Chapter 353 Qin Shihuang digs a pit
If Chang Mukuan adds the price, then he doesn't want it. If Chang Mukuan doesn't add the price, then he won't lose.
I don’t know if it has exceeded expectations or what happened. When I heard Qin Shihuang shouting 10 million, Chang Mukuan stood up and said, “Since this gentleman looks so much, then I won’t argue with this gentleman.”
From beginning to end, only Qin Shihuang and Chang Mukuan shouted. I guess others have seen that the two had a holiday, so they didn't participate. Chang Mukuan didn't want it, so there was no need to say that this stone belongs to Qin Shihuang.
The jade in this stone is worth ten million, and Qin Shihuang spent ten million, which means he did not make any profit or lose money. This made Qin Shihuang very angry. If Qin Shihuang got angry, the consequences would be very serious.
"Dear sirs and ladies, the third raw stone auction is now underway, with a starting price of one million, and each increase cannot be less than one hundred thousand. The auction begins now."
"One million, one hundred thousand."
"One and two million."
“…”
"One million and half million."
“…”
"Three million."
“…”
"Five million."
In less than a minute, the No. 3 raw stone was called to five million. As for this raw stone, Qin Shihuang was determined to win, but so far, he has not offered a price.
This rough stone is a little smaller than the No. 2 rough stone. Of course, this refers to the weight. If you look at the size, you can't tell at all, because the No. 3 rough stone is just a few kilograms lighter than the No. 2 rough stone.
The reason why Qin Shihuang was determined to win was that there was jade in this rough stone, and it was the glass type that Qin Shihuang wanted the most. Unfortunately, it was just a glass type, not imperial green, otherwise the value of this jade would be higher.
Even so, Qianbian gave a price of 80 million, which is 80 million. How could Qin Shihuang miss it? And Qianbian said that this is just the value of jade. If you meet someone with a heart, you will give it higher.
"Five million and five million."
It was still the young man who bought No. 1 raw stone just now and gave a quotation of 5.5 million. I don’t know if it was because he had already spent 12 million or what happened, but this time he didn’t call that high.
"Ten million."
Qin Shihuang called for a price, and when he shouted, he took a special look at Chang Mukuan. Of course, Qin Shihuang showed a smile on his face, as if he was talking to Chang Mukuan, "You shout too."
Seeing Qin Shihuang's expression, Chang Mukuan frowned and wanted to raise the sign several times, but in the end he still didn't.
To be honest, the price of 10 million is really high. Except for the No. 1 raw stone, it is 12 million, and the No. 2 raw stone, Qin Shihuang won 10 million. Now the No. 3 raw stone has been called to 10 million by Qin Shihuang.
After Qin Shihuang called out ten million, the people in the whole hall were basically watching him. There was no way. Ten million twice, how rich would it be. Although those who could sit in this place were basically the ones who were not short of money, few people could take out tens of millions at will.
After all, these people are just rich at home, and they themselves don’t actually have much money. Of course, this cannot be so absolute. Among these people, there are still some people who are richer.
"Is there anything higher than ten million for this gentleman?"
After the auctioneer Liao Jiaxing finished speaking, he looked around and saw that no one wanted to raise the sign, so he shouted: "Ten million once, ten million twice, ten million three times, the deal was completed."
Qin Shihuang took two raw stones with 20 million yuan. Although the first one was not profitable, he made a lot of money in the second one. On average, Qin Shihuang still made a lot of money, which made him very happy.
Seeing Qin Shihuang take down another raw stone, and he seemed very happy. This made Chang Mukuan so angry. Just now, he thought Qin Shihuang was intentional and wanted to cheat him, but now it seems that it is not at all, but Qin Shihuang wants this stone.
Next is the auction of No. 4 raw stone. Qin Shihuang had seen this raw stone. It contains jade and a piece of red jade. Unfortunately, it is too small and only the size of a goose egg. To put it bluntly, I can't even make bracelets, so I can only make some pendants.
In the ever-changing words, although red jade is relatively rare and the price will be higher, the price of this red jade will definitely not exceed three million. I thought that the water head of this red jade is better, and it is blood red.
