Everyone's breathing became a little heavy. They all stared straight at the huge piece of the highest quality violet jade in the basin, and their hearts were burning with passion.
These jade merchants had been very active for a long time. As long as they had a little bit of strength, they all hoped to buy this piece of top-grade jade.
This piece of violet jade was half the size of a basin, and the pattern of the floating flowers was very delicate. If it was carved into a decoration by a good craftsman, it would definitely be the treasure of the store. The leftovers could be made into rings, pendants, and so on.
Everyone looked at Xia Ruofei with burning eyes.
Fatty Luo said with a shy face, "Young man …"
Before he could finish, Yu Mingdong said first, "Mr. Xia, can you sell this piece of jade? I'm willing to buy it at a high price! "
Fatty Luo was unwilling when he heard this. He said unhappily, "Old Yu, there has to be a first come, first served rule! I just said it first! "
Yu Mingdong curled his lips and said, "Mr. Luo, weren't you sure that this was a piece of waste? Why are you thinking of buying it now that there's a piece of top-grade jade? "
"Haha! That was then and this is now! " Fatty Luo was a businessman, and his skin was thick enough. "This young man looks like a man of great fortune. You can't just say that you know him and he can only sell this jade to you, right?"
Many people agreed with Fatty Luo's words.
"That's right, Director Yu. Everyone wants good things!"
"Why don't we all bid?"
Yu Mingdong also knew that such top-grade jade was hard to come by. These people would definitely not give it up easily. It was impossible to buy it from Xia Ruofei easily.
He snorted coldly and said, "Then let's bid!"
He Ping, who was on the side, had long been ignored by everyone. His face was pale. Today was not as simple as losing face. It happened in front of everyone, and it was impossible to keep it a secret.
Their business relied on reputation. After the news spread, it could be said to be a devastating blow to He Ping's reputation. After today's mistake, who would ask him to be a stone gambling consultant in the future?
He Ping was a little regretful at this time. He felt that he was looking for trouble. Why did he compete with a young man? Now, he had shot himself in the foot.
These jade merchants didn't have the time to care about He Ping's feelings. They couldn't wait to start bidding.
Fatty Luo was the first to lose his patience. "Little brother, I'll pay thirty-five million for this piece of jade!"
As soon as Fatty Luo finished speaking, someone snorted disdainfully. "Old Luo, you're bullying this little brother for not knowing the market! It's such a big glass type jade, and it's the rare violet floating flower, and you're willing to pay 35 million? Little brother, forty million, I'll take it! "
"Forty-two million!"
"Forty-five million!"
The bids came one after another. Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be a little stunned. He didn't expect this piece of jade to be so valuable.
He had spent a total of 8.6 million yuan to buy it. The valuable half of the jade had already earned him 5 million yuan. Even if this piece of Violet Floating Flower Jade was sold at the current price, it would be worth more than 40 million yuan.
That was equivalent to a profit of five times the original price!
"One cut to heaven, one cut to hell." Xia Ruofei had a more intuitive understanding of the excitement of stone gambling.
In the blink of an eye, the price had reached 48 million.
Yu Mingdong, who was standing on the side, didn't bid. He was very clear about the actual value of this piece of jade.
In fact, it wasn't just him. All the people present were experts in the jade industry for many years. Everyone knew the value of this piece of jade in their hearts.
Everyone's common judgment was that it was between 50 million and 55 million. If it was more than 55 million, the profit margin would be relatively small.
Of course, it didn't exclude the possibility that some buyers would pay a premium to enrich the high-end product line, but after all, they were in the minority.
Therefore, after the price reached this price, the number of people bidding gradually decreased, and the increase in the price wasn't as big as before.
When the price reached 50 million, Yu Mingdong finally made up his mind.
He looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Mr. Xia, I'll pay 50 million for this piece of jade …"
When Yu Mingdong said this, Fatty Luo immediately interrupted him and said mockingly, "Mr. Yu, Old Li already bid 50 million just now. What do you mean by quoting the same price? There should be a first come, first served rule, right? "
Fatty Luo was here for revenge — Yu Mingdong had also used the "first come, first served" theory against him just now.
