Chapter 526 — The Same Auction Item
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"It's not that we don't believe you..." Yu Shuixing smiled wryly. "It's that we're stunned!"
"Oh, is that so." Lai Changshan assumed they were stunned by the efficacy of the deluxe edition of the trauma medicine, never guessing it was something else entirely. "Twenty bottles in all, reserve price five hundred thousand, shall we say? As for the rest, Mr. Yu, you decide how to handle it."
"Twenty bottles? You have stock on hand?" Yu Haitian's eyes went even wider.
"...Yes..." Lai Changshan nearly swore aloud. If I had no stock, what would I be doing talking to you about it? But out of deference to the other man's standing, he refrained from doing anything out of line.
"Second Uncle... what do you think?" Yu Haitian looked at Yu Shuixing, somewhat at a loss.
"Heh heh, then let's make it the grand finale of tomorrow night's auction!" Yu Shuixing laughed. "I'd wager there'll be a buying frenzy. Five hundred thousand is a bit too cheap — make it a million."
"Understood!" Seeing that his second uncle had made the decision, Yu Haitian said nothing further.
The price of a million did not surprise Lai Changshan; in his view, the more expensive the better. He set the suitcase on the table and said, "The deluxe edition of the trauma medicine is all here. Mr. Yu, please inspect it. As for the introduction, that's been written up as well and placed inside."
Yu Haitian opened the suitcase and could not help but freeze. This was the deluxe edition of the trauma medicine? These shabby little white plastic bottles — they looked about the same as seasoning jars.
"This... this is the deluxe edition?" Yu Haitian could not help asking.
"Heh heh, it was prepared on short notice — no packaging." Lai Changshan smiled.
"..." Yu Haitian was rather speechless, though he trusted that Lai Changshan would not peddle junk to cheat him; the stuff should still be effective. At that thought, he nodded and said, "Very well. I'll go register it in a moment."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Lai Changshan, Guan Xuewen, Lai Changshan, and Wei Zhao at last left the auction hall. A man like Guan Xuewen was naturally one Yu Shuixing would spare no effort to court.
And what Doctor Guan's Pharmaceuticals brought out was never anything ordinary!
After seeing Guan Xuewen off, Yu Shuixing felt somewhat amused. Divine Doctor Kang had brought a beauty-and-skin-nourishing golden wound medicine, hoping to use it as a bargaining chip to enter the ranks of the great houses! At any other time that might have sufficed, but as it happened, Guan Xuewen had brought out an identical product! And he had stock on hand!
If Divine Doctor Kang ever learned of it, he would probably weep tears without end, would he not? He had meant to use it to cultivate connections, yet others had already turned theirs into a product for sale — so who would buy his pre-sale item now?
"Second Uncle, today's situation is complicated enough!" Yu Haitian sighed.
"Heh heh, actually it's not so complicated. It's just that the Kang family is unlikely to become a great house now," Yu Shuixing said. "The Kang family's trump card is probably nothing much in the eyes of Doctor Guan!"
"True. Then tonight, will those two pre-sale items of the Kang family's beauty-and-skin-nourishing golden wound medicine still go up for auction?" Yu Haitian asked.
"Auction them? Of course we'll auction them!" Yu Shuixing laughed. "What difference does it make? We simply won't buy them ourselves. As for anyone else, whoever wants to buy can buy."
"That's true enough. Our auction house is only helping them auction, after all; whether anyone buys is not our responsibility." Yu Haitian nodded.
That evening, the second auction began.
Feng Xiaoxiao had called Wei Zhao first thing in the morning, but Wei Zhao had no time for her. He only asked whether Feng Tianlong had returned; learning that he had not, he turned down her suggestion to come looking for him.
