NOVEL FROG Chapter 109
I have to say.
The people behind this underground auction are really extraordinary.
More than a dozen pieces of precious jewelry were all sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, which shocked He Daqing and Chen Xueru, and made them realize their poverty for the rest of the day.
It can only be said that there are really too many rich people in the city, and too many smart people.
Originally, He Daqing still felt that he had some family background.
After all, in an era when the average salary of workers is only a few dozen yuan, those who have a deposit of more than 100,000 yuan are definitely rich.
But after seeing how the real rich people act, he realized that his family in the city is at most middle class, which is completely inferior to the real rich people.
All the family assets added together are not as good as a piece of jewelry carried by the rich people!
It's really hurtful.
…………
For more than half an hour,
He Daqing and the other two had been sitting in the corner as spectators.
In other words, most people in the underground auction were spectators, watching the guests with the first few numbers compete with each other in terms of wealth.
Especially guest number two.
In just a short while, he spent almost three million and bought several fine jewelry in succession. It can be said that he was the richest man in this auction.
And guest number one should not be underestimated either.
Although he didn't make many bids, he could get the auction items he wanted every time he made a bid. Even as long as he opened his mouth, the guests with the first few numbers would remain silent.
From this, we can know how high the status of guest number one is.
However, guest number one didn't seem to be very interested in jewelry, but was very interested in calligraphy and paintings. He got several calligraphy and paintings by famous people.
He Daqing observed for a while.
He had a vague understanding.
He felt that the numbers of this auction, especially the first few numbers, were arranged according to wealth and status.
Guest number one was not only rich, but also had an extraordinary status.
Otherwise, he would not have maintained such an independent attitude.
Instead, it was guest number eight.
During the previous bidding process, He Daqing heard a familiar voice, and then after a while of thinking, he thought of who the owner of the voice was.
This person was none other than the private manager of the steel mill, Lou Zhenhua, who was known as Lou Bancheng.
He Daqing had met Lou Bancheng several times when he worked in the kitchen of the steel mill before, so when he heard the voice at this time, he felt that it was familiar.
Of course, the reason why Lou Zhenhua was called Lou Bancheng was definitely not because of the steel mill, but because this guy was too rich. He not only had a large steel mill, but also dozens of shops and several large mansions, and his industries were spread across all industries in the entire city.
Because there were many industries and they were relatively scattered, covering nearly half of the city, he was given the title of Lou Bancheng.
In fact, to be honest, although Lou Bancheng was a big shot in the city, he was not at the top level.
The real top big shots had already run away.
Even if they didn't run away, they could still enjoy state-level treatment. Even with ten years of turmoil, they still lived comfortably without worrying about the future.
Unlike Lou Zhenhua, in order to please the higher-ups, he even married his own daughter to the son of a servant. In the end, he was even bullied by a few small figures in the courtyard, and his family almost lost their lives.
To put it bluntly.
Lou Zhenhua is just a businessman and capitalist with a little power.
There is still a certain gap between him and the real wealthy businessmen, and there is no way to compare with the legendary four major families of the Republic of China.
Like the four major families of the Republic of China, they plundered the entire country's wealth and caused countless people to starve to death, but they still got it well, and no one jumped out to investigate the four major families. Even with ten years of turmoil, there was not much news about the four major families.
It is impossible that all the members of the four major families ran away to Taiwan and abroad, and no one stayed in the mainland?
This is obviously impossible.
Everyone knows the reasons inside, but it can't be said anyway.
Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans! Scholars, merchants, artisans, and artisans! Scholars, merchants, artisans, and artisans!
…………
For thousands of years in the Xia Kingdom, the classes have been constantly changing, but the class at the top has not changed at all from beginning to end.
A purely wealthy businessman is nothing more than a fat pig.
Once it grows fat, some people will be short of money and can be slaughtered.
When He Daqing thought of this, he finally understood why so many rich people in later generations would choose to change their nationality or even choose to immigrate.
Because they are really afraid.
