On the other side of the hall, several people who had just succeeded in bidding gathered together and happily discussed their next plans.
"Brother Wang, how many pieces of material did you invest this time?" a young man asked.
"I invested five yuan, all of which I was optimistic about before." A middle-aged man said proudly.
"You won the bid for five yuan? Brother Wang, you are so lucky!" the person next to him said enviously.
The middle-aged man smiled proudly and said, "I only won three yuan. The materials at this public sale meeting were really good and the price was right. I tried to scrape together the funds and invested a few more yuan."
"Brother Wang is courageous!" someone complimented.
The middle-aged man smiled, looked at the people around him, and said in a low voice: "But this bidding is not easy. I heard that the transaction rate is very high, reaching an unprecedented 80%..."
"so tall!"
someone asked in surprise.
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded and continued: "This Naypyidaw Open Market Conference has been a turnaround, and it can almost catch up with the level of the year before."
“If there is another bid worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the open auction in the afternoon, it means that the status of Nay Pyi Taw public auction is still unshakable..."
"That's true!" The man nodded in approval: "After all, Naypyidaw only relies on the emeralds from Pagan and the gems from Mogok..."
...
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The final bidding for the Naypyitaw public sale is about to begin.
Tang Songyuan and Zhou Tianlin came to the fair meeting again after lunch.
The two got their respective number plates at the registration office and sat in the bidding area quietly waiting for the auction to start.
"Mr. Tang seems to be in a good mood!"
At some point, Qiu Yingxue's figure lightly sat beside Tang Songyuan and said with a faint smile:
"I saw Mr. Tang harvesting more than ten pieces of top-quality materials this morning. It's really enviable."
"Mr. Qiu's gains are not small!" Tang Songyuan said with a smile: "It can be seen that Mr. Qiu is in a very calm mood now. He talks about envy on his lips, but in fact he has no troubles in his heart."
With just a simple scan, he could see that Qiu Yingxue's heart was beating regularly, very rhythmically, and very healthy.
Qiu Yingxue chuckled, shook her head slightly, and said, "Mr. Tang, you are wrong. I really envy you."
"Although we have been cooperating in business for more than half a year, we really have very little time to sit down and chat together like today."
"Maybe we today are our true selves..."
Tang Songyuan was slightly startled, not expecting Qiu Yingxue to say that.
He looked up at Qiu Yingxue and found that there was a rare sincerity in the other person's eyes.
At this moment, Tang Songyuan seemed to see Qiu Yingxue's heart.
He moved slightly in his heart and said, "Actually, I am the same. It is indeed a blessing to be able to cooperate with someone like Mr. Qiu."
"It's just that sometimes I wonder whether our cooperative relationship can be considered friends."
Qiu Yingxue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Tang Songyuan would ask this question so directly.
She was silent for a moment and said softly: "Friends? Maybe not."
"But I hope that one day I can become a true friend with Mr. Tang."
Qiu Yingxue looked at Tang Songyuan with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Tang Songyuan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "I hope so too."
"But our relationship is not close enough now, and we can't say many things directly." Qiu Yingxue sighed softly, turning her head to look at the auction that was about to begin.
The auction will begin soon.
There were more than 2,000 pieces of rough jadeite in the open and secret auctions of this public auction.
These rough stones are shipped from various mines, with different quality and planting water, and the prices also vary greatly.
But every rough stone represents a possibility, an opportunity to get rich overnight.
The slightly tanned auctioneer stood on the stage energetically, flipping the auction hammer back and forth in his hand.
He first said a few words in Burmese, and then said passionately in English:
"Dear distinguished guests, hello, welcome to the Naypyidaw public auction site! Today we will auction these precious jadeite rough stones, each of which may give you a generous return on your investment!"
"Now, let's get started!"
As the auctioneer lowered the auction hammer, the first rough jade stone was sent to the auction table.
This is a piece of green jadeite that has been cut open on all four sides, leaving only a thin shell on the remaining two sides.
Its quality and planting water are very good, attracting the attention of many people.
Tang Songyuan and Zhou Tianlin were also quietly observing, waiting for the right time to bid.
Qiu Yingxue also looked at it with a smile, seemingly calm, but she was also thinking secretly in her heart.
The atmosphere at the entire auction site was extremely tense. Everyone was staring at the auction table intently, fearing to miss any opportunity.
"The starting price is US$500,000, and each bid increase must not be less than US$10,000. Everyone, please bid..."
With the auctioneer's enthusiastic promotion and people's bidding, the atmosphere of the auction gradually heated up.
Although this piece of material was good, and all parties competed with it with great enthusiasm, its gambling value was very low, and Tang, Song and Yuan were not interested.
As the auction progressed, the second, third, fourth... jadeite rough stones were brought to the auction table one after another.
All kinds of top-quality jadeite materials with different shapes and bright colors are snapped up by many interested merchants who spend a lot of money.
There are almost no unsold ones...
These jadeite materials that can be auctioned must be the best among all the jadeite materials that will appear in the public sale in Naypyidaw.
The mine owner also has absolute confidence in these materials, so he sends the materials up for everyone to fight for as if they have obtained a treasure.
This piece of material comes from the Pagan mining area, numbered PG-152, the planting water is very good, reaching high ice and almost glass type, pure and cotton-free, the jade flesh is filled with green flowers like broken clouds, and the weight is also very suitable.
Tang Songyuan and Zhou Tianlin both believed that this piece of material was one of the most worthy of competition at the public sale meeting.
Qiu Yingxue also noticed this piece of material, and she secretly calculated the price in her heart.
The auctioneer's voice resounded throughout the hall: "Start bidding now for this rough jade stone from the Pagan mining area!"
"No. PG-152 has a base price of 1 million U.S. dollars, and each increase in price will be no less than 50,000 U.S. dollars!"
"Everyone, please bid..."
Hearing this price, Tang Songyuan couldn't help but frowned slightly. The price was higher than he expected, but he was determined to get it.
Qiu Yingxue was the first to hold up a sign and said: "1.2 million US dollars..."