Similarly, this stone is not small, just a little smaller than the No. 3 stone. As for why there are so many raw stones with jade, this is actually very normal. Let’s see who are here today.
They are all rich people and potential customers. If there are too many jadeites in this batch of raw stones, then these people will be even more crazy in the future, and it is not easy for the people to hold this event.
These raw stones were definitely carefully selected. Qin Shihuang guessed correctly. This batch of stones was indeed carefully selected, and they were picked out by an old man who was called the Jade King.
"Now the No. 4 raw stone auction is ongoing. This raw stone, whether it is appearance or pattern, is a fine product among the finest products. Of course, the price is not cheap. The starting price is 1.5 million, and each price increase cannot be less than 100,000. The auction begins now."
"Three million."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Qin Shihuang raised the sign and shouted a price that was worth the same as this stone.
"Five million."
When he heard that it was Qin Shihuang’s price, Chang Mukuan immediately raised the sign and added two million directly. Qin Shihuang sneered in his heart, thinking, I’m afraid you won’t take the bait.
"Ten million." Then Qin Shihuang called another ten million, which was the third ten million that Qin Shihuang called tonight.
"One thousand two million."
Seeing the smile on Qin Shihuang's face, Chang Mukuan quoted another price and nodded at Qin Shihuang.
"Five million."
Just as Chang Mukuan nodded, before he could smile, Qin Shihuang called out another price, and it was three million more than Chang Mukuan, which made Chang Mukuan so angry.
Qin Shihuang saw Chang Mukuan say a few words to the two people around him, but Qin Shihuang didn't hear what they said. It was, how could he hear it so far away? But Qin Shihuang saw one thing.
That is Chang Mukuan raised the sign and shouted: "Twenty million."
Qin Shihuang laughed, and he was laughing wildly. Of course, he was laughing wildly in his heart. This is what he wanted. As mentioned earlier, Qin Shihuang was very angry, so the consequences would definitely be serious.
"Since this gentleman likes this stone so much, I won't argue with you." Qin Shihuang stood up and said.
"Uh! You...you don't want it?" Chang Mukuan looked at Qin Shihuang in surprise.
Needless to say, this guy thought Qin Shihuang would keep shouting the price like No. 2 raw stone. He was about to wait for Qin Shihuang to shout the price again and then stopped shouting. Unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang stopped shouting, which caught him a little off guard.
That's 20 million, not 200,000. This 20 million is his current net worth. I didn't expect to buy such a stone with all his net worth. However, Chang Mukuan did not regret it, just was surprised because it was a jadeite rough stone. If it rose, it would make a lot of money.
If Qin Shihuang knew what Chang Mukuan was thinking now, he would definitely be unable to help laughing, because this was really ridiculous.
"No, 20 million is too much, I can't afford it."
Qin Shihuang's words were so annoying. You should know that he had spent 20 million yuan, but now he said it's more than 20 million yuan, and he said he couldn't afford it and cheated on fools.
Hearing Qin Shihuang say this, Chang Mukuan snorted and then sat down. However, the next auction basically had nothing to do with Chang Mukuan, and his money was enough to buy this stone.
Next, no one made trouble. Without Chang Mukuan’s trouble, Qin Shihuang paid a lot less. There were thirty-six stones, and Qin Shihuang bought nine pieces, seven of which were jadeite, and two of them were not jadeite.
There was no way. If everything he bought had jade, what would others think? So he spent some money in vain and spent a lot of money, two pieces of raw stone without jade, and Qin Shihuang spent 11 million.
Although he spent 11 million in vain, Qin Shihuang made a lot of money today. Of course, it was not that there were only seven jadeites, and there were also jadeites in other raw stones, but Qin Shihuang looked down on those jadeites.
He deliberately asked others to take away the stones. The stones were either insufficient or low in value. Qin Shihuang was lazy to buy them. To put it bluntly, if he bought all the raw stones with jade, he would think about the consequences.
