There were already a lot of people sitting in the auction hall. When Li Yang and others arrived, there were basically no seats in the front row, so they had to sit at the back.
Shao Yuqiang came in later than Li Yang and the others, but he walked directly to the front. Someone immediately made room for him in the front row. Li Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Young masters from big families are good, what can you do?"
There are people serving them.
"Consultant Li, are you also here to participate in the open-bid auction?"
Suddenly, a voice of surprise came from behind Li Yang. The An Wenjun sisters arrived here at some unknown time, and with them was An's stone gambling consultant Gao Lao.
It was not An Wenjun who spoke to Li Yang, but An Wenping. She came late in the afternoon, and when she tried to look for Li Yang again, she could not find him, so she stayed with her sister.
"I was bored in the afternoon, so I came over to take a look!"
Li Yang nodded slightly. People in jewelry companies value hidden-marked gemstones the most, followed by open-marked gemstones. However, many good jadeite appear in every open-marked gemstone session, and these jewelry companies don't care about open-labeled gemstones.
Disdain, every day the famous gambling stones to be auctioned will be sent to have a careful look at the gambling stones.
"Consultant Li, you haven't reserved a seat yet. Do you want to come to the front with us?"
An Wenjun suddenly said something. Li Yang hesitated for a moment and then looked back. Sima Lin and others were behind him.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yang still shook his head: "No, I'd better stay with my friends!"
"Well, I hope Consultant Li can come up with some good jadeite from gambling!"
An Wenjun shook his head helplessly. Li Yang's appearance in the Mingbiao area gave An Wenjun a bad feeling. She knew Li Yang's abilities very well. With Li Yang here, An's family wanted to get the best today.
It may be difficult to harvest.
An Wenjun took Mr. Gao and the others to the front, and there were people in the first row occupying seats for them, while An Wenping stayed behind with Li Yang, which made Wu Xiaoli very dissatisfied.
Not long after I sat down, a young man came in from the door. Behind this young man were four burly men. At first glance, I knew he was a kid from a wealthy family who came out with a baby.
The young man actually walked towards the first row. When he got there, someone immediately offered his seat to him. The four bodyguards didn't even bother to go over. They were standing in the aisle aside, ready to respond at any time.
Li Yang looked carefully at the entire auction hall. The hall was not small. There seemed to be six or seven hundred seats. There was a large display screen on the rostrum in front of him. The display screen was turned off at this time.
After Li Yang and the others sat down, people kept coming in from behind, and soon the entire hall was filled, and everyone who came later stood inside, which surprised Li Yang.
"Brother Sima, you said that many people don't like public auctions, so why do so many people come here?" Li Yang quietly leaned over and asked Sima Lin.
"Brother Li, just because people come here doesn't necessarily mean they will be able to auction. Besides, players don't pay attention to open-mark auctions, but those jewelry companies do. Almost large-scale jewelry companies will participate in open-mark auctions. They don't come alone.
You have to bring some people to participate, as only half of the people who show up here will actually participate in the auction!"
Sima Lin explained in a low voice. Li Yang nodded with a look of surprise on his face. Just like Liu Gang and Wu Xiaoli who were following him, some people just came to join in the fun.
Even Sima Lin and the others may not necessarily participate in the auction. They came in purely because of Li Yang. Without Li Yang, they would definitely not come.
"Crack!"
There was a sudden sound on the rostrum, and the huge display screen lit up at the same time, revealing the words of the 9th Jade Bidding Fair, but no one appeared on the rostrum.
As soon as the display screen lit up, everyone around them immediately took out the calculator-like bidder, held it in their hands, and stared straight at the display screen. Some people were still looking around curiously.
Nothing was done.
"Brother Li, this is yours!"
Sima Lin on the side also hurriedly handed over the bidders he had just received after paying the deposit to everyone. Even Wu Xiaoli and Liu Gang had one in their hands. The two looked around in confusion.
"After a while, the number and price will be displayed on the rostrum. If you have chosen a gambling stone before, you can use the bidder to increase the price on the original price. Wait half an hour to see who has the highest price for the gambling stone with that number.
Who will it become?"
Sima Lin patiently explained to Li Yang that Sima Lin had only participated once, but he still knew some of the rules, unlike Li Yang who didn't know anything when he came here for the first time.
"Brother Li, if you have a gambling stone that you like, don't rush to bid. Wait until the end before bidding. If you act too hastily, the gambling stone may be attracted by others. If it attracts the attention of others, you will be interested in it by then.
If you gamble on the stone, it might not be yours!"
An Wenping added another sentence on the side, and Li Yang nodded seriously. At this time, he finally had a certain understanding of the situation of this open-bid auction.
