The auction hall is very large, but not many people enter the venue, only about sixty in total.

After entering the hall, everyone found a seat and waited for the auction to begin.

On the huge rostrum in front, there were twenty gambling stones, some of which were very large and some were average in size. Because they could not go on stage yet, Zhang Yu was not sure about the specific situation.

After a while, a host came on stage and announced the rules of today's gambling stone auction.

This auction is auctioned in the form of a secret bid, which is also the old rule.

Mingbiao seems to be open and upright, but sometimes it is very scammed. At the earliest, Longmen Stone Market also played Mingbiao, but as a result, some good gambling stones were bought by big jewelers. They were of limited strength. Even if they liked any gambling stone, they could not buy them at all.

So in the later stage, those small and medium-sized jewellers stopped participating in the auction. Even though they knew they could not beat them, they would still be a fool.

Sometimes, there are even some jewelers who obviously don’t like it, but there are small jewelers who compete, so they become more and more quarrels.

Without the participation of small and medium-sized jewelers, only a few large jewelers are playing here, and the transaction price will not be raised immediately. If there are many people, the price will be raised. If there is no one, what else can you fight? What's more serious is that some gambling stones cannot be sold.

Taking these into consideration, Longmen Stone City changed its policy three years ago and auctioned the auction with a dark bid. After everyone was optimistic about which gambling stone, they marked the price and threw it into the box, and then several notary officials were responsible for unboxing and announcing the winning bid.

In this way, small and medium-sized jewellers felt that they had the opportunity and gradually came back. As it turned out, it was indeed much fair, and many small and medium-sized jewellers could take pictures of their favorite gambling stones.

For today's secret bid, Longmenshi City announced the six notaries present. There were three from the Jewelry Association, two from the local notary office, and one from Longmenshi City.

The gambling stone may not be able to open jadeite. Even the Longmen Stone Market itself cannot determine whether the gambling stone will rise or collapse. Even if it is opened, it may not be like what it will look like after it is cut. If you can confirm this, the gantry will auction it, and you will cut it open.

Because of this, there is no problem of cheating in secret. Once a secret bid is made, everyone bids to choose the highest one. Even if they win the bid, they have to leave it to fate.

After the rules were announced, the host invited the VIPs present to go on stage in batches to observe the gambling stones, and then prepare for the quotation.

Zhang Yu and Nie Huaibo took the stage together. Angelababy and Ye Rong didn't understand much, so they didn't go up and sat down to chat.

The first gambling stone to be auctioned is naturally No. 1. This gambling stone is not small in size, and the bidding base price is indicated on it.

The area of ​​the window for gambling stones is not small, it can be as big as two slaps, revealing green jade.

Nie Huaibo used a strong flashlight to confirm. First, he had to understand the quality of the jade, and then evaluate the size of the jade inside.

He was able to confirm soon that this was a piece of jadeite of citrus. As for the size of the jadeite inside, it was difficult to determine.

But when Zhang Yu saw this, he was overjoyed. He could figure out the size of the jadeite. He didn't know what the jadeite inside looked like before.

Now cut out a side and know what kind of jade it is and you can determine the size yourself. That's not a sure win.

After Zhang Yu touched it, he could immediately confirm that more than half of the gambling stone was jade.

But Zhang Yu didn't know much about the market and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Nie, this jade price is 75 million. How big does it have to be opened to make a profit?"

Nie Huaibo said: "In terms of market value, at least one-quarter of the volume of jade can be used. But according to the processing price, as long as one-fifth of the volume of jade can be used, the cost can be paid."

Zhang Yu estimated the volume of this jade. According to Nie Huaibo, it should be worth about 160 million yuan. But he ignored one problem, that is, the larger the jade as a whole, the higher the value.

Long Huachi, Long Huarong and them came in a group. When Long Huarong saw Zhang Yu, she immediately curled her lips and said, "How did you come in?"

"It doesn't seem to be too much for 100 million yuan. I was lucky yesterday and accidentally made 100 million yuan." Zhang Yu said lightly.

"I was lucky yesterday, but today may not be good. If you look at any of them, tell me quickly. I won't fight with you, and you will lose to death!" Long Huachi said hatefully.

"Then let's wait and see who will lose to death when you see it." Zhang Yu said disdainfully.

Both sides were so nervous that they went to prepare after stepping down.

Next, the second group of people came on stage and continued to observe the gambling stone No. 1.

Sitting back to the seat, Nie Huaibo asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yu, what do you think of this gambling stone?"

Zhang Yu whispered: "I think it's not small, so I can definitely make money."

After all, I found it myself, so I have confidence.

Nie Huaibo started to fill out the quotation form for gambling stones No. 1, and Zhang Yu also had it. Although he knew that he would definitely make money, he felt that investing 75 million yuan would only double the profit, which was not very cost-effective. I would take a look at it later and don’t rush to throw the money out in a flash.

I have only this little money and am not a rich man.

Nie Huaibo was also optimistic about this gambling stone, so he bid 90 million. Because the quotation must be filled out, if you don’t like it, you can write abstention, so Zhang Yu bid vacancies.

Then, the host announces that all the VIPs will deliver the quotation to the cabinet on the rostrum.

After confirming that everyone had voted, the auctioneer and six notaries opened the box and announced the result.

The auctioneer wanted to read all the quotes from everyone and finally determine the highest one, which is fair. In the end, the gambling stone was taken by Zhou Pangpang Jewelry Store for 110 million yuan.

After the result came out, Zhou Pangpang's manager checked out and delivered the gambling stones, moved the stones to the stage, marked them with their names, and did not cut them for the time being, and they would talk about them when the auction was over.

The others went up to observe the gambling stone No. 2 in batches again.

The base price of the gambling stone No. 2 was 100 million yuan. Nie Huaibo quickly confirmed that this was a piece of glass jade. Although the water head was a little worse, it was enough to just open one fifth of it. When Zhang Yu touched the jade, almost two-thirds of the part contained therein was jade. In other words, the jade inside was worth at least 300 million yuan. If converted by volume, it could actually be worth 400 million yuan.

When Zhang Yu saw that the deal was good, Nie Huaibo wanted to get the gambling stone and bid 200 million. Zhang Yu's family didn't have the money, so they could only write 100 million symbolically.

The final result was that Longhuachi of Longshi Jewelry won the gambling stone for 230 million yuan.

Seeing Longhuachi proudly going up to settle the settlement, Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown secretly. Even if he could find out the size of the jadeite in the gambling stone, it seemed useless.

I only have more than one billion yuan, so how can I play with others? Even if I encounter good jade, I can't get it. Moreover, I have good luck in Longhuachi, so I really have no tricks. (To be continued.)
