Chapter 8: Plain Eyesight
This time, two rough stones were lifted, each weighing a thousand catties, and each piece was carried up by four people. When it was placed on the booth, the bidders in the first few rows felt the ground shake twice.
"It's ...... Do you shoot two pieces together? A first-time attendee exclaimed.
"I don't have a long brain, this is the time to really test my eyesight." A slightly older man beside him glanced at him with disdain.
"What do you mean?"
"This is the highlight of this stone jamming conference, didn't you read what was written in the introduction book, these two rough stones come from two different origins, both are old pit jadeite.
There is only a small "skylight" on each stone, and all we can see is their skin and this small skylight. It depends on who has the vision to find which rough stone is more valuable from such a little clue, if you shoot the most valuable piece, not only will you double the profit, but also show your face greatly.
Proving his eyesight, his status in the industry will be greatly improved, and the associated intangible benefits will be greater.
Didn't you look at it, those two families before didn't even look at it, they were waiting for the big guy in the back.
If my guess is correct, these two stones are either surnamed Song or Li today. The older man shook his head and looked like a pedantic.
"Dear guests and friends who participated in tonight's gambling stone conference, the starting price of these two pieces of jadeite rough is 50 million, and the price will be increased by one million each time. Friends who are interested in the following can come to the stage in turn to take a closer look! The host wore a royal blue hollow cheongsam, showing his figure gracefully and gracefully, shining against the backdrop of the lights.
In normal times, everyone's eyes would definitely converge on such a big beauty, but now, their eyes were attracted by the two ugly-looking big stones on the stage.
Everyone in the audience was ready to move, whether they wanted to buy it or not, they all wanted to see what the rough stone of tonight's finale was.
Guess it yourself, even if you don't get your hands in the end, you can practice your eyesight and see for a long time.
The first people to go up were puzzled after looking at the two rough stones, and they looked back at the one on the left, but they were more interested in the one on the right.
Song Xiang and the experts found by the Song family also went up to take a closer look, and those experts were worthy of being knowledgeable, and they should be well-equipped, such as pen spotlight, magnifying glass, and dichroism, so they almost inserted their eyes into it to observe.
Looking at their expressions, they also seem to be more recognizant of the rough stone on the right, and look puzzled when they look at the rough stone on the left.
Song Xiang's attention at this time was not on the original stone, his eyes swept to Jian Bai sitting below from time to time, seeing that she looked down at the manual for a while, and seemed to be thinking about something for a while, but he didn't look at him on the stage.
He couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, once as long as he was there, her eyes had been following him, and now......
Each group has a time limit of five minutes to observe, and most of them are tactfully invited off the stage by the host when the time is up.
Song Xiang's group was no exception, until he went down, Song Xiang didn't look at the two rough stones very seriously, he knew that his opinion was not important, Song Jiacheng would only pay attention to the opinions of authoritative experts.
Sun Wanting, who was sitting in the audience, saw that Song Xiang hadn't looked at herself since she came on stage, and her eyes were always glancing at Jian Bai intentionally or unintentionally, and she gritted her teeth with hatred.
Basically, everyone who wants to go on stage to observe has already seen it, and there is no one on the stage anymore.
Jian Bai glanced at Li Tingchen, the other party Shi Shiran stood up, pulled the corner of his clothes with his hand, his waist looked straighter, he lowered his head slightly, raised his hand and made a gesture of please, obviously wanting Jian Bai to walk in front of him.
Ladies first? He still has this demeanor?
Jian Bai took a deep breath, stood up, and finally it was his turn to make a move, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. Whether she will smash her grandfather's signboard today depends on this.
She first came to the side of the rough stone on the right, looked at it carefully, and then touched the touch of the stone skin with her fingers.
"This skin is very lubricated and delicate, and it should be a good water stone skin." Li Tingchen stood aside and touched the stone skin with his hand, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or explaining to Jian Bai.
Jian Bai glanced at him and didn't speak, but found a crack on the rough stone and looked at it carefully, then frowned slightly, looked into the crack for another half a minute, and finally stood up straight and walked towards the rough stone on the left.