The open-mark auction is different from the conventional auctions he has seen. In conventional auctions, the auction items are auctioned one by one, and after one item is auctioned, the next one is auctioned. In the open-mark auction, the auction items are put together together.
, everything is up to you to bid, and whoever bids the highest price within the specified time will win.
In this way, it also explained a big doubt that Li Yang had before.
In the past, Li Yang had been thinking about how it was possible to auction out a thousand pieces of stone gambling materials in an open-bid auction that lasted only half an hour. Now looking at it, with this kind of auction, let alone a thousand yuan, it is ten thousand yuan.
It can also be photographed, provided that there are so many people buying it and there must be enough display screens to announce the price.
"here we go!"
Sima Lin suddenly lowered his head and said something. Li Yang looked up. Numbers from 1 to 200 appeared on the display screen. There were different numbers behind each number, some were four digits, some were five digits, and some were six digits.
And seven-digit numbers, basically no numbers are the same.
Most of these numbers are five-digit and six-digit, there are only four seven-digit numbers, and there are even fewer four-digit numbers, only three. The four-digit numbers represent units of one thousand yuan, and only a few thousand yuan are available at public auctions.
Gambling stones are very rare. Similarly, seven digits represent millions. Even if the price of gambling stones is one million, it is not too much.
After Sima Lin and An Wenping's explanation, Li Yang was not so anxious now. What he was interested in was the large ice jade numbered 605. This was the jade he was bound to get. It didn't matter if he let the others go.
The display screen changed every minute, and after changing it five times, the prices of all the gambling stones with numbers were displayed.
Li Yang realized that the asking price of the gambling stone numbered 605 was only 150,000. The bristle ringworm on the gambling stone had indeed deceived many people. Even the owner of the gambling stone did not feel that it was a particularly good piece of wool.
The asking price was not high, and it was all made of raw materials. This kind of gambling stone should not attract too many people's attention, which made Li Yang feel a little relieved.
Soon, the numbers behind the numbers on the screen began to change. Someone had already placed a bid on the favorite gambling stone. It was less than ten minutes before the auction started. Li Yang looked up and looked around, but did not find who clicked the button.
The bidder.
There were many people observing the same thing as Li Yang. After not discovering who was bidding, some people turned back to pay attention to the big screen. The coding order on the big screen had changed. The big screen now only displays the two latest bids.
Among the hundreds of pieces of wool, the top one at this time was the stone wool with the number 366. Li Yang remembered that this piece of wool was the half-stone wool with ice seeds cut out of it.
The asking price for the stone gambling material numbered 366 was 2.8 million, but the price displayed at this time was 2.81 million. Only one person increased the price.
"Shao Yuqiang, what materials have you chosen this time? Do you dare to tell me?"
Suddenly a young man in the front row laughed, and then said something loudly, and everyone in the auction hall immediately focused their attention on the front row.
"Sundara, even if I tell you, can you compete with me?"
Shao Yuqiang's voice sounded faintly, and Li Yang noticed at this time that the first person to speak was the young man who came in with four bodyguards. From the young man's tone, it seemed that he had nothing to do with Shao Yuqiang.
Moreover, this young man's name seems a bit strange, Sandara, it looks like a foreign name.
"It doesn't matter whether you can win or not. I heard that after you returned to China, you lost to one person continuously. That person seems to be younger than you. His name is Li Yang, right?"
The young man in the front row chuckled and continued talking to Shao Yuqiang. Li Yang raised his head and looked into the distance in shock. This man actually dragged him into it. Li Yang remembered that he had never seen this man before.
"snort!"
Shao Yuqiang snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore the young man. The young man laughed to himself. Unfortunately, Li Yang sat far away and could not see the young man's expression.
In this moment, the prices on the screen have changed again. More than a dozen gambling stones have been bid, and the top one is no longer the gambling stone wool numbered 366.
The display screen changed again, and the first thing that appeared was the gambling stone number 605 that Li Yang was interested in. This made Li Yang startled, and he looked around hurriedly to see who was also interested in this stone like him.
A piece of gambling stone wool.
After looking around, Li Yang couldn't find anything. He had no choice but to sit down again. Fortunately, 605 had been squeezed down by other numbered gambling stones and was not coming up.
Looking at the big screen that was changing faster and faster, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Li Yang's mind, and he hurriedly came to Sima Lin's side.
"Brother Sima, do you have a pen and paper? I will give each of you a few numbers. You will bid on several numbers in a while. As long as they do not exceed the minimum price I gave you, we will take them down!"
Since the results of the auction will be announced at the end, there is no need for Li Yang to keep watching now. Li Yang knows that more than 20 yuan of materials will rise sharply. Many of these woolen materials will definitely be high-priced in the end, but this does not matter.
What Li Yang wants is to create competition and not let people focus on his ultimate goal.
