The next day, Chen Dong and his team arrived at the auction site early again.
There was no other way but to get there early and participate in the auction.
I heard that electronic bidding machines were used here in later generations, which made the operation much more convenient.
Instead of having to do everything manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, as is the case now.
Of course, there's no need to think about it now.
Today is the last day of the open bidding auction.
The next two days will be the time for sealed bidding.
At this moment, Chen Dong had already arrived here to begin the stone-cutting process.
In fact, you can pay and pick up the goods on the same day you bid, and have the stones cut on site.
The results of a sealed bid are only available the next day. You can then confirm whether you have won the item you wanted, make the payment, and have the stone cut.
Chen Dong didn't go to get the stone cut yesterday, mainly because he felt it was getting late and they wanted to go for a stroll in the city.
Having finally arrived in Yangon at this time of year, it would be a shame not to wander around, experience the exotic atmosphere, visit temples and other historical sites, admire the beautiful women, and sample the local cuisine.
Of course, many more people choose to have their stones cut on the same day.
They were eager to see how the rough stones they had chosen fared, hoping to unearth jadeite that would satisfy them.
Everyone hopes to win their bet, not lose it.
Of course, the final outcome of such matters can only be hoped for and left to fate.
The tiger and the fox found the clerk, who led them to the office of the auction organizing committee. They paid and took away the raw jade they had won.
On-site stone cutting is very convenient, which is a method that the organizing committee of the conference likes very much.
They have arranged for professional stone cutters to work here.
Because on-site stone cutting stimulates people's desire to buy, especially when the bet is on a winning trade.
Of course, the stone-cutting area is not in the exhibition hall, but in a nearby building.
When Chen Dong arrived, the place was already packed with merchants participating in the raw material auction and onlookers.
At that moment, someone was cutting the stone.
Most of these people are just here to watch the spectacle.
They felt that if they found a good jade inside, and the jade itself was of good quality, it would be a good thing for them, at least they could share in the good fortune.
Of course, there is another type: representatives from jewelry companies in various regions. They have people stationed here, and if they find any good jade, they will buy it on the spot.
When Chen Dong went in, he discovered that the person cutting the stone was none other than Shang Yanfei.
What a coincidence.
He's here to have his stones cut too?
If it were the same rough jade from yesterday, I'd probably be furious.
When you're out and about, don't be arrogant.
Because besides money, there are many other things in this world that are beyond human control and can teach us lessons.
When Shang Yanfei looked up, she saw Lao Qin and Chen Dong.
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.
Of course, both Chen Dong and Lao Qin looked completely calm and collected.
The only one who was envious was Shang Yanfei.
Ouyang Ming was caught in a dilemma, his expression conflicted.
On one side is the Shang family, who gave him a chance and a chance to turn his life around, and Shang Yanfei in front of him; on the other side is Chen Dong, who has the ability to take his life.
Originally, there wasn't much hatred between Shang Yanfei and Chen Dong, but this hothead had somehow managed to create it.
well!
Ouyang Ming thought to himself: This Shang Yanfei is truly a talent!
Seeing Chen Dong and his group appear here, he was genuinely worried that Shang Yanfei might cause trouble.
However, to Ouyang Ming's surprise, Shang Yanfei was not entirely brainless.
Just like now, he knew that he was no match for Chen Dong and his group, and that his main purpose in coming to Yangon was to buy jade, so he tried his best to suppress his anger.
Shang Yanfei turned her head away, trying her best to control herself, not looking at Chen Dong or the old man beside him, or anyone else, but focusing her attention on the stone in front of her.
The rough stone they acquired, number 1528, wasn't large, weighing only a little over ten kilograms; it was a small piece.
But Shang Yanfei thought that if he could find a slightly larger piece of icy jade or even glassy jade, he would be rich and wouldn't lose money.
The stone cutter kept examining the rough stone to determine where to start cutting.
Shang Yanfei watched her master busily working with a tense expression.
"May God protect us, may Buddha protect us!" he chanted as he stretched out his hands in prayer.
He desperately hoped for a miracle so he could save face.
The craftsman picked up a pen and marked the stone, saying, "Start cutting here."
It was obvious that the chef wanted to cut it in the middle.
"No, cut here!" Shang Yanfei drew a line on the raw stone and said quickly.
He didn't want to damage any potential jade pieces, as even a small damage would significantly reduce their value.
The master glanced at him and nodded.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he seemed slightly dismissive.
Having been in the stone-cutting business for over a decade, I can generally sense whether or not a green stone will emerge.
Shang Yanfei's rough stone was clearly the worst kind; even if it had green, it wouldn't be worth much.
Turn on the switch, the machine starts, and the spinning blades gradually approach the stone.
"Sizzle...crack..." After a series of ear-piercing sounds, a large piece of the more than ten-pound rough jade was cut open, revealing the jade inside.
"hiss......"
Everyone kept their eyes straight ahead, and then let out a collective sigh.
Many people know that this rough stone is the same rough stone that cost $100,000.
However, when you cut it open, there wasn't a single green leaf, let alone any hair.
at this time.
