Chapter 215: Jiangnan Villa
"Director Sun doesn't seem to have good intentions towards you." Zheng Ying reminded Yang Bin again, in her eyes, a man as good as Yang Bin is of course the target of many women's predation, and she feels that she has the responsibility and obligation to help him identify everyone's good and bad intentions.
"Sister Zheng, you are too careful, Sun Piaoyun just looks frivolous on his face, but he is actually very careful in life." Yang Bin shook his head at Zheng Ying.
"How do you know?" Zheng Ying turned around and asked Yang Bin.
"I ......" Yang Bin was suddenly speechless, what he said just now seemed to be a little wrong! If you know that a woman is very careful in this regard, at least she has been tempted, right? Embarrassed.
"I can also see that Sun Piaoyun is very good at taking advantage of women and maneuvering between men to achieve some of her ulterior purposes. I'm just worried that you're being taken advantage of by her. Zheng Ying continued, she didn't suspect Yang Bin just now, she just said it in passing.
"She can't use me, Sister Zheng, don't worry! I'm almost done with the situation in the investment promotion. Yang Bin gave Zheng Ying a very positive answer.
"That's good." Zheng Ying glanced at Yang Bin again, and then focused back on driving.
…… From the urban area to Nantang Township, it is more than an hour's drive, the jade industry is one of the pillar industries of Yunfeng Municipal Axe, and the output is very large, so the investment is also very large. The road conditions from Nantang Township are very good, it is basically impossible to get stuck in traffic, and the car can easily go up to about 120 yards.
Although Yang Bin was mentally prepared, when he came to the gambling stone scene of Jiangnan Villa in Nantang Township, he was still shocked by everything in front of him.
Fortunately, he asked Zeng Zhicheng to get him an Audi, otherwise he would be really embarrassed to come closer.
The Jiangnan Villa where the gambling stone is located is behind Nantang Township, built by the mountains and lakes, and is a huge manor, with mountains and rivers, and the pavilions and pavilions are built beautifully. Today, the lanterns here are colorful, it looks very festive, of course, it is also possible that the lanterns during the New Year have not been removed, anyway, there is a strong festival atmosphere.
There are firecrackers at the gate of the villa from time to time, and I don't know if it is to welcome VIPs or what. There is no doubt that none of the people who gather here to participate in the gambling stones are ordinary people, as can be seen from their luxury cars, sports cars and the style of hugging back and forth.
Today is a sunny day, there is a lot of sunshine, but it doesn't seem hot because of the season. Yang Bin had already prepared a hat, sunglasses and other things, and put them on with Zheng Ying before getting out of the car, firstly, because he didn't want to be recognized. There were many people taking pictures at the scene, as well as reporters from newspapers, television stations, websites, and various media. In case someone accidentally photographed on the Internet, it will always be a little troublesome to be recognized as a China Merchants employee, and come to gamble on stones for no reason during work.
Of course, media reports will not call this event a gambling stone fair, but will describe it as a jade exhibition.
There are also a small number of people like Yang Bin who don't want to reveal their identities, and they also wear hats, sunglasses, and even masks, but most of them don't seem to care very much, and they are making full use of this opportunity to call each other brothers and sisters and build friendships. Betting on red diamonds is one thing, and elites from all walks of life gather here, maybe there will be a lot of business opportunities.
Yang even met a few Koreans because they spoke the language of birds like Smida.
Well, there are also myself and Europeans and Americans...... Yang Bin himself is also a native of Yunfeng City, and he lived for more than 20 years before he knew that Yunfeng still had such an international large-scale gambling activity. It seems that a person has to reach a certain level before he can come into contact with a certain level of things.
There are posters of performances at the entrance of the villa, such as the traditional Korean Genius Girls' Rapid Chess Challenge, and the group performance of the magician Awen team.
After Yang Bin arrived at the scene, he felt that China Merchants should pay more attention to this exhibition, maybe there would be an opportunity to attract investment, but unfortunately there was no official person at the exhibition, and no one even mentioned this matter before.
…… It was only one o'clock now, and the gambling stone meeting had not yet begun, and after completing the registration procedures, signing the agreement, and paying the deposit, Yang Bin and Zheng Ying went to the exhibition in the manor to enjoy the jade exhibition.
Of course, these jade stones are also sold, and although the gambling on red diamonds is the theme of this gambling stone, other business and publicity are to be done at the same time. In addition to the jade exhibition, the villa also provides a lot of other entertainment projects, fishing competitions, lantern riddles, musical fountains, yacht sightseeing, etc., anyway, let the people who come will not be idle and bored in addition to betting on red diamonds.
The most lively place of the exhibition, the place with the most concentrated flow of people, is the booth of the red diamond rough that is about to be auctioned.
There are a lot of people around each rough stone.
