Chapter 102 A "New Spring" at the Auction House

Congratulations to the guest in the upstairs private room, this bottle of "Youyichun" is yours.

After saying that.

A waiter then came forward, took the medicine, and brought a POS machine to the auctioneer's private room.

Payment is made and goods are delivered simultaneously.

After this little episode

The auctioneer continued auctioning the remaining items.

The later parts are the most important and memorable.

The starting bid for the next few items is 50 million.

Each one is a treasure.

The price was increased by 5 million each time.

There were many people in the auction house waiting for these two items to be brought up.

The first item was a diamond crown once worn by a queen from Y continent. It was set with 1,666 diamonds, including a six-carat raw yellow diamond, for a total weight of 320 grams. The queen loved it and often wore it. After the queen passed away, the crown disappeared. Some say it was stolen by God, others say it was taken to the queen's tomb. Unexpectedly, two hundred years later, it appeared at this auction, and the crown quickly fetched over 100 million.

People kept holding up signs.

It was finally sold for 500 million.

Even if someone takes a picture of something like that, they probably won't wear it. At most, they'll just keep it at home as a keepsake.

The last item is a painting. It's "Boy with a Pipe," a representative work from Picasso's early period, and one of the masterpieces of his "Rose Period." Picasso was 24 years old at the time. The young Parisian boy in the painting was called "Little Louis" by Picasso. He often spent time in Picasso's studio, and Picasso used him as a model for this painting. In the painting, "Little Louis" wears a blue overall, holds a pipe in his left hand, and wears a flower wreath. The background features two large bouquets of flowers, giving it a somewhat Chinese painting feel. Experts believe that the flower wreath on "Little Louis's" head was added by Picasso at the last minute when the painting was nearing completion, but it still looks quite harmonious and enhances the overall effect.

It finally sold for a record-breaking $1.50.

At this point, the auctioneer will announce the successful conclusion of today's auction.

But then they heard a man screaming in terror from a private room upstairs.

"Dad, don't scare me. Hang in there, I'll get you a doctor right away."

Upon hearing the noise, the people at the auction house immediately sent someone to find a doctor while also dispatching staff to check on the situation. If someone had a problem while they were there, it would be a bad thing for them.

After the auction staff arrived at the door, they politely knocked and went inside.

I saw an elderly man, about 60 years old, sleeping on the sofa. His face was somewhat pale. There was also a pool of red stuff on the floor.

A man who looked to be about 30 years old was watching him anxiously nearby.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

"Auction house staff asked."

"First, find me a doctor. I haven't even contacted you yet. Your auction house is selling poison, isn't it? My dad took your medicine. He was fine at first, but after vomiting blood, he suddenly fainted. Do you know how weak he is? Give me the contact information for the medicine seller, and I won't cause you any trouble."

"I'm sorry, we have a confidentiality policy here, and we cannot disclose the client's information to the public. We have already sent people to look for the doctor."

They felt the old man's illness was no ordinary ailment, and that most doctors couldn't treat it, so they sought out leading experts abroad. Even if you tied him up, it would take some time to treat someone like that.

"Then don't blame me for calling the police."

The auction house staff were also pondering what the middle-aged man had said.

Since such a large auction house dares to open in this location, it must have already taken care of everything and isn't afraid of being reported to the police. However, it's definitely not good for the auction house's reputation. What if word gets out that they sell counterfeit medicine? Who would dare to come to their auction house in the future?

Seeing that the auction house staff remained silent, the middle-aged man knew they were considering the pros and cons, so he...

"I'm giving you ten minutes to give me the contact information of the person who sold you the medicine. Otherwise, I'll call the police when the time is up."

Ten minutes passed quickly.

When the time came, the man took out his phone and dialed an international police number.

"What are you doing?"

A loud bang nearly made the man drop his phone in fright.

Then I saw him rush to the old man's side, and say with a hint of surprise in his voice, "Dad, you're awake."

"Nonsense, wouldn't that be a ghost talking to you?"

"But you fainted right after you vomited blood."

The old man ignored him; his son was mentally unstable. He's perfectly fine now.

The mentally unstable son only realized this belatedly.

His father seemed to be alright. So he asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Dad, how are you feeling now? Is there anything that's bothering you? I'll call a doctor to check you out."

"No, I feel like I'm as strong as an ox now, walking 100 meters is no problem for me."

The man was terrified. His father used to be so weak that he would be out of breath after just two steps, let alone walk 100 meters.

The old man saw that his son did not believe him.

Then he suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the private room.

"See? See? I can walk back and forth now."

The old man was as happy as a child.

The old man's action reminded the middle-aged man and the auction house staff that the "second spring" had indeed been effective.

When the medicine was auctioned off, many people were dismissive, thinking it was just an ordinary pill. However, the person who consigned the medicine had a powerful background, which forced them to set the price so low. Although it eventually sold for 3 million, they considered that price to be the absolute maximum.

I never expected this.

This "second spring" is truly amazing.

He quickly relayed the news to his superiors.

The auction house staff thought about it for a while.

The middle-aged man, completely changing his previous attitude, grabbed the hand of an auction staff member and asked kindly, "Do you have any more 'Another Spring'? I'll take as many as you have!"

"Sir, there are none left. We only have one left in our auction house."

"That's a pity. Could you give me his contact information? Don't worry, I won't cause him any trouble. I just want to buy some more of this 'Spring Again' product."

"Sir, I'm sorry, we have a confidentiality agreement with the client and cannot reveal his true identity to anyone."

"All right."

"Sir, if you're done here, I'll be leaving. Do you need me to find a doctor for you?"

"No need."

Goodbye, you two.

The auction staff slowly left the private box.
