"Mr. Xia, how many did you win?" Yu Mingdong asked with a smile as he walked.
Until now, he still treated Xia Ruofei as a complete newbie who didn't know anything about stone gambling. This newbie might be rich, but in this public market where experts were as numerous as the clouds, even if he won, it would be a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Or perhaps, it would be one or two stones that performed poorly that others didn't want.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Let me count … If I remember correctly, it should be eight!"
"Oh, eight, not bad …" Yu Mingdong said casually. Then, he opened his eyes wide and shouted, "What? Eight! You actually managed to hit eight … "
Then, Yu Mingdong asked nervously, "How much in total?"
"Not much, about 12 million!" Xia Ruofei said casually, "There are still a few good raw stones that I didn't win!"
In fact, Xia Ruofei only won eight, but he had to say that!
Yu Mingdong was a little confused and worried. Many of the raw stones in the public bid were not accurate, and even he didn't dare to make a decision easily. That was why he hired He Ping as a consultant with a high salary.
It was no exaggeration to say that even a jade merchant like him who had been in the business for many years could lose everything if he wasn't careful.
Previously, when Xia Ruofei said that he had won more than 20 million, Yu Mingdong was just a little surprised. After all, he might not win, so he didn't say much.
But now that he had actually hit the jackpot, he would have to pay the price!
That's 12 million RMB ah!
Yu Mingdong thought that most likely Xia Ruofei didn't know the ropes, so he bet a ridiculously high price. That was why he won among so many experts.
If Xia Ruofei lost a few million in the public bid, then Yu Mingdong would have a hard time explaining it to Ma Zhiming!
Yu Mingdong suddenly felt a headache coming on.
He asked urgently, "Mr. Xia, how many raw stones did you win?"
Although it was too late to say anything now, Yu Mingdong still wanted to understand the situation. To be precise, he wanted to assess Xia Ruofei's losses.
Xia Ruofei reported the serial numbers of the raw stones that he had won the bid.
Among these eight raw stones, the first seven were very inconspicuous. There were thousands of raw stones of various sizes in the entire public bid. Yu Mingdong naturally had no impression of these numbers.
However, when Xia Ruofei reported the number of the eighth raw stone, 1896, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
"So, No. 1896 was won by you!" Yu Mingdong said, "If I remember correctly, the winning bid was 8.6 million!"
This raw stone was also the focus of Yu Mingdong's attention. However, after he compared it with He Ping many times, he felt that the possibility of a huge increase was not high. He Ping believed that No. 633 had greater potential.
Although the starting price of No. 633 was higher and the competition was more fierce, in the end, Yu Mingdong decided to take a gamble. In the end, he got his wish and won the raw stone at the price of 21.35 million.
As for whether it was a profit or a loss, only Xia Ruofei knew in his heart.
Yu Mingdong thought about it. No. 1896 was not bad. The price of 8.6 million was much higher than he expected. At that time, after he and He Ping discussed it, he felt that 7 million was the upper limit. Any higher and there would be no profit. In addition, the competition was fierce, so he gave up.
However, in any case, it was unlikely that this raw stone would make a big loss. Even if his luck was not very good, according to the current performance of this raw stone, it should be possible to get 3 or 4 million worth of jade.
Thinking of this, Yu Mingdong heaved a sigh of relief.
Xia Ruofei said that he had won eight raw stones, which totaled 12 million. However, No. 1896 had already cost 8.6 million, which meant that the other raw stones were very cheap. Even if he lost all of them, he would not lose much.
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! I thought this raw stone was good at first glance, and I saw that a lot of people were interested in it, so I simply raised the price. I didn't expect to win! "
Yu Mingdong was speechless for a while. This was more than eight million, not just eight hundred pieces! He didn't understand stone gambling at all and just casually bid.
However, it was a foregone conclusion, and it seemed that Xia Ruofei was quite happy. He probably wouldn't go back on his word. Even if he lost, he wouldn't lose much, so Yu Mingdong didn't say anything more.
Xia Ruofei didn't know that in Yu Mingdong's heart, he had become a stupid rich second generation with a lot of money.
The two of them walked to an empty service desk together.
At this time, a lot of people who had won the bid had already come to pay for the handover. The staff was also busy shuttling back and forth in the raw stone display area.
When Xia Ruofei and Xia Ruofei came over, a pretty staff member immediately greeted them with a smile.
