Chapter 249 [Auction of Jade Wool! 】
For ten days in a row, Dong Xuebin was looking for jade wool in the capital.
I have to say that the materials in the capital are really bad. Dong Xuebin has visited Panjiayuan and all the antique markets with gambling stones, but what he saw in the end was either bean or glutinous jadeite, all of which were medium and low-grade. The second jade, although it is a very good thing for ordinary people to see and see, and its value is really high, but it is useless to Dong Xuebin. Tens of thousands of jade can't be on the auction table at all. It is the kind of ice glass that is worth letting Dong Xuebin buy it with K.
So ten days passed and nothing was gained.
Seeing that the day of the jade special session is getting closer and closer, Dong Xuebin is a little anxious.
...
This morning, the top floor of Yunde Auction Company.
The sky was gray, and it was just dawn, but it was like five o'clock in the morning.
Qu Yunxuan woke up early, she sat up from the bed in gauze pajamas, looked at Dong Xuebin beside her, leaned over and kissed him dotingly on the cheek, and then began to put on clothes. In the past two days, Dong Xuebin and her slept at Yunde Auction because they were busy looking for jade wool. There is a rest room behind Qu Yunxuan's office, a double bed, a refrigerator, a desk lamp, a wardrobe, and a writing desk. If it's too late, Qu Yunxuan often sleeps here, and has long regarded it as a second home.
Dong Xuebin rubbed his eyes and opened them.
"Wake you up?" Qu Yunxuan looked at him apologetically, "Let's sleep a little longer."
Dong Xuebin yawned, "I can't sleep, huh, help me get dressed, I'll get up too."
Qu Yunxuan stretched out her hand distressedly, and touched his face gently, "Don't worry about looking for jadeite, glass and ice seeds, which in themselves are hard to come by, you've been too tired these ten days, you've been running away. What's wrong with your body? Go to sleep again. Tomorrow we will have a small auction at the auction house. Auntie will go to the company to arrange the layout. By the way, the wild ginseng you left at Auntie's place will be put up for auction tomorrow. , is it okay?"
"I don't care if you shoot it all, I'll deal with it all for you."
"Well, that aunt went first, and then wakes you up when she comes back."
After getting dressed and leaving the office, Qu Yunxuan sighed softly. She couldn't find Jade. How could she not be in a hurry? It was a matter of life and death for the auction house, but she didn't want to put too much pressure on Xiaobin, so she pretended to be nothing. In the same way, after hearing that Feng Yi's Jiaxin Auction House had already collected a piece of fine ice jadeite, Qu Yunxuan felt the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and she felt very uncomfortable.
inside the house,
Dong Xuebin didn't sleep anymore, but tossed and turned on the bed, where to find Jade?
He has wandered around various antique cities, but Dong Xuebin's luck seems to be exhausted. During this period, he has not encountered a good green. Do you want to visit again and try your luck? Dong Xuebin used to rely on the combination of K and a little luck to find out the leaks, and this can be done, but now that there is no luck, Dong Xuebin is helpless. A good jadeite is no good, what is it called? This is called a skillful woman who cannot cook without rice, can't Dong Xuebin conjure a piece of ice jade out of thin air?
In the morning, the small conference room of Yunde Auction Company.
Qu Yunxuan summoned the relevant persons in charge and experts of the jade special session, and Dong Xuebin was naturally pushed by Aunt Xuan.
It can be seen that everyone's faces are a little frowning.
A man in his thirties said, "Mr. Qu, in the previous auctions, the antiques we collected were all non-repudiation, the four treasures of the study, porcelain, and bronzes, so even if there is a conflict with the Jiaxin auction, it's okay, but This time, Jiaxin also chose the same date for the jadeite shoot, and now there are very few jadeites in the collection, most of them went to Jiaxin to shoot, we really…”
Teacher Wei sighed, "I think it's better to postpone it for half a month."
