After lunch, Qian Xiaolan went back to the store and stayed for a while. Seeing that the clerks were busy but organized, she felt relieved and told them to find her next door if they had any questions. Then she went next door to act as a guide.
The jewelry exhibition lasted for three days. Qian Xiaolan ran to the next door every day and helped sell some ordinary yet exquisite non-display jewelry.
I also have some friendship with those foreigners.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she sold more than half of the goods in her warehouse.
Grandpa arranged for people to deliver new goods here by water yesterday, and it should arrive in the afternoon.
As for the top-quality imperial green jadeite, it will be displayed on the morning of the third day and auctioned in the afternoon.
That day, Qian Xiaolan walked to the next door and clearly felt that more people were protecting her, both openly and secretly.
The news of this top-quality imperial green gem was released more than four months ago, and foreign collectors and merchants have already been eager to get their hands on it.
Now we are fully prepared.
As for the people in China, no one can come up with such a large sum of money for the auction for the time being. They came here just to join in the fun and gain some experience.
In fact, Qian Xiaolan knew that it was not that no one in the country had the ability to buy such a large piece of jade, but that they did not dare to.
The experiences of the previous ten years have made them afraid. The fear is deep in their bones and cannot be removed in a short time.
Gu Yanqing was ordered to hide in the crowd and observe his surroundings vigilantly.
A three-foot-tall piece of top-quality imperial green jadeite was pushed out of a room escorted by a group of bodyguards.
Before Qian Xiaolan stepped forward, Rong Shijin came towards her and whispered in her ear:
"Brother asked you to protect yourself for a while."
Qian Xiaolan's eyebrows twitched when she heard this.
My eldest cousin is also a charlatan!
Has he figured out something?
Qian Xiaolan did not dare to be careless. She immediately perked up and secretly observed everyone around her.
The appearance of the top-quality imperial green attracted everyone's attention, making it easier for Qian Xiaolan to observe.
She looked at them one by one, and her eyes met Gu Yanqing in the crowd, but she quickly looked away so that no one would notice anything unusual.
Gu Yanqing was in disguise in the afternoon, and she wouldn't have been able to recognize him if she hadn't looked at his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd.
Qian Xiaolan's heart tightened and she turned around immediately.
It was a white lady who got so excited that she rushed too far forward and almost fell down.
She thought it couldn't be such a coincidence, so she stepped forward to ask.
In the end, it was proven that she was overthinking, and she felt relieved.
There were too many people at the scene and there was only one treasure, so Rong Shijun organized everyone to line up and take turns to watch for two minutes.
This greatly reduces the chances of accidents.
Time passed quietly from morning to two in the afternoon.
The auction begins!
Among the exhibits auctioned earlier, except for a few styles designed by senior designers of Rong Group, the rest were almost all given by Qian Xiaolan to Rong Shijun and others.
The craftsmanship of these jewellery items looked almost the same as those from the Ming Dynasty, and since the Rong family could not find their exact provenance, they auctioned them all off.
For example, the gold and silver inlays on that display stand were all brought from Xia Kingdom to Gangcheng, and Rong Shijun did not intend to auction them.
He put those items out today, to put it bluntly, he was showing off.
Look! How great is our Great Xia Kingdom! The ancients more than 2,000 years ago were able to create such difficult handicrafts!
Qian Xiaolan didn't understand anything about auctions, so she didn't try to show off her knowledge. She just sat quietly at the back of the crowd and watched the rich people arguing with each other over something they coveted.
Qian Xiaolan curled her lips, turned her gaze and met Gu Yanqing again.
Just as I looked away, I heard some movement coming from the Plane Mall.
Qian Xiaolan immediately probed her consciousness into the space, "Wife, there are very suspicious people at your eleven o'clock direction, one o'clock direction, five o'clock direction, and six o'clock direction."
Qian Xiaolan's body immediately tensed up.
My goodness, her detection ability is really rubbish. There are so many suspicious people, and she has been watching for so long, but she didn’t find any of them!
The auction of the jadeite began, with the starting price being 30 million Xia country currency, and each increase in price must be no less than 100,000.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone started bidding.
He added three million right away, how generous!
There was no time for Qian Xiaolan to be amazed, as bids were made one after another.
Qian Xiaolan's eyes had to pay attention to the movements of the people around her, and her ears were too busy to handle it. Later, she simply stopped listening and just paid attention to her surroundings.
She just noticed something unusual about a man. Every time someone called out a price, the man at eleven o'clock in front of her would immediately turn his eyes away.
It seemed like he was remembering the guest's appearance or some characteristics.
Qian Xiaolan told Gu Yanqing about this discovery and came to the same conclusion.
There was a lot of interaction at the scene, which pushed the atmosphere to a climax several times.
During this period, Qian Xiaolan noticed something unusual about the man at one o'clock.
"This gentleman has now raised the price to 160 million. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?
Is there any more?
Okay, that’s all, right?
One hundred and sixty million at a time!
One hundred and sixty million twice!
One hundred and sixty million three times!
make a deal!"
With one hammer strike, the transaction was successful!
The bearded gentleman who was bidding the price was invited into a room, and then the piece of top-quality imperial green was taken away.
The jewelry exhibition ended successfully!
But it was only the guests who were ending. For the Rong family, the most troublesome things were still to come.
Rong's Company promised to escort the jade out of customs.
Gu Yanqing was also going to bring people to secretly protect all the foreign guests and ensure their safe departure.
He came here not only because his wife's shop opened, but also because he accepted the task of protecting foreign guests.
The sudden influx of so many foreign guests into the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is a good thing for the country, but it is also a trouble.
No matter what the identities of these foreign guests are in their respective countries, as long as something happens to them, those countries will give them precious identities and then cause trouble for Xia Country.
The Xia Kingdom had just experienced a difficult decade and could not withstand the turmoil of those countries.
So this time, the Xia Kingdom will not only send people to protect these foreign guests openly, but will also secretly dispatch elite troops to protect them.
Qian Xiaolan probably knew that Gu Yanqing had a mission, and she was very worried, but after learning that neither Rong Shijun nor Gu Yanqing wanted her to get involved in this, she had to return to the next store full of worry.
There were more customers in the store at this time, and several shop assistants were so busy that they had no time to rest. Then a large number of foreign guests came in, and they were completely busy. Qian Xiaolan had no time to think about what was happening there anymore.
Fortunately, when Rong Shijun was recruiting store clerks for her, he took into consideration that the store would frequently receive foreign guests in the future, so the employees he recruited were more or less able to understand English or communicate with others in a simple way.
Otherwise, I don’t know how chaotic the store would be by now!
