Afternoon.
An office on the second floor of Yunde Auction.
The piece of jade wool was carefully placed on the ground. At this time, Dong Xuebin had time to take a closer look. The wool was gray, with some black stripes on the surface, and a small corner on the edge showed a hint of faint green. , when I shined a light with a flashlight, it was very transparent and clear, just like a piece of cold ice. It was a serious type of ice. There were also traces of windows being cut by the cutting machine in other parts of the wool, but there was no green color at all.
"Open now?"
"The check is paid, let's write it."
"Mr. Qu, I borrowed the cutting machine."
Looking at this stone, everyone was a little nervous.
Dong Xuebin is no exception. After all, he has not seen it with his own eyes, and he is not 100% sure.
In the room, Qu Yunxuan held the armrest of Dong Xuebin's wheelchair, her white and tender palms grasping it tightly, as if her heart was in her throat. Xiao Taoer clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and raised her head, speaking plausibly, as if she was praying to the sky. Teacher Wei was sighing there, as if he was not optimistic about the material in front of him, and he had not yet taken the knife. It's almost as if it can't be erased.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Dong Xuebin said: "Teacher Wei, please open it."
Teacher Wei really couldn't bear to see the company destroyed in his own hands, and reminded him again: "Mr. Qu, it's still too late to regret it. If this piece of material is auctioned again, it should be able to sell for about 8 million, at least not It will cost you everything, but if you take a stab at it, it will be too late. You must think carefully about it. The auction house is developing well now, so there is no need to take this risk! "
Dong Xuebin knew that Teacher Wei was telling the truth, so he remained silent.
Qu Yunxuan said: "Let's go, I believe Xiaobin will not get it wrong." Teacher Wei said: "But how can you tell by just looking at gambling stones? A lot of it depends on luck!"
Qu Yunxuan smiled bitterly. "Mr. Wei, I know you are doing it for the good of our auction house, but in business, it is impossible to have smooth sailing all your life. When you encounter an opportunity, you have to take a gamble. If you can't open it, I will admit it. There is no way." No regrets, if a larger ice sculpture is really made, wouldn't it be even more powerful? With this money, "we will develop faster in the future, and we don't have to look at other people's faces." Teacher Wei knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he stopped saying, "Where to open first?"
Qu Yunxuan looked to the side, "..." Let Xiaobin decide. "
Dong Xuebin thought about it and said, "Let's start around the ice that opens the window."
"Okay." Now that he has decided to do it, Teacher Wei stopped whining. After thinking about it for a while, he lowered his head and picked up the cutting machine on the ground, inserted the latch, held it and walked to the edge of the raw material, and asked Xiao Taoer to cut it. The wool turned over and was fixed. Then Teacher Wei lowered his head to find the position. Finally, he chose a position a few centimeters to the left of the exposed jade. He pressed the cutting machine down and aimed it there to look at Qu Yunxuan.
Qu Yunxuan took a breath and nodded slightly. Teacher Wei flipped the switch and the cutting machine slowly turned on!
The harsh sound immediately echoed in the room, and the wool was worn away bit by bit, isolating the ice jade next to it. After dozens of seconds, this side is considered to have come to an end. There is no new green extending here, and the knife edge is full of gray impurities, which is a bad start. However, Teacher Wei had expected this to happen, and did not I was too concerned, so I calmed down, continued to change positions, and started to perform the operation.
Cow squeaks, squeaks!
The reason why I chose to cut around the emerald that had already been opened was to see how far this piece of ice could extend. "Jade is like other things, the bigger it is, the more valuable it is." If the whole stone is a piece Ice-type carvings are undoubtedly extremely expensive, but if the whole stone only has a small amount of jade that can be seen on the surface, even if it is a good ice-type jadeite, its value will not be too great, not even a million dollars. of.
One knife...
Five knives…
Ten swords…
When Teacher Wei turned off the cutting machine, the most depressing scene appeared!
