This auction held by Phaeton Auction House will only auction one item, which is a 500-year-old wild ginseng.
The people who came to the auction this time were except for some accompanying people. Everyone else's goals are coming from this 500-year-old wild ginseng.
And this wild ginseng, which has attracted the attention of many people, is now being placed on the auction table by the staff of the auction house.
This 500-year-old wild ginseng is packed in a transparent box, and this huge transparent box has no other decorations.
The guests under the auction table, as long as they have good eyesight, can clearly see the wild ginseng, without any obstruction.
As soon as the wild ginseng was carried to the auction stage, it immediately attracted the attention of all the guests, including Liu Xiong who was sitting next to Su Zhe with his eyes closed to relax.
¡°I don¡¯t know if it was Su Zhe¡¯s illusion, but he felt that Ye Shan Shenyi appeared on the auction stage. The auction house, which was originally very quiet, now seemed to hear a lot of rapid breathing.
Not long after the wild ginseng appeared, Tan Junzhen walked onto the auction stage and said to the people below: "Hello everyone, my name is Tan Junzhen. First of all, I would like to welcome you to the auction held by Phaeton Auction House. , your arrival makes this auction more brilliant.¡±
Tan Junzhen continued: "I will be the auctioneer of this auction today. I believe everyone knows the auction items, but here, let me introduce it to you in detail."
"There is only one auction item in today's auction, which is this wild ginseng. I think you are here for this wild ginseng this time." Tan Junzhen pointed to the wild ginseng next to him and said: "This wild ginseng After appraisal by our auction house and repeated appraisals by authoritative institutions, it has been determined that this wild ginseng is 500 years old and weighs 698 grams. It is the heaviest wild ginseng found so far. Heavy wild ginseng.¡±
Su Zhe never thought of it. As the branch general manager of Phaeton Auction House in Yanyun City, Tan Junzhen took the stage today as the auctioneer, which surprised Su Zhe.
"As we all know, there are fewer and fewer wild ginsengs nowadays, and old wild ginseng is even more rare. Not to mention wild ginseng that is 500 years old and weighs 698 grams. So needless to say, everyone should be very happy I know the value of this wild ginseng. There may not be another wild ginseng like this except this one.¡±
"Finally, before the auction officially begins, let me tell you the rules of this auction. The low price of this wild ginseng is only 1 yuan. Each bid is no less than 100,000 yuan." Tan Junzhen said: "I announce The auction now officially begins.
Tan Junzhen had notified Su Zhe in advance of the decision to set the low price of wild ginseng at 1 yuan, and it was only adopted with Su Zhe¡¯s consent.
Tan Junzhen had not expected that Su Zhe¡¯s wild mountain ginseng would attract such high attention. That's why Tan Junzhen planned to use this low price as a gimmick to attract people, but judging from the number of attendees at the scene, this gimmick now seems a bit redundant.
When Tan Junzhen announced the start of the auction, Su Zhe originally thought that many people would rush to bid.
But the result was beyond Su Zhe¡¯s expectation. No one bid at the scene, not even Liu Xiong, and the auction suddenly fell into silence.
Su Zhe was a little frustrated. He even wanted to bid to prevent the wild ginseng from being sold in vain this time.
Just when Su Zhe almost couldn't help but bid, someone finally made the first bid.
"I'll pay 5 million." A person sitting in the middle raised the sign and said, causing the price to increase by 5 million times.
It turns out that no one wants Su Zhe¡¯s wild ginseng, but everyone knows that the price of wild ginseng this time will not be so low. So they all chose to wait and see first, planning to let others bid and test the waters first.
Otherwise, if the price offered is too low, it will only make people laugh. And if the price is quoted high from the beginning, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among many people present. Because if you quote a high price from the beginning, the final transaction price will be increased.
Such a thankless thing. Of course no one would want to do it.
It was because everyone thought this way that the auction suddenly fell into silence, giving Su Zhe a false alarm.
And once someone bids, there is no need to wait for Tan Junzhen¡¯s announcement. People kept bidding.
"I will pay 5.5 million."
"6.2 million."
"I will pay 6.8 million."
One after another, bids kept coming. Prices are also rising steadily, with each increase reaching hundreds of thousands.
This scene is the most normal. It seems a bit strange that no one bid just now.
Not only Su Zhe was shocked just now, but Tan Junzhen was also very anxious.
?? If the wild ginseng with a low price of 1 yuan, an age of 500, and a weight of 698 grams has no bidders, and the auction fails.
If this happens in this auction, Tan Junzhen will not be able to explain to the headquarters. By then, let alone using this auction to consolidate his position in Phaeton Auction House, Tan Junzhen may even lose his position as general manager, and someone else will take over his position as general manager.
Fortunately, this situation did not happen now, so Su Zhe and Tan Junzhen both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The price of wild ginseng is getting higher and higher, but Liu Xiong, who is sitting next to Su Zhe, has never made a bid.
Liu Xiong just watched the auction process quietly and was not in a hurry to bid.
And there are still many people in the auction who, like Liu Xiong, have not bid yet. It is estimated that except for some people who are not strong enough, other people are the main force in this auction of wild ginseng. Most of these people were sitting in the front row.
Su Zhe knew that in auctions like this one, the seats in front and behind usually indirectly express the status of the participants. The closer the seat is to the auction table, the more powerful it may be.
And Liu Xiong and Su Zhe are both sitting in the first row, because Yanyun City is Liu Xiong's base camp, and he is qualified enough to sit in the first row, so it is not surprising. In name, Su Zhe came with Liu Xiong, so it was normal to sit in the first row.
In fact, even if Su Zhe comes by himself, he is still qualified to sit in the first row.
Because the wild ginseng in this auction belongs to Su Zhe, if Su Zhe, the owner, is not qualified to sit in the first row, then who else is qualified.
¡°Maybe the auction is still a small affair, the current price is still very low, and they haven¡¯t had a chance to make a move. They were still waiting, just like Liu Xiong's plan, to take action at the last moment.
