Then, with a look of shame on his face, he said: "Mayor Wei, look at me, I have tens of thousands of people in charge, and everything is well organized, but I still can't manage this prodigal son. Do you think it's strange?"
"Hahaha! It's normal!" Wei Qing said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, you are just doting on me."
"No matter how smart a person is, he cannot manage his children and grandchildren rationally!"
"Yeah!" Chen Shixiong nodded: "Mayor Wei hit the nail on the head!"
Then, he changed the topic and said: "But this Master Ye does have something real. These two stone bets were really exciting. My prodigal son lost 100 million, he deserves to lose!"
"Ye Qingyang is a rare genius. Even I can't see how many abilities he has hidden in him!" Wei Qing said thoughtfully: "Let's continue to see, maybe there will be many surprises!"
"I didn't expect you have so many talents in Qingzhou City!" Chen Shixiong praised.
"Director Chen has received the award. In fact, there is a shortage of talents in Qingzhou City. This Ye Qingyang is completely a special case!" Wei Qing said: "That's why I have to keep this prodigy under control, and I must not let him run away!"
"Hahaha, it's rare to see Mayor Wei attach so much importance to someone!" Chen Shixiong said with a smile.
Wei Qing didn't say anything, she just spread her hands, raised her eyebrows and smiled, showing off the charm of a mature woman.
Then, she looked at her watch, stood up and said, "It's almost time, the auction is about to begin, let's go down and have a look!"
"good!"
...
This jade tasting event will include a charity auction.
All money from the auction will be donated to the disaster area.
Before the auction begins, both the mayor and Chen Shixiong will take the stage to deliver speeches.
The two of them went downstairs and came to the charity auction area.
At this time, the big names who were qualified to participate in the conference also took their seats, waiting for the auction to start.
As we all know, rich people like to play with jade and antiques. I heard that at this charity auction, the officials also spent a lot of money to find a few treasures, so everyone wanted to come and take a look.
Ye Qingyang and Lin Junyao also squeezed over and found a corner to sit down.
"Qingyang, why did you bring me to the auction?" Lin Junyao said.
“There’s good stuff here!”
Ye Qingyang's eyes were shining as he stared at the several pieces of jewelry on the stand that were about to be auctioned.
At this time, the auction was about to begin, and Mayor Wei Qing came to the stage to speak.
They are all high-sounding words.
Afterwards, Chen Shixiong also came on stage and spoke.
At this time, Chen Ao and an old man with a gray beard came to the auction venue.
By coincidence, there were not many seats left, so they sat on the seats next to Ye Qingyang.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, what a coincidence!" Ye Qingyang greeted playfully.
Chen Ao gritted his teeth and said: "Hmph, don't be too proud. Just because I lost to you doesn't mean that no one can beat you. I have already invited Master Jia here. He is a national first-class treasure appraiser. You are such a wild man."
As a contestant, your ignorance will be exposed immediately in front of Master Jia!"
The old man called Master Jia glanced at Ye Qingyang arrogantly, then turned away and closed his eyes to rest.
At this time, Chen Ao did not forget to please Lin Junyao, bypassing Ye Qingyang and said to Lin Junyao:
"Junyao, if there is jewelry you like at this tasting, you can ask Master Jia to help you identify it. With Master Jia here, you will never suffer a loss in what you buy. You have to make a profit!"
"Thank you!"
Lin Junyao nodded slightly out of politeness.
At this time, the auction began.
The first exhibit is a palm-sized Hetian jade from the Western Regions!
Master Jia suddenly opened his eyes, took out a single-hole telescope, and looked towards the booth.
"This jade has a red crown, also known as cockscomb jade. It is a rare blood jade. It was unearthed during the Republic of China. Its owner was a concubine of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was a burial object. During the Republic of China, the tomb was robbed and the thieves turned it over.
See the light of day again..."
Master Jia recited the words, his tone was neither fast nor slow, and he was full of confidence.
At this time, the host on the stage began to introduce the jade.
"Hello everyone, this jade is a precious jade. It was a burial object of a concubine during the Eastern Han Dynasty..."
The introduction mentioned is basically the same as what Master Jia said!
Chen Ao glanced at Ye Qingyang with a proud face, and then deliberately said to Master Jia: "Master Jia, you can tell the origin of this jade at a glance, you are too overbearing!"
"This is a basic skill, no surprise!"
Master Jia stroked his beard, looking somewhat like an immortal.
"Little driver, can you see this?" Chen Ao asked Ye Qingyang.
"I can't tell!" Ye Qingyang said: "I'm not a professional antique dealer, who would memorize those things by rote!"
Lin Junyao on the side frowned slightly, feeling that Chen Ao was quite bored.
Could it be that inviting a so-called master is just to put others down and show off oneself?
Childish or not?
How can a kid with this kind of mentality be the president of Proud Jade Group?
However, Ye Qingyang didn't think so. He had a feeling that this Chen Ao was setting a trap for him.
As for where it is, I can't tell yet.
Soon, the first auction item was bought by a big shot at a high price of 87 million.
The second auction item will appear immediately.
It is a diamond-like crystal.
It is as big as a fist. Although it is transparent and flawless, there is a faint flow of color on the surface, which is very beautiful.
"This is a light-concentrating gemstone from the Northern Song Dynasty!" Master Jia once again revealed the spoiler in advance, but this time, in the middle of his words, he turned to ask Ye Qingyang: "I heard Mr. Chen said that you have a lot of insights into jade, but I don't know.
Can you see what this light-gathering gem does?"
Ye Qingyang blinked his eyes and said naively: "I'm not sure, I just think it looks good, tsk tsk, it's shiny!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Master Jia laughed loudly, with a lot of contempt in his eyes, and said:
"Light-concentrating gemstones are a very rare kind of diamond. Yes, they are diamonds, but they are slightly different from modern diamonds in the arrangement of carbon elements. So in terms of price, they are not as expensive as diamonds today, but they are more expensive than diamonds.
It has one more characteristic, that is, as long as a ray of light shines in, through its refraction, more intense light will be released!"
"It is precisely this feature, coupled with its status as an antique, that makes it expensive!"
As soon as Master Jia finished speaking, the host on the stage asked to turn off the lights temporarily and shine a flashlight on the gem.
In an instant, the fast gem emitted a dazzling light like a lamp, illuminating the venue hall as bright as day.
Moreover, around the gemstones, there are layers of colorful halos, making people fall deeply into it and become mesmerized.
"Master Jia is really amazing. Not only does he know the age and origin of gemstones well, but he also has a very comprehensive and thorough grasp of the properties and functions of gemstones!" Chen Ao praised with all his strength.
Then, Chen Ao suddenly asked: "Master Jia, I want to buy a jade collection. Do you think there is anything good worth buying at this auction?"
"have!"
Master Jia pointed to a wooden lion on the far side: "You can buy this!"
Chen Ao was stunned: "This...is this jade? Isn't this a wood carving?"
Master Jia said with determination: "No! This is jade!"
Ye Qingyang smiled slightly from the side and said to himself: "Finally, they started to set a trap for me!"
