Chapter 217: Everyone Was Amazed (16)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the end, the three-colored jade was sold to an unremarkable man for 8.6 million.
Immediately, the reporters had to re-evaluate the value of Paradise.
They could understand if someone like Elder Yuan and Tang Feng bid on the expensive jade. After all, if Paradise had connections, it was normal for big shots to come and support them.
But now, an ordinary man could bid nearly 9 million. It shocked them once again!
Also, if they did not hear wrongly and saw wrongly, many people present had participated in the auction. What did this mean?
It meant that other than those big shots, the others were not ordinary people because no ordinary person could buy jade for millions!
At that moment, they understood a little. Gu Qingchen of Paradise not only had connections with the top big shots, but she also had many customers such as middle-class wealthy businessmen.
This Gu Qingchen… who exactly was she? How could she have so many connections!
What was the most important thing in business?
Talent?
No!
Connections!
Gu Qingchen had such connections at such a young age. Just thinking about it sent chills down their spine!
What would she become when she grew up? No one dared to imagine!
“Now, let’s look at the second jade.” Ding Hao lifted the red cloth on the second jade display cabinet, giving everyone a shock.
They saw a child-sized jade. It was transparent green, and it looked extremely moist and natural!
“This is the old pit imperial green glass jade!” Elder Yuan was the first to exclaim. When he saw the three-colored jade just now, he was not so surprised.
Elder Yuan had seen old pit imperial green glass jade before, but he had never seen one the size of a child!
Old pit imperial green glass jade was extremely rare. It might not appear after hundreds of thousands of raw stones.
This piece of jade was unusually large, and it did not have any impurities. It was as smooth and moist as a freshly peeled egg. Its green color was extremely attractive!
Under the bright light, this jade was translucent. Its texture was exquisite and flawless. The uniform emerald green color showed the status of this jade.
One had to know that one ring surface of the old pit imperial green glass jade could cost hundreds of thousands.
There was one tiny piece of old pit imperial green glass jade sold for 19 million. It was only used to make a ring surface. However, Gu Qingchen had an old pit imperial green glass jade that was as big as a one-year-old child.
The value of this jade was hard to estimate.
When Elder Yuan saw such a big piece of old pit imperial green glass jade, he couldn’t help but be excited.
When Tang Feng saw it, he was also surprised. However, he was a very strange person. He only liked to collect those strange jade. Therefore, he liked this piece of old pit imperial green glass jade very much, but he did not want to buy it.
On the other side, Master Deng was also surprised. It was also his first time seeing such a big piece of old pit imperial green glass jade. Subconsciously, Master Deng looked at Gu Qingchen.
Previously, he only knew that Gu Qingchen’s intelligence was not inferior to Rong Yu’s. Now, it seemed that this her ability was not inferior to Rong Yu’s.
She not only had amazing medical skills, but she also had such a high-quality jade. Although this girl only opened a small jade shop, she had two pieces of rare and exquisite jade. It was obvious she had a strong financial base.
“I’ve never seen such a big old pit imperial green glass jade. Today is really an eye-opener. First, it was a three-colored jade. Then, an imperial green glass jade shows up! My little heart can’t take it anymore.”
“How much would it cost to buy this old pit imperial green glass jade? I know we definitely won’t have a chance.”
“At least we still can see it. We didn’t live in vain!”
“I guess Paradise’s reputation in the jade circle will rise once this Imperial Green is sold today! If Paradise’s boss maintains her good taste and keeps selling good jade in the future, Paradise’s reputation will definitely soar to the sky!”
“Hehe, you’re an amateur, right? Let me tell you, the boss of Paradise is that little girl called Gu Qingchen. She obtained dozens of jades at the jade convention back then. Although not all of them were top-grade jades, they were still great items! Paradise will definitely not lack good jades!”
The crowd could not keep their cool before the second auction began. The voices of discussion almost drowned out Ding Hao’s voice. Ding Hao had not expected this situation. He could only suspend the auction and let everyone discuss it for a while before continuing.
Many reporters did not know much about jade, so they chatted with those who were bidding. Those people were not stingy and told them a lot. Only then did the reporters truly know how awesome this old pit imperial green glass jade was!
After a while, everyone started to lower their voices, so Ding Hao continued, “I think everyone knows about this old pit imperial green glass jade without any further explanation. Then, let’s begin the auction for this jade. There is no reserve price for this jade. The one with the highest price will get it!”
There was no base price because the price of this jade was difficult to estimate. At the same time, it also meant that the price of this jade would be very high.
After Ding Hao’s voice fell, there was a moment of silence. It was not that no one wanted to buy it, but everyone was thinking about what price they should give to get the jade.
“500 million.” The first one to bid was Elder Yuan!
When Elder Yuan saw this imperial green, he secretly told himself that he must bid for it.
500 million was considered a relatively conservative price. The price of this jade would probably be many times higher after a few years.
“550 million.” Tang Feng spoke. After calling out the price, Tang Feng even winked at Gu Qingchen and whispered in Gu Qingchen’s ear, “Little Qingchen, how can you thank me? I’m trying to help you raise the price.”
Gu Qingchen could tell that Tang Feng did not have any intention of buying. He was only bidding to warm up the crowd.
He wanted to coax Gu Qingchen, but he was targeted by Elder Yuan.
Elder Yuan saw that Tang Feng was fighting with him. He glared at Tang Feng and said in a low voice, “Son, if you dare to fight with me, I’ll make Rong Yu teach you a lesson!”
Tang Feng immediately put on a stiff smile and smiled at Elder Yuan a few times before waving his hand, “Don’t, don’t. Please leave me a way out. I won’t fight with you anymore. I just want to spice the thing up for fun.”
