Feicui Street wasn't far from the hotel, so they soon arrived at the site of the public jade bid.
It was Song Wei's first time seeing so many raw jade stones. In her eyes, these raw stones were no different from ordinary stones, and the prices were all shockingly high. She couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
"Ruofei, the starting price for such a stone is hundreds of thousands. Will anyone really buy it?" Song Wei couldn't help but ask.
Yu Mingdong chuckled and said, "Miss Song, a few hundred thousand is considered cheap here. Yesterday, Mr. Xia bought a piece of uncut stone. Guess how much it cost?"
"How much?"
"Eight million and six hundred thousand!" Yu Mingdong smiled and said.
Song Wei couldn't help but take a deep breath. She looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "I know you're rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich …"
"Since I'm here, of course I'll buy two to play with …" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Yu Mingdong asked, "Miss Song, although Mr. Xia doesn't gamble on stones, his luck is something that we are very envious of! Can you guess how much Mr. Xia's uncut jade stone was sold for last night? "
"Ten million?" Song Wei tried to guess a number. She thought she was bold enough.
Yu Mingdong laughed and said, "This number will be increased by five times, and it will be more than that!"
"What?" Song Wei cried out, "More than fifty million? Who's so stupid? Isn't this raw stone a bid? Isn't it better to spend one or two million to compete? "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh after hearing that.
Yu Mingdong's face was a bit strange, as if he was constipated.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Song, the stupid person … is me …"
Song Wei was stunned, and then she said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu. I just said it casually. I didn't expect you …"
Yu Mingdong waved his hand casually and said, "Mr Xia gave me a friendship price! There were a lot of competitors at that time. Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Xia for buying that top-grade jade for fifty or sixty million yuan! "
He then explained, "After the jade is cut out, its value is transparent. But when it is still in the state of raw stone, who can guarantee that there is jade inside? In fact, Mr. Xia's price was already higher than expected. Even if I were to bid, it probably wouldn't exceed seven million, so … "
Song Wei looked at Xia Ruofei in surprise. He smiled and said, "Ruofei, I didn't expect you to have such skills. Then you might as well not open a farm. How much money can you earn? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It was pure luck! In terms of stone gambling ability, I can't even compare to Brother Shi Lei … "
"I hope Mr. Xia's good luck continues today. I can also benefit from it …" Yu Mingdong said with a smile.
"I hope so! But Mr. Yu, don't get your hopes up, "Xia Ruofei said," Lady Luck won't always favor only me. "
"Mr. Xia, then … let's go separately?" Yu Mingdong asked.
On the last day of the public bidding, the number of raw stones was less than the previous batch. However, some of the raw stones that the organizers were more optimistic about were left for the finale, so Yu Mingdong naturally wanted to take a good look. He was different from Xia Ruofei, who was "lucky."
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Okay! Song Wei and I are just going to watch the fun. Mr. Yu, you choose well. You have more money now anyway. "
"Haha! That's all thanks to you! "Yu Mingdong said happily.
The group of people split up. Yu Mingdong didn't hire another stone gambling consultant. He started to choose raw stones himself with Shi Lei. On the other hand, Xia Ruofei and Song Wei were strolling around the site while choosing raw stones.
The last batch of raw stones would be on display for one and a half days. The bidding would end at noon tomorrow, so Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry. He looked like he was wandering around aimlessly, but in fact, he was trying his best to look at every raw stone.
With Xia Ruofei's current memory, even if he didn't use notes, he could still remember some raw stones with good performance.
Therefore, this afternoon would be a rough screening. The real selection would be tomorrow morning.
After looking for a while, Song Wei felt a little bored.
After all, for those who didn't know how to gamble on stones, it was a little boring to see so many people surrounding and touching stones that looked similar.
Xia Ruofei saw this and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate these black stones. They may contain beautiful jade! It's the same with people. You can never judge a person by his appearance. You can't judge a person by his appearance! "
Xia Ruofei seemed to casually touch a raw stone next to him as he continued, "The Doraemon pendant you're wearing now uses jade that was opened on this public board yesterday. Before it was unveiled, it was hidden inside this seemingly ordinary stone!"