Yu Mingdong glanced at Fatty Luo and said indifferently, "Am I done? Why are you so agitated, Mr. Luo? People who don't know better would think that the 50 million price wasn't offered by Mr. Li, but by you! "
"You …" Fatty Luo said angrily, "You clearly said that you'd bid 50 million!"
Yu Mingdong couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Fatty Luo. He looked at Xia Ruofei and continued, "Mr. Xia, don't you need some ordinary jade? I'll pay 50 million for this piece of jade, plus the jade worth 8 million. I hope you can part with it … "
Fatty Luo's mouth suddenly opened wide, and a shocked expression appeared on his chubby face. He stared at Yu Mingdong as if he didn't recognize him and couldn't speak for a long time.
The other jade merchants who were watching the bidding also gasped.
Fatty Luo came back to his senses and shouted in shock and anger, "Old Yu, are you crazy? 58 million! How can you raise the price like that? "
Everyone was also talking about it.
"Yeah! This piece of jade is at most 55 million, and there's not much profit to be made. Maybe we'll even have to pay for labor! "
"It's not bad to buy it for 55 million. After all, this kind of high-end jade adds to the brand, so it's intangible value. But fifty-eight million is … "
"Mr. Yu, don't be angry with Old Luo …"
Yu Mingdong looked around at the crowd and said indifferently, "This piece of jade has more significance than its actual value to Donghua Jewelry, and … isn't today the bidding? Am I not allowed to bid a high price? "
Fatty Luo said resentfully, "Mr. Yu, the price of jade is raised like this. If everyone is like you, how can we do business in the future? Also … does your company have so much liquid capital? You also spent a lot of money on this public bid, right? "
"You don't have to worry about that, Old Luo. I, Yu Mingdong, have a little reputation in the industry, and I won't go back on my word. Also, so many people in the industry are watching today! If I can't come up with the money … how can I stay in this industry in the future? "Yu Mingdong said indifferently.
Then, he ignored Fatty Luo and looked at Xia Ruofei. He smiled and asked, "Mr. Xia, what do you think?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Yu is very sincere. Let's do as you say, 50 million in cash, plus … jade worth 5 million!"
Yu Mingdong was stunned and opened his mouth.
But before he could say anything, Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Thank you for taking care of me on this trip, Mr. Yu. I can't let you lose out! If Mr. Yu agrees, we'll do the transaction according to my plan. Otherwise, I'll keep it for myself! "
In fact, Xia Ruofei had successfully upgraded the Ring-Tu space, so he didn't have an urgent need for jade anymore.
In addition, he also thought that Yu Mingdong was a good person. Just now, everyone thought that the raw stone was a lost bet, and many people were gloating. Only Yu Mingdong was generous enough to buy the jade for 5 million, hoping to reduce Xia Ruofei's loss.
Although Yu Mingdong might not lose money if he bought the jade for 5 million, his actions made Xia Ruofei have a much better impression of him.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't let Yu Mingdong buy the violet jade at a loss.
Yu Mingdong looked at Xia Ruofei and said after a while, "Mr. Xia, you're very open-minded! I, Yu Mingdong, will make a friend of you! "
The surrounding jade merchants were very envious of Yu Mingdong. He had received this kind of top-grade jade that was hard to come by, and the seller had even taken the initiative to lower the price.
It could be said that if the price was 55 million, many people present would be willing to buy it, not to mention that 5 million was deducted from the price of ordinary jade.
These jade merchants all had a lot of resources, so they wouldn't actually spend 5 million to buy jade worth 5 million. There was also a lot of difference in price.
Fatty Luo's eyes turned, and he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xia, I can also give you 50 million in cash, and … and give you 6 million in jade …"
Everyone looked at Fatty Luo with contempt — didn't he see that Xia Ruofei had rejected the jade worth 8 million and took the initiative to lower the price to 5 million? He clearly recognized Yu Mingdong as a friend, so why would he care if you, Fatty Luo, had an extra million in jade?