She touched the stone skin first, and then looked at the small skylight that had opened, and this time she observed much more carefully than the previous stone.
Especially at the position of the small open skylight, I tiptoed and watched for about a minute and a half.
"Don't you have a crush on this stone?" Li Tingchen hugged her shoulders and looked at her with a serious look, and suddenly felt that her little face was really cute.
Jian Bai ignored him, and after looking at it for a long time as if he was sure of something, he finally raised his eyebrows and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Let's go down!" Jian Bai took less than four minutes from the stage to the end of the watch.
It was the fastest to come down, and almost everyone else was persuaded to go down when the time came.
Seeing that no one came up to observe the rough again, the host announced the start of the auction.
First, decide which rough you want to photograph.
Li Tingchen glanced at Jian Bai, "It seems that I will compare my financial resources with the Song family today." ”
Apparently he thought that the Song family would choose the same rough stone as him, the one on the right.
Jian Bai pressed the hand he was about to raise, "Do you believe me?!" ”
"What do you mean?" Li Tingchen's face was a little unhappy, he didn't like others to question him, but he was not a stubborn person, "Let me believe you, and say the truth that convinces me." ”
"Pick the one on the left." Jian Bai didn't say why, "Trust my eyesight, I can make you a big show today." ”
"What are you kidding, the skin shell on the left is thick and messy, which means that the jade quality of the jadeite is also relatively coarse, the crystal particles are loose, and the arrangement is chaotic. Li Tingchen is not a layman, on the contrary, his background makes him much more powerful than the average expert.
Just now, he could already conclude with his naked eyes that the jade contained in the rough stone on the right was much more valuable than the one on the left.
Jian Bai saw that he didn't believe in himself, and he was a little anxious, the Song family had already made a choice, they really chose the rough stone on the right, and there were several strong families in the second row who also chose the one on the right.
"There are still thirty seconds left, please make your choice as soon as possible." The host looked at Li Tingchen when he spoke, and the meaning was obviously that he was left.
Jian Bai saw that his hand was about to be raised, and grabbed his hand, "Listen to me, I dare to guarantee that the one on the left is more valuable, and you see that now they have all chosen the right one, and the one on the left you choose will really shine!"
Isn't it just a sensation that you want? ”
Jian Bai grabbed Li Tingchen's hand with all his strength, and his nails were buttoned into his flesh, but neither of them noticed.
Not only Li Tingchen wanted this opportunity, Jian Bai also wanted to prove here that he was the heir of his grandfather Jian Pingzhi, once Jian Pingzhi chose a rough stone that no one wanted, and as a result, he opened a Tiancai and became famous in one fell swoop.
She wanted to too.
If you make a name for yourself here today, the road will be much easier in the future. Otherwise......
The emotions in Li Tingchen's eyes were surging, as Jian Bai said before, he didn't care too much about losing some money, but he chose the wrong stone and lost face, which means that his vision is not good.
In the jade industry, the most important thing is eyesight, and no one wants to cooperate with you if you don't have enough eyesight, and it will be even more difficult to mix in this industry.
Even Li Tingchen saw sweat on his forehead at this time, he was eager to enter this business, he also had the reasons he had to have, tonight was undoubtedly the best opportunity, he couldn't and didn't want to miss it.
The two stones were now in front of him, the one on the right was very safe, and even if it didn't make a big deal, it wasn't much worse, but the one on the left was ......
He really didn't know where Jian Bai could see that it was valuable, even more valuable than the rough stone on the right.
"Now enter the countdown, and if you don't make a choice, it means that you will automatically give up!" The host's voice rang out again, "Ten, nine, eight......"
In addition to the host's voice, there was no other sound in the audience, and it was a little quiet.
"I just met you, I don't know you, so ......" Li Tingchen lowered his voice and said in Jian Bai's ear, the warm breath blowing in her ears, but this time it didn't touch any of her emotions.
Looking at Li Tingchen's raised hand, Jian Bai's heart was sinking, after all, she was not a grandfather! He wouldn't believe her......
