"Today's eighth lot is an ice jadeite with floating flowers. It weighs 39.88 kilograms. The starting price is 5 million yuan. The minimum increase is 100,000 yuan each time. Friends, please bid..."
The auction is still going on. Starting from the third piece of ice material, the bidding price is over 13 million. The seventh piece of jade was just sold, even reaching 15.8 million. These people in the audience
The jade bosses' emotions were all aroused, and Zhuang Rui and others naturally saw it and were happy in their hearts.
"Thirteen million..."
"Thirteen million and eight hundred thousand..."
"I will pay 16.5 million..."
The jade bosses present all knew that it was almost impossible to get these jadeite jadeite at a low price, so the bidding at the beginning became fierce. However, the somewhat jerky bidding at the end still attracted everyone.
I was shocked, and after I made three bids, the price was mentioned to be more than 16 million, which attracted everyone in the venue to follow the news.
"Why is he a foreigner?"
To everyone's surprise, the person bidding was actually a white foreigner with a high nose and blue eyes. It was difficult to tell his age from his appearance. He was also dressed in ordinary clothes. His jeans had several holes at the knees.
At this time, the foreigner was looking at everyone with an innocent face, and he was a little puzzled by the slightly hostile eyes. He was also puzzled at this moment. No one stipulated that foreigners could not bid.
"Is it so hard that I can't bid?"
The foreigner finally couldn't resist the looks from all directions. He stood up and asked loudly to the host on the stage. Although his Chinese was not very authentic, everyone understood the meaning of his words clearly.
The temporary guest auctioneer on the stage was also a little at a loss. This jade bidding fair was given an international name. Foreign friends should not be prohibited from participating in the auction, right?
"Sir, of course, your bid is allowed. Please sit down..."
After communicating with the people behind him, the host gave the answer. Although the bosses in the venue were a little dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do about it. The highest bidder wins. This has always been an unbreakable truth in the auction house.
"Don't let the foreign devils take the jade away..."
"That's right, everyone bids. With so many people, they can't rob a foreign devil. It would be embarrassing to tell people..."
Various discussions arose at the auction site, but they were all loud and clear. They just talked but didn’t practice. After waiting for a full three minutes, maybe because he couldn’t stand it anymore, Boss Han shouted out a price: “One price.”
Seventeen million..."
"Seventeen and a half million..."
The foreigner then added another five hundred thousand, and now even Boss Han was silent. He was here to do business, not to be angry with the foreigner. By the way, he had already photographed two pieces of jadeite material, right?
For the few remaining pieces of material, my heart is no longer craving for them.
In fact, there are not a few people in the market who have the ability to shout out high prices, but they all make a common mistake. They have a kind of luck mentality, that is, they think that there are seven or eight yuan of wool left, and maybe they can buy it cheaper.
But he forgot the lesson he learned just now when Wei Zijiang took away two pieces of material at the lowest price.
"Where have I seen this person before?" Song Jun, who was sitting next to Zhuang Rui, frowned.
"By the way, I remembered. I met this man in Myanmar, and Lao Han and the others should all know him too." Song Jun said to himself.
"Brother Song, what is the origin of this foreigner?"
Zhuang Rui doesn't really care who gets the jade as long as he pays for it. Jade is not China's national treasure. Whoever wants to fight for it will just raise the price. Maybe he will earn foreign exchange, but for this only person in the market,
As a foreigner, Zhuang Rui was full of curiosity about his origins.
"Haha, this foreigner is from England, his name is Christie. He is very famous in Myanmar. Even though he is not dressed well, he is a serious billionaire..."
Song Jun seemed to have heard about this man's origins from elsewhere, but if it were true, this British man named Christie was really a legend.
As we all know, Myanmar is the source of the rise of stone gambling. Because of this, many people with dreams of getting rich are trying every means to take risks in Myanmar. Most of them have hundreds of thousands or millions in their pockets, hoping to make a fortune.
A person who gets rich overnight.
However, gambling on stones is inherently accompanied by benefits and risks. Some treasure appraisers who claim to be experts spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to buy "jades" that are likely to be ordinary stones.
These are the people, but there are also those who are lucky enough to sell the extracted stones for sky-high prices, but the chance of this is often less than one percent.
Christie was originally just a small British jeweler. After arriving in Myanmar, he also bet on raw materials several times, but his bets failed. Later, he changed his strategy and only bought the raw material of jadeite.
Christie searched for information everywhere in Myanmar. As long as he knew who had cut pure and high-grade jadeite material, he would rush to negotiate with them as soon as possible.
