Chapter 332 Auction
"Such a big stone, just a little jade, it's outrageous, isn't it?
Ye Tian shook his head. He could sense that the jade in this ten-pound boulder was just the size of a fist. Ye Tian suddenly lost interest in the original stone.
After leaving this piece of raw stone, Ye Tian wandered around the field again. There were not many materials for the original stone trading this time, only dozens of yuan. After two or three hours, Ye Tian finished all of them.
The result only disappointed Ye Tian. Among the cut raw stones, about half of them are thin aura, and the other half is that the emerald inside is too small. As for the other third, they are all worthless stone eggs.
"Uncle, where have you been? I've been looking for it for a long time..."
When Ye Tian felt a little thirsty and went back to the door of the venue to find some water to drink, Liu Dingding appeared in front of him and followed Fan Shaoguo and Wenwen beside her.
Ye Tian looked at a few people strangely, picked up a bottle of mineral water provided free of charge from the table and said, "I'm looking at these raw stones. What's wrong?"
Liu Dingding pouted and said, "My grandfather just taught me a lesson and said he didn't follow you."
"Can I still lose it? What's the matter, brother?"
Ye Tian laughed when he heard the words. This person's generation is really wonderful. Although he is younger than Liu Dingding, he has a feeling of an elder in front of her.
Liu Dingding said, "The auction of the original stone is about to begin. Grandpa asked me to come to you to see it."
"All right, let's go."
Ye Tian nodded and followed Liu Dingding to the only building here. After entering, he found that Zuo Jiajun and others had already sat in it and waited.
"Ye Tian, how's it going? Do you have any good stones?"
Seeing Ye Tian coming in, Zuo Jiajun stood up and waved to him. Generally, Zuo Jiajun would only call Ye Tian his brother in private or in front of his friends.
However, Zuo Jiajun's intimacy with Ye Tian still made many people in the venue focus on Ye Tian.
You know... Although Zuo Jiajun is a person in the jade and jewelry industry, he rarely moves in this circle. It is only after the popularity of gambling stones in recent years that he came here occasionally. Although he is very polite to everyone... he has never greeted people so affectionately.
Ye Tian shook his head, went to the chair next to Zuo Jiajun and sat down. He whispered, "It's really separated by mountains, brother. The doorway of this gambling stone is so deep that I can't understand it at all."
Although Zuo Jiajun introduced him to python cracks and so on before, those original stones are basically the same in Ye Tian's eyes... He can't tell whether it's good or bad at all.
"Haha, I was the same in those years, Brother Ye, I will understand if I have the opportunity to play a few more times!"
Before Zuo Jiajun could answer, Wen Luanxiong, who was sitting next to him, laughed loudly. There was a sense of intimacy in his words, which made the people around him look at Ye Tian even more.
The identities of Wen Luanxiong and Zuo Jiajun are somewhat different. One is a contemporary master of Yixue... He is good at divination, and the other is a famous "sniper" in the Hong Kong stock market, but at the same time he expressed goodwill to Ye Tian... This makes many people speculate about Ye Tian's identity
Fortunately, the people gathered here are more identifiable on Hong Kong Island, but they will not talk about it. After waiting for about ten minutes, the transaction officially started.
"Dear colleagues in the jewelry industry, I'm glad that we can take this opportunity to get together here again. As we all know, Myanmar has not been very peaceful recently, which has led to a surge in the market of jade. I won't say more about this. Let's start the auction of all the stones!"
The speaker is a middle-aged man in his forties... He is the permanent director of the Hong Kong Jade Association. Like today's original stone fair, he organized it.
However, Hong Kong's raw stone transaction is different from Myanmar's jade market.
On the public market in Myanmar, in addition to the clear bid auction, there is also the form of dark bid... The dark bid is that the bidder writes the original stone number, then writes down his own bid amount, and finally calculates who pays the highest price, and the original stone belongs to whom.
Compared with clear-labeled auctions, dark-labeling requires more discernment and understanding of the jade market, and you can often invest your favorite wool at a very low price.
