Directly Adding 100 Million
The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was arranged to be the tenth item to be auctioned. The auctioneer was the same as the sheepskin scroll before, not having much information about it. He didn't know what this item was, and nothing like it had ever appeared in an auction before. The auctioneer had no choice but to follow the instructions on the booklet.
But he added a line during the introduction, something that Fatty Lai had specifically requested. As long as the seller's request wasn't too troublesome, the auctioneer would usually fulfill it.
"The next item is three Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing provided by Miracle Doctor Guan's medical company. The starting price for each is one million, and the three will be auctioned off in three separate rounds!" The auctioneer paused at this point, because the auction house was in an uproar!
Very few of them had heard of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, and this was the first time they'd heard of Miracle Doctor Guan's medical company. Just what kind of company was this? Just what kind of pill was the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing?
Everyone present was familiar with health supplements and cherished their lives. So, if there was really such a good thing as prolonging one's life, it was impossible for them not to know about it. However, they really didn't know about this thing that appeared in the auction!
Besides, wasn't one million a little too high? And it was only for one? Would anyone buy it? Everyone here didn't lack money, but no one was willing to waste their money!
Especially something that came out of nowhere like this. Who would even try it?
The awkward silence that followed the uproar was within the auctioneer's expectations. Something like this happened at the auction every year, so the auctioneer wasn't surprised. He continued, "This Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing can expel impurities from the body! As we all know, when humans eat grains, some toxins will accumulate in their bodies. Although some of it has been expelled, some of it remains in the body. The longer it is, the more toxins accumulate. The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing can cleanse the marrow and bones, expelling the toxins from the body and achieving the goal of extending one's lifespan! "
The auctioneer didn't quite believe the description of the pill himself. It sounded like the strength pills of the martial arts world, and if this pill really had such an effect, then one million wouldn't be expensive at all! But was there such a thing?
"The first Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. The starting price is one million. Please bid!" The auctioneer had already made preparations for the item to be left unsold. As long as no one bid for the first item, no one would bid for the second or third item. The auction would then be dismissed and the next item would be auctioned off.
Because the auction of an antique vase took up some time, and the bidding was fierce, it was impossible for the auction to end within the estimated time. The auctioneer wanted to save as much time as possible.
Others might not understand the effects of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, but there were people here who did! Liu Tianyi understood, and so did Doctor Kang!
However, Doctor Kang didn't dare confirm whether this Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was the same as the one Kang Xiaobo had given him, or was it a scam?
"Heh, they even made a Miracle Doctor Guan. Isn't that obviously imitating you, Elder Kang?" Xiao Ji, who was sitting not too far from Doctor Kang, said mockingly. "I think this is a scam!"
He and Xiao Ben had just received the invitation today, but their father's invitation had always been golden this year. This year's invitation was red, and although they'd received three days' worth of invitations, it was clear that the Xiao family wasn't as important as it used to be!
There was nothing they could do about it. Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben were furious, but getting an invitation was already good enough. What more could they ask for? The more it was like this, the more Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben felt that they had to ally with House Kang in order to protect their position as a noble house!
Doctor Kang frowned, as if he'd thought of something, but he wasn't sure. Miracle Doctor Guan … This Miracle Doctor Guan … Could it be Guan Xuemin? He recalled that the person beside Kang Xiaobo seemed to have a good relationship with Guan Xuemin. Could it be that the true owner of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was Guan Xuemin?
Just as Doctor Kang was hesitating, someone stood up and called out a price!
"100 million!" Fatty Lai raised the card in his hand.
"Eh?" The crowd was in an uproar, including the auctioneer. They all stared at Fatty Lai, dumbfounded! He'd been the auctioneer for House Yu for ten years, but he'd never come across a situation like this! How could someone raise the price like this? An item with a starting price of 1 million was raised to 100 million in the first auction? How was that possible?
"Mister 183, please repeat your bid, I didn't hear you clearly …" It was embarrassing for the auctioneer to not hear the bidder clearly, but he didn't care anymore. The situation was too absurd, and he couldn't believe that Fatty Lai would bid 100 million. He must've heard wrong!
The auctioneer was confused, but Yu Haitian, who'd been sitting below the stage, frowned slightly. House Yu was the host, but they were also part of the auction. Yu Haitian was sitting with a middle-aged man. If one looked closely, they'd see that the middle-aged man was wearing an earpiece.
The auctioneer didn't know, but Yu Haitian knew very well that the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was provided by Fatty Lai!
Was he buying the pill himself? Or was he trying to raise the price? In the auction, there were indeed some people who wanted to raise the price of their items and participate in false bidding. The host of the auction knew this very well, and so in order to prevent this from happening, the host of the auction would take a commission, and House Yu's commission was as high as 20%!
This way, even if someone wanted to raise the price, they'd have to take a huge risk. If they succeeded, then everyone would be happy. The host of the auction would take a lot of commission, and the seller would get the price they wanted! But if they failed, the seller would have to spend money to buy their item. In other words, the host of the auction would take a 20% commission!
Of course, they could choose not to buy the item after the deal, but they'd have to pay the host of the auction a 20% commission! So no matter what, this 20% commission was a loss, and normal people wouldn't raise the price so easily!
