Chapter 105: Clearly marked
Mo Boqi came over, patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about what they say. After someone becomes strong, someone will naturally come to curry favor with him."
Zhang Xiao nodded and asked with a smile: "Sir, after the auction in the afternoon, if you want to cut stones, can you do it?"
"Of course. Why, do you want to cut the stones after the auction? My dad said it's best not to cut the stones on site." Mo Boqi asked with a solemn expression.
"The money I bring is too little. I think if the cut stone can increase in price, then I will sell it directly!" Zhang Xiao said with a somewhat firm expression.
"It's okay, but it's too high-profile and easy to be targeted!" Mo Boqi was worried, after all, Gu Tianxin was already targeting them.
"We have been targeted now, so I want to take a gamble. If I win, everything will be fine. If I lose, I will treat it as a trip." Zhang Xiao was furious at the moment, and he wanted to challenge.
"That's true, well, it's up to you." Mo Boqi couldn't help but sigh, he no longer had any confidence in this public auction.
Afterwards, the two of them had lunch in a nearby shady place, lying under the shade of a tree to rest, waiting for the shooting to start at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The bodyguards were also resting aside, but after all, it was daytime and they were near the public market, so there was no one who was short-sighted to cause trouble.
After resting for a while, Zhang Xiao and Mo Boqi went inside again. After all, they still had to take a look at the raw jade stones that were being auctioned today. After all, part of them were being auctioned today.
When it was almost three o'clock, Zhang Xiao went to get an auction sign, No. 18, the number was quite auspicious.
Mo Boqi did not follow, but continued to look at the jadeite.
The auction was held in an auditorium in the Jade Trading Center. It was a very large area and was divided into three areas. Each area could seat 300 people. However, the number of people participating in the auction was not large. There were only 300 or 400 people in total. It seemed that
Many people are not optimistic about these large jadeite rough stones.
Zhang Xiao has only one goal, and that is the jadeite rough stone numbered 1037, which contains almost 25,000 Yuan energy. This is extremely rare among the jadeite rough stones auctioned openly, and another jadeite rough stone numbered 4534 is auctioned.
It should be tomorrow.
Zhang Xiao found the seat number of No. 18 and looked at the auction machine next to it. It was a very advanced electronic instrument nowadays. The original number and auction price of the auction were entered here. This was also customized specifically for the auction house.
Yes, it is different from previous auctions and more efficient.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a middle-aged man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt walked to the podium and announced the start of the auction, and he was also the supervisor of the auction.
At this time, the big screen began to display all today's auction numbers. As Zhang Xiao expected, the numbers from 1 to 2500 were today's auction items, and each number had the latest auction price.
As the auction began, everyone was staring at the screen, and some began to enter numbers and prices for the auction.
The base price of jadeite rough stone No. 1037 is 20,000 US dollars, and each increase in price is no less than 1,000 US dollars. However, Zhang Xiao did not enter the price immediately. After all, the auction took a long time, a full two hours, so Zhang Xiao was not in a hurry.
I am constantly observing the increase in the price of jadeite rough, after all, this can also be a vague reference.
However, what Zhang Xiao didn't notice was that behind him, there was a person who stretched his head to observe his auction machine, seeming to be monitoring his bid.
Zhang Xiao looked at the constantly beating numbers on the big screen and had to sigh. There were so many people waving banknotes and rushing to buy. It was difficult not to make money.
In the past, mines relied on manual excavation. There were only so many raw jade stones every year, but it is different now. A large number of machines are put into use. It will not take long for a hill to be excavated and leveled. I don’t know how efficient it is.
How many times, even so, the price of jadeite raw materials has still risen. This is due to the domestic pursuit of jadeite in recent years.
Zhang Xiao looked at it for a while and had a rough estimate in his mind about the No. 1037 jadeite rough stone. He should be able to win it for about 300,000 US dollars, but he was not in a hurry to bid now. After all, the winning bid was at the highest price at the last moment. Zhang Xiao
Decide to wait until the last minute to bid based on the auction price.
In fact, not only Zhang Xiao is planning to do this, many people around him are preparing to bid at the last moment. Those who are bidding now are just testing the waters. Some jewelry merchants have even received several extra license plates, because
They have many bidding targets and have to be watched by multiple people.
Since Zhang Xiao had only one target in mind, he was a little bored for a while and couldn't help but look around. Soon he noticed something strange. A middle-aged man behind him kept staring at him, as if he was spying on him.
Zhang Xiao's heart moved slightly. He randomly found a target with a relatively fast price and added a thousand dollars. He wanted to see if the people behind him would follow. As long as he dared to follow, he would dare to add a thousand dollars to all the targets.
Dollar.
