Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Auction Begins
The next day, Zhang Xinyu came out in good spirits, while Wang Chao yawned for a while, and was a little embarrassed to see Suo Wencheng.
Lao Suo was a little sad: Wang Chao, this stinky boy, must have asked me to be my daughter last night, look, how ambiguous the expressions of the two are, and they are still avoiding me, hum, but he didn't make it clear, you love me for this kind of thing, why do you want to be a wicked person, just don't see it.
"Wang Chao, Xinyu, eat breakfast quickly, let's go to Qujiangshan in a while"
"Godfather, I don't want to go today, didn't I start bidding tomorrow, we already saw it yesterday, and I want to go around today."
"Ah, I read all the wool in one day yesterday?" Lao Suo looked at Wang Chao a little strangely, "Don't tell me that you kid has been selected"
"Uncle Hehesuo, I did read it once, and I have already chosen what I like, but the reserve price has not been set yet, and there is nothing to see today, so I want to take a day off and go directly to the auction tomorrow"
Seeing the appearance of the two of them swearing, Lao Suo was not urging, anyway, Wang Chao's vision has already seen, and he selected so many wool materials in just a moment last night, it is estimated that he has a special method of gambling stones.
He didn't continue to persuade him, and when he left, he said a meaningful sentence to Wang Chao, "Boy, take it easy, the coming day will be long" After speaking, the butt of the Buick business car smoked and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wang Chao didn't understand his words, and he didn't think about it deeply, and then the two of them began to visit Meijiang City.
A day of time to spend a good time, the scenery here is pleasant, a lot of northerners, especially the northeast people buy industries here, come here for vacation in winter, now meet a few northeast people on the street, from the Spring Festival to now, has not left, said that the climate here is really good. Prepare to stay on a permanent basis.
Wang Chao secretly envied the chic of others, and didn't know when he would be able to be so unrestrained, act recklessly, don't think about other things, and live as long as he wants.
Towards the end of the evening, the two of them finally finished shopping here, in fact, most of the cities in the north and south of the mountains are similar, and this place is no exception, although there are many unique scenery and cultural landscapes. But driven by trillions of domestic demand, renovated roads and new real estate can be seen everywhere, traffic jams have become commonplace, destroying the tranquility of small cities.
Back to the hotel, continue the game that the two of them didn't finish last night - fighting the landlord, the two of them played this game for half a night last night, and said that whoever loses will play who's brain. Wang Chao naturally lost one after another without using his abilities, and there are still faint red marks on his head.
In fact, when Wang Chao came, the most difficult thing was in the process of playing. Occasionally, I don't know whether Zhang Xinyu deliberately or unconsciously exposed the "spring light", which made Wang Chao's eyes burn, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and he was shot N brain crashes again and again when he was not concentrating. It's really an ordeal.
Seeing that Zhang Xinyu continued to play with this today, he not only changed his face and color, but begged for mercy. "Grandma, please spare me, let's change it, you can't always bully me with this"
"Hmph, who made you not have a good time, said, where are your eyes? Don't think I don't know."
It turned out that people knew in their hearts that naturally Wang Chao begged for mercy for a long time, and when he saw that he was really afraid, Xinyu naturally did not "chase the poor man with the remaining bravery".
The two of them didn't wait for Suo Wencheng, they ate some local snacks near the hotel, although it didn't look very hygienic, but the taste was not bad, there was no Suo Wencheng and the guests beside them, Zhang Xinyu also left behind the ladylike demeanor, feasting, Wang Chao not only smacked his tongue when he saw it,
"Grandma, you eat slowly, don't be afraid to hold on, you're the third bowl, I can't even eat it, can you still eat it?"
"I want you to take care of it, my aunt and grandmother don't eat fat, and I haven't let you raise it yet, I'm afraid I'll eat too much, hum"
Wang Chao was painstaking.
finally finished eating, and the eldest lady who supported her almost reached the highest level of eating - "walking against the wall".
It was not so much that he was holding Wang Chao's arm, but that Wang Chao was holding her, and it was estimated that he would fall down as soon as he let go.
