One month later.
"Sister Qiu, the auction house is all renovated and the staff is all in place. When do we open?"
Zhou Yi presented the report on Xueji to Ruan Qiushui, and also mentioned the progress of the auction house.
"The auction house officially opened a week later."
"These next few days, you'll be in charge of building up the hype for the auction house."
Ruan Qiushui thought for a moment and realized that seven days was enough time for the auction house to become a household name.
"clear."
Zhou Yi nodded.
Qiu-jie had already taught him how to do this before.
"Sister Qiu, what about our auction items?"
Over the past month, Zhou Yi had indeed amassed some valuable items. However, these items were still insufficient for those powerful figures, only attracting ordinary people.
For a grand and impressive auction house like Gujin Auction House, in addition to extensive publicity, it also needs to offer high-quality items to match.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get the things for you now. Go back and find some nice boxes to pack them up."
Ruan Qiushui left the living room and went to the bedroom. She took out one ginseng each that was three hundred years old, five hundred years old, and eight hundred years old from her space, and then took out a thousand-year-old purple ginseng.
There are also five purple and five black Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, each 500 years old, and several other precious medicinal materials.
She might not have much else in her space, but she certainly had a plentiful supply of medicinal herbs. After all, her space allowed her to buy seeds for any crop, and the soil could even shorten the growth cycle.
Ruan Qiushui sent all the medicinal herbs to the processing plant for processing; the freshly unearthed ones were just too eye-catching.
"Isn't it too monotonous to have only medicinal herbs?"
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Qiushui went to the seafood area and collected some oysters, which she then processed into several sets of Tahitian black pearl jewelry.
The biggest advantage of aquaculture zones is that they can simulate the most suitable environment for any type of aquatic product being farmed.
"With so much seafood, if we only eat it ourselves, we'll never be able to finish it, and it's a waste of space."
After thinking about it, Ruan Qiushui felt it was necessary to open a boutique private restaurant, specializing in cooking high-end ingredients and preparing imperial dishes for entertaining dignitaries.
However, let's wait until the auction house is back on track before discussing this matter.
Ruan Qiushui casually grabbed a cloth bag, packed everything in it, and handed it to Zhou Yi.
"Oh my goodness, Sister Qiu, you're going too far..."
Zhou Yi looked at the treasures in the bag and swallowed the word "casually".
This is ginseng and lingzhi, worth a fortune! Just leaving it piled up like wild onions and vegetables is too much for his heart to handle.
But only Sister Qiu could treat them so calmly as ordinary things.
Is this enough?
Although the variety is somewhat limited, each item is a rare find.
Especially ginseng and lingzhi, who wouldn't be tempted once the news is released?
"That's enough, that's enough."
Zhou Yi held the bag like it was a precious treasure, so frightened that he stammered.
These treasures, along with what he had collected, were enough to sustain an entire auction.
Zhou Yi felt a little guilty at this moment, wondering if he would be robbed on the way home with so many treasures.
If it gets lost in his hands, even working for Sister Qiu for eight lifetimes wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.
"Sister Qiu, are we going to use up all our savings at once?"
Zhou Yi was worried that if all the items were used in the first auction, the subsequent auctions would lack momentum and end in failure.
This is not conducive to the sustainable development of auction houses.
"Don't worry, as long as there is demand for ginseng and lingzhi, there will always be a supply."
It's just that you can't take dozens or hundreds of kilograms at a time like you would with ordinary medicinal herbs.
However, it doesn't matter if one or two pieces are taken out at the monthly auction.
At most, I'll have to work hard at night, and after Gu Changfeng falls asleep, I'll run to the bathroom and do some hard work in the space.
Scarcity drives up prices; controlling the quantity can also raise prices.
"Sister Qiu, what about this ginseng?"
Zhou Yi rubbed his hands together and looked at Ruan Qiushui with a somewhat ingratiating expression.
He just wanted to buy a ginseng root to take home as a family heirloom.
Even if you can't afford a thousand or eight hundred years' worth, you can still scrape together three or five hundred.
If something were to happen to him or Yao Yao in the future, there would be a life-saving medicine.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you. Once this auction is successfully concluded, I'll give you a 500-year-old bottle."
A single ginseng root is as common as white radishes in Ruan Qiushui's hands.
If giving it to Zhou Yi would make him work even harder for me, why not?
"Sister Qiu, you are like my own sister."
If Zhou Yi weren't worried about making Ruan Qiushui sound old, he would have called her "Grandma."
Meeting Sister Qiu in this life is the greatest blessing he could ever have.
Who can find such a generous patron?
"Alright, alright, I'll leave the auction to you."
Ruan Qiushui waved her hand, dismissing Zhou Yi.
Today, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yongjun took their two children out to play.
Gu Changfeng was also busy with the construction team's affairs, and as for Gu Xiaoxiao and her brother, they were probably out for a stroll with their classmates.
She was home alone and had nothing to do, so she decided to go into her spatial dimension to grow some medicinal herbs to pass the time.
"Bang bang bang".
"Ruan girl, are you home?"
As luck would have it, just as Ruan Qiushui was about to enter the space, Old Master He Xianwei arrived.
"Mr. He, what's the matter?"
School's out today, why isn't Old He home to rest? Why is he here instead?
"I have a patient here, and I hope you can come and take a look at him."
"If it's convenient, let's set off now."
He Xianwei looked grave, truly at a loss.
"Wait a mininute."
Ruan Qiushui returned to her bedroom, picked up her medical kit, and headed out.
“Ruan girl, remember this: whatever you hear or see, you must not reveal a single word to anyone.”
Inside the car, He Xianwei sat next to Ruan Qiushui and solemnly gave her instructions.
Neither the patient's condition nor their background or identity should be known to the outside world.
If even a single piece of information were leaked, it could potentially cause a political upheaval.
"Mr. He, I understand."
Speak less, listen less, and watch less.
Ruan Qiushui wasn't particularly curious. Since Old He had only asked her to help with the medical treatment, she would just focus on that.
"good."
He Xianwei nodded.
He did this for Ruan Qiushui's own good.
The two sat in the car for almost an hour before arriving at a resort.
It was an ordinary resort, and even the path leading to the houses had soldiers standing guard.
He Xianwei handed over the pass through the car window, and after four rounds of checks, he finally arrived at the gate.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they underwent another security check, which even included Ruan Qiushui's medicine box.
They were only allowed to pass after the guards ruled out the possibility that the person was carrying weapons or other dangerous items.
"Mr. He, you've arrived."
The door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler greeted them warmly.
