Chapter 369 Auction
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know about that! Anyway, to be able to get Baicaotang to start the auction early, this person must be incredibly powerful!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Bai with a smile and said, "Little brother, you are so lucky. It's rare to have the opportunity to meet so many important people at once! If you have this opportunity, you must seize it!"
Su Bai smiled disapprovingly and had no intention of saying anything else.
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang frowned when he saw this. This young man is a bit ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!
Although his net worth is not as high as Shen Daoru's, he is also one of the richest people in Jinling City. How could an follower of Shen Daoru be so tactless?
But before he could think about it, he saw the crowd in the distance suddenly disperse. Chen Meiqi, dressed in a black evening gown, strode over and bowed slightly to Su Bai, saying, "Mr. Su, Mr. Tang, Mr. Shen, the VIP room on the second floor is ready for you. Please follow me!"
Su Bai nodded calmly: "Thank you!"
Chen Meiqi was extremely respectful and somewhat flattered: "Mr. Su, you're too polite!"
Wait until the three people leave.
Inside the hall, everyone looked shocked and confused, and there was a sudden commotion.
"What the hell is going on?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang had a dazed look on his face, and was shocked beyond words.
As the person in charge of Baicaotang in Jinling City and the spokesperson of the Northeast Chen family in Jiangnan, Chen Meiqi's status is still quite honorable. The people who can be received by her personally are at least top business tycoons like Shen Daoru.
But today, in his opinion, Chen Meiqi seemed to be coming for that young man?
Could it be that this young man is the legendary second distinguished guest?
Thinking of this, his expression instantly became strange. No wonder Shen Daoru treated the young man so respectfully before. It turned out that this person had such a great background!
Soon, the auction was ready.
Strictly speaking, this kind of auction of precious Chinese herbal medicines was clearly a special product of the privileged class, and wasn't particularly formal. It was simply guaranteed by Baicaotang and several major drug dealers, each relying on their own judgment, and no one was responsible for any losses.
In the luxurious box on the second floor, Su Bai and the other two were sitting on the sofa. Through the window in front, they could see the auction table on the central platform.
The glass of this box allows you to see outside, but people outside cannot see inside, which can be considered a form of privacy protection.
However, this kind of glass is useless to masters like Su Bai and Xing Xiushen.
Xing Xiushen and Bai Zewen's box was opposite Su Bai's box.
In a private room at the very edge, a tall old man was sitting there with a beautiful woman with a ponytail.
If Su Bai saw the old man, he would definitely recognize that this person was none other than Lin Boren, the old "God of War" of the Jiangnan Military Region, who had fought with Su Bai once before!
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa, looking at the girl beside him with a smile: "Ruoxi, are you here just to participate in this so-called herbal medicine auction?"
The woman he called Ruoxi laughed and said, "Second Grandfather, there's no need to ask anymore! My master had a purpose for asking me to come back. I'll tell you when the time is right!"
"Girl, you've even learned to keep me in suspense! It seems that Old Man Gong has completely brainwashed you! Alas---" Lin Boren pretended to be disappointed.
Lin Ruoxi smiled and said, "Second Grandpa, don't be angry. My master really misses you. He even invited you to visit Zhongzhou Tiangong!"
"Hmph!" Lin Boren snorted and said, "Let's wait until the old man finishes his work!"
Lin Ruoxi nodded and suddenly asked, "By the way, Second Grandpa, do you know Su Bai?"
Lin Boren's eyebrows suddenly raised, "Girl, why are you asking this boy?"
A strange look appeared on Lin Ruoxi's pretty face, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "It's okay, I'm just curious!"
Lin Boren stared at her for a long while, then said in a deep voice, "Girl, listen to me—it's best not to have any contact with that Su Bai kid!"
"why?"
"No reason!" Lin Boren's face looked a little unhappy.
Seeing him like this, Lin Ruoxi nodded, feeling a little helpless. She came back this time just for Su Bai!
Fortunately, the VIP list of auctions like this is kept confidential, otherwise, if she knew that Su Bai was not far from her at this moment, she would not know what she would feel.
At this time, the auction downstairs has already begun.
A middle-aged man dressed like an English gentleman was presiding over the auction.
The auction started with an old mountain ginseng that was about 130 years old.
It weighed 127 grams and had a starting price of three million. It was bought directly by Bai Zewen in VIP Box No. for seven million.
"They are so rich." Many people looked up at VIP Box No. 1 and sighed in their hearts.
Most of the people who came knew that the person in Box No. 1 was Bai Zewen, the head of the Bai family.
Of course, except for Lin Boren and a few other VIPs who didn't pay attention to other things.
Since the auction began, Bai Zewen had bid several times, each time offering a high price that scared off all other buyers. After all, everyone was just here to do business, so why would they offend the Bai family, one of the four great families in Zhongzhou, for such a small matter?
Su Bai sat in the box, shaking a glass of red wine, feeling very comfortable. He had already obtained a soul-forging lotus. Apart from the finale, the thousand-year-old elixir, he was not very interested in other medicinal herbs.
In the following time, Su Bai only snatched a Polygonum multiflorum that was nearly 200 years old and a goblin that was nearly 300 years old.
Most of the others were taken up by Bai Zewen.
"The following one will test your eyesight."
The middle-aged host pulled back the black cloth on the tray, revealing a black dead branch with a strange shape.
"what is this?"
"I've never seen this before. Is this also Chinese medicine?"
"It looks familiar."
The major drug dealers and ophthalmologists below all frowned and hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man smiled faintly, as if he was confident in his plan. He introduced it calmly: "This medicinal herb was collected from the primeval forest deep in the Shiwan Mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou. It is at least nine hundred years old!"
"My Baiyaotang calls it 'Black Jade Branch.' According to our Baiyaotang's appraisal, this medicine has the effects of dispelling blood stasis, expelling cold, promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians, and prolonging life. The starting price is 10 million!"
Ten million!
Upon hearing this price, the wealthy businessmen and dignitaries present frowned slightly.
This starting price is not low.
However, the most important thing is that they cannot recognize what this medicinal herb is.
Baiyaotang calls it "Black Jade Branch" and it's nearly a thousand years old. Does that mean it's a thousand years old? If you really believe that, you'd be a fool!
Moreover, those effects such as promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and prolonging life are too general. People will not act impulsively on things that are not certain.
At the same time, in box number nine, Su Bai was.
"Huh?" Su Bai narrowed his eyes.
"Mr. Su, do you recognize it?" Shen Daoru asked in a low voice.
