The red copper alchemy furnace is in the shape of a gourd. The lower body is about the size of a volleyball, and the upper body is about the size of an adult's fist. There are three middle-finger-sized gaitianhou facing outwards, carrying the body of the furnace. The three legs of the alchemy furnace are on the foreheads of the three gaitianhou. Inlaid with a round ball the size of a thumbnail.
On the left and right sides of its upper body, there are also two sky-looking roars, with their tails pointing towards the sky, holding the mouth of the furnace in their mouths to form two ears of the elixir furnace. There is a crescent-shaped object inlaid on the upturned tail end of the two sky-looking roars. The mouth is covered with a furnace cover.
Looking at this furnace, it is stained with rust all over, with mottled copper color, and an atmosphere of vicissitudes of life. If Hu Mingxian and Ji Linyue were not practitioners with extraordinary eyesight and spiritual consciousness, It is also difficult to see clearly that the five little beasts are Wangtianhuan above Huabiao.
However, this furnace is a genuine alchemy furnace!
As soon as the alchemy furnace came out, the entire auction venue was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, and those who heard it felt relaxed, as if they had suddenly become a few years younger.
The people present were all big men from all walks of life. They worked and socialized a lot, and they were physically and mentally exhausted all the year round. This feeling was especially clear to them.
The auctioneer has not yet introduced, and everyone present is very interested. Regardless of the purpose of this stove, just by placing it in the office, the scent can make people relax all the time. Compared with the five bronzes before, more practical.
The middle-aged auctioneer on the stage had a panoramic view of the expressions and gazes of the big men present. A greedy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately said: "We have tested the origin of this furnace through various methods, but we cannot determine what it is. We can’t tell what kind of material it is made from, nor can we tell which era it comes from. We can’t guarantee whether it is the legendary alchemy furnace or not. All you can do is to judge by benevolence and the wise.
But it is undeniable that the fragrance in this stove does have the effect of clearing the mind, refreshing the mind, and calming the mind. Since we received this stove, we have arranged for people to live with it for more than a month. This fragrance is not It will not cause any side effects, nor will it cause any dependence.
We guarantee this with the reputation of Jirui Company. In addition, we will also make legal agreements in the auction contract, so please rest assured.
Okay, without further ado, the auction base price for this furnace is 50 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 10 million. The auction begins. "
"One hundred million!"
Director Chen was the first to offer the price, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible to win this price, so his words were more of a suggestion.
"1.5 billion!"
Not to be outdone, Director Wang immediately followed up.
Director Zhao: “200 million.”
Director Lu: “300 million.”
…
"700 million."
When the price soared to 700 million, the venue briefly fell into a slight calm, and no one bid for the time being.
Many big guys are either talking to each other in low voices or discussing with their assistants, all thinking about whether this price or a higher price is a good deal, and whether their own cash flow can keep up.
Ji Linyue looked around and saw no one bid, so she stopped waiting. Without waiting for the auction to start reading, she directly opened the bid: "1 billion."
As soon as the price was reported, the auctioneer on the stage was as happy as flowers blooming in spring. Not only could he and his company get huge commissions from it, but Ji Rui could also rely on this auction to become the largest auctioneer in Kyoto. The auction house's reputation will reach a higher level.
The stage was overjoyed, and the audience was also noisy. After many considerations, most of the company bosses shook their heads and gave up. Regardless of the problem of cash flow or the problem of the stove itself, the price of 1 billion may no longer be worth it to them. It's worth it, after all, no one knows the age of the stove, and how long the fragrance will last is also a question.
If you buy it back, it will lose its smell soon, and your money will be wasted. Compared with those several clean bronzes, this rusty stove has little collection value.
In the final analysis, businessmen focus on profit. Once the value of a certain 'commodity' exceeds their psychological expectations, the above excuse will easily become a reason to give up.
However, a few of them, such as Director Chen, Director Wang, Director Chen, and Director Zhao, etc., have net worths in the hundreds of billions. They are among the top ten richest people in China all year round. To them, 1 billion is just a number. What really makes them give up is the person bidding.
When they auctioned those bronzes before, Tianlan Group, represented by Ji Linyue, did not bid once. This was a favor. Otherwise, even if they were able to acquire the items in the end, they would probably have to spend hundreds of millions more.
Now, after many considerations, I didn't really want to spend the money. It just happened to be a favor, which can be regarded as repaying the favor.
What's more, it can also shorten the distance with Tianlan, laying a good opportunity for the various cooperations discussed previously.
However, when many of the big guys present turned to look at Ji Linyue, they were more surprised by the handsome and masculine young man sitting next to her. They had never heard of the existence of such a young man in Tianlan Group.
But everyone present was well-informed. Seeing that the two of them were so close, they could guess some clues.
