Chapter 1747
Upon hearing that Ye Chen was going to auction the Rejuvenation Pill, everyone present gasped in shock.
Chen Zekai said subconsciously, "Master Ye, the Rejuvenation Pill you auctioned at the Song family last time sold for a high price of 2 billion, and that time you were doing it on the spur of the moment. Those truly wealthy people outside didn't know at all, which is why Li Tailai was able to buy it for 2 billion..."
As he spoke, Chen Zekai added, "If we hold a proper auction this time, do the publicity work in advance, and attract more top wealthy people, then even 5 billion would be no problem!"
Qin Gang on the side also said, "That's right, Master Ye! Your Rejuvenation Pill has long been famous in the circle of wealthy people in the south. Ever since Li Tailai took that Rejuvenation Pill, he has become nearly twenty years younger. A person in his fifties looks like he's in his thirties, full of vigor! People even say that he hasn't been idle with women during this time; he has touched seven or eight female celebrities alone... Now, I don't know how many wealthy people dream of having a Rejuvenation Pill! If this news spreads, I guess all the rich people in the country will run to Jin Ling!"
Ye Chen said indifferently, "That's the effect I want. Many people think Jin Ling is not presentable, so I will make this group of top wealthy people rush to Jin Ling! Many people are now thinking of drawing a line with the Ye family, so I will make them bite the bullet and enter Bai Jinhangong to participate in this auction!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "For this auction, there will be three core lots. The finale will be one Rejuvenation Pill, followed by one Rejuvenation Pill divided into four parts, each auctioned separately, and then three amulets. As for the rest, let Wanting choose some collections from Jiqing Hall to support the scene."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenggang said with great regret, "Oh my... last time at the Song family's auction, I didn't have the strength to compete with President Li. For this auction, I think even if I smash the pots and sell the iron, it's impossible for me to buy a Rejuvenation Pill..."
As he spoke, he hurriedly asked Ye Chen, "Master Ye, what are the effects of the amulets you refine? If it's suitable, I will try my best to buy one at the auction even if I have to spend my family fortune!"
Ye Chen laughed, "Amulets are nothing more than warding off evil and avoiding disasters, changing feng shui and luck. They certainly can't be like the Rejuvenation Pill, which can prolong life."
Wang Zhenggang slapped his thigh, "Being able to ward off evil and avoid disasters, and also change feng shui and luck, if I buy one and wear it every day, maybe my business will become more and more prosperous! I will definitely find a way to buy one then!"
Ye Chen waved his hand, "Holding an auction is to earn money from outsiders, so you don't need to participate. Amulets are simple; I'll make a few more and give you one each. As for the Rejuvenation Pill, you don't need to spend a sky-high price to bid. If the timing is right, I will give you some."
Upon hearing this, Qin Gang and Wang Zhenggang were both extremely grateful.
Both of them were fortunate enough to have received the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill from Ye Chen, and the effect had already benefited them infinitely. The two were even more looking forward to the Rejuvenation Pill.
However, they also knew their actual situation. Both families were barely at the level of a 10-billion-level family in Jin Ling, and most of their funds were tied up in various real estate and companies. If they really wanted to take out billions in cash to buy the Rejuvenation Pill, they simply didn't have the strength.
Now, although Ye Chen didn't say for sure that he would give it to them, since Ye Chen had made this statement, it proved that there was a great chance.
So they both knew very well that in the future, they only needed to perform well in front of Ye Chen and do their best for Ye Chen, and Ye Chen would definitely not treat them badly.
At this time, Chen Zekai asked hurriedly, "Young Master, when do you want to start this auction?"
Ye Chen asked him, "How long will the preliminary publicity preparation take?"
Chen Zekai said, "For large auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's, it generally takes at least half a year to prepare for a large auction. They usually hold two large auctions a year. During these six months, at least four months are spent preparing various lots. It's like a talent show; they have to screen several rounds before they can select the lots that will finally appear at the auction."
After a pause, Chen Zekai added, "In addition, even if all the lots are confirmed, it will take at least two months of preparation time because they need a long time to pave the way with publicity, print auction manuals, and send them to all customers. Key customers need to have customer representatives introduce them in person so that the other party knows what good things are in this auction and what collection value these things have."
Ye Chen waved his hand, "Half a year is too long. Let's speed up the rhythm this time. It's early April now, so let's set the auction for late April. This time, we will use word-of-mouth and promote it only among the elite class of this high society."
As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "For this auction, the number of people participating on-site will be limited to a maximum of two hundred, not one more!"
"Also, don't have any phone-entrusted bidding. Everyone who wants to participate in this auction must come to Jin Ling for me! Everyone must sit in the banquet hall of Bai Jinhangong Hotel and raise their paddles to bid in person!"
"And, no matter who finally buys this Rejuvenation Pill, they must take it on the spot in public and are never allowed to take it away!"
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this. Qin Gang asked in confusion, "Master Ye, why must it be taken in public and not allowed to be taken away? This doesn't seem very humane..."
Ye Chen laughed, "Of course, this kind of thing can't be humane. It's hard for ordinary people to buy a bottle of affordable Moutai, let alone my Rejuvenation Pill?"
As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "It must be taken in public, which can ensure that any wealthy person who wants the Rejuvenation Pill must come in person. Even if some queen in Europe wants it, she must come to Jin Ling to participate in the auction! Besides, it can also ensure the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill is witnessed by the other 199 people!"
Ye Chen paused slightly and raised his eyebrows, asking, "Think about it, there will be a wealthy person who will buy the first quarter of the Rejuvenation Pill first. Once he takes it on the spot, how crazy will the remaining 199 people be for the subsequent three parts of the Rejuvenation Pill, as well as the whole Rejuvenation Pill?"
Hearing Ye Chen's explanation, the others seemed to have already seen the crazy slaughter at the auction.
After all, for those super-wealthy people who are so poor that they only have money left, the Rejuvenation Pill, which can return to youth, prolong life, and dispel illness, is definitely the most crazy item for them in this world.
By then, the price of the Rejuvenation Pill will easily be pushed to the clouds!
Chen Zekai was very excited and blurted out, "Master Ye, as long as this auction is successfully held, then after the auction, the reputation of the Rejuvenation Pill will definitely be world-famous!"
Ye Chen nodded and laughed, "That's what I want! I want to make it world-famous! As long as this auction meets my expectations, this auction can be held continuously in the future! In the future, I may take out one or two or even three or four Rejuvenation Pills for auction every year. By then, I want to make this small Jin Ling a holy land that global wealthy people flock to and worship!"
