Chapter XXXVI: The Auction

Three days later, Zhao Rui received a call from Lin Baode, saying that the auction was scheduled to be held at 3 p.m. the next day at the Sheraton Hotel, and the invitation had been obtained.

Zhao Rui looked at the class schedule, and there happened to be no classes in the afternoon, so he agreed with him to meet in the lobby of the Sheraton Hotel at half past two.

Sheraton Hotel is the earliest five-star hotel in Dong'an, located next to the west city wall, only a few minutes away from the city center, the hotel is well-equipped, the environment is beautiful, although due to the relationship of time, the hardware facilities are slightly backward compared to the new five-star hotel, but it is a first-class service, in the hotel in Dong'an, it is still the most popular one, is the first choice for holding various meetings.

Zhao Rui rushed to the Sheraton Hotel at 2:20, a little earlier than the agreed time.

Walking into the lobby, Zhao Rui took out his mobile phone and was about to call Lin Baode and ask him where he was, when he suddenly saw Lin Baode sitting on the sofa in the northwest corner of the lobby and waved his hand at him.

Zhao Rui then put the phone in his pocket again and walked towards Lin Baode.

"Professor Lin, I've kept you waiting. Zhao Rui walked over, shook his hand and said.

"Where, I just arrived. Lin Baode smiled, took out two invitations from a small bag and handed one to Zhao Rui, "Take it, if you lose it, you won't be able to enter the auction." ”

Zhao Rui took the invitation letter and found that it was an ordinary red card, without too many special places, but there was a strange seal printed in the lower right corner of the card, like a peculiar magic circle, and there was a faint flow of true qi on the surface, probably this is the key to the invitation, and ordinary people cannot forge it.

"I thought the private auction you were talking about was held on a stormy night in an abandoned black house in the middle of nowhere! Zhao Rui made a joke.

Lin Baode thought this was funny, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Your imagination is too rich." The so-called private auction only means that this kind of auction is not open to the outside world, only in a specific small circle, and it is not an illegal activity. ”

The two took the elevator to the seventh floor of the hotel, and then walked to a small hall in the northwest corner, the door of the hall was closed, and outside the hall stood two big men with a strange instrument carved with runes in their hands, and everyone had to check the invitation before they could enter.

Zhao Rui and Lin Baode handed over the invitation, and a big man swept it with a strange instrument, making a soft "beep" sound.

"Please come in. ”

The two big men returned the invitation to the two, bent down slightly and saluted, then pushed the door open and let Zhao Rui and Lin Baode in.

There were about 100 people at the auction site, some of them were sitting on chairs looking at the auction materials sent by the organizer, and some of them were standing aside and chatting, and there were no hotel waiters in the whole hall, and they were probably kicked out.

Zhao Rui and Lin Baode were about to find a place to sit down, when suddenly, a handsome young man in his early twenties walked over to this side.

"Old Lin, long time no see. The young man smiled politely and greeted Lin Baode.

Lin Baode glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a while, Yun Feng." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and introduced to Zhao Rui: "This is Yun Feng of the Dong'an Yun family, the right-hand man of the old housekeeper Yun, and he belongs to a big man with real power!"

When Yun Feng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Professor Lin, don't say that, it's really embarrassing for me, you are a famous miracle doctor, a friend of the old man Yun Xiong, I am just an ordinary staff member of the Yun family, where is the real power." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Rui and asked, "Who is this ......?"

"Hehe, friend, old friend. Lin Baode replied.

Yun Feng looked up and down carefully with some surprise, but he knew that Lin Baode had excellent medical skills and a strange temper, ordinary people didn't look at it at all, and he had very few friends, and he could even count them with his fingers, even Yun Xiong, the leader of the Yun family, and the old housekeeper were quite respectful of Lin Baode.

But the young man in front of him was only in his early twenties, but Lin Baode called him a friend who had forgotten his years, which really made him feel incredible.

I wonder what is there about this young man who deserves Professor Lin's attention?

Yun Feng thought about it like this, thinking about whether to inquire about Zhao Rui's details, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. His task today is to auction some precious and rare medicinal materials at this auction, and there is no need to make extraneous branches.

Last time, the old housekeeper Yun explained that he was secretly investigating the mysterious demons that invaded Dong'an, and he spent a lot of effort and arranged a large number of people, but he did not find the slightest clue, which made the old housekeeper very dissatisfied.

In order to eliminate the negative impression left by the old butler in the mind of the last unfavorable work, he is now very cautious in doing things, and strives to do things beautifully and perfectly, as for other things, he doesn't care much about them.

Of course, Yun Feng would never have thought that the mysterious demon that he couldn't find was actually Zhao Rui standing in front of him!

"The auction is about to begin, so please be seated. At this time, the auctioneer walked up to the auction table and said a word.

Lin Baode then ended the conversation with Yun Feng and sat down with Zhao Rui.

After everyone was seated, the auctioneer said on the stage: "Now the auction of the first lot, Changbai ginseng king! The ginseng age is 500 years, the starting price, 5 million, each bid, 500,000!"

"Wow, the five-hundred-year-old king of Changbai ginseng!"

"I didn't expect to auction the king at the beginning!"

"The king of Changbai ginseng has been out of stock for a long time, but I didn't expect it to appear this time!"

There was a commotion among the many bidders below, and their eyes shot with excitement, ready to shoot it!

"Five and a half million!"

"Six million!"

"Eight million!"

“......”

“......”

The auction price is like a rocket, skyrocketing, but there are still people bidding.

"Thirty-five million!"

Yun Feng raised the sign to bid for the seventh time.

"Thirty-five million, one time!"

"Did you continue to follow?"

"Thirty-five million, twice!"

"Thirty-five million, three times!"

"Okay!

The auctioneer has the final word.

"Thirty-five million? But a 500-year-old ginseng sold for 35 million!"

Zhao Rui shook his head in disbelief, he felt that this kind of five-hundred-year-old ginseng really couldn't be put on the table, and he couldn't imagine that someone would be willing to spend so much money to buy it.

Lin Baode smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "In your eyes, of course, these lots are nothing, but in the eyes of others, these are rare medicinal materials that are hard to find, even if you want to grab them, it is not easy to grab them!"

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Rui, and began to quietly ponder Zhao Rui's background in his heart.

Until now, he still couldn't believe that an ordinary college student could have such treasures as the thousand-year-old ginseng emperor and the 10,000-year-old immortal ginseng.

He always felt that Zhao Rui had some unknown secrets hidden in him.
