"The item being auctioned now is Ming No. 3 Stone, provided by Ruifeng Garden, with a starting price of 200 million!"
The numbers of the stones are getting higher and higher, and the starting prices are getting higher and higher.
The stone has just been given time for everyone to check, so now the host is holding the stone's number.
The auction is divided into two parts, hidden bet and open bet.
The piece of purple jade that Li Yalin wanted was just a piece of stone with a smooth surface. It was a rare waste stone. Many people thought that jadeite could be mined from it. Just as Shi Yanning and others had taken a look at it, the auction began.
If Shi Yanning hadn't shown any reaction to the jade pendant, he would have thought that the quality and quality of the jade pendant meant that the sales rate was extremely high.
The auction went on quickly, and soon it was number 2, which was bought by the old man Shi Yanning had just met for eight million.
The auction hall ranked people according to seniority in the gambling stone industry, and thanks to Li Yalin, Shi Yanning and Ye Zheng sat in the first row, right next to the old man's table.
Tang Yuqing randomly chose a seat at the back.
The old man saw that the table where Yan Ning was sitting was the Bai's Jewelry table, and the people at the table were all young people. But as far as he knew, Mr. Bai had only one daughter, who gave birth to an heir.
When Shi Yanning saw the old man, he nodded, and the people at the two tables smiled at each other.
"The next is stone No. 1. I'm sure everyone has seen it. The piece exposed in this window is purple jadeite. And according to the speculation of many experts, this stone is very likely a large piece of purple jadeite.
The starting price is six million.”
Once this price was announced, a small number of people in the venue lost the desire to compete and were no longer qualified to bid.
Shi Yanning glanced at the picture. The colors were brilliant and it looked very extraordinary, if you hadn’t touched it yourself.
Seeing that his target had already come on the field, Li Yalin directly bid: "Ten million."
His psychological estimate was 60 million.
"Boom~" The people in the venue were shocked by Li Yalin's move. Ten million was directly doubled.
However, soon, other bosses who were interested in this stone came to bid for it.
"Twelve million."
"I'll give you 13 million."
Shi Yanning didn't know whether he should remind him or not. After all, this was Ye Zheng's good brother and he had taken good care of him when he came to Yun Province.
Li Yalin held up the sign calmly: "Sixteen million."
The venue was somewhat quiet for a while.
“Twenty million.”
Shi Yanning breathed a sigh of relief, and the attention of several people was also attracted.
The person who was bidding was also in the first row, just two tables away from theirs.
"Twenty million? Is this stone really worth it?"
Jin Ling'er had seen everyone gambling on stones this morning, but some were betting millions, and the largest was only five million.
With 20 million like this, there was a moment of silence at the scene, and everyone was discussing who had just spoken.
Everyone knows who has emerged in the domestic jewelry and jade industry, but they have never seen this person.
Although he looks like everyone else, he feels a little weird.
Li Yalin was also looking at the man who was dressed a little strangely. The man nodded politely to several people.
His eyes fell on Shi Yanning who was standing beside him. He had noticed this smart and beautiful Chinese woman just now at the meeting place.
The nodding movement was stiff, is he Japanese? !
Shi Yanning didn't expect that there would be Japanese people here. Did they start collecting jadeite?
Jade is more expensive than diamonds in later generations and its value is immeasurable.
Li Yalin immediately thought of the target of this operation. It was said that the Japanese were behind it.
This man's eyes are so dirty, he must be a Japanese.
Li Yalin began to look for Xu Gang and his companions quietly, but found nothing.
Shi Yanning noticed it and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Li Yalin shook his head and said it was okay.
However, he didn't know that the person at the meeting was Ishimoto's eldest son, Noko, who had come to China with his father to buy some new and interesting things.
This was the first time he attended a stone auction in Yunnan Province, but he also paid a high price to ask about the value of the stone.
He had seen countless things, but a God-given treasure like this one was irresistible.
He must take it back to his country!
. . . . . .
In the minds of Li Yalin and Ye Zheng, such stones would naturally not be given to foreigners.
So Li Yalin directly raised the price by 10 million.
The price came to 30 million.
The old man next to him was well-informed and guessed the man's identity. He thought for a moment and said, "Forty million."
The man nodded politely and increased the price by another 10 million.
The old man at the next table raised the price: "Sixty million."
Gradually, the prices got higher and higher, and the atmosphere in the venue became lower and lower.
In the end, the old man was defeated first, and the price stopped at 85 million.
This number is not a small number even for a first-rate family or a jewelry company. It may be all the liquid funds that can be taken out.
In the 1980s, it was an astronomical figure. If Li Yalin really bought it, the loss would be...
"No." It's totally unnecessary to fight for a useless stone just for such a breath of air.
Shi Yanning put a word on the snacks at the venue and raised his hand to pull Li Yalin's sleeve.
Li Yalin looked at Shi Yanning, his eyes full of struggle. He was unwilling to give such a stone treasure to the Japanese.
Shi Yanning didn't know how to persuade her, so she anxiously pulled Li Yalin's hand and wrote on her open palm.
Seeing that no one in the venue dared to bid with him, the young Japanese man's face was full of pride and contempt.
"Everything in China is beautiful, including this gem."
Li Yalin felt the soft little fingertips sliding across her palm, as if being brushed by a feather.
His heart trembled, and other people who were paying attention to Li Yalin also noticed it. When they saw that Shi Yan Ning wanted to persuade Li Yalin to give up, anger flashed across their faces.
"What is this woman doing? The jade produced in our country is now being taken away by foreigners, and she is trying to stop it?!"
"Mr. Li, if the funds are insufficient, I, Huanxi Pavilion, can transfer my gift card to you."
"Mr. Li, my Treasure Pavilion gift card will also work."
Seeing this, the old man pondered for a while and said, "I still have 90 million here. I can decide to give you the 40 million gift card."
Now, the Japanese man Ishimoto on the side became even more arrogant. He liked to watch these ants struggling and resisting the most.
"How about it? Ninety million. If you don't bid, then this piece of stone is mine."
Shi Yanning was sitting in the first row in the middle, so she naturally heard some people insulting her.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not certain whether this stone is good or not."
When Tang Yuqing saw Shi Yanning being slandered, he immediately stood up and spoke.
Li Yalin looked at Shi Yanning deeply again. There was disapproval in the woman's eyes. Although so many people scolded her behind her back and even called her a traitor, she still insisted.
"I abstain."
Li Yalin raised his right hand slightly, his left hand was still on Shi Yanning. He seemed to enjoy someone worrying about him.
Shi Yanning didn't expect that Li Yalin would trust her judgment and open the other piece she had bought and give it to him later.
