As the auctioneer's words fell, the audience burst into applause. They were all shocked by the ingenuity of Tifan International. They ingeniously preserved all the collections at the bottom of the deep sea, and also filmed the process of collecting treasures into a program similar to tomb robbing or adventure. It is really amazing. Eye-opener

Lu Han also understood. It turned out that he hid the collection under the sea. No wonder Zhang Min was so confident.

At this time, Zhang Min turned his head and smiled slyly: "I came up with this idea. How about it?"

"Yeah, it's very good." Lu Han admired sincerely and said to himself that this crazy woman really has her wits about her. Such a novel treasure-hunting process is undoubtedly a good start for the entire auction.

After admiring, the focus of everyone’s attention fell on the stone in the center of the booth.

Emerald, also known as the King of Emeralds, is a very precious gemstone. It is recognized as one of the precious gemstones in the international jewelry industry. Because of its unique green color, unique charm, and magical legends, it is deeply favored by Westerners. Recently, it has become more and more popular among Chinese people. love

The stone on the stand is half the size of a fist and can be considered a rough stone. Although emerald has not yet been developed, the faint green from the edges exudes a ghostly light. It is very dazzling and is definitely the best emerald luster.

"This rough stone was provided by a Brazilian jeweler. It is 8.6 cm high and 5.4 cm wide. The known net emerald content is 1.6 grams. A professional appraiser has been found to confirm that the color is gorgeous and bright. It is the best emerald gemstone."

The auctioneer slowly introduced, and the high-tech camera captured the rough stone in all directions, with no blind spots, and the large LED display behind it showed a bright light.

It can be said that this emerald attracted the attention of many people as soon as it appeared on the scene.

No one at the scene dared to estimate how many grams of emerald this rough stone contained. The auctioneer couldn't, the audience couldn't, and even the experts couldn't. But just because such a tiny bit was exposed, the value of the entire stone was increased by an unknown number of levels.

If you buy it home and smash it open, you will find that it is full of stone powder with only a little bit of emerald. Then you have lost money and lost all your money. But on the other hand, if you buy it home and smash it open, you will see that there are green flowers inside. All green emeralds, then you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life

Therefore, the auction of this rough stone relies on eyesight on the one hand, and luck on the other hand.

"The starting price is US$30,000." The auctioneer slowly said the starting price.

After a brief silence, someone from behind raised a sign: "Forty Thousand"

"50,000"

"Seventy thousand"

Many people still believe in their own eyesight. They believe that this piece of rough stone must be a treasure. At least it is definitely worth the price. But some people don't even raise their eyes and are not interested, so the field becomes a competition between a few people.

"One hundred thousand." Suddenly, a thick voice slowly shouted out the price from behind. Everyone's hearts jumped at the same time. They turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged man about forty years old or above. Judging from his appearance, he should be European. At the moment of price, his face was full of pride

Lu Han felt that it was not worth buying this piece of broken stone for US$100,000. But this is an auction. This is where the huge profits come from the rough stone. Take this rough stone as an example. The Brazilian jeweler may not be sure how many emeralds are in it. But he chose not to develop it but to auction it here just to take a gamble. Maybe it’s because he’s not confident in himself. Maybe he’s short-sighted. But if everything goes down and nothing happens, then it’s better to come here to auction and make some small money.

To put it bluntly, this is just like gambling.

The transaction was successful and the certificate was presented together with the rough stone. The middle-aged man took it with joy. He couldn't wait to take out the small hammer given by the auction house and hit it hard.

He raised the hammer and was immediately dumbfounded.

Except for a little bit of emerald-green gemstones, the rough stones were all made of brown-gray granite. This made his proud expression disappear in an instant, and his old face became elongated and turned black with anger.

Most of the people were gloating about their misfortune, but those who followed the bidding just now felt lucky. Fortunately, they did not take the bid. Otherwise, the one hundred thousand would have been wasted.

Look at the man again. Although he was angry, he still had the grace to do it. He wrapped the gravel on the ground in a bag and stopped saying a word.

All in all, the first transaction was a complete success

Lu Han curled his lips and looked back. After all, those who can get on this cruise ship are not ordinary people. His net worth must be several million. It is not unusual to spend hundreds of thousands to buy a stone.

At this time, he whispered into Zhang Min's ear: "How much is your handling fee?"

"Ten percent"

Lu Han was shocked. Damn, there are so many.

At other auctions, 3% is considered too much. But here we can actually receive one-tenth of the transaction amount. It’s a bit too much, right?

Just imagine the transaction volume of 100,000 US dollars just now. That means the auction house made a full 10,000 US dollars.

The sun is really dark

As if seeing the surprise in Lu Han's eyes, Zhang Min chuckled: "What do you know? We are holding an auction on this ship. The rent for one day is only two million US dollars. If we don't charge more handling fees, how can we make money?"

Although this is reasonable, Lu Han always feels that it is still unfair. He thought that the Brazilian businessman had made enough. Unexpectedly, the most profitable thing was the auction. One person made ten thousand dollars. If there were more, two million US dollars could be earned in one afternoon. Come

In the following time, everyone enjoyed the thrilling treasure hunt and the magical blue ocean while enjoying the fun of the auction. In addition to the rough emeralds at the beginning, jewelers from various countries also brought many tourmalines, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. Wait for Pu Shi. Some people are happy and some are disappointed. It’s a mixed blessing. Most of the transaction amounts of these orders are around hundreds of thousands. Calculating it this way, in just one hour, the auction house has done 30 transactions and earned a full half a million US dollars.

While lamenting the huge profits from the rough stone business, Lu Han kept observing Tang Gaoqiang and Shen Ling above. After such a long time, the two of them had not even raised a card. For example, Shen Ling only focused on chatting with beautiful women, as if he had no interest in these rough stones. As if there is no interest

All the rough stones have been auctioned, the jade section is not over yet, and the finished product is about to begin.

Diamonds, emeralds, gems and gold are all available from all over the world. They are all fished out from the seabed and kept at a cold temperature. They are like treasures that have just been found. They are being auctioned piece by piece. As the stages progress, everyone's enthusiasm for bidding is ignited and they raise their placards. The old guy who was dismissive just now couldn't hold it anymore and started to shout out the price. The price of the rough stone started at more than 100,000 yuan and went up to more than 200,000 yuan. In short, the price went higher and higher, and people became more and more excited.
