In the auction venue, hundreds of guests who came to participate in the auction fell into silence. Buying an ore at a price of more than 500 million made them feel that it was not worth it.
Everyone looked at Ji Chimei with a somewhat strange expression.
Even more so!
Many people cursed inwardly: Is this the rhythm of rich people becoming stupid?
As the auctioneer, Zhang Xinya found that no one wanted to increase the price, so she immediately said with a smile, "Since no one wants to increase the price, then this ore belongs to Friend 0125. Do you want to go backstage now? Or do you want to go backstage after the auction ends? "
"Now!"
Ji Chimei got up and slightly nodded to Tan Xiu before leaving her seat.
However …
She bowed and nodded, causing most people's eyes to shift to Tan Xiu.
Even Zhang Xinya, who was in front of the auction stage, looked surprised. She had inquired about Tan Xiu from her best friend, Ouyang Lulu. Although Ouyang Lulu didn't say much, the tip of the iceberg made her secretly shocked.
The auction went on as usual.
A few minutes later, Ji Chimei returned with the Soul Tranquilizer Stone. After handing it over to Tan Xiu, she asked in a low voice, "Venerable Lord, we've got the thing we want to buy. Should we leave now or stay here? "
Tan Xiu thought for a while and said, "Take the Soul Tranquilizer Stone and leave first! Tell Awen to send you off. I'll stay here to see if there are any good things. "
"Understood!"
Ji Chimei replied. She looked at Tan Xiu and looked at the Soul Tranquilizer Stone a few times before handing it back to her. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly recalled something and quickly took out a bank card. She handed it to Tan Xiu and said, "Venerable Lord, there's still 9.5 billion in here. If there's anything you like, just buy it. "
Tan Xiu didn't refuse since he indeed didn't have any money. After receiving it and watching Ji Chimei leave, he secretly sighed inwardly. Ji Chimei was sensible.
Money was just a worldly possession.
He didn't care about money, but cultivation resources were in short supply. He also needed a lot of resources to train a group of confidants. It would be inconvenient for him to do a lot of things if he didn't have money. Had it been before, he would have felt a bit awkward taking the Everlasting Feast Hall's money. But now, he didn't have such a feeling. After all, the materials he gave to Ji Chimei to refine pills were priceless treasures.
However …
Two minutes after Ji Chimei left, Zhang Xinya, who was on the auction stage, said with a smile, "The next item to be auctioned is a millennium-old ginseng. As far as I know, a few months ago, Jingmen Island held an auction and auctioned a Millennium Wild Ginseng. Including this one, only two appeared this year. In addition, in the past three years, there were no auctions in the country where a thousand-year-old savage was auctioned. The base price of this thousand-year-old wild ginseng was 100 million, and each increment must be no less than 5 million. Let the bidding begin. "
Tan Xiu's eyes lit up. He hadn't seen the list of items to be auctioned, so he didn't know what else was in this auction apart from the Soulcalming Stone. When his Divine Sense instantly enveloped the thousand-year-old wild ginseng on the tray, his expression changed slightly.
"A three-thousand-year-old wild ginseng?"
After making a judgment, Tan Xiu quickly grabbed his mobile and dialed Mo Awen's number.
"Boss!"
Mo Awen's voice came from the phone.
"Tell Ji Chimei to come back," said Tan Xiu in a deep voice.
"Understood!"
After hanging up the phone, Tan Xiu's eyes were firmly locked on the three-thousand-year-old wild ginseng.
"150 million!"
After a few seconds of silence, someone directly raised the price by 50 million. Many people present knew that person. He was the Hong Kong Glasses King, Ke Zhentao.
"160 million!"
Although many people knew Ke Zhentao, a thousand-year-old wild ginseng was also a treasure that many people were determined to get. Therefore, they didn't want to be modest at this time.
"200 million!"
Ke Zhentao raised the price again.
"210 million!"
"250 million!"
"260 million!"
"270 million!"
"…"
As more than a dozen people continued to raise the price, the price of the thousand-year-old wild ginseng kept rising. In just five or six minutes, the price had broken through 350 million. The one who raised the price was still Ke Zhentao.
Tan Xiu looked at Ji Chimei, who returned to her seat next to him and lightly said, "We're now auctioning a wild ginseng. No matter how high the price is, we must get it. It will be very beneficial to Yan'Er. "
Ji Chimei's expression changed and quickly asked, "Lord, what's the current price?"
"350 million!"
Ji Chimei nodded and raised her number plate, shouting, "500 million!"
"Wow …"
Along with Ji Chimei's call, the entire auction venue was in an uproar. Hundreds of rich people who came to participate in the auction whispered to each other.
