"Such a big stone, just a little bit of jadeite, is it outrageous?"
Ye Tian shook his head, he could sense that the jade in this thousand-pound boulder was only the size of a fist, and Ye Tian immediately lost interest in this rough stone.
After leaving this rough stone that was considered to have been cut down, Ye Tian wandered around the field again, this time the rough stone transaction was not much material, only dozens of pieces, two or three hours later, Ye Tian finished reading it all.
It's just that the result made Ye Tian a little disappointed, among those cut rough stones, about half of them were thin aura, and the other half was too small in size, and the other third were all worthless stone eggs.
"Uncle, where did you go? I've been looking for it for a long time......"
When Ye Tian felt a little thirsty and returned to the door of the venue to find some water to drink, Liu Dingding appeared in front of him, following Fan Shaoguo and Wenwen beside her.
Ye Tian glanced at a few people strangely, picked up a bottle of mineral water provided free of charge by the venue from the table, and said, "I'm looking at these rough stones, what's wrong?"
Liu Dingding pouted and said: "Grandpa just taught me a lesson and said he didn't follow you."
"Can I still lose it? What's the matter with senior brother?"
Ye Tian laughed when he heard this, this person's seniority is really a wonderful thing, although he is younger than Liu Dingding, but in front of her, he has a feeling of an elder.
Liu Dingding said: "The auction of this rough stone is about to start, and my grandfather asked me to look at it."
"Okay, let's go."
Ye Tian nodded, followed Liu Dingding to the only building here, and after entering, he found that Zuo Jiajun and the others were already sitting inside and waiting.
"Ye Tian, how is it, are there any good stones you like?"
Seeing Ye Tian come in, Zuo Jiajun stood up and waved to him, usually Zuo Jiajun would only call Ye Tian a junior brother in private or in front of friends.
However, Zuo Jiajun's affection for Ye Tian still made many people's eyes focus on Ye Tian in the venue.
You must know that although Zuo Jiajun is a person in the jade jewelry business, he rarely works in this circle, and only occasionally comes here after the popularity of gambling stones over the years.
Ye Tian shook his head, walked to the chair next to Zuo Jiajun and sat down, and said in a low voice: "It's really like a mountain, senior brother, the doorway of this gambling stone is too deep for me to understand at all."
Although Zuo Jiajun had introduced him to python patterns and cracks before, those rough stones were basically the same in Ye Tian's eyes, and he couldn't tell whether they were good or bad at all.
"Haha, I was like this back then, Brother Ye, if you have the opportunity to play a few more times, you'll understand!"
Before Zuo Jiajun could answer, Wen Luanxiong, who was sitting next to him, laughed loudly, his words were full of affection, which caused the people around him to look sideways at Ye Tian.
One is a contemporary Yixue master, proficient in divination and divination, and the other is a famous "sniper" in the Hong Kong stock market, but at the same time expressed goodwill towards Ye Tian, which made many people speculate about Ye Tian's identity in private.
Fortunately, the people gathered here are considered to have a relatively high status on Hong Kong Island, but they won't make a statement, and after waiting for about ten minutes, the transaction officially started.
"Dear colleagues in the jewelry industry, I am very happy that we can take this opportunity to gather here again, everyone knows that Myanmar has not been very peaceful recently, resulting in the jade and jade market has been soaring, I won't say much about this, let's start the auction of all the stones!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, he was a permanent director of the Hong Kong Jade Association, and today's rough trade fair was organized by him.
However, rough stone trading in Hong Kong is different from the Myanmar jade market.
In Myanmar, in addition to the open bid auction, there is also a form of secret bidding, which means that the bidder writes down the rough stone number, and then writes down his bid amount.
Compared with open label auctions, hidden bids require more attention to eyesight and understanding of the jade market, and can often bid for their favorite wool at a very low price.
But in Hong Kong, the link of secret marking was omitted, and each rough stone was clearly marked with a price, and whoever had strong financial resources was the final winner.
