Chapter 291: The Show Begins
The situation in front of us can only be seen to change. If Solang really wants to snatch the chalcedony at that time, she can only choose to sacrifice the jade egg in order to avoid disaster.
Ningxia temporarily withdrew his attention and turned it to Lu Xiangqin.
Ningxia originally thought that with Ning's strength, the ranking in the auction should be high, but he didn't expect that there were really many people with stronger backgrounds, and Lu Xiangqin was only ranked in the fourth row, and Li Shang represented by Cheng Shuo was in the same ranking.
"It seems that we still underestimate the charm of chalcedony, originally thought that chalcedony was not familiar to the world, so it could only attract the attention of people in the jade industry, but I didn't expect such a non-jewelry industry to come." Ningxia said to Xiao Chen with some feelings.
Xiao Chen smiled, agreed with Ningxia's words, and didn't say anything.
Ningxia is still worried, there are many people participating in the auction, which is a good thing, proving that chalcedony is very sought-after, and she may receive a very, very satisfactory auction price. However, her main purpose is not money, even if she can make money this time, no amount of money is as important as Ning's shares, there is no money to be earned, but Ning's shares are not something that can be obtained casually.
"If Lu Xiangqin doesn't have the strength to bid with other buyers, and the jade eggs fall into the hands of others, my plan will be in vain." Ning Xia sighed, feeling that the situation at this time was beyond her control, and a sense of powerlessness entangled her.
Xiao Chen smiled and said to Ningxia, "Do you know what the use of that piece of snake jade in your collection is?" ”
Ningxia was shocked, she did have a yellow snake jade, which was the piece of jade she got after she was almost killed by Tang Jing's dead liar. She just knew that it was a snake jade, looking at its texture similar to jadeite, as for the rest, she didn't know anything, this time she also put the snake jade that had been made into a hosta flower on display at the jewelry exhibition, Xiao Chen had also seen it, but she never told him, what was it, how did he know now?
"You know what?" Ningxia has a strong suspicion in her heart, she has a sense of crisis, Xiao Chen seems to know everything, knows everything, chalcedony, snake jade, he knows everything, this really makes Ningxia feel scared, he is too complicated, complicated makes her confused, I don't know if I can still have the courage to trust him.
"I've already taken that piece of snake. You'll see it later. Xiao Chen didn't know when he had taken the snake jade into his hand, and at this time a staff member brought an incense burner, Xiao Chen asked the staff member to put the incense burner on the table, and then he inserted the snake jade hairpin into the incense burner as an incense candle.
Ningxia looked at Xiao Chen a little blankly, not knowing what he was going to do. She only felt scared at this time, afraid that Xiao Chen was too unfathomable, afraid that he was not the one who could be by her side forever after all......
Xiao Chen seemed to notice Ningxia's unstable mood at this time, but he didn't come over to comfort him in time, but found sandalwood again, broke the sandalwood at about the same height as the snake hosta, and lit the sandalwood, and then the sparks from the incense burned on the snake jade, and Ningxia didn't smell anything at first, and slowly a fishy smell diffused out, Ningxia was familiar with these smells, because she had smelled such a smell on the two pythons, and suddenly the fear in her heart was released, and she stammered a little when she spoke, Ask Xiao Chen what he is doing.
Xiao Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Snake jade has two miraculous effects, and later, you can discover its first miraculous effect." ”
The more Xiao Chen played tricks like this, the more scared Ningxia became, she was even afraid that Xiao Chen was coming, grabbed Xiao Chen's hand tightly, and she whispered to Xiao Chen, "Can I trust you for the rest of my life?" Can I trust you for the rest of my life? ”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to hold Ningxia's face, and saw her uneasiness and fear from the bottom of her eyes, he sighed before whispering in his heart, "Drowning three thousand, only take one scoop to drink, this life is immortal, live up to it!" This was a promise he made to Ningxia from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't say it. Because in his cognition, promises are false, no matter how beautiful the promise is, it is just a representative form of good wishes, the important thing is to pay and act, he will take practical actions to make the insecure little woman in front of him, completely trust him.
"Trust is just a feeling, and I want to give you something more grounded, so please wait and see." Xiao Chen said to Ningxia with a smile, his attention was not entirely on Ningxia at this time, because his ears had already heard that the auction had been confirmed to have started and was already underway. "Wait until the auction is over, okay?"
Only then did Ningxia remember that she had neglected the most important thing. He nodded, then looked at the auction room, where bidding had already begun.
Because the starting price is as high as 500 million yuan, the increase in the bidding price is 2 million by default for each sign. The people who participate in the auction are still relatively rational, there is a break time between each price increase, the rhythm of the auction is still relatively slow, and a young and energetic person like Ningxia inevitably feels a little unacceptable, and feels like a bunch of terminally ill people who have a vague moaning between them, she feels quite breathless.
