Reborn cannon fodder ex-wife, the chief is a henpecked husband
Chapter 190 Can I be the younger brother?
Just as he was about to show Shi Yanning the way, unexpectedly, Tang Yuqing also took out a passbook and handed it to the manager who was walking in.
??? Does this assistant also need capital verification? Forget it, this is brought by a VIP.
I took the passbook and looked at it. "Five million???"
He then politely took out the gift card and didn't dare to look at it casually anymore.
I just kept thinking to myself: Can I be the younger brother?
The auction was overall grand and magnificent, with glass display cases everywhere and an employee in uniform standing in front of each display case.
Shi Yanning had outstanding looks and was brought in by the auction house manager. As soon as he entered the venue, he attracted many people's attention.
"How come I've never heard of such a young and beautiful woman? Is she another daughter of some wealthy family?"
"The manager of this auction house brought it in. It's not simple."
Shi Yanning's temperament was so outstanding that no one thought of her as a kept female companion.
Shi Yanning strolled around the venue leisurely. Ye Zheng and Jin Ling'er were with him. Li Yalin said he wanted to wait for his partners, so Shi Yanning entered the venue alone.
After entering the venue, she felt a little tired. There were more than a thousand pieces of jade displayed there, and each piece was marked with a number on the booth.
From large to small, there are so many pieces, how long will it take for the two of them to finish looking at them?
Each piece of stone is marked with the price, factory address and source.
Shi Yanning took a rough look at some stones and felt dazzled. He turned around to watch others cutting, polishing and carving stones on the spot.
This service is really comprehensive.
The entire venue has two floors. The upstairs floor is probably a private room, and it is guarded by someone, so people of ordinary status cannot go up there.
Shi Yanning looked around and finally decided to gamble on stones.
Standing aside and watching the people inside selecting and talking, some of the large pieces of stone that looked extremely good were cut open, and a small piece of jade could be seen inside.
Some people are speculating based on the small part exposed outside. This is an obvious gamble, because it has been shown that this rough material must contain jade, so the price is much higher than usual.
But how much jade is inside is a skill or a matter of luck.
There may also be only a small layer of jade on the surface, commonly known as "green on the skin". Or there may be cracks inside, which ruins the value of the entire piece of jade, or some of the texture is uneven and needs to be cared for.
In this case, it is very likely that you will not get your money back.
Everyone was very excited. Those who could come to the auction were not short of money, so everyone took turns selecting stones and cutting them, treating it as a game.
Shi Yanning didn't bring any tools, and in the eyes of others she was just a rich girl who was curious about seeing the world.
Tang Yuqing had everything she needed, including a flashlight, a magnifying glass, a towel, etc. She followed Shi Yanning half a step behind her, like a follower, which further confirmed Shi Yanning's image as an unlearned, brainless rich girl.
The two of them acted separately, and when they found something suitable, they wrote down a number and an approximate value on a piece of paper.
Shi Yanning only knew the value in later generations, so he planned to divide the value by twenty before writing it down.
Shi Yanning went straight to the large raw material. After all, his jade pendant had to generate heat. If it was too small, it probably wouldn't react much.
This one weighs 200 jin, this one weighs 500 jin, this one weighs 300 jin, they are too small~
Yohoho~ One thousand pounds? ! ! !
This is good! Number three.
Could this be even bigger?
Shi Yanning glanced at the surface of the stone. Orange-yellow? The surface of Ling'er's piece yesterday was dark red. It was a red jadeite.
This piece is so big, and the texture and lines seem to be top-notch. It should be very likely to produce the tri-color jadeite of Fu, Lu and Shou!
There are seven or eight people surrounding this piece of rough stone, examining it carefully with magnifying glasses. The stones that can be included in the auction have been selected many times.
The probability of shipment has greatly increased, but everyone is still estimating how much it is worth.
A gray-haired man glanced at Shi Yanning, looked at her beautiful and fashionable clothes with disdain, and then saw that Shi Yanning was only in her teens.
"You little brat, why are you imitating an adult to gamble on stones? Where are your parents? Why are you here making a fuss? This is not a game!"
Shi Yanning glanced at the man's gray beard and hair, "Respect the old and love the young" I didn't say, so he ignored it.
I gently touched the stone with my fingers, but the jade on my chest didn't react at all. The warm jade that I had just felt suddenly lost its temperature.
August sky, child’s face.
It's a piece of junk!
"What are you doing? Making trouble? You're just touching the stones like this, without any tools. If you don't want to see, then don't stand here and block everyone's light."
Some people are already somewhat dissatisfied.
Shi Yanning knew that this piece of stone was just a piece of waste that looked shiny on the surface but was useless. He shook his head regretfully and left.
The two people who had just spoken and the people who were observing around the stone noticed Shi Yanning's shaking head and thought it was just the confusing behavior of a child during his growth period.
Shi Yanning was a little disappointed and continued to look at stone No. 2, which was even bigger than the previous one.
The quality was good. Shi Yanning did not touch it directly this time. Instead, he waited until there were fewer people around and took the time to touch it. This time the jade pendant felt a little warm, but only for a moment.
After several experiments, Shi Yanning roughly figured out the tricks of the jade pendant.
If it's cold, it means there's nothing. If you warm it up a bit, there is something but it's not good. If you warm it up a few times, it means it's good.
The piece of jade worth eight million that Shi Yanning opened made me feel warm several times.
Shi Yanning looked at the price tag again, seven hundred thousand, shook his head and left.
It's just for warmth, and it's only worth about 500,000.
If you are lucky, you can get your money back.
Finally we came to number one, which was a piece of black fur weighing nearly one ton, shiny black and round, with a price tag of two million!
This price is enough to discourage many people. After all, few people can afford the possibility of two million going to waste.
The stone was not scraped out of the window, which was tantamount to a hidden gamble. It was the first time that Shi Yanning had seen such a large stone after all his long wanderings.
Because of its huge size, there were more people surrounding it than the previous pieces of stone, but it gave Shi Yanning enough space to perform.
Shi Yanning first pretended to look at the stone, and then pretended to touch it. It was cold at first, so Shi Yanning touched it like the others did.
Suddenly, my chest began to feel hot, and it wasn't just in waves, but the heat was constantly emitting.
Shi Yanning didn't seem to feel the coldness on his hands. Instead, he felt a warmth as if he was wrapped in hot spring water.
Before, the jade pendant would emit a cool feeling unhappily, or it would flicker once or twice as if to dismiss it, but this time it was extremely excited. Feeling the movement on her chest, Shi Yanning was almost excited to tears.
Such a big piece!
