After shopping for more than an hour, Tang Songyuan and Li Yangqiu basically looked at all the rough stones on display.
I have a certain basic understanding of the situation of this stone gambling appreciation meeting.
However, no one came forward to raise any points later. Tang Songyuan relied on his own clairvoyance to know the situation of the jade materials at the scene.
"Everyone, please look over here!"
At this time, a man in his thirties or forties with a red face walked to the center stage with a microphone.
It's probably either the host or the organizer's representative.
I saw him say:
"I, Fang Hongyi, first of all, let me serve as the organizer and welcome all friends who have come from afar!"
"Many old relatives and friends of Fang are here today, and of course there are also many new faces, but it doesn't matter. I am very happy to see that our industry can continue to inject new blood."
"Now after an hour and a half of observation, everyone has a general understanding of the rough stones we provide, so we will start to auction these rough jade stones according to the process!"
The organizer holds such a gambling stone appreciation meeting, and the purpose is naturally not to invite everyone to take a look and then leave.
Eventually I hope to be able to sell these stones.
The crowd gathered slightly around the stage. One of them, a middle-aged man with a big belly, coughed lightly and said loudly to Hong Yi with a smile on his face:
"The quality of Hong Yi's batch of stones is very good. I didn't expect the Fang family to produce so many good things quietly this time. I'm really impressed!"
Fang Hongyi was very satisfied with the effect and responded with a smile: "Uncle Han is joking. I hope that Uncle Han will give me more support in the future."
The man named Han smiled and nodded, but said no more.
Fang Hongyi's eyes swept across the audience and he said again:
"Before the auction begins, I want to guarantee two things to all guests!"
“First, our batch of jadeite rough stones are all carefully selected from major markets in Myanmar, so the quality is guaranteed!”
"Secondly, we have provided sufficient security for this auction, so everyone can show off their skills here..."
"In addition, we have also prepared vehicles and hotels for our guests. Guests who need a rest can just ask."
"Finally, I wish everyone a happy night tonight!"
While Fang Hongyi was speaking, Tang Songyuan, Li Yangqiu and Song Zhenguo also joined together.
"Cousin, I also want to participate in the auction!"
Li Yangqiu locked the target after Old Man Ni's reminder and planned to make a move.
Song Zhenguo frowned slightly and smiled casually and relievedly: "It's okay to have fun, you can decide this yourself."
Li Yangqiu nodded, and then took Tang Songyuan over to pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan and receive a number plate. This was a necessary step to participate in the auction.
Tang Songyuan also followed suit, paying a deposit and receiving the same number plate.
Li Yangqiu was startled for a moment, then turned to look into his eyes and said in surprise: "You want to play too?"
Tang Songyuan's eyes were serious as he said, "Yes, I've been pretty lucky recently. I plan to give it a try. Don't worry, I'm sensible!"
"It's not a question of good luck!"
Li Yangqiu persuaded him with some eagerness: "This is a thing where novices will be fooled 100% of the time. I know a little bit about it, so what you say is..."
Tang Songyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Didn't you just say that seven points depend on skill and three points depend on luck?"
"I've told you that I'm sensible, so don't worry. If you don't agree, I'll go to another number plate myself!"
Li Yangqiu said quickly: "Forget it, forget it, I'm really afraid of you!"
"Why didn't I realize you were so good at gambling before?"
Tang Songyuan laughed and said: "What you said is wrong. There is a saying that gambling on stones is not gambling. Don't be nagging and hurry over. The auction is about to start!"
The place was crowded and the staff started to get busy.
Some are starting to place stools, while others are using flatbed carts to collect the raw stones originally placed on the ground and push them to the backstage.
After more than ten minutes, the venue was cleared, the stools were placed, the guests took their seats one by one, and the auction that everyone was looking forward to was about to begin.
Tang Songyuan and Li Yangqiu also sat next to Song Zhenguo.
He also looked specifically and saw that Old Man Ni was sitting in the first row in front.
The first rough stone was released. Fang Hongyi gave a brief introduction and then began to signal everyone to bid.
"The base price is 200,000 yuan, and each increase must not be less than 10,000 yuan. Please bid!"
It was a piece of rough stone produced at Hui Ka Field, weighing more than thirty kilograms. Its surface was densely covered with pine flowers, and there was a slight feeling of sandiness on the shell.
There are many people who are interested in this stone. As Fang Hongyi finished speaking, someone quickly followed suit and offered 210,000 yuan.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
Soon, the next bidder directly added 40,000 yuan, intending to disrupt the rhythm of other people's bidding.
"Three hundred thousand!"
The bidder this time was Ni Dehong. He was obviously not intimidated by the man just now.
The price was rising steadily. Tang Songyuan just watched silently. He had seen this stone with his perspective.
There is indeed a moist jade core inside the very thin shell, but the transparency is not very high. According to industry experts, it should be because there is not enough water for planting.
In terms of color, there are only a few green flowers. Such a rough stone will definitely not be able to catch his eye.
After a round of bidding, the first rough jade stone to be auctioned was soon bought by a man in his forties for 580,000 yuan.
The man had a round head and a rather conspicuous appearance. After successfully taking the photo, he did not forget to stand up, cupped his hands in front of everyone and laughed and said, "I'll give in!"
Some people sneered at this, while others were dismissive. Fang Hongyi took the opportunity to say:
"Congratulations to President Yu Peng for winning this piece of Huika jade material. We have prepared professional cutting machinery and President Yu can go and cut it at any time."
Yu Peng chuckled and sat down again, saying: "No hurry, no hurry, I'll wait!"
The auction continues.
Everyone has a clear goal. After observing for more than an hour before, they also have a clear personal understanding of the jadeite rough stone provided by Fang Hong Yi.
Therefore, the quotation is very fast, and if it exceeds my own judgment of the bottom line, I will not follow it.
In more than half an hour, more than 20 pieces of jadeite wool were taken out like a quick glance.
The piece that Li Yangqiu had chosen had a base price of 80,000 yuan, but he also successfully bought it for 110,000 yuan.
With a hint of joy, Li Yangqiu said in a low voice: "This is all my property. If they raise the price, I won't dare to follow you anymore!"
Tang Songyuan gave him a thumbs up and replied: "Six!"
At this moment, there was a commotion from the rear of the venue.
Tang Songyuan turned around and saw a long-haired beauty carrying an exquisite small bag slowly walking toward the crowd after being checked by security.
Her posture is elegant and her steps are unhurried, just like a wealthy lady from a movie.
Behind him were a man and a woman. The woman was wearing business attire and carrying a briefcase. She was probably a secretary assistant or something like that.
The man was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he was tall and strong. He looked like he was a personal bodyguard.
As the beautiful woman walked away, she said to Fang Hongyi on the podium: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, the company has something to do and I can't leave at the moment. Don't mind if you are so late!"
"It's Qiu Yingxue, the leader of the new generation of the Qiu family!"
Someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed.
"I heard that we are now doing short video live broadcasts to sell goods, and the sales in one night are as high as hundreds of millions!"
Someone else said: "The Qiu family has been very strong recently. Not only does it produce jade, but I heard they also intend to show off their skills in several high-end fields such as jewelry and antiques."
"Hey, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach!"
While everyone was talking, Qiu Yingxue had already reached the front, and Fang Hongyi said with a smile on his face:
"It is a great honor for me to have Miss Qiu here. Please take a seat!"
After saying that, someone arranged an extra seat for her in the first row.
Qiu Yingxue slowly sat down, and soon someone in the crowd stood up and passed over, handing a piece of paper into her hand.
Qiu Yingxue smiled slightly, whispered something to the man, and put away the paper without leaving a trace.
