Everyone in the entire auction venue was shocked by the sudden sound. Even Tang Xiu, who regarded money as dirt, did not expect that in this era when almost no one recognized the Sky Cracking Stone, there would be people willing to buy it at such a high price.
Tang Xiu followed the source of the sound and found that the customer who made the quotation was an old man wearing a black Chinese tunic suit. He had white hair and kind eyes, and he looked like a good old man. However, facing everyone's gaze, he showed a proud look. Especially when he found Tang Xiu looking over, he raised his chin and gave Tang Xiu a provocative look.
"Trouble!"
Tang Xiu sighed in his heart and raised the bidding sign again: "Sixty million."
Wow…
The entire auction venue was in a state of excitement, and everyone's eyes were wandering between Tang Xiu and the old man. As the saying goes: When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Some people with quick thoughts are already secretly guessing: Is that rare ore really a treasure
but.
Guessing is guessing, but no one is fighting for it. The reason is simple. Even if the ore is precious, they don't understand it at all. If it becomes worthless after buying it, they will really be taken advantage of. Furthermore, the old man who made the bid looked a little ugly, but he never made another bid!
Tang Xiu looked expressionlessly at the old man in the distance whose smile was frozen on his face and whose expression was uglier than if his father was dead and his mother was married. He found that the old man moved his lips several times, trying to make a quote, but he was finally controlled.
"what happened?"
Tang Xiu originally planned to bleed heavily, but he didn't expect the other party to stop right there.
The auctioneer's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said in an encouraging tone: "There is a saying that the eyes of the masses are sharp. I quote a common saying: Don't miss it when you pass by. If this ore is not a rare treasure, who will Will it be auctioned at a high price? I am very lucky and feel happy to be able to witness a powerful person with a sharp eye and be able to identify treasures."
"That handsome gentleman bid 60 million. Is there a higher price? If not, this rare treasure will belong to that gentleman."
"Any more?"
The discussion in the auction venue became silent as the auctioneer finished. Everyone's eyes were lingering on Tang Xiu and the old man. They were curious, would the old man still make an offer? In fact, some people are already prepared to snatch it once the old man bids again.
As the auctioneer said: don’t miss it if you pass by.
just in case!
If the ore is really a rare treasure, even if they don't know it yet, if they buy it back and study it slowly, they might get a big surprise.
However!
To the disappointment of many people, the old man did not make another offer.
The auctioneer felt a little regretful, but she was still very excited. Originally, she had no extravagant expectations that this piece of ore would fetch a high price. As an auctioneer, she can get a commission of one ten thousandth of each item. Now that this item is auctioned for 60 million, she can easily get some windfall.
"I announce that this precious ore has been acquired by that gentleman. You can go to the backstage to trade now, or you can wait for the auction to end and then trade in the backstage..."
Tang Xiu didn't hesitate and rushed backstage immediately. He must grab the precious ore that he urgently needs now, the Sky Cracking Stone, as soon as possible.
acceptance!
Payment!
The transaction went smoothly, and Tang Xiu soon returned to his seat at the auction venue with the Sky Cracking Stone.
Miao Wentang had a smile on his lips. Although he was full of confusion, he didn't understand why Tang Xiu had to buy that piece of ore. However, this was Tang Xiu's privacy. He didn't ask any more questions, but smiled and whispered. : "Congratulations to Mr. Tang for winning the treasure."
"Um!"
Tang Xiu nodded, hesitated, and said, "In the future, please call me another name! Just call me Tang Xiu. I will also call you by your name."
"This... good!"
Miao Wentang looked at Tang Xiu's indifferent expression and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
The item auction went very quickly, and Tang Xiu also admired the eloquent auctioneer. The original value of many items was not very high, but with her witty words of encouragement, many people's emotions were aroused and they donated generously, causing the prices of the items to rise steadily.
"Talent!"
This word suddenly appeared in Tang Xiu's mind.
Early in the morning.
The auction is coming to an end, and it is also the final highlight of this auction.
"What is being auctioned below is the second to last item in our auction. It is also a treasure that countless people are paying attention to: Millennium Ginseng. As we all know, in today's era of rapid technological development and severe exploitation of forests and mountains, if you want to get real wild ginseng, It is already a very difficult thing. And wild ginseng that is thousands of years old is even rarer and pitiful."
"Such a treasure, who can get it tonight?"
"I announce that the bidding has begun!"
After the auctioneer Xiao Ai finished speaking, he took a step back to hand over the bidding stage to the visitors below.
"Sixty million!"
"Seventy million!"
"Seventy-five million!"
"Eighty million..."
“…”
Tang Xiu was not in a hurry to participate, he was waiting for the final competition.
However!
