Qi Huairen deliberately used the method of provoking generals.
He especially hoped that Xia Xiaoyu would save face because of the large number of people.
And spent a lot of money to buy this broken stone.
When I heard Qi Huairen say this.
Dao Scarwei immediately glanced at Xia Xiaoyu and said coldly:
"If you want to buy it, I can give you a cheaper price. How about 800,000 yuan?"
Dao Scarwei also wanted to sell this broken stone quickly.
But he still harbors illusions and wants to sell it at a good price.
“Too expensive!”
Xia Xiaoyu shook his head and only said two words.
"Six hundred thousand?"
Dao Scar Wei has reduced prices again.
Xia Xiaoyu shook his head expressionlessly.
Dao Scarwei frowned, stared at Xia Xiaoyu, and asked:
"Then tell me, how much can you pay?"
Xia Xiaoyu hesitated, stretched out two fingers, and said lightly:
"Up to two hundred thousand!"
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu spoke, Qin Zimo couldn't help but tugged on his arm and said softly:
"Forget it, don't buy it. Two hundred thousand dollars to buy a stone is not worth it..."
Xia Xiaoyu turned to Qin Zimo with a bright smile and said:
"Isn't it just two hundred thousand? I can afford it, as long as you like it!"
Qin Zimo's eyes widened and he looked at Xia Xiaoyu dumbfounded.
When did you say that you liked this piece of broken stone?
But with so many people present, Qin Zimo couldn't ask him.
Qin Xiaoman, on the other hand, was made to laugh by Xia Xiaoyu's words.
Pointing at the two of them, he nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, you are so right, you stinky beggar! Qin Zimo is the perfect match for this stone. It is ugly and hard. With a little fragrance, you won't know who you are..."
Qin Xiaoman was actually happy.
But Dao Scarwei's face became even more gloomy.
The price Xia Xiaoyu offered was called a "stuck price", which made him particularly uncomfortable.
I'm selling it. I think it's a bit cheap, but it's far from the price I thought it would be.
If you don't sell it, you're afraid that it will be worthless in the end.
After all, so many people in the jade industry are not optimistic about this stone.
After thinking for a while, Dao Scarwei made a decision.
Looking at Xia Xiaoyu, he said directly:
"Okay, two hundred thousand, I'll sell it to you!"
I transferred the account and took the stone.
Xia Xiaoyu put it under his nose and smelled it again.
Xue Chengyuan, who had been watching the excitement, looked at Xia Xiaoyu and asked in confusion:
"I said, you are really a stick! Two hundred thousand is enough for you to make several young models, but you bought a piece of broken stone! Is your brain not working well?"
Xia Xiaoyu turned his head, glared at him deliberately, and said:
"Xue Chengyuan, have you forgotten your identity? Is this what you should say as a follower?"
When he mentioned the follower, Xue Chengyuan immediately shut up.
Qin Xiaoman, on the other hand, was so happy that he wanted to applaud.
Looking at Xia Xiaoyu, she gloated and said:
"You said you're a stinky beggar, you don't even have a job, you're already poor, and you rely on Qin Zimo to support you. But you're lucky, you actually spent 200,000 yuan to buy a piece of broken stone. You really made me laugh to death! Oh
, By the way. The 20 million you cheated on me have almost been spent, right?"
As he said this, Qin Xiaoman laughed again.
Qin Xiaoman is still worried about the calligraphy and painting incident last time.
People around him started talking too, but no one understood.
How could Xia Xiaoyu spend 200,000 yuan to buy such a broken stone?
Just as he was saying this, he saw Zhong Yuansheng walking out of the crowd.
He was always there just now.
However, based on his understanding of Xia Xiaoyu, it was impossible for Xia Xiaoyu to spend such unjust money for no reason.
Therefore, he remained silent.
Now that the transaction was completed, he came out and greeted Xia Xiaoyu.
Then, he asked Xia Xiaoyu:
"Brother Xia, what is the meaning of this stone? Why are you interested in it?"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled slightly, handed the stone to Zhong Yuansheng, and said:
"Brother Zhong, look at this stone. What's different about it?"
Zhong Yuansheng serves as the president of Jiangcheng Antiques Association.
He is also very involved in exotic stones and jewelry.
But he looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said:
"To be honest, I think this is just an ordinary stone, nothing special. At most, it just has a slight fragrance!"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled again, shook his head, and said lightly:
"Actually, it's not a stone!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone around him was shocked.
Everyone felt that Xia Xiaoyu was talking nonsense.
So many people are looking at you.
Can't you even tell whether it is a stone?
"Then what is it?"
Zhong Yuansheng couldn't wait to ask.
Xia Xiaoyu replied calmly:
"It's ambergris!"
"Ah? Ambergris?"
Xia Xiaoyu's words immediately detonated the entire audience.
Everyone was talking crazily.
Ambergris comes from sperm whales.
It is said that the stones are formed due to incomplete digestion of the food in the sperm whale's stomach.
It is both an extremely valuable spice and a particularly rare and valuable medicinal material.
The price is even much higher than gold.
Zhong Yuansheng was even more surprised.
But he had seen ambergris before, and it was completely different from what he saw.
He immediately asked:
"Brother Xia, ambergris is solid and gelatinous, and looks like amber. But the one in front of you, no matter how you look at it, is just a piece of rock. It is completely different from the form of ambergris..."
When Xia Xiaoyu just said it was ambergris, Qin Xiaoman was also surprised.
Although she didn't know about ambergris, she guessed from everyone's looks that it must be quite precious.
But when Zhong Yuansheng said this, she felt that Xia Xiaoyu must be talking nonsense.
He immediately answered:
"Don't believe him, he is a liar! He just wants to speculate on this stone and sell it to others. His tricks cannot be hidden from me..."
Xia Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to her, but said to Zhong Yuansheng:
"Brother Zhong is indeed right. In the West, ambergris is also called gray amber. It looks like a gel. In fact, our ambergris is the same. It's just that the collectors specially put it in order to make the aroma last longer.
It's just a protective cover poured with lime outside..."
As he said that, he saw Xia Xiaoyu holding a stone.
Knocking gently on the ground.
Not a few knocks.
Sure enough, I saw that the outer layer was slowly cracking.
Xia Xiaoyu gently broke it with his hand.
A layer of gray-black colloid surface was immediately exposed inside.
What surprised everyone even more was that it was only slightly opened.
But the whole hall was immediately filled with a sweet smell.
And the smell is sweet but not greasy, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Everyone was stunned, and Zhong Yuansheng couldn't help but asked in surprise:
"Brother Xia, since there is a protective cover outside, how do you know it is ambergris?"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said directly:
"Ambergris, as a precious Chinese medicine, has its own unique aroma. There is a protective cover on the outside, but of course I can't tell it. However, the protective cover can cover the appearance, but it cannot cover up its aroma. I am too familiar with this smell...