Many big bosses nodded at Ji Linyue and Hu Mingxian with smiles, indicating their attitude. Ji Linyue and Hu Mingxian also responded politely, which was regarded as acknowledging the favor. .
There are those who give face, and there are those who cause trouble.
The children of the business family headed by Su Yong looked at Ji Linyue and started to communicate with each other. Then Su Yong, the super fat man, sarcastically said: "Tianlan Group is really rich and powerful, and such a gadget can... It costs 1 billion. In my opinion, this money is better spent on some skills training program..."
"Who says it's not the case...Why, they are also showing patriotic feelings..."
"How come you are the only ones who can buy it, but Tianlan is not allowed to buy it..."
"You can buy it... why can't you buy it... I just can't stand people doing their own private things out of patriotism... Maybe this time it's a broken plan, and people still get N many benefits from the country..."
"..."
For a moment, you said something, I said something, sarcastically or ironically, those children from business families spoke happily without any scruples, causing many big bosses present to frown in displeasure.
But no one came forward to speak. Firstly, Tianlan didn't need their help yet. Secondly, they had more or less cooperative relations with each other, and no one would offend anyone easily.
There are no eternal enemies among businessmen, only eternal interests. Sometimes, two giant companies that compete fiercely with each other may be extremely close partners in another field.
"If you want to buy, just bid. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out." After scanning the group of people with cold eyes, Hu Mingxian was too lazy to pay attention anymore and said calmly to the stage: "Auctioneer, you have seen enough of the show. Isn't it time to fuck you?" It’s over.”
Hu Mingxian had N ways to buy the stove at the minimum price. He could even grab it from whoever bought it without spending any money. But he didn't bother to do this. Even Su Yong and others wanted to drive up the price. He was too lazy to take care of it, and no one knew who was being tricked until the end.
"One billion, once..."
The auctioneer on the stage was a little embarrassed by Hu Mingxian's words. The reason why he didn't take the reading and delayed it for so long was to give the people in the audience more time to think about it. Now that someone had exposed it, he couldn't delay it any longer. Went down.
"Hmph!" Su Yong unconsciously felt a chill in his heart when Hu Mingxian glanced at him coldly. At that moment, he had no doubts about what the young man said. He snorted coldly and forced himself to calm down: "Then let's see whose money it is. More."
"One billion, twice..."
With that said, Su Yong shouted to the auctioneer on the stage: "2 billion."
"3 billion."
Before many of the big guys present had time to react, Hu Mingxian made a direct bid almost as soon as Su Yong reported the price.
Su Yong was not to be outdone: "4 billion."
Hu Mingxian still said calmly: "5 billion."
Su Yong glanced at the children of aristocratic families around him, was stunned for a moment, and said harshly: "6 billion."
"7 billion."
"8 billion."
"10 billion."
When Hu Mingxian offered 10 billion, even if there were many big guys gathered in the venue, there were gasps of air-conditioning. These big guys who were used to seeing all kinds of scenes were not sure about this now. Does the young man really want to buy this alchemy furnace, or is he just trying to fight Su Yong.
After all, in their opinion, the price of 10 billion for a stove that is not worth 1 billion is already a serious premium. Even if they can afford 10 billion, it will not hurt their own business. They will not buy it, or even buy it. Will consider it.
"Aren't you trying to compare money with me? It's only 10 billion, so you stopped? I even asked Lin Yue for a budget of 100 billion." Seeing that Su Yong didn't speak for a long time, Hu Mingxian was not in a hurry to urge the people on stage. The auctioneer turned around, lay down a little on his back, and crossed his legs.
Hu Mingxian is determined to win this stove, and the budget of 100 billion is also real. Various medicines, medical equipment, health products, cosmetics, etc. Yuemei Company's annual net profit is more than this, not to mention the huge family business of Tianlan Group .
Su Yong was indeed stopped here. He did not expect that Hu Mingxian would raise the price so high with him. 10 billion is already the largest asset of the children of their aristocratic families. After all, they have not really taken over the control of their respective families yet. , there is simply no way to use so much funds.
But, the words have already been released...
On Su Yong's fat face, his small eyes were narrowed into two slits. He glared at Hu Mingxian fiercely and said, "11 billion."
Su Yong is certain that Hu Mingxian will increase the price without hesitation. 11 billion is all the money they can afford at present. The important thing is that as long as Hu Mingxian increases the price, they can completely relax.
Ran
"Congratulations."
"Lin Yue, let's go."
Hu Mingxian cupped his fists and cupped his hands in front of Su Yong and others. After giving a thumbs up to show his admiration, Hu Mingxian stood up, nodded to the big bosses present, pulled Lin Yue and left...
Just left...
