As for the Liu family in the imperial capital, even Yang Qi had heard of them. They were the top jade jewellery dealer in the country and had great influence in the imperial capital, much stronger than Shen's Jewelry.
"It's not easy to get the highest bid from these opponents." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
Almost none of these opponents are weaker than Shen’s Jewelry; some are even stronger than Shen’s Jewelry. Even Liu’s Jewelry is not easy to deal with, let alone these jewelers.
"I know this too, but they don't need the title of the highest bidder right now. What they value more is the benefits. So although they will participate in the competition for the highest bidder, they will definitely not do so at any cost. In the end, I'm afraid the only ones competing will be us and the Liu family." Shen Yuxuan pondered.
Hearing this, Yang Qi nodded slightly. This was indeed true. In fact, the reputation brought by the bid winner was often more valuable than the bid winner itself.
Anyone who knows a little about the jade industry knows this, so although several other companies will compete for the bid, there are definitely not many who will go all out and spare no expense.
This is Shen’s Jewelry’s opportunity!
The two talked a lot about the raw materials recorded in the data, but after all, the real public auction has not started yet, so the two just simply talked about the next direction. Because now Shen's Jewelry only has Yang Qi, the gambling stone master who can be trusted, Shen Yuxuan also told Yang Qi a lot of secrets. Even including the amount of cash used by Shen's Jewelry this time.
…
A high-end hotel in Songpha Town.
"Senior Brother, Shen Yuxuan and the others have arrived." Liu Xiangnan looked at the man in front of him and said respectfully.
Hearing this, the thin man nodded slightly, opened his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"That Yang Qi is here too?" the man said indifferently.
"Yes." Liu Xiangnan nodded.
It was because of Yang Qi that he brought ten bodyguards this time, more than twice as many as Shen Yuxuan's. Each bodyguard was equipped with a full range of hot weapons.
"This Yang Qi, no killer in the organization is his match. You should try not to provoke him, unless the master takes action personally. Even I am not his match. With his skills, even if you have bodyguards and hot weapons, you will still be in danger." The man said in a deep voice.
"I understand." Liu Xiangnan nodded.
If he didn't know how powerful Yang Qi was, given his personality, how could he just give up
"I'm glad you understand. This time, we must not make any mistakes regarding our master's business." The man glanced at Liu Xiangnan and then spoke.
If it weren't for the purpose of completing the task assigned to him by his master, he would not have appeared in person at the Myanmar Public Auction. This time, the Myanmar Public Auction seemed to be an important way for him to collect wealth.
"Don't worry, everything is ready. The Jade King is in the country now, and nothing will go wrong in this public auction." Liu Xiangnan said with a smile.
"Don't underestimate others. None of these stone gambling masters who have been famous for many years are simple characters." The man said solemnly.
His master was just a leader in the organization. This time, it was a matter assigned by the organization, so naturally there could be no mistakes. If the organization had not given him an important task to deal with, Xue Qingyan would have appeared here in person.
"If I had known earlier, I should have learned Kung Fu from my master. Gambling on stones is completely useless." After seeing the man off, Liu Xiangnan couldn't help but mutter.
His master had three disciples. The eldest disciple was proficient in gambling on stones and kung fu, while the second brother was proficient in kung fu. He chose gambling on stones. Originally, in his opinion, no matter how powerful kung fu was, it was useless against hot weapons. But he didn't expect that this time, because of Yang Qi, he felt that if he had kung fu, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
But even if he regretted it, it was too late. According to his master's rules, beginners can choose to learn one of the two, and only after reaching the middle stage of dark energy or the master of gambling stones can they choose to learn the other. The eldest brother entered early, so he was able to learn two skills. Liu Xiangnan and the second brother each learned one skill from the master. If you want to learn the second skill, it will probably take three to five years.
"This time it was carefully planned by the master. If I can do it properly, maybe the master will be so happy that I can learn martial arts from him." A gleam of light flashed in Liu Xiangnan's eyes.
For this Myanmar public auction, Liu Xiangnan prepared a lot of means to ensure the success of his master's plan.
"Shen Yuxuan, no matter how smart you are, and no matter you have Yang Qi's help, you will never know that among the two and a half pieces of gambling rough materials, only one is the real gambling stone!" Liu Xiangnan smiled slightly.
…
The next morning, Yang Qi and others left the hotel. There were obviously more people in the whole Songpa Town.
Buyers selecting rough stones can be seen everywhere. After separating from Shen Yuxuan and the others, Yang Qi went directly to the rough stone shops around and started selecting stones for gambling.
Relying on the sensing of the vital energy of heaven and earth, Yang Qi could roughly judge the size and type of jade contained in the rough material. Except for some particularly large rough materials, which he was not very sure about, all the smaller rough materials were collected by Yang Qi.
At first, Zhou Hai was Yang Qi's bodyguard. After one or two hours, Zhou Hai had become a driver pushing a cart. In this short one or two hours, Yang Qi bought as many as 10 to 20 gambling stones. With such a fast selection speed, it takes less than ten minutes to get a rough stone. Even the most skilled gambling stone master cannot judge the quality of a rough stone in such a short time. Moreover, Yang Qi bought almost all gambling stones!
"Yang Qi, aren't these so many gambling stones a bit too much?" Zhou Hai asked hesitantly.
Although these raw materials are not expensive, dozens of them added up to about 300,000 or 500,000 yuan. You should know that Zhou Hai only made less than 200,000 yuan yesterday. What Yang Qi spent this morning was more than what he earned from gambling on stones yesterday.
"It's okay. It's not expensive anyway. Just treat it as practice." Yang Qi couldn't help but smile when he heard that.
These gambling stones were carefully selected by him. Each of them contained jadeite of the glutinous grade or above. These jadeites were not only the pseudo-yuan crystals he needed for long-term cultivation in the future, but also the main raw materials for the store he and Shen Yuxuan would cooperate in the future. No matter how much of this kind of thing he had, he would never think it was too much.
"Okay then." Zhou Hai said with a wry smile.
Anyway, this is Yang Qi's money. Although he is a little worried, Yang Qi has made the decision and he can't say anything.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise coming from the shop in front, where dozens of people were surrounding a gambling stone.
"Did someone bet on a rise in prices?" Upon seeing this, Yang Qi and Zhou Hai quickly walked over.
"Two hundred thousand."
"Three hundred thousand."
"Four hundred thousand."
At this moment, a round of bidding was heard from the crowd. Through the crowd, Yang Qi also saw that it was not someone cutting the stone, but there was a piece of semi-rough stone of excellent quality on the stall, and everyone was bidding. (To be continued)
