The bearded man was clearly a veteran, very familiar with the auction process, and after taking a glance around the venue, he signaled the staff to bring up the first lot of the day.
"Rough Jade?"
Upon the opening of the box and seeing a very good-looking piece of rough stone inside, Ye Feng was somewhat surprised, they play this game here?
"This is a halfway bet on top grade rough stone, as you can all see, whether it's the skin or the cut, the momentum is very promising. There could be a piece of jade inside that is worth a fortune. The starting bid is 200,000, and each increment must not be less than 10,000."
The auctioneer presented the rough stone, gave a detailed introduction, then announced the price and declared the auction open.
Most of the buyers present didn't find rough jade to be odd, as they had presumably seen such items here before, merely glancing up without showing interest in participating in the bidding.
