Chapter 1325 The auction begins

"I'm not scolding anyone. You stand up. Could it be that you are farting? What can I say? This hall is filled with a strange smell. It turns out that you are farting."

Zhang Xiaotian suddenly realized.

Just when the young master of the Xiao family was blushing, a sweet voice sounded, and the whole hall became quiet again.

"Dear guests, welcome to Qiushui Villa to participate in this auction. I, along with the auction organizer, would like to extend a warm welcome to you all."

The next moment, the whole hall remembered a burst of thunderous applause. Zhang Xiaotian looked towards the stage, where a woman wearing a long skirt was standing.

Qiushui Villa! It is the largest villa in Bincheng. It is said that the owner of Qiushui Villa came from the imperial capital, but until now, few people have seen his true face in Lushan.

However, this does not affect the popularity of Qiushui Villa. It is very famous in Bincheng. No one dares to provoke Qiushui Villa, no matter whether it is black or white.

The most curious thing is that the boss behind Qiushui Villa is extremely mysterious. No one dares to underestimate Qiushui Villa.

The security of Qiushui Villa is very good, and bodyguards can be seen everywhere.

Once, a famous underworld boss in Bincheng got into an argument with someone at an auction. As a result, the bodyguards came in and beat the man to a disability. He is still in a wheelchair to this day.

It is said that the big boss called over a hundred people later, but only two people came to Qiushui Villa, and they were beaten so hard that they were unable to get up.

From then on, the Qiushui Villa became even more mysterious, and people from the upper class did not dare to cause trouble here.

Even people like the young master of the Xiao family, Dong Xianglong, have restrained themselves here.

"Hello everyone, the auction is about to begin. Let me tell you the rules of the auction. After buying the item, no one is allowed to publicize it to the outside world. Even if it is known to outsiders, they cannot let them know that it was obtained from our Qiushui Villa auction.

, otherwise our auction will hold you accountable after all, and the auction will naturally result in a high price."

After the woman said this, she bowed and walked off the stage. The people in the hall didn't pay attention. After all, it was not the first time for most of them, and the rules here were very familiar.

"Mr. Zhang, is this your first time coming to this auction?"

Shen Ziyun said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaotian nodded and said, "This is indeed my first time here, and I'm not familiar with the rules here."

Shen Ziyun nodded quickly, and then said: "The auction at Qiushui Villa is a private auction. It is held several times every year, but the format is slightly different."

For these rich young men, they have to come to such auctions every time to join in the fun, and they know the rules better than anyone else.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but become curious: "What are the forms of auctions like this?"

Shen Ziyun smiled calmly and introduced: "Most of the genuine items in this auction are personal income. If they can't find a market, they will take it to Qiushui Villa for auction. Qiushui Villa charges a commission. To put it bluntly, the auction

The Association is also a sales channel, but it’s just a little special.”

"There is also a situation where some people are in urgent need of something but cannot find the source of the goods. They cannot buy it on the market at all. They can also come to Qiushui Villa to make a reservation. Qiushui Villa has many channels and can often find those things, but

It’s just a certain commission that needs to be charged.”

Zhang Xiaotian's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard Shen Ziyun's story. According to what Shen Ziyun said, the alchemy materials he needs can be reserved at Qiushui Villa.

"The other thing is that the items you pre-ordered will still have to be auctioned, and you will get a higher price."

Shen Ziyun added.

Zhang Xiaotian nodded and understood that after all, Qiushui Villa can be regarded as a business model, which will definitely maximize profits.

But Zhang Xiaotian still has nothing in mind, because at least he doesn't have to look for it by himself.

You must know that such things as heavenly materials and earthly treasures are abominable and cannot be sought after.

“I don’t know how to make a reservation at Qiushui Villa?”

Zhang Xiaotian opened his mouth to ask questions.

"This is very simple. After the auction is over, we can directly contact the person in charge of Qiushui Villa and just give them the list of things we need. If they find these things, they will notify us immediately."

Shen Ziyun explained.

"So that's it. Let's go there after the auction is over. The Holy Medical Pavilion just happens to have some important medicinal materials."

Zhang Xiaotian said this. It was impossible for him to say that he used these things to make elixirs. This would be too shocking.

“There is no problem in booking in advance, but the deposit required is quite large.”

Shen Ziyun said.

"It's nothing. It's just that the things I'm looking for are rare things. It doesn't matter even if I spend a little money."

Zhang Xiaotian said.

Since the auction was about to begin, Mr. Dong and the young master of the Xiao family did not come to trouble Zhang Xiaotian again. After all, this was Qiushui Villa, and no one dared to cause trouble here unless they no longer wanted to live.

While Zhang Xiaotian and Shen Ziyun were chatting, the woman just walked onto the stage and spoke.

"Dear guests, good evening, everyone. The auction is about to begin. There are five lots to be auctioned at Qiushui Villa today. They are all very precious. Our Qiushui Villa always only sells genuine items. I won't say any more nonsense. So first of all

Presenting the first lot."

"The first auction item is a blue and white porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. It is of great collection significance. The starting price is 5 million, and each increase will be no less than 500,000. The bidding will begin below."

After the enchanting woman finished speaking, she remembered the bidding sound.

"Seven million!"

"Eight million!"

"Eight and a half million!"

...And this blue and white porcelain from the Qing Dynasty was finally sold to a collector for a high price of 15 million.

However, many people felt that even if this blue and white porcelain was from the Qing Dynasty, it was not worth the price, so there were not many bidders.

It's just that there are still some collectors among them. They like to collect and don't lack the money. What they lack is this thing, so naturally they don't care about the money.

Next is a calligraphy and painting, which was written by Wang Xizhi back then. This painting caused a lot of competition, and was eventually sold for a high price of 30 million.

Then Shen Ziyun also bought a teapot from the Northern Song Dynasty, which was finally sold for a high price of 20 million.

Since there were only five lots in the auction, it was soon time for the finale.

Then a woman wearing a cheongsam came up with an antique wooden box and opened it. Inside was a ginseng plant, which looked like it was no ordinary thing.

"The last item to be auctioned below is Millennium Ginseng. As we all know, ginseng has been extremely difficult to find for hundreds of years, let alone for thousands of years. Although you cannot say you will live forever if you eat this ginseng, you can still extend your life. Therefore,

Let’s all appreciate the value of this thousand-year-old ginseng.”

The enchanting woman introduced.

Hearing this, the auction venue couldn't help but burst into excitement.

"It's actually a thousand-year-old ginseng, a thousand-year-old ginseng!"