In China, if you want to do business safely and steadily, you must deal with the upper level, and once you are involved with the upper level too much, it will be difficult to retreat safely.
This also echoes a saying of the ancients. Be a little rich and healthy!
Indeed. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In China, only the slightly rich can be healthy!
"Next auction item!"
"A 60-year-old wild ginseng, the starting price is 69 yuan, each bid must not be less than one yuan, friends who like it can make a bid!"
Just as He Daqing was daydreaming, he heard the voice of the auction house owner again, which shocked him.
He finally waited for the auction of precious medicinal materials.[]
The first item to appear in this auction is the 60-year-old wild ginseng.
(bbfg) He Daqing was determined to get these three wild ginsengs.
So as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, he raised his number plate and said in a deep voice:"Five hundred yuan!"
Usually in drugstores, the price of a sixty-year-old wild ginseng is about three hundred yuan.
Of course, the price is the price, and whether you can buy it is another matter. Anyway,
He Daqing has visited so many drugstores, but he has never bought a wild ginseng that is more than fifty years old. It's not that there are no wild ginsengs, but that people simply don't sell them.
Even if He Daqing is willing to pay twice the price, they still won't sell them.
So, after hearing the offer from the auctioneer, He Daqing almost didn't think about it, and on the basis of the price of the sixty-year-old wild ginseng, he added another two hundred yuan.
It's not that he has too much money and has nowhere to spend it.
But He Daqing is very clear that among the many guests present, there are definitely big businessmen in the field of medicinal materials.
If you can't directly show your reckless and determined momentum to intimidate them and make them honestly give up the bidding for the 150-year-old wild ginseng and other precious medicinal materials, it will be impossible.
As expected.
When He Daqing made this offer, the entire underground auction hall was silent.
Many people looked towards him, frowning slightly, as if they were thinking about something, and no one spoke.
This price was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, making everyone present feel that it was not worth it.
Because they were not He Daqing.
Those who could get the invitation to this underground auction were all people with a certain amount of power in this city.
Even though most of them were not engaged in the medicinal materials industry.
But they still had channels to get medicinal materials like wild ginseng.
Especially the guests in the field who were engaged in the medicinal materials industry, they had many channels to obtain wild ginseng.
Sixty-year-old wild ginseng could obviously be obtained from below for a hundred yuan, but they had to be crazy to spend more than three or four times the price to buy it in this underground auction.
This also proved a saying.
The richer the businessmen, the more they care about the cost of the items themselves, and they are completely different from the second generation, who would spend a lot of money for a face.
The owner of the auction hall also looked at He Daqing in surprise.
He still had some impression of He Daqing.
Not only because He Daqing and his partner were newcomers in this auction, but most importantly, He Daqing had made many bids in this underground auction.
Although the items he bought were not of great value
, the one that cost the most was a mutton-fat jade bracelet worth three thousand yuan.
But the price of all the items added together was not a small amount, and it would be about thirty or fifty thousand yuan.
So here comes the question.
If you only have thirty or fifty thousand yuan, are you willing to spend all the money on antiques?
It is definitely impossible.
Generally speaking, for a businessman worth one hundred thousand yuan, it is already very good to have ten thousand yuan in liquid funds.
And for this ten thousand yuan, he also needs to prevent risks and daily food and drink expenses.
In this way, how much do you think he can spend in an underground auction to buy some antiques?
And He Daqing and his partner could spend twenty or thirty thousand yuan in this underground auction without blinking an eye.
This proves that they really have money in their hands.
Think about some information provided by the shopkeeper Hou of Xinbaozhai.
Old Wang couldn't help but think,"This is a very high-quality customer!" Thinking of this , Old Wang felt that he had to give He Daqing and the others some preferential treatment.
��
So when he saw that everyone was lost in thought, he didn't give them too much time to think, and said directly:"Guest No. 76 offers 500 yuan, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
"If not, this 60-year-old wild ginseng will belong to guest number 76?".
