As a burst of lights illuminated the entire venue, on the center stage, the fair-skinned and beautiful host stepped onto the stage.
After some opening remarks, a rough stone was pushed to the booth and displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
At the same time, eight professional photographers pointed their cameras at the rough stones on the stage.
The auction house is very large, and compared with it, the size of the rough stone is nothing to mention. Only by reproducing it on a high-definition large screen can everyone see the full picture of the rough stone.
Several models with sparse fabrics and proud figures also walked up, holding some tools in their hands, and began to polish the rough stone under the camera, or change the angle to present the most perfect posture of the rough stone.
This is a piece of water material, fully 30 centimeters in size. Judging from the light, there are at least 20 centimeters of jade inside. The color is greenish, and the quality looks very good.
The host picked up the microphone and shouted: "The base price of this rough stone is 500,000, and each increase in price is at least 50,000. Let's start bidding now!"
"I'll pay 550,000!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
The moment he finished speaking, the guests in the audience began to shout out the price, and their enthusiasm was so high that they immediately shouted the price of the rough stone to 700,000.
In the end, this rough stone was bought by an entrepreneur in Jiangcheng for 800,000 yuan.
The host shouted: "Congratulations, boss, for getting the first item in this auction. Do you need to open the stone on the spot?"
"open!"
In the venue, a middle-aged man stood up and shouted loudly.
He was the winner of this rough stone, with no hesitation on his face.
Seeing this scene, Lin Bei couldn't help but be surprised and said: "I didn't even pay for the stone to be opened. If the stone was broken, wouldn't the organizer be afraid that the person would default on the payment and run away?"
Next to her, Bai Yuyan said: "No. This auction happens once every ten years. This year is already the fifth time. Except for the first time it was held for the first time, no one has escaped."
Lin Bei became interested when he heard this and asked: "Why?"
Bai Yuyan did not answer, but pointed to the corner of the venue and the several venue bodyguards guarding the entrance and exit.
Lin Bei couldn't help but look around, and then he realized that these bodyguards had very sharp eyes, and they were carrying something bulging around their waists. On the surface, they seemed to be hiding it, but in fact they were deliberately exposing it to others.
Lin Bei could tell at a glance that those were real guns!
Entering here is equivalent to betting your freedom and life on it. If you like something, you either pay and leave, or don't bid, otherwise you will be risking your own life.
No wonder no one dared to evade the bill after the first term. That’s because the graves of those who evade the bill are several meters high.
Lin Bei was a little curious and asked: "There are at least dozens of security guards at this venue. What is the background of the organizer? How can they bring so many wooden warehouses into Jiangcheng?"
Bai Yuyan shook her head: "The power of the organizer has always been a mystery. There are rumors that this is a joint power. Several big powers in the Dragon Kingdom have joined forces to monopolize this industry. It is said that the rough stone conference held in the mountain city a few days ago was this.
One of the participants at one time.”
After hearing this, Lin Bei roughly understood something.
The organizer of the rough stone conference is Han Rentian, a famous stone appraiser in the Dragon Kingdom. Even he is only one of the organizers of this time. You can imagine how deep the water of this force is.
Lin Bei simply stopped thinking about it. He was here to stop Wu Luo from making money. The organizer was awesome and had nothing to do with him.
"Wow!"
At this time, there were sudden bursts of exclamations from the audience.
It turned out that the original stone on the platform had been cut open, revealing a complete piece of emerald green, crystal clear, occupying almost more than half of the inside of the original stone, and at least twenty centimeters were dug out.
On the stage, Master Jie Shi whispered a few words to the host, and then the host picked up the microphone and shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to the boss, you have opened a beautiful piece of ice!"
The audience was instantly excited.
The boss who took the picture of the rough stone also screamed with excitement and started dancing.
Such a large piece of ice, even if it is not the best, is worth far more than one million. He made a fortune this time, and many guests also cast envious glances at him.
This is gambling on stones, which makes people rich in one day.
As for the stones in the auction, the chances of getting good ones are very high.
Strictly speaking, this is not gambling on stones, but a pure competition of financial resources and luck.
The host on the stage was smiling like a flower, and the audience in the audience also cheered.
Lin Bei said a little strangely: "Isn't it just a stone? Why do I feel that their reaction seems to be a bit excessive?"
Qian Susu explained: "In the stone gambling business, three points depend on strength and seven points depend on luck, so I will pay special attention to everything. Today's auction has cut out good things in the first piece, no matter it is for the organizer
, or for us as participants, it’s a good sign.”
Bai Yuyan echoed: "I have a hunch that something great may appear today!"
Their words made Lin Bei somewhat disapproving.
Doctors don't believe in luck, especially for Lin Bei. Betting on stones is not about luck. As early as when the original stone came up, he had already seen the appearance inside. He didn't take any pictures, but it was his first time participating.
In this case, I just plan to wait and see more.
Now, Lin Bei has basically figured out the rules and he is ready to take action!
Lin Bei looked at the stands, with a golden light in his eyes that was difficult for others to detect.
Under this golden light, he could see through all the rough stones that were brought to the stage, leaving no blind spots.
Unfortunately, the subsequent rough stones had nothing in them. Although they were sold for millions of dollars, the value offered was not high, and some were even less than the first rough stone.
Some of the bosses who took pictures of rough stones beat their chests and lamented their bad luck. Some even cried on the spot and shouted, "I'm done with it." There were also a few sellers who stood there and danced, turning into people in their decades.
He looks like a three-year-old child and looks very ridiculous.
One sword will make you poor, one sword will make you rich, and the other will be covered with sackcloth. This is the truth of gambling on stones.
And this auction has amplified this sentence infinitely.
On the other side of the venue, Yu Wenzhu said to Wu Luo: "Wu Luo, these are already more than a dozen rough stones. When should we start?"
Wu Luo leaned on his seat, with a look of contentment on his face, and said, "What's the hurry? Lin Bei and the Bai family didn't take action, and there's no need for us to take action so early."
Yu Wenzhu suddenly said anxiously: "Are you going to wait forever if Lin Bei doesn't bid?"
"Don't worry, Lin Bei will definitely take action. I know him well. He will only end up after he is familiar with the rules. And if you are not sure, he will never bid!"
Wu Luo waved his hands, remembering his past experiences with Lin Bei and what happened at the last rough stone conference, and a hatred gradually grew in his eyes.
"Lin Bei! I'm fully prepared to deal with you today! Tonight is the day my Wu family makes a comeback!"
At this time, a rough stone was pushed onto the stage.
The moment he saw this rough stone, Lin Bei moved.
The host had just announced a price of one million, and Lin Bei immediately held up a sign with one million written on it, hoping to buy it at the lowest price.
