Chapter 175: Auction (4)
Zhou Tian had just determined the starting price of the old ginseng, and immediately someone bid, and everyone followed the prestige, but it turned out that it was the price quoted by a certain VIP on the third floor.
A young son, in his early twenties, appeared on the railing of a private room on the third floor, Zhuang Shaoyou was also curious, it turned out to be Wei Kai, Wei Zhongdao's elder brother, and the eldest son of the Wei family.
Zhuang Shaoyou looked thoughtful, glanced back at Cai Yong and Cai Yan, and found that Cai Yong was still expressionless, while Cai Yan was a little unnatural, his eyes were instantly filled with tears, and he seemed to evoke some sad past.
Zhuang Shaoyou sighed secretly, got up and walked towards the railing, and said to Wei Kai: "General Ben is very sorry for Brother Ling's matter, this thing will be given to Brother Ling for medical treatment, and it should be General Ben's apology!" ”
The audience was stunned for a while, this General Zhuang was really frank, and he even apologized to people in public, ordinary people really can't afford to put it down like this! And the shot is really generous, 10 million things are said to be given away.
Everyone looked at Wei Kai curiously, wanting to see how he reacted, but seeing that Wei Kai snorted coldly: "Thank you for the general's kindness, it's just that my Wei family has always been useless, and besides, 10 million yuan is nothing to my Wei family, so I won't bother the general about this matter!" ”
The audience was in an uproar, isn't this a slap in the face in public? People are so low in status than you, what are you still holding on? What's more, Wei Zhongdao's illness has been around for a long time, and it has little to do with General Zhuang, this is what the medical saint himself said, why should he offend this Luoyang upstart again for this?
Zhuang Shaoyou didn't feel embarrassed, only a little emotional: "It seems that it can't be separated from the Wei family!" ”
When Zhuang Shaoyou returned to his seat, he saw Cai Yan looking at him with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, this talented woman who is famous in history but has a bad fate is really pitiful! I didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so I could only sit there with my head down and wait for the auction to continue.
After Zhou Tian dealt with the matter of mountain ginseng, he saw that the atmosphere in the field was a little strange, so he called his subordinates and decided to change the original strategy and put some fierce medicine!
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's start the auction of the third treasure, this is one of the treasures of the finale of this auction, bring it up!"
At this moment, eight big men carefully carried a large wooden box to the stage, gently placed it on the booth, opened the wooden box, and a huge bonsai appeared in front of everyone, flashing brilliant red light under the reflection of the ever-bright lamp.
The eyes of the audience were attracted by that treasure, and there was a sound of admiration!
Zhou Tian was not in a hurry, first let everyone appreciate it for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "I think you all recognize it, this is deep-sea red coral, eight feet eight inches high, weighing one thousand and eighty pounds!" It is produced in the Ryukyus, and it is said that it was taken from a million-year-old coral colony! ”
The three shopkeepers who were invited to appreciate the treasure were suddenly a little dumbfounded, and eagerly walked over and carefully observed the coral.
Shopkeeper Wang was the first to speak: "Look at the texture and length of this should have been intercepted from the million-year-old coral group!" This red coral is produced in the deep sea below 200 feet, and I really don't understand how he got it! ”
Zhou Tian said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, I am also very curious, but this is the ability of people to eat, so naturally I will not easily tell others!" ”
The shopkeeper gently rubbed this coral and exclaimed: "The deep-sea red coral, it can only grow an inch in three hundred years, and this eight feet and eight inches will take at least twenty-six thousand years!" It's really a treasure in the world! ”
Shopkeeper Zhen also came up and said, "This is definitely a treasure in the world!" The old decay has lived for so many years, and the treasures that have been identified are thousands, and the coral is not unseen, but it is generally three or four feet in the majority, and the highest is only six feet, the eight feet and eight inches of red coral, the shape is so beautiful, it is really difficult to evaluate its accurate value, and the decay can only say that this coral is priceless! ”
The shopkeeper Tao also said: "Well, it will not be less than 100 million dollars!" ”
Shopkeeper Wang also nodded in agreement, and there was an uproar for a while, 100 million money? What are you kidding, many businessmen don't have all the net worth they have accumulated over generations of business! A businessman like Ronghua, who is counted in Luoyang City, can only raise 50 million yuan to raise funds, and 100 million yuan will have to sell all the properties and only go home with this coral to live!
Zhou Tian and Ronghua naturally knew the situation of the merchants in Luoyang, 100 million money? No kidding, even if someone could take it out, they wouldn't buy it, but it doesn't matter, we have a way!
"Everyone, be still! Let's start bidding for this coral, as for the reserve price, it starts at 50 million! ”
Everyone gasped when they heard this, one was to sigh at such a sky-high price, and the other was to sigh that if this coral was 50 million, it would definitely not cost 100 million, because there were only a few people who had the strength to bid for it, and no one would use all their wealth to exchange for a coral back!
Now the starting price is only 50 million, all the powerful businessmen suddenly began to be eager to try, some good relations began to discuss borrowing cash, 50 million, this is worth 100 million things, as long as you sell it, at least 10 million! What a bargain!
