In Myanmar more than half a century ago, people mined jadeite in a very primitive way. They used firewood to heat the rock, then poured cold water on it to loosen the stone structure, and then used hammers, drills and other tools to break it down.
Come on.
Since jade mines are generally located in mountains, it is difficult to transport larger materials down the mountain. Therefore, some materials that do not have the characteristics of jade are used as roadbed stones and buried on the spot.
This stone was like this. After it was mined, the elder of Hu Rong, who didn't know it was Hu Rong, saw that the stone was huge and did not have any ringworm or python patterns on its surface, so he treated it as a roadbed stone and buried it in the
At the entrance of the jade mine.
However, the jadeite mine was finally exhausted in recent years. When it came to its end, during the final cleanup process, the mine staff discovered that some rough stones that had not been much noticed actually contained quality.
Nice jadeite.
After Hu Rong got the news, he immediately organized people to carefully screen the jade mine, and this giant "rock" wool that had been buried underground finally came out.
However, Hu Rong did not have any hope that this stone could be used to unlock jadeite. At this time, the Burmese military asked the jadeite mine owners to provide rough stones to participate in the public sale, so Hu Rong simply handed over the material.
Moreover, Hu Rong used his status as a member of the organizing committee to prank this giant "rock" material and put a price of four million euros.
It wasn't Zhuang Rui who was scolding him in the past two days. Anyone who saw this piece of material was scolding the Myanmar organizing committee for being evil-hearted. However, no one thought that this was just a boring prank by a mine owner.
After hearing Hu Rong's explanation of this piece of material, Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that such a priceless piece of jadeite had been subjected to countless people every day for decades.
of trampling.
Hu Rong saw that after he introduced the material to Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui was sitting there looking stupid. He waved his hand in front of his eyes without disturbing him. He couldn't help but give Zhuang Rui a thumbs up and said: "Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui,
What's wrong? Are you stupid?"
"Ah? Uh... Brother Hu, it's okay, I was thinking... this piece of jade may create a miracle, a legend that can never be surpassed..."
Zhuang Rui was pushed by Hu Rong and came to his senses. With his relationship with Hu Rong, he was not afraid that his brother would intercept Hu halfway. Hu Rong was not that unscrupulous.
Besides, this is Hu Rong's material. Zhuang Rui can definitely pay a sky-high price. Apart from some fees levied by the Myanmar government, the money will still fall into Hu Rong's hands. This can be regarded as the money does not go to outsiders.
.
"Are you kidding me? Is that stone still a legend and a miracle? Well, if you have more money, just shoot it. Anyway, it will make money for me..."
Hu Rong was shocked by Zhuang Rui's expression. That piece of material could appear in the Myanmar National Jade Trading Center, but it was just his unintentional work. Even if he killed Hu Rong, he wouldn't believe it. Could there be jade in that thing?
"Haha, Brother Hu, believe it or not, it's up to you..."
Zhuang Rui didn't explain, and he couldn't explain the matter clearly. It happened that the time for bidding came, and Hu Rong also sat back behind the desk at the front desk.
Countless red numbers flashed on the big screen, and the originally noisy bidding hall immediately became silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the numbers that had begun to beat slowly.
This was not the first time that Zhuang Rui participated in an open-bid bidding, and he was very aware of the tricks involved. After finding a few pieces of wool that he had chosen, he lit a cigarette and started smoking leisurely.
Zhuang Rui's performance made all the bidders look at him sideways. It was not that he was criticizing Zhuang Rui for his lack of public welfare. The point was that everyone in the audience was paying attention to the mark of their favorite rough stone and did not dare to relax at all.
Suddenly, such a strange person appeared and came to smoke, which made everyone wonder. Could it be that the air-conditioning in the hall is sufficient and he came here specifically to cool down?
"This guy is interesting..."
"What do you know? That's Teacher Zhuang. This is called being confident..."
"Yeah, you look like a master at first glance, just learn a little bit..."
Zhuang Rui didn't expect that his relaxing cigarette would attract so many people's comments, so he put out his cigarette in embarrassment.
There is no need to rush when it comes to open-bid bidding. The outcome is determined by those few minutes. As long as you have the lowest price in mind, it doesn't matter whether you pay attention or not.
The current Zhuang Rui is far from what he could be compared to two years ago in terms of character and knowledge. Although the piece of wool that can be called the King of Jade is among them, Zhuang Rui can also control his emotions very well.
Zhuang Rui was not the only understanding person in the hall. Many people started chatting with the people next to them after staring at the screen for a while. Otherwise, these two hours would not have been so easy to spend.
