Huge auction hall.

Under the spotlight, the auctioneer in a suit and leather shoes struck a wooden hammer, and his sonorous voice spread to every corner of the hall:

“…… The finale of this event: the wild ginseng king from the depths of Changbai Mountain, with intact roots and good shape, according to experts, its growth year has been 176 years......"

On the projection screen in the center of the venue, the image of this wild mountain ginseng king is played, and every detail is extremely clear, attracting the bidders below to turn their heads and whisper one after another.

As we all know, wild ginseng is becoming more and more rare, and fakes are flooding the market. Even if there is a relationship and a way, many of the so-called genuine goods that can be bought are artificially grown in the ginseng garden in the Changbai Mountains, but their growth years are longer, and they are more well cared for, and the environment in the ginseng garden is just to imitate the wild natural environment as much as possible.

The kind of wild ginseng that is purely innate, without any human interference, and has been aged, is not absolutely absent now, but it is indeed rare. It is even more rare to be able to reach hundreds of years, and occasionally there is one, which is inevitable that many rich and powerful people will compete for their cards.

Therefore, the appearance of a century-old ginseng at today's auction attracted the attention of almost everyone in the audience.

The guests who can sit here and participate in the auction will naturally not be the ones who are short of money. This ginseng king is a very good choice whether it is for personal use or as a gift, or buy it back and collect it for a few years, and then take it out for auction after it appreciates in the future, and you will not suffer a loss anyway.

"Starting price: 5 million, each increase shall not be less than 50,000!"

The auctioneer's bewildering voice echoed through the hall.

"5.1 million."

Immediately, someone raised a sign to make an offer.

"No. 29, 5.1 million!" The auctioneer exclaimed excitedly.

"5.3 million."

"No. 75, 5.3 million!"

"5.4 million."

……

"5.5 million."

……

"5.6 million."

……

There are obviously many bidders who are interested in this king of ginseng, although everyone maintains a basic calm and rational mind, after many rounds of bidding, the price is still inexorably approaching the 10 million mark.

At this time, most of the bidders gave up, after all, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount, and it is one thing to like it, and it is another thing to be worth it.

“…… No. 88, 12.5 million! Is there still a quote? ”

The auctioneer's voice is getting more and more excited, and it is undoubtedly a great sense of accomplishment for him to be able to sell a lot for an unbelievably high price.

"13 million."

Just as he was about to settle the final word, someone suddenly raised a sign.

"No. 26, 13 million!"

The auctioneer's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Bidder No. 88 is an elegant old man dressed decently and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, while bidder No. 26 is a stunning beauty with moon eyebrows and almond eyes. Her hair is full of clouds, her hair is coiled high, her ice muscles and jade bones, and she is wearing a sky-blue bandeau evening dress, which looks noble and charming.

Under the diamond-encrusted bandeau, the jade peak is round and full, the torn clothes are about to come out, and the round and slender thighs loom under the high slit skirt.

The old man, who thought that he had a chance to win, turned his head, glanced at the woman with some displeasure, hesitated for a few seconds, and decided to increase the price again.

"No. 88, 13.05 million!"

The woman's willow eyebrows were slightly raised, and she still didn't plan to give up.

"No. 26, 13.1 million!"

……

There were several more rounds of competition, and when the price rose to 13.5 million, the old man sighed and shook his head to indicate that he had withdrawn.

"No. 26, 13.5 million once...... Twice...... Triple ......"

After three repetitions, the auctioneer, whose face was flushed with excitement, dropped the hammer heavily, marking that this rare team finally had a home.

The price at which the straw is sold for gold bars and the incalculus into the texture of jade is what the profession of auctioneer is all about.

The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted her towering breasts, got up and walked out of her seat and walked out of the arena, followed by four black-clad bodyguards with big shoulders and round waists.

Immediately, a shrewd and capable professional manager greeted him and asked politely, "Beautiful Miss Yu, do you plan to deliver it on the spot, or will we arrange for someone to send it to your mansion?" ”

"Let's settle on the spot."

