front desk lady said politely, and immediately called a business manager through the internal phone. A calm man in his thirties and forties, with a modest and decent attitude, and a good sense of dealing with people.
After a few words of greeting, Qin Feng was invited into the VIP room, and he took out the brocade box containing the century-old mountain ginseng from his travel bag and put it on the crystal glass coffee table.
The manager surnamed Yu opened it gently, and after seeing the excellent looking mountain ginseng in the box, his face changed slightly, and he asked cautiously: "Is Mr. Qin planning to auction it with us?" ”
As a senior manager in this industry, I have naturally seen a lot of good things, and if this century-old ginseng is confirmed to be genuine, the value is very considerable.
And unlike other antique treasures, this thing can be used to save lives at critical moments, and those rich and noble people who are not bad for money will never spare the money in their hands when they encounter this kind of good things that are hard to find.
"Of course."
"In that case, I'll go and ask the appraiser to come and have a look, please wait a minute."
Manager Yu made a look, and a female secretary next to him immediately walked out. Then a waiter came in and brought Qin Feng coffee snacks.
After a while, the secretary led two men in their fifties. According to her, these are two Chinese medicine experts specially hired by the auction house, who are very familiar with this wild Chinese medicinal material.
For example, such a world-famous auction house will have a group of professional appraisers, and they have strong contacts in various industries, and they can also directly invite big names in a certain field to help when needed.
After seeing the huge and complete mountain ginseng in the brocade box, the eyes of the two experts couldn't take their eyes off it.
Due to environmental changes and over-exploitation, wild ginseng resources have become more and more scarce, and it is not so easy to find a forty or fifty-year-old one, and it is even rarer to have more than 100 years of ginseng, and the price is naturally rising.
In the past few years, in some well-known auctions in the mainland, one or two century-old ginseng sticks occasionally appeared, and they were sold for millions of dollars, with the most being tens of millions. However, looking at the information, those things may not be comparable to the one Qin Feng took out.
The two excited-looking experts put on gloves, took out magnifying glasses and other items, carefully inspected them for a long time, and finally nodded affirmatively, confirming that this was a genuine century-old ginseng. If it is unveiled at auction, the price will basically not be less than 10 million.
Manager Yu finally took out a prepared contract text with satisfaction, Qin Feng found that there was no problem after reading it, so he signed on it, and the centennial ginseng was handed over to the auction house for escrow, and the entire handover process was recorded by video surveillance.
During this period, two experts vaguely asked about the origin of the century-old mountain ginseng, but he fooled it without a trace, only saying that it was entrusted by others, and did not disclose anything else.
If this transaction goes well, Qin Feng feels that the good things collected in the other world in the future can be considered for auction in this place, in addition to the century-old mountain ginseng, there are also jewelry and jade.
As for tiger bones and bear bile, he didn't take them out, although these are precious things, but I am afraid that they are still a little unqualified to be auctioned, and they are also things that are expressly prohibited by law from being bought and sold publicly, so you can consider finding a suitable channel to secretly get rid of them in the future.
But thinking of my parents thousands of miles away, maybe it's better to leave this thing for them, and there will be more resources at hand in the future, and all kinds of good medicinal materials should be prepared for the family, of course, you must also pay attention to confidentiality.
In the end, Manager Yu politely sent him out of the door.
Standing on the bustling and noisy street, Qin Feng pondered for a while, and decided to put his previous idea into practice, opening a company on Hong Kong Island as a guise and setting up a secret base for transferring materials.
In this way, there are many procedures that need to be handled, and even if everything goes smoothly, it is not a matter of one or two days to complete the various processes.
Then there is the issue of housing, although there is no ability to buy a villa yet, but renting is not a problem.
After searching on the Internet, he picked a few desirable residences, made a phone call, and went to the scene to look around before finally making a decision.
Located in Jiuhua District, the single-family villa has its own garden lawn, swimming pool and garage, luxurious and finely decorated, the furniture is ready-made, and the environment is quite good. Of course, the price is not cheap, more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, not counting the deposit handling fee and the like.
Qin Feng didn't say anything, and immediately signed a one-year contract and paid the bill by card. In the future, even if I have to go back to the mainland often, this place can also be used as a good vacation and leisure place.
……
Otherworldly.
In the camp of the imperial army, Feng Qingyun met two Taoists with lofty instruments and deep eyes in the handsome tent.
“…… Poor pine forest, Xuankong has seen the general. ”
The two of them are polite, their behavior is casual and natural, and their attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.
Feng Qingyun raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that the battle situation is difficult, I don't know if the two Dao Masters have any good strategies to help the commander break the enemy and destroy the rebellion?" ”
Songlin Daoren smiled slightly: "The accident of General Meng Luo's accidental death before, we and other people outside the party already know about it, and I came here to see what happened." ”
