Two hundred million!
Everyone was amazed!
In an instant, many people turned to look at the source of the sound.
The person who suddenly offered 200 million was Ye Sheng, the president of the Ye Group.
Ye Sheng remained calm, unfazed by the stares of the crowd.
Outsiders cannot discern her true emotions from subtle facial expressions.
As is well known, the Yip Group is also quite powerful.
Previously, the Ye Group and the former Qiao Group were the third largest conglomerates in Haicheng.
They are also very wealthy and are a well-known luxury goods group.
The Yip Group's jewelry sales have consistently ranked among the top three.
...
The auctioneer began shouting: "Two hundred million, for the first time..."
"..."
"The rough stone from the MD1 mine has a small chip and is clearly full of green. Is there anyone else bidding? Two hundred million, the second time."
In an instant, Rong Zhan raised his sign.
He didn't quote a price, just a standard increase of 1 million.
With Ye Sheng joining the bidding and pushing the price to a new high, the auction has gained many new possibilities. It's exciting!
Because the price exceeded many people's expectations, some group executives and collectors hesitated to buy it.
Just looking at the bidding process like this is exciting!
...
Auctioneer: "Two hundred and one million..."
Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, Qiao Chu raised his paddle and bid: "Two hundred and fifty million!"
Hearing about the high price, many people couldn't sit still.
Some people also laughed at Qiao Chu and Jiang Zhi.
Some people think this jadeite rough is worth the price.
If, after cutting, it turns out to be mostly imperial green, then we've hit the jackpot!
Ye Sheng raised the bid by ten million.
Qiao Chu will pay another 5 million.
The two began to fight.
...
Rong Zhan was starting to lose his composure.
He began to hesitate.
During the auction, only those three companies had the financial strength to win the bid; the others were just spectators.
Rong Zhan asked Kevin in a low voice, "What do you think of this rough stone?"
Kevin frankly stated, "Judging from the texture, it's a high-quality jadeite rough. The small chip shows a full green color, so it should be worth bidding on."
Rong Zhan was skeptical: "It's already soared to almost 300 million, is there still any money to be made? Can we break even?"
Kevin: "Buying jade is just about buying what you love! People who like it will think it's worth it no matter how high the price is. We can hype it up, but the price of the jade is still up to us. We're the ones who set its value. Ye Sheng has a bit of a reputation in the jade gambling world, so the rough stone she's eyeing should be pretty good. As for that girl surnamed Qiao, she's just making things up."
Rong Yan remained silent.
She didn't understand the intricacies of raw stones.
Just looking at that small chip, and the fact that it comes from the MD1 mine, this rough stone should be worth bidding on.
...
After hearing Kevin's words, Rong Zhan's doubts changed.
Many good jadeite rough stones are produced in the MD1 mine. Ye Sheng insisted that 80% of them should contain imperial green.
Alternatively, he might make this offer and then stop arguing.
Even if Ye Sheng is determined to win, she should still pay more money.
Auctioneer: "Two hundred and ninety million, the second time... two hundred and ninety million, the third time..."
Instantly, Rong Zhan raised his sign: "Three hundred million!"
Auctioneer: "Three hundred million... Anyone else bidding?"
"..."
Auctioneer: "Three hundred million, for the first time..."
The auctioneer called out the price three times, but no one bid again.
The dust has settled; the jadeite rough stone was sold for 300 million.
...
Jiang Zhi remained silent.
His eyes were sharp.
His expression showed no emotional fluctuation.
When the auctioneer announced that Rong Zhan had won the numbered jadeite rough, he smiled mysteriously.
He gave Qiao Chu a special look.
...
The second rough stone was also brought on stage by the staff.
This piece of rough stone is 20 centimeters smaller than the previous one.
Produced in MD2 mine, but the starting bid was 10 times lower.
