Chapter 100: The Auction Begins

If he didn't know Lin Ming before, then after learning Lin Ming's identity, getting to know Lin Ming was also a great thing for Tang Xiao.

With Lin Ming's help, in the future, in the jade industry, Tang Xiao will have a lot less effort, how can this not make Tang Xiao overjoyed?

"Okay, Uncle Lin, you two don't flatter each other. The auction is about to begin. Xia Zixin had a smile on her face, and she walked in front of Tang Xiao and Lin Ming, and spoke.

Lin Ming patted his head and hurriedly said, "Don't you say that I almost forgot, go, I'll take you over now." ”

"Okay." Xia Zixin and Tang Xiao glanced at each other, and at this moment they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

Under the leadership of Lin Ming, Tang Xiao and Xia Zixin soon came to the place where the rough stone of the No. 1 pit was auctioned.

At this moment, there are quite a few people in the rough auction. At a glance, it can be said that there is a black and black crowd of people's heads.

"Will you sit with me? What do you think? Lin Ming turned his head and asked at Tang Xiao and Xia Zixin.

Regarding Lin Ming's proposal, Xia Zixin and Tang Xiao naturally would not refuse anything. The two of them smiled and nodded, and they followed behind Lin Ming and walked to a row of positions.

The auction hasn't started yet, so Xia Zixin and Tang Xiao can't help but chat with each other at this moment.

Nearly twenty minutes or so passed, and the auction was already full. Seeing this scene, a man in a suit walked to the stage and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that everyone can participate in this rare auction in a hundred years tonight, my name is Geng Le, and I am the auctioneer of this auction." ”

Many of the guests present did not speak, but just stared at Geng Le and listened to the words that came out of Geng Le's mouth.

"The rough stones auctioned this time are all mined from the No. 1 pit, and everyone is in the industry, so there are some things I don't need to say, and I think everyone understands the value of these rough stones. This time, there are a total of eight rough stones in the auction, and now, the first rough stone is invited. ”

When Geng Le's words fell, two women wearing cheongsams immediately walked out of it. They were pushing a cart in their hands, and in the cart was one of the rough stones mined in the No. 1 pit that Tang Xiao had seen at the exhibition before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this piece is the No. 1 rough stone, you can conduct an auction, each auction, the price increase shall not be less than three million, the low price is five million, start now!"

After Geng Le finished speaking, he picked up the hammer on the side, with a smile on his face, staring at the many guests around him.

"Five million!" A guest will hold up a sign in his hand and call out his price loudly.

"I want to take away the reserve price, is it possible?" A guest snorted coldly, and at this moment, he was also not to be outdone, raising his number plate and shouting loudly: "Ten million!" ”

He immediately raised the price to the point of 10 million, but there was no surprise on the faces of the guests present.

Because they were already prepared in their hearts. It is impossible to get your hands on the rough from Pit 1 without a lot of money.

Tang Xiao stared at this piece of rough stone, and after a few seconds of deep muttering, Tang Xiao turned his head to look at Lin Ming beside him, and said, "Uncle Lin, which piece of the original stone do you fancie?" ”

"It's Rough Seven." Lin Ming naturally wouldn't hide anything, and explained softly to Tang Xiao at this moment.

Hearing Lin Ming's words, Tang Xiao couldn't help but nod slightly, he had also seen the No. 7 Rough Stone before, and the jade inside it was quite good.

"I don't know what your psychological price is, Uncle Lin?" Tang Xiao asked again.

Lin Ming smiled bitterly at this moment, and said: "This time, it can be said that there are more monks and less porridge, after all, the rough stone mined from the No. 1 pit is only eight, but now there are at least more than 20 guests in the auction hall, and it is not easy to get a piece from these more than 20 people, the price in my heart is 30 million, but in order to auction this rough stone, I am ready to buy about 80 million, presumably, it should be enough to auction a rough stone." ”

Lin Ming told Tang Xiao what he thought in his heart, and after listening to Lin Ming's words, Tang Xiao nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, it was Xia Zixin, but her mouth was pursed, and she said with some unhappiness: "I didn't even know that there was a No. 1 pit auction of rough stones today, if I had known earlier, I would have prepared some more funds in advance, and now I can only watch, alas." ”

In the end, Xia Zixin couldn't help but sigh, obviously, she was quite dissatisfied with this.

After all, this kind of thing can be said to be quite rare, it is the No. 1 mine, maybe in Yunnan, and other border places, it is commonplace for the rough stones mined in the No. 1 mine, but for these jewelry stores in Jinghai City, the No. 1 pit has never appeared.

The next time I want to encounter this kind of scene in front of me, I don't know how long it will take, no wonder Xia Zixin is so depressed.

Tang Xiao smiled slightly, and at this moment, he comforted softly: "It's okay, it's not that we don't have a chance." ”

"Huh? How do you say that? Xia Zixin turned her head to look at Tang Xiao, and her face couldn't help but show a look of doubt. She had heard Tang Xiao say this before, but Tang Xiao didn't answer her at all at that time.

And now that the auction has begun, presumably Tang Xiao will make it clear to her, right?

Xia Zixin's puzzled gaze, Tang Xiao naturally saw it clearly. He shook his head lightly and said, "Now is not the time to explain to you, wait a minute, you will understand." For Zixin, the stone we fancy is the last one, the No. 8 rough stone. ”

"The last stone?" Xia Zixin was a little puzzled, the last rough stone, she had seen it before, but it was no different from the other rough stones, why did Tang Xiao say this?

Doubts in my heart are doubts, but for Tang Xiao, Xia Zixin's heart is quite trusting. Since Tang Xiao said this, Xia Zixin naturally wouldn't ask anything more.

Tang Xiao smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything, but sat on the chair with his old body freely, looking at the people who were fighting for the No. 1 Rough Stone, with a mysterious smile on his face.
