Finally, two o'clock arrived and they had officially launched the auction.
As the time came, everyone returned to their seats one after another.
Chen Yang also sat up straight, waiting for it to begin.
As for Liu Yifei, her eyes were shining brightly.
"By the way!" Liu Yifei said, "I forgot to tell you something. There is a special rule for auctioning here. After an item is auctioned, it must be opened immediately! There is no room for bargaining!"
"There are still such rules?" Chen Yang was stunned.
"Yeah!" Liu Yifei nodded and said, "They mainly want to expand their influence, so they all have to open here, and there are also many buyers here. When they see good raw materials, they also want to buy them, so they have some bets.
Stone people also like to open here.”
"Then if we get it at the auction, we will have to go and buy it?"
"Of course!" Liu Yifei nodded.
Chen Yang felt a little tricky, "But... wouldn't this be a bit risky? After all, money touches people's hearts!"
"It shouldn't be a big problem!" Liu Yifei thought for a moment before saying, "I rarely hear of anything happening, and as long as the value exceeds 100 million, their organizers will have dedicated people to pick them up, so don't worry.
This question. You have to know that anyone who dares to hold such an auction in Xiangzhou is definitely not an ordinary person."
Chen Yang didn't worry about anything anymore.
After all, you have to listen to others on their territory, and there is nothing to say.
After everyone was seated, the host came on stage again.
"Everyone, be quiet..." he said.
The venue instantly became quiet, and everyone looked at him expectantly.
Now it’s about to officially begin!
"We have a total of 203 rough stones on site this year. Each one is carefully selected by our organizer. The best of the best are all top quality, so everyone can go to the auction with confidence. We evaluate each stone.
Okay, the starting prices are different for each level. Let me tell you the lowest starting price, and then you can start adding more.
Price. There is a button on your seat with numbers on it that you can increase. By the way, when you increase the price, you must be careful and don’t add the wrong price. Of course, even if you accidentally press the wrong price
Yes, there is a chance to make changes. Of course, the chance I am talking about is that I can only change the number, and it must be changed before I count one."
"Do you understand?"
Many of the people present have been here before. Although there are also newcomers, they have long been educated by those who have been here before, so there is really no need to say these words.
"Okay!" the host laughed and said, "Then I won't waste everyone's time. After all, everyone still has to open stones. Starting now, we will auction numbers 1 to 10! After auctioning these, we have to open stones.
Stone!"
"Now, the bidding begins! No. 1, the base price is 15 million, now everyone is invited to bid!"
"Okay, the gentleman No. 68 bids 20 million!"
"The gentleman at No. 73 bids 23 million!"
…
Soon, they had already raised the price.
Finally, the No. 1 rough stone was sold for 53 million!
The price surprised Chen Yang.
Too high!
These people don't regard money as money, so they just throw it away like crazy.
You are not afraid of encountering a waste rock... Sorry, although this number one is a bit green, it is not much different from a waste rock.
It would be great if you could make back a small change of 53 million.
Chen Yang shook his head.
Next up is number two.
Then it’s number three again…
The bidding was relatively fast, and ten stones were quickly sold.
The highest price was sold for 60 million, and the lowest price was 28 million.
Then we came to everyone’s favorite part, starting to open stones.
As a result, everyone became excited and eagerly awaited.
Especially those who haven't photographed rough stones yet stretched their necks out to see if this would be a good start.
Let alone them, the organizers actually have some expectations too.
If we really get a big increase, it will be a good start, which will be very helpful for improving morale later on.
"Please ask us auctioneers to pay the money first and then cut the stones in person. Our people can assist!"
This is their rule, pay first, then cut the stone, and they must cut it themselves.
Of course, everything has to be fast.
Soon, everyone went up to pay the money first.
Cutting officially started on the 1st!
The master stepped forward, quickly decided on the plan, and started cutting under everyone's watchful eyes.
I'm afraid that everyone can't see clearly, so there is a huge screen above. Even if you can't see the little people, you can still see what's inside very clearly.
The cutting machine rotated rapidly and began to cut out.
Bang!
A stone fell down.
They saw a hint of green.
"It's green, but... the color is so bad, almost all of it is bean seeds!"
"It's a loss, it's a loss, it's a big loss!"
The owner of No. 1 trembled with his lips, and finally left the scene helplessly.
The host sighed, not getting off to a good start.
"Okay, we've finished cutting on the first, let's start on the second!" Although it's a bit regretful, I have to start another one.
So the second one started again.
No. 2 is completely a piece of waste stone when cut out.
Next is number three and number four...
After cutting out ten pieces in this way, all of them lost money, and none of them gained.
The best one lost less than 20 million.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Nine times out of ten you lose when you bet. It’s not just about gambling, it can also be done on rough stones.
The atmosphere is a bit heavy.
"It's a pity..." the host came on stage and said, "Now let's clean up and start the auction of numbers 10 to 20!"
In the following time, because neither Chen Yang nor Liu Yifei wanted to buy anything, they just watched the excitement.
From the 11th to the 30th, another twenty stones were opened, and finally an ice species of good quality was found. It was a gamble, and the atmosphere here suddenly became lively.
Gambling people will never look at those who lose, everyone will look at those who win.
It seems like they are next.
But things are often the opposite. Most people are actually the ones who lose in gambling, but they don't want to admit it.
"It's almost our turn!" Finally, they had reached the thirty-sixth auction.
"Do you want it or should I?" Chen Yang asked Liu Yifei.
"You come first!" Liu Yifei was not in a hurry.
"Okay!" Chen Yang laughed.
"Our base price on the 36th is 20 million, everyone can start making bids!"
"Twenty-five million, okay, a gentleman has already bid first!"
"Twenty-seven million!"
"Thirty million!"
"Thirty-two million!"
"Thirty-four million!"
"Forty million!"
…
When the number reaches 40 million, the speed becomes much slower.
Obviously, when the price reaches this level, everyone thinks more and has more doubts, so the speed naturally slows down.
