Chapter 170 Humanoid Red Jade
Zhang Jun looked in Xu Bo's direction in surprise, his expression very ugly. The latter looked smug, as if saying, "I'll follow as much as you pay, and this piece of material is mine!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Jun raised his card again.
"110 million euros! The latest offer is 110 million euros!" The host, who had been calm all along, became excited and said loudly, "The price of the first king has been raised to 110 million euros! Is there any more?" What about a higher price?"
Xu Bo sneered and raised his placard to bid 115 million.
Zhang Jun sighed, hesitated again and again, and bid three times to 120 million.
Xu Bo's heart skipped a beat, the total money in his hand was only 700 million, he didn't want to spend too much in the first game. After a little hesitation, he raised the price to 125 million.
Zhang Jun let out a long sigh, lowered his head very dejectedly, and stopped bidding.
Xu Bo was a little uneasy in his heart, it was 125 million! It is equivalent to one billion yuan, all bet on a piece of rough stone whose value is uncertain.
The host called three times in a row, and seeing no one was bidding, he decisively set the price with a hammer, saying: "Congratulations, Mr. Xu, for winning the first bid!"
Next, the next day when Wang held an auction, Zhang Jun went to the material and took a look. Under the perspective of the Buddha's eye, he saw that the condition inside this piece of material was worse than that of the last one.
Xu Bo was standing next to Zhang Jun. He looked at Zhang Jun sideways and didn't speak.
With a look of disgust on his face, Zhang Jun snorted heavily, turned around and walked back.
Wang's auction started the next day, this time Zhang Jun didn't bid, but the old Depp beside him happily raised his cards again and again.
Xu Bo was also calm. A young man next to him said in a low voice: "Young Master Xu, that old American man has a close relationship with Zhang Jun. I see them often meeting and talking and laughing."
Xu Bo sneered and said, "He must be worried that I would bid against him, so he asked someone else to buy it for him. Ha ha, how ridiculous!" So he resolutely joined the bidding again.
The starting price of this piece of material was 40 million euros, which was raised by the old Depp to 100 million euros, and then won by Xu Bo at a sky-high price of 105 million euros.
After taking down the second piece of material, Xu Bo's feeling of unreliability became stronger. At this time Xu Gaoyi said: "Xu Bo, do you really believe in your own judgment? Zhang Jun's eyesight is really that good?"
"It can't be wrong." Xu Bo said firmly, "Some time ago, I had someone investigate the matter of the Emerald City in Kyoto, and the person who did it was Zhang Jun. After the government auction, it was discovered that all the good materials in the warehouse had been taken by him. Bought it away, which shows that he has a very good eye for seeing things, even the old master can't match it."
At that time, Zhang Jun went to the Emerald City of Kyoto to scan the goods, but met a branch of the Xu family. The other party failed to plot against him, but Li Yunfei led his men to take him down, and was eventually sent to prison. This incident also alarmed the Xu family, and spent a lot of money but failed to get him out.
However, the Xu family also investigated the ins and outs of the matter, and knew that Zhang Jun did all of this. It was precisely because of this incident that Xu Bo was very sure that Zhang Jun had a very good ability to select jadeite materials.
Xu Gaoyi said: "Even if you are sure, you shouldn't spend too much. After all, betting on stones has high risks."
Xu Bo said: "Father, don't worry, I know it well."
Although he was very confident on the surface, when it came to the third auction, Xu Bo did not make a move after all. The uneasy feeling in his heart made him decide to observe again.
Zhang Jun once again became the focus of the auction, and he finally won the third king at a sky-high price of 120 million euros. The third heavenly king is the human-shaped red jadeite. After Zhang Jun's perspective, he found that the internal situation of it was consistent with the performance of the window, even one or two points better.
What interested him the most was that the whole piece of jade inside was like a human figure sitting on a grand master's chair. Even if he wasn't a sculptor, he felt that this large piece of red jade could be carved into a portrait.
As for what figure to carve, it has to be decided by the jade carving masters.
After the auction was successful, Zhang Jun suddenly said, "I've decided to resolve the stone on the spot!"
It turned out that after the jadeite was photographed, the buyer decided whether to interpret the stone on the spot. Most of the buyers are unwilling to do this, and even if they want to explain the stone, they will not do it on site.
The host's eyes lit up, and he said: "It seems that this Mr. Zhang is full of confidence. Okay, next, I will invite the super-class Jieshi Master from Myanmar to unravel the third king!"
Master Jie Shi is a man in his fifties with knotted muscles in his arms. He nodded to Zhang Jun, and then ordered his followers to bring machines to assist him in diagnosing stones.
He is worthy of being a top-level stone-resolving expert. Not only is his technique unique, but he also uses a unique machine, which Zhang Jun has never seen before. I saw that he asked several subordinates to polish several positions on the material at the same time.
A few minutes later, someone rubbed red. More and more people rubbed red one after another, which made everyone on the scene hold their breath and stare at the stone with wide eyes.
A large piece of stone skin was cut, and a large area of glass jadeite was exposed. The scene has already begun to become restless.
"It's gone up! It's gone up! Such a whole piece of human-shaped glass red jadeite! It's a priceless treasure!"
"In terms of color alone, the price of this piece of red jadeite is more than 150 million euros! In addition to its unique shape, the price can rise by more than 30%, to around 200 million euros!" A buyer who understands the market said with emotion.
Zhang Jun smiled and said to Old Depp: "You see, the speed at which I make money is not slower than yours, right?"
The old Depp smiled and said, "It's far away. At my peak, I made ten billion dollars in three days."
The corners of Zhang Jun's mouth twitched. As expected of a financial predator, making money is ruthless!
Xu Bo's face was terribly gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "I was too careful just now. I wish I could bid! This piece of red jade made him at least one billion yuan!"
Regrets are all regrets, he quickly adjusted his mentality and decided that in the next round, no matter what he said, Zhang Jun could not get the material.
When the whole piece of red jadeite was finally unraveled, the super-class stone-resolving master worshiped the human-shaped red jadeite three times devoutly, and still muttered words. This is the most incredible and expensive piece of emerald that he has unraveled in his life. This will be the most glorious day in his career and the most unforgettable moment!
After the touch, the auction continued.
Perhaps it was Zhang Jun's high betting that stimulated the buyers present, and the following rounds of bidding were extremely crazy. Among them, the fourth heavenly king was sold for 130 million euros; the fifth heavenly king was sold for 140 million euros; the sixth heavenly king was sold for 145 million euros; Ten thousand deals.
Zhang Jun didn't participate in these four rounds of auctions, and he didn't make another move until the next round of the Eighth Heavenly King's auction.
