Chapter 262 Bidding
Although Jiang Yao and Scar Liu deliberately lowered their voices during the conversation, Cheng Feier, who was sitting at the same table, could still hear some of it.

"Boss, what skills do Lao Liu and the others have? Why did they leave so suddenly?"

"Although Li Zhaofeng was a bit of a playboy in the past, he is still a good person."

"He doesn't know the relationship between you and me, that's why he did this. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with him!"

Cheng Feier was obviously a little confused because she didn't understand the meaning of those words. She opened her mouth tentatively and asked a question.

Although there is some intimacy between her and Jiang Yao, they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, but more like a combination of interests.

Li Zhaofeng was a handsome man, and he was also the eldest son of the wealthy Li family. Putting aside his previous gossips, he had always been graceful in front of Cheng Feier, and was indeed a gentleman.

A tall, rich and handsome man like him is indeed very attractive to ordinary women.

Although Cheng Feier rejected his pursuit several times, she always had a good impression of Li Zhaofeng.

There's nothing you can do about it. As a woman, there is no woman who doesn't like to hear sweet words.

Faced with the earnest pursuit of such an outstanding man like Li Zhaofeng, even Cheng Feier felt secretly happy and did not feel the slightest disgust towards him.

"Old Liu and the others have some small things to take care of."

"That Mr. Li is indeed a good-looking man. Why, Fei'er, are you attracted to him and want to marry into the wealthy Li family?"

"A forced melon is not sweet. I have always understood this truth. Fei'er, you are not young anymore. If you really meet someone you can entrust your life to, don't worry, I won't stop you from leaving."

His eyes seemed to have a deeper meaning. Jiang Yao looked Cheng Feier up and down for a few times, then he smiled indifferently and responded.

"You are just my boss, not my boyfriend. You only know how to exploit me, and you have never thought about marrying me..." Cheng Feier pouted and complained a few words in dissatisfaction.

As Jiang Yao's personal assistant, she is responsible for managing all the assets under his name.

She might not know much about Jiang Yao's terrifying strength that far exceeded that of ordinary people, but she knew all the inside stories of Jiang Yao's assets clearly.

Knowing so many secrets about Jiang Yao, she wanted to leave easily and safely? She knew without thinking that it would definitely not be that easy.

"Please welcome to auction lot number 38. Our chief appraiser at Christie's has confirmed that this is a wild ginseng that is 180 years old."

"Wild ginseng of this level is hard to come by. Its medicinal effect is strong enough to keep a person alive when he is on the verge of death..."

"The starting price is five million, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred thousand."

……

Finally, it was the turn of the wild ginseng to be auctioned. The auctioneer on the stage spoke eloquently and boasted about the wild ginseng in the wooden box in front of him.

There are only more than one hundred lots in this Christie's auction.

At this juncture, it is almost halftime, and putting this wild ginseng up for auction during this time period is obviously used to warm up the audience.

"I'll pay 5.1 million!"

"Five and a half million!"

"Six million!"

……

Hong Kong is not a ginseng producing area.

As soon as this kind of wild ginseng of sufficient age appears, it will definitely be snatched up by the wealthy.

In just a few moments, the price of wild ginseng, which had a starting price of only five million, soared to about ten million.

To be honest, if a ginseng collector collects wild ginseng of this year, and he can receive the news as soon as possible, and then ignore all the middlemen and buy it directly, spending a few hundred thousand or so is actually enough.

But now, this item has passed through several hands and appeared at an auction, with many wealthy and powerful people who are not short of money competing for it. It is impossible to win the bid for this item without spending a huge price.

The wild ginseng that Mr. Zhou brought over a few months ago was only ninety years old.

To get that wild ginseng, Bingzai spent a total of three million yuan, and also paid some favors.

The wild ginseng at the auction was twice as old, at 180 years old. Jiang Yao originally thought that if he spent 10 million, it shouldn't be a problem to successfully bid for this wild ginseng.

But now, he raised the sign and just bid 10 million, but he was already suppressed by others. "I'll offer 11 million, everyone. My grandfather is old and needs this thing to replenish his vitality."

"I am determined to get this wild ginseng. I hope everyone can give our Li family some face."

The person who made a bid right behind Jiang Yao was undoubtedly Li Zhaofeng.

Although he had been bidding for this wild ginseng before, the price he raised each time was only a few hundred thousand or a few hundred thousand.

But now, after seeing Jiang Yao’s bid, he actually raised the price by one million.

"Mr. Li, the rule of the auction has always been that the highest bidder wins."

"You keep bringing up your Li family. What do you mean? Do you think Christie's is owned by your family?"

"I'll add another 100,000, 11,100,000. Our Bao family is also determined to get this ginseng."

The person who made the bid at this moment was a foreigner, who was the son-in-law of the shipping magnate Bao.

With his background, he naturally would not care about the Li family. While making the bid, he did not hesitate to ridicule Li Zhaofeng a few times.

Originally, when the price reached around 10 million, there were only about four or five people still bidding.

Perhaps because of concerns about the Bao family and the Li family, or perhaps because they feel that the current price is too high, now, these people have stopped their actions, leaving only Li Zhaofeng and the foreigner fighting back and forth.

"Eleven thousand three hundred thousand!"

"Eleven and a half million!"

"Twelve million!"

……

Perhaps because they didn't want to be taken advantage of, although both of them looked determined to win, the amount they raised was not very high.

After bidding several times, the auction price of this wild ginseng was finally raised to 12 million.

"Thirteen million!" The one who bid this time was not Li Zhaofeng and the foreigner, but Jiang Yao.

He came here to participate in this auction with no other purpose but to come for this wild ginseng.

He doesn't care about money or anything like that. For him, as long as he can win the auction, that's enough.

His bid immediately attracted the attention of Li Zhaofeng and the foreigner.

"I'll offer 14 million, Jiang Yaozu. With just the two dollars in your pocket, you want to compete with me for this wild ginseng!" Seeing that the person who made the bid was Jiang Yao, Li Zhaofeng looked disdainful. He raised his middle finger at Jiang Yao as if to provoke him.

"Fourteen million to buy a wild ginseng. Li Zhaofeng, some people in your Li family are really stupid and have a lot of money!" Jiang Yao responded neither arrogantly nor humbly.

With the tricks he possessed, he could easily make Li Zhaofeng look so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.

However, he is too lazy to do so now.

On his cell phone, there was a message just sent by Scar Liu. From the content of the message, it seemed that Scar Liu and his group of five were already lying in ambush near the gate of Fuhua Hotel.

The current price seems to have exceeded the foreigner's psychological price range, and he has stopped bidding.

Jiang Yao wanted the things, but he didn't want to give the money now.

After leaving the Fuhua Hotel, Li Zhaofeng had already had everything arranged clearly. He won the wild ginseng through bidding, which was naturally the most suitable thing for Jiang Yao.

"Lot No. 38, 180-year-old wild ginseng, 14 million. This is my first time. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

"Fourteen million, second time!"

"Fourteen million, the third time, deal, congratulations, Mr. Li, congratulations, Mr. Li!"

……

Finally, the auctioneer on the stage made the final decision and Li Zhaofeng successfully bought the item.
