Chapter 175: Rich, Leng Family

"Six hundred thousand."

"Seven hundred thousand."

"Eight hundred thousand."

After a round of bidding, the first orchid pot was sold for 1.2 million yuan. The buyer was the elder of the girl in the black dress who approached Zhang Wanwan.

Zhang Wanwan was very excited when she heard this, and she liked the girl a lot more. Because the price was more than double her previous estimate, she thought that the price would only get higher in the future.

Sure enough, the second pot was the orchid with an extra petal of red and gold. Mr. Xia originally estimated its value to be between 1.5 million and 2 million, but it was finally sold for 4 million.

The third pot of black orchid was even more exaggerated, and was sold directly for 10 million. Apart from anything else, Zhang Wanwan’s goal was achieved just by the auction price of this pot of flowers.

The auction prices for the next few pots of flowers never fell below 10 million, and the lowest was more than 15 million, until the last pot of colorful orchids.

The appearance of this orchid successfully brought the auction to a climax. Some people almost rushed onto the auction stage. Fortunately, the security guards in the auction hall were powerful and stopped them all.

However, this pot of orchid also made those crazy people go crazy. They didn't stop even after the price reached over 100 million yuan, and no one gave in to anyone else.

Zhang Wanwan asked Zhang Chunyan beside her in surprise, "Professor, Mr. Xia obviously likes that pot of colorful orchid very much, why didn't he participate in the auction this time?"

Zhang Chunyan pointed at the three people who were still bidding and whispered, "See? The one in the middle of the first row is the head of the Leng family. The Leng family is powerful and influential, and they are the top dignitaries in Beijing. The one on the left of the head of the Leng family is the Huo family, and the one on the right is the Zhu family. They are all top dignitaries. If these three families stomp their feet in Beijing, it will shake Beijing. No one else dares to provoke them. Before, the head of the Leng family didn't bid, so everyone dared to compete for it. This time, the Leng family is obviously determined to win, and no one else dares to compete with them. But you don't have to worry, these three families are all very rich, and it will only benefit you if they compete with you."

Zhang Wanwan didn't understand these things. When she heard about the Leng family, she had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't think about it too much. She couldn't think too much at this time because the three companies had already called out the price to 200 million.

Even Old Xia was frightened by this man's price, but when gods are fighting, mortals like them don't even have the qualifications to speak out.

In the end, the orchid was bought by the Leng family for 250 million yuan.

The auction ended successfully.

As soon as the auction ended, several powerful families took the lead to leave with their people. Unlike the Leng family who was in high spirits, the people from the Huo family and the Zhu family were obviously holding back their anger, and their faces looked very ugly.

Others did not dare to bring bad luck, and continued to talk and laugh only after the three giants left. This time, Xia Mu bought a pot of bright red orchid for 30 million, and Li Yukun bought a pot of light yellow orchid with gold edges. The transaction price was 28 million. Because it was Mr. Li's favorite, it could be said that they had won his favorite, and Mr. Li was very happy about it.

The group went to the private room downstairs. Old Xia was still talking about the pot of colorful orchids with regret, "If those three families hadn't taken a fancy to it, I would have wanted to fight for it myself! Oh! Forget it, forget it!"

As he was speaking, a man in a suit came in with two subordinates, whispered something in Xia Lao's ear, and handed him a box.

Old Xia motioned him to go down, and then handed the things to Zhang Wanwan, "Girl, the total price of the auction of these ten orchids today is 456.2 million. It's all in this card. You can check it and go to the bank to transfer it to your name."

Zhang Wanwan took the hot card and felt her mouth dry. "Grandpa Xia, this auction must have cost you a lot of money. I heard that the organizers of auctions take a commission. Can you see if we are following the rules?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Old Xia's eyes, and then he smiled appreciatively, "Not bad, not bad. It's rare that a child like you can still think of these issues now. No need for money. This auction is held in the name of the Xia family. After this auction, the Xia family has also entered a higher level circle, which will benefit us more. If you want to thank me, remember to notify me first when you have good things in the future! Haha."

Although Elder Xia said so, Zhang Wanwan still felt that she had to do nothing. After thinking for a moment, she said to Elder Xia seriously, "How about this, Grandpa Xia, when the remaining orchids I have bloom, I will give you another pot, as a thank you for your help this time."

"What a great feeling!" Old Xia said with surprise. His face was flushed and you could tell at a glance that he was in a very good mood.

After leaving the hotel, Zhang Wanwan said to Zhang Chunyan, "Professor, it's late. Let me take you home!"

Zhang Chunyan knew that Zhang Wanwan had her own car, so he didn't bother to be polite with her.

On the way, he asked Zhang Wanwan, "Now that you have the money, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Wanwan did not hide it from him and told Zhang Chunyan about her career plan. "I think Pu City has great development prospects. I will go back and work slowly on my own. I will definitely be able to expand my career!"

Zhang Chunyan listened to her grand ambitions and smiled lovingly, "Have you ever thought about continuing to cultivate orchids? You will become rich if you just participate in an orchid auction!"

Zhang Wanwan shook her head and replied seriously, "This time it was an accident. Who knows if I will have this kind of luck in the future? Besides, I have no background. If people knew that I could breed mutant orchids, my life would definitely not be free in the future! No, no, I still like to live a down-to-earth life."

Zhang Chunyan nodded continuously, "Okay! If you have the ambition, the professor will support you! We also have a research institute in Pu City, and maybe we can cooperate with you in the future."

"That's great! I can even get the professor to support me." Zhang Wanwan laughed.

After sending Zhang Chunyan back, Zhang Wanwan ran to the bank when it opened the next day and transferred the money to her own name as soon as possible.

After doing all this, she took a pot of Thuja sutchuenensis and sent it to Zhang Chunyan's home. She discovered yesterday when she sent Zhang Chunyan home that there were not many flowers and trees in Zhang Chunyan's home, but there were many green plants, even in the living room. She thought he would like Thuja sutchuenensis.

It happened that Zhang Chunyan had no classes today and had not gone out in the morning. When he saw Zhang Wanwan holding a pot of exquisite Thuja striata, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhang Wanwan directly brought the Thuja sutchuenensis in and carefully placed it on the table. "Professor, this is a potted plant I picked especially for you. Do you like it?"

Zhang Chunyan nodded continuously, stared at the Thuja sutchuenensis and studied it for a while, exclaiming: "Is this a wild Thuja sutchuenensis? It must be quite old! What's rare is its graceful posture, just like a dancing lady, without any artificial decoration. Not bad, not bad, beautiful, elegant! This pot is not cheap! Don't you feel bad that you gave it to me instead of selling it in your store?"
