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

"I went to Xiao Yong's place some time ago. He said that Zhang Zhenqiang works very hard and is very low-key and silent."

"Hey, he still has the same character." Zhang Fengyu sighed, "Brother Lin, if you can enlighten him more after you return to the capital, his character is a bit too withdrawn and it is difficult to mix in society."

"Haha." Lin Ran didn't expect that Zhang Fengyu would actually make this request to him, "Brother Zhang, in fact, everyone has his own personality. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, there is no problem with being introverted. So-called in society It's not easy to get along, that's for the poor, who don't need money."

What Lin Ran said was very realistic. After all, even Zhang Fengyu couldn't change Zhang Zhenqiang's character. He had only spoken less than ten sentences to Zhang Zhenqiang in the past two years. How could he possibly change him? It was better to let nature take its course.

In order to integrate into society, many people will wrong themselves and change a lot.

But that really can't change the environment, it can only change your own situation.

Zhang Zhenqiang is just the opposite. He doesn't need money, focuses on his career, and lives a much happier life than others. If he is forced to live in another way, he may not live as freely as he does now.

In a sense, Lin Ran still admires Zhang Zhenqiang. In this era, people who can live like themselves are really a drop in the bucket, with both strength and luck.

After hearing this, Zhang Fengyu seemed to understand something and stopped talking.

After they queued for a while, it was their turn.

Of course, their purpose was not identification, so they just took a quick glance and returned to their seats.

Fortunately, the observation time was tight, otherwise such a long queue would not have finished within an hour.

Now only 10 minutes have passed and the auction is ready to begin.

After the host saw everyone seated, he smiled and said, "Okay, it took me a while. No one has any objections to this rough stone now, right?"

He asked with a smile, but obviously no one answered.

"Then I now announce that the auction of No. 001 jadeite rough stone has officially begun, and the starting price is——"

He deliberately prolonged his tone, and then hit the table hard with the hammer.

"$25 million!"

If it were at other auctions, this price would definitely be affordable to most people.

What is the value of $25?Calculated based on the exchange rate of this era, it is 140 million!

Many small companies cannot reach this number in a year's profit. Here it is just the starting price.

But it also depends on the occasion. The people here are all top figures in the jewelry industry. They don't pay attention to the bottom price at all, because they know that the next bidding will be very cruel.

Although it was the first time to participate in a public auction, the subsequent auction process was no different from an ordinary auction.

Besides, he doesn't need to handle the bidding matters, his assistant Xiao Min will take care of everything.

The whole place is now talking about it.

But as the first customer starts to raise his bid, the auction officially begins to compete.

One person held up a sign and shouted: "28!"

"30 million!"

"35 million!"

"50 million!"

Originally, everyone had a tacit understanding of increasing the number from 2 to 50, but suddenly a figure came up that directly increased to [-], so as not to attract other people's attention.

Was this person here to cause trouble? But when they saw clearly who was shouting, some people were speechless.

Zhao Ying of Lite Group has a high-profile style.

The opening is to directly increase the price by an order of magnitude.

It’s like there is no concept of money at all. In fact, Zhao Ying’s idea is very simple. It is impossible to win the rough stone with this little money. He just speeds up the progress of the auction, and at the same time, he can tell other people that we The group has money, so if you have the ability, grab it.

Sure enough, after he raised the price, the originally enthusiastic competition scene in the venue became a lot more deserted, like a bucket of cold water poured on it.

Many people were waiting for the price, but at this time, Zhang Fengyu smiled and said a few words to Xiao Min.

Xiao Min immediately raised a sign: "80."

Hearing this number, the whole audience was a little stunned.

Just now, Zhao Ying only increased the land by 20, but now he has directly increased it by 30, which is even more generous than Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying looked back at Zhang Fengyu with great dissatisfaction. Xiao Min was just a puppet. He was glaring at Zhang Fengyu, the boss.

Zhang Fengyu didn't even look back, he just chatted with Lin Ran on his own.

But Zhao Ying understood that they were at odds with his own group.

If it was just a matter of money, he didn't think he would lose. This year's bidder was determined by them.

In fact, in addition to the two of them, there are other rich people who are also bidding at this time.

Just not as outrageous as they are.

"82."

"85."

"88."

These people are still relatively knowledgeable when bidding. If they are like the two rich people, it won't take long for this rough stone to reach a price that no one can afford. Some people come to the auction, but not necessarily just In order to get the subscript king.

They also need to accumulate some experience at auctions so that they can have some bragging rights when they return, so they will have a good grasp of the price and control the amount of the price within their expectations every time the price is reduced.

In fact, this is their real bidding strategy, which can give the highest price and stimulate the opponent's desire to bid.

Although there were a lot fewer participants, the shouting of prices never stopped.

The host on the stage looked at the audience with a smile. The expression on his face was very calm at that time, as if the price did not exceed his expectations.

Zhao Ying raised a sign here and shouted: "100 million!"

He started to act irrationally again and directly raised the price to over 100 million.

Calculated according to the current exchange rate, the price of raw jadeite has reached 600 million Chinese coins, which is close to the expected value of many people.

Not all the participants came here for the King of Biao. They wanted to buy rough jade stones, and their main purpose was to make money. Even if they got the price, the profit margin would not be big, unless they could be sure that it was the best jadeite. , otherwise, if you add more, you will lose all your money.

As the price approaches people's psychological expectations, the number of bidders also begins to decrease.

Zhao Ying was very proud. When the host saw that no one was bidding, he started counting energetically.

"One million once, 100 million twice, one million..."

The word deal was about to come out, but Xiao Min held up the sign: "120 million!"
