Leisure Mountain Village

Chapter 476 Black Pearl

The auction officially started. Lin Chen and Mr. Gu's family were sitting in front of the large transparent window in the private room. While watching the auction, Mr. Gu introduced to Lin Chen, "The auction is very simple. You have a quotation device at hand. If you like something, you can make a quotation." Input directly on the device, no need to ask for a price.”

Lin Chen said, "What will happen if I yell!?"

Mr. Gu smiled and said, "It's impossible for that kind of thing to happen, and it doesn't matter even if it happens. The quoter needs you to provide your personal information and pay a deposit of 20. If you can't pay the full amount after the quotation, the 20 The deposit will be forfeited as a penalty for breach of contract."

"At that time, the previous auction will be directly voided, and the auction house will start a second round of re-auction. This kind of thing will not happen normally. Although 20 is not a lot, no one will deliberately use 20 to make this joke. "

"And if someone really does this, it will not only lose the 20 yuan, but also offend almost everyone in the Chinese medicine industry in China." Mr. Gu said.

Lin Chen suddenly realized that the auction has been held for such a long time, and the system is very strict in all aspects, and it is almost impossible to take advantage of the loopholes.

Lin Chen uploaded his personal information on the quoter as he did to take care of the old man, and then directly paid a deposit of 20 yuan with the centurion card.

Mr. Gu also paid 20 yuan. Although he didn't have anything he wanted to photograph, but his grandson and granddaughter are here, if there is something he wants, he will definitely help to take it.

The previous auctions were all precious Chinese medicinal materials, most of which were relatively old. Among them, ginseng alone appeared four times, and the most powerful one was 30 years old.

At this time, Mr. Gu sighed, "In the past, Changbai Mountain was rich in ginseng. Among them, [-]-year-old ginseng is not considered the king of ginseng. Hundred-year-old ginseng is produced almost every year, and there are even legends of [-]-year-old ginseng."

"It's a pity that people's demand for ginseng is too great. Even in places like Changbai Mountain, it is impossible to supply it without limit. In modern times, let alone a thousand-year-old ginseng, it is rare to see even a century-old ginseng. Generally, it is 50 years old. All of them are considered kings.”

Gu Tianci said at this time, "Grandpa, the history of artificially cultivating ginseng is not short, isn't there no ginseng that has been used for hundreds of years!?"

Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "No, or even if there is, no one will admit it. Although I don't know why, the medicinal properties of artificially cultivated ginseng and wild ginseng are very different, let alone the level of ginseng king."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, no wonder his century-old Ginseng King was so valued, Mr. Gu said, "The Centennial Ginseng King has only appeared three times in recent years, and they were all taken by other auction houses. I think the auction house here should Not to be outdone, so the White Ginseng King was sent here for auction."

"The old man is very thoughtful." Lin Chen said.

Mr. Gu smiled and said, "After all, you have taken your things, so you have to do your best. Fortunately, you have not been disappointed. King Shen is the finale lot, and you are destined to become a multi-millionaire today."

Lin Chen believed what Mr. Gu said. After all, the 30-year-old ginseng plant in front had a price of hundreds of thousands. Once the drug age of this stuff increases, the price will rise exponentially.

During the period, Mr. Gu was also a little moved by some medicinal materials, but in the end he didn't do anything. Gu Mengxi said, "Grandpa, there is no one who can fancy? These are all wild."

The auction here has strict rules. All Chinese medicinal materials participating in the auction must be wild, otherwise they are not eligible to enter the auction.

Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "There are some good things, but they are too out of the way. Even if you take them back, you may not be able to use them in this life. Don't waste this money. Xiao Lin, what are you looking for? Let me know in advance." letter!"

Lin Chen smiled, and just about to speak, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said immediately, "Here we come!"

Mr. Gu's family looked down at the lot, and saw that the auctioneer brought up a box, and then explained, "A box of black butterfly shells and black pearls, a box of [-] pieces."

"Black Pearl!?" Gu Tianci was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly, "Why did the pearl appear here?"

Mr. Gu said slowly, "Pearl itself is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. It can treat children crying, sores in the mouth, raw meat in the eyes and cleansing the sores. It is also very effective for burns and scalds! Xiaolin, you can use it! ? "

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, I've always wanted to give my wife the same gift, but I couldn't make up my mind. When I saw this today, I had an idea."

Gu Mengxi subconsciously glanced at Lin Chen, with a hint of regret and unwillingness in his eyes, but in the end they all calmed down, while Mr. Gu said dumbfoundedly, "This...is really good. Apart from its medicinal value, black pearls are indeed quite beautiful."

Gu Tianci also said, "This kind of thing should be sent to a jewelry store, how can it be sent to this kind of place for auction."

Mr. Gu said dissatisfiedly, "Superficial, in the eyes of most people, the value of black pearls may indeed lie in its beauty, but for us Chinese medicine workers, the efficacy of medicine is the most important thing, and...do you think this thing Can it be cheaper to send it here? I’m afraid it’s more expensive than in a jewelry store!”

The auctioneer also said at this time, "This box of black pearls was obtained from overseas. It originally belonged to a Western earl. The pearls are round and wide. The reserve price is 120 million. Each increase must not be less than [-]. You can start bidding. "

Lin Chen was a little nervous. This black pearl was the most taboo and he was sure to get it. However, seeing how many people kept bidding in the previous auction, it might not be so easy to win it.

But what surprised Lin Chen was that after Black Pearl played, the atmosphere obviously cooled down. Many people still had ideas about Black Pearl, but the reserve price of 120 million was too exaggerated.

Pearl itself is not a rare medicinal material, especially now that the quality of artificially cultured pearls is also very good, and it only costs a few hundred yuan per bucket. Who is crazy to buy such expensive black pearls.

Lin Chen didn't expect such a surprise, and immediately entered the reserve price in the auction. Gu Tianci said in astonishment, "Such a large-sized black pearl is also beautiful in color, and no one wants 120 million!?"

Mr. Gu seemed to have expected it long ago, and said indifferently, "Why? The efficacy of pearls has nothing to do with their size, and it has nothing to do with their varieties. Seventeen black pearls are worth [-] to [-] pearls each. Who would spend that money wrongly?" !"

"Ruthless, so there are so many straight steel men in the Chinese medicine industry." Gu Tianci looked speechless.

The auctioneer also seemed to have expected this situation, so when he saw that someone was guaranteeing the reserve price, he said without hesitation, "The guest in the bamboo box, bid a reserve price of 120 million, 120 million once, 120 million twice, 120 million three times." Time, deal! Congratulations to this customer!"

"Damn it, is he afraid that Boss Lin will run away? He didn't drop the hammer so quickly before!" Gu Tianci smacked his tongue.