This is also the reason why Zuo Jiajun was a little helpless that day, although he was famous in Hong Kong, his pocket was really inferior to these people in the field.
"Okay, what we are going to auction next is the rough stone No. 001, the base price is 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, interested friends can bid!"
The people present were all peers in the jewelry industry, so there was no need to say too much about the scene, and soon the auction began.
The jade market in '98 was just showing signs of popularity, and it had not yet invested millions or tens of millions of dollars like in later generations.
"Twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars."
"50,000 Hong Kong ......"
"I pay 120,000 Hong Kong dollars......"
"120,000, okay, congratulations to Mr. Wang, this rough stone is yours!"
The starting price is not high, it does not mean that the transaction price is very low, the piece of all-betting wool that performed well was quickly raised to 120,000 yuan, if it weren't for this piece of material only the size of a fist, I am afraid the price would have doubled several times.
Since the jadeite market is gradually being recognized by consumers, jewelers are still more rational and rational in treating jadeite rough at this time.
After the inspection just now, everyone will have a psychological reserve price for the rough stone they focus on, and most people will not raise the price after exceeding this price, and there is no very fierce competition.
However, with the emergence of some rough stones that performed better, the auction price gradually increased, just like the piece of material numbered 587 that Zuo Jiajun had just auctioned, which cost more than six million.
At this price, many people still did not continue to bid for Zuo Jiajun's face, otherwise that piece of material would definitely be able to fetch 8 million.
"Senior brother, this ...... Is it worth it? No one knows if there is jadeite in it?"
If it was a piece of jade worth more than six million, Ye Tian wouldn't say anything, but if the six million was spent, it was likely that what he would buy back was just a worthless stone, and Ye Tian felt a little worthless.
Zuo Jiajun smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Did you think this way before? But the gambling stone is like this, if this piece of material can be cut up, it may be worth 10 million or even more, if there is nothing, it is a bet failure!"
After hearing Zuo Jiajun's words, Wen Luanxiong smiled and said: "Master Zuo, your luck has always been very good, and last year's Jade King was solved by you."
Every transaction or auction organized by the Hong Kong jewelry industry will conduct some corresponding evaluations, which is also an opportunity to show strength among peers.
The trading of jadeite rough has formed a rule, that is, after the transaction is completed every year, a piece of jadeite with the highest value must be selected and awarded the title of "Jade King".
Last year, Zuo Jiajun was lucky, he spent 600,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy a rough stone, and actually solved a high ice jade with a total value of more than 10 million, and was awarded the title of "Jade King" last year.
Although this title does not have any substantial benefits, it can still help increase the visibility of your jewelry store.
Jadeite does not account for a large share of the current jewelry market, and the reason why so many people come is actually half of them for the title of "Jade King".
Hearing Wen Luanxiong mention last year's incident, Zuo Jiajun looked angry and said: "Ah Xiong, are you comforting me or saying sarcastic things? The best pieces of material have been taken away by you, are you trying to win over me, the old man?"
Zuo Jiajun's jewelry stores have a total market value of only 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and jade jewelry only accounts for about 10% of the total sales, so the funds that Zuo Jiajun can use this time are only 15 million.
In addition to this good material, Zuo Jiajun had also made several moves just now, although he bought some rough stones worth hundreds of thousands, but he had already spent seven or eighty percent of the money.
Gambling stones are often gambling on funds and financial resources, Wen Luanxiong is really wealthy, and he has just made a series of moves and pocketed more than ten of the best-performing rough stones.
Ye Tian roughly estimated that this guy had spent at least more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and looking at his posture, I was afraid that he would have to buy more before he would be willing.
"Hehe, I may not be able to catch fish by casting a wide net, you are targeted, how dare I compare with you!"
Although he knew that Zuo Jiajun was joking, Wen Luanxiong still accompanied him with a smiling face, in this place in Hong Kong, no one dared to offend Master Zuo.
