There are many types of auction items, including antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry and art, etc., and the starting prices range from low to high.
Qin Ming's target this time was the Tianshan Snow Lotus that was over 500 years old, and he had no interest in other auction items.
However, some of the young men from aristocratic families and wealthy young men around him were very interested. One after another, they made bidding sounds in Qin Ming's ears from time to time.
Even Lin Wanqing, Ke Rui, and Zheng Yu couldn't help but spend millions each to take pictures of a few antiques, calligraphy, paintings, small ornaments, etc.
As the auction was halfway through, the atmosphere gradually reached its peak. Yang Jun finally signaled the etiquette lady to bring up the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
"The next auction item is a Tianshan Snow Lotus that is more than 520 years old. It is also one of the treasures of our auction. The starting price is 30 million!"
"Each price increase must not be less than five million!"
Yang Jun said simply.
Looking at the Tianshan Snow Lotus on the stage that had been dried and preserved but still white and translucent in appearance, Qin Ming's spirit perked up and he immediately became interested.
On the contrary, all the children from aristocratic families and young men from wealthy families around him became uninterested.
After all, medicinal materials are not finished products, and this Tianshan Snow Lotus is of little use to them. Even if they buy it, they can only save it or collect it, which is useless.
However, medicinal materials that are more than 500 years old are rare and rare, and they are hard to come by. Even though most people have no interest in them, there are still many people who want to buy them for collection and preservation so that they are prepared for emergencies.
"I'll pay 35 million!"
"I'll pay 50 million!"
"I'll pay 65 million!"
…
Several children from aristocratic families took a fancy to this Tianshan Snow Lotus and raised their bids one after another. The price soon reached over 70 to 80 million yuan.
"I'll give you 100 million!"
Qin Ming raised the number plate in his hand and quietly quoted the price.
r> In fact, the market price of medicinal materials that are about 500 years old is only about 100 million. The last time the wild ginseng was auctioned for a sky-high price of 300 million, it was because Zheng Yu bid with him at that time.
Now that there is no competition from Zheng Yu, he believes that he will be able to successfully photograph this Tianshan Snow Lotus this time!
Things turned out just as he expected.
Many children from aristocratic families know that medicinal materials are useless, and now that Qin Ming's price of 100 million is already quite high, many of them have chosen to give up.
"The first time in a hundred million!"
"A hundred million times for the second time!"
"Third one hundred million..."
Yang Jun said calmly.
He knew very well that the last time the wild ginseng plant was sold for 300 million, it was just luck and coincidence. This kind of good thing cannot happen every time!
Moreover, the price quoted by Qin Ming was relatively reasonable and had met his expectations. He was very satisfied.
However, just when he raised the gavel in his hand and was about to drop it, a sudden sneer rang out at the next moment.
"I'll pay 150 million!"
The handsome young man sitting in the left area made an offer.
"What?"
Qin Ming was shocked when he heard this, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to easily take pictures of the Tianshan Snow Lotus this time, but what he never imagined was that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway.
Then, he followed the sound and quickly saw the appearance of the young man clearly. The aura of the young man was gentle and sharp, giving people a feeling of arrogance based on his talent, as if he didn't take anyone seriously!
You can tell at a glance that he is no ordinary person!
"It's him!"
When Zheng Yu raised his eyes and saw the handsome and feminine young man, his face immediately darkened.
"Young Master Zheng, who is he?"
Qin Ming asked.
"He is Duan Ting, the eldest son of the Duan family, one of the three major families in Luohai City!"
Zheng Yu revealed the identity of the young man.
"The eldest young master of the Duan family?"
"Why is he competing with me for medicinal materials for no reason?"
"Could it be that their Duan family is a medical family?"
Qin Ming looked surprised and uncertain.
He knew that medicinal materials were of little use to many children from aristocratic families. Unless the Duan family was a medical family, which would be able to use such precious medicinal materials as Tianshan Snow Lotus, there would be no point in Duan Ting competing with him!
"no!"
"Duan Ting has always had a bad relationship with me!"
"It's very possible that he sees that you are my friend, so he deliberately goes against you..."
Zheng Yu explained.
In fact, his guess was correct. Duan Ting did deliberately target Qin Ming because of him.
On the other hand, the two women around Qin Ming, Lin Wanqing and Ke Rui, were so beautiful that they were too dazzling. Duan Ting was jealous of Qin Ming's beauty, so he deliberately interfered with it and wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Qin Ming.
arrogance.
"It turns out he was causing trouble on purpose!"
Qin Ming's face darkened, showing displeasure.
"First time in 150 million!"
"One hundred and fifty million for the second time..."
At this time, Yang Jun's voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between Qin Ming and Zheng Yu.
"I'll pay 200 million!"
Qin Ming raised the number plate and quoted the price again.
"interesting!"
Duan Ting glanced in Qin Ming's direction playfully.
He also knew that the medicinal materials were of little use to ordinary people. Now that he saw Qin Ming raising the price to 200 million, he immediately guessed that Qin Ming was determined to get this Tianshan Snow Lotus!
If that's the case, then why is he so polite?
"I'll pay 300 million!"
Duan Ting smiled sinisterly and raised the number plate in his hand again.
"I'll pay 400 million!"
Qin Ming's face turned cold and he continued to increase the price.
"I'll pay 500 million!"
Duan Ting followed closely.
"you……"
Qin Ming's expression changed drastically, and his eyes almost burst into flames when he looked in Duan Ting's direction.
He and Duan Ting had no grievances, and the Tianshan Snow Lotus was of no use to Duan Ting, but the other party deliberately raised the price again and again to trick him.
No matter who it was, they would probably feel very angry.
"cut……"
Feeling Qin Ming's anger, Duan Ting gave Qin Ming a very contemptuous look in return.
"I'll pay 600 million!"
Qin Ming forced himself to hold back his anger and raised his number plate again.
Although he knew that Duan Ting was deliberately plotting against him, in order to refine the intermediate True Yuan Dan and fulfill his promise to Xu Xinyao, he had to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus this time!
Even if the other party doubled the price, he would have no choice but to keep up.
"What? Six hundred million?"
"Who is this kid? A useless medicinal plant was auctioned for a sky-high price of 600 million. Is he crazy?"
…
Everyone took a breath and looked at Qin Ming as if they were looking at Sha Bi.
They could all see that Duan Ting was clearly teasing Qin Ming on purpose, but Qin Ming knew this and still refused to give in.
What else could this be if it wasn't a brain retardation!
