725 Intense Compet.i.tion
Lin yuelan seemed to think that the crowd was not lively enough. She ordered the people to continue shouting, ” 1.8 million!”
“Two million!” box one followed.
“Two million two hundred thousand!” In room six.
“Two million five hundred thousand!” In room number two.
Lin Xujie asked seriously, ” master, do you still want to continue bidding? ”
!!
Lin yuelan nodded, “Continue! Three million!”
Lin Deshan’s hand trembled when he heard the astronomical figure. Then, he put down the cup and said worriedly, “Girl, isn’t that too high? What if there’s no more bidding?”
What he meant was that with such a high price of three million, if others didn’t follow the price and wanted her to buy his ginseng, that would be a little too much.
Lin yuelan smiled and said, ” Grandpa, don’t worry. No matter how high the price is, someone will buy it. They’re not people who lack money.”
Lin Deshan was confused.
Lin yuelan explained to him, ” the person in the first room is the third Prince, Yuwen Feiye. This is something that everyone knows. However, I’m afraid that only a few people know the ident.i.ties of the people in room number two and six.”
Lin Deshan was confused. “who are the people in the second and sixth boxes? ”
Lin yuelan said, ” the richest man in Long Yan nation, Liu Yichen, is in the second box. The richest man in Qingfeng city, Li Fazhi, is in the sixth box.”
“Ah?” They were all the richest people in the world, so it was no wonder that they did not lack money.
These rich people didn’t treat money as money at all. What they wanted were these treasures.
Sure enough, when Lin yuelan’s bid of ” three million ” came out, the crowd on the first floor could only look up in admiration.
“three million five hundred thousand!” since Yuwen Feiye already had the intention to ‘kill’ and ‘steal’, he did not care about the price of the thousand-year ginseng.
He was filled with anger and only wanted to vent it.
No matter if it were the people in the second, sixth, or ninth box, if they wanted to bid for the thousand-year-old ginseng, they had to pay a price.
Who asked them to go against him, the third prince?
Hearing Yuwen Feiye’s bid of ” 3.5 million “, the three advisors were shocked.
“Your highness, you can’t bid anymore! ” they advised earnestly.
“Hmph!” Yuwen Feiye snorted. “Since I’m not the one buying it, why can’t I continue bidding? I want to see who would be so brave to go against me!”
The three advisors looked at each other.
To be honest, they also hoped that the price of the thousand-year ginseng would be as high as possible, but the premise was that their master, his highness the third prince, would not partic.i.p.ate in the bidding.
What if the third Prince had to foot the bill for something that was worth a few million taels? Where would they get so much money?
Therefore, the most important thing now was to persuade the third Prince.
Advisor Ji said, ” Your Highness, the ident.i.ties of the people in the second, sixth, and ninth boxes are unknown, and we don’t know their financial status either. What if they have the same thoughts as us? if we bid against them directly, it will be difficult for us to clear up the mess if something goes wrong, Your Highness!”
Advisor Ma added, ” that’s right, your highness. we’ve already reached this price. your highness, we’ll just watch the show from the side for the rest of the time. ”
Immediately, the three advisors said, ” your highness, please think twice! ”
Although the third Prince was unwilling, he still listened to the dissuasion.
After all, this amount was too large. if the situation that advisor Ji had described happened, the price was not something that the third prince could afford to pay. it could even cause the imperial family to lose face.
This time, Yuwen Feiye replied calmly, ” yes, I understand!”
After Yuwen Feiye’s bid of 3.5 million, Li Fazhi from the sixth suite immediately called for four million.
Room nine, “4.3 million.”
room 1, “4.5 million!”
When Yuwen Feiye called out his bid again, the three advisors’ hearts were at their throats. They were all shocked. ” your highness! ”
Yuwen Feiye glared at them and said angrily, ” Hmph, that’s enough. I know what to do. I won’t bid anymore!”
However, when Yuwen Feiye called out 4.5 million, the entire place fell silent once more. They could even hear each other’s breathing. Everyone looked at the number one box in disbelief.
Yuwen Feiye bid 4.5 million.
After that, everyone waited for a while, but no one else made a bid.
Yuwen Feiye and his three advisors and subordinates in room 1 felt their hearts jump to their throats. They were extremely nervous and worried.
They could clearly hear the emcee’s announcement,
“Four million five hundred thousand going once!”
He deliberately slowed down his speech.
“Four million five hundred thousand going twice!”
This was because the interval between the pauses was longer than any of the previous counting times.
“Four million and five hundred thousand taels of silver.”
Hearing this, Yuwen Feiye and the other three advisors panicked, their palms and backs sweating.
Let alone the third prince’s estate, they didn’t even know if the treasury of the imperial court could afford these 4.5 million taels of silver.
“Five million!”
Just as the three of them were about to faint, a voice that sounded like the sound of nature rang in their ears.
In an instant, their gazes all turned to the bidder in the second box.
The three advisors heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
That was too dangerous just now!
Yuwen Feiye’s pale face and tightly clenched hands relaxed when he heard someone else bid again.
At that moment, everyone in the room felt as if they had just escaped from death.
The three advisors were blaming the third Prince for being too egoistic and not listening to their advice, causing them to be alarmed for nothing.
When Lin Deshan heard that the price had reached five million, he couldn’t help but shake the cup in his hand, and all the tea fell out.
He looked at lin yuelan in disbelief and said, ” little girl, this … this ginseng is actually sold for five million taels? ” Twenty years ago, Lin’s medicine shop’s net worth of over a million was not even comparable to a thousand-year-old ginseng.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, ” yes, grandfather. You can just sit and wait to collect these five million taels of silver!”
Lin Deshan was still a little surprised. “isn’t five million too expensive? ”
Lin yuelan shook her head and said, ” Grandpa, this is an auction house. All the items auctioned are priced by the guests. There is no such thing as a fixed price. If you think it’s too expensive, you can be like those who don’t bid and just watch from the side.
“So, since this person has called for this bid, it means that the value of this item is worth that much to him.”
Lin yuelan’s words made sense, but Lin Deshan could not calm down.
In the end, this thousand-year ginseng went to the second box.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of room nine again.
Lin yuelan’s eyes flickered, and then she said to ah nu, “Ah Nu, go to open the door!”
“Yes!” Ah Nu replied respectfully.