This is not to say that Zuo Jiajun's hexagram is accurate, the main reason is that Zuo Jiajun's attainments in feng shui are also very profound, and if he really offends him, one day he will secretly manipulate your ancestral grave, then future generations will be unlucky.
When Zuo Jiajun was first famous more than 20 years ago, a famous feng shui master once came to provoke him, saying that Zuo Jiajun was gaining a false reputation and wanted to suppress Zuo Jiajun, a rising star.
At that time, Zuo Jiajun didn't say much, but a month later, the feng shui master died in a car accident, and when his family set up a mourning hall in front of their home, they accidentally started a fire and caused a fire, and finally ended up in ruin.
Since the feng shui master is also very famous in Hong Kong, the police have investigated the incident in depth afterwards, and after careful investigation, it was concluded that the car accident and fire were completely accidental.
At first, no one had linked this matter to Zuo Jiajun, but later it was rumored from an old man guarding the tomb that Zuo Jiajun had been to the ancestral grave of the feng shui master family before January.
Although no one can prove whether the words of the old man guarding the tomb are true or false, after this incident came out, Zuo Jiajun immediately became famous in Hong Kong, and at the same time established his status as the first feng shui master on Hong Kong Island.
So let alone Wen Luanxiong, even Li Chaoren and Sir Huo Fok, the Chinese leader-level Hong Kong rich people, when they saw Zuo Jiajun, they were also extremely polite and did not dare to neglect in the slightest.
Zuo Jiajun's auction today is over, and he turned his head to smile at a drowsy plate of Ye Tian: "Why, junior brother, why don't you take two rough stones to play with? Let me tell you, stone solving is a very refreshing thing."
Although Zuo Jiajun doesn't know how much Ye Tian is worth, he can still get this money, right?
"Me? Forget it, it's not so bad to have money?"
After hearing Zuo Jiajun's words, Ye Tian quickly shook his head, as the saying goes, Ye Tian doesn't like to gamble, he likes to control the development of the situation in his own hands.
"Brother Ye, why don't you ...... How many yuan can I buy for you to play with?" Wen Luanxiong said with a smile, his expression was very sincere, and he didn't put on any appearance of wealth and generosity, it was completely an inquiry between friends.
"Are you forcing me to gamble?" Ye Tian smiled bitterly when he heard this, he didn't want to accept Wen Luanxiong's feelings, so he could only say: "Okay, then I'll take a picture!"
It just so happened that the starting price of a rough stone that was being auctioned on the stage was not high, only 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and no one was willing to bid even after the auctioneer shouted three times.
"The following is the last rough stone auctioned today, and it is also the largest and heaviest piece this time, its base price is 3 million Hong Kong dollars, if you have a crush, please bid!"
After more than half an hour, the auction also came to an end, and the last rough stone in the auctioneer's mouth was the one Ye Tian saw.
"I said, it's obviously a stone that has collapsed, why is the price so high?"
"That's right, there is nothing on that facet, there can be no jadeite in it!"
As soon as the auctioneer's reserve price was announced, the audience was in an uproar, and many people noticed the giant rough stone, but when they heard that the auction price was so high, everyone was a little indignant.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Seeing that Tai Xiao was making a fuss, the auctioneer explained: "This rough stone was bought by someone else from Myanmar for 7 million. But this rough stone is mentioned so big, maybe jadeite will come out elsewhere!"
The auctioneer's words made the venue silent, the python pattern on the giant rough stone was very good, and it was cut down with a knife, which really did not mean that this rough stone was scrapped.
"HK$4 Million......
"I'll pay five million ......"
"Seven million Hong Kong dollars!"
Not to mention, there are many rich people in Hong Kong, and just now they were clamoring that the base auction price of the rough was too high, which would raise the price, and in the blink of an eye, it reached more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars, and the rough merchant was already not losing money.
