Old Qin didn't expect that Shang Yanfei would directly go against him and also make a bid.
As for Shang Yanfei, he was not optimistic about this rough stone, and Ouyang Ming also advised him not to buy it. However, since it was what Lao Qin wanted, he was happy to sabotage it and make Lao Qin pay more.
Then someone else offered a price: "US dollars!"
It seems that others have also taken a liking to this rough stone.
Currently, at least three companies are vying for this piece of raw jade.
Why are so many people fighting over such a mediocre piece of material?
Old Qin felt that this couldn't go on, so he gritted his teeth and directly called out the price: "US dollars."
This was all the money he could muster.
"Old Qin, how about this, you see how much you need, and I'll lend it to you," Chen Dong said from the side.
He knew Lao Qin's background well.
"No need, thank you, Mr. Chen."
"Don't mention it, consider it my investment."
"Really, no need. This is just a wishful thought of mine. I'm perfectly satisfied with just coming into this place."
Old Qin's words made Chen Dong sigh inwardly. The blows of that year had turned this once spirited appraiser into the depressed old man he is today.
Perhaps his current attitude can be described as indifferent?
At this moment, Chen Dong truly felt the immense enthusiasm people had for gambling on jade.
This is not only a yearning for the unknown, but also an understanding of human nature and the human heart. More importantly, there is the step of cutting the stone later on.
The allure of stone cutting, like a powerful lure, has lured countless people into wealth and helped them rise through the ranks of society.
Compared to stock trading, the allure of jade gambling is clearly far greater.
After all, stocks are just numbers, while jade gambling not only involves numbers, but also presents tangible goods in front of you.
Moreover, the atmosphere of everyone fighting face-to-face makes it easier for people to get carried away.
No wonder so many people find it so exciting.
Even Chen Dong, sitting here, gradually felt his blood flowing faster and faster, even starting to boil.
Just then, Chen Dong saw Shang Yanfei's provocative actions and felt very unhappy. He wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful he was.
"Are you sure you don't need it?" Chen Dong asked again.
Old Qin shook his head firmly and said, "The price has already increased so much, it's not worth it. Even if there is something in this rough stone, it probably won't yield anything particularly good."
Seeing Qin's reaction, Chen Dong knew that he had made up his mind.
No wonder he's an appraiser.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Dong said, "Alright. We won't buy it, but we'll still rip off that guy surnamed Shang!"
"Why don't we just forget about it for now? It's not worth it for such a small piece of raw jade." Old Qin was reluctant, "I can't let this ruin your plans."
"No, it's not just about you. I have a feeling that this time it's not just about the guy surnamed Shang. His henchman isn't up to any good either!"
"Oh? Then we can give it a try." Old Qin became interested upon hearing this.
It has to be said that he has been quite unhappy about it all these years.
Zhang Jianming was like that, and now his nephew is also taking advantage of his kindness.
Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone Old Qin, whose good intentions have resulted in endless resentment.
"Just listen to me!" Chen Dong said calmly.
"Okay!" Old Qin gritted his teeth and agreed.
Just as they were talking, the price of the rough stone had already exceeded US dollars.
The final bid came from Shang Yanfei.
The auctioneer on stage repeatedly asked, "Dollar, is there any more bidding?"
Shang Yanfei became smug.
Haha, I spent over 20,000 euros to ruin Lao Qin's good deed, but it was worth it!
However, Chen Dong left no room for argument and had Lao Qin raise his sign.
"$30,000!"
Originally, seeing the scene, the auctioneer thought the result was already quite good and was about to bring down the gavel and announce the sale.
I never expected Lao Qin to pull this stunt again.
Overjoyed!
"30,000! 30,000 US dollars! Any other bids?"
"US dollars," Shang Yanfei's indifferent voice rang out again.
He and Lao Qin got together.
Old Qin was initially a little unhappy, feeling that this was bullying a child.
However, at this moment, this guy made another offer.
Are you just making things difficult for yourself?
Then I'll teach you a lesson.
He and Chen Dong both looked in Shang Yanfei's direction at the same time.
Shang Yanfei gave them a polite smile.
He noticed that Old Qin's expression was calm, as if nothing had happened, and thought to himself, "Pretending, huh! You hypocritical old man!..."
Chen Dong and Lao Qin sensed the strong provocation in Shang Yanfei's smile.
"Heh, they jump out at this time. These young people nowadays..." Old Qin just shook his head and muttered.
He then turned to Chen Dong and said, "Mr. Chen, perhaps we should just forget about it?"
“No, it’s necessary. Just treat it as a game!” After saying that, Chen Dong said to Lao Qin, “Keep quoting, quote more, 35,000.”
"Dollar." Old Qin did as instructed.
Shang Yanfei kept her eyes fixed on them, "Dollar."
After quoting the price, he glanced at Lao Qin again.
Each time, the price was only $1,000 higher than Lao Qin's quote, which was clearly intentional.
"Hesitate for a moment!" Chen Dong said softly to Lao Qin.
Old Qin did as he was told, but hesitated slightly. He glanced at Shang Yanfei and his face showed anger.
