After saying this, the host reached out and lifted the red cloth on the table.
Everyone’s eyes widened as they looked curiously at the items on the table.
At this moment, there was a fist-sized and completely black medicinal herb on the table.
This medicinal herb gave people the feeling that it was like a piece of charcoal. There was nothing magical about it at all.
“What is this?”
“Yeah, I’ve been in the medicinal herb business for so many years, but I’ve never seen this kind of medicinal herb before!”
“What is this thing?”
“Since even the people from the auction house do not know what this thing is, it is definitely impossible for us to see it with our naked eyes…”
When the medicinal herb merchants present saw this medicinal herb, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Connor knew nothing about herbs. If it wasn’t for the mission Jorge gave him, Connor wouldn’t have come to this place. Therefore, he was not very interested in this strange medicinal herb.
“The starting price of this medicinal herb is five million. If you are interested in this medicinal herb, you can try to bid!”
The emcee looked at the crowd with a smile and continued, “However, I have to add that because no one knows what this medicinal herb is, our auction house will not be responsible if this medicinal herb is auctioned off. Therefore, I hope that everyone will be careful!”
When the guests heard the host’s words, they were stunned on the spot. Their expressions were extremely shocked.
This was because they had never expected that the starting price of this strange medicinal herb would actually be five million.
No one would be so foolish as to spend five million to buy such a pitch-black herb.
Even if it was gambling, no one would gamble like this!
“Mr. McDonald, didn’t you want to buy a thousand year old wild ginseng?”
At this moment, Diana asked Connor softly.
When Connor heard Diana’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“Mr. McDonald, if I’m not mistaken, the medicinal herb on the table should be a thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Although it looks black on the outside, I think the real thousand-year-old wild ginseng should be hidden inside that black charcoal. Because this wild ginseng is too old, it has formed a black fossil around it…” Diana said slowly.
“Are you sure this is a thousand year old wild ginseng?”
Connor couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
“That’s right, I’m sure!”
Diana nodded.
“…”
Connor turned his head to look at Diana. He could tell that Diana was very serious when she spoke to him. It didn’t seem like she was joking with him.
The list Jorge gave Connor did indeed say that he wanted a thousand-year-old wild ginseng, so Connor was still very excited.
“Mr. McDonald, the price of a thousand-year-old wild ginseng is more than 50 million, and it’s something that can only be found by luck. These medicinal herb merchants probably don’t know what it is, so we can take advantage of it this time!”
Diana said happily to Connor.
“Alright, I understand…”
Connor looked at Diana and nodded lightly, then raised his hand and shouted, “I’ll pay five million!”
After everyone heard Connor’s words, they turned their heads to look at Connor’s position with shocked expressions on their faces.
Because they never dreamed that there would really be someone willing to pay so much money to buy this medicinal herb!
At this moment, in the eyes of these people, Connor was simply a fool with a lot of money.
Spending five million to buy such a black medicinal herb, this was simply a problem with his brain!
In an instant, the entire auction venue fell silent. It was as if no one wanted to compete with Connor at all.
Diana revealed a proud smile. If she could really spend five million to buy this thousand-year-old wild ginseng, it would be a good thing that fell from the sky!
When the host saw that no one spoke, he slowly shouted, “Five million, going once!”
“Eight million!”
At this moment, Ruby suddenly shouted.
When everyone heard Ruby’s words, they all turned their heads to look at Ruby’s position, their faces filled with shock.
“Ten million!”
Connor did not hesitate at all and directly increased the price.
Ruby glared at Connor with a furious expression.
She couldn’t help but curse in a low voice.” This bastard. He took advantage of me previously, and now he wants to snatch the medicinal herbs from me…”
In fact, Ruby had no idea what this herb was. However, she felt that since the auction house could start the bid at this price, it meant that this herb must have its value. Eight million was not a lot, so she was willing to take a gamble!
But now that Connor had offered 10 million, Ruby hesitated. She turned to the middle-aged man beside her and asked softly, “Uncle Cao, is there a need to raise the price?”
“Miss, this medicinal herb should not be an ordinary thing. If we can get it within 30 million, I think we can take a gamble!”
The middle-aged man beside Ruby replied in a low voice.
“Alright…”
Ruby nodded her head lightly, then shouted expressionlessly, “15 million!”
When the guests heard Ruby’s words, they were stunned. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
This was because they could not understand. This was clearly just an extremely ordinary medicinal herb, so why were Connor and Ruby offering such a high price?
If this medicinal herb was really just an ordinary piece of charcoal, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
Ruby herself was very rich, so even if it was a loss, no one would feel sorry for her.
However, these people did not know Connor, nor did they know what Connor did for a living. They could not understand why Connor would pay so much money.
That said, everyone could feel that Connor should not be an ordinary person. He had a beautiful woman like Diana by his side, and the fact that he could take out so much money meant that his background was definitely not simple.
When Connor heard Ruby’s bid of 15 million, he immediately raised it to 20 million!
At this moment, the way everyone looked at Connor changed again.
These people had never seen anyone bid like this before. He actually added five million in one go!
Ruby’s face was filled with rage. She gritted her teeth and raised the bid to 30 million!
In an instant, everyone present fell silent.
At this moment, these people had finally seen what a truly rich person was!