Song Wei couldn't help but pull out the Doraemon jade pendant from her clothes. After looking at it for a while, she said, "Although I know that there might be jade in the raw stones, or else everyone wouldn't be so eager to get it, I still can't believe that such a beautiful piece of jade was mined from such a dark and swarthy stone …"
"This is the magical power of nature." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Jade is buried deep underground and formed after tens of millions of years …"
As Xia Ruofei chatted with Song Wei, he scanned through most of the jade without leaving a trace. Naturally, he had an evaluation in his heart. However, whether he should sell them, which pieces he should sell, and what price he should use would all depend on the situation tomorrow morning.
Xia Ruofei saw that Song Wei wasn't very interested in these things. After walking around casually, he found Yu Mingdong and said something. The two of them left the jade public board first.
Because the hotel wasn't very far away, the two of them simply walked back and enjoyed the scenery of a small border town.
Song Wei was in a good mood and was much more lively than before. As he walked, he smiled and said to Xia Ruofei, "Ruofei, you're so lucky. Tomorrow, give me some advice. I'll buy one to try my luck!"
"Aren't you not interested in this?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.
"I'm not interested in those stones!" Song Wei said, "But I'm interested in the money!"
"Hey! I didn't expect our Miss Song to be a money-grubber! "Xia Ruofei said.
"A money-grubber is a money-grubber! Anyway, you have to help me pick one, and it must be one that can make money! " Song Wei said, "My father is an honest official, and his hands are clean. Since I was young, I didn't have much pocket money. This time, I have to make some money for myself!"
"You sound so bitter and hateful … Later, I'll criticize your Secretary Song." Xia Ruofei joked, "Such a beautiful girl should be raised well!"
Song Wei laughed and said, "Come on! If you really see my father, would you dare to say that? "
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Xia Ruofei said, "If your father dares to blow his beard and glare at me, I'll ask Master Song to back me up!"
"You're good! You're good! "Song Wei said," Remember! Tomorrow, help me pick one too! "
"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said lazily, "But I can't guarantee that it will make money. Even the gods can't be sure. No one can be 100% sure …"
"Then … If it's a profit, it'll be on me, and if it's a loss, it'll be on you?" Song Wei said slyly.
"You can do that?" Xia Ruofei said, "You're too overbearing, aren't you?"
"Who asked you to be a big local tycoon!" Song Wei whispered in Xia Ruofei's ear, "You said you were going to treat my soul injury, but you didn't forget to gamble on stones and make tens of millions … You're really good!"
Xia Ruofei smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay, okay. If you lose, it's on me!"
He had gone to the Jadeite Public Plate to collect jade materials to upgrade the space. Of course, his purpose was to save Song Wei.
However, he had told Song Wei that he was going to Ruizhou to look for a medicinal material. Without exposing the Ring-Tu space, Xia Ruofei naturally couldn't explain more.
It took them about forty to fifty minutes to walk back to the hotel.
The raw stones on the Jadeite Public Plate were still on display at night. Yu Mingdong seemed to be preparing to stay up all night, so Xia Ruofei took Song Wei to find a local snack shop nearby to taste the local delicacies.
After dinner, Song Wei went to Xia Ruofei's room again. The two of them cultivated for a few more hours in the Time Formation.
However, Xia Ruofei told Song Wei not to try to break through easily. Everything should be done naturally, so that the foundation would be more solid.
Therefore, after this cultivation, Song Wei's Genuine Qi had become more solid, but he still hadn't broken through to the second level of the Qi Refining Stage.
If Xia Ruofei was willing, Song Wei could cultivate for a month or two, or even longer, in this one night, even if he didn't leave the Time Formation to go to the toilet, wash up, and eat and sleep in the Time Formation.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't do so.
First of all, Song Wei's cultivation was very smooth now. Even without the help of the Time Formation, he could cultivate the first level of the Questioning Heart Sutra to perfection in a short time.
