At the auction venue, hundreds of guests who came to participate in the auction fell silent. They felt it was not worthwhile to buy a piece of ore at a price of more than 500 million.
Everyone looked at Ji Xiaomei with a somewhat strange expression.
even!
Many people are murmuring in their hearts: Is this the rhythm of people with lots of money being stupid
As an auctioneer, Zhang Xinya found that no one had any intention of raising the price, and immediately said with a smile: "Since no friend has raised the price, this ore belongs to friend No. 0125. Are you going to trade in the backstage now? Or wait until the auction is over? Backend transactions?”
"Now!"
Ji Jinmei stood up, nodded slightly to Tang Xiu, and then left her seat.
However.
Her low posture, bowing and nodding, caused most people's attention to shift to Tang Xiu.
Even Zhang Xinya in front of the auction stage looked surprised. She asked her best friend Ouyang Lulu about Tang Xiu. Although Ouyang Lulu didn't say much, she was secretly shocked by the tip of the iceberg.
The auction will proceed as usual.
A few minutes later, Ji Xiaomei returned with the soul-soothing stone. After handing it over to Tang Xiu, she asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we have obtained the things we wanted to buy. Should we leave now? Or should we continue to stay here?"
Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "You should take the soul-soothing stone and leave first! Let Awen deliver it to you. I'll stay here to see if there are any good things."
"yes!"
Ji Jinmei agreed and watched Tang Xiu look at the soul-soothing stone for a few times before handing it over to her. Just when she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something. She quickly took out a bank card, handed it to Tang Xiu and said, "Lord, there are still 9.5 billion in it. If you have anything you like, just buy it."
Tang Xiu didn't refuse. He really didn't have much money on him. After taking it, watching Ji Jinmei leave, he secretly sighed that Ji Jinmei was sensible.
Money is something external to oneself.
He doesn't care about money, but now that cultivation resources are in short supply, he will soon have to train a group of confidants, which also requires a lot of resources. If he doesn't have money, it will really be inconvenient for him to do many things. If it were before, he would have felt a little awkward taking the money from Baiyan Restaurant. But now, he no longer feels this way. After all, the materials he gave to Ji Jimei to refine the elixir are all priceless treasures.
However.
Just two minutes after Ji Jinmei left, Zhang Xinya on the auction stage said with a smile: "The next item to be auctioned is a thousand-year-old ginseng. As far as I know, the auction held on Jingmen Island a few months ago In one auction, a thousand-year-old wild ginseng was auctioned. Counting this one, there were only two plants in total this year. In addition, in the past three years, there was no auction in the country where a thousand-year-old wild ginseng was auctioned. This thousand-year-old wild ginseng was auctioned. The low price of wild ginseng is 100 million, and each increase must not be less than 5 million. Bidding begins now."
Tang Xiu's eyes burst into light. He had not looked at the list of auction items before, so he didn't know what else there was in this auction besides the soul stone. When his consciousness instantly enveloped the thousand-year-old wild ginseng in the tray, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Wild ginseng that's over three thousand years old?"
After making an instant judgment, Tang Xiu quickly took out his cell phone and dialed Mo Awen's number.
"boss!"
Mo Awen's voice came from the phone.
Tang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Let Ji Xiaomei come back."
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the three thousand year old wild ginseng.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
After the auction venue was quiet for more than ten seconds, someone directly raised the price by 50 million. Many people present knew that person, Hong Kong glasses king, Ke Zhentao.
"One hundred and sixty million!"
Although many people know Ke Zhentao, there are also many people who are bound to get a good thing like thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Therefore, they are not willing to be humble at this time.
"Twenty million!"
Ke Zhentao increased the price again.
"Two hundred and ten million!"
"Two hundred and fifty million!"
"Twenty-six million!"
"Two hundred and seventy million!"
“…”
As more than a dozen people continued to increase their prices, the price of Millennium Wild Ginseng continued to rise. In just five or six minutes, it had exceeded 350 million. The one who quoted the price was still Ke Zhentao.
Tang Xiu glanced at Ji Jinmei, who returned to the seat next to him, and said calmly: "What is being auctioned now is a wild ginseng. No matter how much it costs, you must buy it. It will be of great benefit to Yan'er."
Ji Jimei's expression changed and she quickly asked: "Lord, what is the current price?"
"Three hundred and fifty million!"
Ji Jinmei nodded, raised her number plate and shouted: "Five hundred million!"
"Wow..."
Following Ji Jinmei's cry, the entire auction venue burst into excitement. Hundreds of wealthy people who came to participate in the auction started whispering among themselves.
"Who is that old lady? She spent 500 million to buy a stone before, and now she has increased the price by 150 million. Does she have money to burn it?"
