Although some stones exceeded some people's expectations, they were only slightly higher. Of course, there were also some that did not win the bid, but they were a minority.
However, when you add up these prices and values, why does it feel like the boss is trying to empty my wallet?
The store has now expanded to two provinces, both of which are first-tier cities where the powerful and some businessmen have money.
Nowadays, because of the influence from the West, some men and women who are engaged or married will go into the store to choose jewelry as a gift for their partner or for an engagement ceremony.
However, young women mostly like purple jade or pink jade, which are colorless and transparent.
Those heavy jades were sold to wealthy ladies or high-ranking officials, but as soon as the jades in their store came on the market, they became the leading jewelry store in the province with its excellent water content, color and quality.
In the bizarre, extravagant world of the upper class, money is no longer a scarce resource for those who live in it.
They possess wealth that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and their material life is extremely luxurious. Therefore, money is no longer important to them.
However, despite this, what these people pursue deep in their hearts has never changed - that is their own face.
Face, this seemingly illusory concept, is more precious than gold in the eyes of the upper class.
Because it not only symbolizes a person's status and identity, but is also the key to their ability to hold their heads high and attract attention in social situations.
Among the many ways to show face, the value of jewelry has undoubtedly become one of the most intuitive and effective measurement standards.
A priceless jewelry necklace or a dazzling diamond ring can instantly make the wearer the focus of everyone's attention.
When they appear at various high-end social events, the dazzling jewelry they wear are like the brightest stars in the night sky, attracting the attention of everyone around them.
These expensive jewels are not just decorations, they are more like a flag, silently declaring to the world the owner's dignity and extraordinaryness.
Their Yuningxuan specializes in high-end jade and also accepts private customization.
Gifts are indispensable in social interactions, and there is only one word to describe gifts: exquisite!
The more precious the item, the better; the rarer the item, the better!
For things like jade Guanyin, jade Buddha, and some ornaments, as long as the material is good, money is never a problem.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuqing quickly counted the money he brought this time and saw how much he had left.
"Boss, I still have 80 million yuan with me this time, which is less than 100 million yuan. I'm afraid we won't be able to get the King Stone."
"Since we are not destined to be together, then don't force it. Buy some other stones or keep some for working capital, isn't that okay?"
Shi Yanning nodded lightly, as if he was talking to Tang Yuqing, or to Wang Bai and others around him who were eager to try.
The senior appraiser of Bai’s Jewelry also came to Myanmar on behalf of Chairman Bai this time. For some reasons, the young master did not come.
"Comrade Shi, what do you mean by this? Are you hinting at something?"
These people are all shrewd people. They will speculate on every word you say. What's more, they have all witnessed Shi Yanning's vision and ability in gambling on stones in the past two days.
If, in their opinion, such a stone is worth hundreds of millions, but in her opinion, it is not worth forcing, then the meaning behind this has to be carefully considered.
What does the so-called "force" mean? Is it because this stone is so priceless and precious beyond imagination that those shops with shallow foundations and insufficient strength are simply unable to bid for it?
Or is there some other unknown reason hidden in it?
Perhaps this stone is protected by some mysterious power, and it is difficult for ordinary people to own it even if they want to; or perhaps it carries a shocking past, so that the owner must have special conditions or fate to be connected with it.
However, the higher-ups clearly said, "No spirits are allowed after the founding of the country."
"Could it be? Comrade Ning thinks this stone is not real?"
Qin Shi's voice was not loud, but there were Chinese people around him and they were sitting close, so they could hear it clearly.
"Old Qin," This is impossible! The leader invited hundreds of appraisers to appraise this stone.
"Yes, Comrade Shi has indeed had a good eye along the way and has not made any mistakes. However, this is a stone worth hundreds of millions. The leader attaches great importance to it and has summoned hundreds of appraisal masters to appraise it."
Sun Changxi thought for a while and said.
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes." Wang Bai took a sip of tea and said lightly.
After dispelling everyone's inquiries and curiosity, Shi Yanning slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She did not say that the stone was worthless.
"Everything depends on fate. We at Yu Ning Xuan are not strong enough. After buying these stones, we will no longer compete with everyone."
Shi Yanning spoke sincerely, and several bosses felt it. First, our Yuningxuan is not very strong, but it is not small either, because we focus elsewhere. Second, we do not compete and will not raise prices arbitrarily, so you can rest assured.
Several old seniors were satisfied to hear such young juniors speaking in this way.
In the following period, Shi Yanning won more than 20 bids in a row, and each bid would cost hundreds of thousands. Obviously, in addition to the entrance fee, Shi Yanning and Tang Yuqing of Yuningxuan had spent nearly 50 million.
Everyone congratulated them and several senior colleagues were also happy. After all, it seemed that what Shi Yanning had said just now was true. They had lost a strong competitor. How could they not be happy?
The next step is to cut the stone on site. After all, not everyone is willing to bring large pieces of raw material back home.
Many people are already impatiently waiting for the surprise to come.
Most of the jade lovers bought some small rough stones, and the venue next door was filled with rows of stone-cutting masters who cut the stones for everyone on the spot.
It is human nature to watch the fun. Tang Yuqing and Shi Yanning discussed it and finally decided to release the stone No. 58 that was bought for two million US dollars, because this time they had another purpose, which was to make Yuningxuan famous internationally!
With the help of the gathering of jewelry tycoons and jade tycoons from all over the world, Yuningxuan was brought to the forefront and made well-known!
After all, such an opportunity is rare, and out of selfishness, it cannot be missed.
Shi Yanning asked him to have someone move the stone over. Shi Yanning looked at it normally and felt that among all of them, the one he gave him the strongest feeling.
Ma Gui also had the same idea and moved out the stones that he and Zhang Guowei liked and cut them on the spot.
