Chapter 897: 100 Shots
The seven rough stones selected by Xia Ruofei first are okay, because they are relatively unpopular, so there are fewer bidders, and Xia Ruofei is constantly paying attention to the situation in these rough stone bidding boxes in the "wandering".
The big rough stone with the lowest starting price of 5 million is more popular, and there have always been people checking it carefully, especially when the bidding deadline is approaching, and from time to time someone will put the written list into it.
So Xia Ruofei's main energy is on this rough stone.
Yu Mingdong and He Ping were also nervously paying attention to the few targets they had selected at the moment, and a few of them had not yet made up their minds about what price they were going to make, so they naturally had no time to take care of Xia Ruofei.
Minutes and seconds passed.
When the live broadcast prompted that there were ten minutes left to close the bidding, Xia Ruofei began to act.
He quickened his pace, came to the first rough he had chosen, and after a snoop of his mental power, he quickly wrote down the price, tore off the first one, and threw it in.
Then Xia Ruofei didn't stop walking towards the other rough stone he had chosen.
After a while, Xia Ruofei cast all the seven rough stones in front of him.
If all these seven rough stones can be won as he wishes, Xia Ruofei needs to pay about 3.3 million.
In the end, Xia Ruofei returned to the front of the largest rough stone.
Of course, he has been paying attention to the seven rough stones in front of him, when someone passes in front of the rough stones, he will be a little nervous, but fortunately, these seven rough stones are really very unpopular, and no one has been bidding for the last few minutes.
And the big rough stone that Xia Ruofei was most concerned about, in the last few minutes, there were still people putting in new lists.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei's main attention is still focused on this side.
Fortunately, this bidding model is not an open auction, and everyone has their own judgment on the value of the rough and the bidding strategy of potential competitors, so although there are many people participating in the competition, the highest price will not be inflated.
Xia Ruofei stood next to this rough stone, his spiritual power was always shrouded in that bidding box, and he was clear about everyone's bids.
It is equivalent to others fighting wits and courage in this bidding mode, while Xia Ruofei is facing a completely open and transparent card.
With three minutes to go before the bidding deadline, the highest bid for the rough is currently $8.52 million.
Xia Ruofei did not hesitate, directly wrote a price of 8.6 million yuan, tore off the first couplet and folded it in half, walked over and stuffed it into the bidding box.
There is no provision that this bid can only be voted once, so Xia Ruofei first wrote a price to ensure that he can win the bid, and in case someone offers a higher price in the last three minutes, he will temporarily increase the price.
After Xia Ruofei finished casting, he stood near this rough stone and paid attention to the eight rough stones he had selected.
The seven rough stones were still unattended, and the largest one was still bidding in the last few minutes.
The performance of this rough stone may indeed be good, and there are really many people who are optimistic about it.
However, people in the industry have a rough judging standard, and this is still a piece of wool for all gambling, so everyone's bids are not too outrageous.
Until the deadline for bidding, no one offered a price higher than 8.6 million.
Hearing the radio in the venue, the staff began to come over to maintain order, and Xia Ruofei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If nothing else, all 8 rough stones have been taken!
The staff of the organizer began to clear the venue, and they needed to put all the bidding boxes together and count the bids under the supervision of a notary public.
Xia Ruofei quickly found Yu Mingdong and them, Yu Mingdong had a relaxed smile on his face, and he looked very confident.
"Mr. Xia, let's find a place to have dinner first!" Yu Mingdong said with a smile, "At half past seven in the evening, the bidding results will be announced one after another, and we will come back then!"
"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Yu's arrangement!" Xia Ruofei smiled.
In addition to the organizer's car, as well as special vehicles such as escort cars and ambulances, cars are not allowed to enter Emerald Street, so those bosses with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars also walked outside.
Xia Ruofei and his party chatted while walking.
Yu Mingdong smiled and asked, "Mr. Xia, how does this jade public plate feel?"
"It's the first time I've been here, and I can't say how I feel, but it's really big. Xia Ruofei said.
"That's one of the largest jade fairies in Yunnan Province, and the jewelry and jade merchants from all over the country have basically gathered together!" Yu Mingdong said with a smile, and then asked casually, "Did Mr. Xia invest a few pieces to play?"
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "I did join in the fun and placed a few orders to play......
Yu Mingdong asked with some interest, "Oh, how much did Mr. Xia invest?"
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "More than 20 million! I didn't count the specific number." ”
This is because he considered that the eight rough stones he spent about 12 million must be able to win the bid, so he overreported.
