Chapter 502 Being Questioned (1 update)

The person who came to participate in the auction of Feihua Jewelry this time is the head of Feihua - Tong Youwei, who is of the same generation as Huo Yucen's grandfather.

Now he is almost 70 years old, wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a bracelet in his hand and a jade pendant hanging around his waist. He is energetic and has a strong aura.

At the beginning, Feihua lost to the Huo family in the competition, which made Feihua inferior to Yujin Jewelry for so many years. The old man of the Tong family really couldn't swallow this breath.

Seeing the opportunity to turn things around, the old man of the Tong family personally took action, and must take advantage of the time when Yujin Jewelry encountered a raw material crisis to bring it down in one fell swoop.

Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Master Tong knows this truth very well. Therefore, after getting the news of the auction, he raised funds on the one hand and looked for partners on the other.

It is really hard to say how rich the Huo family is.

Master Tong did not want to gamble, so he pulled in some jewelers with similar strength. However, the categories they deal in are mainly gold and diamonds, which are not much competition with Feihua. In this way, if they work together, the success of the auction will not affect each other.

Until entering the auction venue, Master Tong had contacted six jewelers and formed a seven-member alliance.

Huo Yucen, on the other hand, was alone. It was not that he did not want to find an alliance, but that the current situation of Yujin Jewelry was not suitable for finding an alliance.

Not to mention that Yu Jin Jewelry is surrounded by enemies, even Yu Jin Jewelry itself is more inclined to take down the jade statue independently for the sake of raw material storage.

For this reason, the Huo family not only urgently transferred a large amount of funds, but also temporarily borrowed a bridge fee from an underground money house.

Although the interest rate is very high, if the emperor's green jade statue can be taken down, the high interest rate for a period of time is worth it. If

the bidding fails, the funds will not be used, but can be returned in time.

The decision makers of the Huo family thought very clearly.

Huo Yucen was under a lot of pressure. Such a big matter was still left to him to handle.

The attitude of his family was very clear. Since this matter was handed over to him from the beginning, no matter what happened, no one else would interfere, even if it was a big matter related to the success or failure of the company!

Even Huo Yucen couldn't help but sigh that Grandpa was really brave. Their opponents were there in person!

Huo Yucen didn't know how many times he had pursed his lips. This was really the most stressful time for him. If the bidding failed, if Feihua won the bid for the jade statue, then they, Yu Jin, were destined to be lonely.

"Young man, you're a little late. For such a grand event, Mr. Huo didn't show up, and only let you, a young man, take charge. Mr. Huo is really generous!"

Old Master Tong saw Huo Yucen and teased with a smile.

"I'm too useless, and Grandpa wants me to have more experience. Please show mercy to me in the competition later."

Huo Yucen smiled and greeted, concentrating on dealing with Old Master Tong. This man is really an old fox. If he is not careful, he may really find out something.

"What a pity, I thought I could take this opportunity to get together with Old Huo." Old Man Tong smiled, "Young man, since your grandfather is willing to make such a great sacrifice to give you the opportunity to exercise, how can I be too lenient with you? Competition in the business world is quite cruel."

Does this mean that he will definitely lose today?

Huo Yucen also smiled, "The old people have worked so hard, so we young people should not be lazy. Isn't there a saying that goes, the Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead?"

Old Master Tong paused as he was playing with the beads, his smile deepened, and his cloudy eyes shone with brilliance, "Young people, it's better not to be too arrogant."

The two of them were arguing here, and naturally attracted some people's attention. It can be said that the competition between Feihua Jewelry and Yujin Jewelry at today's auction is also a major attraction.

Feihua Jewelry directly sent out its founder, Mr. Tong, while Yujin Jewelry sent a young man, the third generation of the Huo family.

The old and the young are fighting on the battlefield. Will the old who have experienced the ups and downs of the business world win or will the young who are brave and fearless win?

Everyone has their own ideas.

These ideas were drowned out by the arguments on the other side.

In the venue, a big and strong foreigner spoke Chinese with a strange accent, occasionally with a few English words. He was very excited and his voice was getting more and more intense.

There were so many people present that no one might understand English, but everyone could understand Chinese.

The general meaning was that this foreign businessman was very suspicious of the authenticity of the jade statue at the auction today.

The reason for his suspicion was also very reasonable. The one-meter-high jade statue was all imperial green. How big would this piece of raw material be when it was unearthed?

Even if such a large rough material can be mined from the jade mine, how can the master keep such a large jadeite rough stone when cutting it?

This is almost impossible.

Because when cutting the stone, the master will observe the trend of the rough band on the rough material in advance, and then combine his years of experience to draw a few lines on the rough material, and then use a large stone cutter to cut according to the trend of the lines. Usually

, such a large rough material is basically cut with a big knife and axe, not split from the middle, but cut in large chunks.

Let's put it this way, no matter which master cuts the stone, it is impossible not to cut directly, but to rub the stone bit by bit, along the edge of the rough material.

If such a large piece of rough material is really rubbed off bit by bit, it will take a long time to completely remove the rough material.

And if such a large piece of imperial green is cut out, the rough material itself must be three or four times the size of the jade material, so that it is possible to have such a large piece of jade material after being cut by the stone cutter.

But if you think about it, it is impossible.

If the rough material is really three or four times the size of this jade statue, and it is considered the loss of stone cutting and carving, then this piece of rough material must weigh at least three or four tons!

All the jade mines in Myanmar have not produced such a large and heavy rough material!

If there is any, it is impossible that there is no news at all!

It was obvious that the foreign businessman was also in the jewelry business and was also very fond of jade culture. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know the production conditions of Myanmar's jade mines in such detail!

His attitude was very obvious, questioning the authenticity of the jade statue being auctioned by Li's Auction House today.

With the development of technology, the counterfeiting technology is getting more and more advanced. It is not uncommon for jadeite to be counterfeited.

A few years ago, there was a famous case where the counterfeiting technology of the other party was really at its peak. Even the veteran craftsmen and appraisers who had been immersed in the jewelry industry for decades were deceived.

In the end, professional component testing equipment was used to identify the authenticity.

As soon as Claus's questioning words came out, he immediately stirred the hearts of many guests who came to the scene to bid.
