By that time, Su Nantian had already read through the fifty stones one by one.
He walked over to Zhou Zhi and said, "You can take pictures of these five stones, #5, #8, #16, #30, and #42."
"Good!"
Zhou Zhi suddenly realized something and frowned, "Mr. Su, why is there no #1 stone? That is today's standard king!"
Actually, his main purpose today is to take a picture of this gold piece.
Some time ago, he saw this standard stone in the organizer's brochure.
He asked many domestic stone betting experts to look at it, and they were all unanimously optimistic about this piece.
Originally, he thought that Su Nantian would definitely like this bidding piece, but he didn't expect that the other party wouldn't like it at all.
Upon hearing this, Su Nantian didn't know how to explain it at all.
But what he had seen through his qi gaze technique was definitely unmistakable.
So he said: "I really don't like this stone! If you believe me, don't take pictures of it."
Zhou Zhi was silent for a long time and said nothing more.
2 p.m.
The three of them entered the auction hall and found a place to sit by chance.
Coincidentally, Liang Dong and the others were sitting across from them, looking at them with a sneer on their faces.
The auction officially began.
"Welcome to the annual Jiangcheng Stone Auction!"
The host said on stage, "We will auction in order from #50 to #1. Without further ado, let's start with the stone number 50. The starting price is 500,000. Let's start the bidding now!"
Immediately after that, the 50th stone was carried up, and everyone started bidding.
Neither Zhou Zhi nor Liang Dong participated in the bidding.
In the end, the stone was bought by a jewelry company for 2 million.
After that, I photographed several more stones in a row, and finally it was the turn of stone number 42, which was one of the five stones selected by Su Nantian.
The base price is 1 million.
"Two million."
Determined to win, Zhou Zhi immediately raised the price to 2 million.
For a while, many people who were preparing to bid hesitated.
"2.5 million."
At this time, Liang Dong smiled and shouted out the price.
"Master Liang, this stone is not in our selection!"
An old man behind Liang Dong quickly reminded him.
He was Liu Gang, the stone gambling advisor of Liang Jewelry.
Earlier, he had gone through the fifty materials one by one and selected a few that he liked.
As for this material number 42, he was not optimistic about it, so it was not one of his choices.
However, Liang Dong ignored him and just looked at Zhou Zhi and Su Nantian provocatively.
"3000000."
Zhou Zhi raised his eyebrows and continued to shout.
In the end, when Zhou Zhi asked for 5 million for this stone, Liang Dong decided to give up the bidding.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, I just want him to bleed more."
Liang Dong had a bright smile on his face.
Zhou Zhi was on Su Nantian's side, and he would definitely not make it easy for Zhou Zhi.
"Brother Dong, well done!"
Xu Meimei couldn't help but praise him.
Time passed slowly, and an hour passed quickly.
At this point, 49 stones had been auctioned off, and only the last stone remained.
The highest bidder in this auction is Stone No. 1.
Although Zhou Zhi won the five stones selected by Su Nantian, he also paid several times more due to Liang Dong's price increase.
"Start bidding on the last stone in this auction!"
"It's also the one you're most looking forward to, the #1 stone!"
"Bidding will start now, the starting price is 20 million."
The host said loudly from the stage.
Suddenly, everyone in the audience became anxious.
The reason why Biaowang is called Biaowang is because it is of good quality, and there is a high probability of finding extremely high-grade jadeite.
Many people in the audience had come to bid on this piece.
"23 million."
"28 million
"32 million
...
The price kept rising and soon reached 50 million.
"100000000."
At this time, a voice sounded next to Su Nantian.
The person calling out the price was none other than Zhou Zhi.
He apologetically looked at Su Nantian: "Mr. Su, although you are not optimistic about this stone, I believe that this stone can produce high-quality jadeite!"
Just now, he had hesitated for a long time.
Many top experts in the country have seen this stone, and they are all very optimistic about it!
His intuition also told him that this piece of Bidding King would definitely produce good products.
But... only Su Nantian is not optimistic.
Under such circumstances, he thought that no matter how great Su Nantian's stone playing skills were, it would be impossible not to make mistakes every time, right?
He must have misjudged this piece of bidding!
Therefore, he finally made the decision to accept the bid.
Upon hearing this, Su Nantian just smiled and said nothing.
Whether the other party believes it or not has nothing to do with him.
"120 million."
