"Song Wei, this list is for you." Xia Ruofei handed over a blank bidding list with a smile and said, "You can bid for the No. 572 raw stone, the small one in the corner over there. As for the price … I think it's about 100,000 yuan. "
"So little?" Song Wei said in surprise.
"You'll know when you see that raw stone." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You have to trust my intuition. Just bid for that one and do as I say."
In fact, Xia Ruofei had already used his mental strength to sense that no one had asked for that raw stone so far. If he hadn't asked Song Wei to bid, it would have been one of the few failed raw stones.
Song Wei took the bidding list and walked in the direction Xia Ruofei had pointed out.
Xia Ruofei could only remind him to this extent, so after giving the bidding list to Song Wei, he didn't care about it anymore. Instead, he seized the time to bid. He was interested in five raw stones, and one or two of them were relatively popular. Now, the bidding deadline was not far away.
Xia Ruofei quickly filled out the bidding list and put it into the corresponding bidding boxes for the five raw stones.
Then, he paid close attention to the five raw stones and stood near the two relatively popular raw stones.
If someone still bid in the last few minutes and the bidding price was higher than the price Xia Ruofei had just put in, then he would decisively raise the price again.
In fact, as long as it was a raw stone that Xia Ruofei liked, others basically had no chance.
After all, this was a secret bid for others, but for Xia Ruofei, everything was transparent. The bidding price of others was no secret to him at all, so he was basically in an invincible position.
Time passed by, and everyone was nervously paying attention to the situation in the field, especially when they had bid for the raw stones. Once someone approached them, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
Finally, it was twelve o 'clock sharp. There was a burst of music in the venue, and the organizer officially announced the bidding deadline.
Xia Ruofei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the staff begin to close the bidding box.
Just now, in the last few minutes, there were still people who went to bid for the raw stones that he was interested in. Fortunately, the price they bid was lower than the price he wrote, so this time he won the bid.
Song Wei soon returned to Xia Ruofei's side. She asked nervously, "Ruofei, when will the results be out?"
"Normally, it will be announced in an hour or two. Let's go out for lunch first." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, and then teased, "You just threw such an inconspicuous raw stone, what's there to be nervous about?"
Song Wei glanced at Xia Ruofei coquettishly and said, "How can I compare with a big local tycoon like you?"
Then, she asked worriedly, "The starting price for such a small piece of rock is actually 90,000 dollars … Ruofei, do you think I'll lose out if I really win it?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? Isn't it on me if you lose out? "
"That's right!" Song Wei couldn't help but laugh. "Let's go and find a place to eat!"
"Well, let's call Mr. Yu and the others!" Xia Ruofei said.
…
Near Feicui Street, Xia Ruofei and the others found a restaurant that looked good and asked for a private room.
"Mr. Xia, let's not drink at noon. Let's have a light meal!" Yu Mingdong held the menu and said to Xia Ruofei, "After all, there's still business in the afternoon!"
"Agreed!" Xia Ruofei said, "Let's have a light meal. I also want to go back to the public bidding site as soon as possible!"
Yu Mingdong quickly ordered a few dishes and politely handed the menu to Xia Ruofei and Song Wei. However, the two of them didn't care much about what they ate, so they didn't add any more dishes. They just asked the waiter to hurry up and serve the dishes.
Yu Mingdong asked, "Mr. Xia, did you bid today?"
"I randomly bet a dozen pieces based on my gut feeling, but I might not win," Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "How about Mr. Yu? Did you see any stones that you liked? "
Now that the bidding had ended, everyone could naturally talk about this topic casually.
Yu Mingdong said with a smile, "I also bet a dozen pieces! Let's cast the net wide! I don't know how many pieces I'll win … "
Xia Ruofei joked, "Be careful that you won't be able to pay for all of them!"
Yu Mingdong laughed. "If there's such a good thing, even if I have to sell everything I have and borrow money from loan sharks, I'll raise the money!"
Song Wei pursed his lips and smiled. "Mr. Yu, isn't there a local tycoon here? If you don't have enough money, you can borrow from him! "
"No problem! As long as Mr. Yu gives me enough interest! "Xia Ruofei also joked.
"Haha! If I really want to borrow from Mr. Xia, I'll definitely give you enough interest! "Yu Mingdong also laughed and said.
After the group of people had a simple lunch, they returned to the public bidding site on Feicui Street.
The site was closed off, and the people who were participating in the public bidding were chatting outside.
When it was about one o 'clock, the door to the public bidding site opened, and everyone walked in. Xia Ruofei and Song Wei were also in the crowd, and they walked into the public bidding site together.