Otherwise, if he says that he has invested more than 12 million, and when the bid is opened, he will win the bid for each piece, and it will be a little unclear.
What Xia Ruofei didn't expect was that the number he reported startled Yu Mingdong.
"More than 20 million!" Yu Mingdong was speechless for a while.
You must know that he has invested less than 40 million in total today, after all, a small and medium-sized jade merchant like him must not be able to compare with Hengfeng Group.
The Ma family's Hengfeng Group has a stable supply channel, and their purchases are often hundreds of millions.
For Yu Mingdong, more than 40 million is already a big number, after all, this is with the nature of gambling, and if you are unlucky, more than 40 million may be lost.
It is unlikely that all the bets will fail, but it is normal for the funds to shrink ten or twenty times.
He didn't expect Xia Ruofei, a person who didn't know anything about gambling stones, just followed him to see the excitement, and he actually dared to invest more than 20 million.
Yu Mingdong was even a little worried at a certain moment, after all, the two bills used by Xia Ruofei for bidding were also registered in his name, in case Xia Ruofei really won the bid and couldn't pay the money, then he couldn't get back the deposit he paid.
But this is also Yu Mingdong's fleeting thought, as long as he thinks that even Ma Zhiming personally called Xia Ruofei in the middle of the night to help Xia Ruofei contact the purchase of jade materials, a trace of uneasiness in his heart will disappear.
Things gather like things, people gather by groups, how can someone who has such a close relationship with Mr. Pony on Hong Kong Island not even be able to pay 20 million?
What's more, even if Xia Ruofei really has no money to pay, causing his security deposit to be deducted, presumably Mr. Pony will definitely not ignore it.
However, Yu Mingdong still felt that Xia Ruofei was too bold.
He couldn't help but say: "Mr. Xia, the risk of gambling on stones is still very high, you don't know much about this industry, and you rashly invest so much ......"
He Ping on the side couldn't help but shake his head secretly, in his opinion, Xia Ruofei was a rich boy, and he didn't know anything about this business, but he dared to throw money like this, he was really ignorant and fearless.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, it's just a bid, I don't know if I can win or not!"
"That's ......," Yu Mingdong nodded and said.
He felt a little more at ease, because he knew that the price of the rough stone was difficult for even an expert to grasp, and the starting price was not necessarily a reference, and it was not surprising that the final winning bid price was several times the starting price.
After all, this is not an open bidding, Xia Ruofei invested more than 20 million orders to enter, and it is really hard to say how many he can win in the end.
If Xia Ruofei only bids based on the starting price, it is estimated that the probability of winning the bid will be very low.
However, Yu Mingdong still reminded him and said: "Mr. Xia, you should still be cautious in this situation in the future, in fact, you can ask He Lao and my opinion, gambling on stones, without rich experience accumulation, it is difficult to figure out the doorway......
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Yu for reminding me." ”
Yu Mingdong saw Xia Ruofei's indifferent appearance, and also guessed that Xia Ruofei was probably not bad at all, and he didn't take one or two hundred million in his eyes at all, so he didn't talk anymore.
Because the bidding results were to be announced at more than seven o'clock, the group did not go far after taking the car, and found a well-decorated restaurant nearby, ordered a few dishes, and hurriedly returned to the Jade Public Market site after eating.
In just two hours, the layout of the public market site has been completely renewed.
The area where the rough stones were originally placed was separated by a partition belt, and a long service desk was set up at the front end, and all the staff were in place.
The huge screen in the most prominent position of the scene is also turned on, and the bidding results will be announced on the big screen in a short time.
Because of the large number of rough stones in this transaction, the bidding results that have been opened at that time will be posted at the venue, and the organizer also provides several computers, and customers can also check the winning bid of a certain number of rough stones through the computers.
When Xia Ruofei and the others came to the public market, many people had already arrived in advance.
Everyone was anxiously waiting, and many people craned their necks to look at the big screen, which was still empty.
After a while, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"It's out! It's out!"
"It's out in numbered order! I have a rough stone with a high number, hurry up!"
"Guanyin Bodhisattva bless, you must let me get a few pieces! There is no rice in the factory......"
Xia Ruofei also looked up at the big screen, and sure enough, the latest bidding information began to appear on it.
The information is in the form of a table, and there are three very simple columns, which are the number of the rough stone, the winning price, and the number of the corresponding winning bid.
Yu Mingdong also looked at the big screen nervously, and took out his notebook from time to time to look at it.
The 8 rough stones selected by Xia Ruofei, two of which are numbered relatively high, are in the top 100, according to this speed, there may be bidding information on the next few screens.
