Chapter 108: The Sky-High Price of Jadeite

  Just as the voice of the member who added 60 million to "200 million" had just fallen, someone immediately raised the price again, and directly added 20 million.

  This time the price increase is by Zhengzhou's director Zhao boss, Zhao boss operates three jade specialty stores and two jewelry companies in Zhengzhou, and also has two branches in Kaifeng, he is a big boss with total assets over 100 million.

  "Twenty-one million"

  The person who raised the price first added another 10 million, turned around and glanced at Boss Wang from Zhengzhou. He had assets worth billions of yuan like Boss Wang, but his territory was in Nanyang, where he had two jade mines before the mountain was closed off in Dushan, and the largest jade stone chain company in Nanyang was also his.

  "Two billion two hundred million"

  Mr. Wang raised the price again, and no one else made a sound. Everyone had expected that this piece of glass with jade would be highly competitive, but they didn't expect someone to start bidding aggressively from the beginning.

  "Two billion three hundred million"

  The boss of Nanyang added another price increase and glanced back at the other two strong competitors.

  Boss Wang suddenly smiled and turned to Nanyang, saying: "Old Zhao, the glass was snatched away by you last year, can't you let it go this time? Can't you be more generous?"

  "That piece of glass has already been digested by me last year, besides, who would have the leisure to be idle with a glass-like jade?"

  Nanyang Old Zhao snorted, but his tone was slightly complacent. Last year, he relied on the home advantage to suppress several other competitors and finally got that glass seed. This year, he didn't plan to give up that glass seed either.

  Nanyang Old Zhao has a unique advantage that others do not have. He used to be a jade mine owner and operated several jade stone chain stores, with a group of skilled craftsmen at his disposal, many of whom were trained by him personally, allowing him to save a lot on the cost of processing jade stones.

  This year's Jade Carving Competition champion piece won by Li Yang was crafted by Master Zhao from the Old Zhao Company.

  "Alright then, 280 million."

  Zhengzhou Wang boss shrugged and suddenly added 50 million yuan.

  "Thirty million"

  This time the quotation is from Liu Boss in Luoyang, his jade stone shop has the most, but mostly medium-sized, Liu Boss has long wanted to expand the scale, but the top-grade source of goods has always been insufficient, and it's hard to expand the scale without top-grade jade stones.

  Another person has come out, and Nanyang Old Zhao let out a sigh of relief at the same time became more tense. The most frightening thing about these powerful people is that they don't speak up, nobody knows whether they will insert a stick in the crucial moment.

  "Three billion two hundred million"

  Nanyang Old Zhao also added 20 million, after having the sweet head of last year's glass species emerald, Old Zhao is determined to get this year's glass species.

  330 million

  The fourth person made a bid, this man originally intended to let the front row fight first, and then take advantage of it, but he ignored everyone's determination for this glass species, and if he didn't make a move, it would be too late.

  "Thirty-eight million"

  Mr. Wang from Zhengzhou raised the price by another 5 million, this is when it gets most exciting, previously they were just probing each other, after finding out that neither side had any intention of backing down, Mr. Wang directly raised the price to the edge of market value, to see if he could scare off one or two people.

  "Four hundred million"

  Nanyang Old Zhao's eyes widened, and he added another 20 million. The market value of this kind of glass is over 400 million, but at this time, the market value of jade cannot be calculated by its market value, especially for something like glass that has a price but no market. Some people are even willing to lose money just to buy it, and its significance is very different.

  "Forty-two million"

  Luoyang Liu boss added another two million, the person who finally shook his head and sighed, looking at the current situation, he had little hope of bidding for this piece of glass jade, these three people did not give up, this piece of glass jade would continue to rise in price.

  "Four hundred and thirty million" Ten seconds later, Old Wang from Zhengzhou bid again.

  "Four thousand four hundred million" Luoyang Liu boss closely followed, Old Wang looked up at Liu boss in surprise, he did not expect Liu boss to be so resolute.

  "Four billion five hundred million", Old Zhao from Nanyang's eyes seemed a bit red.

  Old Wang hesitated for a moment, if he got 450 million, he would definitely not make money, it's not that he didn't want to lose money to buy it, but now losing money to buy this piece of jade doesn't have any special benefits for him.

  "Forty-six million"

  Loyang Liu boss added another 10 million, his face expression was very calm, only the urgent breathing exposed his thoughts at this time, 460 million for him is no longer a profit, he just wanted to expand his own scale.

  "Forty-eight million"

  It's Nanyang Old Zhao again, the glass-type jadeite is very important to Nanyang Old Zhao at present. The Nanyang jade he stored, also known as Dushan jade, is becoming less and less. In the future, his business will definitely need to transform. Jadeite is the best direction for transformation. With this piece of glass-type jadeite, it can greatly enhance the reputation of his company. Transformation not only will be smooth but also invisibly enhance the reputation and prestige of his company.

  49 million

  Hesitating for a moment, Mr. Liu gritted his teeth and constantly calculated the pros and cons in his mind.

