“Today’s eighth lot. Ice Seed Floating Flower Jadeite Bright Material, weighing thirty-nine point eighty-eight pounds, with a starting price of five million RMB, and a minimum increase of one hundred thousand each time, please bid friends ……”

The auction is still going on, from the third piece of icy material, the auction price are above thirteen million, just shot the seventh piece of jade, even reached fifteen million eight hundred thousand, the mood of these jade bosses under the stage, all were mobilized, Zhuang Rui and others naturally look in the eyes, happy in the heart.

“Thirteen million ……”

“Thirteen million eight hundred thousand ……”

“I’ll offer sixteen and a half million ……”

Jade bosses present, all know want to low price will be these jadeite in the bag, almost impossible, so the beginning of the bidding, was white-hot, but the last ringing of that some raw shouting price, or to the crowd startled, this is only called the price of the three mouths, was actually mentioned more than sixteen million. Induced the people in the field, have followed the sound to look.

“How is a foreigner?”

Let the crowd is a little surprised, shouting the price of this, actually is a high nose blue-eyed white foreigner, look at the appearance is difficult to judge his age, wearing is also very general, the lower body of the jeans at the knee worn out several holes.

At this time this foreigner is a face of innocence and the crowd looked at, on the crowd slightly hateful gaze some puzzled, he will be in the heart also wonder it, who also did not stipulate that the foreigner can not shout the price ah!

“Can’t I bid?”

The foreigner finally could not resist the eyes from all directions, stood up, loudly asked the host on the stage, although the Chinese language is not very authentic, but the crowd is very clear to hear the meaning of his words.

The temporary guest auctioneer on the stage was also a bit at a loss for words, this jade bidding fair, that was labeled as an international one, it shouldn’t prohibit foreign friends from participating in the auction, right?

“This gentleman, of course, your bid is allowed, please sit down!”

After exchanging with the people behind him, the host gave the answer, although it made the bosses in the field a bit dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do, the highest bidder wins, it has always been the unbreakable truth in the auction house.

“Don’t let the foreign devils auction away the emerald ah!”

“That is. All bid ah! So many people can’t beat a foreigner, it’s a shame to tell the world!”

All kinds of discussion sound in the auction site rang, but it is all thunder but no rain, just say no practice, waited for a full three minutes, may be really can’t see past, Han boss shouted out a price: “seventeen million ……”

“Seventeen and a half million ……”

The foreigner followed by another five hundred thousand up, this time even Han boss is not silent, he is to do business, but not to gamble with the foreigner, said he has shot two pieces of jadeite material, on the remaining pieces of material, the heart is not so thirsty.

In fact, the field has the strength to shout a high price of people, not a few, but they are guilty of a common problem, there is a kind of fluke mentality, that is, think there are still seven or eight pieces of wool, perhaps they can buy it cheaper, but forget the Wei Zijiang with the lowest price just now, two pieces of material in succession to auction away the lesson.

“I think I’ve seen this person somewhere before?” Song Jun, who was sitting next to Zhuang Rui. Frowned.

“Right, I remember, I’ve seen this person in Myanmar, Old Han and the others should all know him too!” Song Jun said to himself.

“Brother Song, what is this foreigner’s origin?”

As long as the money is paid, the emerald is who gets, Zhuang Rui is not very concerned, the emerald and not China’s national treasure, who loves to fight who fights to go, just to raise the price, maybe earn or foreign exchange, but for the only foreigner in the field, Zhuang Rui is full of curiosity about his origins.

“Oh, this foreigner is British, called Christie, in Burma is a big famous ah! Don’t look at him dressed badly, but he is seriously a billionaire ……”

Song Jun on this person’s origin, also seems to be heard from elsewhere, but if it is true, this called Christie’s British, is really a legend!

As we all know, Burma is the source of the rise of the gambling stone, because of this, many people with dreams of making a fortune, are trying to exhaust all kinds of ways to run to Burma to take risks, most of them are carrying hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, thinking of getting rich overnight.

But gambling on stones is supposed to be a mixture of profit and risk. Some boast as a connoisseur of the treasure connoisseur spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars to buy the “jade” in all likelihood is a common stone, ten gambling nine collapsed said these people, but there are also lucky, solve out of the stone sold at a sky-high price, but the chances of such a thing, often even less than one percent.

Christie was just a small British jeweler, after arriving in Burma, he had also gambled a few times on wool, but all the gambling collapsed, and then he changed his strategy, only to buy the jadeite bright material.

Christie in Burma around to find information, just need to know who has cut the hands of pure high-grade jadeite material, will be the first time to rush to talk with them.

