Entering the venue, it has been transformed into a large exhibition venue, with cameras installed everywhere, security personnel standing guard every three to five steps, and people patrolling from time to time.
Zhou Zichen can understand. A piece of rough stone here is estimated to cost tens of thousands, the most expensive ones are estimated to be tens of millions, and the total value is estimated to be several hundred million. It is understandable that the guards are so tight.
Each of these rough stones has a number. Everyone who enters the venue can look at the rough stones first. If they like the rough stones, they can write down the number and then bid accordingly when the auction starts.
There are only four hours to see the rough stones, and there are hundreds of rough stones in the whole place. It is probably a bit difficult to see them all, but there is no problem in viewing most of them.
There are quite a few people here today, probably all stone gambling individuals and jewelers from this province. Many of them are even from other provinces. You can tell by their accents.
Wang Changlin led Zhou Zichen around to look at the rough stones, while explaining the rules of the auction to Zhou Zichen.
Zhang Jianshan actually followed him, so Zhang Hao naturally had no choice but to follow.
Along the way, Zhang Jianshan kept creating opportunities for Zhang Hao to show off. Zhang Hao did have some abilities. At least when it came to looking at rough stones, he was not useless. Even Wang Changlin couldn't help but nod his head several times.
After wandering around for half an hour, Wang Changlin and Zhang Jianshan were going to have tea. Zhang Jianshan also invited Zhou Zichen, but Zhou Zichen declined. He preferred to look at the rough stones here instead of having tea.
As soon as Wang Changlin and Zhang Jianshan left, Zhang Hao completely unblocked him and activated his taunting skills again: "Zhou Zichen, do you want me to make a bet? Let's see who sees it more accurately."
Zhou Zichen rarely paid attention to Zhang Hao's provocation. If he really wanted to bet, no matter how accurate Zhang Hao's eyes were, they couldn't compare to the super powers of Zhou Zichen's eyes.
There were a lot of notebooks and ballpoint pens placed around the venue so that people who came in to see the rough stones could easily record the numbers.
Zhou Zichen took a small notebook and a ballpoint pen and began to classify the rough stones.
Most of these rough stones contain jade, some are good and some are bad. At least the quality of the rough stones here is much better than those in the antique market.
But Zhang Hao kept muttering next to Zhou Zichen: "Are you scared? You can fool that old... Master Wang, I have seen through you a long time ago. In fact, you are just pretending."
Zhou Zichen was upset by the quarrel: "What do you want? Donate money again?"
When it came to donating money, Zhang Hao felt as if he had been slapped by Zhou Zichen again.
"Don't be too proud, we'll see." After Zhou Hao said that, he turned around and left.
The auction will start soon.
The auction is divided into three stages. The first stage is the lowest. The value of this type of rough stone is generally not high. It looks like tens of millions of pieces. You can't look at the rough stone. After taking the picture, there will be a master who will help you immediately.
Jie Shi is pure luck in gambling, and is used by some people who are superstitious about luck to try their luck.
In the second stage, most of the rough stones, those displayed in the exhibition area, are sold in this way. A bidding box will be placed next to each rough stone, and each person can write one or more pieces of paper.
Please write down your entry code and your bid on the note. If it is not written clearly or the font is difficult to distinguish, it will be deemed invalid. After two hours, a staff member will start counting.
While the staff is counting, the third auction will be held. A total of thirty pieces of high-quality rough stones will be auctioned for everyone to bid.
Without this arrangement, hundreds of rough stones would never be auctioned off. If there were only a few dozen rough stones, it would not be enough to attract enough people to watch this conference.
In the first stage, Zhou Zichen was too lazy to take action. There were hundreds of rough stones. Zhou Zichen quickly looked through them. The best among them was Nuozhong, which was still small.
But there is one thing that Zhou Zichen admires very much. Most of these rough stones are in stock, but the quality is not good.
The first stage took about an hour, and then it was lunch time. The organizer arranged the food, and there was only one hour for dining.
Zhou Zichen ate in a hurry and entered the venue again. Bidding boxes had been placed beside all the rough stones in the exhibition hall, and many people had already started bidding.
Zhou Zichen calculated his money and found that he had more than two million. Some rough stones that performed well would definitely have no chance. Zhou Zichen's current financial resources were not enough to compete with those rich people and jewelers.
Among these rough stones, there were good ones on the inside, and most of the outer skins also performed very well. The jeweler would not give up easily. Zhou Zichen directly rejected these rough stones that performed well on the outside, and selected three pieces that did not perform well on the outer skin, but inside
Jadeite is a very good rough stone for bidding.
Zhou Zichen quickly placed two bids, each worth 300,000 yuan. As long as he could win one of the bids, he would get at least several hundred thousand yuan.
When Zhou Zichen finished writing the third bidding card and put it into the bidding box, the lingering Zhang Hao appeared again: "Actually, I am not optimistic about this rough stone. Your vision is not very good, but I really want to follow him."
You grab it."
Zhang Hao said, writing a bidding card in front of Zhou Zichen, with a bid of 400,000.
Zhou Zichen wrote a bid card worth 410,000 yuan and put it into the bid box.
Zhang Hao calmly wrote the second one again: "If you don't have money, don't pretend. With the little money you have, in my opinion, you are no different from a beggar."
