Zhang Hao no longer looked for the rough stone that he was optimistic about, but found a random one. He was going to trick Zhou Zichen and ask Zhou Zichen to raise the price. He would stop as soon as the price reached a certain price.
There was no big problem with Zhang Hao's plan, but he didn't know that Zhou Zichen had already read through the numbers recorded in his notebook, and Zhang Hao's trick had no effect on Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen waited for Zhang Hao to finish stealing the bidding card and said, "Okay, let's go to the next one!"
When Zhang Hao saw that Zhou Zichen had no intention of bidding, he almost couldn't help cursing in his heart. Zhou Zichen followed the one he was optimistic about, but he chose Zhou Zichen at will but didn't make any move.
Zhang Hao hated Zhou Zichen so much, but he couldn't do anything against Zhou Zichen. No matter how Zhang Hao voted, Zhou Zichen would bite him to death. The price was almost as low as Zhang Hao's heart. Zhou Zichen
Chen just quit.
However, Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and quit twice, and two of the prices were higher than what Zhang Hao had invested.
However, Zhang Hao didn't feel any pleasure at all, because he was interested in these rough stones, but now he chose to withdraw because Zhou Zichen raised the price.
Zhang Hao finally made it to the end of the second game. Zhang Hao felt that his mentality was about to explode. He originally expected to only invest 8 million, but ended up placing more than 20 million, most of which may still be lost.
Winning the bid because these prices are not low.
In the third auction, everyone has their own position. Zhou Zichen's position is next to Wang Changlin's, and Zhang Jianshan and Zhang Hao's positions are three positions between Zhou Zichen and Zhou Zichen.
Zhang Hao has been keeping a close eye on Zhou Zichen. Now he is thinking about preventing Zhou Zichen from buying the rough stone he wants. Even if he suffers a loss, he cannot let Zhou Zichen buy it.
Zhang Hao has been swallowed up by his own anger. As long as he can make Zhou Zichen feel a little bit unhappy, he is willing to even owe him. This time Zhang Jianshan gave him fifty million years at his disposal and also set a ten million for him.
Amount of loss.
In other words, Zhang Hao had 50 million to control this time. As long as the rough stone he finally bought was above 40 million, it would meet Zhang Jianshan's requirements.
Now Zhang Hao still has 30 million to spend, but what about Zhou Zichen? Zhang Hao is afraid that he will not spend more than 2 million.
"I can't kill you with 30 million, but I can't kill you with 2 million?" Zhang Hao thought fiercely in his heart.
Zhou Zichen seemed to feel Zhang Hao's gaze and turned to give Zhang Hao a smile.
This smile made Zhang Hao's anger even more intense. Zhang Hao felt that Zhou Zichen was showing off! He was being proud of himself!
The auction finally started. There were thirty pieces of rough stone to be auctioned this time. Each time they were highlighted in the display area. Zhou Zichen also carefully observed these thirty pieces. Only one of them had ringworm on the outside that had already destroyed the jadeite inside.
It was completely destroyed. Whoever bought it lost all their money and could not get back a dime. The other twenty-nine yuan contained more or less jade.
The auctioneer first gave an introduction and then began to sell the first rough stone for auction.
Naturally, the good rough stones are left for last, so the rough stones in front are all inferior in appearance.
"This piece of rough stone is made of black sapphire. There are all experts here, so I won't explain too much. The starting price is 80,000, and the minimum increment is 5,000." The auctioneer said this casually, and the third stage was official.
start.
"One hundred thousand!"
"One hundred twenty thousand!"
"One hundred and sixty thousand!"
"One hundred and ninety thousand!"
…
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!" Seeing that everyone seemed to have reached their limit, Zhou Zichen suddenly raised the price and prepared to win.
Zhou Zichen's bid seemed a bit abrupt, and the person who offered the price of 220,000 did not bid again, because 220,000 had almost reached his bottom line, and it was not worth bidding anymore.
"This stone can barely fetch 300,000 yuan of jadeite. If it's in a good location and sold as semi-gambling material, it can fetch 350,000 yuan." Wang Changlin commented softly on the side.
Zhou Zichen used his eyesight to look at it, and found out that the jadeite inside the stone was indeed as Wang Changlin said, only about 300,000 yuan worth of jadeite.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!" came the account's voice, staring at the inheritance, eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Four hundred thousand."
Zhang Hao shouted out 400,000 yuan. Zhang Jianshan shook his head secretly and didn't say anything.
For the next two rough stones in a row, as long as Zhou Zichen bids, Zhang Hao will grab them. Fortunately, Zhou Zichen stopped bidding as soon as he saw Zhang Hao's bid, and Zhang Hao also stopped bidding.
Ten Kuai rough stones have been auctioned one after another, and the prices are around 200,000.
Next, good things will begin to appear slowly, and everyone begins to cheer up, whether they are watching the fun or preparing to gain something.
The eleventh stone is still a black rough stone, but it is much larger, and its external performance is also very good. Everyone is bullish.
"The eleventh rough stone has a base price of 190,000 yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than 10,000 yuan!" the auctioneer shouted.
"Three hundred thousand!" Zhou Zichen was the first to bid.
"Xiao Zhou, are you very optimistic about this rough stone?" Wang Changlin asked in surprise.
In general auctions, if the first bid is far from the lowest price, it is all to show one's determination. As long as someone raises the price slightly, the price can be raised very high.
