Chapter 128: The Auction Begins
Zhou Huan took off the mask at this time, changed his clothes, and changed all the obvious features. Although the Zebulun family was looking for Zhou Huan's face on the mask, Zhou Huan also changed his up and down repeatedly, and even acquaintances might not recognize him at this time.
Dill has been killed, and the first thing he did when he came to the Empire has been done. As for the consequences, he never thought about these things. Even if the Zebuluns knew, what would it be? They have no evidence, as long as they can't help Zhou Huan in the general situation, he is not afraid. And now that Zhou Huan's strength is already very strong, if the Zebulun family is still not self-sufficient, then he doesn't mind killing people again.
The third day of Diel's killing was also the time for Tiancheng Auction House to auction Zhou Huan's jade stone. After Zhou Huan dressed everything, he came to Tiancheng Auction House again. This time, Lu Wei was waiting for Zhou Huan at the door. The moment she saw Zhou Huan, her face was obviously happy.
Then he hurriedly walked over and said to Zhou Huan: "This honorable guest, Lord Rogge has asked me to wait here for a long time, let me take you in." ”
Zhou Huan nodded, and walked into the auction house with Lu Wei. At this auction meeting, Lu Wei brought Zhou Huan to a VIP room. The inside is fully enclosed, which is also a protection for some people.
Of course, the VIP room is not so easy to enter, at least there must be a strong shili or money. Zhou Huan was able to take out such a stone, which already represented his extraordinary, and of course it was understandable to enter here.
Diere's death, although it set off a great wave in the empire. But that's not a big deal after all, especially for a place like this. At most, it will not make too many people sad if it is said after dinner. Something like this happened to the Zebrunn family, some people talked about it, some people gloated, anyway, it was what it should be.
Of course, the auction house went on as scheduled, and Zhou Huan's piece of jadeite rough also attracted a large number of people who bought jadeite rough after the auction house's publicity. So this time, Tiancheng Auction House finally became lively.
There are some rich people, because they know about this stone, of course, there are also a lot of people who come to buy it, and maybe some come to see the excitement. But it is not denied that this stone does make many people flock to it.
There are several jade shops on the mainland, among which the one in the Xihua Empire is Dexiang Zhai. This is a very large jadeite trading house, and many precious jadeite carvings are from here. This is a century-old brand, Tong Su is not bullied, and it is also a very haode firm.
There are also many other jadeite firms, and now there are very few jadeite productions, although many firms can make some jadeite, but they are some third-class goods, and they cannot become real mainstream products at all. The value of jadeite is very high, and it is precisely because of this that in the eyes of the jadeite line, the common people are not the real sales object of these jadeite houses. They tend to sell to the wealthy, and the aristocracy.
Only these people will buy jadeite, and they can afford to buy it. Then what they buy can't be those popular goods, and they will naturally pick a lot of haode. The high-grade jadeite, coupled with those famous hand-carvings, can really be sold to those nobles and celebrities.
But now, although they have ordinary stones, and those who are of the medium level, they really lack the real superlative. This is also the reason why the price of jadeite is rising in weishenme, now.
Rare things are expensive, and many times, jadeite has become a gift between nobles and celebrities. Most of the people who celebrate their birthdays and who are married should write how many gold coins they want to give as gifts? Of course, it is the best small object, and it will not drop in price or be too public. This is the reason why jadeite has become the mainstream, and it is precisely because of this that Zhou Huan's small jadeite rough stone has also attracted those big guys who can also do jadeite. ...,
Of course, although Zhou Huan's rough stone is precious, there are other things that need to be auctioned. Zhou Huan's stone is the most precious finale. Zhou Huan looked at the somewhat lively appearance of this shooting ranking, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. If you show them the superb jadeite, the imperial green of the glass species, although it is only the size of a fingernail, it is estimated that it can cause a bigger battle.
The things that were auctioned before were difficult to make Zhou Huan any interested. Now Zhou Huan is only interested in some really useful things, and as for those messy things, Zhou Huan doesn't want to take a look.
However, there are also things that interest Zhou Huan, such as building weapons. Maybe Zhou Huan doesn't lack his own weapons now, but he still has those subordinates who are not. Especially those orcs, look at their poor, they are just holding bone knives.
