Chapter 0374 – Charity Auction (VII)
“Old Mr. Zheng said. This piece of jadeite raw stone, once recorded a part of his past, but also these decades, on his career will be bigger and stronger confidence on a kind of spur, if friends of this piece of raw stone have the intention to bid, can come up to observe ……”
The auctioneer’s words let the field of people stirred up, today’s auction of things, most are some of the scenery of the object, its real market value is not very high, there is no need to identify, which the eyes of the public, if you really go up to identify a piece of broken stone, that face can be a big loss of face.
So after the auctioneer shouted these words, not to mention no one to go forward, even shouting the price is not one, the scene suddenly appeared to be a little cold, and the face of that Zheng Gongzi, but also a little bit hung up.
In this kind of occasion each guest out of the object, the auction price of the item is high or low, can reflect the identity of its original owner, the higher the price. The higher the price, the master’s identity is also high, broad socialization, if the master out of the things, the auction price is very low, that the master’s popularity is general, no one is willing to support his field.
Elder Mr. Zheng has deep roots in Hong Kong, this stone he took out is certainly not the second case, just a piece of broken stone still want people to go up to look at it, inevitably a bit of a loss of status, that’s why no one has made a bid, after Mr. Zheng’s face changed for a moment, he made a wink to a person beside him, signaling him to make a bid.
“Can I take a look?”
Just as Zheng Gongzi’s friend was about to bid, Zhuang Rui’s voice rang out, causing the people in the arena to look towards him, with a hint of disdain in their eyes, a piece of broken stone still needs to be appraised, no money to pretend to be some kind of big tailed wolf ah!
Qin Haoran on Zhuang Rui’s move is also not very satisfied, as engaged in the jewelry industry, Mr. Zheng decades ago, the rumors of betting on this piece of wool, he has long been aware of, and even seen this piece of material left, there is no what can be gambled on, look at it is also a waste of time to look at, but was looked down upon.
Zhuang Rui did not care about other people’s eyes, after getting the auctioneer’s consent, frankly walked to the table. Pretend to observe this piece of raw stone is not very big.
That’s right, is pretending, in fact, now Zhuang Rui heart has long been happy flowers, just now he was not very much on this piece of stone, but when the aura into the original stone inside, he found that this piece of stone inside, there is actually a kind of emerald he has never seen.
Zhuang Rui play jadeite although not long, but can be said to be experienced, he opened the excellent jadeite, more than the average person to play a lifetime, but this is almost considered waste inside the piece of jadeite, is a color he has never seen: purple.
As we all know, the formation of emerald color conditions, is very harsh, in which the green is positive, but in some special environment, the original stone after the mutation, will also produce red, yellow, blue, purple and other colors, which also corresponds to what is often said of the blessing of life and happiness, some emerald. Will even appear at the same time these colors, if the seed water quality is high, then carved out of the object value is very high.
But monochromatic superb jadeite, the price to be more expensive, like the emperor green and blood jade red needless to say, in addition to the superb blue water, yellow jadeite, and purple eyes, which are also jadeite in the rare boutique, the price is no less than the emperor green.
And this piece of raw stone inside the jadeite, although not large, and a little scattered, only three egg yolks that size, there are some scattered in the middle of the smoky gray purple crystals, but the three egg yolks the size of the jadeite, the color is extremely colorful, that kind of pure purple, is Zhuang Rui never seen, and the head of the water is transparent, as if in the Xinjiang Jade King’s vineyard to see the grapes will soon be ripe in general, blowing can be broken, attracted the People salivate.
Even wrapped in this original stone, presented in Zhuang Rui eyes purple, is also that glorious, due to the blooming violet general, if the blood jade red represents the woman’s passionate and exuberant and sultry, this purple eyes are like Jiangnan woman general, give a person a kind of extremely flirtatious feeling.
Although the purple-eyed jadeite in this piece of raw stone is not very big, but if it is broken down into the shape of a grain of round beads, and then with other materials, to make a string of purple-eyed necklaces. That’s enough to make the world’s women go crazy, Zhuang Rui estimated in his mind, if it can really make that string of necklaces, I’m afraid that its value is going to be more than thirty million dollars.
“Three million has just been spent, and in the blink of an eye, I’ll be able to score thirty million dollars!”
Zhuang Rui was now happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still didn’t move, after holding the original stone in his hand and observing it for a few minutes, Zhuang Rui put it back into the tray on the table, looked at the auctioneer, and said lightly, “I bid fifty thousand dollars.”
Zhuang Rui’s bid made Old Mr. Zheng, who was sitting comfortably like a mountain, was taken aback; he kept this stone more as a kind of remembrance, a memory of the past, and for the original stone itself, he just treated it as a piece of scrap.