From 500 million to 600 million, it took more than an hour, and there seems to be no sign of the end, every time the main auctioneer shouts the price for the second time, someone starts to increase the price, and every time the price is raised, it can be seen that the buyers are after hesitation and repeated thinking.
Ningxia has been paying attention to Lu Xiangqin, and found that she has never bid, just like a bystander, looking at everyone who bids with a smile, which makes Ningxia a little confused, I don't know what this cunning woman is thinking in her heart.
"Lu Xiangqin is not as easy to deal with as I imagined." Ningxia had to admit this at the moment, and muttered in a low voice.
"This woman has been dormant for many years before she finally got everything she has now, how could she lose it so easily." Xiao Chen said his opinion beside him, as if he had never underestimated Lu Xiangqin.
Ningxia glanced back at him, there was more suspicion in her eyes, she couldn't underestimate Xiao Chen more and more, he knew too much about her, but her understanding of him was only superficial.
"So, isn't she going to make a move?" Ning Xia turned her head to look at Lu Xiangqin, and she admitted that she lacked the ability to anticipate at this time and lost her judgment of Lu Xiangqin.
"Not necessarily. This woman has many advantages that no man can match, but she also has a fatal flaw, that is, greed. If it weren't for her insatiable desires, she wouldn't have been bent on plundering what didn't belong to her. Xiao Chen's words surprised Ningxia a lot.
Ningxia nodded, this is indeed the case, then she will wait quietly below, if she can't catch the big fish of Lu Xiangqin today, she can only think of other tricks to deal with her in the future.
"Six hundred and thirty-eight million ......" A familiar man's voice sounded, and Ningxia's attention was attracted again.
The owner of this voice is Cheng Shuo. At this time, Ningxia found out that except for Lu Xiangqin, Cheng Shuo had not spoken much before, and this was the first time to make an offer.
"648 million ......" another familiar man's voice sounded, this time it was Suo Lang, this time he directly broke the range of two million each time he added, and directly crossed the increase of 10 million.
At this time, Ningxia felt that she really underestimated many people, and this Solang was richer than she imagined.
"660 million ......" An old man who wears myopia glasses and looks very happy, once again crossed a new scale of price increase.
Ningxia didn't know the man, looking at the man who was in his sixties, his hair was gray, but there was no fold on his face, and his white and smooth skin showed that this person was well-maintained. Ningxia picked up the list of people who participated in the auction and wanted to look at the seat card arranged and get to know the old man.
Xiao Chen smiled and said to Ningxia, "Don't look at it, this is the famous jade collection Mr. Liang Yi." ”
Liang Yi? Ningxia thought hard, and felt that this name seemed to be quite unfamiliar, it is said that a person of Mr. Liang's age, if it is a famous collector, she should be able to know, when her grandfather Wang Zhishan was alive, she was often taken by her grandfather to participate in some jade world gatherings, many famous artists in the collection world, she has seen it, but now it has been a long time, and it may not be so clear to remember, and it takes a little effort to recognize it when she sees someone, but the name, she should still be able to remember.
"This Liang Yi still has a certain relationship with your family, but this person is low-key, and many people are not familiar with him, but this person is very famous among the Chinese in Myanmar, because he is a well-known big man in the jade market, and often buys the best jade at sky-high prices, and now he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the well-known jade club in China." Xiao Chen was like an administrator in charge of the database, and there seemed to be nothing he was not familiar with.
"What is the relationship with our family?" Ningxia felt a little cold sweat, and asked Xiao Chen suspiciously, and at the same time she smiled bitterly in her heart, Xiao Chen seemed to know everything, if he approached her with other intentions, wouldn't she die miserably, and at this time she could only pray, I hope he sincerely stayed by her side!
"I'll tell you about that later." Xiao Chen sold a pass, and then reminded Ningxia that now is the time to pay attention to the situation at the venue. At the same time, Xiao Chen looked at the time again and whispered, "It's almost ......."
Ningxia immediately asked him what was almost there, but he smiled it off and only said, "You'll know later." ”
Ningxia had no choice but to continue to pay attention to the scene at the venue. At this time, she also found that the people who had placed bids at the beginning of the auction seemed to be unable to hold on, and only a very small number of people were still following the bids. At this time, the person with a higher bid density is the person who has not spoken out just now, and it seems that this is the main play later.
"Seven hundred million!" Another old man, who was also over 60 years old, raised a sign with a smile and made a sound, and the price soared to 700 million yuan. There was a slight stirring in the audience.
Ningxia clenched her fists, she was a little nervous, her palms were full of damp feelings, it seemed that now was the time for the show to begin.
