80s Taoism

For this auction, Xu Yanzhang and Tang Jingxian used a lot of resources and carefully prepared for several months, for this is the most important auction of Xu's Auction House. The auction is the highlight.

"Today's first auction item is 120 grams of Jasper Immortal Tea. I won't say much about the value of Jasper Immortal Tea. People who understand tea will naturally know it. The opportunity is rare, and those who are ready to buy it should not miss this opportunity." Luo Aiqi, the number one auctioneer of Xu's Auction House, showed the first auction item of this auction.

"The base price is 50,000 yuan, and each increase must not be less than 2,000 yuan. Now start bidding." Luo Aiqi said.

As soon as Luo Aiqi finished speaking, someone raised a placard, "Sixty thousand."

He actually added 10,000 yuan directly, but the auction house was very calm, because this bid was nothing more than normal. It's not even the final critical moment now, those who want to do it, just pay a price to warm up. Not long ago, the same 120 grams of Biyu Xianyin tea in a bamboo tube was sold for 300,000 yuan. With a price of 60,000, how could it be possible to buy a bottle of Jasper Immortal Drink?

"Zhang Jiaohua, your tea is really popular. Someone is willing to spend 60,000 yuan for a little tea." Ji Jiaxin said incredulously. Ji Jiaxin doesn't understand tea, and doesn't know the huge difference between Jasper Immortal Drink and ordinary tea.

"60,000 yuan? It's impossible for 60,000 yuan to be auctioned for Jasper Immortal Drink!" Xu Xiaoting smiled, "Every time this kind of Jasper Immortal Drink in a bamboo tube is auctioned, the price has never been lower than 300,000 yuan. Now the bid has reached more than 60,000 yuan. I think this auction will at least fetch more than 300,000 yuan."

Ji Jiaxin knew that some tea leaves could be auctioned for sky-high prices, but she did not expect that the Jasper Immortal Drink from Zhang Jiaohua's family could be auctioned for such a high price. This is a lot higher than the price back then.

When Zhang Jiaohua went abroad, Biyu Immortal Drink was not as famous as it is now. Relying on the gradual accumulation over the years, it has its current status. Nowadays, Jasper Immortal Drink is flocking to the high-end market, and there is no market for it.

Jasper Immortal Drink is processed tea, the longer it is stored, the more lingering the fragrance will be. Naturally, the price also doubles with storage time.

While speaking, the quotation for the 120 grams of Jasper Immortal Drink has been raised to more than 200,000 yuan, and there is still no sign of the hammer falling.

"Looking at today's situation, this tube of Jasper Immortal Drink is likely to break the record again. After all, the number of Jasper Immortal Drinks appearing in the market is getting less and less. Every time the Jasper Immortal Drink and Red Jade Immortal Drink of the Jasper Immortal Drink Group come out, they are collected by various companies. The Jasper Immortal Drink Group is also stricter and stricter on the sales of high-end tea. The number of sales has remained unchanged every year. However, the quality of tea products is improving year by year. A guest familiar with the situation sighed.

"Yes. It's a pity that when the Jasper Immortal Drink first came out, I didn't collect more. It's too late to regret now." The guests also nodded.

"Where. Back then, Jasper Immortal Drink was not well-known in the country. It became famous only after participating in an international tasting conference. However, the strategy of Jasper Immortal Drink was very powerful. They first opened up the international market and made a name for themselves in the international arena. Then they turned their guns and returned to the domestic market. If it wasn't like this, they would have captured the domestic market from the very beginning, and they would have been besieged by domestic giants long ago. By the time Jasper Immortal Drink established its brand internationally, the domestic tea giants would have been powerless. Marketing is simply a legend." Another guest also said.

Zhang Jiaohua listened to the conversations of the guests next to him, and suddenly seemed to have returned to the past. In fact, he adopted this strategy back then because he was lucky. The Jasper Immortal Drink was favored by the British royal family. Only then has the strategy of capturing the international market first been settled.

Ji Jiaxin said, "Actually, if you ask me, the main thing is that the tea tastes good. The tea doesn't taste good, so it's useless to think about it."

"By the way, back then, the tea was able to become an instant success, and your contribution is not small." Zhang Jiaohua laughed.

Ji Jiaxin smiled, "Of course. I was the little translator back then."

Xu Xiaoting couldn't talk, so she had to focus on the auction.

"Look, the bid has reached 300,000. I said, today will definitely set a record. Let's see if there is room for improvement." Xu Xiaoting said.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars!" "Three hundred and seven thousand dollars." "Three hundred and one thousand dollars!"...

After reaching 300,000, it will be difficult for the price to rise. The value of this tea is here. No one wants to be taken advantage of. In the end, it was photographed by an old man at a price of 320,000 yuan.

"This auction is really intense." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"That's not counting. After all, the price of tea is still relatively stable. Sometimes when you encounter some auctions whose value fluctuates greatly, the atmosphere of competition is so intense." Xu Xiaoting said.

Zhang Jiaohua watched the auction for a while, and thought it was very interesting at first. When the price was raised to an extremely high level, the tense atmosphere of daggers was indeed very exciting. But the more I watched, the less interested I became. Although the value of those lots was high, none of them interested Hua. For example, the price of an ancient jade article soared to nearly one million, but in Zhang Jiaohua's eyes, it was just an ordinary jade article. The quality of the jade was far inferior to the cobblestones in the Secret Realm of Stream Clouds, but Zhang Jiaohua didn't pay much attention to the spirit jade with aura, so how could he value the ordinary jade in front of him?

