C22 The Auction
"What? Is he famous?"
"Brother, you don't know. He is a drug addict and can be called a godly doctor for three breaths of time. His medical skills are naturally not bad."
"I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for us to obtain this Tian Mountain Saussurea today."
Liu Tianming frowned slightly. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Isn't it always the highest bidder in the auction house who gets the Tian Mountain Saussurea? Could it be that the rules will be broken because of this Shen Mingyang?"
"It's hard to say."
As he spoke, he placed his attention on the stage.
Even if Shen Mingyang was here, he would do his best for his granddaughter.
Luo Faan was not in a hurry. He was prepared to observe for a while.
"Next, we will start the auction of our first auction item, the ruby Buddha Maitreya. The starting price is one million, and each increment must be no less than ten thousand."
The ruby was a rare Agate Stone. In the end, the Li family sold it for five million, but Luo Faan didn't take any action. Instead, he looked forward to the next auction item.
"The second auction item is Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance Painting. The starting price is five million, and each increment must be no less than one hundred thousand."
"It's... it's actually Tang Yin's real work."
In the beginning, Tang Bohu's painting was sold for twenty million. On the side, Liu Tianming looked like he was about to make a move.
But when he thought about the price of the painting, he stopped.
"Brother, did you plan to bid for the painting just now?"
Liu Tianming did not plan to hide it, but nodded in agreement.
"Fortunately, you did not take the picture. I will tell you the truth. That painting is just a fake. If you take it, it will be worthless."
Fake?
With my brother's words, I can feel a little better. "
Otherwise, he would really impulsively take a picture of Tang Bohu's painting.
In the end, the painting of Tang Bohu was taken by the people of the Wang family.
...
Next, Luo Faan was not interested in most of the items being auctioned.
When the last item was blocked by a red cloth, everyone's eyes were fixed on it.
"Next, the last auction item for this auction will be held - Tian Mountain Saussurea."
As the auctioneer removed the red cloth, the snow-white lotus flower that looked like a lotus flower was taken out.
"I believe everyone has heard of this Tian Mountain Saussurea before. It is known as the king of all herbs, the best of all herbs."
"The starting price of the Tian Mountain Saussurea is 30 million. Each increment must be no less than 1 million."
Once the starting price was confirmed, people started bidding one after another.
"Room 1 offers 50 million."
"Room 2 offers 60 million."
...
"I offer 100 million." The person in room number 3 raised his card.
Liu Tianming could not help but take a look.
He knew very well who was in room number three. Other than the godly doctor, Shen Mingyang, no one else would pay such a high price for a Tian Mountain Saussurea.
As for why the other families would bid for a Tian Mountain Saussurea, they wanted to give it to the godly doctor. With the protection of the godly doctor, there was no need to worry about injuries.
"Room number 3 costs 100 million once, 120 thousand twice..."
The auctioneer picked up the auction hammer and prepared to knock it down.
As for the sign in Liu Tianming's hand, he was ready to raise it. Although the price of the Tian Mountain Saussurea was beyond his endurance, for the sake of her granddaughter, he still wanted to grit his teeth and persevere.
"Wait."
However, Luo Faan said it too late. Liu Tianming raised his plate.
"Room 6 offers 150 million."
When no one bid, Liu Tianming's worried heart was temporarily relieved.
"No one can snatch the item away from me, Shen Mingyang."
Not long after, the person in room number six raised his card again.
"booth 6 offers 200 million." The auctioneer's voice began to shout again.
Cold sweat broke out on Liu Tianming's face. If he missed this opportunity, his granddaughter would be gone.
"Old brother, why don't you listen to me? This Tian Mountain Saussurea has only grown for a few decades. Your granddaughter's illness must be found for a hundred years before it can be effective."
Seeing Liu Tianming's appearance of being at a loss, Luo Faan patted his shoulder from behind him.
"In other words, my granddaughter's illness is really incurable?"
To Liu Tianming, being able to hear the news about the Tian Mountain Saussurea was an opportunity.
As long as he patted the Tian Mountain Saussurea, her granddaughter's illness would be saved.
However, this news had destroyed all of his hopes.
"Not necessarily."
"Since he can take out Tian Mountain Saussureas that have been around for decades, it means that the person who brought the snow lotus to be auctioned has at least a hundred years old Tian Mountain Saussureas in his possession. It's just that this snow lotus is extremely precious and won't be easily revealed to others."
"Old brother, you can go and inquire about the news and find out who sent the Tian Mountain Saussureas. " We still have a chance to save your granddaughter. "
As Liu Tianming didn't continue bidding, the Tian Mountain Saussurea was bought by Shen Mingyang from room number six for 200 million.
"Congratulations, Godly Doctor Shen, for obtaining the treasure." A middle-aged man bowed his head and said.
"Sure, sure."
"In the future, if there is anything that can help me, Shen Mingyang, I will do it."
Shen Mingyang had the money to participate in the competition, so he naturally had his family backing him up.
If he could befriend a godly doctor, it would be worth it even if his family wasted their resources.
"Brother, I've found out. This Tian Mountain Saussurea seems to be the auction house's chairman. He brought it to auction himself. " I'm afraid that only by looking for him will we be able to find out some information about the hundred-year-old medicinal Tian Mountain Saussurea. "
"There's no time to lose. Let's go now."
Knowing that Liu Tianming was anxious, Luo Faan did not intend to stay any longer.
Not long after they walked out of the room, Shen Mingyang saw a familiar figure.
"Yo, this... Isn't this Elder Liu? Why? You don't have good medical skills, so you want to buy medicinal Tian Mountain Saussureas to make up for it?"
When they were leaving, Liu Tianming had deliberately avoided Shen Mingyang, but unexpectedly, he was still recognized by this old man.
"I heard your granddaughter is sick. I wanted to take a picture of the snow lotus to save her."
"Why don't you beg me? Maybe if I'm happy, I'll give you a petal to save your granddaughter."
The middle-aged man by the side was stunned.
He had no idea what Shen Mingyang was talking about.
"Godly Doctor Shen, this is..."
"Look at my memory. I almost forgot to introduce you. This is the famous Godly Doctor Liu. Unfortunately, he is useless."
Shen Mingyang's words were full of disdain for Liu Tianming.
"Liu Tianming, I think this person beside you is your new apprentice. As expected, he is getting older and doesn't even know how to select people. No wonder his reputation in the medical field is not as good as before."
"Shen Mingyang, keep your mouth clean. He is a friend I invited." Liu Tianming, who had been silent all this time, finally became anxious when he heard this.
He could tolerate it if he said he was not good enough, but to talk about Godly Doctor Luo was an insult to a godly doctor.
"Haha..."
"A short-sighted person like you won't be much better if you choose an apprentice."
"I still have matters to attend to, so I won't chat with you for now."
Luo Faan did not take this person seriously at all.
"A kind reminder. Don't let him save people in three breaths. Otherwise, his life will be in danger."
The middle-aged man didn't take Luo Faan's words seriously. He was young and wanted to bluff and swindle others, but he wouldn't fall for it.
Wait! After Zhao Mingyang left, Liu Tianming brought Luo Faan to look for him.
"May I ask if President Zhou is here?"
"I am Liu Tianming. I want to visit your Chairman Zhou. Could you..."
Liu Tianming took out his membership card as he spoke.
"Hurry up and leave. Is a Gold Member worthy of meeting our Chairman?"
"What if it's a Supreme Member?"