After eating, the two of them walked slowly forward along the street, digesting while walking, seeing that it was not far from the hotel, and it was also digested, and suddenly heard a group of people arguing in front of them, and they were on the way back to the hotel, and they couldn't hide.
Hear it clearly when you get closer, it looks like a person has stolen someone else's things, and he is surrounded by people, and he has to take them out, otherwise he will look good.
"Boy, you're not a local, you actually stole from our Jin Sanye, you're not small, let's say, are you going to be private or public?"
"I didn't steal anything from you, it's mine, you want to get rich"
"Shame on you, brothers, hit him"
After speaking, he heard the sound of fists and feet hitting the flesh, this Leng is silent, he is really a tough guy.
At this time, Wang Chao and the others had already come closer, and they were just about to go farther away, when the person who was surrounded suddenly kicked the people in front of them, rushed out of the encirclement and ran towards Wang Chao and the others.
Wang Chao was afraid of running into Zhang Xinyu, so he hurriedly pulled her down, at this time, the person had already run to him, and the group of people behind him also chased closely, the two groups of people were only about 10 meters apart, the person had already run past Wang Chao, but just ran over, suddenly Wang Chao felt a sinking in his pocket, as if there was something more.
His heart moved, and he hurriedly pulled Xinyu to hide on the side of the road, and the group of people behind him came to them, and the chased person in front turned his head like running across the road, and at this moment, a car came on the left, under the dazzling light, this person and the car came to a close contact, just in front of everyone's eyes, was hit and flew up more than two meters high, and then fell heavily on the road, the company also braked the car, and a driver ran over to see.
The group of people chasing behind also stopped, you look at me, I look at you, one of them took the lead and waved his hand, and the group of people hula got into the alley and disappeared.
This scene happened in less than a minute, Wang Chao and Zhang Xinyu were also stunned, and then Xinyu dialed 110 to call the police, and at the same time Wang Chao ran to the middle of the road to see the hit, only to see blood rushing out of his mouth and nose, and he couldn't do it when he saw the person, and then the two of them also left quickly and returned to the hotel.
Do your best, let it be fate, the two of them lost the mood to laugh at night, and sat for a while. Then they went back to their rooms to rest.
Wang Chao took off his clothes and was just about to wash, when he suddenly touched a hard thing in his pocket, remembered that it was the person who stuffed it into his pocket at that time, closed the curtains, took out the thing and saw that it was a box, dark and heavy, with his hand, it was very heavy. I don't know what it's made of.
I looked for it, and found that the box had no lock, wrong, it was not that there was no lock, but that he couldn't find the lock there, he turned it over and looked at it for a long time, and he didn't know what it was, saying that it was a box, but there was no lock; It may also resemble a solid block of wood. It's just that there are a few bending lines on each of the several faces, and I don't know what they are for.
Later, I saw that I really didn't understand it, so I lost interest, but I didn't lose it. Instead, put it in your suitcase and wait until you go back to Yanjing to find someone who knows how to take a look.
got up and knocked on the door of Suo Wencheng's room, but there was still no movement, it seems that he has not returned. So he went back to his room.
Pick up the small notebook and re-evaluate the stones that I selected in Area B yesterday and mark them. After the labeling, I was not only shocked, but there were a total of about 200 pieces of wool recorded here, all of which were genuine, but the purity was different and the size was different.
Even so, it is estimated that the reserve price of these 200 pieces of wool is 120 million, not counting the eight pieces, and Wang Chao estimated it at 2 million each, although it is not low, but if it is solved, the value of each piece will not be less than 100 million, so let's act at the opportunity.
Now there are 8 pieces in area B and 3 pieces in area A, which add up to 11 pieces of wool that can produce the best ice species, and Wang Chao thinks it is very beautiful when he thinks about it.
After finishing the notes, I put them in my pocket and took them out according to the auction when I was ready to bid the day after tomorrow.
Lying on the bed, thinking of the car accident that happened on the road tonight, not only sighed at the fragility of life, but also just thought about it, and did not take it too seriously, and then put everything aside and entered the Sky Peeping Tower to meditate and cultivate.
The next day, the three of them had breakfast and went straight to Qujiangshan in a car in good spirits, ready to participate in the auction meeting.
