On the stage, Yu Boyan and Zhang Jingshen continued to introduce the king of jade. This king of jade had been appraised by four people. Other than Yu Boyan and Zhang Jingshen, there were also appraisers from the Yang and Bai families.
"After many appraisals, the lowest price for this king of jade is above one hundred million. This is the agreement signed by us four appraisers."
After Yu Boyan produced the signed document, he said, "The path of stone gambling is broad and profound. Stone gambling is not stone appraisal. As long as there is gambling, there will be risks. So what happens after the jade king is opened, we can only leave it to fate."
"The starting price for this king of jade starts from one hundred million. If someone raises the bid once and exceeds twenty million, we will cut it an inch until it is completely cut. If no one raises the bid, it will be completely cut."
"Another detail is that the bidder can choose where to cut the king of jade."
"Now, the auction officially begins."
"One hundred and twenty million, one cut in the middle."
Hu Dezhi raised his sign.
Huang Lixing saw his enthusiasm and couldn't help but be curious, "Aren't you already allowed to enter the private auction?"
"Entering the private auction is a must, but of course, it's also a must to make a profit."
The jade cutter moved. Just half an inch into the stone, a smear of purple appeared.
"This is … purple jade?"
"Glass type violet with green flowers!"
"Last time, less than two kilograms of violet was sold for more than two hundred million. Such a big piece, my god …"
The jade cutter stopped half an inch into the stone. The first cut, the highest grade of jade, violet.
"One hundred and forty million, the bottom." Another person called out.
The second cut, an inch into the stone, no jade color could be seen.
Hu Dezhi squinted his eyes at the jade and asked Huang Lixing casually, "Grandmaster Huang, what do you think of this king of jade?"
"Cough, it's okay."
Another person raised his sign, "One hundred and sixty million, continue cutting!"
The third cut, continued to the bottom. Less than half an inch into the stone, another smear of purple appeared. The composition of the jade was the same as the middle.
"Wow …" The crowd gasped.
The first cut wasn't worth it. The next cut would see the jade, and the next cut would see the stone. The situation of cutting through everything was too common and common in the stone gambling industry.
The third cut is so worth it. The middle part is purple, and this part is also purple. The length is 40 centimeters from top to bottom. Such a big piece of jade, it's worth more than 100 million. "
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, why is there white gas coming out from the place where the jade is exposed?
Cold Qi, is this also a Millennium Cold Jade? "
Wasn't that right? The two parts of the Jade King Dew Jade were emitting a faint white gas that was visible to the naked eye.
"300 million, the upper part!"
Ye Yunfei, who had been silent all this time, made his move again. It was obvious that he cared a lot about the Cold Jade that had the effect of retaining one's appearance.
The jade master made his move. His fourth strike was a white one.
Hu Dezhi shouted, "320 million, President Ye's part, continue to cut!"
After that, he humbly asked Huang Lixing, "Grandmaster Huang, even if this King of Jade is so-so, it shouldn't be a problem for it to be worth three or twenty million, right?"
"Hehe."
Huang Lixing smiled.
No answer?
What did he mean? Could it be that the jade king wasn't worth that much money?
Hu Dezhi was suspicious.
Actually, he was thinking too much. Whenever Huang Lixing encountered a question he couldn't answer, he would always smile like this. The purpose was to make the other party feel that he was unfathomable. That was where Huang Lixing was brilliant.
The fifth strike was another white one.
Ye Yunfei raised his sign, "360 million, two inches!"
That saved him a lot of trouble.
The jade master made his move and cut another two inches, but it was still white.
Hu Dezhi shouted, "I'll help President Ye get to the end. Four, two more inches!"
Another two strikes. The upper part of the cut was already very deep, but the jade was still visible.
This made the guests who were looking forward to seeing jade feel slightly disappointed. But then they thought that it was reasonable. Otherwise, such a large piece of jade would be worth more than ten billion.
It would be a priceless treasure.
Of course, even if there was no jade on the upper part and only two cuts, if the inside was the same as the outside, then the price would still be sky-high.
"420 million, the middle and the back!"
"440 million, the middle and the bottom!"
Bids came one after another. But apart from the first two shocking cuts, the rest were all white.
The result wasn't good, and the number of bidders decreased. Every time Hu Dezhi called a price, he would ask Master Huang Lixing. Master Huang didn't agree, but he didn't object. This made Hu Dezhi more and more uncertain about the king of jade. When the price of the king of jade rose to 700 million, Hu Dezhi gave up.
"Jade, another jade!"
Four inches behind the middle was another smear of purple.
One Blade Laughs, One Blade Cries. This was how Stone Gambling was. No one knew what would happen until the very last moment.
Of course, this was only for the average person. For Li Mo, even before the first cut, he saw through the jade king.
"There is jade, but it's too small."
"Yeah, it's all white on the top and only two spots below."
"That's hard to say. What if they don't connect?"
"It'll be a big loss if they don't."
"760 million, the back and an inch below!"
The bidders had a tacit understanding. None of them called for a cut in the middle, because it was too important. Whether the jade king was worth or not, it all depended on that cut.
Left and right, the back, but not the front, to keep the jade king in suspense.
"960 million, no cut!"
Ye Yunfei called a high price in the midst of everyone's discussion, but he chose not to cut it.
Anyone could see that Ye Yunfei was sincere in buying jade.
The guests were silent.
"960 million going once."
"960 million going twice."
"960 million, anyone else?"
"960 million, sold!"
The auctioneer hammered.
With each cut, the value of the jade king would be over 10 billion. But from what I can see, even if it's a whole piece, it won't be worth more than 1.5 billion. "
Any higher bid would be equivalent to buying jade at a fair price. Moreover, there was luck involved. No one dared to say whether it was a whole piece of jade or not until it was completely cut.
Ye Yunfei bought the jade king for 960 million. The jade auctioneer continued to cut open all the uncut parts of the jade king.
Soon, the entire purple jade in the stone was revealed. Its shape was like the shell of an air conditioner, and its thickness was very uneven. The thickest part was similar to an ultra-thin mobile phone, and the thinnest part was similar to a piece of paper. Although the purple jade was smooth and had no cracks, there were very few parts that could be used in such a thin piece.
Hu Dezhi patted his chest. "Luckily, I can bear it. The value of this purple jade is only worth 100 million at most …"
Ye Yunfei lost out!
Ye Yunfei stood in front of the 'purple jade' with a sluggish expression.
Yu Boyan said, "Director Ye, Brother Jing Sheng and I have examined it just now. This purple jade is not Cold Jade, but there is cold air inside it. When it is cut, white air will come out. However, this phenomenon will only appear when it is cut. It will not appear on this jade in the future."
