Ma Xiong glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's Mr. Li from the American Kyushu Group who has arrived!"

This auction attracted many wealthy people to participate, but Li Yifu is definitely one of the heavyweight guests, among all the rich people present today, there are really few who are worth more than Li Yifu.

Including a rich man of Tang He's level, although there were also supporters, they all sent their subordinates to participate, and it can be said that Li Yifu was the only one who was present in person.

Ma Xiong originally wanted to take a few steps forward, but seeing Xia Ruofei standing motionless, he had no intention of going over to greet him, so he didn't take another step out after thinking about it.

Li Yifu obviously also saw Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong, because he obviously quickened his pace, and even those entourages were unprepared, and they were pulled away by him for a short distance.

"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 a hard journey!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Yifu replied with some absent-mindedness.

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

Ma Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, okay, then you can talk slowly! Mr. Li, I'm missing the company first......

Li Yifu smiled and nodded.

After Ma Xiong left, Li Yifu glanced at his subordinates and let them disperse into the distance, and then he followed Xia Ruofei to the side.

There were no outsiders around, and Li Yifu immediately whispered respectfully: "Uncle Shi!"

"Why did you come here again?" Xia Ruofei said, "Isn't it good to stay in the United States?"

"This ...... Shi Shuzu's company held an auction, and the disciples naturally wanted to come to cheer!" Li Yifu said.

Xia Ruofei said angrily: "I think you are the chairman of the board of directors more easily than me! Is a consortium worth tens of billions of dollars really so easy to manage?

Li Yifu was embarrassed and said: "Uncle Shi, the disciples rarely ask about the company's affairs anymore, and they are all taken care of by the younger generations of the family. ”

Then Li Yifu hurriedly explained: "Senior Uncle Ancestor, the disciple was given the Spirit Crystal Treasure by Senior Uncle Ancestor, and his cultivation has been extremely fast in recent days, but at the same time, there are also a lot of confusions, so I also hope to take advantage of this opportunity to get the guidance of Senior Uncle Ancestor." ”

After all, Li Yifu's cultivation is not a complete "Guiyuan Sutra", and the exercise named "Guiyuan Sutra" is actually a fragment of the "Guiyuan Sutra".

After Xia Ruofei gave him a spirit crystal, it was equivalent to a lot of improvement in the hardware conditions of cultivation, but the software conditions of the exercises were still shortcoming, so the faster the cultivation speed, the more confusion would naturally accumulate.

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

"Uncle Xie!" Li Yifu was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

His voice was a little loud under the excitement, Xia Ruofei quickly glared at him, then looked around, and said, "Your voice is a little quieter!"

"Oh, Uncle Ancestor, the disciple knows!" Li Yifu hurriedly lowered his voice and said.

"Also, after going in for a while, behave normally, don't show a respectful look at every turn...... Xia Ruofei said.

"Disciple understands!" Li Yifu said.

"By the way, during the auction, don't increase the price indiscriminately!" Xia Ruofei said, "I know how far the auction price of these things can go, if you call out a price far higher than the actual value, you will blame me for being unkind to you after coming down!"

"Oh...... Disciple knows!" Li Yifu said, "Please rest assured, Uncle Ancestor, disciple must remember your orders!"

In fact, Li Yifu really wanted to do this, in his opinion, this was an auction attended by Shi Shuzu in person, if the transaction price of the lot was too low, wouldn't it damage the face of Shi Shuzu?

For Li Yifu, even if all the lots today are rounded up at double or triple prices, that little money is only a drop in the bucket.

However, Xia Ruofei nipped his idea in the bud in advance, and he could only be honest at the auction.

"Okay, don't wait outside for too long, it's almost time, let's all go in!" Xia Ruofei said.

"Uncle Shi, please first!" Li Yifu hurriedly said.

"I'm half the host, and you're today's honored guest! You're a billionaire! Tell me who should go first!" Xia Ruofei said in a low voice, "Remember your identity clearly!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Then the disciple has trespassed!" Li Yifu hurriedly said.

Xia Ruofei showed a somewhat enthusiastic smile at this time, raised his voice and said, "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 will definitely be chased by the media when he comes to attend the event.

Not to mention anything else, just the title of "American Chinese Billionaires Go to Hong Kong Island to Participate in Auctions" is enough to attract readers to click in.

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 before also greeted Li Yifu one after another, but Xia Ruofei, who was beside him, seemed to be a little left out, which made him feel a little panicked, but fortunately, he quickly arrived at the arranged seat after walking all the way.

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

Ma Xiong, as the host, sat in the middle seat without condescension.

Feng Jing and the others were in the second row, just behind Xia Ruofei. Everyone really came over to watch the excitement today, leaving Liu Qian alone to coordinate in the background.

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

While Xia Ruofei was talking to Ma Xiong and the others beside him, he didn't forget to glance at the audience, and there was a trace of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes.

