The gambling stone auction ended successfully. Probably because Wen Xinya opened a top-quality jade, the atmosphere in the venue was still quite hot. The topic that everyone discussed almost all revolved around the top-quality violet jade, and they were less looking forward to the subsequent serious auction.
In everyone's opinion, this piece of top-grade violet jade is already the most eye-catching and best item in today's auction, and the treasures that will be auctioned next are left over.
Si Yiyan drank his tea, watching the situation calmly, and said calmly: "I guess Wei San is regretting it so much that his intestines are turning green now."
In any auction, the auctioneers hope that the items will be sold at high prices so that they can make huge profits.
Therefore, there are many illegal auctions that use some banned stimulant items to stimulate the nerves of the auctioneers in order to achieve their own goals.
However, Laiyi Pavilion is, after all, a large family with an ancient heritage, and naturally disdains to use such despicable means, so they arranged a gambling stone auction before the auction.
Country Z prohibits gambling, but does not prohibit gambling on stones.
The powerful and wealthy in the upper class are all very fond of gambling on stones. Once the word gambling is involved, it is easy to be affected by emotions and lose their sense of proportion. Gambling on stones before an auction is to stimulate everyone's emotions to spend money lavishly.
This method is legitimate and legal, and it also caters to the people's interests. Why not do it
Wen Xinya asked curiously, "What do you mean? Although the piece of jade I bought for 150 million yuan produced a top-grade violet jade, the difference between the transaction price and the value of the item itself is too big. However, let's not talk about how much Lai Yi Pavilion made when it took over the jade and resold it at the auction. Just to say, gambling on jade is inherently high-risk. Since Lai Yi Pavilion has eaten this bowl of rice, it will not have other ideas!"
She didn't know how much money Lai Yi Pavilion spent on this piece of spring material, but it would definitely not be more than one million, because the reserve price for the auction of this piece of spring material was one million.
A piece of spring material worth no more than one million yuan was sold at an auction for 150 million yuan, and Lai Yi Pavilion made a fortune.
Si Yiyan shook his head: "It's not because of this."
Wen Xinya became more and more curious, and guessed that this top-level auction party might have some other inside stories that she didn't know.
Si Yiyan explained calmly: "The gambling stone auction before the auction is to stimulate the atmosphere and bidding of the real auction, but you are lucky, and you got the top-quality jadeite that has not been sold in the gambling stone industry for many years."
"Even if the items to be auctioned next are few and far between, it is estimated that they will be worth more than this piece of top-grade violet jade. Therefore, everyone's attention will be shifted to this piece of top-grade violet jade, and people will be less interested in the next auction. Therefore, the next auction will probably not go smoothly, and the transaction price of the auctioned items will be at least 20% to 30% lower."
The value of top-quality jade far exceeds that of many antiques such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The only ones that can compete with the top-quality jade are the endangered precious woods.
Wei San probably never imagined that among the appetizers before the auction, there would be a real delicacy, which would instantly overshadow the carefully arranged delicacies.
As soon as Si Yiyan said that, Wen Xinya guessed the connection between the two. She finally understood the good intentions behind Lai Yi Pavilion's careful arrangement of the gambling stone auction. She couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that Wei San has done so many immoral things that even God can't stand it?"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the gloom she felt after being inexplicably plotted against by Wei San was instantly swept away.
Wei San used her as an example to plot against Si Yiyan.
Unexpectedly, before she could get any benefits from Si Yiyan, she suffered a considerable loss because of her good luck in getting top-quality violet jade, which disrupted the auction.
Most importantly, he also promised that no matter what she liked, she could buy it and it would be considered a gift to her.
This is going to make you lose your pants!
Seeing her happy face, Si Yiyan's gloom was gone, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Wei San has now lost both his wife and his army."
The auction of the Seven Surnames and Ten Families is the highest level of auction held by the Wei family. Thirty percent of the profits of all the auction houses under the Wei family come from the auction of the Seven Surnames and Ten Families. You can imagine how much the Wei family will lose in today's auction.
This is what is called, "Deliberate planning may not be rewarded, but unintentional planting may result in a beautiful tree."
Xinya's strange luck really makes people speechless.
Wen Xinya raised her eyebrows and said, "It's his fault. He used my name to plot against you as soon as we met. I have to make him know that if you keep hunting geese, you will end up getting pecked by them."
Although she could guess that the Wei family would suffer heavy losses in today's auction, she did not sympathize with Wei San at all.
Si Yiyan was in a good mood after hearing her words: "It will let him know that my woman is not so easy to calculate."
The cold voice was chilling, as if a chill instantly blew into his bones, chilling Wei San, who was standing at the door with his hand raised to knock, paused in his movement, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.
The steward who was standing beside him, holding a mahogany lacquer tray with his brows lowered, could not help but look up and secretly glanced at his master's face, then hurriedly lowered his head to hide the fear on his face.
Si Yiyan's eyebrows were cold as he played with the Rujiao cup in his hand. There was an inaudible smile at the corner of his lips, with a hint of deep playfulness.
The next second, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
He was not at all surprised at Wei San's arrival. It was obvious that he had known that he was outside the private room.
Wen Xinya showed a rare smile, her voice slightly sweet: "Brother Wei, I'm busy with business, why did you come here in person?"
She deliberately emphasized these three words: Wei San Ge.
Although he was well-maintained, his age could definitely be that of Si Yiyan's father, and his smile was bright and brilliant.
Taking advantage of others' misfortunes has always been her favorite.
Si Yiyan's brows furrowed, and he was obviously displeased with Xinya's words "Brother Wei San". There was a hint of hostility in his eyes as he looked at Wei San.
Wei San's heart trembled when he was called the sweet Third Brother Wei. The smile he had finally squeezed out was choked on his lips. He carefully glanced at Master Si Jiu with the corner of his eyes, and then said with embarrassment: "Brother... Sister-in-law, you are too polite. Master Jiu is here... I... I don't deserve to be called Wei... Wei..." Third Brother! Before he could utter the last two words, he felt the gaze falling on him become colder. He quickly swallowed the words in his throat and changed his words again and again: "I don't deserve to be called sister-in-law."
Don't bully and make things difficult for Jiu Ye in front of him like this!
Oh! He was wronged.
Master Jiu, are you really not going to take care of your little wife
Is it really okay to indulge him like this and then take your anger out on him
