Chapter 44: Bidding

Among the five rough stones sent to auction this time, four of them are wool that cannot be seen, and at least half of the bidders present are not proficient in gambling stones, rather than wasting money to buy a broken stone that is nothing, it is better to spend the money on the green rough stone that can be seen.

The rough stone is only two fists big, even if it is all good material, it is not much shocking, after all, everyone still remembers the jade jade rabbit opened by Wang Dali a few years ago.

Now this piece of rough exposed jadeite, although not as good as the jade jade rabbit, but no matter the water color, or quality, are superior, just evaluate the exposed section, has been worth millions, shoot back or a lot of money.

While the host introduced the lot, someone asked about the past.

"Brother Wen, I wasn't in Jinghua a few years ago, what's the matter with the Jade Rabbit?"

"You're asking me the right person, I was right there!" The man surnamed Wen shook his head and continued: "It's really a strange thing, the jade is ground on the spot, and after polishing, it is the shape of a rabbit, if it's just like this, it's not enough to be amazing, the magic is that there is a small thumb nail shell-sized red jade on both sides of one end of the jadeite, isn't it the rabbit's eyes!" ”

"This Wang Dali is really vicious!"

"In my opinion, this rough stone should not be bad."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a gray suit next to him retorted to him.

"Brother Wen, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, don't you forget what kind of situation Wang Dali is in now, if it's really a good material, if he doesn't hurry up and change some money, can he still leave us good things? Hmph, stop dreaming! ”

"The president doesn't know what's going on, but he actually let Wang Dali's unlucky guy enter this venue, and he is not afraid of bringing bad luck in!"

"That's right!" Another tall and thin man chimed in: "According to me, this rough stone is nothing more than gray sand stone that is green on the outside and white on the inside!" ”

"Gray Sandstone?"

The tall and thin man glanced at the table diagonally behind him and raised his voice: "Worthless broken stone!" You go to that construction site and grab a handful! ”

The man in the gray suit leaned closer and whispered to a few people: "Two years ago, he went to Myanmar and came to me to borrow money, you know, I have a lot of money, when he saw me refuse, he was so angry that he almost beat me to a serious injury!" So, Wang Dali brought this thing this time, and eighty percent of them wanted to rectify us people. ”

"This rough stone is at most a million yuan, and more than two million is not worth it." The tall and thin man said again: "What's the use of a big piece of jade in your fist?!" ”

The man surnamed Wen didn't speak, the man in the gray suit had a grudge against Wang Dali, and it was understandable that he didn't speak well, this thin and tall man was obviously a layman and didn't understand the depth of jade.

The value of jade, not just the size, the big one is priced high?

On the one hand, look at the quality of the jade itself, and on the other hand, also look at the craftsmanship of the carver.

Jadeite will generally be made into women's jewelry, less material, will be out of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and other things, the material is sufficient, generally into bracelets, in addition, there are various pendants that men like, such as Buddha statues, Guanyin statues, good water color, no cracks will be made into square cards, round cards.

Last year, in foreign auction houses, a sky-high jadeite object - a rare natural jadeite necklace was auctioned, and the transaction price was 168 million.

Eight years ago, in HK, an imperial green square card was also auctioned, and the final transaction price was 195 million.

In the space to speak, the host has finished introducing and announced the start of bidding for this rough stone.

"The starting price is 800,000 yuan, and the minimum price increase is 50,000 yuan each time, and the bidding starts now!"

"Mr. Table 8 holds up the card, 850,000!"

"The lady at table 11 holds up a card, 900,000!"

At the beginning of the bidding, Wang Dali picked up a tissue from time to time to wipe the sweat from his hands, he drank several sips of water in a row, and still felt that his throat was very dry and his mouth was astringent.

Time flies slowly, and the price rises more slowly.

The price starts at 800,000 yuan, and it refuses to rise until it reaches 1.9 million!

Seeing this scene, Wang Dali was a little anxious, just the exposed jade was worth 1.8 million, and in advance, he asked a few friends to look at each other, and they all thought that there was something inside.

A few years ago, just making a ring full of green glass could sell for 5.52 million for 32 grams.

Such good material, but it can only fetch 1.9 million?

For a while, Wang Dali didn't want to sell it, his psychological price was around 5 million, but he took it out, and it was too embarrassing for him to shoot it back by himself.

The most important thing is that Wang Dali can't come up with so much money.

But if it weren't for the lack of money, he wouldn't be willing to take it out.

After Wang Dali came back from Burma, he was extremely unlucky, holding a piece of good material in his hand, but he didn't dare to grind it out, for fear that his bad luck would infect the rough stone.

Especially in Myanmar and Yunnan, people who gamble on stones, before cutting stones, will go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, in order to bless not to open the leakage.

Where did Wang Dali have time to go to the temple, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, sweating profusely, praying for the price to rise again.

At the end of the corner of the table, a few people sat sparsely, all of whom were "focused on participation".

Xie Lai and Ye Qing came to join in the fun, but they didn't arrange their places, Ye Tianjun's assistant asked him and Ye Qing to go to the first row of seats, but he refused, and the assistant had to arrange them in an inconspicuous position as required.

Ye Qing's process of shooting the three rough stones in front of her was very smooth, no one competed with her, and the bidding didn't feel exciting, and Xie Lai still felt bored at the time.

At this time, seeing that Ye Qing wanted to participate in the original stone that had been photographed for 1.9 million, he was a little puzzled, didn't she say that there was a problem with this rough stone before, why did she still shoot?

Xie Lai pressed Ye Qing's hand that was about to be raised: "You want to shoot?" ”

He didn't think about how Ye Qing had the money to shoot, he was worried that she would lose money, and others were saying that this rough stone could not exceed 2 million, otherwise, it was very likely to lose money.

"You see, the vice president of the Cultural and Museum Association is shaking his head, and that Uncle Zhang, he is a senior collector, they didn't follow the photo, you ......" Xie Lai tried to persuade her: "You just photographed those three rough stones are enough for fun, don't shoot them." ”

Ye glanced at him, and then looked forward with a smile: "There are still materials in it." ”

"Why don't I shoot it?" Xie Lai was worried that if this rough stone couldn't be opened, Ye Qing would be much more sad.

Before the auction, buyers participating in the auction need to pay a deposit, and after Ye Qing registered, Xie Lai also followed to get a bidding sign.

Shelai's parents are doctors, but the family has a business, and he is not short of two million. Although Ye Qing didn't seem to be joking, just by looking at it, he could "say" that the bronze translucent mirror belonged to the Warring States Period, and of course Xie Lai believed her.

Even if there is a problem with this rough stone, it should not affect its value.

Xie Lai looked at Ye Qing's side face, and waited for Ye Qing to reply, but she directly held up the sign.