However, Xia Ruofei was very sure in his heart, and he was not very anxious, but watched the reactions of the people around him with interest.
Although gambling on stones is a legal rough stone trade, these people who participate in the rough stone trade are really like gamblers at the moment, all of them are staring wide-eyed, stretching their necks, and staring intently at the big screen.
More appropriately, these people are more like those investors who pay attention to the market in the securities trading center when the Internet is not very popular.
"Hit a piece!
"Alas, I wrote 20,000 less, and no one else snatched it......"
"I've been looking at the No. 36 rough for more than an hour!
The people around him cheered or lamented from time to time, Xia Ruofei looked at Yu Mingdong next to him, and found that he was also too nervous, holding the small notebook tightly in his hand, staring at the big screen without blinking.
Soon, the winning results of Xia Ruofei's bid for the two smallest-numbered rough stones today also came out.
There is no suspense, Xia Ruofei bought it.
He had already memorized the number of the rough stone and the number of the bidding order, and he didn't need to look at the small book from time to time like Yu Mingdong and them.
Someone has already walked up to the service desk, showed the second copy of the bidding form, and started to swipe the card transaction.
In the area where the rough stones are placed, the staff also began to get busy, and they shuttled through it, picking up a piece of rough stone from time to time and returning it to the service desk.
Some small forklifts also travel through the rough stone storage area, forking the larger rough stones and driving them to the service desk.
Xia Ruofei was not in a hurry, he decided to wait for all his 8 rough stones to be opened, and then go to settle together.
The largest rough stone, numbered 1896, is also the most numbered of the eight roughs.
More than a thousand numbers will have to wait a long time before they can be opened.
At this time, Xia Ruofei found that Yu Mingdong beside him clenched his fist hard, and his face showed a hint of joy.
"Mr. Yu, have you bought it?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.
"Well, this rough stone He Lao is very optimistic, I am ten percent more than the normal estimate, and I finally won it successfully!" Yu Mingdong said happily, "There are two rough stones in front of me that have already been missed......
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Xia Ruofei said.
Yu Mingdong smiled and said, "I hope it will be a good result after it is opened......
Xia Ruofei asked casually: "Mr. Yu, which piece is it?"
Yu Mingdong said with a smile: "No. 633! This rough stone is not small! The appearance is also very good!"
Xia Ruofei remembered as soon as he heard it, he still had a little impression of the No. 633 rough stone, which was about the same size as the No. 1896 rough stone he finally selected.
At that time, the Lingtu scroll also reacted to the No. 633 Rough Stone, but it was much less responsive than the No. 1896 Rough Stone, and even reacted to the same degree as the washbasin-sized rough stone he had selected before.
The cost performance was too low, so Xia Ruofei quickly excluded No. 633.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but cast his eyes on the big screen, and at this time, the information on the screen just scrolled to the screen of the No. 633 rough stone, and he glanced at the winning bid price, 21.35 million!
Xia Ruofei's face couldn't help but twitch, he was so tall!
What he can be sure of is that the jadeite value contained in this rough stone is definitely not comparable to the No. 1896 rough stone that he is about to buy for 8.6 million, at best, it is about the same as another small rough stone he bought.
And for the basin-sized rough stone, Xia Ruofei only spent 350,000 yuan, which happened to be a fraction of the transaction price of the No. 633 rough stone.
Although he doesn't understand the jade market, Xia Ruofei's basic judgment is still there.
He glanced at Yu Mingdong, who was happy, and said in his heart: This guy may overturn today......
However, he is not easy to say about this kind of thing, and he doesn't know how to help Yu Mingdong recover his losses, so he can only silently wish him good luck.
Soon Xia Ruofei focused on the big screen again.
After a while, the bidding results of the rough stones selected by Xia Ruofei came out one after another.
No. 708, winning bid!
No. 836, winning the bid!
No. 992, winning bid!
......
After waiting for more than half an hour, the winning bid information of No. 1896 finally appeared.
Winning bid amount: 8.6 million Chinese coins!
Xia Ruofei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, spending less than 12 million funds, all 8 rough stones won the bid!
For Xia Ruofei, all the results have been revealed.
He took out a small stack of second bids from his pocket and walked to the service desk, which had already become lively.
Seeing this, Yu Mingdong, who was beside Xia Ruofei, hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xia, where are you going?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I'm lucky to buy a few yuan, I'm going to pay and get the goods!"
Yu Mingdong was stunned for a moment, feeling a little surprised, he quickly smiled and said: "Let's go together! I still have a few pieces that are numbered very backward, and I didn't open them so quickly!"
