139.Chapter 139: Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns
Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had to show an annoyed expression on his face and put down the sign bitterly.
Xu Bo regretted it after taking the photo, 230 million euros! No matter how valuable this piece of material is, it can only be sold for this much, right?
"I'm so irrational!" He secretly warned and decided not to be so reckless next time.
This was because Zhang Jun had a "hate for seizing his wife" with him, and more importantly, Zhang Jun had robbed 20% of Greenstone Group's shares, which he hated very much. Facing Zhang Jun, he could not help but lose control of his emotions.
.
Old Depp saw this, was happy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Zhang, in the next round, feel free to bid boldly, that person will not come back to you."
It has to be said that Depp is an expert in psychological warfare. He can accurately capture the opponent's performance and judge what the opponent is thinking.
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Okay, I will listen to you."
The next auction item is called "Emperor of the Earth". It is not as big as the Emperor, but it weighs more than 100 kilograms and has a low price of 100 million euros. The window it wipes out shows that it is also a piece of glass chicken fat yellow jade, and the bottom is
Go to the next level.
Regarding this piece of material, Zhang Jun wanted to get it the first time he saw it. According to his estimate, the value of this piece of material is at least 150 million euros, because its internal quality is even better than what is shown.
Just as Depp had predicted, the competitors had already seen Zhang Jun's fierceness, so the bidding in this round was not intense. Zhang Jun easily won it for 120 million.
Xu Bo was also tempted during this process, but having spent 230 million euros in one go before, he lacked confidence and did not dare to make another move without time.
The third piece of jade to be auctioned was the "Human Emperor". Zhang Jun was not even interested in taking a second look at this piece of jade. Without his participation, the competition became more intense, and its price was eventually raised to 134,000 euros.
After the "Three Emperors", there are the "Five Emperors". The Three Emperors are three pieces of chicken fat yellow glass jade. Yellow is a homophone for "emperor". It was loved by the royal family in feudal society, so it was extremely valuable.
As the name suggests, "Five Emperors" are five pieces of imperial green jade, and they are all of the glass variety. Their size is not as huge as the "Three Emperors", but imperial green is the most noble of all colors, so their prices are equally astonishing.
.
The "Five Emperors" are the North Emperor, the South Emperor, the East Emperor, the West Emperor, and the Zhong Emperor. The first piece to be auctioned was the Zhong Emperor, which is the smallest of all jadeite materials.
"The starting price of the Chinese Emperor is 120 million euros, and each increase will be no less than 10 million euros." The host announced the price, which caused a heated discussion.
Zhang Jun is well aware of the situation of the "Five Emperors" and knows that among these five pieces, only the "North Emperor" and "East Emperor" are surprising, and the others will only be purchased at a loss.
Although Zhang Jun was not interested in the "Chinese Emperor", Zhang Jun decided to participate in order to take special care of Xu Bo.
Sure enough, after calming down, Xu Bo's mind became active again. When he saw Zhang Jun started bidding again, he couldn't help being surprised and angry.
"Where did this kid get so much money?" He cursed secretly, and then said to the person behind him, "Go and let 'Mr. Liu' take action."
Mr. Liu has no power or influence, and he doesn't have much money, but he is bold and careful, and is best at psychological tactics. Xu Bo was the first to discover his strengths, so he took him under his wing to train him. Even before the public sale, he knew that Zhang Jun would definitely know how to do it.
to participate, so I brought "Mr. Liu".
Mr. Liu was sitting far away from Xu Bo. After receiving the instruction, he nodded in Xu Bo's direction. The tiny movements that occurred among hundreds of people could not be hidden from Zhang Jun, who had extraordinary eyesight.
His eyes narrowed and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The bidding for the "Chinese Emperor" began, and the competition was quite fierce. Every time Zhang Jun raised his placard, "Mr. Liu" also raised the price, slowly raising the price to 150 million euros.
Based on his understanding of Zhang Jun, the other party would definitely not let go easily, so he was confident that Zhang Jun would definitely add more. Unexpectedly, after he raised his sign, Zhang Jun gave him a thumbs up to express his admiration.
and the meaning of admitting defeat.
Mr. Liu's face suddenly turned pale. He slowly turned his head and saw how ugly Xu Bo's face was. He knew that he was finished. He had to pay for the 150 million euros. Xu Bo was
I will never save him.
With a pale face, he took out an iron box from his pocket, took out a pill and swallowed it. A few seconds later, he convulsed and fell to the ground dead.
The organizers were so angry that they tried to auction "Chinese Emperor" for the second time, but the auction ended in failure. Buyers were more superstitious, and the dead people made them taboo about the "Chinese Emperor" material, thinking it was unlucky.
The death incident gave the auction a slightly spookier atmosphere, but the interest in bidding remained undiminished. The second auction item was "Beidi," a piece of material that Zhang Jun was bound to sell.
Before the auction, Zhang Jun glanced deliberately in the direction of Xu Bo and gave him a middle finger. The latter was extremely annoyed and glared at him fiercely.
Zhang Jun sneered and focused on the bidding again.
The starting price of "Beidi" was 9,000 euros. Thanks to the public push, its price finally reached 130 million euros. Xu Bo was also involved, but when he saw Zhang Jun's cold expression, he didn't know.
Why am I so upset that I don’t dare to continue competing?
He was worried that he would sit in a candle and be roasted like Mr. Liu, which would not be worth it.
