Chapter 309 So you guys were all in cahoots!
Can you not be confident?
Tian Zhenzhen possesses X-ray vision, and it's an upgraded version at that.
It will no longer cause eye discomfort due to usage time limitations.
Furthermore, with spiritual power, selecting jade at a public auction is like picking fresh cabbages in your own garden—it's all so easy to see.
The two chatted for a while, and soon it was time to board the plane.
This time I'll need to transfer flights to reach my destination, which should take about four hours if all goes smoothly.
The two ate something before boarding, and arrived at their destination smoothly four hours later.
The destination this time is Naypyidaw in Myanmar. This auction is the world's largest jadeite trade and a bellwether for the global jadeite market.
The event will last for seven days. There will be no bidding for the first three days; the main purpose is to browse the raw jadeite stones and determine the bidding targets and prices.
These three days are particularly important, and many jade merchants will choose experienced appraisers to help them select raw jade materials.
These appraisers are well paid, and a good appraiser can help a brand reap huge profits.
Of course, if one lacks discernment or makes a mistake, and the selected raw material differs greatly from the purchase price, it can also damage a brand's business.
Therefore, both the appraiser's discerning eye and their character are equally important.
After the plane landed, I checked into a local hotel.
Perhaps because public auctions are held here year-round, the nearby hotels have excellent facilities.
With money, you can enjoy all the best services.
Tian Zhenzhen and her group checked in smoothly and even sampled the local cuisine, which, to be honest, was quite delicious.
Back in her room, Tian Zhenzhen lay down and took out her phone to start playing games.
Previously, Tian Zhenzhen downloaded a Tencent online game out of boredom. The game had a beautiful art style and was highly playable. In just a few days, Tian Zhenzhen had already spent a lot of money on the game.
And so, they even created a gang, and were having a great time playing around with it.
Xu Tianlan came to see her and talked about tomorrow's arrangements. Tian Zhenzhen just nodded and became a net-addicted girl.
The next day, when we arrived at the venue, it felt like entering an emerald palace.
The venue is large and bright, with lights from the ceiling cascading down like a galaxy, illuminating every corner in detail.
Rows of neat display stands extend in an orderly fashion, displaying jadeite rough stones of various shapes.
They lie here quietly, as if waiting for their destined owner to recognize their value.
Inside the venue, although it was only the first day of the auction, it was already packed with people.
People from different countries and of different skin colors, speaking various languages.
They whispered among themselves, carefully examining the rough jade stones they had their eyes on.
Holding various tools, they carefully examined the items, marking any that caught their eye with a number.
After seeing the bidding price, they decide what price to bid.
The auction is divided into two forms: one is a sealed bid, in which information is filled in on the bidding form and then put into the bidding box, and neither party knows the other's price. The highest bidder wins.
These sealed bids account for four-fifths of the jadeite rough stones at the public auction; the rest are open bids.
In the trading hall, after rounds of bidding, the highest bidder won the bid.
The appraiser brought by Xu Tianlan was a middle-aged man in his fifties. When Tian Zhenzhen took over Baoruitang, this Master Zhou had already worked there for decades.
He was the one who inspected the raw jade stones along the way.
Tian Zhenzhen also had the intention of testing the school, and she did not offer any suggestions before Master Zhou was still studying it.
Although Tian Zhenzhen didn't say anything, her X-ray vision hadn't been idle all morning; she would note down the numbers and prices of any good rough stones she encountered.
Because she knows the inside of the jade, she is more confident when giving a price and doesn't hesitate like many others.
After all, these rough stones are not cheap; the cheapest ones cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Just as Tian Zhenzhen and the others were examining the raw stones, a sudden voice rang out.
"It's you guys, what a small world!"
The one who spoke was none other than Wu Mingxing, who had just been reprimanded by Tian Zhenzhen yesterday.
He was in a very sorry state, with bruises all over his face.
It's clear that yesterday's injury was quite serious.
As for why he was able to get out, it was because of Yu Zhiyuan's connection; he found a scapegoat.
He first saw Tian Zhenzhen, and then he saw Xu Tianlan standing next to Tian Zhenzhen, as if he had suddenly realized something.
"So you're all in cahoots. No wonder you dared to offend me yesterday."
"You Baoruitang have quite the nerve, daring to oppose Yuzhiyuan. It seems the lesson we taught you before wasn't enough."
If Tian Zhenzhen and her group weren't in the jade industry, Wu Mingxing wouldn't have been able to deal with them so easily.
But now that we know Tian Zhenzhen and Xu Tianlan are in cahoots, isn't it easy to deal with them?
If they were to randomly set a trap and get them to spend a lot of money to bid on a rough stone that would eventually fail, Bao Ruitang would likely lose a large sum of money.
In particular, the domestic raw stone channels have been blocked by orders from Yu Zhi Yuan.
At this point, we're not afraid they won't fall into our trap.
If they suffer huge losses at the public auction and have no raw stones to sell when they return, they will have no choice but to go bankrupt.
This is what happens when you go against him.
"So it was you, Wu Mingxing, you mad dog. What? The Feng family failed to keep you on a leash, letting you bark wildly."
Xu Tianlan had dealt with Wu Mingxing several times and looked down on him. He was a very lecherous man and a very treacherous person.
The Feng family is the owner behind Yu Zhi Yuan.
"You actually dared to call me a dog. It seems you won't learn your lesson until you see the coffin. You'll have your day to cry."
Knowing the other party's strength, Wu Mingxing didn't argue anymore; they would have their turn to cry later.
After uttering a harsh remark, Wu Mingxing returned to Feng Sanshao's side.
Feng Sanshao is very young; he is the child of Chairman Feng's second wife.
He has two older brothers, both sons of Chairman Feng's ex-wife.
His two older brothers are both ten years older than him.
After graduating, Feng San Shao joined the company. Although he was the youngest son, he was very much loved by Director Feng.
However, once he gets to the company, he still needs to produce results. In such a large company, his abilities will be judged.
It was around this time that Baoruitang's new jewelry collection became a huge success.
In an attempt to curry favor with Young Master Feng, Wu Mingxing directly plagiarized the work.
Because of this incident, Yu Zhi Yuan's financial statements showed a significant increase, and Feng San Shao was highly regarded by Director Feng.
Although plagiarism occurred, it did not affect Yu Zhi Yuan at all.
Furthermore, with a little encouragement from his wife, Director Feng entrusted the task of purchasing raw stones to Third Young Master Feng.
There were four appraisers from Yuzhiyuan this time.
Three of them are top-tier experts at Yuzhiyuan, all veteran craftsmen with many years of experience. They have rarely made mistakes in their assessments over the years.
It can be said that with them, Yu Zhi Yuan will not fall.
Of course, the other one is Yan Caixin. To be honest, given her qualifications, she shouldn't have been chosen for this public auction.
But she still got on the list.
As soon as Wu Mingxing arrived, he told him about his encounter with Xu Tianlan and the others.
"Third Young Master, it turns out that it was Xu Tianlan and her gang who injured me yesterday. They were deliberately seeking revenge."
They were incredibly arrogant when they saw me, showing absolutely no respect for you, Third Young Master.
Upon hearing Wu Mingxing's words, Feng Sanshao was indeed somewhat angry.