Another middle-aged man said, "Yeah, let's wait until Jiaxin's filming is over, then maybe we can collect some good greenery."
A woman said angrily, "Kaxin is clearly provoking us, so why don't you just shrink your head like this?" She seemed to be taken away by Jiaxin, so she had a great opinion of them.
Everyone you said and I said a word, and a fierce dispute broke out.
Qu Yunxuan patted the table to signal everyone to be quiet, "Xiao Bin, what do you think?"
Dong Xuebin frowned, "Give me a few more days, I'm not sure about the glass seed, but the ice seed jade... I can definitely get it." Glass seed ice seed jade is not completely invisible on the market. For example, in department stores, such as antique shops, there may be them, but this kind of jade is too rare, even if it is an ice bracelet, 99% of people will not sell it, but keep it as a collection Or put it in the store as a treasure of the store, so it is not easy to get a better ice jadeite, and some things can't be bought with money.
Mr. Wei frowned, not believing him very much, "Mr. Dong, if the ring face of Ice Seed is..."
Dong Xuebin said: "I understand this. If it's not a bracelet or a large piece, it's meaningless to take it back."
The ring face or ornaments of the ice seeds are relatively easy to get, but they are too small, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and they can't hold the scene. If there is not a million-dollar jadeite to be the master lot, this It will also make people laugh at the special event, it is better not to open it.
The meeting will disperse, and everyone will leave with their own thoughts.
Qu Yunxuan touched Dong Xuebin's hair and said with relief: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's a big deal that you won't hold a special show."
Dong Xuebin smiled helplessly, "It's me who thought things were simple, it was too smooth to pick up leaks before, and with some luck, it's all right, but thinking about it, I know that this gambling stone itself is not that simple, ice jadeite If it appears so frequently, is jadeite still jadeite? It won't be priced at the current price, ah, now a pair of ice-type bracelets with greener colors will cost one million, right?"
"Nearly two million."
"Well, anyway... I'll try my best."
Qu Yunxuan said: "You take a rest in the morning. Auntie went to a nearby auction house to take a look. I heard that they have jade wool for auction today."
Dong Xuebin snorted, "They also have an emerald show?"
"This time at Shi Hai Auction House is not a special event. It's a gamble at most. It only sells wool materials, and there are no finished jadeites."
"Okay, then you can go, let's go to Panjiayuan in the afternoon."
Dong Xuebin has also seen the auction of wool materials several times in the past few days. Most of these materials were recovered from Ruili Myanmar by the auction company, not provided by the auctioneer. When they were put at the auction, everyone bids. The higher one wins. In the end, the auction house will give the person who bought the material calcite for free. However, since the calcite will start after all the stones are auctioned, the interval is too long. Dong Xuebin estimates that his K will not play a big role. , what's more, he didn't think the materials from the auction house could be any good, so he didn't go.
As soon as Qu Yunxuan left, Dong Xuebin turned his wheelchair around in the office.
Emerald, where can I find emerald?
ten minutes……
half an hour……
One hour……
When Dong Xuebin arrived, he didn't have any idea. He looked at the watch, it was ten o'clock in the morning.
Being idle is also idle. Dong Xuebin called the staff below and found two people to push him down to the first floor. Then Dong Xuebin planned to go to Panjiayuan by himself, although he had already been there. A few times, but the first time you can't see good green, the second time you can't see good green, it doesn't mean you can't see the third or fourth time, if your luck suddenly comes, a good ice seed Falling in front of you, wouldn't it be a big bargain?
Dong Xuebin was about to leave the company in a wheelchair.
Ringing, ringing, the phone rang, it was Qu Yunxuan's number.
Dong Xuebin picked up the phone and said, "I was about to call you. You should look at you first. I'll go to Panjiayuan for a walk."
Qu Yunxuan sighed deeply, "Xiao Bin, let's change the day for the jade show."