"Three hundred and ten thousand!" Zhang Hao followed closely and also bid.
"Thirty-five"
"forty"
Then two more people joined in.
When the price reached 600,000 yuan, Zhou Zichen raised his hand: "700,000 yuan"
Zhou Zichen looked at Zhang Hao, then raised his middle finger towards Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao had originally planned to buy it, so he didn't need Zhou Zichen's provocation. He raised his hand and shouted the price: "Seventy-five."
"eighty"
"Eighty-five"
"ninety"
"This is completely unprofitable. These two young people are crazy."
"Yes! That is Zhang Jianshan's son, whose family is in the jewelry business. Who is the other one sitting next to Master Wang? Is he Master Wang's new disciple?"
"Probably not! I haven't heard that Master Wang has novice disciples."
"Look, Master Wang is talking to him."
"Ninety-one thousand" Someone saw Zhou Zichen talking to Wang Changlin and rushed in again. Wang Changlin's name is still very prestigious in the city's stone gambling community. The rough stone that Master Wang is optimistic about can't be any worse.
Place to go.
"Ninety-two" Zhou Zichen smiled slightly. The situation in this rough stone was not good. It would be good if it could fetch 100,000 yuan of jadeite. Anyone who sold it would lose blood.
Zhou Zichen is not worried about the price below 900,000. Even if he sells it, he can still sell it for 500,000. If the incision is very good, 700,000 is no problem. The lowest price in the auction house is usually lower than the market price.
.
If Zhang Hao hadn't accepted the offer, Zhou Zichen would still be able to accept a loss of two hundred thousand, but if he lost too much, Zhou Zichen would be heartbroken.
But now that these new forces have joined, Zhou Zichen doesn't have to worry too much about bidding too high. There will always be someone to take over, as long as he grasps the increase in price.
The price of this rough stone was quickly raised to two million, and the only ones still holding on were Zhou Zichen, Zhang Hao and another middle-aged man.
Zhou Zichen raised his hand: "Two million and two million."
The addition of 200,000 yuan immediately caused an uproar in the venue. The price of 2 million yuan had already surprised everyone present. Although the performance of this rough stone was good, the normal price was only around 500,000 yuan, but now it was
It was raised to 2.2 million.
Zhang Hao was also a little embarrassed. Even if his family was rich, they would not be so squandering!
Seeing that Zhang Hao didn't raise his hand to call out the price, Zhou Zichen turned around and looked like Zhang Hao, who happened to be looking at this side as well.
Zhou Zichen said in colloquial language: "If you can't afford it, just give up, you poor man!"
Poor guy? When Zhang Hao saw Zhou Zichen mouthing these two words, he felt angry again: "Two million and two hundred and fifty thousand."
The middle-aged man who had been following the bid increase was about to bid, but saw Zhou Zichen wave his hand to signal him to stop chasing after him.
The middle-aged man can follow the bidding, not because of Zhou Zichen's face, but because of Wang Changlin's face. Now that Zhou Zichen has told him not to bid, there should be really nothing to gain.
Without the middle-aged man raising the price, Zhou Zichen stopped bidding, and Zhang Hao successfully bought the rough stone for 2.25 million.
"Do you really think this piece of rough stone is worth 2.25 million?" Zhang Jianshan, who had never spoken to stop Zhang Hao, said: "Be calm in everything you do. Don't lose your balance just because you are angry."
"Yes, I know!" Zhang Hao is still very afraid of Zhang Jianshan, especially after he just spent more than two million according to his own temper, and he still doesn't know how much he can get back the original cost of these two million.
Zhou Zichen saw that Zhang Hao no longer looked this way, and estimated that Zhang Hao would not raise the price randomly. His father, Zhang Jianshan, was still around and would not let Zhang Hao continue to make mistakes.
The auction gradually progressed, and soon there was only the last rough stone left.
The ten best-performing stones in this auction are all here.
"I won't give you any more introductions. The price starts at 300,000 yuan, and each price increase will not exceed 10,000 yuan."
"Thirty-five!"
"forty!"
This time Zhang Hao also joined in: "Fifty."
"Fifty-one" Zhou Zichen also joined in.
"Fifty-six"
"sixty"
There were still many people who raised the price, and finally the ten rough stones were sold for 900,000 yuan and were auctioned off by a middle-aged woman.
Zhou Zichen participated in every subsequent game, and the prices were about the same, so Zhou Zichen would rationally choose to quit.
There are only three left. The lowest price of the first one is 1.2 million, and the price increases by 20,000 each time.
Zhou Zichen raised his hand to call out the price, but the price was not high.
Zhang Hao also started to join later, and the price has been raised to 2.4 million.
Two million and four hundred thousand was almost the real price of the rough stone itself, but Zhang Hao showed no intention of giving up, and Zhou Zichen was able to accompany him to raise the price.
"Two million six hundred thousand"
"Two hundred and eighty" Zhou Zichen raised his hand.
…
"Three million and one hundred thousand" Zhou Zichen called out the price again
"Three million and two million"
…
"Three.6 million"
"Four million!" Zhang Hao added a big price increase.
Zhou Zichen chose to give up, and Zhang Hao's four million was wasted. This rough stone was the only one among the rough stones auctioned separately that did not have any jadeite.
Zhou Zichen was already certain that Zhang Hao and the others would not be able to gain anything big this time, and would instead lose a lot of money.