The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Xiao's betting target and directly raised the price without thinking. This was the order he received and he would never give Zhang Xiao a chance to succeed in the auction.
Zhang Xiao saw on the screen that the price of the number he had just increased increased by another ten thousand dollars. He sighed in his heart. Sure enough, it was targeting him. It seemed that Gu Tianxin had someone spying on him.
Zhang Xiao's heart was a little irritable. He didn't want to cause trouble. He could just be a handsome man quietly and make money, but he didn't need to shoot a gun. Who knew he had no chance to make money quietly.
"It was you who provoked me first." Zhang Xiao secretly felt cruel and began to operate the quotation machine in his hand crazily.
As long as it was an active target, Zhang Xiao began to increase the price, and the price increase for each target was US$10,000. With Zhang Xiao's operation, the quotes on the big screen suddenly changed crazily.
It didn't matter that Zhang Xiao deliberately disrupted the situation, but it made everyone in the hall unable to sit still.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The middle-aged man who was monitoring Zhang Xiao was also dumbfounded. He did not expect that Zhang Xiao would like so many targets. So what should he do, follow or not?
, this is a big problem.
The middle-aged man walked out quickly. He wanted to report the situation and let Gu Tianxin make a decision.
After the middle-aged man left, Zhang Xiao calmly added a thousand dollars to No. 1037, which no one had bet on, to test the waters.
However, there was chaos in the hall at this time. From time to time, someone picked up the phone and started to contact people. Obviously, these were the people sent by the various bosses to be responsible for the quotation.
Some people began to continuously calculate the next auction bid, and some people looked around, hoping to see the person who just made a random bid.
You know, no one’s money is printed by themselves. Although these people in the auction hall were waving their banknotes with all their strength and preparing to win a few rough jade stones, they were still relatively restrained, except for a few pieces that performed particularly well.
Except for the jadeite wool, there was basically no random bidding on the remaining wool. Now Zhang Xiao stepped in and quoted bid prices on dozens of pieces of wool, which immediately caused an uproar.
Zhang Xiao felt a little guilty. After all, this matter was not authentic. Once discovered, he would offend too many people and become a public enemy. However, Zhang Xiao was also worried that the people monitoring him would talk nonsense, and he felt very uneasy in his heart.
"Wow, a million dollars?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the auction hall. No matter how good the quality of the woolen materials is, it is all relative. It is still much worse than some woolen materials with hidden marks. It just seems that the woolen materials are larger in size and weight. 100
Ten thousand US dollars is more than eight million, which is considered a very high price according to the price tag.
Zhang Xiao looked at the serial number of the wool with a price tag of one million US dollars. That piece of wool was considered to be one of the first 2,500 rough stones that contained a lot of energy. However, Zhang Xiao did not have clairvoyant eyes and did not know what kind of jade it contained. But thinking about it,
You should be able to get your money back, but it might be a little difficult to make money.
"Damn, I pressed the wrong button!" A well-built old man cursed with a slight cry.
Suddenly everyone's eyes turned to him, and someone immediately smiled and said: "Boss Huang, you didn't say that on purpose, did you?"
In fact, someone does this kind of thing every time there is an auction, and it's a lot of fun, but there are all kinds of possibilities. However, after everyone's attention was attracted, Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. At least no one paid attention to it.
He did.
"If you increase the price, as long as it is higher than mine, I will never bid." Boss Huang yelled at him in a frantic manner. He indeed pressed the wrong price. He pressed an extra zero, and the price increased tenfold.
As soon as Boss Huang said this, no one was talking, everyone was ready to see his joke.
As time went by, the numbers on the big screen returned to stability, and no one bid randomly anymore. The number 1037 that Zhang Xiao was paying attention to had long been hit the bottom. After all, the quality of the stone was not very good.
.
Zhang Xiao was a little happy. After all, it would be great if he could get it for only a thousand dollars more.
"Five minutes left..."
Zhang Xiao looked at his watch and felt slightly nervous. At the same time, he filled in the price on the quote machine and waited for the last moment to send the price.
At this moment, the price of bid No. 1037 rose from the previous 21,000 to 30,000 US dollars. This made Zhang Xiao's heart twitch slightly. It seemed that someone had quoted the price, but he didn't know how much he valued this piece of wool.
degree.
Zhang Xiao sighed and decided to bet according to the expected price in his heart. After all, he had no time to think too much at this time.
Time passed by in a hurry, and the numbers on the big screen began to jump crazily. Zhang Xiao looked at the rising numbers of No. 1037 and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but fortunately the price didn't rise too fast.
When the staff reminded that there was one minute left in the auction, Zhang Xiao did not hesitate to place the price on the auction price of US$31,000.
