Chapter 0470 – Dark Bidding (XIV)
Zhuang Rui raised his wrist and looked at the table, the second hand has just gone through three o’clock, there are still the last two hours, the bidding stage of the Burma Jadeite public disk will end, and in the next week, will be used for all the opening of the bidding.
Do not be surprised, is a week’s bidding time, due to the number of dark bidding is too much, in order to achieve justice and fairness and openness, every day to open the bidding process is subject to special supervision, just want to fast can not be fast, after all, to those data statistics out into the computer, which requires a lot of human energy.
Each bid box opening, need to be supervised, and in the statistics as well as the winning price into the computer in this process, is the need for three people to repeatedly verify the confirmation, which also ensures that there will not be any problems.
The opening of the bidding for the Myanmar Jade Fair is one of the grandest events in Myanmar, and almost all of the state officials in the annexed city of Yangon will be temporarily transferred here to help, and during the bid opening time. The venue where the raw stones would be placed would be closed by the army for martial law.
“Peng Fei, you take a rest, I’ll go around again ……”
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei greeted, then walked into the dark bidding area, at this time in the dark bidding area walking back and forth, almost no longer, most people have their own look at this wool, at this moment are standing next to the wool, waiting for the dark bidding bidding deadline time to come.
See Zhuang Rui to their own, these people are nervous, they are afraid that Zhuang Rui will throw a bidding sheet to their side of the bidding box, until Zhuang Rui feet do not stop walking over, these people only breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, they also know that their behavior is redundant, other people want to cast a long time ago, if the price is higher than them, then they are also dry eyes, guarding here is also useless, these people are only seeking a little psychological comfort.
Along with the combination of dark label and open label, Zhuang Rui seemingly aimless wandering, sometimes also in a piece of raw stone next to stop and observe a bit, in the eyes of the onlookers, this is Zhuang Rui in the battlefield, do useless, as long as Zhuang Rui know, he is in the inspection of their own bidding for those bidding box.
“Boss Zhuang, still picking wool ah!”
“Oh, blindly turn around, maybe there are look into the eyes, and then throw in one or two pieces …….”
Along the way there are people and Zhuang Rui greetings, this dark bidding site is not small, but two or three thousand people crowded inside, is also spectacular, basically every few pieces of wool next to, there is a person standing, pretending to survey the wool around, in fact, we all understand, that is in the declaration of sovereignty, and the white lion full of corners of the yard to pee in the meaning of almost.
Only the dark bidding tender, not that you keep here, will certainly win the bid, maybe the first bidder, can laugh to the end, it still depends on each person’s financial strength and vigor and eyes.
“Hm? So many people?”
Even looked at twelve pieces of wool, Zhuang Rui’s heart slowly stabilized, those pieces of wool next to no one to pay attention to, his own prediction is good, previously inside the bidding list is just some buyers to take a chance on the inside to go, just when Zhuang Rui walked to the not far from that piece of yellow Fei, footsteps can not help but slow down.
In that piece of wool next to, five or six people seem to be a relaxed face in chatting the day, but that smile in the eyes of Zhuang Rui, but a bit of a smile, must also be in the secret fight, which has the day before yesterday and their own greetings to the boss Zhang.
“Boss Zhuang, is not fancy this piece of material ah?”
When Boss Zhang saw Zhuang Rui walking over, he hastily greeted him, but what showed in his eyes was a hint of panic.
“Oh, I’m just wandering around, this piece of material is good, I put in a bid yesterday, you watch first, I still have a few bids!”
Zhuang Rui also snorted at the man, his feet did not stop walking over, his eyes glanced at the bid box very covertly, fortunately, the bid sheet that Peng Fei had cast down, is now at the top, and the figures on the following several sheets, none of them exceeded 2 million euros.
“Xiao Rui, I saw you wandering around there by yourself from a long distance, the time is coming soon, don’t turn around.”
When Zhuang Rui walked to the entrance of the dark label from the gate, Qin Haoran greeted him. This foremost hundred or so pieces of raw stone, again the most competitive, although Qin Haoran listened to Zhuang Rui’s words and put money on those dozens of bids, he still didn’t give up on these best performing pieces of wool, and separately voted for the bids he had in mind.
“It’s okay, Uncle Qin, I’ve voted for everything, whether I can win or not depends on my luck!”
Zhuang Rui smiled, he now also sort of figured out, he can’t run back and forth between the more than 20 pieces of wool before the bidding deadline, right? That said, he walked on a circle have spent more than half an hour, simply can not prevent others in the last minute to increase the bidding.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui relaxed and chatted with Qin Haoran and Fang Yi, and as time passed, the hands on his watch were slowly moving towards 5pm.