At this time, Liang Dong also spoke.
However, this time, he not only wanted to raise the price, but also wanted to be the highest bidder.
Among the several stones that Liu Gang had selected, Stone No. 1 was clearly listed, and the symbols that focused on it were standardized.
"150 million."
"180 million."
"200000000."
...
The price is still rising, but many people have given up bidding because the price has exceeded the affordable range. Only Zhou Zhi and Liang Dong remain.
Although they are both the top jewelry companies in Jiangcheng, the current prices make both of them feel pressured.
"Zhou Zhi, I am bound to win this bid. I advise you to give up! You can't compete with me!"
Liang Dong said coldly.
"Give up, why should I give up? If I don't try, how will I know that I can't compete with you?"
Zhou Zhi replied without any sign of weakness.
What is the importance of a standard piece for a jewelry company?
It is no exaggeration to say that if this piece goes up in bidding, his company will be able to surpass Liang's Jewelry by a wide margin.
"Since you are humiliating yourself, I will help you!"
Liang Dong shouted: "500 million! Zhou Zhi, do you still dare to follow me?"
500 million is already a large part of his company's available funds.
It can be seen that he is very determined to win this title.
Zhou Zhi frowned in shock.
500 million!
Liang Dong actually raised the price that high!
That much money was almost all of his cash, so he was feeling a lot of pressure.
It's probably going to be extremely difficult to successfully capture this iconic piece!
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have made a decision and was about to bid.
Su Nantian spoke: "Is it worth spending so much money to buy a worthless stone?"
He could see that the current price was already putting a lot of pressure on Zhou Zhi.
If you have to take a picture of it, you might lose everything.
After all, the other party was Zhou Yuan's nephew, so he still couldn't bear it.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhi, some of the superiors, felt agitated and said without thinking: "Mr. Su, I need to take a picture of this stone. You don't need to convince me! Besides, this stone can definitely be sent. Stop talking nonsense!"
He was determined to take the stone, but Su Nantian was unable to send it. Isn't that a crow's mouth?
He immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "700 million!"
This is his entire working capital. If the other party raises the price, he really won't be able to get the money out.
The reason he made such a desperate move was to show his determination to win, to scare the opponent into surrendering.
Upon hearing this price, Liang Dong's forehead also had fine beads of sweat.
No one expected both parties to raise the price so high.
Obviously, he was afraid to make another bid.
If we take this stone and fail to ship it, we will definitely lose everything and the company will definitely go bankrupt.
He looked at Liu Gang beside him and said with a trembling voice, "Mr. Liu, are you sure that this stone can be shipped?"
"I..."
Liu Gang was speechless.
Originally, he was very confident, but the price has reached such a high level, and he is also aware of the serious relationship between them, and he does not dare to guarantee that it will be shipped.
After all, if he dared to promise to open it and failed to do so, he would be responsible.
"Master Liang, I'm not 100% sure, so I might as well give up! The risk is too great."
In the end, he persuaded rationally.
Upon hearing this, Liang Dong became much calmer and felt that it really was time to give up.
Seeing that Liang Dong didn't seem to be ready to bid, Xu Meimei said excitedly: "Brother Dong, raise the price! Do you want them to look down on us?"
"If you give up today, Su Nantian will definitely become even more arrogant! Have you forgotten that he asked you to kneel down today?"
"You can't swallow that breath! We cannot let them take pictures of this stone!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Dong's expression froze and he subconsciously looked at Zhou Zhi.
He found that Zhou Zhizheng was staring at him coldly, as if to say Liang Dong, is this all you have?
When he looked at Su Nantian again, he looked calm and relaxed and didn't even look at him.
Complete disregard!
Suddenly, the anger in his heart surged.
"Brother Dong, think about it, why are they fighting with us to the end? It must be Su Nantian who came to the conclusion that this stone can rise sharply!"
"Su Nantian doesn't know how to bet on stones, but his luck today is incredible. He opened three stones in a row that no one was optimistic about, and the price rose sharply!"
"And now, not only Su Nantian is optimistic about this bidding king, but everyone else is as well. Can the bidding be bad?"
At this time, Xu Meimei added again.
"Made, it's a bet!"
Liang Dong thought it made sense, a hint of madness appeared on his face, and shouted: "800 million!"
This was the entire working capital of his company!
Put all your eggs in one basket!
If you don't succeed, you will fail!