Really afraid of what comes next, Dong Xuebin, Qu Yunxuan and others were shocked to find that there was nothing around the small piece of ice jade. The cutting edge of the cutting machine had already isolated the jade. Teacher Wei gently broke it with his hand. He held the piece of jade in his hand. Judging by the size, it looked a little bigger before it was cut. But in this case, let alone a bracelet, it could only be made into a pendant and a few small ones. The necklace or ring is too small. This piece of ice jade is probably worth only a few hundred thousand!
More than 10 million turned into hundreds of thousands in an instant
This huge gap is almost unacceptable! ! Teacher Wei sighed deeply, it's over, the company is finished now.
Xiao Taoer and Qu Yunxuan also turned pale. Only Dong Xuebin still held on to a glimmer of hope. He felt that this should not be the result. Aunt Xuan made it very clear on the phone at that time. How could this be the case? Dong Xuebin’s face didn’t look good either, “There’s still such a big piece of wool, let’s open it!”
Xiao Taoer deceived herself and said: "Yes, maybe the material behind will be good." Teacher Wei knew that this was impossible, but did not say anything, and continued to pick up the cutting machine and cut it down.
One knife...
Ten swords…
Twenty knives…
As the wool became smaller and smaller, everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier, and finally they hit rock bottom.
The wool has already reduced to less than one-third of its original size, but there is nothing but impurities in it! Teacher Wei looked at Qu Yunxuan,... Mr. Zhai.
Only she herself knows how much effort Yuunde Auction Company has put into Qu Yunxuan. Now seeing this scene, Qu Yunxuan's head suddenly felt a little dizzy. Is the wool material so ruined? Ten million is just gone? Will she and Xiaobin have to start over again? For a moment, Qu Yunxuan couldn't accept it.
Dong Xuebin said angrily: "Keep driving! I don't believe it!" Teacher Wei hesitated and finally sighed and touched the cutting machine again.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Time passed minute by minute, and Qu Yunxuan and Xiao Tao'er just stared at the one-thousandth of woolen material left on the ground. Dong Xuebin secretly clenched his fists, God, my ancestors, stop making trouble. Ah, that's almost it. Come on, give it to me quickly. This is all my belongings. If you leave me, I won't go bankrupt. How can I earn another 10 million to start a company
Squeak, squeak, Teacher Wei stabbed down steadily again.
As soon as the cutting machine passed by, the dust flew into the air, and it was all the scraps of wool.
"Hey!" Teacher Wei was suddenly stunned and blinked at the cut surface just now, "Something seems to have happened!"
The atmosphere is tense!
Dong Xuebin's eyes lit up, and a bunch of wheelchairs rushed up. Qu Yunxuan and Xiao Tao'er also came over one after another. Teacher Wei was squatting there and wiping the top with his hands. Xiao Tao'er quickly handed over a spotlight flashlight, and Teacher Wei took it. , lowered his head and took a photo on the stone, and immediately, a tiny touch of green was exposed in front of everyone. After taking photos repeatedly, Teacher Wei's face finally changed color!
Qu Yunxuan didn't quite understand this) and asked quickly, "What kind of green is this?"
Dong Xuebin couldn't see clearly from his angle and turned his attention to Teacher Wei.
Teacher Wei took a deep breath and said in shock: "It's a glass species! And it's very green!"
"Hahaha..." Dong Xuebin slapped the armrest of the wheelchair, "I'll just say it!"
Qu Yunxuan also said excitedly: "Is it really a glass species?" Glass species, that is the best thing among jadeite! Teacher Wei touched the cut surface strangely, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The ice-type side at the beginning is broken, and the chance of other wool materials being green is almost gone. And even if it is, it should be ice-type or below. Grade, how could there be a glass species? The chance is too small, um, but I can’t be too happy now. Maybe this piece of jade is also a cross-section, let me take it out to see? "
Qu Yunxuan said firmly: "It's come to this point! Let's go!" Dong Xuebin rubbed his hands and stared at the piece of jade wool again.
A few minutes later, Jade was finally recorded. Looking at this lush green piece of greenery, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. The most surprised one was Teacher Wei. He kept mumbling the words "how is it possible" from the beginning, holding it in his hands and looking at it? Looking at this piece of green, my mind was a little confused. Qu Yunxuan and Xiao Taoer were also fascinated by the green color, and they were surprised, happy, happy and surprised!