“Uncle Qin, I’m going to look at my bid ……”
Five minutes from the end of the bidding, Zhuang Rui is also a little bit of indolence, other bids he does not care, but that piece of superb yellow Fei, Zhuang Rui absolutely can not let it fall into the hands of others.
“Mr. Zhuang, why are you back?” Seeing Zhuang Rui walk back to this piece of wool suspected to be red Fei, the face of the jeweler surnamed Zhang was very ugly.
“Boss Zhang. I’m also interested in this piece of material, why? Only you can vote, not let me vote ah?”
Zhuang Rui’s words let that Zhang boss secretly gritted his teeth, and took out a bid sheet from his pocket, that bid sheet should have long been filled out with the bid number, and now only need to fill out a number again.
“The bidding time of the current dark bid is up, please guests please don’t crowd and come out in order. Come out in order ……”
When the minute hand stopped at 12 and the hour hand stopped at five o’clock, a staff member’s voice rang out from the loud speaker inside the venue, but no one took it seriously because at this moment, there were a lot of people who were busy with their work.
Countless hands reached out to the bidding box beside them when the loudspeaker sounded, and the bidding slips that had been written long ago or had just been altered, were put into it, and the boss Zhang, who stood beside Zhuang Rui, was also quick in his eyes and hands, and put the last bidding slips into it, and his body intentionally or unintentionally was still blocking Zhuang Rui.
After Boss Zhang put in the bid sheet, he also took a long breath, looked at Zhuang Rui, and laughed: “Hey, Boss Zhuang, I’m just that last bid anyway, whether or not I can win the bid, it’s up to God.”
“Yeah! I voted yesterday, I just came over today to seek peace of mind ……”
Zhuang Rui smiled, in fact, in his pants pocket, is also put a filled in their own number of the bid sheet, did not take out the reason, because he saw, Zhang boss’s last bid is 3.15 million euros, than their own 3.18 million, just less than 30,000, so that Zhuang Rui heart relieved.
“Let’s go! Boss Zhuang, if we don’t leave, the pawns are going to come and kick them out later.”
Boss Zhang was afraid that Zhuang Rui would learn from him to throw in another bid at the last minute, so he affectionately took Zhuang Rui’s arm and walked towards the exit of the Jade Trading Center, only that he didn’t know that his own actions were right in the middle of Zhuang Rui’s mind. Zhuang Rui was still afraid that he would change his mind again!
“Hey, hey, Old Li, make way!”
“I say old Wu, now the bid can say it?”
“Go back to talk, go back to talk ……”
That called the old Wu do not eat this set of it, now tell you, more than ten seconds to fill out a bid sheet, I’m not looking for their own difficulties it?
In Zhuang Rui to the venue doorway to go, eyes to see, ears to hear, everywhere is this scene, a little bit like the moment before the bidding opening, only the numbers on the big screen, replaced with a pair of hands now reaching for the bidding box only.
Many people in this moment, even overturned their own in a few minutes before the offer, in just a few seconds time, and fill out the bid sheet into the bid box, compared to the flat continental gambling, this is the real crazy, because in this inadvertent change in the figures, often is millions of euros.
However, the Myanmar organizing committee left the crowd crazy time, not very long, just when the radio sounded, a team wearing camouflage uniforms, armed with firearms military, from the venue of the three entrances, respectively, rushed up to drive away every stay in the original stone area, that attitude, although not to say is not rough, but definitely not friendly.
Some people who still wanted to backtrack and modify their bids, driven by the soldiers, walked towards the exit in a clear and unwilling manner, that three steps forward, five steps back, very much like the old lady Zhao dancing the tango with that effeminate gentleman.
“Come on, for the end of this Myanmar public auction bidding, let’s have a toast ……”
Zhuang Rui walked outside, after using his cell phone to connect with Qin Haoran and others, he returned to the hotel, Qin Haoran specially booked a private room as a celebration, Song Jun and Fatty Ma, who had a good relationship with Zhuang Rui, also came to join in the fun, and there was another guest, but it was Hu Rong, the jadeite tycoon of Myanmar.
For Qin’s Jewelry, this trip to Burma, has got an unexpected harvest, that piece of red jadeite wool, enough to let Qin’s Jewelry in the jadeite jewelry, of course, now Qin Haoran, for Zhuang Rui gave him those raw stones, the heart is also full of expectations.
“Zhuang old brother’s ability to appreciate raw stones, Hu is not as good as ah! Some time ago, I was preparing to take over a new mine, old brother should help me go and take a look at it in a few days!”
After the crowd toasted and sat down, Hu Rong who sat next to Zhuang Rui, gave a thumbs up to Zhuang Rui, he was one of the appraisers of this Mingbiao wool, for that piece of red Fei wool, at that time, Hu Rong was not very optimistic, and didn’t expect to be bet up by Zhuang Rui.