Just like last time, the public bidding site was divided into two parts, and the middle was separated by a tape.
The back part was where the raw stones were placed and the bidding data was tabulated, while the front part was where a long service desk was placed.
The big screen at the site was still blank, but since the organizers let everyone in, they should be announcing the winning bid data soon.
Sure enough, under everyone's expectant gaze, the big screen began to refresh, and there was a small commotion in the crowd.
Song Wei also quickly focused his attention on the big screen. Xia Ruofei saw this and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your raw stone is more than five hundred! It won't be that fast … "
"Can't I look at the others first?" Song Wei said, then asked, "Oh right, which raw stones did you bet on? I'll help you look at them! So that you won't miss it … "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "I'll tell you when I win! So that I won't lose face if I don't win … "
"You're still keeping me in suspense …" Song Wei looked at Xia Ruofei, amused.
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "You should focus on your raw stone! You only bet on one. If you don't win, then you'll have come here for nothing … "
"Bah bah bah! Don't jinx it! "Song Wei said," Then why don't you recommend me to bet on a few more? If I don't win this one, then it's all your fault! "
While the two were chatting, the big screen began to announce the winning bid.
Naturally, some people were happy, while others were sad. Some of the raw stones were more popular, and received hundreds of bidding orders, but in the end, there would only be one winner. This meant that many people were destined to go home disappointed.
Those who won were naturally ecstatic, while those who didn't, in addition to looking depressed, were also looking forward to the bidding of the next raw stone.
At this time, the atmosphere at the site was crazy, and it was really similar to the casinos in the old days.
Xia Ruofei glanced at the screen, then smiled and said, "My luck is good, I won one …"
"Really? Which one? "Song Wei asked quickly.
"Number 261!" Xia Ruofei said.
This raw stone was also the one he was most optimistic about. The reaction of the Spiritual Map Scroll was almost the same as that of the raw stone that was very likely to be the king of the bids, with a starting price of more than 40 million yuan. The starting price of this one was only about 4 million yuan, and the people who were paying attention to it were obviously much less than that raw stone.
Xia Ruofei combined the bids of other people, and finally put in a bid of 6.18 million yuan. Naturally, he won the bid.
"More than 6 million yuan!" Song Wei couldn't help but exclaim, "You really dared to buy it! This is the rhythm of not treating money as money at all! "
Xia Ruofei didn't think much of it and smiled. "Anyway, I made a lot of money yesterday. If I really lose this one, I'll just treat it as buying some entertainment. It's just a little less money. I won't lose anything …"
"That's a good attitude!" Song Wei said with a smile, "I hope your luck is as good as yesterday!"
"I'll take your blessings!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I also wish you a fortune!"
"Hehe, thank you, thank you!" Song Wei cupped his hands at Xia Ruofei seriously.
The bidding continued, and the second raw stone that Xia Ruofei had his eyes on — raw stone number 468 — was also opened. He also won the bid without any suspense.
The starting price of this raw stone was 2.13 million yuan, and Xia Ruofei put in a bid of 3.2 million yuan.
Because this raw stone was the most popular of the five raw stones he had his eyes on, there were many people competing for it. The highest price was 3.15 million yuan, and Xia Ruofei couldn't bear to give up on this raw stone, so he put in a bid of 3.2 million yuan.
According to the reaction of the Spiritual Map Scroll, it shouldn't be a loss to buy it for more than 3 million yuan.
When Song Wei found out that Xia Ruofei had won the raw stone, he didn't make too much of a fuss — he had won the previous six million yuan, so three million yuan was nothing.
She was getting more and more nervous now, because the result of the bidding for the raw stone she had put in was getting closer and closer.
Xia Ruofei's remaining three raw stones were numbered after Song Wei's.
So Xia Ruofei also began to pay attention to when the raw stone's information would be refreshed.
Number 500, number 530, number 560 …
Screen after screen of information was refreshed. Finally, when the new screen of information was refreshed, Xia Ruofei saw the situation of raw stone number 572 at a glance.
He didn't pay attention to the winning bid number — he naturally wouldn't remember such a long string of numbers. He naturally paid attention to the winning bid price.
120,000 yuan!
When Xia Ruofei saw this price, he couldn't help but be stunned — he had asked Song Wei to fill in 100,000 yuan because the starting price of this raw stone was 90,000 yuan. When he asked Song Wei to bid in the last few minutes, no one was interested in this raw stone at all.
But now the winning bid was 120,000 yuan. Could it be that someone really came out to compete in the last few minutes and offered such a high price?