The beauty surnamed Yu said simply, she inquired in many ways and finally found this century-old ginseng king, and she was waiting to use it in a hurry, so she didn't plan to delay for a minute.

"Okay, please come with me."

Follow the manager to the VIP room with tight security and take a seat on the sofa. In less than a minute, a man in a suit as strong as an iron tower walked in with a lockbox, followed by four grim-looking security guards.

Placing the lockbox on the table, the manager entered the multi-segment password and opened it with the key.

The brocade box containing the 100-year-old mountain ginseng lies in the center of the soft black velvet satin, and there is also an appraisal certificate issued by the auction house, which is accepted by the buyer on the spot.

The beauty surnamed Yu obviously understands this, and after checking and confirming that it is correct, she signed the transaction contract with satisfaction, and then directly transferred the card.

At the current exchange rate, 13.5 million Hong Kong dollars can be converted into Huaxia coins, which is more than 10 million, and after deducting various handling fees and commissions to the auction house, there are about 9 million left in the hands of the original owner.

Ben came to this point, even if the transaction was completed, but the beauty surnamed Yu did not mean to leave, but asked the manager: "Who is the hand of this ginseng king?" I'd like to talk to him alone, okay? ”

"This ......"

The manager had a difficult look on his face, and said hesitantly: "Miss Yu, you understand the company's system, and keeping confidentiality for customers is one of the most important tenets of the auction house, so please forgive us for the information about the master of the king." ”

"But I'm one of your most important VIP customers, can't I make an exception? I can pay the corresponding fee, and I can explain the reason to the original owner in person, so that it will not be difficult for you. ”

The woman surnamed Yu took out a beautiful black and gold card from her handbag and slapped it on the table.

"It's a pity that even VIP customers don't have such special permissions." The manager spread his hands and said helplessly.

As a century-old store in the industry and a world-renowned top auction house, it is beyond imagination to attach importance to and maintain its own reputation. It is not uncommon to encounter similar situations in the past, but they have been resolutely rejected by the auction management, and the auction will never leak half a word to the outside world unless the original owner agrees.

The two sides argued for a while, and finally the woman surnamed Yu made a concession: "Okay, let's ask you to contact the original owner and convey my meaning on my behalf to see if he is willing to agree to meet me." ”

"This ...... All right. ”

After asking for instructions through the internal phone, the manager finally relented. After all, this Miss Yu is the company's heavyweight customer, and the two sides have cooperated many times, so they can't go too far.

The woman surnamed Yu hesitated for a moment, although she felt that it was not suitable in her heart, but she still said: "If the other party refuses, you can reveal my identity to him first, as long as he is willing to interview, you can get the goodwill of the Yu family." ”

The manager nodded and agreed, and asked her to wait in the VIP room first, and then go to another room by herself.

So a few seconds later, Qin Feng, who was busy in the study, received a call from the auction house and learned that the thing had been sold, and the proceeds would be transferred to his designated bank account later.

However, when the manager relayed Miss Yu's request, Qin Feng refused without even thinking about it. He was just here to sell things, but he didn't want to cause extra trouble for himself, no matter how big the other party was, it was not easy for him to do it.

“…… Mr. Qin, the other party is the daughter of the Hong Kong Island Jade family, she has no other meaning, but just hopes to talk to you about the possibility of follow-up cooperation. I don't think you will refuse to have such a powerful friend, right? The manager dutifully advised.

"It's okay, I'll hang up first." Qin Feng was unmoved.

I couldn't help but end the call, but the other party quickly sent another message. He clicked on it and saw that it was actually a photo of a big beauty, with her name and contact information.

"Hehe......"

Qin Feng smiled indifferently and directly deleted the information. Counting on this trick to make you abandon your principles? When you haven't seen a woman before?

I still wanted to take some more things to entrust the auction in the past, but now it seems that there is no need, so let's change the auction house and cooperate.
