Holding the jadeite, Zhao Yixin looked at it for a long time before she came to her senses. Girls all like shiny things, and it was indeed not fake, even a carefree girl like Zhao Yixin was no exception.
"Is this jade valuable?" Zhao Yixin suddenly asked.
"It's not too valuable, but it's not a small amount either. If you want to sell it, it's best to ask Mr. Shen." Yang Qi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Yixin immediately looked at Shen Yuxuan beside her. Although Yang Qi said it was not worth much, she still wanted to know how much it was worth. If it was one or two thousand, she would keep it, but if it was ten or twenty thousand, she would sell it.
"If Sister Yi Xin is willing to sell it, I'll give you 350,000 yuan." Shen Yuxuan said.
The price of 350,000 is slightly higher than the market price. According to Yang Qi's estimation, this piece of jade is worth just over 300,000 at most. However, Shen Yuxuan knew Zhao Yixin and obviously didn't want Zhao Yixin to suffer a loss, so she directly gave the highest price.
"Three... three... three hundred and fifty thousand?" Zhao Yixin widened her eyes upon hearing this, and looked at the jadeite in her hand in disbelief.
Three hundred and fifty thousand, how much is that
Even though her job as a flight attendant means she earns a high income, in reality, she only makes a little over 10,000 yuan a month traveling between two provinces. After deducting some necessary expenses, she is lucky if she can save around 6,000 yuan a month. 350,000 yuan is equal to her savings for five years!
Five years!
Being a flight attendant is a job that only lasts for a young age, and at most it can only last for 10 to 20 years. Five years is equivalent to one-third to one-fourth of her career!
"Sell, sell, sell!" Zhao Yixin said without hesitation. She was not a rich person, and she was not at ease keeping more than 300,000 yuan on herself. The best thing to do was to sell it and get the money.
Shen Yuxuan didn't find it strange when she heard that. After talking with Zhao Yixin, she already knew that Zhao Yixin's family was not poor. Three hundred and fifty thousand was already a huge sum of money for her, so naturally she couldn't keep it for herself.
While holding the jadeite, Shen Yuxuan looked at Yang Qi deeply. She remembered that Yang Qi had said before that she might buy another piece of jadeite. She was a little skeptical at that time, but now it seems that what Yang Qi said was not a lie.
"Master of gambling on stones!" At this moment, even Shen Yuxuan felt a little bit of recognition of Yang Qi's identity as a master of gambling on stones. The only difference between Yang Qi and those masters of gambling on stones of the older generation was probably just some experience in gambling on stones.
Zhao Yixin was delighted to earn 350,000 yuan in one go.
"I'll treat you tonight." Zhao Yixin looked generous.
"Then we won't be polite." Yang Qi said with a smile.
"You'd better be polite." Zhao Yixin said with a little pain when she thought about the lunch consumption.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Yang Qi, but also Shen Yuxuan laughed.
In the afternoon, Yang Qi picked a few gambling stones in Maoliao Street, but none of these gambling stones were solved on the spot. The next day, Zhao Yixin played for half a day and left in the afternoon because the flight from Qingzhou had arrived and she had to take a flight back to Qingzhou in the evening.
In a blink of an eye, the exhibition has reached its third day, and there is only one day left before bidding. The gambling stone consultants of major jewelry companies are now estimating the gambling stones at the exhibition to facilitate bidding on the third day.
Bidding is divided into open bidding and blind bidding, which is also modeled after the Burmese public auction. However, the difference from the Burmese public auction is that the blind bidding is on the fourth day and announced on the sixth day, while the open bidding is 100 yuan per day, starting from the fourth day. The blind bid is 300 yuan, the open bid is 300 yuan, and the total gambling stone in the whole exhibition is 330 yuan.
As the No. 88 gambling stone with the best appearance in this exhibition, it is also the gambling stone with the most intense secret bidding this time.
"Xiao Yang, why is number 88 not among the gambling stones you selected?" Shen Yuxuan was stunned when she saw the gambling stone bidding list handed over by Yang Qi.
The quality of the No. 88 gambling stone is so good that many jewelry companies are planning to buy it. Shen Yuxuan is no exception. With such a good quality gambling stone, even if all of it is ice type, they will make a profit. Even if it is glutinous type, they will not lose money.
This kind of gambling on stones is naturally a hot topic of competition.
"To be honest, I don't think the No. 88 gambling stone is a good idea." Yang Qi thought for a while before speaking.
Shen Yuxuan was startled and asked quickly, "Why is this happening? What did you see?"
“That’s not the case.” Yang Qi shook his head. His own gambling stone skills were just that of a novice. Naturally, it was impossible for him to explain from the perspective of gambling stones why he was not optimistic about this gambling stone.
"This is my intuition." Yang Qi said, "As the saying goes, everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme. This gambling stone gives me this feeling. The quality is too good, flawless, and it seems to have reached the extreme. I am afraid it may not be solved once it is solved."
"This..." Shen Yuxuan smiled bitterly. If Yang Qi said something from the perspective of gambling on stones, she could still agree with it, but it was just an intuition, which made her a little undecided for a moment.
After all, Yang Qi's gambling stone skills are not low. The intuition of such a master is often extremely terrifying, and Shen Yuxuan cannot ignore it.
"In that case, forget it. Anyway, there will probably be a lot of jewelers competing for this gambling stone. Not to mention whether Shen can finally get it. Even if we do, the price will probably be high. Shen can't afford to lose now." Shen Yuxuan pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
Hearing this, Yang Qi felt relieved. He was really afraid that Shen Yuxuan would not listen to the advice and bid for No. 88. If she won, then tens of millions would be wasted, which would be a big blow to the Shen family today.
There were thirty pieces of blindly marked gambling stones, but Yang Qi only marked six. Three of them were glutinous type and three were icy type, all of which were worth millions. However, the reserve price was not low either. Yang Qi focused on selecting four pieces. The reserve price of these four pieces was not high, but the jadeite inside was very valuable. After all, as a gambling stone consultant, the more the bet goes up, the higher the dividends he will get.
In addition to the blind bid, there is the open bid. The open bid is much simpler. You bid directly. Whoever bids the highest will get the stone. This is similar to an auction. The only difference is that the open bid has a time limit. Every five stones are in one round, and the bidding time is three minutes. When the time is up, the person with the highest bid will get the stone.
Yang Qi discussed with Shen Yuxuan again and simply determined the direction of the bidding for the fourth day. It was impossible to bid on all the hundreds of gambling stones, and they all had their priorities.
On the fourth day of the blind bidding, the shops on Maoliao Street were much quieter. The people coming and going were assistant bodyguards carrying bids. The blind bidding was not limited to one time, but each bid must be higher than the previous one, and the highest price was finally taken. This bidding method not only tests the gambling stone consultant's judgment on the gambling stone's value, but also tests his judgment on competitors.
The No. 88 gambling stone was indeed the best quality semi-gambling rough material, so it was naturally the most popular item for competition. According to the news Zhou Hai brought back, almost all the big jewelers had made bids for the No. 88 gambling stone. This naturally included the Liu family, but the Shen family was not among them.
"Liu family? I really hope they are the ones who win the No. 88 gambling stone in the end." Yang Qi thought to himself, but he also knew that this possibility was not high, after all, there were too many jewelers bidding. (To be continued)
