Chapter 1084 Ma Jingshan
"Twenty-nine and a half million star dollars." Dongfang Ziyu shouted.
"Thirty million star dollars." Gu Ning shouted.
Thirty million. Dongfang Ziyu gave up because her bottom line was thirty million. And seeing that Gu Ning didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, if she continued to bid, the price would get higher and higher.
Although she wanted this top-quality jadeite very much, she didn't know whether the size of the jadeite inside was worth the price. This was 30 million star dollars, not 30 million Dipu Dongxia United Kingdom coins! No one was following. After a few seconds, the host spoke: "30 million star dollars, is there anyone following? 30 million star dollars, is there anyone following..."
No one responded. Finally, the host said, "30 million star dollars once, 30 million star dollars twice, 30 million star dollars three times. OK, deal. A-122 won the bid for the No. 1 rough material."
Thus, Gu Ning won the bid for the first piece.
Gu Ning spent 204 million coins of the United Kingdom of Emperor Pu Dongxia to buy a piece of top-quality old-pit glass worth 500 million, which was about the same as expected.
Then comes the rough material No. 2. Rough material No. 2 is also semi-transparent, a medium to high-quality water-type jadeite, weighing 50 kilograms, but the pieces inside are not big.
Therefore, Gu Ning did not plan to bid.
The No. 3 rough material is a dark material. There is jade inside, but it is just ordinary jade, so Gu Ning did not bid.
In the open auction, Gu Ning only looked at the top-quality and best jadeite, so she let others bid for the jadeite below the upper-middle quality. Because the semi-open raw materials would be called for a very high price, even if she bid for it, she would not make much money.
Of course, if the price of top-quality and top-grade semi-transparent materials is too high and not worth it to her, Gu Ning will not want them. She has no shortage of jadeite now, so she can give up those that do not make much money.
Because Gu Ning did not bid, after more than a dozen auctions, Dongfang Ziyu got two pieces of semi-transparent rough materials of top-quality jadeite. However, the pieces were not very big, and although the price was not a loss, she would not make much profit.
What Gu Ning didn't know was that cultivators could also use the spiritual energy of jade to practice, so she thought that Dongfang Ziyu or their family were also in the jewelry business.
Without Zi Beiying's obstruction, Minamino Hideichi also won the bid for two semi-transparent pieces of medium-quality jadeite.
Because this is a formal auction, Zi Beiying can't do anything rash.
There were not many good hidden materials, and the slightly better ones were also priced high. Gu Ning felt it was not worth it, so he didn't order any.
Although there are many good jadeites in the open auction, especially semi-transparent ones, there are also many people bidding for semi-transparent ones and the prices are high, because most of the people who come here to participate in the auction are not short of money.
When it came to the eighteenth hidden material, Gu Ning took a fancy to it. It was a top-grade spring-colored jadeite, weighing thirty kilograms. The base price was one hundred thousand star yuan, and the minimum increase was one hundred thousand star yuan at a time.
Because it is a dark material, the probability of getting green is lower than the price, so the price is also relatively low.
But as time went by, the amount reached millions of star dollars.
At the beginning, Gu Ning still didn't call out, and everyone started bidding. After the price reached two million star dollars, the number of bidders gradually decreased.
When the bid reached three million, there were only two or three people left.
When it reached 3.6 million, no one followed, and then Gu Ning spoke up: "3.7 million star dollars."
"Three million eight hundred thousand star dollars."
"Three million nine hundred thousand stars."
“······”
"Four million two hundred thousand star dollars." Gu Ning shouted.
When some people saw Gu Ning bidding, they followed suit for a few rounds, but they eventually gave up. After all, it was hidden information and not as safe as making it public.
Then, Gu Ning got hold of this secret material.
After a few more, when there were fewer people bidding for a semi-transparent piece of top-quality jadeite, Gu Ning also bid.
Then, someone else followed, and when the time was almost right, the other party didn't give up, so Gu Ning gave up.
Only when it came to the secret information, there was less competition with Gu Ning, and in the end, Gu Ning always won.
The auction was divided into the first half and the second half. Fifty items were auctioned in the first half, which took almost two hours. Then there was a half-hour break before the second half began.
Among these fifty rough materials, half were semi-clear materials and half were dark materials, and none of them were unsold.
In the first half of the auction, Gu Ning won three and a half visible materials and three hidden materials. Among the bidders, he gained the most and the most valuable ones.
Dongfang Ziyu obtained four and a half clear materials, three of top grade and one of medium to upper grade.
Hideichi Minamino got three and a half pieces of material, all of which were of medium quality.
Zhang Dequan got one and a half explicit materials and two implicit materials.
Zhao Yuefeng got one piece of semi-explicit information and one piece of cryptic information.
The rest were caused by other people.
Because there are many people and little raw material, it is considered good if one person can get more than two.
During the half-hour break, the organizers provided tea, snacks and fruits, which everyone could get from the restaurant next door.
Because the people who come to the auction are big bosses and wealthy people, the quality of the food and drinks is also high-end.
As soon as the show was over, Zhang Dequan, Zhao Yuefeng and others walked towards Gu Ning and greeted each other without saying much, especially about the auction. After all, this was a sensitive topic and if it was considered as spying, the relationship would be ruined.
At this time, Ma Jingshan also walked towards Gu Ning, followed by the Ma family.
Zhang Dequan, Zhao Yuefeng and Ma Jingshan are all old acquaintances, especially Zhang Dequan, who is from the Jade Association with Ma Jingshan. Although one is from the Provincial Jade Association and the other is from the Municipal Jade Association, they are from the same unit and often have exchange meetings, so they are relatively familiar with each other.
Zhao Yuefeng was engaged in jewelry business and attended many jewelry chambers of commerce. Participants of jewelry chambers of commerce were nothing more than jewelry merchants and experts from jade associations, so Zhao Yuefeng and Ma Jingshan met at the chambers of commerce many times.
Moreover, Zhao Yuefeng often visited several raw material producing cities in Yunnan Province and had been to the Ma family's raw material shop. He had met Ma Jingshan several times in the shop and the two had exchanged a lot of knowledge about raw materials, so Zhao Yuefeng was no stranger to Ma Jingshan.
"Chairman Ma." Zhang Dequan, Zhang Bingsheng and Zhao Yuefeng all greeted Ma Jingshan.
"Haha! Old Zhang, Boss Zhao." Ma Jingshan was not a person who put on airs. Instead, he was very casual and friendly. Then his eyes fell on Gu Ning and he smiled politely, "Hello, Miss Gu. I am Ma Jingshan, the vice president of the Yun Province Jade Association. I can see that you have made great achievements in gambling on jade. I wonder if we can be friends! If there is a chance, we can learn from each other."
Ma Jingshan did not mean to look down on Gu Ning just because of her young age, because he had long seen that although Gu Ning was young, her behavior was mature and steady, not at all in line with her age, and she acted like a successful person.
"President Ma, you are too polite. It is my honor to be friends with you." Gu Ning said calmly and generously.
