Zhou Jingrui looked at the information in his hand and said indifferently, "This month's bonus will be doubled!"
The secretary patted his chest, his mood plummeting like a roller coaster! Fortunately, this time it wasn't a bad thing! His boss was still very nice to him when he was normal.
He nodded, thanked him, and quickly slipped out the door.
Lan Guoer returned to the villa and first picked out some of the things she had bought today and put them into her space, and put the rest together to check in tomorrow.
As for the auction items, she thought about it. According to what He Xiangqian said that day, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng could be sold for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
What about two hundred years, three hundred years, or even five hundred years?
She's currently unsure! After all, aside from the value of the item itself, there are so many factors that determine its final transaction price.
But when it comes to this kind of rare herb, it’s not as simple as increasing by multiples!
Considering that Song Feifei spent 38 million to buy that jade pendant, and the boss planned to keep three pieces as heirlooms, normally the quality would only be better!
At the auction, if someone were to bid up the price again, those three pieces would fetch at least 100 million!
Although the settlement here is in Hong Kong dollars, the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and Chinese yuan is 1:0.97 at this time, which can be regarded as almost the same.
Asking her to buy it with real money would be painful even for her!
But exchanging it for wild ginseng is just a drop in the bucket for her!
If she wasn't worried that taking out too many at once would make them too conspicuous and give people the illusion of an overabundance, thus affecting the final transaction price, she would have wanted to load a whole truck with them and send them off for auction!
After careful consideration, she took out four plants of different years from the space and put them into different brocade boxes.
One each for the two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, and seven hundred years.
I thought to myself, one hundred million is not easy to come up with, so I’ll just take whatever I can get from these sales!
She had a lot of jewelry and jade in her hands, and she wanted to buy the jade mainly out of curiosity about the feeling. She would be satisfied if she could get one of the three pieces.
After handing the auction items to Secretary Gao, she went back to her room and changed into a white loose-fitting women's suit. Her black hair was neatly tied behind her head, and she paired it with a pearl necklace and earrings, and flat pointed leather shoes. She looked simple, capable, and fashionable.
When Tang Zhan came back after finishing his work, he saw his young wife dressed up and walking down the stairs with a small silver leather bag in her hand.
"Wife, are you...going out?"
Watching her walk down the stairs, he walked forward, stretched out his big hands, and held her in front of him.
Lan Guoer raised her eyes and saw that his eyes were bloodshot. She knew that he came here on a mission and naturally had a lot of things to do. She told him that she was going to attend the auction and persuaded him to go back to his room to rest.
"Everything will be fine with Brother Zhou here. Look at the dark circles under your eyes lately. They're almost as dark as the national treasure giant panda! You should just take a nap at home. It will only take two or three hours at most. We'll be back soon."
Tang Zhan left home before dawn today, rushing to finish his work, thinking of coming back early to be with his wife! How could he agree to that?
He held her tightly in his arms, like a child who wanted to go out with her mother.
"You said we were newlyweds, and you were attending an auction alone. What would those tabloid reporters think if they took pictures of you? Wouldn't tomorrow's headlines be about the Zhou family's second young mistress falling out of favor after her marriage, so she went to the auction alone to spend money and vent her anger? Hmm?"
Although Lan Guoer knew that he was playing rogue, she thought that this possibility was not impossible!
If after she leaves, someone else wants to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to her, then all their efforts will be wasted!
So, when Zhou Jingrui came to pick them up, he saw the two of them coming out hand in hand, and the corners of his lips, which had been raised high, quickly drooped down.
But Mr. Zhou was so tactless as to add fuel to the fire!
"Thank you for your hard work, big brother, for personally picking us up! If my wife sees anything she likes, she'll just ask you for some help! Oh, big brother, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want my wife to prescribe some medicine for you? Don't leave halfway, or people will misunderstand that we're having a fight!"
Zhou Jingrui took a deep breath! How could he not hear the hidden meaning in his words? But he couldn't help but be irritated by his constant mention of "my wife" and "my wife" until his eyes sparked!
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and endured it, squeezing out a sentence, "Don't worry! I, Zhou Jingrui, am not so stingy as to curse myself sick if you borrow a few melons and dates!"
"That's good, that's good!" Zhou Ershao chuckled twice and brought Lan Guo'er to his side. "My little brother is short of money recently! I feel relieved with what Big Brother said, hehe~"
Lan Guoer: “…”
It's unbearable to watch! It's truly unbearable to watch! How can she still want this man?!
The three of them arrived at the auction site side by side.
When the organizer learned that Mr. Zhou would be there in person, he was already waiting in front of the gate.
Seeing the two young masters of the Zhou family arrive together, he seemed to be energized and could not even speak clearly!
"Young Master Zhou Zhou Zhou, Young Master Er Er, welcome, welcome all three of you! Please come in quickly!"
As he led them to the front VIP seats, he said, "Young Master, we've already printed the promotional materials for the items Secretary Gao sent us this afternoon and sent them to our auction house's major patrons. You truly are a man who makes a splash! You've truly opened our eyes!"
Thinking about the shocked looks on the faces of those people in the Quality Inspection Department when the 700-year-old wild ginseng was first delivered, some even questioned its authenticity!
Seven hundred years! If there really is a world of immortal cultivation, wouldn’t everyone have become a spirit?
But how could that rich medicinal fragrance and genuine appearance be fake!
After a series of tests, it was confirmed to be authentic without a doubt!
This was the most expensive wild ginseng their auction house had ever received! The starting price was estimated at 30 million.
The other three, 200-year-old, 300-year-old and 500-year-old, were also assessed with starting prices of 500,000, 3 million and 10 million respectively.
You know, these precious medicinal herbs are not like other antiques and treasures. They can be used to save lives in critical moments! Anyone with a little bit of assets wouldn't want to live a few more years!
It’s a pity that wild ginseng is a good thing that can only be found by chance, and not everyone has the opportunity to encounter it.
Especially the 700-year-old one!
He was almost certain that no auction house in Hong Kong had ever received such top-quality wild ginseng before.
This is not just about making money, it is also a great opportunity for their auction house to make a name for itself!
To this end, most of their staff took action, printed the materials expeditedly, and delivered the materials to major customers overtime.
As expected, after receiving the information, old customers who had not originally planned to participate in the auction called and asked them to reserve seats.
