Chapter 307 Hope

However, Fang Bai did not touch the elixir in the valley for the time being, but allowed it to grow. He planned to build an elixir room in the valley when he became stronger and had the ability to refine elixirs in the future. , concentrate on refining the elixir.

Although directly picking the elixir and taking it can improve your cultivation strength, it cannot exert the maximum effect of the elixir, which is equivalent to a waste of natural resources. However, after refining the elixir into elixir, you can maximize the effect of the elixir. .

Fang Bai did not pick the elixirs in the valley, but he kept the hundreds of elixirs he found in the mysterious sinkhole with him in his space ring. As long as he took out one at random, its value would be It can instantly kill the century-old wild ginseng that Hua Yi took out.

So many guests in the hall were vying to buy Huayi's century-old wild ginseng, but Fang Bai remained unmoved. He sat there leisurely, eating and drinking by himself, and occasionally chatting with Ye Charming next to him. .

After a fierce bidding process, Shen Huanian, who had a good relationship with Huayi, finally got the century-old wild ginseng for 15 million yuan.

The "Keren Group" under the Shen family specializes in the production and sales of various beauty products, which are popular in China. Many of the products use the formula provided by "Huichunzhai".

Shen Huanian did not hesitate to invest huge sums of money, but of course he was not interested in the century-old wild ginseng. His main purpose was to continue to become closer friends with Hua Yi, in order to deepen the close cooperation between the Shen and Hua families.

Shen Huanian's generous donation of 15 million to charity aroused warm applause from the guests at the scene, and he made a splash.

The items Hua Yi took out fetched a high price of more than 10 million, beating the host Jiang Xiaoyu. This made Hua Yi feel bright on his face, nodded to Shen Huanian, and returned to his seat in high spirits.

Although more than 300 guests arrived this time, more than half of them were couples or even whole families. Such a family group only needs to take out one item for auction, so only a few guests actually participated in the auction. Just ten people.

And like Xie Yifeng and Luo Xiaoli, who are just lovers or lovers, each of them needs to bring out an item for auction.

Due to limited time, the items are auctioned very quickly. Unless you encounter people with strong backgrounds and broad connections like Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Yi, the auction will take a little more time. After other people's items are brought to the stage, Basically, the transaction can be completed in a few minutes.

After Huayi, the guests who took the stage to present gifts were much inferior to Jiang Xiaoyu and Huayi, regardless of their status, background or personal reputation. Most of the items presented were gold and silver jewelry, antique jade, celebrity calligraphy and paintings of low value. Therefore, the scene did not create any waves again, and the transaction price did not bring any surprises.

Of course, the guests here are all elites from all walks of life. Who doesn’t have a few friends present? Therefore, there is no need to worry about the embarrassing situation that the items will not be auctioned. Even if there is an item that no one cares about, Jiang Xiaoyu, as the host, will pay for it himself.

Soon it was the turn of the guests at Dongfang Rushi's table to take the stage to present their gifts.

"Look, Dongfang Rushi is on the podium!"

"I remember that what she auctioned last time seemed to be a calligraphy handwritten by her grandfather Dongfang Leiming. It was bought by a wealthy businessman who had business dealings with the Dongfang family for one million. I wonder what she will bring this time! "

"No matter what it is, as long as the price is not too high, I will take it!"

"Brother Li, I know you are interested in Dongfang Rushihuahua, but they are so ruthless to you! Why do you need to spend that unjust money?"

"I am offering my love for charity, not to please Dongfang Rushi!"

"Pretend! Keep pretending! Who doesn't know that you, Li Bapi, are famous for being stingy? If you didn't want to please Dongfang Rushi, you would spend a fortune?"

Amid everyone's comments and gazes, Dongfang Rushi stepped onto the podium and displayed an oil painting in front of everyone.

The oil painting is ordinary, and you can tell at a glance that it was made by a beginner. It depicts a girl from a poor mountainous area carrying the title of a book on her back, facing the rising sun and walking toward a beautiful newly built school in the distance. The girl's big eyes are shining with joy. The light shines, and the expression is full of longing and hope for a better life in the future.

Dongfang Rushi glanced at the guests under the rostrum, and said calmly: "This oil painting is called "Hope", and it is the work of my sister Dongfang Rushi. The base price is 10,000 yuan."

Dongfang Rupo cherishes words as much as gold. After saying a few words, he handed the oil painting to the auctioneer on the podium and returned to his seat.

"...Items have a price, but love is priceless! This oil painting looks ordinary, but it has a beautiful meaning, reflecting the author's care for children in mountainous areas... If any of you visitors like this painting, please bid! "

The auctioneer worked hard to stir things up, and then looked at the guests under the rostrum.

Frankly speaking, the oil painting Dongfang Rushi took out was extremely ordinary. If it were sold on the street, it would be a question whether anyone would buy it.

However, the artist of this oil painting, Dongfang Ruhua, is Dongfang Leiming’s favorite granddaughter, and Dongfang Rushi personally donated it, so it can be expected that there will be many guests at the scene to participate in the bidding, and the oil painting will eventually sell out. One hundred and eighty thousand is still very possible.

"One hundred thousand!"

Sure enough, as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone directly raised the price to 100,000.

All the guests looked where the sound came from and couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw Jiang Xiaoyu bidding.

As the host of this charity auction, every time Jiang Xiaoyu encounters a bad auction or an item that is difficult to auction at a high price, she will start by asking for a price. It is best to have guests participate in the bidding. If no one bids, the item belongs to her. .

In Jiang Xiaoyu's view, even if the oil painting was worthless, he would not suffer any loss if he bought it. Firstly, he was devoting his love, and secondly, he was able to make friends with Dongfang Rushi, a talented business woman. This was a double benefit.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Half a million!"

…

Jiang Xiaoyu's move to attract good friends obviously worked. After her, people continued to join the bidding, including Lu Jianfeng from the Lu family, Hua Yi from the Hua family, Wang Dong from the Wang family, Xie Yifeng from the Xie family, and Shen Huanian from the Shen family. .

Even Ye Wumei couldn't hold back, joined in, and directly called for one million.

A mere painting by a beginner in oil painting, thanks to the blessing of the Dongfang Family's aura, it actually went from a low price of 10,000 to a high price of 1 million.

But after one million, there were only a handful of bidders.

Although there were many guests at the scene who wanted to please Dongfang Rushi and climb the big tree of the Dongfang family, their money did not come from the strong wind. If it was a celebrity calligraphy and painting with collectible value, they might continue to bid more, but This oil painting called "Hope" has no collection value at all. Even if it is given away, no one will want it.

Therefore, the price of one million was already the limit that the guests could bid. Any more would be a bit painful for them.
