Chapter 225: Go see the world [Task 10: Three days later, a -year-old wild ginseng will appear at the Magic City Rare Treasure Auction. You must bid for it and you will be rewarded with mission points.] [Description: Wild ginseng that is over 150 years old has excellent medicinal effects and is very rare. Please make sure to buy it.] Cheng Ming was surprised when he saw the content of this task. Wild ginseng? One hundred and fifty years old! ? Horror! Gotta get it! Even if there was no mission, Cheng Ming really wanted to get this ginseng. "Rare Treasures Auction?" Cheng Ming whispered to himself, "I wonder if there are any thresholds for this auction." Cheng Ming thought about it and decided to call his personal tool, Wen Yilin. "Sister Wen, there will be a rare treasure auction in Magic City in three days. Do you know anyone who knows about it? Can you help me get two tickets?" "The auction in the Magic City?" Wen Yilin on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned. She probably didn't expect her boss to have such a jumpy mind. Every time he asked her for help, there were always some kind of thing. Previously, he opened a herb garden to grow medicinal herbs, and this time he wanted to participate in an auction.
"I don't know anyone in the Demon City. Wait a minute, I'll ask." "Row." The main reason is that Cheng Ming doesn’t know anyone. Although he is now rich enough to rival a country, his network of connections is no different from when he was a loser. About twenty minutes later. Wen Yilin replied to Cheng Ming. "Boss, the auction is about to start, and the tickets seem to be sold out. But I asked some friends in the industry, and there is a manager at Yixing Pharmaceutical's Magic City branch who said he has tickets for this rare treasure auction. He has a few tickets. Can you contact him at Magic City?" "No problem, give me his contact information." hang up the phone. Wen Yilin quickly sent a person's prestigious business card. Cheng Ming applied for a friend, and the response was accepted almost instantly. After the friend was successfully added, the other party immediately sent a message to greet him. [Hello, Mr. Cheng. My name is Fang Donglai. You can just call me Xiao Fang. When will you come to Magic City? I will pick you up at the airport and give you the tickets for the auction.] Cheng Ming was stunned and asked subconsciously: [You typed so many words just after I added you? Is Mr. Fang a fast typer? ] Fang Donglai replied: [In fact, I have already typed it in the notepad on my phone. Once you add me on WeChat, I will send it to you immediately. A big shot like Mr. Cheng must be very busy. I will try my best to save you some time.] Cheng Ming was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Fang Donglai was a little too respectful to him. In fact, he is not an employee of Yinhai Pharmaceutical, so there is no need for him to care so much about Cheng Ming, and Cheng Ming has no control over him. Uh. Maybe that's not quite right. Given Yixing Pharmaceutical's dependence on Yinhai, even if Cheng Ming wants to interfere in Yixing's internal affairs, I believe their president will give him face. [Manager Fang, I’m sorry, when will the auction start in three days? ]
【Three o'clock in the afternoon.】 [Okay, I'll contact you when I get to Magic City in two days.] [Okay, Mr. Cheng.] The ticket issue is now settled. Cheng Ming thought about it and sent a WeChat message to Guan Jing as a report. [I will go to Magic City to attend an auction on the 19th. Do you want to go? ] Guan Jing also replied immediately: [Auction? What auction?] [A rare treasure auction, I guess there's all kinds of stuff for sale, just go and see for yourself. ] [Then I'll go too. I haven't seen what an auction is like yet. ] [Okay, I'll book the flight.] Actually me too. Cheng Ming said in his heart. Time quickly came to the 19th. At around 1:00 ., Cheng Ming and Guan Jing got off the plane. From a distance, he saw a young man in his twenties holding a sign that read "Mr. Cheng", which was very eye-catching. Because everyone else was standing, he was the only one who found a stool from somewhere, standing out from the crowd. Before Cheng Ming and Guan Jing came up to him, he came up to them, looking a little excited. "Director Cheng! Miss Guan!" "Are you Fang Donglai?" "It's me! Please follow me!" Following Fang Donglai, the two got into a black MPV. Fang Donglai was driving in the front, while Cheng Ming and Guan Jing were sitting in the back. He asked, "Director Cheng, the auction hasn't started yet, do you want to have a meal first?" Cheng Ming said: "If you haven't eaten yet, then eat. We both ate on the plane." "Then let's go directly to the auction venue? I've eaten there before, too." As Fang Donglai spoke, he began to navigate to the address of the auction. The Magic City is huge and traffic jams are common. It’s less than two hours until three o’clock. It takes more than an hour to drive from the airport. If you want to have a meal there, you may not have enough time. When Fang Donglai asked Cheng Ming that question just now, he was actually just asking politely.
Fortunately, there was not much traffic jam today. It was only 2:30 when they arrived at the venue gate, half an hour early. Fang Donglai asked: "Director Cheng, do you want to wait outside?" "No need, just go into the venue and wait." Cheng Ming said. So the three of them came to the gate of the venue. The organizer of this rare treasure auction was a trading company, and the venue was chosen to be an auditorium inside the company. There were several security guards holding real guns in front of the door, and it was obvious that the items at this auction were of high value. If the value is not high, there is no need to hire a security guard with a real gun, right? In addition, there are two beauties in cheongsam welcoming guests in front of the door. Although it was more than twenty minutes early, customers had already started to come in. The beauty took the three tickets from Fang Donglai, looked at them, and said to the three people, "Seats 65, 66, and 67 in the East District." Then the three of them walked into the auditorium. When we walked inside, we realized that their seats were quite far back. Number 60+ means the sixth row. Standing in the middle of the stage, you can’t even see the seats in the sixth row. You can only see them by walking slowly back. Looking forward, the view from the first and second rows was many times better than that from the sixth row. In front of the first row, there are several round tables with a sign next to them saying VIP seats. The three of them looked back and found their seats in the sixth row. But these rows of seats are a bit narrow compared to the VIP seats in the front. "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, I can only get tickets for the sixth row." Fang Donglai looked embarrassed. Cheng Ming waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I can see it anywhere, it makes no difference to me." So the three of them sat down. Soon, customers started to come in. After a while, the on-site voice broadcast sounded. 【Welcome Mr. Qin, a VIP customer of our auction house, to the venue! 】 As the words fell, a young man in a slim-fitting suit walked into the auditorium proudly. The young man was handsome, and although the suit he wore was slim-fitting, it was completely different from the slim-fitting suit worn by salesmen. The slim-fitting suit not only did not make him look thin, but instead, it was very decent, as if the brown-red suit was tailored exactly for his body. For a moment, the eyes of the customers who had arrived were all focused on the young man.
