Chapter 118 Bidding for Polygonum multiflorum
Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi smiled at each other. It seemed that the deer antlers they bought with Baicaotang at the medicine fair last time were indeed much cheaper. At the auction, in addition to the value of the medicinal materials themselves, there were more bidders competing for bidding strength, so the transaction price was often much higher than the normal transaction.
As time went by, precious medicinal materials appeared on the display stand one by one, bidding sounds rose one after another, and the atmosphere of the auction rose to a new height.
During the bidding process, Baicaotang won a wild Changbai Mountain ginseng that was more than 36 years old at a bid price of 16 yuan in the 50th round of bidding.
When former president Zhang Benchu saw that Baicaotang had successfully bid for 50-year-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, he congratulated the old manager Li Baolin.
"Shopkeeper Li, it is very good to bid for this 50-year-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain at 16 yuan. You have found a treasure!"
"Haha, yes, this is much lower than the price I had in mind, I am very satisfied." Li Baolin also laughed happily.
At this time, Chu Yunhao heard the old dean Zhang Benchu talking about wild ginseng. The quality of wild ginseng is mainly judged by its age. Those that are over a hundred years old are all top-quality wild ginseng, but those that are over a hundred years old are very rare.
"Just eight years ago, at a medicinal material auction in Hong Kong, a wild ginseng that was over 320 years old appeared. It was auctioned for a sky-high price of million!" said the old dean Zhang Benchu with emotion.
"Ah, this is really a medicinal material with sky-high price!" Chu Yunhao exclaimed.
“So, wild ginseng that is over 50 years old is a treasure.” said old dean Zhang Benchu, stroking his beard.
Dean Zhang Benchu analyzed and judged the quality of wild ginseng, that is, the quality of wild ginseng is distinguished by the age of 50 years. The wild ginseng with an age of more than 50 years is of good quality.
Later, although Baicaotang also participated in the auction many times, the old shopkeeper Li Baolin withdrew from the auction halfway. Although he liked to display every precious medicinal material on the stand, it would take a huge investment to get these precious medicinal materials in the end, so he had to reluctantly give up and choose to withdraw.
There are fifty auction items and forty-two guest bidding seats. Almost only one family can bid for one auction item, unless the sponsor is wealthy and can spend money like water to bid at will.
As the bidding order moves forward, the reserve price of the auction item will become higher, that is, the later the auction item is, the more expensive it is. Therefore, it is also a very expensive medicinal material.
After the 30th item, the precious medicinal herb musk, was sold, the auction entered a -minute break and was interrupted.
Most of the rest time is set aside for the convenience of the bidding guests. People need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, so it is normal to go out for the convenience.
Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi did not leave their seats at the table. Murong Xue and Su Yao next to them also sat in their seats. After their eyes met each other, the four of them started chatting.
When Murong Xue and Chu Yunhao were talking, Chu Yunhao learned that Murong Xue's father, Murong De, was the president of Nanshi Tianshun Road Engineering Company. Many road engineering projects in Nanshi and even in Jiang Province were built by Tianshun Company, so Tianshun Company and Murong De were still very famous in Nanshi.
The reason why Murong De could easily get the road engineering project was related to Murong De's family power. Their Murong family was also a famous family in Nanshi. This time Murong De brought his family to the medicinal materials auction. He wanted to collect some precious medicinal materials for the family and then give them to the old man of the family.
At this time, Murong De began to chat with the old dean Zhang Benchu and the old manager Li Baolin. Although Murong De had met and contacted the two before, they were not yet friendly friends, so he wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with them.
Zhang Benchu and Li Baolin are both famous Chinese medicine experts in Nanshi. Many people of status in Nanshi want to make friends with them, but there is never a suitable opportunity. When the two came to the medicinal materials auction, the bidders recognized them and came to table No. 8 to talk to them intentionally or unintentionally.
People who eat grains will get sick. No matter rich or poor, they are afraid of being entangled in diseases, especially those who have money, they know how to maintain their health and take care of themselves. Therefore, rich people will think about getting to know a few good doctors to protect their health and longevity.
People have different ideas and thus have different circles of friends. Unlike those who went to see the old dean Zhang Benchu and the old manager Li Baolin, Murong Xue was not interested in famous doctors or panaceas. She just wanted to talk to Chu Yunhao who was beside her.
"By the way, Brother Chu Yunhao, which company do you work for?" Murong Xue suddenly asked Chu Yunhao.
Chu Yunhao just heard Murong Xue say that she worked as an assistant in her father's company. When it came to work, he immediately replied, "Sister Murong, I work at Huaichu Pharmaceutical Company in Nanshi City, and I am currently the director of the company's IT department."
"Oh, so that's how it is. By the way, brother Chu Yunhao, if you are not satisfied with your work there one day, come to Tianshun Company to find your sister. I will definitely ask my father to arrange a good position for you!"
"Haha, then thank you, Sister Murong."
The twenty-minute break passed in a flash, and the auction continued with the auctioneer's shouts.
From the 31st to the 47th auction items, these precious medicinal materials had little to do with Chu Yunhao, so he had been waiting for the 48th auction item to be auctioned on the display stand.
After the 47th-placed ambergris weighing 180 grams was bid at 28, it was won by the guest at table No. 1.
After the precious medicinal material ambergris was taken away from the display stand, the century-old Polygonum multiflorum ranked 48th appeared on the display stand.
The century-old Polygonum multiflorum has a starting price of 15 yuan.
Before the auction, experts hired by the Nanshi Traditional Chinese Medicine Association came to the display stand and began to comment on auction item No. 48.
"Lot 48 is a 6-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, which is produced in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province and weighs kilograms. This -year-old Polygonum multiflorum has a human shape and can be said to be a fine product among all herbs. The Compendium of Materia Medica records that Polygonum multiflorum "nourishes blood and liver, consolidates essence and kidneys, strengthens tendons and bones, and blackens hair. It is a tonic medicine, not cold or dry, and its function is better than that of Rehmannia glutinosa and Asparagus cochinchinensis." Medical research has found that the active agent contained in Polygonum multiflorum can prolong the growth cycle of diploid cells, make cells develop vigorously, improve the hematopoietic function of bone marrow, and affect blood rheology indicators. Therefore, Polygonum multiflorum is a precious medicinal material with antioxidant and anti-aging effects, especially this -year-old Polygonum multiflorum in human shape, which is a rare tonic medicine for health preservation."
After the experts' comments, the auctioneer began the auction.
"Lot 48, reserve price is 15, bid increments start at . Bids will begin now!"
Chu Yunhao stared at the century-old Polygonum multiflorum on the display stand. He felt nervous and hoped that Baicaotang would be able to take a picture of it smoothly.