"The value of that thousand-year-old wild ginseng plant is only one or two hundred million at most, right? She is actually willing to spend five hundred million to buy it. What a luxury!"
"What is her identity? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"Send someone to investigate her. Her identity and background must be investigated before the auction ends."
"We have a good show today! I am not willing to spend 500 million to buy a thousand-year-old wild ginseng! So I give up."
“…”
"Six hundred million!"
In the back corner of the venue, an old man wearing reading glasses and Chinese tunic suit suddenly raised the sign in his hand. When everyone looked at the old man, their expressions suddenly changed.
Giant Li
No one expected that it would be Giant Li who made the offer. I don’t even know when Giant Li came to the auction venue!
Tang Xiu turned his head. When he saw Giant Li, he frowned slightly. He didn't know many of the super rich people in Hong Kong, but he knew about Giant Li. After all, photos of the legendary richest man in Asia were often seen in the past.
Ji Xiaomei just turned her head and glanced back, then raised the number in her hand again and said in a deep voice: "One billion!"
"What?"
All the guests at the auction venue were dumbfounded. They did not expect that Ji Jinmei would dare to snatch the thousand-year-old wild ginseng from Giant Li, and the price would be raised to 400 million.
Back row.
Giant Li also showed a surprised look. He did not expect that someone would raise the price to one billion for a thousand-year-old wild ginseng. He originally thought that it was a sure thing that he would buy the thousand-year-old wild ginseng with a bid of 600 million.
After a moment of silence, he raised the number plate in his hand again and said calmly: "One billion."
"Two billion!"
Ji Jinmei doesn't care about money. Even if she spends money, she still wants to buy the wild ginseng that is more than 3,000 years old. After all, there are not many things that are beneficial to the owner. Once there are things, she will go all out to do it, let alone spend money to buy it, even if it is robbing or even killing.
Giant Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He does have money. Two billion is just a small sum of money to him, but it is not worth it to buy a thousand-year-old wild ginseng.
He is a businessman!
He has his own standards for spending money, and he will not buy things that are not worth it just to compete.
The hundreds of wealthy people in the auction venue didn't know what to say at this moment. They looked at Ji Xiaomei's expression, which was full of weirdness.
No one thought that Ji Jimei would dare to compete with Li Jumei after seeing him. Unexpectedly, she suddenly raised the price by another 900 million, bringing the price of the wild ginseng to 2 billion.
Zhang Xinya was also shocked at this moment. She did not expect that the price of a thousand-year-old wild ginseng plant would be increased to two billion. Originally, she thought that the price of this kind of wild ginseng would be as high as 500 million. Now it seems that it is four times as much as she expected!
but.
She was still a little happy. According to her agreement with the auction house, she can get one thousandth of the commission for every item auctioned. If the item sold at auction can reach ten times the reserve price, she will receive a commission of two thousandths.
"Tonight, the commission alone will be no less than eight figures, right?"
Zhang Xinya thought with joy.
Then!
Seeing that Giant Li had no intention of raising the price, she said, "Is there any higher offer? If not, this thousand-year-old wild ginseng will belong to friend No. 0125."
Asked several times.
When Zhang Xinya saw no one said anything, she immediately banged the gavel and said with a smile: "Congratulations to friend No. 0125 for acquiring this thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Will you go to the backstage to trade now? Or will you go to the backstage to trade after the auction is over?"
"Now!"
Ji Jinmei stood up, bowed and nodded to Tang Xiu again, and then left her seat.
Tang Xiu did not interfere in the next auction.
Ten o'clock in the evening.
The auction ended, and as the guests stood up and prepared to leave, Zhang Xinya took off her white gloves with a smile on her face and came to Tang Xiu. After her eyes swept over Ji Xiaomei, she stretched out her hand to Tang Xiu and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, we meet again."
Tang Xiu nodded and noticed that many people around her were looking at her. He immediately said, "Is your relative's illness cured? I heard from Chen Zhizhong that he has found the medicinal materials you need."
Zhang Xinya nodded heavily and said gratefully: "It's better. Mr. Tang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would..."
Tang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt her, turned to Ji Jinmei and said, "Let Awen take you to Victoria Harbor! Return to Jingmen Island immediately and put away this wild ginseng. When I come back, I will drug Yan'er." "
"yes!"
With respect on her old face, Ji Xiaomei agreed and left with Mo Awen. Mo Awu stood beside Tang Xiu like a javelin.
Zhang Xinya looked at Ji Jinmei's leaving figure in surprise. When she looked away, she asked curiously: "Tang Xiu, do you know that old lady? Listening to your conversation with her, it seems that between you two..."
Tang Xiu said calmly: "She is my subordinate."
