Chapter 35 Rejection

In the huge auction venue.

In the spotlight, the auctioneer with a suit and a very good-looking appearance hit the wooden hammer, and his loud voice spread throughout every corner of the hall:

"...The finale of this event: The Wild Mountain Ginseng King from the deep Changbai Mountain has complete roots and excellent shape. According to experts' identification, its growth year has been 176 years..."

On the projection screen in the center of the venue, the image of the Wild Mountain Ginseng King was played. Every detail was extremely clear, which caused the bidders below to whisper and whisper one after another.

As we all know, wild ginseng is becoming less and less common nowadays, and fake goods are rampant on the market. Even if there are connections and ways, many of the so-called real goods that can be bought are artificially planted in the ginseng garden in Changbai Mountain District. However, they grow longer and take care of them more carefully. The environment in the ginseng garden should be imitated as much as possible.

The wild ginseng that is purely born and does not have any human interference and has been on the age of the year is definitely not present, but it is indeed rare. It is rare to have reached hundreds of years. One occasionally appears, which will trigger many wealthy and powerful people to compete for the competition.

Therefore, a rare hundred-year-old ginseng appeared at today's auction event, which immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone in the audience.

The guests who can sit here to participate in the auction will naturally not be short of money. This King of Ginseng is a very good choice whether it is used by itself or gifts. Or buy it and collect it for a few years, and then take it out for auction after it appreciates in the future. Anyway, it will not suffer any loss.

"The starting price: 5 million, each increase must not be less than 50,000!"

The auctioneer's intriguing voice echoed in the hall.

“5.1 million.”

Someone immediately raised a bid.

"No. 29, 5.1 million!" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.

“5.3 million.”

“No. 75, 5.3 million!”

“5.4 million.”

...

“5.5 million.”

...

“5.6 million.”

...

There are obviously many bidders who are interested in this King of Ginseng. Although everyone is basically calm and rational, after multiple rounds of bidding, the price still approaches the tens of millions of marks.

By this time, most bidders gave up. After all, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars are no longer a small amount. It is one thing to like, and it is another thing to be worth it.

"…No. 88, 12.5 million! Is there any offer?"

The auctioneer's voice became more and more excited. Being able to sell an item at a high price beyond imagination was undoubtedly a very accomplishment for him.

“13 million.”

Just as he was about to finish the finale, someone suddenly raised a sign.

“No. 26, 13 million!”

The auctioneer's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

The bidder No. 88 is an elegant old man with decent clothes and gold-framed glasses, while the bidder No. 26 is a beautiful beauty with moon-browed and almond eyes, elegant and bright. Her head is as bright as clouds, her hair is covered with ice skin and jade bones, and a sky blue strapless evening dress, which looks noble but not without losing its charm.

Under the diamond-clad strapless bra, the jade peak is round and full, and the cracked clothes are about to come out. Under the hem of the high-slit skirt, the round and slender thighs are looming.

The old man who thought he was sure to win turned his head and glanced at the woman with some displeasure. After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to add another price.

“No. 88, 13.05 million!”

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, but she still didn't plan to give up.

“No. 26, 13.1 million!”

...

There were several more rounds of competition. When the price rose to 13.5 million, the old man sighed and shook his head to express his withdrawal.

"No. 26, 13.5 million once...two...three times..."

After three repetitions, the auctioneer, who was so excited that his face was red, dropped the hammer heavily, marking that this rare ginseng king finally had its own home.

The purpose of the auctioneer profession is to sell straw to gold bars and to praise the stubborn stones to the texture of beautiful jade.

The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted her towering chest, got up and walked out of the field, with four large-sleeved, round-waisted bodyguards following closely behind.

Immediately, a smart and capable professional manager came up and asked politely: "Beautiful Miss Yu, are you planning to deliver the goods on site, or are you asking us to arrange a special person to deliver them to your mansion?"

“Let’s get the on-site delivery.”

The beauty surnamed Yu said simply. She asked from many sources and finally found this century-old ginseng king. She was waiting for urgent use, so she didn't plan to delay for a minute.

"Okay, please follow me."

Following the manager to the VIP room with strict security measures, he sat down on the sofa. In less than a minute, a man in a suit as strong as an iron tower walked in with a code box, followed by four cold-looking security guards.

Put the password box on the table, the manager enters multiple passwords, and then turns it on with the key.

The brocade box containing a century-old ginseng lay in the center of soft black velvet satin, and there was also an appraisal certificate issued by the auction house, which was accepted by the buyer on-site.

The beauty surnamed Yu obviously understood this too. After checking and confirming it correctly, she signed the transaction contract with satisfaction and then directly transferred the money.

At the current exchange rate, the exchange rate of 13.5 million Hong Kong dollars into Huaxia coins is only over 10 million. After deducting various handling fees and commissions to the auction house, the remaining nine million will fall into the hands of the original owner.

At this point, even if the transaction was completed, I didn’t know that the beauty surnamed Yu had no intention of leaving, but asked the manager: “Who is this King of Ginseng? I want to talk to him alone, is that okay?”

"this……"

The manager looked embarrassed and hesitated: "Ms. Yu, you understand the company's system. Keeping customers confidential is one of the most important purposes of the auction house, so please forgive us for not giving any advice on the information about the owner of the Chan King."

"But I am one of the most important VIP customers in your bank. Can't I make an exception? I can pay the corresponding fee and explain the reasons in person to the original owner, so that you won't make it difficult for you to do it."

A woman surnamed Yu took out an exquisite black and golden card from her handbag and slapped it on the table.

"I'm sorry, even VIP-level customers do not have such special permissions." The manager spread his hands and said helplessly.

As a century-old store in the industry, the world-renowned top auction house has an unthinkable persistence in paying attention to and maintaining its own credibility. In the past, it has not encountered similar situations, but they have been firmly rejected by the auction management. Unless the original owner agrees, the auction will never disclose a word to the outside world.

The two sides argued for a while, and finally the woman surnamed Yu made a concession: "Okay, please contact the original owner and convey my meaning on your behalf to see if he is willing to agree to meet me."

"This...well."

After the manager asked for instructions through the inside line, he finally let go. This Miss Yu is a heavyweight customer of the company after all. The two parties have had many cooperation experiences, so they can't do it too much.

The woman surnamed Yu hesitated for a moment. Although she felt it was not suitable, she still said: "If the other party refuses, you can reveal my identity to him first. As long as he is willing to interview, he can get the goodwill of the Yu family."

The manager nodded and agreed, asking her to wait in the VIP room first, and then come to another room by herself.

So a few seconds later, Qin Feng, who was busy in the study, received a call from the auction house and learned that the goods had been sold and the proceeds would be transferred to his designated bank account later.

However, when the manager forwarded Miss Yu’s request, Qin Feng refused without thinking. He was just here to sell things, but he never thought of causing him extra trouble. No matter how big the other party is, it would not work well with him.

"...Mr. Qin, the other party is the daughter of the Yu family in Hong Kong Island. She has no other intentions, but she just hopes to talk to you about the possibility of subsequent cooperation. I think you should not refuse such a capable friend, right?" the manager persuaded conscientiously.

"I'll hang up first if it's okay." Qin Feng was unmoved.

He ended the call without saying a word, but the other party quickly sent another message. He clicked on it and saw that it was a photo of a beautiful woman, with her name and contact information.

"hehe……"

Qin Feng smiled indifferently and deleted the information directly. He hoped that this trick would make himself give up his principles? Do you think he had never seen a woman?

I wanted to get some more things to commission an auction, but now it seems that there is no need, so I should just work with a different auction house.