  "Five hundred million"

  Lao Zhao's eyes also turned red. At this time, Wang Lao Ban from Zhengzhou had already given up, and only Liu Lao Ban was still competing with him. Lao Zhao's eyes were fixed on Liu Lao Ban.

  Li Yang was also stunned at this time. If this piece of glass jade were sold to the An family, it would probably be worth 450 million yuan at most. But here, it was actually auctioned off for a high price of 50 million yuan. Even if he found the boss with a processing plant and had other connections, Li Yang would still find it difficult to make money from this piece of jade.

  Mr. Liu's expression on his face could no longer be maintained, constantly changing, finally letting out a deep sigh, and stopped arguing with Old Zhao.

  Nanyang Old Zhao also let out a deep breath, if he continued to struggle on like this, he wouldn't be able to hold on either.

  With the auctioneer's gavel, tonight the most valuable piece of jade fell into the hands of a Nanyang person again. The faces of all the members from Nanyang were filled with proud smiles. They have never lost their dignity as the owner of the thousand-year-old jade and the host.

  The faces of Mingyang members were filled with pride, this 500 million jade was actually deciphered by the people of Mingyang.

  "Five hundred million!"

  Zhang Wei let out a loud sigh, looking at Li Yang with a slightly complicated expression. This piece of jade had given this young man more wealth than he had accumulated in over 20 years of hard work. It was really unfair that some people were just naturally better off than others.

  "Congratulations, you have become a member of the 50 million rich club."

  Simarlin smiled lightly and patted Li Yang, but Li Yang felt a bit embarrassed and lowered his head. Five hundred million, this was another huge sum he had never seen before.

  Wu Xiaoli also lowered her head, and there was no excitement on her face that she should have had. Li Yang already had more than 50 million yuan in personal assets, which meant the gap between her and Li Yang was getting bigger and bigger. Wu Xiaoli felt like she couldn't catch up with Li Yang anymore.

  Zheng Kaida looked at Li Yang, his eyes kept turning, and after a while, the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of a smile.

  Nanyang Old Zhao has already run over to discuss the transaction with Li Yang, and the two will formally trade tomorrow. For such a large transaction, they need to sign a transfer contract, and there must be a lawyer present.

  Some members of the Jade Association have begun to slowly leave the conference hall, and this auction will also become a good topic for them. Especially the last glass species auction, with hundreds of millions of dollars added one after another, it was a thrilling scene that is rarely seen, making everyone feel that it was worth coming.

  Back in his room, Li Yang was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Five million yuan, if exchanged for 100-yuan bills, would be enough to fill a bed. He had never even dreamed of having such a day before.

  The next morning, Li Yang got up early. Soon he would go with Old Zhao to sign the contract. After signing the contract, those 50 million yuan would truly belong to him.

  Other jade stone association members didn't get up late today, yesterday's opening red ignited everyone's strong desire, who all hoped to be like Li Yang and step into the sky in one step, also gamble out a glass species to sell for 50 million, and never have to work again for the rest of their lives.

  Simar Lin, Zheng Kaida, Wu Xiaoli and Liu Gang are all with Li Yang, after the big rise yesterday, today Simar Lin and Zheng Kaida also want to try their luck, thinking of pulling Li Yang to gamble a few more times, such a big rise is beneficial for everyone.

  Apart from them, Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin also followed, Zhang Wei's face was slightly red, yesterday he had doubts about Li Yang, in the end Li Yang proved his doubts were wrong.

  Others also wanted to follow Li Yang, but they were not familiar with him and didn't dare to come over. However, some people had already made up their minds that when they arrived at the Yu Shi Cultural Square, even if they couldn't follow Li Yang closely, they wouldn't stray too far from him either, hoping to rub off some of his good luck.

  Li Yang and the others went downstairs, Old Zhao was already waiting for them downstairs. He was even more anxious than Li Yang, if he didn't sign the contract, that glass-enclosed emerald wouldn't be his. Last night, he also didn't sleep well.

  Under the witness of a lawyer, Li Yang and Old Zhao quickly signed their names on the contract. Old Zhao gave Li Yang a cash check for 50 million yuan, and the top-grade glass jade raw material was also handed over to Old Zhao by Li Yang himself.

  The transaction was completed, and Li Yang went to the bank to transfer the money into his own account. Looking at the eight-digit number in his account again, Li Yang smiled with satisfaction.

  The next day, Li Yang and the others didn't take a minibus, but drove their own two cars instead. On the way, Li Yang listened to them explain in detail the process of the second day's activities. Compared to the first day, there would be many more high-quality jade stones for sale on the second day.

  With the excitement of the first day, more people gathered at the Jade Stone Cultural Square on the second day. After the opening red activity of the Jade Stone Association, the name of this activity was fully demonstrated, and it was a good opening red.

  After finally finding a parking spot, Sima Lin immediately pulled Li Yang and walked in, Zheng Kaida closely followed on the other side of Li Yang, Wu Xiaoli and Liu Gang were squeezed out by them, while Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin followed closely behind Li Yang, making him laugh and cry at the same time. These people seemed to be bodyguards, surrounding him in the middle.