"Huh?" Dong Xuebin was slightly stunned, "Isn't everything agreed? Why did you change your mind? Don't worry, I will definitely be able to get back a big piece of ice in the past two days."
"It's not that Auntie doesn't believe in your ability, but now... the ice seeds are useless."
"what happened?"
"Auntie is at the Shihai auction house. Feng Yi just photographed a piece of jadeite wool, and I don't know how lucky he was, but a piece of glass jadeite came out, or the kind of glass with a strong green color. There is enough material for the pair of bracelets. Do you know what the price of glass bracelets with green color is now? A pair of bracelets is about 10 million yuan, and the good ones can cost 20 million yuan. Now he is at least If he can play two pairs of bracelets, how can we compete with him for this special event?"
Dong Xuebin was stunned, did you have shit luck?
There was a noisy voice on the phone, and the other end seemed to be in a mess. Also, such a good wool material is not often seen on Ruili's side.
Qu Yunxuan sighed, "Let's talk about it when Auntie returns."
Dong Xuebin was a little flustered in his heart. Ten days ago, he vowed to give Feng Yi some color to see, and also said that he would let the other party change the day automatically, but ten days later, he didn't expect the other party to have such a good fortune, even glass jadeite Opened, it is the best quality jade in the jade, and it is not comparable to ordinary ice jade. For Dong Xuebin's side, this is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
How to do? Is it really necessary to change the day to avoid its edge?
Eh, wait, Dong Xuebin suddenly asked, "When did Feng Yi buy the ingredients?"
Qu Yunxuan said, "It was just at the auction."
"What time did I say"
"About ten minutes ago, that material was the last one to shoot, and it started after shooting."
Dong Xuebin is in high spirits immediately, I have been waiting for thousands of times to look for opportunities, isn't it here?
K20 minutes
...
...
time lapse
The next moment, Dong Xuebin swayed, feeling that his center of gravity was obviously wandering. Looking sideways, he had returned to the previous time. Two staff members were carefully pushing the wheelchair and put Dong Xuebin down from the steps. After these days of accumulation, Dong Xuebin's K will not have 20 minutes, but because he has not calculated it in detail, he shouted a little more in order to let himself go back to the maximum time period. Now it seems that , it should have been about fourteen or fifteen minutes ago
In the blink of an eye, the wheelchair descended the steps to the lobby on the first floor.
Dong Xuebin hurriedly shouted to the distance: "Come on Xiao Tao'er!"
Secretary Xiao Tao'er was talking to someone in the hall when she heard the words, "What's the matter?"
"Quick, push me to Shihai Auction House." Dong Xuebin didn't know if he could catch up, so he was too anxious. Seeing her slowly approaching suspiciously, Dong Xuebin hurriedly turned his wheelchair to meet him, "Let's lead the way."
Xiao Taoer knew that he and Qu Yunxuan had a very close relationship, so she pushed Dong Xuebin out of the company without asking more.
Dong Xuebin rubbed his hands and said, "Thank you sooner for the urgent matter"
Xiao Tao'er quickened her pace in disbelief, and by the end, almost all of them were running.
The location of Shi Hai Auction House is on another adjacent street. From this side, you can enter the alley and you can plug it in, and just turn the corner on the left side of the road. While urging Xiao Tao'er, Dong Xuebin called Aunt Xuan. Perhaps there was an auction over there, so after thinking for a long time, Aunt Xuan didn't answer.
Damn.
Dong Xuebin immediately said: "Go in and go in"
Xiao Tao'er pushed him into the door of Shi Hai's auction.
Because most of the auctions of this kind of wool are not held in hotels, but directly in the auction company, so with the size of Shi Hai's auction, the location of the conference room can almost be known at a glance. Xiao Tao'er also felt the urgency of the situation from Dong Xuebin's expression. She mentioned it in her heart, and regardless of the staff's inquiries, she quickly pushed Dong Xuebin to the small venue on the west side of the first floor, and arrived at the door in a blink of an eye.
