Indeed, this is a stone with a legendary history.
Since last year, many people have been optimistic about him, hoping that he can uncover a good story and create a legend.
Even many jade gambling masters linger around it, believing that it can yield good jade.
But things always take unexpected turns.
This stone went to two auctions in a row, but both times it failed to sell.
Li Rongfa paid no attention to the laughter from the audience; he was telling the truth.
If this stone is successfully acquired, then regardless of the outcome, both the stone and the buyer will become a legend.
However, it could be positive or negative; one could be something to aspire to, while the other is something to lament.
"One of the owners, Mr. Liu, approached me, hoping I could put in a good word for him to sell this rough stone and prevent it from failing to sell at auction again. My response was simply, 'I hope so!'"
The owner, Mr. Liu, and others were in a hurry to sell it.
If they keep pressing it down on their hands, they'll lose everything, even their lives.
"Hopefully someone can acquire it and see if it's really as amazing as it seems. If you're interested and have the financial means, you shouldn't miss out on it."
"And if you possess this magical stone, your life will be even more wonderful and equally magical."
"I'm sure everyone knows without me saying that this rough stone will definitely yield jade. The only difference is whether the jade inside will be big or small, and that depends entirely on luck. Those who are interested can give it a try."
After Li Rongfa finished speaking, he returned to his seat.
His words resonated with many people.
"Yes, Master Li is right. This stone is truly legendary. I'd love to bid on it!"
"Heh, do you have money? If I had money, I'd take a picture too!"
"Life offers few opportunities to take a gamble! If I really find a fine piece of jade, then my life will be secure. I won't have to struggle for survival anymore, and I can live the life I want!"...
The atmosphere at the scene was stirred up and became even more heated.
Everyone was in high spirits, looking at the stone with great envy.
Chen Dong observed the reactions of everyone present and knew that none of them would make a move.
At this point, the auctioneer announced, "The starting price for this rough stone is now only forty-five million US dollars, with each bid increasing by at least one million US dollars. Anyone bidding? Forty-five million! Forty-five million is all it takes!"
Judging from the auctioneer's tone, it was as if it weren't forty-five million US dollars, but a cabbage for four dollars and fifty cents.
However, Chen Dong knew that without his intervention, the rough stone would still fail to sell.
Sure enough, upon hearing the price, everyone could only sigh in despair.
They do have a positive outlook on it, but that's not enough to make them decide to acquire it.
For most people, they can't even scrape together enough money to pay the minimum price.
The starting price is $45 million, which is about 200 million RMB.
This is an astronomical figure; an ordinary person couldn't earn that much money in a lifetime.
Even if they could raise enough to meet the minimum price, they wouldn't be willing to take such a big risk.
After all, betting tens of millions of dollars on a possibility is too risky.
Meanwhile, many in the crowd were hoping to see if anyone would dare to pay tens of millions of dollars to get their hands on it.
However, everyone just watched and no one made a bid.
"Has no one made a bid yet? Is there really no one willing to take it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," the auctioneer urged, trying his best to persuade.
But everyone just stood there watching, talking, laughing, and whispering, but no one made a bid.
Just then, Chen Dong said calmly to Old Qin, who was sitting to the side, "I'm going to make my move!"
"What?" Old Qin was taken aback.
Before Lao Qin could react, Chen Dong had already raised the number plate in his hand.
Forty-six million!
Old Qin then realized that Chen Dong actually wanted to bid for this piece of raw jade!
Isn't that an exaggeration?
So many expert jade gamblers didn't dare to make a move!
Almost simultaneously, Shang Yanfei received the same offer.
Then, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Ming was still talking to Shang Yanfei.
He looked agitated, clearly trying to dissuade Shang Yanfei.
Shang Yanfei then forcefully shook off his hands that were gripping her arm, and shouted, "Shut up!"
"Uh, gentlemen, we need to rebid!" The auctioneer was taken aback; he hadn't expected these two to actually bid.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, his heart was burning with excitement, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
I thought this rough stone would fail to sell again, but unexpectedly, someone has made a bid, and there are two of them at that.
It's the same two people who really got into a fight yesterday!
God help us, this is going to be interesting.
If they actually continue doing this and are able to pay and take delivery, then their performance will far exceed expectations.
It's also possible that they won the bid for the item but ultimately didn't pay or take delivery, given the large amount involved.
But who can say for sure about these things? Maybe they really are rich.
Furthermore, the Myanmar government will severely crack down on those who bid but fail to pay, including banning them from entering Myanmar for five years and prohibiting them from participating in public auctions for ten years.
He believed that wealthy gamblers like them would certainly not want to suffer such a loss.
"Forty-seven million!" Chen Dong continued to raise the price.
Shang Yanfei was taken aback. He hadn't expected Chen Dong to be so decisive. It seemed he really wanted to acquire this rough stone.
