Chapter 402: Auction

It's just that Mo Xue didn't want to wake up Jiang Shaoyou, but someone didn't want Jiang Shaoyou to miss the auction. Of course, this person is Liu Wencai and Liu Dashao, he finally tried his best to fool Jiang Shaoyou, how could he be willing to let Jiang Shaoyou come around, and also made friends with a big man with a background all over the world, and then there was no follow-up?

Therefore, seeing that the auction was about to start, and Jiang Shaoyou was still nowhere to be seen, this Liu Dashao hurriedly called the hotel and asked the switchboard to transfer the call to the landline in the room where Jiang Shaoyou was. As soon as the phone rang, Jiang Shaoyou heard it even if he slept to death, and then he knew that he had overslept.

Jiang Shaoyou also roughly guessed Mo Xue's careful thoughts, but he knew that Mo Xue was also for his own good, so he didn't blame Mo Xue for not waking him up in time, so after getting up and washing his face, he hurried to the auction with Mo Xue.

By the time Jiang Shaoyou and Mo Xue entered the multi-functional hall and took their seats, more than a dozen jade rough stones had been auctioned off, and most of them were unsold, after all, although these rich people who participated in the auction were very rich, they were not wronged, and they would not be willing to spend money to buy everything. People who often play gambling stones also know that these stones are mined from jadeite ore, but one jadeite may not be able to be opened out of ten rough stones.

Therefore, most of the people who participated in the auction also went to the morning tasting meeting, and they fell in love with a few rough stones, thinking that there was a high possibility of cutting jadeite inside, so they would bid for it.

The auction process is from low to high, which means that the rough with the lowest reserve price will be put up for auction first, and the later the rough will be auctioned, the higher the bidding price.

If the jadeite rough is cut out of ten and nine empty, then it is possible to cut out the jadeite rough, which is obviously more likely to appear in those high-priced rough stones. After all, whether it is a full bet wool or a half-bet wool, it must be because the surface of the rough stone is better, and the probability of jadeite is relatively large, so it will be set a higher auction price.

It's not like you can't cut jadeite at all in cheap rough stones, but the chances of betting on it are too slim, so most of the wealthy people who participate in the auction mainly focus on the high-priced jadeite rough. As a result, it is only natural that most of these cheap rough stones will not be sold at first.

Jiang Shaoyou was optimistic that the auction price of the two pieces of jadeite rough was not high, so after learning that more than a dozen pieces of rough stone had been auctioned, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and hurriedly asked Zeng Zijin, who was sitting next to him, and was relieved to learn that the highest auction reserve price of the jadeite rough that had just been auctioned was only 120,000.

It seems that it has not yet been the turn of the two rough stones with jadeite in them, and the two rough stones that Jiang Shaoyou has a fancy to have a reserve price of 150,000 yuan and a reserve price of 380,000 yuan for one piece. Among these 300 rough stones, the price is considered to be on the low side. But now it seems that there are many bidders with a reserve price of less than 150,000 yuan!

"Big brother, do you have any promising rough stones?"

Zeng Zijin on the side diligently handed over a lot photo album, and said with a smile: "If you are optimistic, help me pay attention, I followed Wang Dong this time, mainly to find a better piece of jade material, and turn around to carve an ornament, so that our old man can be a birthday gift." However, I am really not good at gambling stones, so I ...... I have no choice but to ask your eldest brother for help! ”

This lot album contains information about all 300 rough jadeite stones that participated in the auction today, with photos of the rough stones, corresponding numbers and brief descriptions. Jiang Shaoyou came late in the morning and didn't get this album, or Liu Wencai deliberately didn't give it to Jiang Shaoyou. The other bidders, almost all of them, looked at the album when they looked at the rough stones at the morning tasting. After seeing which one, mark it directly on the album, so that when the auction starts in the afternoon, as long as you hear the rough number shouted by the auctioneer, you will know if it is the one you want.

"This ......" Jiang Shaoyou was a little embarrassed when he heard this...... He looked at so many jadeite rough stones, and only found two pieces with bidding value, and when these two rough stones were auctioned, Jiang Shaoyou decided to take them anyway as long as the price was not called too outrageous.

But now...... If you give Zeng Zijin a piece of the jade rough that you are optimistic about, then you can only get a piece! In this way, what kind of money can be made!

Of course, if the person looking for his help at this moment was not Zeng Zijin, but a buddy like Hu Dong, then Jiang Shaoyou would not have the slightest hesitation at all, let alone give one to him, and it didn't matter if both were given out. So...... In the final analysis, Jiang Shaoyou and Zeng Zijin's current friendship is not so deep at all, at least not to the point that Jiang Shaoyou is willing to pay the price of his own interests in order to help him.

However, Jiang Shaoyou's impression of Zeng Zijin is not bad, so he ...... Even if he won't help Zeng Zijin, he will never deliberately point out two rough stones that are impossible to open jadeite to Zeng Zijin.