A staff member reached out to stop them, "Sorry, there is an auction inside."
Dong Xuebin said quickly: "Open an auction card"
The man said: "It's already started, and now you can't enter. If you want to buy wool, come back next time."
Dong Xuebin had no time for nonsense, turned his head and said, "rush in"
Xiao Tao'er hesitated, but still listened to Dong Xuebin and walked straight forward. The staff member's face was angry, he stretched out his hand to grab the wheelchair, and cursed, Dong Xuebin's eyes were cold, he raised his hand and grabbed the man's wrist, twisted it hard, and pushed it hard, the staff member With a stunned expression, Deng Deng Deng stepped back several steps. Even if he is seriously injured, even if his legs can't move, Dong Xuebin is still Dong Xuebin, and his fighting power is much stronger than that of a white-collar worker.
The door of the venue has been rushed in by Xiao Tao'er.
On the rostrum, the auctioneer was holding the microphone and talking loudly, and there were many auctioneers sitting underneath.
Dong Xuebin's breakthrough immediately attracted everyone's attention. A person in charge standing in the door was stunned and came up to ask what was going on. The staff behind Dong Xuebin's hand twisted his hand and said immediately, Immediately, he stared at Dong Xuebin angrily. The person in charge frowned and looked over. It was really unethical to break in and interrupt the auction.
"Xiao Bin?" When Qu Yunxuan saw him, she immediately walked over from her seat.
The jade appraisal expert, Mr. Wei, was also there. After a daze, he followed.
The person in charge obviously knew her, "Mr. Qu, this is..."
Qu Yunxuan looked at Dong Xuebin strangely, and said, "This is my friend, with me."
After a lot of tossing, the auctioneer from Shi Hai still gave Qu Yunxuan face, and Dong Xuebin and Aunt Xuan and Teacher Wei walked to the back and sat down in a few vacant seats.
Qu Yunxuan asked suspiciously, "Xiao Bin, why are you here?"
Dong Xuebin's eyes kept staring at the rostrum, "Let's not talk about this, what are you shooting now?"
Qu Yunxuan said: "It's a piece of material, the window is open, it looks like an ice seed from the outside, but the inside is not quite sure, and the size of the jadeite is not known."
"Is it the last piece?"
"It should be, it's time to dissolve the stone when this is over."
Dong Xuebin was relieved and caught up, finally caught up
After a brief interruption, the auctioneer on the podium continued to start the auction, "6.8 million on the 22nd... 6.8 million... Is there anyone who has bid higher... oh... 7 million ...No. 5 bid 7 million ... Is this the end ... 7 million ... 7 million once ..." The last person to raise the placard was Feng Yi, who was sitting in front, and the corner of his mouth was full of impatience. The must-have smile seems to be very optimistic about this piece of wool.
Teacher Wei frowned, "Is it too tall?"
Qu Yunxuan said, "But it's not surprising that there are more bids for this kind of clear material, see how much you like it."
Ming material is the material that opens the window, so that you can see the jade inside. It is much less gambling than other wool materials, and the price is naturally very high, but the risk is still very high when you see it. For example, you can see ice on the outside. The material planted may be just a thin layer of emerald with nothing in it, or the emerald inside may not maintain the quality of ice seeds, and it may become stained with impurities.
"Seven Million Twice"
Dong Xuebin turned his head, "Aunt Xuan, how much money can we move?"
Qu Yunxuan hesitated, "We have to keep 2 million for publicity and other aspects, and the rest is about 10 million. You are..."
Dong Xuebin firmly said: "This material is very good, give me the auction card."
Qu Yunxuan blinked, "How good?"
