Not everyone knows the existence of 'gene medicine'.
Except for a few families who received news before the dinner started and knew that the Pharmaceutical Association's genetic medicine would be auctioned tonight, most people who came to participate in the charity dinner regarded this dinner as just an ordinary charity dinner of a higher standard.
The items auctioned at ordinary charity dinners are nothing more than jewelry and jade, plus a small amount of calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, etc. with collection value.
This is the first time I see medicines being auctioned.
And the starting price for this pill is jaw-dropping.
There was a buzz of discussion in the audience.
Many people's eyes popped out.
"30 million? Did I hear that correctly? The starting price of that medicine is wrong? What kind of medicine costs 30 million per pill?"
A collectible sports car costs tens of millions.
A villa in a prime location costs tens of millions.
But a pill that looks ordinary under the light costs 30 million... If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off.
However, such an absurd thing happened right before their eyes, they couldn't help but not believe it!
"It's said to be an auction item consigned by the Pharmacy Association. What kind of medicine is this? Could it be some kind of targeted cancer drug?"
"The starting price is 30 million, so there is a tendency to raise the price. Who would spend tens of millions to buy a pill?"
"Hush. Didn't you see the reactions of those big shots at the main table? Even the people from the Sibol family, the organizer of this dinner, are eager to try it... I'm afraid it's hard to say how much this medicine will cost."
Not only did they notice the reactions of several key guests at the main table, but even the waiters who were shuttled around the banquet and were responsible for serving snacks and champagne to the VIPs were shocked by the pills being auctioned on the stage.
In the world of rich people, spending 30 million to buy a pill is ridiculous and unbelievable, not to mention in the eyes of ordinary people...some people would spend tens of millions to buy pills.
However, what happened happened.
The tall foreign man standing next to Qiao Nian was surprised and turned back subconsciously to look at the oriental woman's reaction.
As expected, he saw the other person leaning against the wall, hiding his body, lowering his head and nonchalantly pushing down his black-framed glasses. Then, as if noticing his gaze, he looked up at him.
He didn't know what he was nervous about for a moment, and sticky sweat appeared on his palms. Before the other party looked at him, he straightened his neck, pinched his palms tightly, and looked straight in the direction of the auction on the stage, as if he had never looked around before!
finally-
The auction begins.
An elder of the Sibol family took the lead in raising the auction card in his hand, smiled at the others and shouted the price: "Then I will warm up the crowd first. Thirty-two million."
He looks like he's added a lot.
The price was raised by two million in one go.
But this is only heroic in the eyes of outsiders.
In the eyes of people at the same level as him, his statement to warm up the atmosphere was not an exaggeration. Two million was just a small addition and could be considered a kind of humility as the organizer of the banquet.
Sure enough, someone started to break the eager atmosphere.
A second person immediately followed.
Number 9 raised his sign and called out, "Forty million."
This time he added eight million in one go!
Just raise the price to 4.
This did not scare off his competitors.
Next, No. 3, No. 4, No. 7, No. 10... raised their signs one after another.
The price of that drug has soared from eight digits to nine digits. The latest bid is No. 6, which has exceeded 100 million.
The key is that the big shots at the main table in the front row have no intention of stopping.