The alchemy furnace never came out, Zhang Jiaohua couldn't sit still.

"Zhang Jiaohua, I have seen it. The alchemy furnace you are interested in will be released soon." Xu Xiaoting could see Zhang Jiaohua's anxiety.

"Really?" Zhang Jiaohua finally sat down quietly.

Soon, the so-called alchemy furnace finally appeared on the booth.

"Dear distinguished guests, the following item is a very interesting lot. According to the owner of the lot, it was once used by his ancestors to make alchemy. It is said that some of his ancestors were monks. We know that monks in ancient times liked to make alchemy. Especially in the Han Dynasty, when the alchemy industry developed to its peak, the whole people took pills. In history, there was an emperor who was poisoned by taking pills. According to third-party identification, this lot is about Tang and Song Dynasties. It may be even longer. It's beyond imagination. The appearance is simple, and the decoration is relatively simple. Maybe it's more practical." Luo Aiqi searched his brains to find some good words for this alchemy furnace, but there was really nothing to say.

The low price of the alchemy furnace is not high, starting at 50,000.

"Is this an alchemy furnace?" Zhang Jiaohua was dumbfounded when he saw the so-called alchemy furnace on the booth, it was totally different from what he had imagined. Zhang Jiaohua had another sentence that she was embarrassed to say to the two beauties: This thing is more like a urinal.

"It really doesn't look like it. How could there be such an ugly thing?" Ji Jiaxin also chuckled.

Xu Xiaoting was embarrassed to say that her own auction items were not good, but looking at this alchemy furnace, she was really blushing, it was so embarrassing!

"Zhang Jiaohua, why don't you take pictures." Xu Xiaoting said in a low voice.

"It's okay to take a picture and have a look." Zhang Jiaohua smiled.

For the first time this evening, no one raised a sign when the lot was put on display for a long time.

"It seems that this alchemy furnace is going to fail again." Luo Aiqi was about to put away the alchemy furnace. Started to auction the next auction item, "It has long been said that it is a waste of time to take out this item."

"Fifty thousand! I want it!" Zhang Jiaohua stood up.

Luo Aiqi took a look at Zhang Jiaohua, thinking that Zhang Jiaohua was a kid from some family, joking, "What did you say?"

"This urinal, oh no, I took a picture of the alchemy furnace." Zhang Jiao spent a while and said that he had slipped his mouth. It caused a burst of laughter from the audience. They all looked at it carefully, and it was really not nonsense. No matter how you look at it, this thing doesn't look like an alchemy furnace, but more like a urinal. But, brother, what do you mean by spending 50,000 yuan on a urinal? Can you be so willful if you have money?

"You really took the picture? You don't really want to take it back and take it back, what do you take it for?" Although Ji Jiaxin grinned, she was embarrassed to say the word urinal.

"Of course not. I just want to see what the alchemy furnaces of the ancients looked like." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Are you serious?" Luo Aiqi was also confused by Zhang Jiaohua, and said something very unprofessional. It made the audience laugh again.

"Of course it's true. I paid a deposit." Zhang Jiaohua took out his own voucher.

"Okay, deal!" Luo Aiqi immediately dropped the hammer to make the deal. Will there be anyone else to bid for this thing?

After the auction was over, Zhang Jiaohua happily followed the staff to pay the money, and then took the alchemy furnace into his hands. As soon as he took the alchemy furnace, he immediately smelled it.

"Oh, what a big smell!" Zhang Jiaohua frowned. It's a musty smell, and the thing is in very bad shape. I'm afraid it has been kept in a damp corner by collectors. Fortunately, there is no rust on the alchemy furnace. It seems that the material is still extraordinary. You know, it is impossible for ordinary materials to be so well preserved for so many years.

Although Zhang Jiaohua paid the money, Tang Jingxian and Xu Yanzhang were still a little worried.

"Zhang Jiaohua, you spent so much money on an alchemy furnace, have you told your parents?" Xu Yanzhang asked.

"No. They are not in the capital. Everything is decided by me." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Then how about I return the money to you and give you this alchemy furnace?" Xu Yanzhang said.

"No. I have money." Zhang Jiaohua shook his head.

"Uncle Xu, don't worry, Zhang Jiaohua must be rich. Don't worry, his parents won't blame him, let alone Uncle Xu and Aunt Tang." Ji Jiaxin laughed.

"How is it possible? Such a large amount of money is not a small sum in any family." Xu Yanzhang was still a little worried.

Shen Bing smiled and said, "Brother Xu, I have known this kid for many years. He has been very assertive since he was a child. Don't worry, his parents really won't blame him."

"You know Zhang Jiaohua?" Xu Yanzhang was very surprised.

"We met many years ago. In fact, speaking of it, there is another item in today's auction that is from Zhang Jiaohua's family." Shen Bing said.

"Which one?" Tang Jingxian also asked curiously.

"Jade Immortal Drink." Shen Bing said.

"Ah?" Tang Jingxian and Xu Yanzhang were shocked when they heard the words.