But when it comes to Hong Kong, the hidden labeling is omitted. The price of each piece of raw stone is clearly marked, and whoever has strong financial resources is the final winner.
This is also the reason why Zuo Jiajun was a little helpless that day. Although he has a good reputation in Hong Kong, his pocket is really worse than that of these people in the field.
"Good, the next auction is the original stone No. 001, and the bottom auction price is 15,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you are interested, you can bid!"
Those present are all colleagues in the jewelry industry. There is no need to say too many scenes, and the auction will begin soon.
The jade market in 1998 is just at a time of great popularity. It has not made hundreds of millions of large investments like later generations. The price of raw stone is relatively low, so the starting price is not very high.
"20,000 Hong Kong dollars."
"Five thousand Hong Kong dollars..."
"I pay 120,000 Hong Kong dollars..."
"120,000, OK, congratulations, Mr. Wang, this original stone belongs to you!"
The starting price is not high, which does not mean that the transaction price is very low. The good-performing all-gambling wool was soon raised to 120,000 yuan. If this material hadn't been the size of a fist, I'm afraid the price would have doubled several times.
Because the jadeite market is in the stage of being gradually recognized by consumers, jewelers treat the jadeite at this time more rationally and rationally.
After the inspection just now, everyone will have a psychological reserve price for the raw stone they focus on. After exceeding this price, most people will not raise the price, and there will be no fierce competition.
However, with the emergence of some better-performing raw stones, the price of the auction has gradually increased, just like the material number 587 that Zuo Jiajun just auctioned, which cost more than 6 million yuan.
At this price, many people still don't see the result of continued bidding for Zuo Jiajun's face, otherwise the material will definitely be sold for 8 million yuan.
"Brother, is this...................Is it worth it? No one knows if there is any emerald in it?
If it is a piece of jade worth more than six million yuan, Ye Tian won't say anything, but if these six million yuan is spent, it is likely to buy only a worthless stone, and Ye Tian feels a little worthless in his heart.
Zuo Jiajun smiled bitterly when he heard the words and said, "Did you think like this before? But the gambling stone is like this. If this material can rise... it may be worth 10 million or more. If there is nothing, it will be a gamble!"
After hearing Zuo Jiajun's words, Wen Luanxiong smiled and said, "Master Zuo... Your luck has always been very good. Last year's Jade King was solved by a master."
Every transaction or auction organized by the Hong Kong jewelry industry will be evaluated accordingly, which is also an opportunity for peers to show their strength.
And the transaction of jadeite raw stone has formed a precedent, that is, after the transaction every year, the most valuable jadeite will be selected and awarded the title of "Emerald King".
Last year, Zuo Jiajun was lucky... He spent 600,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy a piece of raw stone, which actually solved the high ice jade with a total value of more than 10 million yuan, and was awarded the title of "Emerald King" last year.
Although this title has no substantial benefits, it is still helpful to improve the popularity of your jewelry store.
The share of jadeite in the current jewelry market is not large. The reason why so many people come is that half of them come for the title of "Emerald King".
Listening to Wen Luanxiong mention last year's events, Zuo Jiajun looked angry and said, "Axiong... Are you comforting me or talking nonsense? You have robbed the best pieces of material. Do you want to beat the old man?
The total market value of Zuo Jiajun's jewelry stores is only 100 million Hong Kong dollars... And jade jewelry only accounts for about 10% of the total sales, so the funds that Zuo Jiajun can use this time is only 15 million.
In addition to this good material, Zuo Jiajun has also taken action several times just now. Although he bought some raw stones worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, he has spent a lot of money.
Gambling stones are often gambling on funds and financial resources. Wen Luanxiong is really rich. He has just made a series of shots and has pocketed more than a dozen of the best-performing raw stones.
Ye Tian roughly estimated that this buddy spent at least more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars... And I'm afraid he will have to buy some more to be willing.
"Ha ha, I can't catch fish if I cast a wide net. You have a target. How dare I compare with you!"
Although he knew that Zuo Jiajun was joking, Wen Luanxiong still accompanied a smiling face... In Hong Kong, no one dared to offend Master Zuo.
