Chapter 315: The Auction That Shocked the Nation
"I've brought all the items here. If you like them, I'll give them to you first. But if you really don't want to keep them, just wait for the auction!"
"Then I'll stay. Good things like this are hard to find on the market now. I'll ask the finance department to transfer the money to you later."
"Then let's go back and prepare. Please take care of yourself. I'll wait for your letter."
Mr. Sun saw them out the door enthusiastically. Just as they got into the car, a text message came on their mobile phone.
"28 million received"
Mr. Sun was afraid that they would go back on their word, so the money arrived in his account as soon as they left the house.
Leng Yiyan didn't know the value of this money, but he guessed it should be quite a lot.
He couldn't help but sigh,
"There are a lot of these things in the treasury. If we had known earlier, we should have brought more."
"For now, let's sell what we brought. It won't be too late to go back and get it when we need it."
In the past few days, after several discussions, the two of them decided that it would be more appropriate to stick to her old business, which she was more familiar with, and open a pharmaceutical factory.
Although opening a pharmaceutical factory requires a relatively large investment, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is also a field they are familiar with, so they will not be too rushed in doing it.
One month later
An auction was held as scheduled.
Luo Nianxi took out all the items they brought, leaving only some silver bills and gold and silver.
Bai Lan counted them and found there were thirty-two in total.
This auction shocked the entire East City and the entire country.
All the big names in the antique world came in droves, hoping to buy their favorite items at this auction.
Even if I can't win, I want to use this rare opportunity to broaden my horizons. However, those who can enter this auction must pay a deposit of at least 10 million, so as to ensure that no one with ill intentions can sneak into the auction.
Chen Yang once begged Luo Nianxi to let his girlfriend Sun Xiaoxue come to the auction, but she refused.
No matter who you are, without a deposit of 10 million, don't even think about setting foot in the auction. This is the rule set by Mr. Sun, and it was also agreed by her.
Chen Yang was very angry about this, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening to these precious items, even reporters had to wait outside.
The security personnel for this auction were all hired from the top security companies in East City. They surrounded the entire auction site and made sure no one could get in or out.
The auction was hosted by Mr. Sun. No one present dared to make a loud noise. Everyone sat in their seats, waiting quietly for the auction to begin.
Elder Sun came to the stage, glanced at the audience, and spoke solemnly,
"Today's auction is a private one. After I take out the collection, I will give the lowest price. Everyone can bid in units of 100,000. The highest bidder will win. Before leaving the venue, the money corresponding to the auction items must be transferred to Ms. Luo Nianxi's bank card. If everyone has no objection, let's start now."
After saying this, he paused and the place fell into silence.
After he glanced at everyone, he continued:
"This lot is a pair of gold-inlaid red jade drop-bead earrings. The starting price is one million. Bidding begins now."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone made an offer directly.
"Two million..."
"three million……"
Mr. Sun glanced at everyone and saw that no one was raising the price, so he made the final decision.
No one wants to spend too much money on the first lot because they all know that the best and most expensive ones will be placed last.
"Today's second lot is a ruby hairpin. The starting price is five million..."
"Six million,"
"Seven million..."
The auction atmosphere was extremely intense, and the reporters waiting outside were also looking forward to it.
This unprecedented auction has undoubtedly become the biggest news in Dongcheng today.
Although the collections in this auction are very old, they are flawless and do not have the shabby feel of unearthed cultural relics.
These items give people the feeling that they are as clean as modern items, but they are actually objects from thousands of years ago, which is very rare.
In the end, thirty of the thirty-two items in the auction were sold, with Mr. Sun keeping two, and the final total transaction price was 230 million.
Looking at the sound of payment coming from the phone, Luo Nianxi's mouth curled up to the sky.
Although the husband she married had no house, no car, and no savings, he gave her endless possibilities, even wealth that she could not spend in three lifetimes.
In order to avoid being surrounded by reporters, they walked out of the auction house through the back door.
She got into her business car and smiled gently at Leng Yiyan.
"Hubby, let's go buy that pharmaceutical factory that we had our eyes on before, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. If we buy it at a low price, we can save the trouble of hiring workers and reorganizing it."
"Okay, everything is up to you."
After staying here for more than a month, he became more and more dependent on her.
Sometimes he felt that she was his support and that she was a woman who was more efficient than men.
Because of unsale of drugs and shortage of raw materials, the workers of that pharmaceutical factory have not received any wages for three months and the factory has stopped production for three days.
All the workers sat in the pharmaceutical factory, worrying and not knowing what to do.
Luo Nianxi brought people to the workshop, looked at the workers sitting on the ground with sad faces, and sighed helplessly.
The former factory manager clapped his hands and said:
"Everyone come here, let's have a meeting."
The workers glanced at the factory director and snorted in disdain.
Someone murmured,
"If you don't even give us money, who will listen to your meetings?"
"That's right, you always say the same shit, what's the point of saying it?"
'Just tell us when the money will be spent, that's more useful than just talking nonsense.'
"My family is struggling to make ends meet. We can't even pay our mortgage and car loans. If you don't pay us back, we'll put up banners and complain."
"..."
Listening to these people muttering, Luo Nianxi frowned, found a stool and stood on it, and shouted to everyone,
"Everyone, from now on this pharmaceutical factory will be called Luo and renamed Luo's Pharmaceuticals. I have already made an agreement with your chairman that he will pay off all the wages owed to you. Those of you who want to stay can continue to stay and ask me for your wages from now on. Those of you who don't want to stay can also leave, but it will be impossible for you to come back in the future. You should think carefully about this."
Hearing this, everyone present looked at the young woman in surprise, and were skeptical about what she said.
Luo Nianxi saw everyone's looks, her lips slightly curved, and she continued loudly:
"My name is Luo Nianxi, and I was originally the director of Bao'antang Hospital..."
Hearing this, everyone present stood up from the ground.
Some of them were not familiar with Baoantang Hospital, but a few days ago, her boyfriend gave her parents two birthday gifts worth billions, and they saw the auction that just took place yesterday with a total value of more than 200 million on TV.
Looking at this wealthy woman, everyone hesitated for a moment and then expressed their willingness to work with her.
Just when she was happily about to say the next word, the phone rang urgently. She signaled to everyone and picked up the phone.
Before she could speak, Chen Yang said breathlessly:
"Xiao Xi, it's bad, my aunt and uncle have been kidnapped..."