Gamblers in Burma, and domestic gambling psychology is different, where the people who bet on the rise, as long as it is to give cash will be eager to get out, and Christie can always meet their requirements.

Because most of the buy are jadeite material, its own price is very expensive, to get is not multiplied profit, but Christie again and again after changing hands to get the difference, a few years down the line, actually become a billionaire, this thing has been rumored to be a good story in Burma.

At this time, some people in the field also recognized Christie. There was a lot of talk, but there was no one to offer again, the host waited for a while, the hammer pricing, the eighth piece of wool was Christie with seventeen and a half million dollars auctioned away.

Only, in the subsequent auction, these lucky jade bosses, tasted the bitter fruit of wait and see, the back of the eight pieces of ice kind of bright material auction, actually not a piece of lower than the price of Christie shot.

A friend said, selling expensive I can not buy ah! Just do not buy now, and then later to buy, the price will only be higher, Pingzhou Jade Bidding Fair, almost can be said to be the wind vane of the domestic jadeite prices, the price of today’s auction, in fact, is also the price of the domestic jadeite bright material, to do a positioning.

Auction fire, not only out of the many jade bosses unexpected, is Zhuang Rui and others is also completely unpredictable, from the third piece of jadeite bright material to start, shot on the price all the way up.

From the twelfth piece of wool, it broke through the twenty million single price, to the last two pieces of icy material, but also were shot out twenty-two million eight hundred thousand and twenty-four million five hundred thousand days to the price.

“The last lot in today’s field, oil clear seed floating flower jadeite, the starting price of half a million ……”

Now the field in the auction, is the last two pieces of oil clear species of wool, due to the two pieces together but more than ten metric kilograms, and the texture is also not much different, it will be combined in the auction together.

“Five hundred and fifty thousand ……”

“Six hundred thousand ……”

“Six hundred and eighty thousand ……”

May be stimulated by the price of the previous ice seed material, this piece of average quality oil clear seed material, also coaxed by the crowd, the price is rising.

“The old …… youngest, it’s not good! This sixteen pieces of ice seed jadeite, do you know how much money sold?”

At this time this auction, has been considered to enter the end, Zhuang Rui is Song Jun whispering chatting the day, Wei brother holding a cell phone, is using the calculator above to calculate the total price of the shot out of the emerald, the face of an unbelievable expression.

“How much? More than 100 million, right?” Zhuang Rui casually asked.

“Not counting this one that is now auctioned, there are already two hundred million and four hundred and eighty million ah! Youngest, you’re rich now.” Brother Wei was excited as if the money belonged to himself, bringing the numbers on the cell phone to Zhuang Rui’s eyes.

“Shit, is it really that much?”

Zhuang Rui was also shocked by the number. At the beginning he also calculated, but to the back of the lazy count, did not think that just sixteen pieces of material, has broken through the 200 million, if then counted to Qin Xuan Bing stayed in the two pieces, not ……

Zhuang Rui did not dare to think about it, in the beginning of the auction, he also in the heart masturbation, just that the situation is still unclear, and now the auction is about to end, those money is real immediately will belong to their own, although, just can share one-third of it.

“Snap!”

A gavel sounded from the stage.

“Congratulations to this gentleman, the last piece of auction, oil clear seed floating flower jadeite, one million twelve hundred thousand, belongs to you, everyone, today’s auction has been all over, seventeen pieces of auction without a first-class auction, thank you friends for your support, thank you all ……”

With the host of the curtain word on stage, the auction is considered a successful conclusion, of course, the word successful can only describe Song Jun and other emerald holders, those who bid to shoot the emerald, one by one, their faces are tense, there is not a trace of joyful expression.

Photographed to the jadeite hearts are not willing, did not photograph the boss also how not willing, may be in addition to Zhuang Rui and others, that is, Lei Lei grandfather they earned, not to mention, those two pieces of emerald if they are willing to bid, immediately can earn a twenty million or so, this is the importance of the eyesight and experience.

“Zhuang Rui, don’t turn off the phone! There will be someone else looking for you in a while.”

After Lei Lei gave Zhuang Rui a gesture to make a phone call, she also retired with the crowd, and now those who stayed behind were Song Jun Zhuang Rui a few parties, and Fatty Ma was talking to the organizing committee while skillfully handing out thick red envelopes to a few staff members, and Zhuang Rui saw that Fatty Ma stuffed a double portion of red envelopes into the pocket of the presenter whose voice was almost all shouted and smoked.

This red packet was prepared last night, each inside is 10,000 yuan, according to Fatty Ma’s statement, this is called profit, like in the casino in Macau pulled down the slot machine jackpot, are to give the staff to distribute the red packet.
