"Qin Ming, I am also a girl after all. We are both like this now. You must always be responsible for me, right?"
Xu Xinyao said quietly.
"Responsible? This..."
Qin Ming was dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond.
Seeing Qin Ming's helpless look, Xu Xinyao smiled and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, I'm joking with you, I just want to tease you, you don't have to take it seriously!"
Xu Xinyao rolled her eyes at Qin Ming, feeling somewhat disappointed.
"Xinyao, I'm sorry. You should know that Wanqing and I just broke up not long ago, and I can't forget her yet..."
Qin Ming sighed.
He knew Xu Xinyao's affection, and he was somewhat touched by Xu Xinyao's meticulous care these days.
Moreover, he is single now, and he once considered that he might as well be with Xu Xinyao, so why bother with the Lin family's arrogance!
However, the person he loved most in his heart was Lin Wanqing, and he could never let go of his feelings for Lin Wanqing.
"It doesn't matter, I can wait until you forget about Lin Wanqing!"
Xu Xinyao said firmly.
"What's the matter with you?"
"I'm an orphan, and I'm divorced. I'm not good enough for you at all. Why do you waste your time and great youth on me?"
Qin Ming smiled bitterly.
"I do!"
Xu Xinyao bit her silver teeth, suddenly brought her pretty face in front of Qin Ming, and pressed a sweet kiss on Qin Ming's cheek.
Feeling the warmth on his cheeks, Qin Ming hurriedly jumped off the bed as if he was electrocuted.
"Um... Xinyao, it's getting late. Let's wash up and have something to eat, and then go to the auction."
Qin Ming smiled awkwardly and fled as if running away.
I opened Xu Xinyao's room and went back to my own room to wash up.
…
After leaving the hotel, Qin Ming and Xu Xinyao drove all the way to the auction in the city.
This auction is the largest auction in Luohai City, and also the largest auction in several surrounding cities. Every auction held will attract many wealthy celebrities and art collectors to participate.
When Qin Ming and Xu Xinyao arrived, the large open-air parking lot outside was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars, and Linliang was full of them.
According to the relevant procedures and arrangements of the auction, Qin Ming and Xu Xinyao paid a deposit of two million and then received a number plate and a photography album.
The number plates Qin Ming and Xu Xinyao received were No. 1603, which was used to hold up placards during bidding.
The photography album collects all the items for today's auction, and even marks the starting price, estimated transaction price and market price, providing the greatest convenience for customers to bid.
The auction venue is located in the lobby on the first floor of the building.
At this time, the place was already full of people. Looking around, there were at least a thousand people, all of whom were rich and well-dressed celebrities, or some professional collectors who loved antique calligraphy and paintings, and even some children of aristocratic families.
wait.
Qin Ming and Xu Xinyao entered the venue, found their seats according to the number plates and sat down.
Right in front of the auction is a large stage.
There were many sturdy security personnel in black clothes around the stage, responsible for maintaining the order of the auction.
Next to it, there are seven or eight good-looking young waitresses in uniforms, who specialize in providing tea, snacks and other services to customers.
Not long after, the auction
The meeting will be officially held.
An imposing middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, strode onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first. I, Yang Jun, am the person in charge of this auction..."
"Welcome everyone to come and participate in this auction..."
The middle-aged man said a few opening remarks, then he signaled the waitress to bring up the auction items and began to auction them one by one.
There are many types of auction items, including antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry and art, etc. The starting prices range from low to high, but most of the final transaction prices are about three or four times higher than the starting price. .??.
Of course, there are also some very unpopular items, and occasionally they will go unsold, but this is very rare.
Qin Ming's target this time was the wild ginseng that was over 500 years old. He had no interest in the other auction items.
On the contrary, Xu Xinyao was very interested and spent millions to take pictures of two pieces of antique porcelain, planning to give them to Mr. Xu as ornaments when she returned home.
As the auction was halfway through, the atmosphere gradually reached its peak. Yang Jun finally signaled the waiter to bring up the wild ginseng that was over 500 years old.
"The next auction item is a wild ginseng that is more than 530 years old. It is also one of the three grand finales of our auction, with a starting price of 30 million!"
"Each price increase must not be less than five million!"
Yang Jun said simply.
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar at the scene.
"The starting price is 30 million? This is too expensive!"
"Yes, do you really think we are fools?"
…
Everyone in the audience was whispering to each other and talking about it.
In fact, everyone knows about wild ginseng that is more than 500 years old.
It's a good thing, hard to come by, and the starting price of 30 million is not too outrageous.
But the problem is that medicinal materials are not finished products, and they are of no use after being bought. They can only save or collect them at a high price, which is useless.
And according to the situation of other auction items, the starting price of 30 million will require at least 100 million to be sold.
Even if there are many people in front of them who are rich and famous in the business world, the price of 100 million is not a small sum for them. It is not cost-effective to spend so much money to buy useless medicinal materials, and many people have chosen to give up.
Seeing everyone's lack of interest, Qin Ming sat up straight and felt very excited.
He hopes that the fewer people participating in the auction, the better, so that he has a greater chance of winning the medicinal materials!
"I'll pay 35 million!"
"I'll pay 45 million!"
"I'll pay 60 million!"
…
Several children from aristocratic families took a fancy to this wild ginseng and raised their bids one after another. The price soon reached 80 million.
"I'll give you 100 million!"
At this moment, Qin Ming suddenly raised the number plate in his hand and quietly quoted the price.
Many children of aristocratic families know that this wild ginseng is worthless. Now that Qin Ming has offered a price of 100 million, which is already quite high, they are hesitant to give up.
"The first time in a hundred million!"
"One hundred million second..."
Yang Jun said calmly.
The estimated transaction price given in the photo album was around 100 million. The price quoted by Qin Ming had reached his inner expectation and he was very satisfied.
It's just that Qin Ming looked very unfamiliar. He couldn't guess which family Qin Ming belonged to in Luo Hai City, and he didn't even bat an eyelid when he offered such a high price.
This surprised him somewhat.
