Just when Huo Mingwei and Huang Jiajia were looking forward to a heated bidding scene, the first cold scene occurred at the scene. Unexpectedly, after the bidding started, no one raised a sign, not a single person. In other words, no one was willing to accept even the low price.
When Xu Qian learned that Huo Mingwei had taken out a Huanhuan Dan, he was both excited and confused. What makes him excited is that he is short of medical elixirs. If he is really sleepy, someone will give him a pillow. Although he and Huo Mingwei will have to settle the general ledger sooner or later, it does not prevent him from making a deal first. What is puzzling is that China is not the Tang Dynasty. Is the recognition of cultivation objects really high enough to enter the auction?
The people who came tonight were all the upper class people in Nanhai City, so they naturally had more knowledge, maybe it was different, and Xu Qian was also looking forward to it.
But the cold scene appeared, and Huang Jiajia smiled awkwardly. This was the most testing time for her as a host. She could not let the cold scene continue. "As far as I know, the official recovery price of Huihuan Dan is 20 million yuan. The starting price provided by Mr. Huo It’s only 15 million, which is very cost-effective, and interested guests can take action without hesitation.”
The silence continued, the wealthy people in the audience all looked embarrassed, and a strange atmosphere spread in the place.
Xu Qian also felt that something was not right. Now the existence of the cultivation world has gradually become transparent. Although not everyone knows it yet, and not everyone believes it, the people who can come tonight have an unusual social status. Even in the past , they also don’t know anything about the cultivation world. At least from Huo Mingwei’s initial description, it can be seen that they know more or less about the details of the Huo family. Since the Huo family allows Huo Mingwei to bring a Huanhuan Dan for charity, they must be confident in selling it. Regardless of the price, it will not be unsold.
Huo Mingwei was also a little uneasy. He looked directly at the stage. His mind was running rapidly, thinking about how to solve the predicament at hand.
"Mingwei, you, the Huo family, sometimes stumble!" Ning Fei looked like he was trying hard to hold back his smile but was about to laugh out loud. "I sent you a document, just after dinner tonight. It’s posted, you’ll understand what’s going on after you look at it.”
Huo Mingwei's self-restraint was no longer enough to keep him smiling at this moment. He turned on the phone with a dark face. After a few seconds, Huo Mingwei's face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face.
Song Shiming also received the document from Ning Fei on his mobile phone. He brought the mobile phone to Xu Qian and browsed it together.
This is a red-headed document from the provincial government, "Several Regulations on Unofficial Transactions of Special Commodities in Yuedong Province."
The so-called special commodities in the "Regulations" refer to cultivation resources in a broad sense. Unofficial transactions refer to all transactions other than those involving the participation of Hua Wu Soul Company. Two main points are clarified: First, special commodities can only be purchased when both the buyer and the seller are present. They can only be traded freely if they have been registered with the Special Incident Handling Bureau. In other words, cultivation resources can only be circulated within the cultivation circle recognized by the Special Incident Bureau. If either party is not a monk or a black monk, the transaction is prohibited. Second, even the monk circle can only buy and sell special commodities produced locally in China. The trading of foreign special commodities is strictly prohibited under any circumstances. In fact, all the resources brought back by players from the game Land of Gods were taken away by the system. Even if the players choose to take back one-third of the physical objects, they are China's local benchmark resources, not the ones brought back by the players. A portion. This second point is only explicitly limited by the system. Even if there is no such requirement, how many players are capable of fighting the system? Unless it is someone like Xu Qian who has a space spiritual weapon, in other words, this second point can be regarded as targeting monks like Xu Qian who have special means.
In Xu Qian's view, this red-headed document was like a thunderbolt, giving him a new understanding and judgment of the entire situation.