Second of all, Xia Ruofei didn't want Song Wei to rely too much on the Time Formation. Although one or two months older than the outside world wouldn't have a big impact, he felt that it was better not to rely on external forces. This way, Song Wei could also experience the difficulty of cultivation and avoid relying on the Time Formation.
Therefore, after cultivating for a few hours, Xia Ruofei decisively put away the formation flag and persuaded Song Wei to go back to his room to rest.
The next morning, Xia Ruofei and the others arrived at the Jadeite Public Plate again.
On the way, Yu Mingdong also asked Xia Ruofei indirectly. He was still superstitious about Xia Ruofei's luck and hoped to know which raw stones Xia Ruofei was more optimistic about.
Although Xia Ruofei had a good impression of Yu Mingdong, he naturally kept his mouth shut at this time. Not to mention that there might be a competitive relationship between the two, just from the perspective of confidentiality, Xia Ruofei couldn't say more. Otherwise, if he picked a few raw stones this time and the price rose sharply again, it really couldn't be explained clearly by luck.
After arriving at the Jadeite Public Plate, Yu Mingdong seized the time to take a look at the raw stones that he liked yesterday, while Song Wei leisurely strolled around the venue with Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei seemed to be aimless, but in fact, he had already screened the raw stones yesterday. Today's purpose was still very clear.
He liked about a dozen raw stones. What he wanted to do today was to further screen and pick out a few that he needed to decisively sell. After all, he wanted to eat meat, but he also wanted to leave some soup for others to drink. There was always a choice, and it depended on the price-performance ratio.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei also needed to pick out a suitable raw stone to recommend to Song Wei.
Therefore, he seemed to be limited, but in fact, his brain had been spinning rapidly, constantly analyzing the raw stones that he liked.
In fact, after the first screening yesterday, the one that made the Ring-Tu space react the most strongly was a huge raw stone with a starting price of forty-three million yuan, but Xia Ruofei quickly removed this raw stone.
Not to mention that the starting price was ridiculously high, the main reason was that this raw stone was also a piece of semi-transparent material, and there were many people paying attention to it. Judging from the open window, the quality of the jade in this material was quite high. Although the bidding had not been closed yet, many people had already invested in the bidding list.
This raw stone had the momentum to become the king of the bids. Xia Ruofei estimated that the final price might be much higher than this starting price, so there was no point in chasing it.
Even if he could still make a little profit in the end, the price-performance ratio was not very high.
On the contrary, the raw stone that Xia Ruofei liked the most had a starting price that was not even one-tenth of this huge raw stone, but the reaction of the Ring-Tu Painting Scroll was almost the same as this huge raw stone, and it was not a particularly popular material.
This was what Xia Ruofei wanted to choose.
In fact, most of the raw stones that Xia Ruofei liked were in this situation.
In the end, Xia Ruofei chose five raw stones as his targets.
The starting price of these five raw stones added up to less than fifteen million yuan, but judging from the reaction of the Ring-Tu Painting Scroll, the value of the jade they contained would definitely not be lower than the one last night, and even one of them could almost catch up with the one last night.
If the final price did not exceed thirty million yuan, then it would be a big profit.
At the same time, Xia Ruofei also chose a raw stone for Song Wei. The starting price of this raw stone was only ninety thousand yuan, which could be said to be quite inconspicuous in today's jade market.
Almost no one was interested in this raw stone placed in the corner.
Xia Ruofei even suspected that it was forgotten to take it out when it was displayed a few days ago, and simply put it in the last batch to be displayed. As for whether anyone bought it or not, the organizers might not be very concerned.
It would be best if it could be sold, but if it couldn't be sold, then it could be slowly sold in the shop in the future.
Do you have a date or not?!
In fact, this raw stone was quite good. According to the reaction of the Ring-Tu Painting Scroll, the jade inside could be sold for three to four hundred thousand, or even four to five hundred thousand.
For Song Wei, this raw stone was obviously the most suitable.
Therefore, since ten in the morning, Xia Ruofei had been using his mental power to lock onto the six raw stones that he had chosen. Especially when someone went to bid, he would immediately peek at the price that the other party offered.
