Gu Ning guided Leng Shaoting and the others to find their seats.
The seats were divided into four areas, A, B, C, and D. Area A was the VIP area, B was the medium-level VIP area, C was the ordinary area, and D was also the ordinary area.
Gu Ning came here with an invitation letter from Colorful Jade Provider, which was a major raw material dealer in City Teng. The government of Myanmar had invited them in person, so they had a VIP invitation letter.
Zi Beiying also had a VIP invitation letter, so they were all in Area A.
However, according to the order of first come, first served, they were placed at the back of Zone A. However, it didn't matter. It didn't matter where they were.
Qi Ziyue and the others were also in the VIP area, so they had the same seats as them. However, they went to see Ming Lu after they came in.
Although they didn't know much about raw materials, they still wanted to have a look.
Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua came without an invitation, so they were seated in Area D.
There were still 20 minutes before the auction began, so some people went back to their seats, but more people were still watching the auction.
Zhao Yuefeng came back and saw Gu Ning. "Miss Gu, aren't you going to have a look at raw materials?"
Gu Ning smiled. "No, I'm not going."
Zhao Yuefeng smiled. He understood that Gu Ning was very outstanding. Even if she didn't observe and study the raw materials, she could still win valuable jade.
After that, Zhao Yuefeng went back to his seat, which was in Zone B.
It was almost 12 pm, and everyone went back to their seats. Qi Ziyue and the others also came back.
When they saw Gu Ning and the others again, they didn't show any hostility.
When it was 12 pm, the organizer, who was in charge of the public bidding, arrived on time, and the hall became quiet all of a sudden.
On the auction stage, a young woman in a red gown walked out. She was very beautiful, and many people were amazed by her appearance.
"Dear guests, nice to meet you. I believe that many of you have attended the annual public bidding event in Myanmar before, so you must be very familiar with the public bidding auction. However, I still need to repeat the rules of the public bidding auction." The host looked around and briefly explained the rules of the public bidding auction.
In fact, the rules weren't very complicated. They just needed to pay attention to what they should pay attention to during the bidding, and how to deal with the customs and transportation after they won the bid.
"Now, let's begin the public bidding auction."
After that, the screen behind the host showed the picture of the No. 1 raw material, including all the information about its origin and weight.
A good raw material was a semi-open raw material. As the opening of the public bidding auction, the No. 1 raw material was definitely a top-quality raw material. Almost all the auctions followed the same rules. The second most expensive raw material would be the first one to be auctioned, and the most expensive one would be the last one to be auctioned.
The No.1 raw stone weighed 83 kilograms, and the exposed jade was the best old-pit glass-type jade. Of course, the diameter of the opening was only as big as the mouth of an ordinary cup, so he could only see that level. As for the type, quality, and size of the jade inside, he didn't know.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see the inside of the jade.
There was indeed the top-quality jade of the old pit glass type in this raw material, and it was very large, accounting for two-thirds of the whole raw material.
The base price of the semi-open raw material was one million dollars, and each bid should be at least five hundred thousand dollars.
According to the size of the jade, Gu Ning estimated that it was worth at least five hundred million yuan. However, because it was a semi-open raw material, people usually bid at two hundred million yuan, which was twenty-nine million and four thousand dollars, because they didn't know the size of the jade inside, or whether there was the top-quality jade of the old pit glass type in it.
It was because there were several kinds of jade in some raw materials. The first layer might be top-grade jade, but the second layer might not be the same. Maybe it wouldn't be the same in the later layers.
Moreover, the skin of raw materials was always thicker, so it was possible that there was only less than one-third of the jade inside such a large raw material.
Of course, it was only under normal circumstances. It was hard to say. Someone might bid a higher price, but it definitely wouldn't exceed three hundred million yuan.
"Two million yuan."
"Two million and five hundred thousand yuan."
"Three million yuan."
"…"
"Twenty million yuan."
Before long, the price reached twenty million yuan, and it was Dongfang Ziyu.
Although she didn't know how much jade there was in this raw material, it was of the highest quality after all, so she wanted to have a try. However, she had a bottom line in her heart.
However, when the bid reached 20 million, the number of people following the bid decreased from a few dozen to a few.
Gu Ning didn't bid for it for a long time, and she decided to bid again when the price was about to reach the end.
Some people who were familiar with Gu Ning noticed that Gu Ning didn't bid for it, so they subconsciously thought that there was no jade inside, or it was too small to be worth that price.
Gu Ning understood that whether she participated in the bidding or not would affect them, but it was their decision, not hers. She was worried that they would keep watching her, which would affect her future.
"Twenty-four million yuan."
"Twenty-four million and five hundred thousand yuan."
There were only two people bidding for it now, Dongfang Ziyu and a jewelry dealer.
After Dongfang Ziyu raised the price to 24.5 million yuan, the jewelry dealer didn't bid again.
After all, it was 24.5 million USD, not 24.5 million RMB.
Twenty-five million yuan was equivalent to 166 million yuan.
Although the window was made of the best old glass type, the size of the raw material was indeed very big.
"Twenty-five million yuan."
Twenty-five million yuan, Gu Ning bid.
Zhang Dequan and a group of jewelry dealers who knew Gu Ning stared at Gu Ning from time to time. Seeing that she bid for it, they knew that it was valuable, so some people joined in the bidding.
However, there were some who didn't bid for it. Even though they knew that the jade Gu Ning bid for was valuable, they had already given up. If they joined in the bidding when Gu Ning bid for it, it would be considered a competition with her.
Although everyone had the right to bid for it, some businessmen who wanted to maintain a good relationship with Gu Ning were unwilling to oppose Gu Ning.
Even though it was everyone's right to bid for it, those who had already given up came to compete with her again. Dongfang Ziyu felt displeased, because it was obvious that they were here for her.
"Twenty-five million yuan."
"Twenty-six million yuan," Dongfang Ziyu said.
"Twenty-six million yuan," Gu Ning said.
