Chapter 336 Auction of meat cheese
Ye Bai smiled. It was indeed beyond his surprise that a small piece of useless scented jade could be sold for such a high price.
Moreover, the largest Wannian Rouzhi has not yet been auctioned. Now, the several items he offered for auction at the Crescent Hotel add up to almost two million US dollars.
If you add all this money together, you can probably take the most expensive picture of Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
However, Ye Bai is not interested in this picture.
But when he thought about leaving a lot of handling fees, Ye Bai felt a little distressed.
Qi Tiezui is right, holding an auction is indeed a huge profit.
If the Nine Gates were not currently at the cusp of the storm and the current situation was turbulent, it would not be appropriate to take the lead. Ye Bai might have been persuaded by Qi Tiezui to hold a similar auction in Changsha.
After the auction of Wen Xiangyu was over, the young woman announced an intermission.
An opera troupe came on stage to perform, and people in the audience kept asking for money to listen to operas they liked.
Xie Yaohuan, Wu Jiapo...
The sonorous and powerful lyrics sounded, killing everyone's time.
Next, four final items will be auctioned.
Ye Bai knocked on the table twice, called an ear slave outside the box, and then whispered a few words in his ear.
Not long after the ear slave retreated, a voice came from the high platform below: "Our auction order has changed. The first auction item is 30,000 to 20,000-year-old meat mushrooms."
The waiter brought a small transparent glass, which contained a palm-sized bright red mushroom substance.
"Wannian Meat Zhi can nourish yin and yang, soothe qi and blood, and long-term use can improve physical fitness. Our Crescent Hotel has obtained the consent of the auctioneer. Before the auction begins, we will select three distinguished guests to try the effects of Meat Zhi.
”
After hearing that they could try Wannian Rouzhi for free, many people were interested.
This thing was auctioned by the Crescent Hotel as the finale. It is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if you try it, you can still make a lot of money.
Afterwards, the young woman took the list of VIPs invited to the Crescent Hotel and randomly selected three of them.
These three are all real guests invited by the Crescent Hotel, not those who came in with fake invitations.
A high-ranking official of the Fruit Party, a wealthy gentry from the Northeast, and a rich local man from Shanghai with more than a dozen dance halls under his name.
The Wannian Meat Cheeks are very expensive, so the waiter only took out the rice-sized Meat Cheeks, put them into a small cup of water, stirred them into a thick liquid, and served them to the three of them one by one.
Smelling the fishy smell emanating from the water, the three of them frowned slightly, but still held their breath and drank.
Soon, the medicinal power of Rouzhi evaporated and entered the limbs along the internal organs. The three of them could clearly feel a warm current rising in their stomachs, and sweating broke out all over their bodies.
This pork cheese is amazing!
Among them, a Shanghai rich man named Lu Shenghui felt the heat rising in his belly and was amazed.
He had been seriously ill since he was a child and was in poor health, leaving behind the sequelae of cold body and trembling hands in winter.
After he got rich, he also visited many famous doctors and took a lot of Chinese medicinal materials, but he could not completely cure his physical problems. Unexpectedly, after drinking this small glass of water, his body felt much better.
If he takes a photo of Wannian Rouzhi and takes it for a long time, it is very likely to cure his cold body and trembling hands.
"How does it taste?"
"Lao Lu, what's the effect?"
People around Lu Shenghui couldn't help but ask.
"Not bad!" Lu Shenghui said with a smile, showing no emotion on the surface, but in his heart he was ready to take a picture of Wannian Rouzhi.
However, Wannian Rouzhi is the finale after all, and he is afraid that he will bleed heavily this time.
"Lot No. 15, three liang of Wannian Meat Zhizhi, the starting price is one million US dollars, and each increase in price will not be less than 50,000 US dollars." The young woman at the auction glanced around and started bidding.
However, after a few breaths, no one quoted a price.
It seems to be quiet.
Although there were many people attending the auction this time, most of them were people who came in with fake invitations. They could still afford to take pictures of the treasures in front of them, but the final treasure could easily cost one million US dollars.
It's not something they can afford.
As for those who can afford it, they don’t dare to bet a million dollars on whether this ten thousand-year-old meat cheese is worth it.
In the final analysis, perhaps only the three people who just tried it know the efficacy of this Ten Thousand Years Meat Zhizhi.
Seeing this, Lu Shenghui was overjoyed and said lazily: "After all, this is the first treasure of the Crescent Hotel. It can't pass the auction. So, I bought it for one million US dollars."
"One million and two hundred thousand!" The Northeastern gentry who also tried the food also raised a sign.
When two people fight, others will know it.
Wannian Meat Zhi is probably a very good thing.
At this time, in Box No. 7 on the second floor, several high-ranking officials from the Fruit Party were gathered here.
Marshal Ma couldn't help but ask: "Old Zhao, how did you feel after you tasted it just now?"
The man known as Lao Zhao praised: "The smell is fishy and hard to eat, but the potency of the medicine is beyond words. It is a rare nourishing medicine. If it weren't for lack of money, I would have a hand in it."
Marshal Ma said: "You have been embezzling for so many years and have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm afraid you won't even be able to make a small change. Why don't you lend me the money and wait until I buy the deer live grass and then pay it back to you."
"Shit, Luhuocao said it starts with one million US dollars. It won't help if I give you this little pension money. Will you pay it back next year? I'm afraid that you will never come back."
"Old Zhao, that's wrong. My biological mother is considered your half-godmother. You..."
"Come on, Lao Ma, just listen to my advice. We are old enough to be grandfathers. If I save my godmother, she will live for a few more years, but it will be a waste of deer live grass. Besides,
If you are neither greedy nor embezzling, who would be willing to lend you money?"
Marshal Ma was silent for a while. His good friend spoke from the bottom of his heart, but when he thought of his mother who was ill in bed, he felt sad.
Outside the box is the ear slave of the Crescent Hotel, who has written down every word of these senior party and state officials.
The auction outside is in full swing, and Wannian Rouzhi has sold for US$1.8 million.
In the box No. 15 where Ye Bai was, Qi Tiezui couldn't help but said: "Third Master, it's almost two million. You've really made a lot of money now."
"It's a pity that no one lights up the sky lanterns." Ye Bai felt very sorry. If someone had lit up the sky lanterns, he might have made more money.
The sky lanterns were auctioned last time because a wealthy Japanese man was there. I don’t know if the Crescent Hotel invited the Japanese this time.
There are also rumors that the Crescent Hotel did not dare to invite the Japanese again this time because they were afraid of causing public anger.
"Ten thousand years of meat, two million once!"
"Twice a million times!"
"Two million times!"
The auction of Wannian Rouzhi came to an end, and was finally won by Shanghai Lu Shenghui.
Lu Shenghui was also heartbroken. Even he couldn't raise two million US dollars in a short time. He had to mortgage at least half of the dance hall.
But if you think about it carefully, compared with your body, money is not that important.