Even with a bone knife, it's very powerful, but it's cold to look at. Zhou Huan, as a lord, naturally has to think about his subordinates. Needless to say, weapons and equipment are available, although he has a large number of dwarves who can craft weapons. But most of them don't fit into the tall bodies of orcs.
However, if you start to make equipment, then Zhou Huan lacks rigid iron, which must be solved. So Zhou Huan inquired about the situation with Lu Wei, hoping to find a place with steel. Whether it's his summoning skills or the dwarven blacksmithing, he can create a real equipment weapon for his men.
Zhou Huan is only interested in those steels now, and he is against steel, and Zhou Huan bought them. In order to plan for the future, Zhou Huan asked Lu Wei and told him that the money would be deducted from the jade he got. Of course, Lu Wei knew that there was nothing in these things, so he readily agreed.
Soon, Zhou Huan has spent more than 100,000 bills. However, Zhou Huan got tens of thousands of catties of fine steel. It is estimated that this steel will allow the dwarves to create Haode equipment and weapons.
At this time, the host said loudly: "This time, the auction house has finally reached the most critical moment." I believe most of them came for this item, and now, let's start auctioning off this item. A superb, jadeite rough. ”
The host quickly lifted the covering cloth, and soon, the jade rough revealed its original appearance. A crystal clear green stone, this is the jade that Zhou Huan took, the imperial green of the glass species. A fist-sized piece, such a size, but it is truly superb.
A small piece can be worth a million, let alone a big fist. With such a size, it is estimated that it can make a pair of bracelets. "Now, let's start bidding. This piece of glass is planted with imperial green, and the price is 500,000 birr, starting now. ”
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
"Eight hundred thousand!"
This stone sparked a huge craze. Many, start bidding. If it is according to the real value, maybe this piece of jadeite can only reach about 500,000. But what kind of place is this, it is an auction house, and the auction house is a place where profits are maximized. Coupled with the fact that those big guys in the jade industry began to compete, then I really don't know how far it can go.
However, those bigwigs of the jade shop have not started bidding until now. Because they know that the bidding has not yet begun.
Now the bidders are just those who have a fluke mentality, or some trust, so that this stone can play a larger range. These are common tricks used by auction houses, and many people know about them, but they don't stop them. Because of this, we can really dispel those who are not self-sufficient.
Almost in just a few minutes, the value of this piece of jadeite has risen to 400,000, and depending on the situation, there is still no intention of stopping. At this time, those people in the jade line finally made a move. ...,
"One and a half million!"
"One and a half million, someone pays 500,000, is there a higher price. The host shouted excitedly, setting the mood for this auction. Now, at the most critical moment, it is certain that Zhou Huan will be able to make a lot of money with a stone. But how much can be earned, Zhou Huan also has some expectations.
"Hehe, Dexiangzhai finally couldn't help but intervene, it seems that their strength is still not good. "An old man, sitting in the VIP room at this time, leisurely drinking red wine. From the hand in which he held the goblet, he could see that he had a large wrench on his thumb and a green gemstone ring on his middle finger.
This ring and a wrench are all made of Haode jadeite rough stones, and after polishing, they bloom into a beautiful Guanze. It can be seen from this that the person in front of him must be a person who is either rich or noble.
A middle-aged man behind him laughed and said: "Dexiangzhai has been at a disadvantage in the past two years with our family, and the recent jadeite shortage crisis, they have also been hit very hard. If they can't find a piece of jade that can make Dexiang Zhai famous, I'm afraid their business name will shrink greatly. ”
"Yes, while the ring in front of them can bring them back to life for a while, it will be us who will win in the end, unless they find a vein of jade. Otherwise, in three years at most, I will turn all their Dexiangzhai into our Wendong Society. ”
In the other VIP room, a pair of grandparents and grandchildren are here. The old man had gray hair, and the wrinkles crisscrossed his face, and you could see the wind and frost he had experienced. The other was just a young woman, dressed in emerald green, with black hair scattered over her shoulders.
I saw that this girl had a beautiful face, especially a pair of beautiful eyes, which were particularly shining. The white skin and slender body are also a beautiful embryo.
And this old man and young man were staring closely at the jade rough on the table at this time, they were the leaders of Dexiang Zhai. The old man's name is Tan Dexiang, and he is the head of Dexiang Zhai. And the girl was his granddaughter, because the girl's parents had long since become obsolete, and only he was a bad old man and a child.
