Chapter 381 2 small goal
The man in a suit who was holding up a sign and shouting just now was the white glove of a big boss in Hong Kong Island. He came here today just for the thousand-year-old ginseng. However, the money he had today was not even enough to bid at the starting price.
He had just sent someone out to call for backup. Now, he was just stalling for time and waiting for his little brother to come back.
"Please rest assured, sir. We have already asked a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in Hong Kong to authenticate this thousand-year-old ginseng. It cannot be fake."
"Now, let us present today's finale - the thousand-year-old ginseng."
As the host finished speaking, the curtain behind the booth opened to both sides. It turned out that the thousand-year-old ginseng had always been behind the curtain. On the left and right, there were two bodyguards protecting the ginseng.
There were three elderly people standing behind him. None of the wealthy people present here today did not know these people. They were the best old Chinese medicine practitioners in Hong Kong Island at the moment.
The profession of doctor becomes more popular as one gets older, especially those who practice traditional Chinese medicine.
"Are the three people above Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Zhang?"
"Yes, yes, that's right. The one in the middle is Doctor Chen. My grandfather fell ill some time ago. We went to all the best hospitals in Hong Kong Island, but in the end, Doctor Chen had to help. He took some medicine and now he's eating and drinking. He's in better shape now than before he got sick."
"Yes, that's right. I didn't expect that Christie's would invite all three of them this time. It seems that the thousand-year-old ginseng above is definitely not fake."
"Yeah, unfortunately, the starting price is 100 million. I have no chance this time."
"Yes, the starting price is 100 million, and the final transaction price will definitely not be less than 150 million. I just don't know who will get it in the end?"
With the appearance of the three masters of traditional Chinese medicine in Hong Kong, the wealthy people participating in the auction finally had a bottom line in their hearts. Now it depends on who has more financial resources.
"Okay, now the auction of the thousand-year-old ginseng has officially started. The reserve price is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and there is no upper limit."
As the host finished speaking, someone raised a sign and started bidding. And it was not just 100 million yuan, but directly million yuan.
"The gentleman at No. 15 is offering million. Are there any other bidders?"
"One hundred and twenty million at a time, one hundred and twenty million..."
"One hundred and fifty million." Before the second call of one hundred and twenty million was finished, someone raised the price.
During the auction, Li Chaoren and Bao Shoufu both raised their prices. However, the man in the suit who initially delayed the auction was the one who finally made the deal. When he offered 200 million and introduced himself, no one dared to raise the price.
It seems that this kid has quite a lot of power behind him! After he introduced himself, no one present dared to bid.
However, Liu Ping'an had already prepared for this, which was why he had set the starting price at a small target. In his previous life, when Liu Ping'an was doing archaeology online, he also saw news about thousand-year-old ginseng.
In the 90s, there was half a thousand-year-old ginseng in Hong Kong Island, and it was finally sold for the price of two small targets.
With reference to the current time and future inflation, the purchasing power of money is getting worse and worse. The initial 100 million is Liu Ping'an's mental price for this ginseng.
As for the extra money in the future, except for the commission for Christie's, the rest are all unexpected surprises. Anyway, Liu Ping'an has a lot of these things in his space. Even now, his clone Xiao Xuan in Hong Kong Island still has seven or eight of them.
They were forced to be pulled out in order to leave more space for the growth of the two thousand year old ginseng in this space.
At this moment, in the reception room of Christie's auction, the auction house is settling today's final payment for Xiao Xuan. To be honest, this auction house still has some credibility, at least the customer information is still well protected.
Moreover, they don’t care where the items come from, as long as they are really valuable. It’s best if they are worth more, so that they can receive more commissions.
However, no matter how good a system is, as long as it is implemented by people, there will be loopholes.
Just as Liu Ping'an's funds had just arrived, the door of his office was forcibly opened from the outside. Five or six strong men broke in.
Xiao Xuan used the Tai Chi diagram to scan and found that this group of people were all carrying weapons. This group of people was the one who just bought his thousand-year-old ginseng for 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
The 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars that Liu Ping'an just received was the money that this group of people just transferred to the auction house next door. After deducting the % commission, this much was left. However, when the staff was receiving him, they accidentally let out the news about Xiao Xuan.
The group learned that the seller of the thousand-year-old ginseng was in the next room. After paying, they drank tea in the room. They were waiting to meet the seller of the ginseng to see if he had any other ginseng in his hands. If so, they would take it all.
The manager of the auction house was stunned when he saw these people coming in. This, this, this is over.
"It's you. What are you doing here? Who let you in?"
"Get out, get out, get out quickly, security, security..."
Before the manager's second security guard could shout out, he saw the man take out a black object from his waist, which kept getting bigger in his eyes.
The manager also tactfully shut his mouth, retreated obediently to the corner, and no longer made any sound.
After dealing with the manager, the man in a suit holding a gun came to Liu Ping'an's clone Xiao Xuan and said arrogantly: "Boy, did you get the thousand-year-old ginseng?"
"Are there any more? If there are, I'll take whatever you set as the reserve price, 100 million Hong Kong dollars."
Hearing the visitor say this, Liu Ping'an, who was far away in Sijiu City and synchronized with Xiao Xuan's consciousness, laughed out loud. This local gang was really too rude.
It seems that if I hadn't been inside Christie's today, I would have been robbed by these people.
However, Liu Ping'an was also a shrewd person. It had only been less than a month since he had asked Lawyer Chen to get Xiao Xuan's Hong Kong identity, so he couldn't just let it go to waste.
In the end, he sent these people away with a smile.
However, Liu Ping'an had no intention of letting them go. He had already marked these people with his mental power. He also marked the thousand-year-old ginseng with a tracking mark.
He wanted to see which local gang was so rude. It was still the 80s in Hong Kong Island, and there were still a few years to go before 97. He would not be as timid as he was in the mainland.