"Who's that old lady? She spent 500 million to buy a stone before, and now she raised the price by 150 million. Does she have the money to burn? "
"The value of that thousand-year-old wild ginseng is at most one or two hundred million, right? But she's willing to spend 500 million to buy it. How extravagant! "
"Who is she? Why haven't I seen her before? "
"Send someone to investigate her. We must investigate her identity and background before the auction ends. "
"There's going to be a good show today! I don't want to spend 500 million to buy a thousand-year-old wild ginseng! So I give up. "
"…"
"600 million!"
In the back corner of the venue, an old man wearing reading glasses and a Chinese tunic suit suddenly raised the number plate in his hand. When everyone looked at the old man, their complexion greatly changed.
Li Juren?
No one thought that the one who raised the bid was actually Li Juren. No one knew when Li Juren came to the auction venue!
Tan Xiu turned his head. When he saw Li Juren, his brows slightly wrinkled. He didn't know many super-rich people in Hong Kong, but he knew Li Juren. After all, he often saw the photos of this legendary richest man in Asia.
Ji Chimei turned her head and glanced at the back. Then, she raised the number plate in her hand again and said in a deep voice, "1 billion!"
"What?"
All the guests in the auction venue were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Ji Chimei would dare to compete with Li Juren for the thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Moreover, she raised the price by 400 million.
In the back row.
Li Juren was also surprised. He also didn't expect that someone would raise the price to 1 billion for a thousand-year-old wild ginseng. He originally thought that his bid of 600 million to buy the thousand-year-old wild ginseng was already in the bag.
After a moment of silence, he raised the number plate in his hand again and lightly said, "1.1 billion."
"2 billion!"
Ji Chimei didn't care about money. Even if she had to throw money, she still wanted to buy that three-thousand-year-old wild ginseng. After all, there weren't many things that were beneficial to her master. Once there was one, let alone spending money to buy it, even if she had to rob it or even kill it, she would go all out.
Li Juren stared blankly and then shook his head. He was indeed rich. 2 billion was just a small amount of money to him, but it was not worth it to buy a thousand-year-old wild ginseng.
He was a businessman!
He had his own standards for spending money. He wouldn't compete with others to buy things that were not worth it.
Hundreds of rich people in the auction venue didn't know what to say at this moment. They looked at Ji Chimei with a strange expression.
No one thought that Ji Chimei would dare to compete with Li Juren after seeing him. They didn't expect that she would raise the price by 900 million all of a sudden, making the wild ginseng's price reach 2 billion.
Zhang Xinya was also shocked at this moment. She didn't expect that the price of a thousand-year-old wild ginseng would be increased to 2 billion. She originally thought that the price of this wild ginseng would reach 500 million, which was already the limit. But now it seemed that it was four times more than what she expected!
However …
She was still somewhat happy inside. According to her agreement with the auction house, she could get a one-thousandth commission for every item auctioned. If the auctioned item could reach ten times the base price, she would get a two-thousandth commission.
'Tonight, just the commission alone should be no less than eight digits, right?'
Zhang Xinya thought happily in her heart.
Then!
Seeing that Li Juren didn't increase the price, she said, "Is there a higher bid? If not, this thousand-year-old wild ginseng will belong to Friend 0125. "
She asked several times.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Xinya immediately knocked the mallet and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Friend 0125 for obtaining this thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Would you like to go backstage to trade now? Or do you want to go backstage after the auction is over? "
"Now!"
Ji Chimei stood up and bowed to Tan Xiu again before leaving her seat.
Tan Xiu didn't intervene in the following auction.
At 10 PM.
The auction was over. As the guests got up and prepared to leave, Zhang Xinya took off her white gloves with a beaming smile and came before Tan Xiu. Her eyes glanced at Ji Chimei before she extended her hand to Tan Xiu and said with a smile, "We meet again, Mr. Tang."
Tan Xiu nodded. He found that many people around were looking at her, so he immediately said, "Has your relative's illness been cured? I heard from Chen Zhizhong that he has found the medicinal herbs you need. "
Zhang Xinya nodded repeatedly and gratefully said, "It's been cured. Thank you, Mr. Tang. If it weren't for you, I … "
Tan Xiu raised his hand to interrupt her. He then turned to look at Ji Chimei and said, "Let Awen escort you to the Victoria Port! Immediately return to Jingmen Island and put away this wild ginseng. Wait for me to come back and give Yan'Er the medicine. "
"Understood!"
With respect on her old face, Ji Chimei complied and left with Mo Awen. Mo Awen stood beside Tan Xiu like a javelin.
Zhang Xinya was surprised as she looked at Ji Chimei's departing back. When she retracted her gaze, she curiously asked, "Tan Xiu, do you know that old lady? From your conversation with her, it seems like the relationship between you two … "
"She's my subordinate," Tan Xiu calmly said.