This time to put it out for auction, Mr. Zheng is also a whim, just now the heart has actually regretted, not reluctant, but this thing is too out of hand, Mr. Zheng is also afraid of other people bidding too low, their own face can not hang on.
Just did not expect Zhuang Rui a price is 50,000, Mr. Zheng is now in some doubt in his heart, himself and this young man has no connection ah? Other people seem to have no need to give themselves face, right?
“Well. A piece of waste material out of fifty thousand dollars, is also considered to have face, turn around to let Zheng Hua thank the young man ……”
However, Mr. Zheng then saw his grandson and the young man’s girlfriend just now standing together, his heart was relieved, so it is Zheng Hua’s friend, it is no wonder.
Just Mr. Zheng did not know, Zheng Hua is now also wondering it, originally around the people are going to shout the price, did not think that Zhuang Rui intervened, he overheard to see his grandfather is nodding and smiling at him, the heart is even more puzzled.
But Zheng Hua also dispelled the idea of bidding again. After all, a piece of broken stone, if you raise the price, people with clear eyes can see that their side is a trust, that would instead lose face.
“This mainlander is just weird, what’s the point of buying this broken stone!”
“Others are probably giving face to old Mr. Zheng, what’s so strange about that.”
“That’s right! Don’t say it’s a broken stone, even if old Mr. Zheng takes a toothpick out, he can still sell it ……”
The people in the hall heard Zhuang Rui bidding, said anything, but Zhuang Rui anyway, simply do not understand, simply turn a deaf ear, eyes just staring at that auctioneer, waiting for him to fall hammer pricing, take the baby away.
“There is no friend on this piece of jadeite raw stone bidding? We all know, the gods are hard to break an inch of jade, it is impossible to say that there is good jade in this stone, there are still friends who want to bid?”
The auctioneer’s profession made him tout this piece of jadeite raw stone that was also scrap in his eyes, only he didn’t know that as soon as this sentence was said, there were at least three people in the arena who couldn’t wait to strangle him.
This thing is the old Mr. Zheng gambling collapse, the auctioneer said, first of all, is to hit the old man’s ears, you are not pointing at the monk scolded the bald donkey, so the old man that eyes are blind, stayed for decades did not see inside the treasure?
Zheng Hua and Zheng old man angry, is also inevitable, in addition Zhuang Rui is also hate to go up to this guy a punch, which if there is again which is not open-minded price, they are not going to spend more money? And in case out of a rash, the price raised to more than two million, they are not going to watch the treasure was taken away by others?
Fortunately, what Zhuang Rui was afraid of didn’t happen, and that auctioneer seemed to have sensed the unkind eyes from Zheng Hua and the old gentleman, and didn’t wait for a few seconds after shouting out those words. He then pounded the auction gavel down heavily, and the heart that Zhuang Rui had been carrying was put back in his stomach.
“Not right ah! This called Zhuang Rui is doing jade business in the mainland, surely know how to decode the stone, he will not be able to see that this piece of waste is worthless, why still spend money to buy ah?”
Zheng Hua felt something wrong in his heart, analyzing the reason for Zhuang Rui’s behavior, and suddenly his mind lit up, “Could it be that he wants to take this piece of raw stone and go back to the mainland to show off? Spread the word about Grandpa’s gambling collapse back then?”
“It’s possible, if it wasn’t for the sake of claptrap, why would he spend this fifty thousand dollars?”
Zheng Hua thought he had found the reason, but just when he wanted to signal his friend to shout the price, the hammer was already struck down, and Zhuang Rui’s money was paid, which made Zheng Hua depressed, and prepared to find Zhuang Rui to negotiate later, to see if he could use a high price to take this piece of raw stone back from him again.
Next to the emcee Wang took out a beautifully crafted bag, the piece of about five or six pounds of emerald stone put in, and so Zhuang Rui signed the check, handed over to the hands of Zhuang Rui, of course, the mouth also said words of thanks to Mr. Zhuang for the contribution to charity and other words.
Zhuang Rui at this time is in the heart of the beautiful it, simply did not care about the side of Wang Xingxing in what he said, to the auctioneer after nodding, carrying the bag is ready to return to Qin Xuan Bing’s side, his heart this will be thinking, is the thing back to the mainland to unravel, or in Hong Kong unraveled out, handed over to the Qin family to beat the system, but this small problem can not affect the mood of his happy.
“That young man, please wait for a moment ……”
Zhuang Rui had already left this side of the table and was about to walk into that crowd he was in when a loud voice rang out.
“Commander Huang? You called out for me?”
The only person who was walking around in this hall seemed to be himself, right? Zhuang Rui looked back and saw that Commander Huang, who was sitting at Sir He’s table, was standing up and walking towards himself, Zhuang Rui was a bit puzzled in his mind, he didn’t recognize him!
