1498. Chapter 1498 If you don't leave me, you won't abandon me 106
***
Zhou Jieying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yang Zimei's jade carving couldn't compare with her at all.
Although I couldn't beat Yang Zimei this time, at least I didn't lose!
"Everyone with eyes can see who is winning this game!"
The dealer took the opportunity to shout.
"Wait a minute!"
Yang Zimei said coldly, "Our competition in this game is not about whose knife skills are better, but about whose jade carvings fetch a higher price! No one can say who will win before the price is set!"
"
"Haha, do you think a rough carving like yours can still be fetched at auction? Unless someone is blind!"
Zhou Jieying sneered.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Yang Zimei smiled and said, "Although my carving skills are not very good, it does not mean that it is not a good thing."
"Then I want to see how good your broken Buddha statue is!"
Zhou Jieying said disdainfully.
The bidding for the items in the third stage begins, and the auction method can be freely used. However, cheating by someone familiar with the auction is not allowed.
Zhou Jieying first held up her jade carving, showed it around the venue, and then said in a clear voice: "Everyone, although I, Zhou Jieying, am not a jade carving master, after all, I am also the direct disciple of the God of Gamblers, and I have a certain reputation..."
When she said this, she said no more.
Smart people know that what she wants to say is that her jade carvings will be highly collectible because of her reputation.
Indeed, in this world, as long as someone is famous, if you draw a few circles, someone will pay a high price to buy it as a treasure.
As the new gambling princess, Zhou Jieying's works are indeed wanted to be collected by many people.
Therefore, someone started to bid, "Three hundred thousand!"
Zhou Jieying frowned slightly when she heard three hundred thousand, feeling that this was an insult to her.
"The starting bid is two million!"
Zhou Jieying spoke up.
Everyone was stunned.
The jade she used was of the green bean variety with a water-like head, and was worth less than 100,000 yuan. With the title of the God of Gambling Princess, adding 200,000 yuan more would make it 300,000 yuan, which is already a very good price.
She actually said she wanted two million, which shocked everyone.
Seeing the onlookers falling into silence, Zhou Jieying became a little anxious, worried that no one would be willing to take pictures.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, someone started to bid, "Two million!"
Zhou Jieying's eyes lit up and she looked at the person bidding.
She recognized the man as a real estate agent in Guangyuan. Some time ago, he went to her house to see her father for business.
The reason why this real estate agent was willing to pay a high price for her jade carvings was because he wanted to bribe Mayor Zhou in this way so that Mayor Zhou could reveal Guangyuan's urban development plan to him and bid him some land at a low price.
Due to the recent fierce competition with Huang Huasen, Mayor Zhou Qiang did not dare to make any mistakes, so he rejected this real estate developer.
This real estate agent came to Beijing for business today and happened to pass by Gambling Street. Seeing the excitement here, he came over and found that the eldest lady of the Zhou family was there.
Now, I finally have a chance to join Zhou Qiang's line.
"Is there anyone willing to take two million?"
When they heard that someone was actually willing to pay 2 million for Zhou Jieying's jade carving, which was worth at most 300,000, everyone began to murmur.
"Two million is certainly worth it. This is the new stone gambling princess in our stone gambling world. The future god of gambling will have room for appreciation in the value of her works. The day before yesterday, someone just spent three million to buy a certain
A calligraphy work by a famous star? Is it because his calligraphy is good?"
