Hearing the noises around him, Yang Qi came to his senses. It turned out that it was not that the jade was not valuable, but that it was too valuable, which scared everyone, so they were unable to offer a price at the first time.
Qingzhou doesn't even have a dedicated raw material market, there are only a few raw material shops in the antique street, and with only a few shops, the probability of finding good jade is naturally low. Top-quality jade like emerald is hard to find even in those raw material markets, and it is even harder to see it a few times a year in Qingzhou Antique Street.
"Emerald, it's actually emerald!" The woman in sky blue short-sleeved shirt was also stunned, a little bit unbelievable. Ice jade is considered mid-to-high-end jade, and emerald is definitely high-end jade.
If before, she only suspected that Yang Qi was a master of gambling stones, then at this moment, she could be completely sure that Yang Qi was a real master of gambling stones. The four gambling stones all increased in value, and among them, there was even an emerald, a high-end jadeite, which was definitely not something that could be explained by luck!
"I want this emerald, and I, Shen Yuxuan, want it too!" The woman looked at the stone-cutting platform, and after just one glance at the emerald, her eyes fell on Yang Qi.
Shen Yuxuan is the head of Shen's Jewelry. Shen's Jewelry is facing a huge crisis. High-end jade is extremely scarce. For Shen's Jewelry, which is famous throughout Qingchuan Province, the lack of high-end jade is undoubtedly a huge disaster. An emerald can certainly alleviate the crisis of Shen's Jewelry, but it is a drop in the bucket. In comparison, a gambling stone expert who can unlock an emerald, even if he is not as good as a gambling stone master, his value is far beyond the measurement of an emerald.
Yang Qi didn't know yet that not only the jadeite in his hand was being targeted, but he himself was also being targeted, and the target was a very beautiful woman.
"Two million."
"You want to buy this emerald for two million?" A disdainful voice came, and the slightly fat middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Let me start with you, two million and six hundred thousand!"
hiss~
Yang Qi took a deep breath. You know, this emerald is smaller than half a cigarette box. Although he guessed the price would not be low from everyone's shock, the starting price now is 2.6 million, which is almost catching up with the total price of the three jadeite he had uncovered before!
"Three million!" A cold voice came, and it was Shen Yuxuan who spoke.
"Three million and five hundred thousand."
"Three million, one hundred thousand."
Compared with Shen Yuxuan's domineering bid, others were obviously much more cautious when the price exceeded three million.
"Three and a half million!" Shen Yuxuan bid again.
"You can be willful if you have money!" Yang Qi glanced in the direction of Shen Yuxuan, feeling deeply moved. The offer of five hundred thousand was indeed very domineering.
Following Shen Yuxuan's bid, many people around smiled bitterly. They were all in the jade business, so they naturally knew Shen Yuxuan and also knew the current situation of Shen's Jewelry. They were extremely short of high-end jadeite. Three and a half million yuan was enough to buy an emerald, and apart from the artificial shops, there was very little money to be made. It was difficult to compete with Shen Yuxuan!
"Three million six hundred thousand!"
After a moment, a voice was heard from the crowd, and then a man in a suit came forward.
Seeing the person coming, Shen Yuxuan couldn't help but frown and her face turned ugly.
"People from Liu Jewelry are here too? This is going to be lively."
"I heard that Liu's Jewelry took advantage of Shen Hongyi's serious illness to poach Shen's Jewelry's stone gambling master, and then suppressed Shen's Jewelry, leading to the current predicament of Shen's Jewelry."
"If Shen wants to get this emerald, I'm afraid it will cost a price."
People who practice martial arts have sharper facial features than normal. Although there was a lot of noise all around, Yang Qi could still hear clearly and knew that the company of the beautiful lady in blue and the man in suit were competitors.
Yang Qi was not interested in knowing about the feud between the two companies. On the contrary, he was happy to see that the value of the emerald could be maximized only if the two competing companies bid against each other.
"Three million, seven hundred thousand!" This time, Shen Yuxuan did not directly bid five hundred thousand. After all, even Shen's Jewelry would not do a business that would lose money.
"Three million, seven hundred and fifty thousand!" The man in the suit bid again without hesitation, but this time, the price increase was not much, just fifty thousand higher.
"Three million, eight hundred thousand!" Shen Yuxuan's face looked extremely ugly. At this price, there was almost no profit to be made.
"Three million, eight hundred and fifty thousand." The man in the suit spoke again.
Although he could hardly make any money from the price of 3.85 million, compared to the emerald falling into the hands of Shen’s Jewelry, the company would not blame him even if he did not make any money!
Shen Yuxuan did not bid again. Seeing this, the man in the suit couldn't help but reveal a smug look on his face.
"Four million!" After a moment, Shen Yuxuan made another bid.
Wow~
The price of four million caused an uproar among the onlookers. At this price, even if Shen's Jewelry bought it, let alone making money, it would be good enough if it didn't have to pay for the store's labor costs.
Four million
At this time, Yang Qi was very happy. With two companies bidding against each other, he would be the one who got the bargain in the end. If the two companies hadn't competed for this emerald, it would probably be worth at most 3.6 or 3.7 million. But now, the price has soared to 4 million!
When the price of four million was announced, the man in the suit couldn't help but hesitate. If he bought the emerald for four million, he would almost certainly lose money. He was not Shen Yuxuan. He was just a senior employee of Liu's Jewelry. If he took the emerald without losing money, the company would not only not blame him, but also praise him. But if he lost money to take the emerald, what would be the consequences
"If you, Liu, can offer a higher price, you can take this emerald." Shen Yuxuan said calmly.
The man in the suit was not sure whether Shen Yuxuan's words were true or not, but he didn't dare to gamble. He couldn't afford the consequences of losing!
"Since your Shen Jewelry is willing to pay money to take this emerald, why should I compete with you?" The man in the suit snorted and stopped bidding.
Hearing this, Shen Yuxuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although an emerald is just a drop in the bucket, it is better than nothing. Although there is no money to be made from buying it, this kind of high-end jade can't be sold in a day or two. Having such an emerald can at least alleviate the current crisis of Shen's Jewelry.
"Congratulations, brother. You have made seven million in a short time." The middle-aged man looked at Yang Qi and said with a smile.
"Congratulations." Yang Qi suppressed his excitement and said with a smile.
"Congratulations, congratulations." The middle-aged man nodded. With Yang Qi's four consecutive price increases, many people have entered the store to choose gambling stones. It is a complete contrast to the previous situation when there were few customers.
"I have asked someone to send the contract over. Why don't we go to a nearby hotel and wait for a while?" Shen Yuxuan also stepped forward and said.
Yang Qi nodded, exchanged phone numbers with the middle-aged man, and left the wool shop with Shen Yuxuan.
"Brother Yang, I'm from Chen's Jewelry..."
"Brother Yang, I'm from Zhou Jewelry..."
Before the two of them left the store, several men came up and handed their business cards to Yang Qi, leaving Yang Qi bewildered. However, as the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person, so Yang Qi accepted all the business cards.
After finally getting out of the crowd, under the escort of Shen Yuxuan's two bodyguards, they headed to a hotel next to the Antique Street. (To be continued)