Zhang Jun got his wish and captured Beidi.
He was involved in the rest of the Southern Emperor and the Western Emperor. He raised the price for the "Western Emperor" quite a bit, but it was taken away by others. The highest price was 145 million euros.
The auction of Nandi was quite dramatic. Zhang Jun did not participate in the beginning. It was not until someone bid the highest price that he suddenly took action. However, Xu Bo also raised his placard brazenly at this time and raised the price to 150 million euros.
.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun did not pursue him. He smiled coldly at Xu Bo and stopped. The latter was shocked. He seemed to have thought of something but did not dare to confirm it. He sat there in a daze, completely confused.
In the final auction of Dong Di, Zhang Jun was unstoppable, frightening off all competitors with his ferocity, and finally won the auction for 135 million euros.
For the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors auction, Zhang Jun spent a total of 579 million euros, with a lot of 1.5 billion euros left. Xu Botong spent 610 million euros, and now only 90 million euros are left from 700 million euros.
After the auction, Zhang Jun changed his dejected attitude. He walked to the opposite side of Xu Bo with a big smile and said, "Today's auction would never have been so exciting without you."
"You're not bad either." Xu Bo felt slightly panicked, but he was not even in the mood to argue with Zhang Jun.
"I'll tell you a secret, I'm not optimistic about the pieces of jadeite you took." Zhang Jun lowered his voice and said, "So I suggest you never dismantle the stone."
Xu Bo's face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled twice, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You can't compete with me, so you just want to disturb my mood. I will never be affected by you!"
Zhang Jun smiled "hehe": "Okay, it's up to you." After saying that, he turned around and left, but Xu Bo's expression behind him became worse and worse.
"Did I fall into his trap from the beginning? Impossible! How could I be fooled by him?" Xu Bo said to himself nervously, and then he suddenly said to the person behind him, "Jie Shi! I want to see inside
!”
Seeing Xu Bo's expression, Xu Gaoyi's heart tightened. He didn't care about anything else and went directly to the warehouse to analyze the stone. Myanmar stored jadeite for buyers free of charge. The jadeite purchased by Xu Bo was placed in a building with an area of nearly 200 square meters.
In a small warehouse.
The stone-breaking master was hired with a high salary to use the special machine to break the stone.
The first King of Heaven was unraveled. The stone he bought for 125 million euros had very small pieces of top quality jadeite, and most of it was variegated low-grade jadeite. It was sold for a few bucks.
Undoubtedly, if the King of Heaven gambles on the first day, it will be good if it can allow the Xu family to recoup one-tenth of the cost. Xu Bo's mood also collapsed, and he stared blankly at the stone powder on the ground. Hundreds of millions of euros were just gone.
?
Xu Gaoyi's forehead was also covered with cold sweat. He said in a trembling voice: "Xu Bo, we can't untie it! If we don't untie this stone, we can still sell it."
Indeed, as Xu Gaoyi said, as long as these stones are not unlocked, they may be sold at a higher price in the future.
Xu Bo's face was uncertain and he said: "Father, these stones cannot be sold in the short term. Our Xu family's capital chain will be under tremendous pressure. Once the capital chain is broken, the Xu family will be finished!"
Xu Gaoyi gritted his teeth and said: "There is no perfect path for everyone, let's think of a way."
"There is nothing we can do!" Xu Bo said as if he had lost his soul. "Six hundred and ten million euros! It's equivalent to five billion yuan. Such a huge gap cannot be filled."
Xu Gaoyi slapped Xu Bo on the face and said angrily: "Xu Bo, cheer up! As long as you give me time, I can sell the remaining three stones, and I can sell them for 300-400 million at any price."
Euros. Add the remaining 90 million euros and it will not be a problem to tide over the difficulties!"
Xu Bo slowly came to his senses, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's him! Damn Zhang Jun, he actually played with me! I'm going to kill him!"
Xu Gaoyi's eyes were also full of murderous intent, and he said: "Don't worry, he won't live long!" Then he looked at the master of stone interpretation.
There was fear in Master Jie Shi's eyes. He took two steps back and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what happened today."
"Really? But I only believe in dead people." Xu Gaoyi said coldly.
A bodyguard behind him sneered and approached. With a flash of his body, he stabbed a sharp knife into Master Jie Shi's heart. The latter snorted and stopped breathing within ten seconds.
Xu Gaoyi did this because he was worried that the other party would tell the truth about the Xu family's situation. In that case, it would be difficult to get rid of the remaining three stones. For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill Master Jieshi.
Not long after killing Master Jie Shi, Xu Gaoyi's phone rang. It was the head of the Ming family, another force in the Jade Gang. The Ming family was as powerful as the Xu family and had a strong influence in the domestic jewelry industry.
After answering the phone, the head of the Ming family smiled and said: "Brother Gao Yi, General Kunsang and I are drinking. I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you have time?"
Xu Gaoyi narrowed his eyes. Although the Ming and Xu families both belong to the Jade Gang, they are fighting openly and secretly in private. They seem to be in harmony with each other, but they both want to eat each other. It's just that the two families have the same interests and goals, so they can cooperate for so many years.
"Brother Xinyuan, we just met this morning, what's going on with you? I'm very busy now," Xu Gaoyi asked tentatively.
The head of the Ming family was called Ming Xinyuan, and he said in a serious tone: "General Kunsang said that this matter is very important, and Brother Gao Yi must participate."
