The applause rang out like a tide.
I saw eight burly men pushing a small cart carrying a piece of raw stone slowly coming onto the stage.
This piece of raw stone is the size of a millstone, although it is not as big as the green stone that Zhang Xinyuan just photographed.
But the whole body is round and natural. Even people who don’t know anything about raw stone identification can see its extraordinaryness.
Someone immediately started discussing:
"Is this really the companion stone of glass-type imperial green?"
“It should be true. Although the people at the Pingzhou Jade Public Auction are evil, their credibility is the highest in the country.
Lao Tong said it was a companion stone, so it is a companion stone."
"But how did they get it? Even ordinary people like you and me know how precious the companion stone is. There's no way the owner of the new Burmese pit wouldn't know about it!"
"That's easy. Just pay the money. Money talks. As long as you pay enough, there's nothing you can't buy."
"Just give money? Impossible. I feel like this is something that money can't solve."
"What else can we give if not money? Are we going to send a bunch of girls over there?"
"If I knew, would I still discuss this with you? Wait a minute, given Lao Tong's personality, he'll definitely tell you himself."
Sure enough, Tong Santong laughed and said, “Everyone, you don’t know.
When this raw stone was dug out from the mine, it caused a huge sensation even in Myanmar, where there are mountains of jade.
Especially when they heard that the owner of the new mine did not plan to cut the stone but to auction it directly, representatives from major public auctions around the world arrived.
Of course, bidding between public auctions is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.
What we are competing for is the procurement contract, and whoever purchases the larger quantity gets it.
In the end, our Pingzhou Jade Public Auction took first place with a purchase volume of 870 million yuan per year over ten years.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly understood what was going on.
For ordinary stone gamblers, what they care about is naturally whether the value of the jade itself in a stone can generate profit.
But it is different for the jade mine owner, he is more concerned about the sales of the entire jade mine.
Although he didn't spend a penny to acquire this companion stone at the Pingzhou Jade Public Auction, he had to purchase a large amount of raw stones from the mine for ten consecutive years.
870 million a year, that’s 8.7 billion in ten years!
Jadeite from new mines is different from jadeite from old mines. Because people know less about it, its sales are often extremely unstable.
But things are different with this 8.7 billion contract.
It not only guarantees sales in the initial stage of mining, but also promotes the mine at all times, and its impact is absolutely far-reaching.
A piece of companion stone can preserve the sales and reputation of the mine, and the new mine owner will definitely not lose out.
As for the Pingzhou Jade Public Auction, although a large-volume purchase contract was signed, it doesn’t matter whose raw stones it purchases.
Not to mention the profit from the companion stone itself, it is impossible for them to lose money.
As for the buyer, if he spends money to cut a stone that is very likely to increase in value, he will also have a high probability of making money.
Perhaps this is the legendary win-win situation for all three parties!
After the explanation, Tong Santong said without further ado: "Okay, now I declare that the auction of this glass-type imperial green associated stone has officially begun.
The starting price is 10 million! "
Wow!
Even though we know that the starting price of the Pingzhou public auction will definitely not be low, 10 million is still a bit exaggerated, right?
This is not something that ordinary people can bear, including the guests in the VIP seats.
So some familiar stone gamblers began to discuss whether they should join forces to bid.
Joint bidding is also a common way of bidding for jadeite raw stones.
Everyone contributes in proportion, profits are distributed proportionally, and losses can be smaller.
After all, not everyone is like Zhang Xinyuan, who threw in nearly 30 million and remained calm.
Tang Keke smiled and asked Ran Wennian, "Uncle Ran, I'd like to try bidding. Would you like to buy a share?"
Ran Wennian was obviously a little moved, but in the end he shook his head:
"Forget it, it's not easy for me to earn a few coffins with my old arms and legs, but I can't stand the hard work. You young people should just do it by yourselves!"
If it were in the past, Ran Wennian would have participated no matter what.
However, the continuous prediction errors made him almost lose confidence in himself, and he even wondered if he was getting old.
"Is that so?" Tang Keke was a little disappointed.
Suddenly, Ran Wennian said, "Xiao Tang, if you are really interested in this rough stone, there is someone who might be able to cooperate with you."
Tang Keke was stunned: "Who?"
Ran Wennian smiled and said, "It's so far away, yet so close at hand. Didn't you just want to treat them to a meal?"
"That... Fu Song?" Tang Keke turned her head and looked towards a corner of the VIP seats.
At this time, Fu Song was staring at the companion stone on the auction table with a complicated expression.
In fact, the moment the companion stone appeared, a line of words flashed in Fu Song's eyes:
Top-quality Imperial Green rough stone: 1.2 billion. [There's nothing much to say about this good thing; just two words: perfect!]
Is this companion stone really worth more than 1 billion as Yu Shengman said?
In an instant, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Fu Song looked at the auction table again and suddenly felt that what he saw was a little unreal.
That's not right!
A rare treasure that can make me achieve financial freedom has appeared. I should be ecstatic, but why do I feel it is unreal?
But this feeling lingered in his heart.
It was like a chain, tightly entangling Fu Song and making it impossible for him to breathe.
until……
"Hello!" A clear and sweet voice sounded in my ears.
Fu Song turned his head and saw a beautiful face.
Taking a deep breath, Fu Song tried his best to calm himself down: "Ms. Tang, please sit down."
