Back at the hotel, Yan Xiaonan handed the notebook to Ye Wen. Ye Wen quickly opened it and praised with a smile, "Our kid is really amazing. He's selected so many rough stones in just a few hours. I've been around the place several times, and many merchants can't even handle a single stone."
Yan Xiaonan laughed too. Yes, even a stone weighing only a few ounces costs more than 300,000 yuan, and those large raw stones can easily cost millions. We still have to check repeatedly to be at ease.
"Nan Nan, I've taken a look at the 'Bidding Instructions,' but it's all in English. Take a look." Ye Wen handed the instructions to Yan Xiao Nan, who read them and then passed them on to the two children.
“Uncle Wen, we’ll still go with Boss Zhu tomorrow. Please take a lot of bidding forms with you. We’ll fill them out when we get back tomorrow, and we’ll fill in the bid prices on-site,” Yan Xiaonan said.
Ye Wen nodded and then returned to his room. He needed to take a good shower; it was just too hot in Myanmar, and the sweat mixed with dust made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Yan Xiaonan also told Tianru to go take a shower first. She had something to tell Yushu: "Yushu, when it's time to bid, don't write the price in your bid. Just look at the prices other people have written in the box and write a few dollars more than them."
Yu Shu's eyes lit up. Yes, since she could see through things, why not use it? She was really stupid.
Look down and carefully read the instructions, especially the bidding precautions, the bidding item number, the bidding category (open or sealed bid), the quantity and reserve price, the bidding time, and other matters.
The next morning, the group ran into Boss Zhu at the restaurant. As expected, Boss Zhu invited Yan Xiaonan to continue traveling with him, and Yan Xiaonan readily agreed.
“Boss Yan, you left so early yesterday, would you like me to give you a few consultants to help you out?” Zhu Baodi asked after thinking for a moment.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu. I just brought my child here for experience. My uncle has some experience in this area, but I still want to thank you."
Yan Xiaonan quickly refused, as she couldn't let anyone discover her daughter's special abilities.
Zhu Baodi didn't press the matter; he was just being polite. He knew he didn't have enough people to work with, and with so many raw stones, he didn't know how long it would take to see them all.
Upon entering the raw stone site, Ye Wen went to retrieve the bidding documents, while Yan Xiaonan also separated from Zhu Baodi, their consciousness spreading outwards. They went to the same raw stone site as yesterday.
Yu Shu's eyes began to search around, then she shook her head at Yan Xiaonan. They continued walking towards the next plot of land, and just as they got closer, they heard two people talking:
“I said let’s leave. Last year at the public auction, not a single piece of good quality came out of here. This year it’s still the same old stones, so I guess there’s no chance.”
"But I have a feeling there should be meat inside. Maybe I should look again."
"I'm not looking. I really don't understand you. Why come here when there are so many rough stones to look at? I'm leaving now. I'm not going to keep up with your crazy nonsense." After saying that, the man left.
The remaining person didn't care. He first touched the raw stones with his hands, touching them one by one. Before long, his hands had turned blackish-gray.
Yan Xiaonan's consciousness was focused on him. Suddenly, Yu Shu tugged at Yan Xiaonan and said, "Mom, I think this person's hands have special abilities."
Yan Xiaonan immediately tensed up and instinctively hugged the two children tightly to her side. She already knew that the two rough stones that the man had been repeatedly touching contained flesh inside.
Perhaps the man noticed someone watching him, and looked up in Yan Xiaonan's direction. He saw a beautiful woman with two children, smiled kindly, and thought to himself, "She must be some family's young mistress and her children."
Don't ask how that man knew; just look at the clean clothes Yan Xiaonan and Tian Ruyu were wearing. Every merchant who comes here looking for stones, even big bosses, makes themselves dirty.
"Do you also want to see the raw stones here? I've seen them all, goodbye." The man left with a flourish, but inwardly he was pleased, knowing there were still good things here.
Yu Shu walked up and looked at the two stones. Her eyes felt warm. Although they weren't as comfortable as the 5876 stone from yesterday, they were definitely better than the others.
"Tianru, 3345, 3349 black circles, 3109 black and white circles."
Tianru had already opened her notebook and was taking notes based on her sister's dictation.
Yan Xiaonan quickly spoke softly as well:
3345, weighs 30KG, and is priced at one million US dollars.
3349, weighs 25KG, and is priced at 900,000 US dollars.
3109, weighs 55KG, priced at four million US dollars, black and white bezel.
“Mom, we’ve already looked at nearly ten million US dollars worth of rough stones, and we still have seventy million US dollars available,” Tianru said again.
Yan Xiaonan nodded. Her goal was to double the money, or even triple it. The land in Shanghai was going to be demolished in two years, and she would be able to acquire it and develop a supermarket that was exactly the same as the space.
The group slowly left and saw a large group of people gathered around a boulder, discussing something. Not only was Boss Zhu there, but Uncle Wen was also there, and they were listening with great interest.
Yan Xiaonan quickly led her two children over. Such a large rock—could it be this year's top bid?
Sure enough, everyone is saying that this stone is definitely going to be the most expensive lot this year, but the price is so outrageous that no one without enormous financial resources can afford it.
Several businessmen even discussed whether they could jointly acquire the land and split the profits and losses equally, but they still couldn't figure out how to split the profits.
Losing is fine, it's just money. But if you win, everyone wants the rough stone, and with such a big rough stone, the quality of the jade inside will definitely vary. Who wouldn't want the good one?
After much deliberation, they eventually gave up. Those with money would bid, and those without would just watch others bid.
Mr. Zhu was very interested in this rough stone. His advisors and assistants were also touching and looking at the stone from all angles, and every now and then they would shine a flashlight into the stone.
Unfortunately, the stone was too big, and the light couldn't penetrate its shell at all. Yu Shu, taking advantage of her small size, squeezed into the crowd and looked at the stone face to face.
Yan Xiaonan was startled and quickly pulled Tianru in to squeeze in as well. She finally managed to grab Yushu's hand. What if this child got hurt?
Yu Shu blinked several times, then pulled Yan Xiaonan around the stone several times. At first, no one paid attention, but later, seeing two children pulling a young and beautiful woman around the stone, they all became curious.
"Madam, what do you think of this rough stone?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Cannot see through"
Yan Xiaonan spoke the truth.
Everyone nodded in agreement, but they couldn't quite see through it.
