Yang Qi himself did not expect that the fake raw material issue would actually receive support from Elder Yun and the Jade King. Originally just a very ordinary post, it became the focus of countless people in an instant. The final result was also far beyond everyone's expectations.
"There's no need to worry now. With the Jade King and Old Yun stepping in on this matter, I believe other people have already received the news and will be more careful." Shen Yuxuan glanced at the post and said with a smile.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. He had been worried before that the post would not attract the attention of jade merchants because it had no signature and no master-level figure came forward. However, the result now was far beyond his expectations.
"No matter what, we have done what we should do. The rest depends on them to judge for themselves." Huangshi said lightly.
The Myanmar public auction only takes place once a year. It is obvious that the jade merchants will not give up easily. Even if they know there are fake raw materials, they will continue to participate in the Myanmar public auction. Just like the fake jade incident that year, many master-level jade gambling experts believe in their own abilities. But because of their overconfidence, they eventually lost everything.
"Actually, what I'm most worried about are the two pieces of semi-raw materials that can compete for the highest bid." Shen Yuxuan suddenly said.
She remembered that Yang Qi had said that Liu Xiangnan's goal was to let their Shen's Jewelry buy the highest bid. Could the highest bid be fake
The winning bidder is not an ordinary gambling stone, it is worth tens of millions. If it is a fake rough material, it is worthless. Not only will it directly lose tens of millions, but it will also become a laughing stock in the jade industry. Just like Liu's Jewelry did at the Guangdong East Exhibition, it actually failed to win the bid and lost face. If the winning bidder this time is a fake rough material, the consequences...
Although the loss of tens of millions is painful, Shen's can still bear it. But now Shen is facing suppression from Liu's Jewelry. Once the winning bidder fails, it will be troublesome.
"It's not impossible." Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"How about we give up the bid?" Huangshi said.
"We can't give up on being the top bidder. Xiao Yang, since you can tell the difference between real and fake raw materials, the top bidder will depend on you." Shen Yuxuan said seriously.
If no one could tell the winner, Shen Yuxuan would indeed give up the bid as the risk was too great. However, since Yang Qi could occasionally tell the real and fake raw materials, he only needed to tell that the winner's two and a half pieces of raw materials were not fake.
"I'll try my best." Yang Qi nodded.
Huang Shi, who was standing by, saw this and opened his mouth but said nothing.
He didn't know whether Xue Qingyan would tamper with the two semi-bet rough stones that were competing for the top bid, but he was very clear that after so many years, Xue Qingyan's gambling stone skills were definitely not comparable to those of the past. You have to know that he was close to being the king of jadeite back then, and after so many years, his counterfeiting skills must have become even more powerful.
After so many years, Xue Qingyan will definitely not be so easy to deal with again.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Liu from Liu Jewelry is here." At this moment, Xu Jiajia came to the room and spoke.
"Liu Yang?" Shen Yuxuan was stunned when she heard that.
Liu's Jewelry is a big jade merchant in the imperial capital, and its strength is far greater than Shen's Jewelry. Shen's Jewelry and the other party have no intersection, let alone any friendship. Why did Liu Yang suddenly come to see her
Although she didn't know why Liu Yang came, she knew that he was a guest, and the other party was one of the best jade jewelers in the whole of China, so Shen Yuxuan naturally didn't dare to neglect him. She quickly asked Xu Jiajia to invite Liu Yang and his group in.
Soon, under the leadership of Xu Jiajia, Liu Yang, Xie Guangyao and others came to the room.
"Boy, we meet again." When Xie Guangyao saw Yang Qi, he recognized him at a glance.
"It's you." Looking at the person who came, Yang Qi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the person who came with Liu Yang was the fat man who bought the fake wool material.
"Yang Qi, do you know each other?" Shen Yuxuan was also stunned when she saw this scene. She knew that Yang Qi had never been to the imperial capital. It stood to reason that it was impossible for him to have any intersection with a person of Liu Yang's level.
"We just met this morning." Yang Qi said.
"What do you mean we just met? You are such a dishonest boy. You clearly saw that I bought fake raw materials, but you didn't even remind me. I lost six hundred thousand." Xie Guangyao said angrily.
Yang Qi was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to remind you, but you've already paid."
The jade business has many similarities with antiques. Once the transaction is completed between the two parties, there is no such thing as returns, even if the item is fake.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Yang, at such an old age, could actually tell fake wool materials. He is truly a young and promising man." Mr. Wei on the side said with emotion.
He had followed Master Yun to learn how to gamble on stones for many years, but when it came to fake rough stones, he was not as good as Yang Qi. At least he had seen the rough stone that Xie Guangyao had bought with his own eyes. Even when Xie Guangyao reminded Yang Qi that he was not optimistic about this rough stone, he still did not notice anything wrong with the rough stone.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Wei." Yang Qi said modestly. Although Mr. Wei became famous later than Huang Shi, his skills in gambling on gemstones were no less than Mr. Huang's. Otherwise, he would not have become the gambling on gemstone consultant of Liu's Jewelry.
"Mr. Shen, actually the reason we came here this time, besides getting to know Mr. Yang, we also want to borrow Mr. Yang from you." Liu Yang said.
Borrow Yang Qi
Shen Yuxuan was stunned and immediately understood the other party's plan. In this Myanmar public auction, unless the Jade King was asked to take action, even with the help of Old Yun, it would be difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the raw materials through video images.
However, the Jade King had not intervened in the jade industry for many years, so it was too difficult for him to make a move. Yang Qi could distinguish between real and fake rough materials, so he naturally became Liu Yang's first choice. However, Yang Qi had long been the gambling stone consultant of Shen's Jewelry, so it was not so easy to get Yang Qi to make a move.
"No problem." Shen Yuxuan said.
Of course, she knew how important Yang Qi was to Shen’s Jewelry, but she also knew the status of Liu’s Jewelry in the jade industry. If she could use this opportunity to establish a relationship with Liu’s Jewelry, it would be of great benefit to Shen’s Jewelry.
"Thank you." Liu Yang nodded slightly.
Although he was sure that Shen Yuxuan could lend Yang Qi out before he came, he was not completely sure without Shen Yuxuan's personal consent.
"But I hope Mr. Liu can keep Yang Qi's ability to distinguish real and fake raw materials a secret." Shen Yuxuan suddenly said.
Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He had heard from Old Wei that the person who made the fake jade was notorious in the jade industry. Although Yang Qi was also a master of gambling on jade, he had no foundation. Once the news spread, he would definitely be retaliated by the other party!
Liu Yang immediately started chatting with Shen Yuxuan. This time, he accepted Shen Yuxuan's favor. Liu Yang was not a stingy person. Although it was inconvenient for him to help Shen Yuxuan directly, he also gave Shen Yuxuan a lot of help. For the entire Shen family, it was a good thing. Liu's family was mainly in the imperial capital, and there was no conflict between them and Shen's family. (To be continued)