Zhou Tian continued: "This treasure is only sold for gold, and does not charge five baht!" Converted into gold, it is 5,000 catties! ”
The businessmen were in an uproar, but it was understandable to think about it, the five baht money was just rubbish now, if it wasn't for it, who would want to use that thing! Nowadays, it is already cheap to sell this exotic treasure for 50 million, so it is not a big deal for people to ask for gold exchange! Just as the merchants were discussing with each other how to partner or borrow, a voice suddenly sounded
"Fifty million!"
Everyone was stunned, who is so wealthy? Dare to quote so quickly? And the sound doesn't seem to come from the second and third floors, it's the first floor! Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a man coming out of a private room on the first floor, about forty years old, with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, fair skin, standing there with his hands in his hands, looking invincible.
"This is ... Ah, I remember, this is He Liu, the shopkeeper of He Ji Pawnshop! ”
Zhou Tian looked like an old god at the booth, and he was very satisfied with his high skills, but he couldn't see any expression on his face. When I saw this person, I was a little dazed, who was this person? So arrogant? Ronghua was taken aback when he saw this below, and hurriedly ran up to the stage to murmur a few words in Zhou Tian's ear, and Zhou Tian's expression suddenly became solemn: "He Jin's person?" ”
In a private room on the third floor, Wang Yun said to the entourage beside him: "Go and tell General Zhuang that this is the shopkeeper of He Jin's He Ji pawnshop!" ”
"Yes! Master! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou originally praised Zhou Tian's tricks in his heart, the cost price of this coral is definitely not so high, and if it is auctioned out, it will definitely be dozens of times the profit! It's so dark! Zhuang Shaoyou felt that he had a bit of a black-hearted businessman's taste.
But seeing that the enthusiastic audience suddenly cooled down, I knew what the background of this arrogant shopkeeper was, and the person who came was not good! As a result, it happened that Wang Yun's entourage came to inform him that this was He Jin's person! Suddenly his heart was clear, and he got up and walked to the railing.
He Liu glanced at the audience, then stared at Zhou Tian on the booth and said, "Fifty million, I want this coral!" ”
Zhou Tian suddenly hated the root of his teeth, isn't this a typical bullying? Who else would dare to speak? As expected, everyone in the field was silent, this shopkeeper He is notoriously difficult in the Luoyang business world, specializing in all kinds of conspiracy methods, when the price of things is extremely low, the price of redemption is several times, and there are all kinds of traps and usury, and the situation suppresses peers, Tao Ji pawnshop was suppressed by him several times, and then there is no way, spending money to give He Jin a heavy gift to settle down!
Then He Liu glanced at everyone in the audience and said, "Fifty million, has anyone increased the price?" ”
Zhou Tian's eyes were full of anger, he was so fucking arrogant, and looked at Zhuang Shaoyou's position upstairs, Zhuang Shaoyou groaned slightly, but still shook his head, no one can stand without faith! Since I plan to do business here, my reputation must still be guaranteed, everything is within the rules, there are no violations, and it is not easy for me to turn my face!
Zhou Tian sighed helplessly: "Since there is no one to bid, then I announce that this deep-sea red coral was auctioned by this guest!" ”
Then He Liu continued to say without yin or yang: "Just send General He's mansion up!" ”
Zhou Tian rolled his eyes and said indifferently: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" If you can't see the money, the treasure will definitely not get out of this gate! ”
Then He Liuyi shouted with some annoyance when he heard this: "Isn't the credibility of the Great General's Mansion still guaranteed? You are insulting the general! His heart can be punished! Sin is unforgivable! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou sneered: "Bullshit general, He Jin's reputation as a stupid bear is worthless here in Lao Tzu!" Only money is recognized here, not people! If you want to take something, you can, send money! No one is missing! If you shoot something but can't come up with the money, then don't blame General Ben for being unkind! ”
Then He Liu was stunned for a while, and he could still be arrogant with Zhou Tian and Ronghua, but he had no confidence in the face of Zhuang Shaoyou, this is the master who doesn't even buy the master He Jin!
He Liu quickly calculated in his heart, five thousand catties of gold, if you raise all the cash on the books, it seems to be about the same, and then go to other homes to borrow some, it should be enough, it's a big deal to go back and forcibly sell this thing to others, you can make tens of millions of dollars as soon as you turn your hands, and the general will definitely appreciate me!
He Liuyi said ruthlessly: "Okay! Deal! Don't admit it when the money arrives! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the word reputation is the most important thing in the life of this general, and he will not be as untrustworthy as He Jin!" ”
He Liu put down his cruel words and wanted to get back to the field, but he didn't expect to be beaten by Zhuang Shaoyou, and turned out the old accounts before, everyone in Luoyang City knew that He Jin received Zhuang Shaoyou's heavy gift but still framed him, people in this era regard faith as more important than life, and losing faith in others is definitely a big mistake! is despised by the world, than how to enter.
"You!" He Liu glared at Zhuang Shaoyou angrily, but he couldn't refute a word, what people said was the truth, and Luoyang knew it!
Zhuang Shaoyou waved his hand: "Sunday, go on!" Then he turned back to his seat very chicly, and saw the dignitaries, the wives and concubines of famous businessmen, and the daughters in the field, so handsome! It's so stylish! I don't even pay attention to He Jin, I can scold if I want to! This is the pure man!
