Chapter 543: Imperative
"Ge's Unilateral"
Seeing this term, if it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be dismissive. What is Ge's unilateral, isn't this similar to those folk unilateral, home remedies, and secret recipes? What's the big deal about this. However, in the past two years, Tang Zheng has also been constantly learning and improving. For the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, Tang Zheng did not dare to say to what extent, and there was still a preliminary understanding.
Ge's unilateral, in the legend, written by Ge Hong. Ge Hongqiren, a person from the Jin Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, hugged Puzi, and had a more resounding name, Ge Xianren. He is especially good at alchemy.
Ge Hong is a figure who has left a strong mark on the culture of Chinese Taoism. Generally speaking, when it comes to Ge Hong, he is considered to be a Taoist figure. However, in ancient times, medicine and Taoism were inseparable. To use the simplest analogy. Maoshan Taoist priest has always had the saying that the mountain doctor is divined. I won't talk much about the rest. In this, medicine refers to medicine.
In fact, in addition to being a Taoist priest, Ge Hong was also a well-known healer. Ge Hong's wife, Bao Gu, is a famous female moxibustion practitioner.
Ge Hong's works, in addition to Bao Puzi and so on, also include 100 volumes of "Jinkui Prescription". In addition, it is said that there are also "Jade Hanfang" and "Ge's Unilateral Party", but, unfortunately, none of these have been handed down. Now, seeing this name on the lot, how can Tang Zheng not be surprised.
Although he is not sure, Tang Zheng has full confidence in the credibility of Christie's auction house. With such a large auction house, there is absolutely no possibility of fakes flowing out. It's hard to say whether Ge's unilateral is true or false. But, at least for sure. The age of the item should belong to that period.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng made a phone call to Song Yan and said, "Old man." Busy? ”
Datang Pharmaceutical's affairs are basically all handled by Song Yan. Tang Zheng. That is, to make a handshake shopkeeper.
Here, I can hear that Song Yan is a little busy, there is a feeling of commotion on the other end of the phone, and Song Yan's voice also came: "Boss, do you have any orders?" ”
"Boss, you can help me arrange it and prepare cash. How much cash there is without affecting the normal operation of the company. Help me mobilize temporarily, I'll be useful tomorrow. Tang Zheng went straight to the point and commanded directly.
These words made Song Yan's whole person stunned: "Boss, are you sure?" Do you know how much money you have now? ”
Tang Zheng's words frightened Song Yan at once. Boss, this is what to do. Idle funds that are not used by the group. With Datang Pharmaceutical's current profit level. To put it in perspective, there are tens of billions. What was he going to do?
Tang Zheng was also a little stunned: "How? ”
Song Yan didn't have a good attitude at the moment: "It's not much, that is, more than 16 billion, boss, are you sure you have to mobilize all the money for you?" ”
"Ugh. Then give me the mantissa at the end. I'll be useful tomorrow. Tang Zheng thought about it for a while, but he didn't insist anymore. Christie's auction is just a good one, and no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to use so much money. There are six billion. That's pretty much it.
Here, Song Yan suddenly said: "Boss, are you going to participate in Christie's spring auction tomorrow?" ”
I heard Song Yan say this. Tang Zheng was also stunned: "Did you also receive an invitation?" ”
Song Yan also nodded at this moment and said, "I got it." I've heard that. In China, several major Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical companies have received invitations in this regard. Reputedly. This time, a lost copy of Ge's was unilaterally transmitted. Right now. It's already raging in the industry. ”
Hearing this, Tang Zheng did not shy away from it, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then you prepare and bring all the funds we can use, we are bound to win." ”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Zheng was also a little embarrassed. As it is Christie's, the means of operation can be described as a set. Don't say anything else, just talk about Ge's unilateral matter. It is the attention of major domestic pharmaceutical companies. It will be a sky-high price.
……
On the evening of April 9, it was seven o'clock.
At the China Overseas International Convention and Exhibition Center, it is a busy scene. At the entrance of the convention and exhibition center, security guards are on standby. From time to time, luxury vehicles drive in. Mercedes-Benz and BMW are all too ordinary.
Tang Zheng also came over. Tang Zheng came with Song Yan. The car is naturally an extended Bentley of Datang Pharmaceutical, with a car of more than 13 million. Naturally, it can reflect the outstanding strength of Datang Pharmaceutical.
At the entrance of the main hall of the Convention and Exhibition Center, the leaders of Christie's auction house stood at the door to greet the guests from all sides.
The whole spring auction looks very formal. This time, the theme is the culture of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine. At the door, many media reporters were waiting.