Seeing Jiang Shaoyou's embarrassed look, Zeng Zijin smiled freely and said, "Did I say that you are so embarrassed?" It's okay...... I also know that gambling on stones is a bet nine out of ten, and I just can't make up my mind for a while, I want you to give me a counselor, even if the rough stone you choose for me can't cut out the jade, buddy will definitely not blame you, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Hearing Zeng Zijin say this, Jiang Shaoyou felt a little ashamed, and after thinking about it again, he said, "That's it...... Actually...... I also don't know much about gambling stones. However, my intuition has always been more sensitive, why don't you tell me the number of the rough stone you are optimistic about, and when it is your turn to look at the rough stone, I will feel it again, if it doesn't feel good, you'd better not shoot it, how about it? ”

"Intuition...... Interesting! Zeng Zijin laughed and said, "That's okay...... I've got a total of five rough stones, huh...... Specifically, these circles are drawn, and Brother Lao will help me take a look at them later! ”

Jiang Shaoyou took the photo album of the lots he handed over, looked at the numbers of the five rough stones marked by Zeng Zijin, and saw that all these five rough stones had a starting price of more than 1 million, and one of them was actually the first one that Jiang Shaoyou saw with a starting price of 1.8 million, but there was no jade pit daddy rough stone in it!

In this way, Jiang Shaoyou can see through one less piece again, but he didn't directly say that this piece of rough stone can't be bought, but just nodded, indicating that he knew it in his heart.

Fortunately, Zeng Zijin didn't have many rough stones, and Jiang Shaoyou had recovered about one-third of his spirit after taking a nap just now, and it was estimated that it should not be a problem to see through ten or eight rough stones. Originally, Jiang Shaoyou was going to casually look through ten rough stones in the auction process to see if he could find another more valuable rough stone. But since he promised Zeng Zijin, let's do him a favor.

Help Zeng Zijin take a look at the jade rough stones that he was originally optimistic about, so that it will not constitute any loss to Jiang Shaoyou's own interests, because since those rough stones are Zeng Zijin is optimistic, he will naturally participate in the bidding later. And given the current relationship between the two, even if there is really a jade in the rough stone that Zeng Zijin is optimistic about, Jiang Shaoyou will definitely not compete with Zeng Zijin. However, if Jiang Shaoyou finds that among the few pieces of jade rough that Zeng Zijin wants to photograph, which one is simply garbage, he only needs to remind Zeng Zijin, and Zeng Zijin can avoid spending money in vain. So in this way, it did not damage his own interests, but it also helped Zeng Zijin a lot, which is a win-win situation.

Of course...... This method should also be based on Zeng Zijin's trust in Jiang Shaoyou, if Jiang Shaoyou reminded him which rough stone he couldn't buy at that time, but Zeng Zijin didn't believe in that evil, and had to spend a sky-high price to auction it, then Jiang Shaoyou would have no choice!

It's just that Jiang Shaoyou is obviously not an expert in gambling stones, at least it is impossible for others to know that he still has the ability to see through the original stone, so whether Zeng Zijin can really believe Jiang Shaoyou's words, this is probably difficult to say. But Jiang Shaoyou just wants to be worthy of my heart, as for Zeng Zijin whether he believes it or not, then let him be.

When the two were talking, another piece of jade rough was auctioned. Because there are a total of 300 rough stones to be auctioned, the speed of the auction has to be tightened, and after a rough stone is pushed up, no one shouts within fifteen seconds of starting to bid, and it is considered a failed auction. Because everyone has already chosen their target before the auction, it is enough to wait fifteen seconds after bidding for a rough stone. If someone wants to shoot, they don't need to think about it for so long, and if no one wants to, it will be in vain to wait for a long time.

Then, the staff immediately pushed the unsold rough stone down, and at the same time, two other staff members pushed up another rough stone with a small cart, and the auctioneer on the stage checked the label attached to the rough stone and began to explain: "The next thing to auction is ...... No. 017 jadeite rough stone, the starting price is 150,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan each time. Now the bidding begins...... 150,000 ...... Does anyone want 150,000? ”

This jadeite rough stone numbered 017 is the one that Jiang Shaoyou fancies, and there is a rough stone of ice jadeite hidden in it! However, in order to avoid being seen by others that he was in a hurry, Jiang Shaoyou did not rush to ask for the price, but waited for a while, and when the auctioneer called for the third time, Jiang Shaoyou raised the sign in his hand and said, "One hundred and fifty thousand ......."

Regarding the rules of the auction, Jiang Shaoyou also had a general understanding of it beforehand. If you are worried that you will attract the attention of others after bidding and compete with you, so you expect the rough to be auctioned off, and then go back and buy the rough at the reserve price, it is impossible.

Liu Haitao is not a fool, of course, he will not allow this kind of thing to happen, and the way to avoid this kind of thing is very simple, that is, the rough stones that are sold in this auction will not continue to be sold in this processing plant, but will be exchanged with other rough auctions. Other words...... After today's auction, there is no telling where these unsold rough stones will be shipped, and if you want to pick up the leaks afterwards, there is absolutely no way!

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Shaoyou had to shout the price.
