Chapter 1104 A Good Start

? Ma Xiong glanced at it and said with a smile, "It's Mr. Li from the Kyushu Group in the United States!"

This auction has attracted a lot of rich people, but Li Yifu is definitely one of the heavyweight guests. Among all the rich people present today, there are really few richer than Li Yifu.

Including the rich like Tang He, although there are also supporters, they all send their subordinates to participate. It can be said that Li Yifu is the only one who is present in person.

Ma Xiong originally wanted to meet the first few steps, but seeing Xia Ruofei standing still, he didn't mean to go to meet him at all, so he didn't take any further steps after thinking about it.

Li Yifu apparently also saw Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong, because he obviously accelerated his pace, and even the few entourages were pulled away by him for a short distance without preparation.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Ma!" Li Yifu greeted from afar.

"Mr. Li, welcome to Hong Kong Island!" Ma Xiong said with a smile, "It's been hard work all the way!"

"It's okay, okay!" Li Yifu replied absentmindedly.

Xia Ruofei glanced at Li Yifu lightly, and then said to Ma Xiong: "Grandpa Ma, go to the venue to greet your friends first! I have something to talk about with Mr. Li."

Ma Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, okay! Let's talk slowly! Mr. Li, I'm sorry..."

Li Yifu smiled and nodded.

After Ma Xiong left, Li Yifu winked at the accompanying subordinates and let them spread out into the distance, and then he followed Xia Ruofei to the side.

There are no outsiders around, Li Yifu immediately whispered respectfully: "Master Uncle!"

"Why did you come here again?" Xia Ruofei said, "Would you like to stay in the United States?"

"This... Uncle Shi's company is holding an auction, and the disciples will naturally come to join us!" Li Yifu said.

Xia Ruofei said angrily: "I think your chairman is easier than I am! A consortium of tens of billions of dollars is really so easy to manage? It's flying all over the world, and you don't need to be in charge?"

Li Yifu was embarrassed and said, "Uncle Master, the disciples have rarely asked about the company's affairs, and they are all taken care of by the younger generation of the family."

Then Li Yifu hurriedly explained: "Uncle Shi,

The disciple was gifted with a treasure of Lingjing by his uncle. In the past few days, his cultivation has progressed rapidly, but at the same time, there are a lot of confusions, so I hope to take this opportunity to get the guidance of my uncle. "

After all, what Li Yifu practiced was not the complete "Guiyuan Zhenjing". The exercise named "Guiyuan Zhenjing" was actually a fragment of the "Guiyuan Zhenjing". to various questions and confusions.

After Xia Ruofei gave him a spirit crystal, it means that the hardware conditions of cultivation have improved a lot at once, but the software conditions of cultivation techniques are still short, so the faster the cultivation speed, the more confusion will naturally accumulate.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Look! If I have enough time, I will answer a few questions for you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Li Yifu was overjoyed and said quickly.

His voice was a little louder under the excitement, Xia Ruofei glared at him quickly, then looked around, and said, "You have a lower voice!"

"Oh! Uncle Shi, this disciple knows!" Li Yifu said quickly in a low voice.

"Also! After going in for a while, you will behave normally, and don't show a respectful look at every turn..." Xia Ruofei said.

"Disciple understands!" Li Yifu said.

"By the way, during the auction process, you are not allowed to increase the price indiscriminately!" Xia Ruofei said, "I know how much the auction price of these things can be. If you ask for a price that is much higher than the actual value, you will be blamed on me. You're welcome after that!"

"Oh... the disciple knows it!" Li Yifu said, "Please rest assured, the uncle, the disciple must keep your instructions in mind!"

In fact, Li Yifu really wanted to do this. In his opinion, this was an auction where Shizuzu personally attended the auction. If the transaction price of the lot was too low, wouldn't it be detrimental to Shishuzu's face?

For Li Yifu, even if all of today's auctions are doubled or tripled in price, the money is only a drop in the bucket.

However, Xia Ruofei had killed his idea in the bud beforehand, and he could only be honest at the auction.

"Okay, don't delay outside for too long, the time is almost up, let's all go in!" Xia Ruofei said.

"Master Uncle, please go first!" Li Yifu said quickly.