The price kept rising, reaching 180 million in just two minutes. This price is not something he can purchase with the funds he currently has.
"The difference is 10 million now, but I'm afraid it won't be that much later. Do you really want to borrow money from Jia Ruidao? Jia Ruidao was allocated 250 million. Including his principal, it should be more than 300 million. But he still owes foreign debts, and after paying off the foreign debts, I’m afraid there won’t be much left.”
Tang Xiu's mind was racing, hesitating whether to ask Jia Ruidao to borrow money. Moreover, it is easy to borrow money, but is it difficult to pay it back? After all, it is easily hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if the capital can invite Kang Xia to work for him, even if he is ready to set up a company to do business and make money, how long will it take to earn hundreds of millions of dollars? How long will it take to pay off Jia Ruidao's money
Half a minute later.
Tang Xiu made a decision in his mind: borrow it.
He believed in his ability and was not willing to miss this thousand-year-old ginseng.
Tang Xiu left his seat and went to the last corner of the auction venue to make a phone call. He learned that Jia Ruidao had paid off 220 million in foreign debt and now had 80 million left. Tang Xiu was not polite and directly borrowed the 80 million.
"Ding… "
A few minutes later, he received a text message on his mobile phone prompting that 80 million was transferred to his bank account.
"Two hundred and eighteen million, is there a higher buyer? If not, this thousand-year-old wild ginseng belongs to that gentleman." The auctioneer asked loudly with an excited expression.
Tang Xiu looked at the silent guests around him, slowly raised the sign in his hand, and said, "Two hundred and twenty million."
Auctioneer Xiao Ai's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Sure enough, a boy comes out of a hero. This handsome gentleman bid 220 million, which is really a big deal. Today's scene reminded me of a saying: A boy comes out of a hero, Jiang It’s no longer spicy. I think there should be no one who bids higher than this handsome gentleman, right? If not, this thousand-year-old ginseng belongs to this handsome gentleman!”
“…”
Many people in the auction venue showed angry expressions. They agree with the saying "Heroes come from youth", but "Ginger is no longer hot when he is old" makes many people feel angry after hearing this.
A fat middle-aged man in the front row, with a young girl next to him, tugged on the gold chain around his neck, raised the millions-worth Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist, and said in a rough voice:
"Two hundred and thirty million."
"Two hundred and fifty million!"
Tang Xiu's eyes burst out with a cold light, and he shouted in a deep voice.
The fat middle-aged man pushed away the young boy beside him, turned around and glared at Tang Xiu fiercely, then gestured with his middle finger and shouted loudly: "Three hundred million!"
"Wow..."
Everyone in the entire auction venue was shocked by the fat middle-aged man's offer.
Three hundred million
A thousand-year-old wild ginseng was auctioned for a sky-high price of 300 million
Everyone began to whisper among themselves:
"What is the origin of this stupid fat man? He can actually spend 300 million to buy a thousand-year-old ginseng? I definitely think that what he eats only grows meat, not brains. The value of a thousand-year-old wild ginseng is only 100 million at most Fifty million, if it’s more, you’ll be taken advantage of.”
"Stupid, even if this thousand-year-old ginseng is precious, it won't cost 300 million, right? He is obviously competing with that young man."
"Idiots! There are idiots every year, especially this year. Does that damn fat guy have money to burn?"
“Foolish people have too much money!”
“…”
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes, looked at the provocative eyes of the fat middle-aged man, and sighed secretly in his heart. He couldn't afford it. The highest he could offer was 250 million, and he couldn't afford any more.
"Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it."
This sentence came to Tang Xiu's mind, and he finally smiled bitterly. He was once very rich, and as long as it was something he liked, there was almost nothing he couldn't buy. Therefore, he is well aware of the power of money. But now, he is starting all over again and is seriously short of funds.
finally.
Thousand-year-old wild ginseng was obtained by the fat middle-aged man.
"The show is about to begin."
Miao Wentang, who was sitting next to Tang Xiu, was slightly excited and whispered.
Tang Xiu said in surprise: "Thousand-year-old ginseng is the most expensive item on the list of auction items. It should be the last one, right? Are there other items that are not on the list?"
Miao Wentang whispered: "Mr. Tang... Tang Xiu, you have never participated in a redbud auction before, so you don't understand its rules. In every auction, there will be an item that is not listed on the list. The grand finale.”
"I see!"
Tang Xiu suddenly realized it and had some expectations for this last item. He didn't buy the thousand-year-old ginseng at auction, and he didn't spend the money in his hand. Maybe the last item was what he needed.
suddenly.
All the lights in the auction venue were turned off. Then, a dim white light shone on the auctioneer from above. Finally, the image projected by the projector appeared on the wall behind the auctioneer.