It's a piece of broken glass jade!
But it weighs a lot! Definitely enough material to make two pairs of bracelets! !
Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebin's face excitedly, "You little thing is really good! You are really a glass species!" Dong Xuebin said proudly: "That's right."
Xiao Taoer asked blankly: "How much is this piece of jade worth?" Teacher Wei is the most authoritative person here. After hearing this, he said: "I dare not say the market value of glass jade now, after all, it is rarely auctioned. You can see it, but not many people will sell it, but if you really count it, judging from the color and planting water of this piece of jade, one of the two pairs of bracelets should be slightly worse, and it can be sold for more than 10 million. The other pair is much greener, and the price of the hammered pair is estimated to be nearly 20 million. "
Xiao Taoer was shocked by this number, "Huh? Does that mean the total is 30 million?" Teacher Wei nodded affirmatively, "If it were the imperial green one, it would be more valuable, but it's a pity that it's a little bit different, but It’s a rare treat.”
Ten million yuan turned into thirty million yuan in the blink of an eye. It was simply impossible to make any more money!
The room was suddenly filled with joy. Qu Yunxuan immediately asked Xiao Tao'er to put the jade into the safe. For fear of being stolen, she would go to the processing factory tomorrow to quickly punch out two pairs of bracelets, waiting for the jade next month. This is the finale of the show. Happy, Qu Yunxuan also asked Xiao Taoer to call all the senior executives of Yunde Auction Company, and have a group dinner in the evening to celebrate at the Shangri-La Hotel.
At this point, Teacher Wei no longer dared to underestimate Dong Xuebin, and even took the time to ask, "Mr. Dong, how did you see this stone?" There are people outside the world, and facts speak louder than words. Dong Xuebin didn't do anything. After careful observation, I dared to conclude that glass would grow out of the wool, and it actually happened. This already explained the problem. Teacher Wei felt that he might have some methods and tricks that others didn't know, so of course he wanted to learn them.
However, Dong Xuebin didn't know what kind of gambling he was, and he mumbled a few words before he was fooled.
After dinner, Xi Yunxuan asked him, "Should the news be released?" Dong Xuebin laughed and said, "Of course it must be released. Firstly, it will create momentum, and secondly, it will make Feng Yi angry."
Qu Yunxuan nodded his nose in a funny way, and her gentleness was clearly visible. "You are the only one with great abilities!" She called Xiao Tao'er one by one and asked her to be responsible for announcing the news in the most conspicuous position on the homepage of the website. No need to post pictures or say too much, just write that there will be two pairs of glass jade bracelets for auction. Just one sentence is enough to cause a small shock.
Thirty million dollars worth of stuff! It’s hard to imagine whether Yunde Auction will become famous this time!
With both fame and fortune, Dong Xuebin felt that his hard work these days was indeed in vain!
Beijing Standing Committee Courtyard.
In a villa to the west, Feng Yi had just finished dinner at his uncle's house.
The company's development was booming, and the only one standing in the way, the Yunde Auction Company, was in danger. Feng Yi was in a very good mood. At this time, he was washing his hands with a few drops of hand sanitizer in the bathroom. The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Feng Yi wiped his hands slowly, took out his cell phone and listened, "What's the matter?" "
"Mr. Feng, hoo, something happened!"
"Tell me slowly, what happened?"
"Just a few minutes ago, a banner was posted on the homepage of the Yunde Auction Company's website, saying that two pairs of glass jade bracelets will be auctioned at the jade auction in a few days." This... If this is true, what will happen to us? The impact of the auction that day was too great. Even if we collected a lot of ice pendants, including an ice waxy ornament over one meter high, it still can’t be compared with the glass ones!”
Feng Yi's expression changed, "What happened? Bracelets? Where did they come from?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that it came from the piece of raw material I took the photo in the morning."
"What?" Feng Yi was suddenly stunned, "That piece of wool has glass seeds?"