Xia Ruofei first showed the second page of the eight bidding forms. After the staff checked it on the computer, she immediately smiled and said, "Sir, congratulations on winning the bid, and I also wish that the price of the raw stone you bought will be greatly increased!"
"Thank you!" Xia Ruofei said, and then asked, "Can I swipe my card?"
"Of course, please wait a moment!" The staff member said.
She quickly calculated the total transaction number, then took the bank card from Xia Ruofei and swiped it quickly. Xia Ruofei entered the password and signed. 12 million yuan was spent without blinking an eye.
"Please wait for a moment. Our staff will send your raw stone over soon."
Xia Ruofei nodded. He suddenly had an idea and asked, "Right, I have a relatively large raw stone. I want to leave it with you temporarily. Is that okay?"
"Yes! May I ask which one it is? "The staff member asked.
"Number 1896."
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
The staff member first operated on the computer and changed the status of the raw stone from "Pick it up immediately after the transaction" to "Temporarily Stored". Then she sent a deposit receipt to Xia Ruofei.
She said, "Sir, please keep this receipt. The public jade bid will end in three days. We will keep it for you for free for three days. You can pick it up at any time during these three days. I need to remind you that we only recognize the receipt, not the person. Don't lose the receipt. "
"I know, thank you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Yu Mingdong still had several raw stones that had not been bid, so he was not in a hurry to trade. He just waited aside.
After a while, two staff members pushed a small cart to the service desk. The small cart was filled with the seven raw stones that Xia Ruofei had his eyes on.
Yu Mingdong looked at them. They were all small raw stones, and their appearance was ordinary. He was even more sure that Xia Ruofei did not know how to identify jade raw stones.
These seven raw stones cost more than three million yuan. Yu Mingdong estimated that the three million yuan might have been wasted. If he was lucky, he might have gotten a jade worth a million yuan. If he was unlucky, he might have bought seven pieces of waste stones with three million yuan.
However, Xia Ruofei was so excited at this time that he did not want to pour cold water on him.
The staff member said, "Sir, these are the seven raw stones you just bid for. Please check them!"
Xia Ruofei remembered the appearance of these seven raw stones clearly, but he still took each of them in his hand and looked at them seriously. He also used the Ling-Tu Scroll to verify them.
Although it was unlikely that there would be any tricks in such a big public jade bid, Xia Ruofei was still very cautious.
The Ling-Tu Scroll's reaction was still strong, which meant that the stones had not been swapped. Xia Ruofei nodded with satisfaction and said, "No problem!"
The staff member said enthusiastically, "There is a stone cutting equipment provided by our conference for free next door. You can go there directly to cut the stones."
Xia Ruofei said, "I don't plan to cut these raw stones for the time being. I want to take them away directly … By the way, I saw people from the escort company at the door. Can you ask them to help me transport them to the hotel?"
Yu Mingdong listened to Xia Ruofei say that he did not plan to cut the stones immediately. He was slightly relieved. He was also worried that there would be no green at all. The raw stone No. 1896 was fine, but he was not optimistic about these black raw stones!
The staff member said, "Yes! If you need it, I can help you contact them, but you have to pay for it yourself. "
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Then he turned to Yu Mingdong and said, "President Yu, I plan to take these raw stones to the hotel first! I have a friend in Spring City. He can help me find a channel to transport them back to the Southeast. "
Yu Mingdong was also a little surprised. Logically speaking, a young master like Xia Ruofei would definitely be eager to cut the raw stones after buying them. He did not expect that Xia Ruofei was not in a hurry to cut them today, and even wanted to take the raw stones back directly.
Xia Ruofei had also guessed Yu Mingdong's thoughts. He smiled and explained, "I have a friend at the three mountains who is very interested in the mysterious stone gambling. Coincidentally, these raw stones aren't big, so I wanted to bring them back and cut them with her to satisfy her curiosity …"
After saying that, Xia Ruofei winked at Yu Mingdong.
Yu Mingdong suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Mr Xia, it must be a female friend, right?"
Xia Ruofei smiled but did not say anything.
Yu Mingdong consciously guessed Xia Ruofei's thoughts. He just wanted to show off in front of a woman. How domineering was it to buy a few stones for a few million yuan to cut them for fun? If there was some jade in them, he could give it to the woman directly. Maybe he could get close to her.
