Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

There was a middle-aged woman in front who immediately followed and held up a sign: "Forty-five thousand!"

The prices of the stones on the auction table have almost skyrocketed. It's not that the rough stones cannot be sold at this price, but for a rough stone of this size, it is already far higher than the price.

Jiang Yan glanced at Chen Li for help, and Chen Li also frowned.

But she knew what Jiang Yan was looking for and nodded.

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and increased the price to [-].

There is no turning back now. Everyone is betting that this is a high-quality ice stone. If the quality is slightly worse, the person who took the picture will lose everything.

The auctioneer raised his hammer again: "Some people have already paid forty-seven thousand, is there anyone higher?"

There was an uproar in the venue. In general auctions, things get more expensive toward the back, but I didn’t expect that the opening ceremony here would be a big one.

It is difficult to estimate how expensive the stones behind them will be.

However, after all, it is the world of rich people.

It was the middle-aged woman who had previously offered the price of [-] yuan. Her accent did not sound like a local. Her Mandarin was a bit effeminate, and she looked very much like a resident from the island city.

"Are you crazy?" Yang Jianlong shook his head when he saw them bidding like this.

I used to think that I was spending money lavishly, but it seemed that I was being conservative, and gambling on stones was really a big investment.

Lin Ran smiled and said, "Outlanders are rich."

"Godfather, what you said is wrong. Apart from Yunhai City, which city's people dare to say that they are richer than the people in the capital?" Yang Jianlong didn't understand.

Lin Ran just shook his head and did not explain.

The auctioneer asked twice if anyone wanted to increase the price, and the audience was in an uproar. He also raised his hammer, preparing to announce the deal.

Just before the hammer was about to fall on the table, Jiang Yan raised his hand again and shouted: "Fifty thousand to one."

He didn't dare to increase the price lavishly, but he was reluctant to give up the rough stones he was interested in.

The people participating in the auction were all big bosses, but with this number, it felt like most people had no idea of ​​participating. The opening price was [-]. Wouldn’t the quality of the rough stones later be better.

Besides, buying two rough stones the size of footballs at this price is definitely a sky-high price.

Most people chose to retreat. The auctioneer nodded and looked around at everyone present.

Seeing that no one continued to bid, he raised his hammer and announced the deal.

Jiang Yan finally won the original stone for [-] yuan. Although the price was high, he still had a proud look on his face.

This time he showed his financial strength in front of Ke Yu, and he would still make a fuss about this auction after he returned.

Everyone in the capital must know that Jiang's jewelry uses the most precious jade in the country.

This expense is considered as marketing.

The jadeite rough auction is different from other auctions. You don’t need to wait until the auction ends to collect the items.

After the transaction was completed, a man pushing a cart came to the stone, put the stone on the cart, and asked: "Sir, do you need to unblock the stone now?"

"Wait a minute." Jiang Yan replied.

The staff member who speculated was a little surprised. This transaction price was already very high in his mind. Normally, he would have to exit the market after buying one piece.

From what he meant, it seemed like he would have to watch for a while longer.

However, based on the principle that the customer is God, since he wants to keep it, the staff will naturally not talk too much.

Instead, he placed the cart next to him and motioned for him to pay and the items could be taken away.

The second round of auctions began. This rough stone was obviously not as popular as the previous one. Not many people participated in the auction, and the price was also reduced.

But at this moment, Lin Ran noticed that Chen Li and Ke Yu glanced at him.

Until the end of the auction, Jiang Yan finally bought two more rough stones. It was really a big deal. These three stones cost [-] yuan. Even for a jewelry store, this was a large cash flow.

If he loses money, I'm afraid he will have to cover it himself, otherwise the store will definitely not be able to bear such losses.

When Jiang Yan went to check out, Chen Li and Ke Yu came to Lin Ran.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Lin Ran looked at the two of them inexplicably.

Chen Li said: "Xiao Lin, I accepted your suggestion and bought the stone. Do you mind?"

Lin Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

That stone was indeed his favorite, but when he introduced it to Chen Li, he already expressed his willingness to transfer it to her.

In the business world, the one with the highest price wins, and yet Lin Ran felt so polite to him.

After Jiang Yan settled the bill, a staff member followed behind him. In the cart behind him, there were three rough stones that were photographed earlier.

Seeing Lin Ran and Ke Yu standing together, he felt angry in his heart.

However, it doesn't matter now.

Look at this guy surnamed Lin who didn't buy anything when he entered the auction. He is just a poor man.

Originally, Jiang Yan found it a bit incredible when he saw that he could record the auction venue.

But now I see him coming out empty-handed, and I feel even more contempt in my heart. There are 60 yuan of stones in the auction, but I don’t like any of them. Are you here to buy stones?I

This made Jiang Yan look down on Lin Ran even more.

Chen Li said: "Jiang Yan, why don't you go and unblock the stone first? I have something else to do here."

"Auntie, this stone belongs to you too. Let's go together." Jiang Yan didn't understand what was going on with Chen Li.

But seeing Chen Li's expression, he guessed that Chen Li should buy the stone that Lin Ran introduced earlier.

An hour had passed, and the stone was still placed in its place, safe and sound. Except for Chen Li and Lin Ran's quotation, no one else was interested at all.

After comparing it with the rough stones in the auction, Chen Li, an outsider, could see some clues.

Unlike the woolen material with the window already opened, this rough stone looked very rough, and there was no sign of jade inside it on the surface.

But she had an indescribable feeling that Lin Ran was right.

"Auntie, don't worry." Lin Ran said, "This stone is definitely cost-effective. You can vaguely see the green head. If the price is green, you will definitely not lose money."

Jiang Yan was unhappy when he heard this.

"What do you, a layman, know?" Jiang Yan snorted coldly.

People like them from the jewelry store come to the stone quarry for only one purpose, which is to make money.

Unlike gamblers who gamble on stones, their goal of making money is high-quality jade.

How much money can be made purely by betting on stones? That is to say, ordinary citizens will look at the petty profits. If they get high-quality jade and process it into various jewelry, the money they can earn cannot be compared with betting on stones. , after all, the jadeite purchased by the stone gambling den was eventually sold to a jewelry merchant.

In his words, Lin Ran's vision was low.