"The glass is so good, it must be bought"
Mr. Wei can't believe it. Didn't you come here for less than a minute, and you said that the wool is very good without looking carefully? He has always had doubts about Dong Xuebin being a master of stone gambling. People who really play stone gambling have to take a flashlight just now to take a look. Cui still can't see it clearly, should I buy it? too easy
"Glass seed?" Qu Yunxuan pondered, "Are you sure?"
Dong Xuebin said: "I'm very sure, even if we get 10 million... we have to buy it too"
Teacher Wei said anxiously, "Mr. Qu can't."
The little Tao'er in the back was also a little frightened when she heard it, ten million?
Qu Yunxuan took a breath. Although the auction house could spend 10 million yuan, it would definitely be an unwise choice to spend all of it on this piece of wool. If it breaks down, what kind of low-to-medium grade will come out of it? , that 10 million will be lost, and the entire Yunde auction company will be completely finished. Yes, there will not even be a chance to turn over. It must be the end of bankruptcy. Feng Yi dares to spend 7 million to play like this. , that's because Jiaxin Auction has money, hundreds of millions of funds obviously won't break the capital chain because of this money, but Yunde Auction is still a small company, 10 million is almost all the assets, and every move is wrong. lose
Mr. Wei advised: "Mr. Qu can produce at most one piece of ice jadeite for this material. Now seven million is enough." Every expert has his own identification method. Anyway, he can't see that the wool can have glass seeds. momentum.
Dong Xuebin looked at Aunt Xuan.
Qu Yunxuan sighed and smiled bitterly: "I don't care, now, I'll leave it to you." She gave the auction card to Dong Xuebin.
Mr. Wei slapped his forehead and felt that he was not far from unemployment.
Dong Xuebin didn't have time to explain anything, because the auctioneer had already called 7 million for the third time, and the hammer was also raised in the air.
Dong Xuebin raised his placard and shouted: "7.5 million"
The auctioneer was about to drop the hammer with force, but he couldn't help but slammed down the hammer.
Feng Yi in front frowned and looked back at Dong Xuebin and Qu Yunxuan. Then, before the auctioneer could repeat the price, Feng Yi raised his placard and said, "7.8 million"
Dong Xuebin said without a word, "eight million"
Feng Yi finally hesitated for a moment and said cruelly, "...8.5 million"
Dong Xuebin raised his placard expressionlessly, "...8.8 million"
Several experts who followed Feng Yilai were very fond of the wool material. As long as the green energy in it was heavy enough, it would basically make a steady profit without losing any money. But at this price, it is a bit unreasonable. , the cost may not be recovered, so a little old man next to him gave Feng Yi a wink, and another stone gambler shook his head slightly at Feng Yi, signaling him not to follow.
Feng Yi hammered his forehead, and the duck he got in his hand flew away, feeling a little unwilling.
"Eight and eight million... 8,800,000 on the 18th... Are there any bidders..."
Feng Yi frowned, raised his placard again and said, "Nine million", thinking that it should be mine this time, right?
But who knows, under everyone's astonished eyes, Dong Xuebin increased the price again, "... 9.2 million"
Teacher Wei didn't know what to say anymore. Qu Yunxuan sat there without saying a word, and handed over all the decision-making power to Dong Xuebin. Xiao Taoer also felt that the company's survival seemed to be at this moment, and there was a flash of anxiety and peace in her eyes. Nervous, that's almost all their company's money
Feng Yi's expression changed slightly, but after thinking about it, he smiled again. He can't live by his own sin. How dare a small auction house with ten million assets spend so much money to bet on a piece of wool? Isn't this life-threatening? Feng Yi is waiting to see the joke of Yunde Auction Company. This sale will be lost, and the company will not have to do it by itself.
"9.2 million once... 9.2 million twice..."
Finally, the auctioneer dropped his hammer heavily, "9.2 million sold"
Dong Xuebin smiled and nodded relievedly to Aunt Xuan, signaling her to be at ease.
Counting commissions and other expenses, Dong Xuebin and the others must pay over ten million
It's really a success or failure here.