"Teacher Zhuang, you must win. I beat you to win..."
"Yes, Teacher Zhuang, the first time I bet on stones was when I saw you interpreting stones. You are my idol..."
Zhuang Rui was naturally the object of everyone's attention, especially after the incident in the gambling game, which attracted even more attention. People around him started to get close to Zhuang Rui.
"Yes, yes, let me tell you guys, this guy is just lucky. Don't say that. The key to stone gambling is communication. Let's go to Jieshi District to communicate when we have the opportunity..."
Although Zhuang Rui was not thin-skinned, he was blushing as everyone said, "Brother, he is a powerful person in the stone betting circle. How can he deal with such a bunch of idol fans?"
"Okay, Teacher Zhuang, after the winning bid is completed, let's go to Jieshi District together..."
"Yes, let's all go cheer for Teacher Zhuang..."
"This... maybe Mr. Tang wins..."
"How can it be possible? You have never seen Mr. Zhuang bet on stones..."
With Zhuang Rui's chat, the entire No. 2 Bidding Hall where he was almost turned into a vegetable market, almost preventing the old and new generations of "Emerald King" fans from fighting each other.
The bidding halls nearby were all confused. Could it be that there was some sky-high bidder that made them so excited? They all stretched their necks to observe the bids on the screen, but nothing unusual was found.
Amidst the commotion, time passed very quickly. When there were ten minutes left before the bidding deadline, everyone seemed to have timed it, and the bidding hall immediately became silent.
Zhuang Rui purchased a total of twelve pieces of material this time. Except for the "rock" wool, the rest were almost all ice-type wool, and only two pieces reached high ice-type.
Zhuang Rui, who originally had an indifferent attitude, became more generous with his actions after he gained confidence. Anyway, even if he spent more money on relatively ordinary materials, he could still make up for it with this imperial green jade king.
The eleven pieces of material cost Zhuang Rui 16 million euros in total. As for how many pieces he could win, Zhuang Rui no longer cared about it. At this time, his eyes were fixed on the bottom of the bid numbered 23356.
Zhuang Rui saw that the mark was still red. If someone bid, the color would be changed to green. He was secretly happy: "No one has bid so far. It seems that no one is optimistic about this piece of material..."
Zhuang Rui also didn't want to think about it. Although jade is now popular and the market is hot, no one's money comes from the strong wind. Only a fool would throw money at a rough stone that doesn't seem to have any jade characteristics.
"How much should I throw?"
Zhuang Rui rubbed his fingers on the bidder. In addition to the 16 million euros just now, Zhuang Rui also had 110 million euros, which he had withdrawn from his father-in-law yesterday.
The timer on the big screen was beating second by second, and it came to the last minute of bidding deadline. Zhuang Rui saw that there was still no change in the bid, and then he moved his fingers and entered a number on the bidder.
When the countdown timer jumped to five seconds, Zhuang Rui pressed the confirm button. At the same time, countless numbers on the screen began to jump. Even with Zhuang Rui's eyesight, he could not see clearly the number 2356.
The final winning bid amount.
"It shouldn't be snatched away!"
At this time, Zhuang Rui was also a little nervous. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, the last number Zhuang Rui entered was 10.5 million euros.
Zhuang Rui believed that at this price, he would definitely win the bid, but before the final result came out, Zhuang Rui was a little worried about the gains and losses. As for the remaining bids, he had long forgotten about them.
"It's out, the result is out..."
"Wow, which rough stone is numbered 23356? Someone actually invested 10.5 million euros!"
"10.5 million euros is today's top bid. Let's see who wins?"
"It depends on who wins. Go to the marked area and look at this piece of material first..."
"Are you stupid? The bidding will be opened in a clear way. The open marking area has been sealed off and under martial law for a long time. Can you see it?"
After the big screen flashed dizzyingly for three or four minutes, the dust finally settled, and today's highest single bet price calculated by the computer was also displayed on the big screen.
Seeing the dazzling red numbers, Zhuang Rui let out a long breath and put back the pounding heart in his throat.
The procedure for completing the procedures after winning the bid has been introduced before. The order is based on the winning bid price, so as today's bidder, Zhuang Rui can be the first to go through the procedures for winning the bid.
After payment is made, Zhuang Rui can choose to pick up the goods on site or consign them, and the staff will help the customer handle all of this.
"Zhuang Rui, is it really you? That bid...was your vote?"
Just as Zhuang Rui was about to turn around and go to the door to go through the formalities, Hu Rong's voice rang out from behind him. It didn't matter if he shouted it out, the eyes of the entire bidding hall were focused on him.
