Chapter 388 The mysterious figure
After deciding to auction the elixirs in the Treasure Pavilion, Jiang Xiaochuan communicated with Miao Ruoxi on the phone.
When delivering the elixir to Miao Ruoxi, she had already investigated the auction and told Jiang Xiaochuan the rules of the Treasure Pavilion.
From Miao Ruoxi's mouth, Jiang Xiaochuan learned that the auctioneer would set a starting price based on the estimated price of the item.
These elixirs can only be sold for about five million, and the starting price is expected to be pitifully low.
Gao Zhong is the chief auctioneer of the Treasure Pavilion, so naturally he won't talk nonsense.
At such a price, you might as well keep it for yourself.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaochuan was about to take back the elixir, Gao Zhong's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
The person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion had specially asked him to handle this matter beautifully.
In his opinion, Jiang Xiaochuan himself may not be important, but Du Hai's introduction and the person in charge's instructions made him dare not be careless at all.
"Jiang Xiaochuan, please stay."
Gao Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, with a hint of sincerity in his tone, "Are you not satisfied with the expected price?"
Jiang Xiaochuan said calmly: "To be honest, this valuation is indeed far different from my expectations."
Gao Zhong smiled slightly and tried to appease Jiang Xiaochuan: "Mr. Jiang, it is my duty to tell you the valuation.
"But in the auction arena, everything is unknown. Sometimes the price of the item will far exceed the estimate. This is also the charm of auction."
Jiang Xiaochuan was unmoved, "You are right, but for some things, the lower limit often determines the upper limit.
"I know the value of these elixirs very well, but I am also worried that if the starting price is too low, the public will question its authenticity."
Gao Zhong's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
He understood that Jiang Xiaochuan's worries were not unreasonable.
At auctions, the starting price of an item often has a great impact on the public's psychological expectations.
If the starting price is set improperly, it may indeed arouse public doubts.
He thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Mr. Jiang, your concerns are very reasonable."
"In your opinion, what is the appropriate starting price for each elixir?"
In order to retain Jiang Xiaochuan, Gao Zhong did not hesitate to use his privileges to change the rules.
This is exactly what Jiang Xiaochuan wanted to see. He said slowly, "The starting price for each elixir is ten million, and each bid must not be less than two million."
Hearing this, a trace of shock and confusion flashed across Gao Zhong's originally calm face.
There is no poor person who can come to the auction to participate in the bidding, but there is no fool at all. This price will even arouse public doubts and dissatisfaction.
But after thinking for a moment, Gao Zhong agreed. Regardless of whether these pills could be sold or not, his mission was completed.
Jiang Xiaochuan also breathed a sigh of relief. From Gao Zhongde's expression, it was easy to see that he did not agree with the starting price he had set.
Jiang Xiaochuan knew very well that Gao Zhong was not a warrior and did not understand the appeal of the marrow elixir to warriors. The starting price was too low and the public might question the authenticity and effectiveness of the elixir.
But once this price comes out, many people will definitely flock to it.
Leaving the elixir and blood jade in the Treasure Pavilion, Jiang Xiaochuan got a ticket for the auction.
The next day, he came to the auction site at the agreed time.
Even though he had been here once, when he actually entered the venue, he was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him.
The entire hall is grand and solemn, like a huge treasure box, illuminated by lights.
Exquisite decoration and bright lights are intertwined to create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and mysterious.
There are still ten minutes left before the auction starts, and the venue is already packed.
Guests from all over gathered together, their whispers and occasional laughter falling into the air like tiny pearls.
On both sides of the seats, VIP rooms stand quietly like noble palaces.
Through the translucent glass door, Jiang Xiaochuan could vaguely see the figures moving inside.
Jiang Xiaochuan's seat was in the middle. When he went to find a seat, he accidentally saw Qin Dongshan sitting in the first row.
Jiang Xiaochuan secretly rejoiced that even figures like Qin Dongshan were sitting here, which proved that the status of the figures in the VIP room was more noble.
This also made him more and more confident that his elixir would be sold at a good price.
Just as the auction was about to begin, there was a sudden slight commotion in the venue.
Jiang Xiaochuan looked back and saw a few figures walking slowly into the venue. The leader is Li Hongye.
"Isn't this Li Hongye?"
"Why is he here?"
Many people were surprised to see him.
The surrounding discussions also gradually started to sound. During this period, the Li family's life was not easy. In order to avoid the public and debts, they almost disappeared from people's sight.
There are even rumors that they have even moved to avoid being tracked by their partners.
Now that Li Hongye has appeared here in such a high profile, he has attracted a lot of attention instantly.
Unlike everyone else's focus, after taking a look at Li Hongye, his eyes fell on the two people behind Li Hongye.
It seemed that they were dressing up deliberately. The two of them covered their cheeks intentionally or unintentionally, making it difficult to see their true appearance clearly.
"These two seem to be women?"
Out of curiosity, Jiang Xiaochuan opened his clairvoyant eyes and looked at the person in front of him.
However, the veil seemed to have some kind of strange magic that made it impossible for his clairvoyant eyes to penetrate it.
Jiang Xiaochuan's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that these two people must be extraordinary people.
At this time, under the leadership of a waiter, Li Hongye and the two mysterious figures walked to the VIP room.
Just as he entered the door, Jiang Xiaochuan spied on the man who suddenly turned around.