You should know that it will be held on site later, and the organizer will preach stones for everyone for free. Of course, Qin Shihuang also knows why the organizer does this, just let everyone see and enjoy the pleasure of one sword heaven and one sword hell.
After the auction was over, Qin Shihuang went over and paid the money, and the stones he had photographed were pushed to him by the staff.
Hu Fei and Chen Jiasheng also took a photo of one, which cost three million yuan. The fools are lucky. These two guys also took a photo of a raw stone with jade, and the water head was pretty good. Originally, Qin Shihuang wanted to take a photo of this, but Hu Fei had already called for the price, so Qin Shihuang stopped calling it. In the end, the raw stone was taken down by Hu Fei for 3 million yuan.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, are your rough stones now or..."
Qin Shihuang bought the most raw stones, so the organizer must ask him first. In fact, this is normal, because Qin Shihuang spent the most money, no matter where he was, it was the same. If he had money, he would be the old man.
"Open now."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, then it starts."
The wool cutting machine was ready, just on one side of the stage, this one was ready before Qin Shihuang and the others came.
"Then Mr. Qin cut the piece first?"
"Just this one." Qin Shihuang pointed to the second-large stone. Qin Shihuang spent 10 million yuan on this raw stone. Similarly, the jade inside is also worth 10 million yuan. This is the quote for Qin Shihuang, so Qin Shihuang was ready to cut this piece first.
"OK."
Then a few people came over and carried the No. 2 raw stone to the machine and fixed it. The staff member came over and asked, "Mr. Qin, where did you cut the knife?"
After saying that, he handed Qin Shihuang a piece of chalk, Qin Shihuang took it, drew a line directly on the raw stone and said, "Let's start from here."
"Okay Mr. Qin."
The staff member agreed and said to the stone cutting master: "It's time to start."
A harsh voice came and he began to cut the stones. To be honest, Qin Shihuang looked very calm, but in fact he was not so calm. At this time, he should be very nervous. Although Qianbian told him that these jades were worth so much, he had not obtained the money and Qin Shihuang was not so down-to-earth.
"It's rising, it's rising, it's going to rise!" As a stone was cut off, the jade inside was exposed. Although it was just a little bit out of the road, when someone saw the green, he shouted.
"Mr. Qin, is this stone sold? I will pay 11 million."
"Damn, I spent 10 million when I bought it. You give me 11 million. You are robbing it! I will pay 12 million."
Although it was just revealed, someone had already snatched it up. This is normal. These people are the kind of people who are more cautious and did not sell it during the auction because they were afraid that they would not be able to cut out the jade.
But now that jade is exposed, it is different. This means that there is jade inside. Regardless of whether the jade is worth so much money or not, it doesn’t matter, because they are not businessmen, and they buy a name.
It’s so embarrassing to say it if you spend money to buy a piece of raw stone to cut it out. On the other hand, no matter how much this piece of jade is worth, at least if you open it, it’s different if you say it out.
"What are you saying, what are you two million, I will pay 15 million." Another young man came over and said.
"Sorry, I want to open it all. If anyone else wants it at that time, then we will conduct an auction on site."
When everyone heard Qin Shihuang say this, they stopped clamoring for prices. There is no way. If the owner doesn’t sell it, you can’t rob it. What kind of people are there in this place?
The master who cuts the raw stones is a master and quickly cuts out the jade. This piece of jade is a round and oblong, emerald green jade, which makes the eyes of the people watching the other side shine.
"What a pity, it's not an ice type." Auctionist Liao Jiaxing shook his head beside him.
After hearing what he said, Qin Shihuang knew that this guy definitely understood jade. Not only did he understand it, but he was also a master. Otherwise, it would be impossible to tell what jade it was at a glance.
In fact, Qin Shihuang thought too much and could tell what kind of jade it was, he didn't need any master. As long as he had a certain understanding of jade, he could see that the reason why Qin Shihuang couldn't tell was because he didn't know jade at all.
"Mr. Qin, 20 million, sell this piece of jade to me." A young man hurriedly shouted when he saw the jade cut out.
"Why should I sell it to you? I'll see this. The auction price will be higher, and I will pay 22 million."
Chapter completed!