This is not to say that Zuo Jiajun's hexagrams are accurate. The main reason is that Zuo Jiajun's achievements in feng shui are also very deep, which really offended him. One day he secretly tampered with your ancestral grave, and his descendants will have bad luck.
When Zuo Jiajun's fame first rose more than 20 years ago, a famous feng shui master came to provoke him, saying that Zuo Jiajun had a false reputation and wanted to suppress Zuo Jiajun, the rising star.
At that time, Zuo Jiajun didn't say much, but a month later, the feng shui master died in a car accident. When his family set up a mourning hall in front of his house, he inadvertently caused a fire, and finally the family was ruined.
Because the feng shui master is also very famous in Hong Kong, the police have investigated the incident in depth afterwards. After frequent and careful investigations, it was concluded that car accidents and fires were completely caused by accidents.
At the beginning, no one connected this matter with Zuo Jiajun, but later it came from an old man guarding the tomb that Zuo Jiajun had been to the ancestral tomb of the Fengshui master family before January.
Although no one can prove that the old man's words are true or false, after the incident came out, Zuo Jiajun immediately became famous in Hong Kong and established his position as the first feng shui master on Hong Kong Island.
So not to mention Wen Luanxiong, even if Li Superman and other Hong Kong millionaires at the level of Chinese leaders, such as Sir Huo, saw Zuo Jiajun, they were also extremely polite and did not dare to neglect him at all.
Zuo Jiajun's auction today is over. He turned his head and smiled at Ye Tian, who was drowsy, "Why, brother, why don't you shoot two pieces of raw stones to play? Let me tell you, the solution is a very refreshing thing.
The raw stones auctioned today are not all high-priced, such as 30,000 to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. Although Zuo Jiajun doesn't know how much Ye Tian is worth, he can still get this money, right?
"I? Let's forget it. It's not so bad to have money?"
After hearing Zuo Jiajun's words, Ye Tian quickly shook his head. As the saying goes, he bet ten times and loses nine times. Ye Tian doesn't like to gamble. He likes to control the development of the situation in his own hands.
"Brother Ye, why don't I buy some yuan for you to play?" Wen Luanxiong said with a smile. His expression was very sincere, and he did not look rich. It was completely an inquiry between friends.
"Are you forcing me to gamble?" Ye Tian smiled bitterly when he heard the words. He didn't want to get Wen Luanxiong's feelings, so he could only say, "Okay, then I'll take a picture!"
It happens that the starting price of a piece of raw stone that is being auctioned on the stage is not high. As long as 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, the auctioneer shouted three times in a row and no one is willing to bid. It should be a piece of waste that others are not optimistic about. Ye Tian raised his hand and auctioned it down.
"The following is the last original stone in today's auction, which is also the largest and heaviest piece this time. Its bottom auction price is 3 million Hong Kong dollars. If you like it, please bid!"
More than half an hour later, the auction also came to an end, and the last original stone in the auctioneer's mouth was the one Ye Tian saw.
"I said, it's obviously a broken stone. Why is it still so expensive?"
"That's right, there is nothing in that section, and there can be no jade in it at all!"
As soon as the auctioneer's reserve price was quoted, the stage became noisy. Many people noticed the giant original stone, but when they heard that the starting price was so high, everyone was a little nervous.
"Gentlemen, please be quiet."
Seeing Tai Xiao's noise, the auctioneer explained, "This original stone was bought by others from Myanmar for seven million yuan. If it hadn't been solved, how could it have been a starting price of three million yuan? But this original stone is so big that maybe there will be jade in other places!"
The auctioneer's words made the yard quiet. The python pattern on the giant original stone was very upright, and it was cut down with one knife. It really did not mean that the original stone was scrapped.
"Four million Hong Kong dollars..."
"I pay five million..."
"7 million Hong Kong dollars"
Not to mention that there are many rich people in Hong Kong. Just now, they shouted that the bottom auction price of the original stone was too high, and now the price was raised. In a blink of an eye, it reached more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars. The original stone merchant was no longer losing money.
