Chapter 185 The auction items sought by the big guys
The lights in the magnificent banquet hall were bright, and the successful people in gorgeous clothes were toasting and chatting happily.
What a lively and luxurious high-end dinner!
Jiang Wanwan, who was in the middle of it, was sitting in the corner with a glass of champagne for show, which seemed a bit out of place.
To be honest, when she was an ordinary person, Jiang Wanwan had only seen such banquets on TV.
As for now, she has a golden finger, but she has never attended one because she doesn't like lively personality.
Fortunately, although this is Jiang Wanwan's first banquet.
But because she has confidence in her heart, although she is not used to it in various ways, she did not show any fear.
However, Jiang Wanwan was a little surprised when she saw Sun Xiaoshuang chatting and laughing with others.
When she was in school before, Sun Xiaoshuang only showed herself to be an ordinary college student with money.
This was the first time that Jiang Wanwan saw such a different side of Sun Xiaoshuang.
The calmness in her gestures and the confidence when talking to others were all things she had never shown in school.
She looked a little strange!
However, the strange feeling she had just created immediately disappeared when Sun Xiaoshuang walked over, sat down gracefully, and whispered in Jiang Wanwan's ear.
"Oh, finally we've said hello. My mouth is dry!"
These words made Sun Xiaoshuang become the familiar her again.
"You are smiling so brightly, I thought you were really happy!" Jiang Wanwan said, handing the unfinished champagne in her hand to him.
Sun Xiaoshuang took the champagne, leaned sideways and drank it all, moistened her throat, and then continued to speak.
"Happy as hell, my face is stiff from smiling!"
As she said that, she put down the champagne glass and wanted to reach out to rub her cheeks, but then she remembered that she was still wearing delicate makeup!
In the end, she had no choice but to put her hand down and whispered.
"There is less than half an hour left before the auction starts. Let's sit for another ten minutes and then go to the venue!" It was
seven forty-five.
Sun Xiaoshuang took Jiang Wanwan to the auction venue inside the banquet hall.
As for Li Qinglan, she was left in the banquet hall and they would go back together after the auction was over.
Of course, this was just what Sun Xiaoshuang thought.
The auction venue was not small, and there were about a hundred chairs placed inside.
Now most of those seats were occupied.
Sun Xiaoshuang pulled Jiang Wanwan and sat in the second to last row.
There were still ten minutes before the auction started. Some people at the scene closed their eyes to rest, while others were talking in low voices.
As for Sun Xiaoshuang, she was quietly introducing the big guys sitting in the front row to Jiang Wanwan!
"Look, that's the mayor of Kyoto. Since you're in Kyoto, I'll accompany you to say hello later!"
There's no need to say hello!
Jiang Wanwan smiled, but she refused in her heart.
"And that one, the governor of the neighboring province, I didn't expect him to come here too."
The governor of the neighboring province? I don't know him.
"Oh my god, that one seems to be the commander of a certain military region, I didn't expect him to come here too."
Hey, I seem to know this one, I've seen him before in a meeting with the big guys.
"And that one, the director of the Propaganda Department."
He looks familiar. By the way, we've met before in the military region where the mecha actual combat exercise was held.
"The one next to him is..."
As Sun Xiaoshuang introduced them one by one, Jiang Wanwan also had a general understanding of the identities of the people sitting in the front row.
It must be said that there are indeed many big guys in this auction.
There are quite a few people that Jiang Wanwan has met before.
In addition to the big guys in the front row, there are also some district-level cadres and military region division commanders sitting in the middle.
As for the people sitting in the last few rows, they were all CEOs of listed companies.
As time passed, the auction was about to begin.
At this time, two more people walked in from the door and sat down in the back row on the left.
Sun Xiaoshuang turned around subconsciously. She was just going to take a casual look.
But when she saw the appearance of one of them, her eyes widened.
After staring blankly for a few seconds, she finally set her sights on Jiang Wanwan. She
was very surprised but had to lower her voice and asked, "Is that your cousin?"
Jiang Wanwan turned her head and glanced at Xu Jinghuai and Li Qinglan who were sitting next to her, and nodded helplessly, "Yes!" "
How did she get in?" Sun Xiaoshuang asked curiously.
She had already explained how rare it was to get a spot in this auction.
"I don't know, maybe someone close to her brought her in?" Jiang Wanwan gave her own guess.
Hearing Jiang Wanwan say this, Sun Xiaoshuang looked at the man who came in with her, and then withdrew her gaze doubtfully.
At this time, the time had come to eight o'clock.
An auctioneer in a cheongsam walked up to the auction table, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
After the auctioneer said a few opening words, the live auction began.
Jiang Wanwan had only seen auctions on TV before.
Participating in it now was no different from what she saw on TV.
But being in it, listening to the people on the scene bidding up prices, his emotions couldn't help but be aroused.
After that, half an hour passed, and the auction was halfway through, but Sun Xiaoshuang didn't make a bid.
Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she went over and asked quietly.
"What did you come here to bid for? Hasn't it appeared yet?"
"Don't worry, the thing I want should be on the last shelf." Sun Xiaoshuang explained.
In fact, not only Sun Xiaoshuang, but also the big guys she introduced to them, did not say a word.
It seems that their target should be the same thing!
Who knows, what is it that attracts so many people to want it?
As one precious item after another was auctioned off at a high price, the auction was coming to an end.
Finally, at nine o'clock, a box covered with red satin and one meter long was brought up.
And the auctioneer's next words made everyone present sit up straight.
"Next, it's an item that was just added yesterday, and it's also the highlight of this auction."
"I know that many distinguished guests here are here for this, so I won't waste my words. This thousand-year-old ginseng root contains special substances. The starting price is 1 million RMB, and each bid increase must not be less than 100,000 RMB."
As the words fell, the red ribbon covering the box was also opened, revealing the true appearance of the item in the box.
Inside the box was a brown root with many branches and up to one or two meters long.
Although these roots are messy, they are not messy. They are scattered and fixed in the box. They are densely packed and look quite spectacular.
Is this... ginseng root?