Sure enough, Xia Ruofei only glanced at Fatty Luo indifferently and said, "Thank you, Boss Luo, but I've already decided to sell this jade to Mr. Yu …"
"Old Yu hasn't agreed yet, has he?" Fatty Luo muttered.
When Yu Mingdong heard this, he quickly said, "Who said I haven't agreed? Mr. Xia, we'll trade according to your plan! I'll take this jade! "
"Happy cooperation!" Xia Ruofei smiled and reached out his hand to Yu Mingdong.
Yu Mingdong shook hands with Xia Ruofei and said, "Thank you! Thank you! "
His Donghua Jewelry had never had any outstanding high-end jade products. Xia Ruofei's top-grade jade was like timely rain, and it could be said to have helped him a lot.
"Mr. Xia, I'll transfer the money to you right now!" Yu Mingdong said, "As for the jade worth 5 million, I'll take you directly to the supplier tomorrow morning to pick it out!"
"There's no rush …" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Yu Mingdong was also afraid that a long delay would lead to trouble, so he directly asked for Xia Ruofei's account number and then filled out the check.
Originally, the check couldn't be cashed at night, but this time the government was very supportive of the public bid. There were staff members stationed in the bank, and they could transfer and trade at any time.
Shi Lei took the check and ran next door to transfer the money to Xia Ruofei, while Yu Mingdong personally looked at his pile of jade. The most important one was naturally the violet jade that he had just bought from Xia Ruofei.
The bank was very efficient. After a while, Xia Ruofei received a mobile phone notification that 55 million Huaxia dollars had been transferred into his account.
This time, Xia Ruofei had spent about 12 million on the raw stones. In the blink of an eye, he had earned more than 40 million, and he had also upgraded the Ring-Tu space.
This stone gambling was really profitable! Xia Ruofei couldn't help but secretly sigh.
However, he also knew that this kind of thing was fine once in a while. If he gambled and won every time, even a fool would suspect him.
There were certain rules to be followed when it came to stone gambling, but after all, it was a big gamble. Didn't a well-known expert like He Ping make a mistake? Xia Ruofei was a rookie who didn't know anything about stone gambling, but he kept winning. It would be strange if people didn't suspect him!
When everyone saw that the jade was already in Yu Mingdong's pocket, and Xia Ruofei had even received the transaction fee, they all prepared to leave dejectedly. The show was over, but they didn't get any benefits. What else could they do if they didn't leave?
At this time, Fatty Luo shouted, "Old Yu, don't you still have a raw stone that hasn't been opened? Why don't you open it together? I think you're very lucky today! "
Yu Mingdong had originally planned to open the raw stone that he had spent more than 20 million to buy tonight. When he heard Fatty Luo's words, he immediately nodded and said, "I really was going to open this material directly!"
The jade merchants who had originally planned to leave stopped when they heard this.
Although Yu Mingdong's material wasn't the king of the bids today, it could still be ranked in the top five. Just now, Xia Ruofei's raw stone had already broadened their horizons. Everyone wanted to see what kind of material could be opened from a raw stone that cost more than 20 million.
Yu Mingdong rubbed his hands and looked at his piece of material. Then, he turned his gaze to He Ping.
He said, "Old He, this piece of material …"
He Ping said coldly, "Director Yu, I won't comment! I already made a mistake just now! Isn't that little brother of yours very lucky? Let him give you some guidance! "
After he finished speaking, He Ping actually left Yu Mingdong behind and walked away.
Yu Mingdong couldn't help but be stunned. He thought to himself, what kind of person is this! He Ping had taken two million as a consultant, so he should have been the one to open the stone, but he actually left after saying those words in an eccentric manner!
Yu Mingdong thought about it again. After today's incident, He Ping's reputation in this industry was basically ruined. He probably had nothing left to lose.
However, Yu Mingdong didn't know that although He Ping had left, his reputation was still far from the lowest point. Whether he was there or not, his reputation would soon be damaged again …
After He Ping left, the stone opening had to continue.
Without Butcher Zhang, was he supposed to eat a pig with hair? Yu Mingdong himself had been in this industry for more than 20 years. Even without He Ping's guidance, he could still open the stone himself. At most, he would just have to be a little more careful.
