The next day, Su Yan and her group followed Yan Shirong to the largest public auction in Naypyidaw. The auction lasted for ten days. Every year, it attracted jewelers and stone gambling enthusiasts from all over the world to participate.
On the first day, Yan Shirong took them to register. In order to have a greater chance of taking a photo, Su Yan asked Xie Huashan to register as well.
After entering the inner area and looking at the huge crowds of stone gambling enthusiasts, Su Yan asked Yan Shirong, "Are there always so many people at every auction?"
"No, it's a 280-jin piece of old Mu Na material unearthed from the old pit of Mowanji at the end of last year. Judging from the skin, it has the potential to produce top-grade imperial green. This piece of covered material may be the highest bidder in this auction."
"The highest bidder? What's the reserve price?"
"That's four million Chinese yuan."
The reserve price was four million, which was a very high starting price in the 1980s. She didn't know how much it would be sold for in the end, but she decided to go and take a look.
Normally the winning bidder will wait until the last two days to start bidding, so it looks like I’ll have to stay here for an extra week this time.
She believes in her experience and golden fingers, and as long as good raw materials appear, she will definitely seize the opportunity.
On the first day, Su Yan was not in a hurry to invest. She knew that gambling on stones was not like playing house, and she had to look at the rough materials over and over again.
She looked at the raw materials piece by piece, first carefully observing the skin, color, texture, site and other characteristics of the raw materials with the naked eye, then detecting it with a flashlight. If she found something she liked, she would use her mental power to detect the internal structure, water head, soil and other conditions of the raw materials.
You must not be impatient to choose a piece of raw material of suitable price and in large quantity from thousands of pieces of raw materials of different sizes.
Just as she left the tenth piece of raw material, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Her eyes stopped at a piece of yellow sand fur material next to her. Xie Huashan stood behind Su Yan and whispered, "Sister Yan, the starting price of this piece is 880,000, and it's only 58 kilograms."
Su Yan hummed, shone the flashlight on the raw stone, and found a hint of green light inside.
Could it be imperial green inside?
She checked repeatedly with a flashlight, touched the skin with her hands, and finally used her mental power to detect it.
Maybe it was because she had consumed some mental energy today, but at first she felt chaos and confusion. But as she persisted, gradually, some blurry images began to appear in her mind.
A green light, a bright and dazzling green. And it is full green, the flesh is full, the water head is full and there are no cracks.
A surge of ecstasy surged in her heart, she knew what she had discovered, it was a piece of bright green jadeite, only slightly lighter than imperial green, if she took a picture of it she would really make a fortune.
Su Yan tried her best to calm herself down and instructed Xie Huashan beside her, "Xiao Xie, please register the number of this material."
"Sister Yan, this rough stone doesn't look as good as the other ten, and its skin is a little bit chipped."
"Xiao Xie, don't be offended by the flakes. In fact, flakes are the best-looking jadeite in terms of surface quality. Most high-quality ice and glass jadeite come from flakes. Okay, register first."
"Ah? Is that so? No wonder the price is so high. I wonder how much it will cost to get it?"
This piece of sanded material was going to be auctioned, so Su Yan asked Xie Huashan to mark it with a notebook first, so as not to miss it during the auction.
Yan Jun smiled and walked forward, "Boss Su, don't just look at the red-label rough stones here!
"There's a bunch of white-label goods over there. Do you think we can find any bargains there? You know, Brother Jing and I only have 200,000 yuan each to play with."
There is generally no reserve price for white label raw stones. Most of them are calculated by kilogram, and the price by kilogram can be negotiated with the boss.
There might be nothing in those white label raw stones, but I didn’t expect that these two people were also looking for a bargain.
Okay, let’s take them to pick up some bargains first.
They first came to a pile of raw stones priced at 60 yuan per kilogram. Su Yan said directly: "You guys pick first. Once you've made your selection, we'll study it together."
After looking around, I didn't find any materials that were worth money. After all, the materials in front of me had already been screened by the seller's jade appraiser. They were not very worthwhile to bet on, and it was rare to get valuable jadeite.
"You'd better not buy this pile since it's so cheap. Look, not many people are coming. Let's go to the front and take a look."
Su Yan brought Yan Jun and his group to the 381 kilograms of raw stone. She casually scanned it with her mental power and found that it was indeed much better than the pile of material just now.
That piece was only the size of a man's fist, and the Mu Na patina was still sand-free. Using mental power to detect it, it was ice-type with floating flowers, which was very good, but the original stone was a little small.
Su Yan picked up the small piece of wood and placed it in Xie Huashan's hand with a smile, "Hold it for me first, and I'll go to pay the bill later."
Yan Jun stretched out his hand and said, "Can you let me see it?"
"Look!"
Yan Jun took the stone from Xie Huashan and looked at it with a flashlight. "This one is good. It's an icy material. I don't know if it will become sticky inside. It should be enough to make two bracelets."
Chen Jing remembered that he hadn't bought a bracelet for his mother yet, so he simply picked out a similar one, took a look at it, and prepared to accept it.
"Boss Su, this one of mine should be OK too!"
Su Yan used her mental power to detect and found that the outer layer of ice skin was actually a glutinous substance.
"Chen Jing, I think we should count it as one!"
Chen Jing had just put the stone down when Gao Huixian picked it up. "Sister Yan, this piece of leather looks similar to yours! It's only a little over four pounds, and it's starting to grow in weight. It's just enough to make a bracelet for my mother-in-law and my mother."
Su Yan just smiled, and Chen Jing frowned, "Let Boss Su help us pick one."
Gao Huixian said, "Brother Jing, I'll buy this material."