He had been looking for Monica, but there was no doubt that Monica had not come to Hong Kong Island.

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

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

This is a somewhat abnormal phenomenon, the Grasso's family has been running the truffle business for several generations, and the strength of the Black family is not much different, Hengfeng Auction House must have sent an invitation to the Grasso's family, but I don't know why no one came.

However, Xia Ruofei could only hide his doubts and worries in his heart for the time being, because the auction was 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, where the lights are almost all turned off, but the stage is more prominent, which is also easy to attract everyone's attention.

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

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

"Distinguished guests, friends from the media, good morning, my name is Lu Zhongguang, and I am today's auctioneer!" Lu Zhongguang said in an enthusiastic voice, "Welcome to the special auction of Taoyuan Company's products exclusively organized by Hengfeng Auction House! Taoyuan Company has prepared a large number of top-notch ingredients and medicinal materials for this auction, and I believe that everyone will be satisfied!" Regarding Taoyuan's products, I think friends who have participated in the first two auctions should be very clear, and I don't need to repeat it, let's learn about it directly through a short film!"

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

This short film is different from the warm-up video that was placed on TV stations, shopping malls, buses, subway stations and other places before the auction, and the introduction of the lot is more detailed, and many close-ups are even more beautiful.

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 thick accent.

Since the guests who came to the auction today come from all over the world, the venue also adopted a simultaneous interpretation system, and each seat has a headset and two levels to choose from, one in English and one in Cantonese.

Because many Hong Kong Island guests can only speak Cantonese, some people have a bit of trouble listening to Mandarin.

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

The lights on the stage also gradually increase in brightness.

Lu Zhongguang smiled and said, "Without further ado, let's get straight to the point! Next, I am honored to introduce your first lot today!"

The hostess wearing a cheongsam walked up to the stage with a tray covered by red silk cloth, and everyone could not see what was being brought up, maintaining a certain sense of mystery.

Lu Zhongguang stood next to the stage and said with a smile: "The first one to enter the auction today is a ginseng, which has been identified by our experts, this is a wild old ginseng grown in the Changbai Mountain area, and the year is ...... At least four hundred years!"

Lu Zhongguang raised his voice a little in the last sentence, and the four-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng was indeed extremely rare, so everyone couldn't help but lift their spirits.

Many precious medicinal materials and ingredients are actually gifts from nature, but the whole earth has been overdeveloped in recent years.

The older generation has a unique plot about ginseng, and many wealthy people have ginseng in their homes. In the early years, when medicine was not well developed, ginseng was used as a life-sustaining herb for a long time.

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

The photographer on the stage also aimed the machine at this old ginseng, and the big screen immediately projected the picture of the camera, and the whole venue could see the appearance of this old ginseng at close range.

How could the wild mountain ginseng grown in the Lingtu space be bad? This ginseng is perfect in terms of quality.

The guests who knew the goods were amazed, and the media reporters also took pictures of this old ginseng, and the atmosphere of 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 off to a good start.

Therefore, the first lot must not be the lowest value in the whole auction, but the best thing cannot be the first to appear, 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, this girl was very attentive to the auction and was willing to use her brain to think, which made Xia Ruofei very satisfied.

Lu Zhongguang on the stage said: "The starting price of this wild old mountain ginseng is 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is not less than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars each time!

"1.1 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"1.15 million!"

"1.25 million!"

......

As soon as Lu Zhongguang's words fell, the price cries came and went, and he needed to concentrate to see the situation of the signs, and at the same time, he had to repeat the price as soon as possible, and he was tired enough all of a sudden.

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

Whether an auctioneer is worth a lot of money depends on this quality.

Everyone's professional level may be similar, but a gold medal auctioneer like Lu Zhongguang, whose salary is several times that of an ordinary auctioneer, actually lies in his ability to control the market. 、

However, Lu Zhongguang is also used to it - in Taoyuan Company's auctions, there is basically no need to mobilize everyone's emotions, and there is no need to use any skills, everyone will take the initiative and start bidding enthusiastically.

This also made Lu Zhongguang feel less accomplished.

Boom!

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

It was bought by Hong Kong Island tycoon Cheng Ka Nian.

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

Although spending a small two million to buy a ginseng seems unimaginable to ordinary people, for a rich man like Zheng Jiannian, this little money is nothing at all, and it is very worthwhile to spend such a small amount of money to buy something that can be met but not sought.

Zheng Jiannian is relatively old among the rich people on Hong Kong Island, the older people are, the more afraid of death, and the older people are more traditional, and they are convinced of the saying that ginseng continues to live, so Zheng Jiannian will not hesitate to quote frequently, and finally defeated the Beijing competitors and got this old ginseng as he wished.

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

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

Tenderness in the steel gun said
