To show their sincerity, the law enforcement team volunteered to lead the way and personally escorted them to the hotel before leaving. Zhu Baojun expressed his gratitude profusely, which gave the law enforcement team members immense satisfaction.
Yan Xiaonan didn't say anything, just calmly watched everything in front of her. After the law enforcement team left, she said goodbye to Zhu Baojun and the others, and then took her family into her room.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, they will all bid according to the regulations, but Yan Xiaonan has decided that all the winning rough stones will not be cut on the spot in the future. Besides, if none of them are sold now, it will inevitably offend many jewelers.
Moreover, in a few years, the price of these jadeite pieces will definitely be several times higher than it is now. She can simply wait and see, and make her move when the jewelry industry reaches its peak again.
Zhu Baodi was terrified when he received a call from his younger brother. What they feared most was this kind of planned robbery, which would be a tragic waste of time and effort. Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound in the end, but what was the deal with that green pen?
The clever Zhu Baodi squinted his eyes, and it seemed as if little Yu Shu appeared before him. On that flawless white face, there were a pair of bright, expressive eyes that seemed to speak, and a magical green calligraphy brush appeared beside those eyes.
Ye Yushu, could it be that you controlled this magic pen? Or are you a fairy who flew over the nine heavens and accidentally fell to the mortal world?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Zhu Baodi is determined to curry favor with Yan Xiaonan's family, especially with the young girl Ye Yushu. If he can make her his daughter-in-law, hehehe, Zhu Baodi is ready to work hard.
On the sixth day, which was the second day of the bidding, Yan Xiaonan used the same trick again. The rough stone 3109, weighing 55KG, was priced at four million US dollars. The black and white circle rough stone was still given to Tianru and Ye Wen to bid.
The rough stones 3345, weighing 30KG, were priced at US$1.1 million; 3349, weighing 25KG, were priced at US$900,000; and 201, weighing 500KG and priced at US$2 million, were bid on by Yan Xiaonan and Yu Shu.
The two were on high alert, one holding the tender documents and a pen, the other staring intently at the corresponding bid box. With three minutes left, Yu Shu spoke.
"Mom, 3345, one million three hundred and fifty thousand US dollars."
Yan Xiaonan quickly wrote down ———— and then threw it into the bid box.
"3349, one million two hundred thousand US dollars." After saying that, he ran towards container number 201.
Yan Xiaonan quickly wrote ———— on the bid form, threw it into the bid container, and then ran towards bid container number 201.
"Mom, 201, four million two hundred thousand US dollars," Yu Shu said anxiously.
For some unknown reason, Yan Xiaonan did not listen to Yu Shu this time, but instead wrote down 80,000 US dollars more than Yu Shu had said.
Just as she submitted her bid, another bid was submitted within five seconds. Yu Shu's face turned pale; she had already seen that the newly submitted bid was for US dollars.
She was about to ask Yan Xiaonan to submit another bid, but the bid box lid was taken away after it was closed. Yu Shu glared at the bidder resentfully, while the bidder returned the smug smile.
Yan Xiaonan left with Yu Shu, but her consciousness continued to extend to a range of several dozen meters around her. The new person she had thrown in was a jeweler who had been scolded by Zhu Baodi yesterday.
Could it be that one of them understands lip reading and saw Yu Shu speak? It seems that they have been targeted. However, Yan Xiaonan is not afraid at all. If all else fails, he can imprison the person in his own space. Anyway, the rooms for imprisoning people are still empty.
When the two walked to a secluded place, Yu Shu couldn't help but shed tears. That stone, number 201, was full of yellow jadeite, and yellow jadeite made up about 80% of the entire stone. It was taken away by someone for a difference of 50,000 US dollars.
Yan Xiaonan smiled and whispered something in Yu Shu's ear. Yu Shu's eyes widened. "Mom wrote eight on the last digit. That means it's three dollars more than that person's. Oh, those lovely three dollars."
After the group gathered, they walked towards the large screen, waiting for the notification of the successful bids. Unexpectedly, a warning came from the loudspeaker: some of the jewelry merchants who had won the bids yesterday had not yet signed the "Winning Bid Contract" with the organizing committee.
They were probably participating in this kind of public auction for the first time, and they mistook the reserve price for Chinese currency. When they realized it later, they were terrified, as they would have to pay six to seven times more money than before. To avoid the loss, they decided to skip the bidding altogether.
Once someone reneges on a bid, they will be blacklisted and banned from participating again for more than three years. But compared to the huge losses, three years is fine.
Yan Xiaonan sighed inwardly. Making money really wasn't easy. One wrong move and you could lose everything. Luckily, Yu Shu had special abilities with her eyes, otherwise she would never have gotten involved in this business.
The first winning bidder to appear on both the screen and the speaker was bidder number 201. As the bid number appeared, Yan Xiaonan located the jewelers and gave them a smug smile.
Those people immediately turned pale. The little girl clearly said 4.2 million, so how could there be an extra 80,000? If they had known that, they should have written an extra 100,000 instead of being so stingy.
However, the other group on the team was secretly pleased. This huge rock, riddled with cracks, was going to cost them over four million yuan – it was outrageous!
It's best if someone buys it now, so that if I go back and find a bunch of junk, I won't only get scolded by my boss, but also be ridiculed by my peers.
Tianru suddenly jumped up with joy. It turned out that his number 3109 had also won the bid. His approach was similar to Yan Xiaonan's. The starting price was four million, but he directly wrote down six million and one hundred thousand.
Zhu Baodi smiled bitterly. He originally thought that with his asking price of six million, he had the stone in the bag, but he missed out on the stone by just one yuan.
"Boss Yan, you really have a good way of raising your son. You added two million US dollars on a whim, that's quite bold. And you even paid just one dollar more in a second. I'm completely impressed." Zhu Baodi bowed to Yan Xiaonan.
Yan Xiaonan quickly stepped aside and said, "It's all thanks to my grandfather; he raised both of these children."
When Ye Ren is mentioned, Zhu Baodi has nothing to say. Look at his children, whether it is Ye Huili, Ye Huiguo or Ye Chenming, they all occupy a place in the literature and scientific research of Xia Kingdom.
"We pay our respects to Elder Ye and will learn from him," Zhu Baodi said respectfully.