Zhang Hao wrote a bid card worth 500,000 yuan and put it into the bid box.
Zhou Zichen smiled slightly: "I'm actually very curious, did you earn any of your money yourself?"
Zhou Zichen wrote a bidding card for 510,000 yuan.
Zhang Hao wrote a bidding card of 600,000 yuan: "So, the people in your orphanage don't understand. I am the only son of my father. What is the difference between his and mine?"
Zhou Zichen didn't go any further. There were only about half a million jade in the rough stone. It would be pointless to invest in it. If you want to trick Zhang Hao, you can't just trick him into a few hundred thousand, that would be pointless.
"Rich second generation, since you like this rough stone, I'll give it to you." Zhou Zichen said, glanced at the book in Zhang Hao's hand, turned around and left.
Seeing that Zhou Zichen had no intention of getting angry, Zhang Hao felt as if he had punched him hard. He wanted to raise the price so that Zhou Zichen could not buy the rough stone he wanted, in order to anger Zhou Zichen.
But Zhou Zichen has always acted calmly, and he will not let go of the rough stones that he is optimistic about.
Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Zichen's leaving figure fiercely, his heart itching with hatred, but there was nothing he could do against Zhou Zichen.
Zhang Hao also turned around and left. Their family was in the jewelry business. They came here to buy some good raw materials and process them into jewelry. Zhang Jianshan handed over all the bidding and auction tasks to Zhang Hao. He also wanted to take this opportunity to make some jewelry.
Zhang Hao can show his strength well.
Zhou Zichen walked around the exhibition area for a few minutes, and then walked towards rough stone No. 016.
When Zhou Zichen left just now, through the power of his eyes, he had memorized all the codes recorded in Zhang Hao's notebook. Since Zhang Hao likes to raise prices, Zhou Zichen doesn't mind raising prices with him.
The skin of No. 016 performs very well. If sold as rough stone, it is estimated to fetch about 600,000 yuan.
When Zhou Zichen arrived, he happened to see Zhang Hao put in a bid, bidding 400,000.
Zhou Zichen also wrote down a bid of 500,000, and then placed his bid.
Zhang Hao smiled "hehe" and said, "You want to take away this rough stone for only 500,000? How naive."
Zhang Hao said and wrote a bid of 600,000 yuan.
There is nothing in this rough stone, so you will lose whatever money you pay for it.
Zhou Zichen thought for a while and wrote a bid of one million, while Zhang Hao hesitated and wrote a bid of one million, one million.
Zhou Zichen nodded: "Very good, 1.1 million, this rough stone is worth the price."
Zhang Hao glanced at Zhou Zichen. If Zhou Zichen hadn't raised the price with him, would he have paid 1.1 million?
"I don't have much else, I just have a lot of money!" Zhang Hao had long been upset. The rough stone that Zhou Zichen was interested in before was forced by him, but Zhou Zichen's indifferent attitude gave him a lot of confidence to beat the cotton.
It felt like Zhou Zichen had raised the price of this piece of rough stone that he was optimistic about by hundreds of thousands.
For the first time, Zhang Hao felt that Zhou Zichen was haunted. No matter where he went, Zhou Zichen would always follow him and raise the price with Zhang Hao. Each time, he raised the price to the limit that Zhou Zichen could bear.
Just give up.
Until the fourth time, when Zhou Zichen appeared again, Zhang Hao couldn't bear it anymore: "You want you to vote, so I'll give it to you."
But Zhou Zichen said with a smile: "You are too naive. I am helping you. Do you think you are the only one bidding in the entire venue? There are so many people, how can you possibly win the bid if you don't pay a higher price?"
Where are these rough stones that you are interested in? I can’t bear to let the child catch the wolf!”
Zhang Hao was unable to refute Zhou Zichen's words, because Zhou Zichen was right. With so many people investing, the price he invested was low, and there was really no way to buy these rough stones.
When Zhou Zichen wrote down a bidding card worth 500,000 yuan and put it into the bidding box for the fourth rough stone that Zhang Hao was optimistic about, Zhang Hao suddenly realized that he just wanted to cast a wide net by writing such a low price in case someone won.
If you take one, you can make money by yourself. If you don't get one, it's just a waste of paper.
But now, each one of them has been raised to the top by Zhou Zichen. Even if he wins, it is not certain whether he can make money.
Zhang Hao knew that he was so angry with Zhou Zichen that he was so confused to argue with Zhou Zichen.
"That's good! Since you like it, I won't invest in this!" After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he thought that the price of the rough stone was likely to rise sharply, and he was a little unwilling to let Zhou Zichen make money.
Zhang Hao hesitated again and again, but finally returned and wrote a bidding card for 600,000 yuan.
Zhou Zichen continued to look like a teachable child: "That's right. Seize every opportunity and you can get more."
Zhou Zichen said and wrote another bidding card of 850,000 yuan. This rough stone is estimated to be worth 890,000 yuan for jadeite. Even if Zhang Hao gives up, he will only let the jadeite pass through his hands.
.
Zhang Hao now understands that Zhou Zichen is deliberately raising the price with him to prevent him from buying good rough stones at a low price. However, thinking that the price may rise sharply, Zhang Hao is unwilling to be bought by Zhou Zichen.
