Chapter 101 The Birth of Sky-high Tea

Time passed by, and a new week began.

On this day in Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are still classrooms, dormitories, and piano rooms at three points and one line.The members of the training class are already very familiar with him, and they will greet him every day when they meet.The longer they studied piano with Suhang, the more they respected this young man who was about their own age.

Even Professor Zheng was lamenting that after a while, in the hearts of the members of the training class, the prestige of an old professor like him would not be comparable to that of Suhang.But Professor Zheng didn't think there was anything to be sad about, on the contrary he was very happy.Although Suhang was reluctant to formally join the training class, it was always a knot between him and the old principal.But seeing that the members of the training class and this young man can get along well, what does it matter if it is formal or not?

On the morning of this day, the city auction house held an auction.

The tea from Suzhou and Hangzhou was brought in by Zhan Wenbai on Sunday.The reserve price of [-] yuan for a piece made the staff of the auction house very surprised.If they hadn't known Zhan Wenbai and knew that he was a successful entrepreneur, they would have wondered if he was here to make a joke.Although Huan'an's economy is developing at a high speed, it is still only in the third tier, and there is no famous tea.

The highest price of the tea that appeared in this auction was only [-] yuan per catty, which is considered very high.And now, what Zhan Wenbai sent is about to break the record?

Even though they knew Zhan Wenbai, the staff still followed the rules and invited an appraiser to do the valuation.If the appraiser believes that the value of the commodity does not match the reserve price provided by Zhan Wenbai, the auction owner will decide the auction price by itself.Regarding this, Zhan Wenbai dismissed it, and directly took out his mobile phone to make a call, saying: "There is a little trouble in the tea auction, and I would like to ask you to be a guarantee."

After all, he handed the phone to a person in charge of the auction house.The man answered the phone, and heard the voice of an old man full of spirits from inside: "This tea is one hundred thousand yuan, and I will guarantee it."

The voice was familiar, but not very sure, the person in charge asked hesitantly, "Are you..."

"I'm Song Yongnian!" The old man replied.

The person in charge gasped, Song Yongnian?The most famous Song old Chinese doctor in the city?He actually wants to guarantee this kind of sky-high tea?

Zhan Wenbai frowned at the side, and said, "There's no surprise, when you open your mouth on the day of the auction."

When Song Yongnian, an old Chinese doctor on the phone, heard this, he also said in passing: "I will also participate in the auction on Monday, so don't worry about not being able to sell it. If no one buys it, I will take care of all the tea leaves by myself!"

The person in charge was dumbfounded when he heard this, while Zhan Wenbo muttered: "The old man really thinks about the beauty..."

With Mr. Song as a guarantee, what appraiser should be hired.Thus, the tea went directly to the auction catalogue.It's just a rush of time, without any publicity. When many people see a piece of tea with a base price of [-] yuan from the Internet, they wonder if they have written four more zeros?Also, is that tea in the picture?It looks like a jade carving, the website of the auction house was hacked?Or did the maintenance staff show their brains and sent the wrong photo?
Zhan Wenbai said he was happy to hear such a thing.The less people know about this tea, the happier he is, because that means he has the opportunity to take more pictures.

There were fifty tea leaves left by Suhang in Tang Zhenzhong.According to his idea, half of them will be given to Zhan Wenbai, and the other half will be auctioned off.But Zhan Wenbai didn't want to take advantage of him in this matter, so he reluctantly kept ten pieces, and sent the rest to the auction.That night, after drinking spirit tea once, Zhan Wenbai suddenly felt that he was such a fool.

If you want to take advantage of it or not, you should keep all fifty pieces!Such a top-quality tea, even if it is scolded, it is worth it!

Especially when Tang Zhenzhong said triumphantly that Suzhou and Hangzhou had given him hundreds of tea leaves, Zhan Wenbai wanted to slap himself even more.

Sure enough, as the old saying goes, a thick-skinned eats a piece of meat, but a thin-skinned eats nothing.

Regardless of what he thought, the auction went ahead as scheduled.

Because it is only an auction in a "small city" and there will not be too many treasures, there are not many visitors.There are even quite a few who just come to join in the fun. Anyway, the deposit will be refunded, and there is no loss if you shoot or not.

Of course, most of those who dare to come to the auction are successful businessmen.Who dares to come here to make a fool of himself without any wealth?Therefore, when you see acquaintances, you will say hello to each other.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Huang? Why are you interested in the auction?" Someone walked up to one of the rows of seats and couldn't help being surprised to see a man in a suit with a big belly.This Mr. Huang has always thought that auctions are a scam, they are just raising prices indiscriminately, and you can't buy good things, so you never come here. Why did you change your sex today?

Mr. Huang laughed and said, "It's okay to be idle, just watch it casually, it's time to watch a movie."

"Ya Chi, Ya Chi." The man believed it and sat beside him.

Soon someone found an acquaintance again: "Manager Tang? I heard that you came back from abroad for vacation. Why did you come here? What good things do you like?"