This was mainly because Yu Mingdong had a preconceived notion that Xia Ruofei was a rich young master, so he was unknowingly misled by Xia Ruofei.
He laughed and said, "I understand! I understand! Anyway, these raw stones are not very big. If your friend has connections in the civil aviation industry, it's very convenient for him to fly them back! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
Yu Mingdong said again, "Mr Xia, before you came, I had already booked a hotel room for you in advance. I still have to keep an eye on things here, so I can't go back with you …"
After saying that, Yu Mingdong waved his hand and called Shi Lei, who was not far away, over. He said, "Lei, accompany Mr Xia back to the hotel …"
Xia Ruofei quickly said, "No, no, just give me the room card. Isn't there someone from the escort company here?"
Yu Mingdong was a little hesitant. The people from the escort company were only responsible for sending things to the place, they would not always help you guard it. In fact, Ruizhou was also quite chaotic. No matter how much the raw stones were worth, they had cost more than three million yuan!
However, he thought about it again. There shouldn't be any open robbery in a five-star hotel. In addition, Xia Ruofei said that he had contacted his friends in Spring City in advance, and they would soon come to transport the raw stones. He also needed Shi Lei to follow him. If anything happened, Shi Lei could protect him, so he agreed with Xia Ruofei's suggestion.
Yu Mingdong asked Shi Lei to give the room card to Xia Ruofei, and the people from the escort company had received the notice and had already arrived at the service desk.
Five or six escorts, all armed with guns and carrying boxes similar to cash boxes, swiftly packed all seven raw stones into boxes.
It was at most three or four kilometers from here to the hotel, and the escort fee was 3,000 yuan. Fortunately, this fee was also collected by the organizer of the Jadeite Public Bid. Otherwise, Xia Ruofei would not have prepared so much cash.
After he swiped the card, he said goodbye to Yu Mingdong and Shi Lei, and walked out of the public bid site with the escort.
Xia Ruofei took the escort car of the escort company and arrived at the Wuzhou Hotel that Yu Mingdong had booked in advance in less than ten minutes. It was a smooth journey, and no accidents happened.
The escort carried the box and directly sent Xia Ruofei to the hotel room. After taking out the raw stones, he politely said goodbye.
It was only fifteen minutes, and he got 3,000 yuan. Xia Ruofei couldn't help but sigh. This money was too easy to earn!
After the escort left, Xia Ruofei immediately locked the door.
This was a small suite. In addition to the bedroom, there was a small living room.
Xia Ruofei went directly to the bedroom, locked the doors and windows, and drew the curtains. Then, he immediately released his spiritual power to check the entire room without any blind spots.
After confirming that there was no problem, Xia Ruofei summoned the Spiritual Map Scroll in his palm.
He prayed silently in his heart, and then with a thought, he put all seven raw stones into the Ring-Tu space.
Although the Jadeite in the raw stones was not opened, it did not affect the absorption of the Ring-Tu space.
"It must be upgraded!" Xia Ruofei said to himself.
The Jadeite contained in these seven raw stones was more than all the Jadeite materials that he had absorbed for the Ring-Tu space. In addition, he had absorbed so many Boundary Stones before. If the Ring-Tu space still couldn't be upgraded, then Xia Ruofei could only go and take back the largest raw stone.
His mind went into the Ring-Tu space, and the space's invisible force wrapped around the first raw stone. Soon, the Jadeite Essence inside the raw stone was quickly absorbed by the space. In less than a minute, the raw stone turned into a pile of dust.
The jadeite contained within it had been completely absorbed before it could even display its peerless beauty to the world.
There was still no reaction from the Ring-Tu space. Xia Ruofei's face was very calm, and he continued to target the second raw stone.
Two pieces, three pieces, four pieces …
Soon, he had absorbed the seventh raw stone, but there was still no reaction from the Ring-Tu space.
Just as a trace of disappointment appeared on Xia Ruofei's face, he suddenly felt that the space seemed to tremble slightly. Xia Ruofei's eyes suddenly lit up. He knew that the space had reached the critical point of upgrading.
At this time, the seventh raw stone had not been completely absorbed. The Ring-Tu space was still greedily absorbing the Jadeite Essence in the raw stone!
Although at this time, the space was definitely not a problem to upgrade, Xia Ruofei did not expect that there would not be enough Jadeite at the last moment. In this case, he would have to go to the Jadeite Public Plate again and bring back the largest raw stone, which would add a lot of trouble.
