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 and Ke Rui, as well as Zheng Yu, couldn't help but spend millions each to take pictures of several antique calligraphy and 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 young men from aristocratic families and wealthy young men 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 future 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.
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 were 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!"
"One hundred million third..."
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 expected in his wildest dreams was that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway through.
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!"