Manager Tang also laughed and said, "I didn't see anything, so I just came and sat around, and I might leave after a while."

"Boss Ma, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here. What do you want to buy?"

"Hehe, I don't buy anything, my back hurts from sitting at home, so I go out for a walk."

Similar conversations are staged everywhere in the auction hall.Few people have noticed that these people who claim not to buy anything will glance at other people vaguely from the corner of their eyes, and their eyes are full of vigilance.

Zhan Wenbai was also among these people. In comparison, his mentality was much more relaxed.Because I already have ten pieces of spiritual tea in my hand, and I have a good relationship with Suhang, this time I came to participate in the auction purely to support Suhang.After greeting a few acquaintances, when asked why he came, Zhan Wenbai also smiled and said: "No reason, the sun is hot outside, come in and blow on the air conditioner."

Hearing this answer, the corners of the person who asked the question twitched.It's cloudy outside, where does the sun come from?Besides, did you deliberately pay a deposit to come in and blow the air conditioner?You're thinking of me as an idiot!

When the auction was about to start, Mr. Song also came.Many people stood up to say hello, surprised by the arrival of this old Chinese doctor.Mr. Song responded one by one, and seemed to be in a good mood.When asked why he came here, the old Chinese doctor said with a smile, "I'm tired from walking, so come in and have a rest."

Everyone was speechless for a while, this level of lying was comparable to that of Zhan Wenbai.

His arrival made many people more interested in today's auction.After careful observation for a while, many people have discovered a surprising phenomenon.Most of the middle-level people in Huan'an City came today.Could it be that this auction will be different?
In the confusion of some people, the auction officially started.

The first one is a diamond ring from a jewelry store with a base price of [-].Although the diamond on the ring setting was not small, the people who came here were all experts, and they could tell at a glance that the highest value was eighty to ninety thousand.Something like this is too single-purpose, and few people will buy it.When someone bid [-], no one raised the sign anymore.

The second item is a limited-edition women's bag, the original price is 28, and now the base price is 18.This thing can be used to coax your wife, lover, and mistress, and it has many uses.Many people bid, and finally [-] were bought.

The next few items were of very low value, and some even sold for only a few thousand yuan.

Each item was either sold or passed in auction until No. 13. The host tapped the gavel and said, "This time there are many treasures. Bid in batches. The reserve price is [-]."

Many people were a little surprised. They had all read the catalogue. There were not many items with a starting price of [-] yuan. After much deliberation, there was only that one item.Soon, a small trolley was pushed up, with cloth bags placed on it.The host opened one of the bags and said: "This is a piece of tea. It is not well-known, but it is the best in the world. Not only is it exquisite in appearance, it is as crystal clear as a jade carving, and the brewed tea is also mellow and charming. Most importantly, every piece of tea leaves , all have different effects. Some can make women give birth to body fragrance, which lasts for more than a month. Some can make people energetic and forget what fatigue is. There are a total of forty tablets, and the pieces are hard to find in the world!"

This introduction made some people couldn't help curling their lips.What are you bragging about? If tea has such an effect, what health care products and cosmetics do you need?When did the auction house degenerate into a liar?
Some simply got up and left, vowing never to come to such a boring auction again.

But more people stayed because the host's final words were: "These tea leaves are guaranteed by Mr. Song Yongnian, the most famous Chinese medicine doctor in Huan'an City, and they are worth looking forward to!"

It has to be said that the three words Song Yongnian are golden signs.Many people looked at the old Chinese doctor in surprise. He vouched for this inexplicable tea?Could it be that this is medicinal tea?
But even herbal tea doesn't have that complicated effect, and one hundred thousand tablets is too expensive.

After being questioned, Mr. Song replied: "Oh, it's not a good thing. The children at home are growing it for fun. I'm here to support it. Don't join in the fun."

Zhan Wenbai murmured in his heart: "Old fox... for the sake of tea, I don't want face..."

The host took the piece of tea, tapped the gavel, and said, "Then, the first piece of top-quality tea has a base price of [-] yuan, please bid."

"11!" As soon as the host finished speaking, someone shouted the price.

Seeing Mr. Huang who raised his placard excitedly, the person next to him was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Huang, didn't you say you want to watch a movie?"

"Ah, yes, yes, watching a movie, yes, that's right." Mr. Huang nodded repeatedly.

"12!" A customer of Guilaixuan who had drunk spirit tea followed closely and raised a sign.

Mr. Huang's eyes widened, he didn't have time to speak, he raised his sign and shouted, "13!"

The person next to him was dumbfounded. Is this really for watching a movie?

"15." Mr. Song also raised his sign.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for most people to hear.The corner of one person's eyes twitched, and he asked, "Old Song, are you really here to rest your feet?"

Old Mr. Song laughed and said, "Yes, I'm getting old and my hands and feet are not flexible, so I need to rest."

The man was even more speechless. Looking at Elder Song's right hand holding the sign, which was as steady as Mount Tai, he thought to himself that you are inflexible, so are we all demented?