Of course, there are also more than a dozen security guards here to maintain order, and it is said that many plainclothes police officers have been sent to deal with emergencies. Because the exhibition has been held many times, it is also very mature, and the corresponding security measures are very complete, generally speaking, there will be no major incidents.
Wherever the rough stones placed in these booths were windowed, there were at least sesame-sized red diamonds, and the largest one even showed a red diamond the size of a broad bean.
The starting price of the sesame-sized red diamond is 300,000 yuan, and the starting price of the mung bean-sized red diamond soars to 700,000 yuan, and the starting price of the red diamond the size of a broad bean has reached 4 million, which is obviously beyond Yang Bin's financial ability.
Needless to say, the larger the red diamond that is exposed through the window, the higher the reserve price at the time of the rough auction.
Of course, no one knows how big the hidden part of the rough is in the rough until the stone is completely dissolved. Only after the stone is solved will the truth be truly revealed, as Zheng Ying said, no one can get inside information.
From the staff next to him, Yang Bin learned about the rules of the auction. It may be for the sensational effect of the auction, the scene is to use the method of instant auction and solution, that is, after the auction of a rough stone, the stone will be solved in public and the stone solution process will be broadcast live on the big screen and the stone solution results will be announced.
Once a red diamond is solved, if the owner wishes, it can also be auctioned on the spot, of course, because there are many wealthy collectors who come here, and it is easier to auction at this exhibition for a high price.
After counting, Yang Bin found that there were not as many rough stones in this auction as usual, and there were only twenty-three pieces in total.
Yang Bin breathed a sigh of relief, he now has twenty-five merit points, twenty-three rough stones, and using the method of cutting fruits to solve the stones will consume Yang Bin's twenty-three merit points, which is enough to solve all the red diamond rough stones.
According to the unwritten rules before the auction, the afternoon session usually starts at two o'clock and ends at half past five, and the unfinished auction is left until tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's auction will start at 10 a.m. and end at 12 p.m., and if it is still not finished, it will continue in the afternoon after a two-hour break until the auction is finished.
The auction was about to start, and Yang Bin no longer hesitated, taking advantage of the time when the gambling stones had not yet begun, his vision narrowed down to each piece of red diamond rough that was on display, and then began to play the game of cutting fruits.
Rough No. 1: A soybean-sized red diamond was exposed.
The starting price is the second highest among all roughs.
Million.
Yang Bin slashed down the place where the red diamond was exposed.
The total inside is only the size of a soybean.
It's only worth about 500,000 yuan, and the net loss of goods is given up.
No. 2 rough reveals a sesame-sized red diamond.
Yang Bin slashed down the place where the red diamond was exposed.
It's only the size of a sesame seed.
Pit daddy, give up.
No. 3 ...... Abandon.
Number 4 ...... Abandon.
No. 5 ...... Abandon.
No. 6 ...... Abandon.
...... "Binbin, what are you doing?" Zheng Ying found that Yang Bin had been in a daze, although she occasionally walked around, but she had been silent for a long time, and when she spoke to him, she only got some very perfunctory responses such as 'um', 'ah', etc.
"I'm looking at a rough stone with a big red diamond in it." Yang Bin replied to Zheng Ying.
Although Yang Bin was telling the truth, Zheng Ying was speechless...... Can this also be seen? If you can see it, why are so many people here today? Wouldn't it be easier for the villa to directly dismantle the stone and then auction it?
…… No. 9, the size of a mung bean is exposed, and it is slightly larger than a broad bean when opened!
The starting price is 700,000 yuan, and the estimated price of a red diamond the size of a broad bean should reach about 1 million, right?
It is also possible that one million and two hundred thousand will look like.
The starting price is so high that it is impossible to make a profit. Forget it, give up.
Number 10 ...... Abandon.
No. 11 ...... Abandon.
Number 12 ...... Abandon.
…… Yang Bin dissected all the way, and there was only one feeling in his heart.
Pit daddy.
These rough stones, after opening, are almost lost.
Fortunately, he has the fruit cutting stunt of the official moral system, otherwise the result of blindly gambling on stones can only be bankrupt.
Sure enough, it's a game that only rich people can play.
Number 18.
That is, the stone with a starting price of 4 million, and the one that opened the window to reveal a red diamond the size of a broad bean.
Although Yang Bin had almost no ability to shoot this piece, he still took a deep breath and cut it open with a knife.
It's so special! It's not as good as the nine!
If someone really took this picture, it would probably spurt blood.
Yang Bin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, it's eighteen yuan, and he hasn't even ordered a decent one, won't he get nothing this time?
There are only five pieces left.
If there is still nothing, then you can go back the same way with Zheng Ying directly, and waste your time here, it is better to earn some merit points. It's not a good thing that there is a serious lack of merit points in the account now, and if you encounter any emergency, you will have to go blind.
No matter how powerful the official morality system is, it will be completely impossible to play without merit points.