The psychology of stone gamblers in Myanmar is different from that in China. People who gamble there will be eager to make a move as long as they are given cash, and Christie can always meet their demands.
Since most of the jadeite he bought was plain material, the price itself was very expensive, and what he gained was not double the profit. However, Christie won the price difference after changing hands again and again, and in a few years, he became a billionaire. This matter
It has become a favorite story in Myanmar.
At this time, someone in the venue also recognized Christie, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, but no one made any more offers. After the host waited for a while, he dropped the hammer and priced the eighth piece of wool for 17.5 million by Christie.
Photographed and taken away.
However, in the subsequent auctions, these lucky jade bosses tasted the bitter pill of waiting and watching. In the subsequent eight auctions of ice-based materials, none of them was lower than Christie's price.
A friend said, I don’t have to buy it if it’s too expensive. But if I don’t buy it now, if I buy it in the future, the price will only be higher. The Pingzhou Jade Bidding Fair can almost be said to be the weather vane of domestic jade prices. Today, everything is
The auction price actually sets a position for the price of domestic jade raw materials.
The popularity of the auction not only exceeded the expectations of many jade owners, but also Zhuang Rui and others could not have predicted it. Starting from the third piece of jadeite, the price went up all the way.
Starting from the twelfth piece of wool, the unit price exceeded 20 million. When it came to the last two pieces of ice material, they sold for astronomical prices of 22.8 million and 24.5 million respectively.
Come.
"The last item to be auctioned today is oil-clear jadeite with floating flowers. The starting price is 500,000 yuan..."
What is being auctioned now are the last two pieces of oil-seed wool. Since the two pieces add up to only more than ten kilograms, and their textures are almost the same, they are merged and auctioned together.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand..."
"Six hundred thousand……"
"Six hundred and eighty thousand..."
Perhaps stimulated by the price of the ice seed material in the past, this piece of oil and clear seed material with average quality has also been snapped up by everyone, and the price has been rising steadily.
"Old... youngest, this is incredible. Do you know how much these sixteen pieces of ice jadeite were sold for?"
At this time, the auction has come to an end. While Zhuang Rui was chatting quietly with Song Jun, Weiwei was holding his mobile phone and using the calculator on it to calculate the total price of the jadeite, with a look of disbelief on his face.
expression.
"How much? More than 100 million, right?" Zhuang Rui asked casually.
"Not counting the one we are taking now, there are already 204.8 million. Youngest boy, you can make a fortune now..." Wei Wei was as excited as if the money belonged to him, and turned the number on his phone
Get in front of Zhuang Rui's eyes.
"Damn, are there really so many?"
Zhuang Rui was also shocked by this number. He calculated it at the beginning, but later he was too lazy to do it. He didn't expect that with just sixteen pieces of material, it had already exceeded 200 million. If you include the payment
The two pieces Qin Xuanbing left behind, aren't they...
Zhuang Rui didn't dare to think about it anymore. When the auction started, he also had some thoughts in his heart, but the situation was not clear at that time, and now that the auction is about to end, the money will really belong to him soon.
Although, I can only get one-third of it.
"Snapped!"
There was a hammer sound from the stage.
"Congratulations to this gentleman, the last lot, oil-clear jadeite with fluttering flowers, priced at 1.12 million, belongs to you. Everyone, today's auction has ended, and none of the seventeen lots sold first. Thank you friends for your support.
,thank you all……"
With the closing words of the host on the stage, the auction was concluded successfully. Of course, the word "successful" can only describe Song Jun and other jade holders. Those who took the pictures of the jade all had tense faces.
There was no trace of joy.
The people who took the jadeite were unwilling to accept it, and the boss who didn't take the picture was also unwilling to do so. Maybe in addition to Zhuang Rui and others, Grandpa Lei Lei and the others made money. If they were willing to take action on the two pieces of jadeite, let alone others.
, you can earn around 20 million in no time. This is the importance of vision and experience.
"Zhuang Rui, don't turn off the phone. Someone will be looking for you soon."
After Lei Lei made a phone call gesture to Zhuang Rui, she also left with everyone. Now the only ones left are Song Jun and Zhuang Rui and several other parties involved, while Fatty Ma was talking to people from the organizing committee.
Skillfully distributed the thick red envelopes in his hands to several staff members. Zhuang Rui saw that Fatty Ma stuffed double red envelopes into the pockets of the host who almost screamed that his voice was smoking.
These red envelopes were prepared last night. Each one contains 10,000 yuan. According to Fatty Ma, these are called red envelopes. They are like winnings from slot machines in Macau casinos. They are all given to work.
