Chapter 8 Intense Bidding
The first dozen auction items were all in first-class quality, but inside they were a complete mess of rubbish.
Open the window and the rough stone looks green or ice, but inside it is full of intermittent cracks and rough bean seeds, not even waxy seeds. Spending that kind of money to bid is purely a gift to a boy.
The grade of raw jadeite, from worst to best, is usually broken stone, bean type, waxy type, ice type, glass type. If divided by color, the colorless one is the worst, green is the most respected, red is the second, yellow and
Purple also has the best quality, and as for gray and black, it is even called trash by the industry.
The final price of the auction is usually three to five times the reserve price.
That is, if the auction item has a base price of one thousand, it often takes three to five thousand to get it.
A few auction items that look too good, or that are highly competitive, can command a premium of eight to ten times.
For auction items with a premium of eight or ten times, either the bidder is out of his mind or has money and willfulness.
A poor person like Xiao Xingyun who only wants to make money would never do such a thing.
The first auction item he took a fancy to was number 54, with a base price of 9,000 yuan. He suggested that Fatty Luo choose the cheaper one because the quality of the other item he picked was too poor and he would only lose money if he bought it.
The rough jadeite he selected had no windows, weighed 6.8 kilograms, and had a dark appearance with some brown in it. The appraiser was not optimistic about it, so he placed a price of 9,000 yuan.
Therefore, Xiao Xingyun took action.
On the big screen, a three-dimensional image of this raw jadeite stone appeared, as well as some close-ups of detailed pictures.
The auctioneer tried his best to introduce the advantages of this rough stone, and the appraiser's comments were all about choosing a piece of rough stone. Whether you want to buy it or not is your own business.
"The base price is nine thousand, and each increase in price shall not be less than one thousand, or an integral multiple of one thousand. Start bidding now. Just enter the amount directly on the auction machine. You can also directly press the plus sign key to add one thousand each time.
You can hold it down and the amount will keep increasing."
Xiao Xingyun entered 20,000 for the first time.
After pressing Confirm, the relevant information will be displayed immediately on the large screen.
VIP 421 bid 20,000.
Subsequently, the price was exceeded instantly.
VIP 19, bid 30,000.
VIP 336, bid thirty-three thousand.
Only the number of the temporary winner will be displayed on the big screen. The one with the lowest bid will be passed directly, but a new amount can be added at any time.
Modern bidding is much more convenient than the previous bidding with placards.
Of course, the most important types of bidding are still traditional bidding methods, such as land bidding.
After that, people started to join the bidding, but after the price exceeded 40,000, fewer people participated in the bidding.
Xiao Xingyun was chasing after him step by step. He was bound to get this piece of jade.
"The current highest price is 48,000. Is there any VIP bid higher than this? Count down the ten seconds. If no one raises the price, the deal will be completed. If someone raises the price, it will be automatically extended for ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight..."
This price was entered by Xiao Xingyun, and his heart was beating wildly as the time went by.
This was his first time bidding for a rough jade stone, and the center area of this rough stone was a green, crystal clear, at least ice-type green jade. Green jade of this quality has its own name, called imperial green.
Of course, looking at jadeite with a clairvoyant eye may not be the same as looking at it with the naked eye, and it may not reach the quality of imperial green, but it is not far behind.
Based on the pricing of imperial green quality in today's market, if this rough jadeite stone were cut, even if the core area was smaller, it would be worth about 20 million.
Xiao Xingyun didn't have to compete for other rough stones, but for this one, he spent all his money to compete.
In brackets, within 330,000.
If it exceeds 330,000, he really has no choice.
Of course, the other jadeite he marked also had a few good small pieces, but compared with this one, they were not even a little bit worse.
"...Three, two, one...Okay, congratulations to the distinguished guest No. 421, this jade rough stone belongs to you. After paying at the auctioneer, you can go to the display area at any time to retrieve your rough jade stone. Of course, you can also
Finally, go through the formalities together, we provide free delivery service here, only in this city."
Xiao Xingyun paid the money at the auction machine, but was not in a hurry to take the goods because he still had more than 200,000 left and tried to spend it all today.
This is a huge gamble in his life and an opportunity to turn around.
Fatty Luo next to him said nervously: "Xiao Yunzi, you really dare to take action. That piece of rough stone is black and looks like a lump of coal. It looks like garbage at first glance. How dare you take it? It's nearly 50,000 yuan, which is enough for me.
I went to the club fifty times."
"Based on my feeling, I felt that this piece would rise sharply, so I took action. Well, it's your turn now. I won't be able to bid for it for a while." The other pieces that Xiao Xingyun is optimistic about are numbered in the middle, and they won't be able to get their turn for a while.
.
As for numbers 92 and 167 that he recommended to Fatty Luo, their turn would come in about ten minutes.
Because there are so many items participating in the auction today, the auction speed is very fast. During this period, the auctioneer also works hard to sell ten hidden-marked rough stones, which is the grand finale of this auction.
It is said that there is also an on-site stone removal process. Of course, this is not certain. After all, stone removal is very time-consuming. In the middle of the night, not many people can persist until the last stage.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
After a while, we finally arrived at No. 92. This was a piece of raw jade with a half-open window. The color was wrong, it was gray and had large bean seeds. A bracelet of this quality could not be sold for even two hundred dollars.
Therefore, even though the rough stone weighed five or six kilograms, the reserve price was only two thousand yuan, and it was not taken seriously. The auctioneer started bidding with just a few words.
Luo Jiaozi was so excited that he quoted 10,000 yuan for the first time, which was five times more than the reserve price.
As a result, ten seconds later, he obtained the rough stone without grabbing any of it.
Fatty Luo was filled with regret in an instant: "Damn it, Xiao Yunzi, I feel like I've been fooled. No one has snatched this piece of broken stone. How can it be worth anything? Ten thousand yuan is enough for me to go to the club ten times."
Xiao Xingyun comforted him: "Fat man, you have to think on the bright side. Maybe the club you often go to has been swept away? These ten thousand yuan will save you from fire and water."
"Go away! I won't listen to you anymore. Next time I will bid according to my own ideas."
"Haha." Xiao Xingyun smiled but said nothing. This seemingly gray jadeite rough stone contained a piece of top-quality red jadeite. It was as big as an adult's fist and could barely hold a bracelet or a pendant, worth at least several million.
Fatty Luo can do whatever he wants and lose all his wealth, but with this piece of red jade in his pocket, he won't be tempted to commit suicide.
Sure enough, Fatty Luo, who had lost his restraint, took action one after another and took pictures of several rough jade stones that he was optimistic about, and spent more than 200,000 yuan in the blink of an eye.