"It should be, and this is the only way to explain it."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Yi's face turned green. That piece of wool was originally his must-have, but he gave up after seeing that the man named Dong Xuebin's bid was too harsh. But there was actually glass jade inside? Is it heavy enough to make two pairs of bracelets? How could this not make Feng Yi extremely regretful! As long as you bite the bullet and pay more! Then it’s obvious that he is the one who got it! Feng Yi's face became more and more gloomy!
Dong Xuebin
Qu Yunxuan
Feng Yi originally planned to use the company's strength to suppress Yunde Auction and force them to change their lives. Who would have thought that things would be unpredictable?" The other party actually put his side on the fire. Feng Yi's eyelids drooped. He didn't think of letting it go. , I have never suffered such a big loss after doing business for so long!
After walking out of the bathroom, Feng Yi was thinking about how to deal with them.
Let people from industry and commerce come and sit down
Let the tax people check it
Behind Feng Yi is Feng Xueliang, and he can use many means, not just commercial ones.
In the living room, Feng Xueliang, member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, was drinking tea outside. Seeing Feng Yi's bad expression, Feng Xueliang smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Weren't you still smiling just now? "
Feng Yi called his uncle and said, "Something happened in the company."
"Oh? Are you having business problems?"
"That's not true. Alas, there was an auction of jadeite wool this morning. I almost got it. Who would have thought that a man named Dong Xuebin would show up halfway and take the jadeite material away. In the end, I even got one. Excellent jade.”
Feng Xueliang felt that the name sounded familiar, "Dong Xuebin? What does he look like?"
Feng Yi was slightly taken aback, "It doesn't look like much. It looks quite ordinary. He has a popular face, and he didn't pay attention to his height. He has been sitting in a wheelchair and it seems that his leg is broken." Finally, he told his uncle what happened today in detail.
Feng Xueliang frowned, "Xiao Yi, don't touch this person."
Feng Yi's face was shocked, "Why? Do you know him?"
Feng Xueliang waved his hand, "Don't move if I tell you not to move."
Mother Yi stopped talking.
After a while, Feng Xueliang also saw his nephew's reluctance, and reminded him: "There is no deep hatred anyway. It is best not to mess with this kind of person. There are some things you don't know. The relationship between Dong Xuebin and Huilan is unusual." "Huilan is one of the top figures in the third generation of the Xie family. If she had not been a woman, she would have become the leader of the third generation of the Xie family. What a pity." Although Feng Xueliang is not in the same camp as Xie Guobang, he is not stingy at all. Kudos to Xie Huilan.
Feng Yi was shocked: "Xie Huilan?"
This name impressed him so much, "They have a close relationship? What's the relationship?"
Feng Xueliang looked at him and said with a smile: "Huilan had dinner with him alone, helped him transfer his job, and took him home. Now Huilan is devolved to the grassroots level, and he chose Yantai County where Xiaodong is. What do you think? What's the relationship between them?"
Feng Yi was stunned, "You can't, right? You said they, "..."
"I didn't say anything." In fact, Feng Xueliang didn't know very well.
Feng Yi was as shocked as anything. He just felt that this was so fucking unbelievable. Who is Xie Huilan? Feng Yi knows better than anyone else that no matter in terms of background, appearance or work ability, he is a first-class figure. She has a "close relationship" with that Dong Xuebin? This is unlikely, right? This is not a joke!
After leaving the Standing Committee Courtyard, Feng Yi drove home.
Ring ring ring, the phone rang, it was from the company.
"Mr. Feng, regarding the jadeite collection, why don't I contact Shanghai to see if..."
Feng Yi finally sighed, "Notify all departments that the Jade Special will be held half a month ahead of schedule."
The person on the other end was stunned for a moment, "Huh?" Isn't this a slap in the face
"Get it done right away!" Feng Yi reluctantly put down the phone.
Feng Yi absolutely does not believe in the relationship between Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan, but if he doesn't believe it, Feng Yi still doesn't want to offend such a person. Even if Feng Yi has never seen Xie Huilan's strong nature, he has heard about it. , he doesn’t have the strength to challenge Xie Huilan!