Today's Qujiangshan is more people than in the past, private dishes and taxis on the road are lined up in a long line, fortunately a few people came out early, if the valuation is delayed, it will be blocked in the middle of the mountainside.
Even so, the speed of the car is not much faster than walking to the top of the mountain, between which there are many additional security guards, and even the local government has sent police to maintain the restraint, and there must be an accident - today is the day of the auction, that is, the day to see the light of "real money", if there is a robbery, not only will it have a great impact on the business here, but also will affect the image of the government, so although this is a private gambling stone conference, but the local government has also given considerable attention, A number of police officers are stationed here to maintain order.
The three of them walked into the hall, where the position of the tables and chairs had changed, there were only chairs, no tables, and there was a button on the right side of each chair, which was used for voting. Then find a seat in the front row near the middle.
They all have invitations, so they can sit at will.
At ten o'clock, the hall was full and full, and then the security guards began to close the hall door. A fat man in his 40s came up at the front desk, Wang Chao was not only stunned when he saw it, "Isn't this a hairy boss, how can he also participate", and looked at Suo Wencheng with questions.
"This is not surprising, Lao Mao is the largest gambling stone tycoon in the local area, and people have been in this line since their ancestors, and he has been in this generation for four generations, so as long as the Meijiang River holds a gambling stone conference, he will generally be invited to be the host. Hehe, he has enough weight, and everyone in the circle obeys him. Suo Wencheng explained to Wang Chao in a low voice
Wang Chao nodded, at this moment, he listened to Lao Mao above, it was nothing more than being invited by the organizer to be the host, it was an honor, and he was a little worried, worried that he would not be competent, but since the organizer trusted him, he could only catch the ducks on the shelves, and asked the bosses present to take care of polite words such as more care.
It seems that this person is proficient, and it is estimated that he usually does this kind of role.
After about two minutes of talking, the official start was announced.
Due to the large number of auctions, the method of electronic bidding was adopted, that is, each person entered the wool number they wanted to auction into the computer, and entered their own reserve price, there are two ways, one is the way of a fixed price, and the other is the way of bidding, in which the whole wool area in Area A takes the way of a fixed price, if you set a high reserve price, you will get it at one time; If the order is low, sorry, it will become someone else's, and all the auctions are anonymous to avoid exposing personal names and causing unnecessary trouble. The wool area of the window in Area B is mainly auctioned, and the one with the highest price wins.
I gave everyone about 10 minutes to enter the price, and it officially started at 10:15.
There was silence on the field, everyone was bowing their heads to enter the wool they were optimistic about, Wang Chao thought to himself, fortunately he had made an estimate in advance, otherwise he might not have finished entering it in ten minutes.
In fact, it is him, who is the other person who blocks more than 300 pieces of wool at one time, which adds up to more than 200 million funds, who is willing to use this money to block their own luck, then don't find themselves sick, it is a lot to block more than ten yuan, so compared to him bowing his head and entering it into the computer, others are thinking more about the reserve price of the auction, rather than crackling on the keyboard.
Soon at 10:15, Boss Mao announced the start of the auction, first comparing the computer floor price of Area A, and the highest price was won.
Wang Chao valued the three pieces of excellent wool at 2 million yuan at the beginning, and then thought about it, and each added 800,000 yuan, each quoted 2.8 million yuan, and the other more than 100 pieces were priced from 50,000 to 1 million yuan according to the quality of the jadeite contained in their own perspective in advance.
The computer price comparison soon came out, as expected, the three pieces of the best wool first ranked first in the price list, the front of the large LCD electronic screen while displaying the quotation, while showing the appearance of the wool, 360 degrees of selection to show people, I heard someone next to the discussion,
"Brother, who is so generous, 2.8 million to buy such a small piece of wool, unless there is ice in it, there is no profit"
"Alas, I also fell in love with this at the time, but the price was only 900,000, I originally thought it was already a high price, but I didn't expect that there was really a big wrong, and I paid such a high price."
……
Seeing that the three pieces had been pocketed, Wang Chao breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at the more than 100 pieces of wool he selected, and sure enough, he only bought 65 pieces, and all the others were obtained by other people who offered higher prices. (To be continued......)