"I am half the host, and you are today's honored guest! You are a billionaire! You tell me who should go first!" Xia Ruofei whispered, "Remember your identity!"

"Yes yes yes! That disciple is arrogant!" Li Yifu said quickly.

Xia Ruofei showed a somewhat enthusiastic smile and said with a louder voice: "Mr. Li, please come here!"

Li Yifu and Xia Ruofei walked into the No. 1 conference hall one after the other, and the spotlight suddenly flashed - a rich man of Li Yifu's level who came to attend the event would definitely be chased by the media.

If nothing else, the title of "American and Chinese billionaires go to Hong Kong Island to attend the auction in person" is enough to attract readers to click.

In this sense, Li Yifu's original intention has also been achieved, and his presence itself has added a lot of topics to this auction.

The rich people who were present also greeted Li Yifu one after another, but Xia Ruofei, who was beside him, seemed to be left out a bit, which made him feel a little apprehensive, but fortunately, he came to the arranged seat soon.

Li Yifu's seat is naturally in the first row, and it is quite in the middle. There is a Ma Xiong between him and Xia Ruofei's seat, which is already the best position in today's auction.

As the host, Ma Xiong sat in the middle seat.

Feng Jing and the others were in the second row, just behind Xia Ruofei. Everyone really came to watch the fun today, and only Liu Qian was left to coordinate in the background.

Xia Ruofei happened to see Liu Qian's nervous face on the side of the stage, and the two met their eyes. Xia Ruofei gave her an encouraging smile, which also made Liu Qian feel at ease.

While talking to Ma Xiong and others around him, Xia Ruofei did not forget to glance at the audience, and there was a hint of undetectable disappointment in his eyes.

He has been looking for Monica, but there is no doubt that Monica did not come to Hong Kong Island.

In fact, when Xia Ruofei was at the door just now, he basically passed all the people who participated in the auction. With his current memory, he would definitely not miss it.

Xia Ruofei found that not only did Monica not come, but even her Grasso family did not send anyone to participate.

This is a bit abnormal. The Grasso family has been in the truffle business for several generations, and the strength of the Black family is almost the same. Hengfeng Auction House must have sent an invitation to the Grasso family, but I don’t know why there is no one. come to participate.

However, Xia Ruofei can only hide his doubts and worries in his heart temporarily, because the auction is about to start.

After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, the lights in the conference hall slowly dimmed.

Of course, it is not like watching a performance, turning off almost all the lights under the stage, but it is more prominent on the stage, which is also easy to attract everyone's attention.

The warm-up video also stopped playing, and the auctioneer Lu Zhongguang, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, strode onto the stage with a warm smile on his face.

Lu Zhongguang is the gold auctioneer of Hengfeng Auction House, and he personally conducts the auctions of Taoyuan Company.

"Dear guests! Friends from the media! Good morning! My name is Lu Zhongguang, and I am today's auctioneer!" Lu Zhongguang said in a warm voice, "Welcome to Taoyuan Company, which is exclusively hosted by Hengfeng Auction House. Special product auction! Taoyuan Company has prepared a large number of top-quality ingredients and medicinal materials for this auction, I believe everyone will be satisfied! Regarding Taoyuan Company's products, I think the friends who have participated in the previous two auctions should be very Clearly, I don't need to go into details anymore, let's get to know it directly through a short video!"

After Lu Zhongguang finished speaking, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and the big screen behind him began to play the short film.

This short film is different from the pre-heating videos put on TV stations, shopping malls, buses, subway stations and other places before the auction. The introduction of the auction items is more detailed, and many close-up shots are even more beautiful. There are beautiful auction brochures inside, but it still attracts attention quickly.

The dubbing of the short film is in standard Mandarin, including Lu Zhongguang on stage just now, who also speaks Mandarin - his Mandarin is standard, unlike many Hong Kong Islanders with a strong accent.

Since the guests who came to participate in the auction today come from all over the world, a simultaneous interpretation system is also used in the venue. Each seat has a headset, and there are two levels to choose from, one in English and the other in Cantonese.

Because many Hong Kong Island guests can only speak Cantonese, some people have a little difficulty listening to Mandarin.

After the short film was played, Lu Zhongguang walked to the stage again.