It couldn't be that low, right?
Even if this raw stone was won, he wouldn't earn much. However, this was recommended by Xia Ruofei to Song Wei. If he didn't win, he wouldn't be happy.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Xia Ruofei's mind.
Song Wei, who was next to him, was stunned for a moment. Then, he grabbed Xia Ruofei's arm and cheered, "Ruofei, it's won! I've won! "
There were many people like Song Wei at the public auction, so her behavior didn't attract too much attention.
Xia Ruofei was stunned and said, "Look carefully, the winning bid is 120,000 yuan!"
"Yes! 120,000 yuan, I wrote 120,000 yuan! "Song Wei said excitedly," I checked the winning bid number, and I won! "
Song Wei waved the bidding ticket in his hand as he spoke.
Xia Ruofei looked at the excited Song Wei and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He said, "Didn't I ask you to fill in 100,000 yuan?"
Song Wei said with some embarrassment, "I went to take a look, and the starting price of the raw stone was 90,000 yuan. I was worried that 100,000 yuan wasn't enough. So, I simply added 20,000 yuan! "
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he guessed correctly, Song Wei's bidding ticket should be the only one in the bidding box for this raw stone. In theory, even if she wrote 90,000 yuan, she could still win.
Xia Ruofei was already kind enough to let Song Wei round it up and write 100,000 yuan.
He didn't expect this silly girl to add 20,000 yuan on her own initiative. Wasn't this a waste of money?
However, seeing Song Wei's happy expression, Xia Ruofei couldn't bear to scold him. He just smiled and said, "It's good that you won! I'll congratulate you in advance for this raw stone! "
"Thank you! Thank you! "Song Wei said with a smile. Then, he asked," By the way, when are we going to get the raw stone? Can we open it on the spot? "
"No hurry, let's wait for the results to come out! I still have to pay attention to the raw stones I put in! " Xia Ruofei said, "President Yu and the others are also waiting. If you want to open the stone later, you can …"
"Okay!" Song Wei said.
The information on the big screen was quickly refreshed. By three o 'clock in the afternoon, all the bidding results of the raw stones were out.
Without any suspense, Xia Ruofei won all five raw stones. Of course, he claimed to Yu Mingdong and Song Wei that he had put in more than ten raw stones. Otherwise, this winning rate of 100% was too scary.
As Xia Ruofei expected, the king of the bids was the raw stone with the starting price of more than 40 million yuan. The final transaction price reached a terrifying 70 million yuan, almost doubling the starting price.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but secretly shake his head. He felt lucky that he didn't join in the fun. Otherwise, even if he had a little profit, it probably wouldn't have been much.
How could this compare to the feeling of putting in a raw stone that was worth more than 6 million yuan, and instantly increasing its price by seven or eight times or even ten times?
At the end of the bidding, Xia Ruofei ran into an acquaintance. It was the unlucky Fatty Xia Luo who had accepted the bid yesterday.
When Fatty Luo saw Xia Ruofei, he didn't have yesterday's sarcasm. His attitude was very polite and enthusiastic.
The two of them exchanged the results. Xia Ruofei realized that Fatty Luo's luck was pretty good today. He had staked everything on one throw and finally won the raw stone with the number 823 at a price of more than 10 million yuan.
This raw stone was also one of the dozens of raw stones that Xia Ruofei had paid attention to at first. He had used the Spiritual Map Scroll to sense that Fatty Luo had won it at this price. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to make a lot of money.
Even if it couldn't make up for yesterday's loss completely, at least part of it could be recovered. Moreover, with this raw stone, his jade factory shouldn't be short of high-end jade materials in the short term.
Just as Xia Ruofei was chatting with Fatty Luo, Yu Mingdong came over.
"Mr. Xia, how's the result?" Yu Mingdong asked with a smile.
Xia Ruofei also smiled and said, "President Yu, I see that you're beaming. It looks like you've made a lot of money today!"
"Haha! Luck! Luck! "Yu Mingdong said happily," I won a few pieces, but I don't know if I can make a profit … "
"I also won five pieces. I spent a total of more than 20 million yuan!" Xia Ruofei said casually.
"Mr. Xia is really generous!" Yu Mingdong exclaimed.
Although he knew that Xia Ruofei didn't know how to gamble on stones, he didn't dare to underestimate Xia Ruofei anymore. Luck was really something that couldn't be explained clearly. Xia Ruofei's brilliant result yesterday was enough to explain everything.
Yu Mingdong asked eagerly, "How about it, Mr. Xia, let's still open stones together today?"
