The second lot that Tang Qiyao continued to introduce was a piece of jewelry worth hundreds of thousands, which was not of high value, and the people holding the cards were some celebrities and celebrities with weak economic strength.

The next auction items, the price is not high, interspersed with several items worth one or two million.

During this time, only Yang Yijun raised a card on table 1 and photographed a diamond necklace worth 1.6 million, and no one else raised a card.

After about 20 items were auctioned, a white jade statue of the God of Wealth was pushed onto the auction table.

Tang Qiyao said very excitedly: "The item to be auctioned below is the statue of Hetian White Jade God of Wealth donated by Mr. Zeng Zhaoquan, chairman of Tiansheng Pharmaceutical Group, weighing 480 grams, with a starting price of 5 million yuan, and a minimum price increase of 10,000 yuan each time, and now the auction begins." ”

Xiao Yao's gaze fell on this white jade statue of the God of Wealth, and the first thing he observed was the jade quality of this statue of the God of Wealth.

There is no doubt that this statue of the God of Wealth is carved from Hetian white jade, the jade whiteness is pure, delicate and lovely, the oiliness is excellent, and it exudes a creamy luster.

This is a very rare Hetian white jade of excellent quality, if the carving is also good, the price of each gram should be about 20,000.

Although the carving of this statue of the God of Wealth is not top-notch, it is still a masterpiece. The overall round carving is a figure, wearing a goose-winged hat, wearing a soapy brocade robe, holding a bamboo with both hands, and smiling with both feet. The shape of the God of Wealth is exquisite and expressive, implying that Lu Xing is happy, the wealth is extensive, and the carving is delicate and smooth, such a theme is very pleasing and very suitable for collection.

Xiao Yao felt that the auction price of this statue of the God of Wealth should exceed 10 million.

"Dad, this white jade God of Wealth statue is a treasure you like very much, among so many people on the scene, there must be a lot of real Fang families, I think the price will definitely be able to rush to more than 10 million, if you meet a special favorite, even if it is auctioned for 15 million, it is not unusual, what do you think?" Zeng Kai's tone was full of self-satisfaction.

"10 million is definitely no problem, but it shouldn't reach 15 million, unless you meet someone who particularly likes this work. For his own lot, Zeng Zhaoquan is also very confident.

"Although the market price of this white jade statue of the God of Wealth cannot reach 15 million, Mr. Zeng's face is much greater than 15 million. Huang Hanting, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly interjected.

Regarding Huang Hanting's initiative to show goodwill, Zeng Zhaoquan felt very face-saving. Although Huang Hanting's net worth is far inferior to him, his status and connections in the business community in Kyoto are even higher than him.

Huang Hanting is the descendant of big capitalists, after the reform and opening up, he is good at doing business, he is like a fish in water, and soon became a leading figure in the business community in Kyoto, the eighties and nineties are the most glorious time for Huang Hanting, although Huang Hanting's net worth is far less than him, but there is still a net worth of 10 billion. In particular, it cannot be ignored that Huang Hanting has very deep connections in officialdom, and many retired bigwigs have a close relationship with him.

Huang Hanting is a very low-key person, rarely attending public events for so many years, and Zeng Zhaoquan was even a little flattered that such a well-connected business veteran suddenly showed favor to him.

"You are an old-timer in our Kyoto business community, and it would be an honor for me to be invited home by you if this statue of the God of Wealth could be invited home. I've been wanting to talk to you for so many years, but I can't find a suitable opportunity, and when it's convenient for you another day, I want to visit, I don't know if it will disturb you?" Zeng Zhaoquan had a very respectful attitude towards Huang Hanting.

Huang Hanting responded positively, "People like to be lively when they are old, and what I am most afraid of as a lonely old man with no children and no daughters is quiet. ”

Although Zeng Zhaoquan did not have much contact with Huang Hanting, he also knew that he was a slightly withdrawn person and was very difficult to deal with.

Huang Hanting deliberately befriended him, obviously asking for something, but now is not the time to ask, and he can only wait for the next time he visits Huang Hanting's house to learn more.

But what Zeng Zhaoquan didn't expect was that Huang Hanting, who has always been very deep in the city, took the initiative to find out the matter.

Huang Hanting continued: "Zeng has always been the leader of the medical industry, especially the precious Chinese medicinal materials, the scale has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years, I don't know if there are many wild ginseng in the hands of Mr. Zeng?"

Originally, Huang Hanting didn't want to make his intentions so soon, and if he wanted to buy a century-old ginseng from Zeng Zhaoquan's hands, there must be a process.

But he is already in the advanced stage of lung cancer, and he can't afford to delay for a day, and those red tape saves energy, and now he must pay attention to efficiency.

Facing Huang Hanting's hopeful eyes, Zeng Zhaoquan was unmoved, sighed, and said: "Now that science and technology are too developed, places that were inaccessible in the past have become a broad road for ginseng pickers, and ginseng in high years is becoming more and more difficult to find." Now I only have two ginseng plants in my hands that are about 50 years old, I don't know if I can meet Huang Lao's requirements?"

Tiansheng Pharma has made some achievements in the research of traditional Chinese medicine, and there is a great demand for high-vintage ginseng, and Zeng Zhaoquan is only too little for high-vintage ginseng, so it is naturally impossible to take out such an important resource to cooperate with him.

He did not refuse, but was ready to take out two 50-year-old wild ginseng plants, which was already very face-saving for Zeng Zhaoquan.

Huang Hanting knew that there was not much hope, but he still asked with the hope of what happened, if he didn't ask, there was no hope at all, and if he asked, there might be a glimmer of hope.

It's a pity that the faint hope in his heart did not favor him, and the two 50-year-old wild ginseng plants in Zeng Zhaoquan's hands had no effect on him at all.

He has been suffering from lung cancer for seven or eight years, and it is not easy to persist until now, and his disease eventually progressed to an advanced stage.

With advanced lung cancer, his life has entered the countdown. He was fortunate that he found an old Chinese medicine doctor's secret recipe for lung cancer that was very suitable for his physique, although his condition was still deteriorating, but since taking the old Chinese medicine prescription, the rate of deterioration has slowed down a lot.

The prescriptions prescribed by the old Chinese medicine practitioners are simply unaffordable for ordinary people, because one of the main medicines is wild ginseng that is more than 100 years old.

Zeng Zhaoquan has already eaten two hundred years of wild ginseng, but he still needs more. For the continuation of life, he is willing to give everything for it.

He was ill to attend the charity auction today because he had heard that at this auction, there would be a wild ginseng plant that was more than 100 years old to be auctioned publicly.

He had confirmed that the news was indeed true, and to make sure that nothing was wrong, he decided to attend the auction in person.