The lights on the stage also gradually increased in brightness.

Lu Zhongguang said with a smile: "Not much to say, let's go straight to the topic! Next, I am honored to introduce you to the first lot today!"

The hostess wearing a cheongsam walked up to the stage holding a tray, which was covered with red silk, so that everyone could not see what was brought up, maintaining a certain sense of mystery.

Standing beside the platform, Lu Zhongguang said with a smile, "The first one to enter the auction today is a ginseng. After our expert appraisal, this is a wild old ginseng grown in the Changbai Mountains. The year... at least Four hundred years!"

Lu Zhongguang slightly increased the volume in the last sentence, and the 400-year-old ginseng is indeed extremely rare, so everyone can't help but feel refreshed.

Many valuable medicinal materials and ingredients are actually gifts from nature, but the whole earth has been in a state of over-exploitation in recent years. Take old ginseng as an example, let alone 400 years old, it has been pure wild for 40 years. very little.

The older generation has a unique plot for ginseng, and many wealthy families keep ginseng in their homes. When medicine was not developed enough in the early years, ginseng with sufficient years was used as a life-sustaining medicinal material.

After Lu Zhongguang finished speaking, he untied the red silk cloth, and everyone invariably stretched their necks and looked at the stage.

The photographer on the stage also pointed the machine at the old ginseng, and the big screen immediately projected the picture of the camera, and everyone in the venue could see the old ginseng at close range.

How can the wild ginseng grown in the spiritual map space be bad? This ginseng is perfect in appearance.

The guests who knew the goods all praised, and the media reporters also took a shot at the old ginseng, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much warmer.

In fact, the choice of the first lot is still very important, which is related to whether the whole auction can get a good start.

Therefore, the first item must not be the lowest value item in the entire auction, but the best item cannot be the first item to appear in the auction, otherwise it will be difficult to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm later.

Therefore, the selection of the opening lot is also quite particular.

It was also Liu Qian's idea to choose this old ginseng. The girl was very concerned about the auction, and she was willing to think about it with her head, which made Xia Ruofei very satisfied.

Lu Zhongguang on the stage said: "The starting price of this wild old ginseng is 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is not less than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars each time! Anyone with blue and above bidding cards can participate in the bidding! Next, The auction begins!"

"1.1 million HKD!"

"1.15 million!"

"1.25 million!"

...

Lu Zhongguang's voice just fell, and the bidding sound came and went one after another. He needed to concentrate to see the situation of the cards, and at the same time, he had to repeat the price as soon as possible, and he was tired all of a sudden.

But for an auctioneer, these are all basic skills, and what is even more difficult is to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene and create a tense and intense atmosphere.

Whether an auctioneer is valuable or not depends on this quality.

Everyone's professional level may be similar, but for a gold-medal auctioneer like Lu Zhongguang, the salary is several times that of an ordinary auctioneer. In fact, it lies in the ability to control the market. ,

However, Lu Zhongguang is also used to it - in Taoyuan Company's auction, basically, it is not necessary to mobilize everyone's emotions, nor does it need to use any skills, everyone will actively and enthusiastically start bidding.

This also gave Lu Zhongguang a little less sense of accomplishment.

Boom!

With the sound of the hammer falling, the first lot was successfully sold.

The one who bought it was Zheng Jianian, a rich man on Hong Kong Island.

For this old ginseng, Zheng Jianian paid a price of 1.75 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although spending a small amount of two million to buy a piece of ginseng may seem unimaginable to ordinary people, for a rich man like Zheng Jianian, this small amount of money is nothing at all, and such a small amount of money can buy it. It is very worthwhile for the things that cannot be found.

Zheng Jianian is relatively old among the richest people on Hong Kong Island. The older people are, the more afraid of death, and the older people are more traditional. He is convinced that ginseng can prolong life, so Zheng Jianian will not hesitate. He made frequent quotations, and finally defeated the competitors in Beijing, and got this old ginseng as he wished.

The auction was very tight, and after the sale of the old ginseng, the second lot was put on the table immediately.

Lu Zhongguang stretched out his hand and pulled away the red cloth, and there were bursts of admiration in various languages ​​from the audience.