First of all, the non-public department of the Special Branch is finally semi-public. Although this document is not for the general public, but for targeted groups. After all, the cheapest Star Source Stone among the cultivation resources has a threshold of one million, but as time goes by As time goes on, more and more people will know about it. Secondly, in the past, there were no clear regulations on whether cultivation resources could be freely bought and sold among the people. Only the Huawu Soul Company said so. Although Huawu Soul had a strong background, it was just a company after all. The profit-seeking nature of capital led to the black market. Trading is becoming more and more rampant. For example, Chen Li is teaming up with Xu Qian to resell resources privately. Now this official document has put private black market transactions under unprecedented pressure. Finally, Xu Qian vaguely felt from reading the lines that the struggle between different worlds seemed to be developing in a more intense direction. The struggle between different worlds was essentially a competition for resources, and the tightening of internal resource circulation meant that This reflects China's resource constraints. If cultivation resources are equated with war preparation materials, Xu Qian can judge that a large-scale war may be imminent.
"I will ask twice more. If there is still no one to bid, this round of auction will end and the auction items will be returned to Mr. Huo Mingwei. Which guest is willing to buy this stone at a price of 15 million yuan? Dan?”
If it weren't for the red-headed document issued by the provincial government, someone had made a bid, probably more than one person, and the price should be a little more than 20 million. Even if you don't need it, you can sell it. Who wouldn't want to make millions on the black market? If you can buy it at a low price of 15 million, and sell it directly to the official Hua Wu Soul Company of the game, you can also make millions. But now it can only be circulated within the circle of monks. These people are not monks and are not even qualified to buy. If you buy it, it will be a slap in the face to the provincial government. This document is still hot. The wealthy businessman who previously asked if he could cure vegetative state, if it could be cured, he would risk everything for his son, but it's a pity that it can't be cured.
Huo Mingwei was extremely worried. The Huo family had been humiliated this time. Let's do it as a charity. The things can't be sold yet. If the elixir is rejected and returned, it will be the biggest joke of the Huo family in recent years. Although there will not be any real loss, the reputation In many cases, image is more important than actual interests, and it is embarrassing in front of a heavyweight like Ma Yuan. It will be even more difficult to get involved with Ma Yuan in the future.
Huo Mingwei thought of a way to break the situation, that is, he would pay for the elixir to be bought back. This would be equivalent to directly donating money, and the elixir would be back in his hands. As long as things are done beautifully, his face would still be the same. What can be saved, and only at a low price, the Huo family's auction items are also the most expensive in the auction, and Ma Yuan has to recognize his affection for the Huo family.
But here comes the question, who can we find to do this care?
Huo Mingwei looked around anxiously, and after searching all over the place, only Song Shiming was suitable to help with this matter.
On one side of Song Shiming was Huo Mingwei, and on the other side was Xu Qian. Huo Mingwei and Song Shiming were biting each other. Xu Qian saw clearly and secretly laughed in his heart. Song Shiming accepted this task with great embarrassment. If Huo Mingwei had not been his real college classmate, he would never have taken on this less honorable role.
"I'm asking for the last time, is there any guest who is willing to buy this Huanan Dan at a price of 15 million?" Huang Jiajia took one last look around, and then said helplessly: "I announce..."
At this moment, Song Shiming was about to raise his hand holding the bidding card, but was held down by a strong hand.
"15 million, I want it!" A loud voice suddenly interrupted Huang Jiajia's words, causing all the guests in the room to look for the owner of the voice.
Huo Mingwei couldn't believe that it was Xu Qian who took the picture of his Huanhuan Dan. Huang Jiajia also didn't react. After waiting for so long and no one responded, she was about to announce that the auction was rejected, but someone jumped out and wanted to bid? Isn't this intentional?
None of the people present are stupid. There are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that this person had a strong inner struggle and made a decision to accept the price at the last moment. The other situation is interesting. It is clear that I want to play with Huo Mingwei. I want to buy it, but I also want to play with my heartbeat and make Huo Mingwei sick.
How could Huo Mingwei not think of this level? For Xu Qian taking a picture of his elixir, he felt no gratitude at all, but instead felt angry. He instructed Song Shiming to continue bidding, or let Xu Qian pay more, or at worst, buy it back himself. Anyway, he couldn't pay much more, so it would be good to make Xu Qian feel sick.
Unfortunately, Song Shiming was unwilling to cooperate at all. Just kidding, Xu Qian was Song Shiming's savior.