With the arrival of Tang Zheng and Song Yan, many media reporters have already greeted them: "Professor Tang, it is said that there will be a lost Ge unilateral in this auction, may I ask, Professor Tang, do you have any evaluation?" ”
For these, Tang Zheng stopped at the moment, looked at the reporter and said: "China's medical culture has a long history and a history of thousands of years. In history, there have been many doctors, to use the simplest analogy, the legendary Ma Boiling San, an oral anesthetic, even with our modern medical means can not achieve this medical problem. Ge's unilateral is a masterpiece written by Ge Hong. We Datang Pharmaceutical are very interested, and as for whether to win it, we still need to further screen Ge's unilaterally. Temporarily. It is not yet possible to make a decision. ”
The whole auction officially began at 8 o'clock in the evening, for some of the previous lots. There are ready-made Chinese herbal medicines, among which, the most eye-catching, the 300-year-old mountain ginseng, and the 500-year-old wild Ganoderma lucidum. have received a lot of attention. In addition, the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains and so on.
For these medicinal materials, Tang Zheng did not pay much attention. In the Valley of the Divine Pesticides, the last thing that is lacking is medicinal herbs. For this, Tang Zheng is completely unnecessary. Except for some general medicinal materials, Tang Zheng made a move, and the others were all photographed by others.
As a lot was finished, two hostesses came up with a cart. The auctioneer also raised his voice at this moment: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next lot is a codex from the late years of the Tang Dynasty medicine king Sun Simiao Daochang. According to the expert appraisal of our Christie's auction company, combined with the comparison of the original artifacts such as the Qianjin Yifang. It can be determined that the handwriting is indeed consistent, and in addition, from the detection of carbon thirteen elements, it can also be confirmed that this codex is indeed from the Tang Dynasty. This will have a certain role in promoting modern Chinese medicine research. The starting price is 5 million yuan, and each price increase is not less than 100,000 yuan. Are there any friends who are interested in the Codex of the Medicine King? ”
The cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty are still Sun Simiao's codex. The starting price of 5 million is indeed not very high. However, considering that the artistic value is not very high. The significance of the Codex is mainly in terms of research. The price is still very modest.
With the auctioneer's words, someone here immediately raised a sign: "Six million!" ”
"Okay, guest No. 57, the bid is 6 million, is there anything higher than 6 million."
"10 million!" The moderator's words are not finished. Here, someone raised the sign again, and at the same time, the bid was directly raised by four million.
Song Yan also said in a low voice at this moment: "Boss, the bidder is from Tongrentang in the capital." In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there has always been a saying that there is Tongrentang in the north and Qingyutang in the south. Now it seems that they are bound to win. ”
Hearing this, Tang Zheng chuckled, raised his hand directly, and said slowly: "Twenty million!" ”
In the end, the Codex of the Medicine King was taken by Tang Zheng at a price of 50 million. For this, Tang Zheng has his own ideas. It's good for the Medicine King's Codex, or it's good for Ge's unilateral side. For Tang Zheng. The significance of the reference is not particularly large. With Tang Zheng's inheritance. Even without that, it's not a problem.
However, the main reason why Tang Zheng wanted to shoot it was to find an excuse. Find an excuse for Datang Pharmaceutical to launch other drugs in the future.
With the Medicine King Codex and Ge's Unilateral Formula, this is not so conspicuous. If some Chinese patent medicines with remarkable curative effects are introduced, the outside world will only think that Tang Zheng is excavating the lost classics of traditional Chinese medicine in ancient times. And nothing else comes to mind. Of course, this will also stimulate other pharmaceutical companies to participate in the excavation and protection of traditional Chinese medicine and ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine, which is of great benefit to the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
Next lots. Although all of them have characteristics, most of them are summarized by some medical classics gathered after the Song Dynasty. It's more about the coexistence of art and scholarship. For these, Tang Zheng didn't have much interest.
At about ten o'clock, the lot of Zuihou's finale had been delivered, and at this moment, the male auctioneer had also raised his voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the much-anticipated lot has finally been presented." Legendary-level items, in the legend, Ge Hong's unilateral written by Ge Hong's immortal master. A long-lost text. However, in the course of our fortuitous collection process, the consignor sent this lost ancient book over. We have carefully identified and researched it. It is unanimously determined that the age of this ancient book is indeed produced in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty, which is consistent with the age of Ge Hongxianshi. At the same time, in order to ensure the uniqueness of the unilateral side, all the experts have not read the content of the ancient books in their entirety. However, judging from the comparison of handwriting, it was indeed written by Ge Hongxian himself. Next, the starting price of the finale lot is 200 million RMB, with a price increase of no less than 5 million RMB each time. ”
As the auctioneer's words fell, suddenly, in the front row, on the side of Tongrentang, who had not taken any action, a man stood up directly: "Five hundred million!" Dear friends in the same industry, after we photographed it in Tongrentang, we are willing to share this ancient book with all friends in the same industry. (To be continued......)
