Chapter 159:118, making tens of millions! Lin Mo creates another legend!_6
“The starting bid: 2.8 million yuan!”
No sooner had her words fallen than someone immediately raised the bid, “3 million.”
Another person followed with a call, “3.2 million!”
“33 million!”
“3-5 million!”
“38 million!”
The peak of the first round of bidding gradually passed, and the price settled at 3-8 million.
This was actually the highest price everyone had anticipated in their hearts.
If the bids went any higher, then the probability of losing money would exceed 50%.
Most of them were business owners or experts in the gambling stone industry; they were not so easily impulsive.
Everything was based on steadily making money, not being irrational gamblers.
Xiaoya leaned forward slightly as a sign of respect and said coyly, “Bidder number 77 bids 3.8 million, is there anyone who would like to offer a higher price?”
Whispers arose from the audience.
The auctioneer was not in a hurry to urge them, knowing that now was the time for discussion.
3.8 million…
This price had actually exceeded Xiang Feiwen’s expectation.
He had originally planned to get his hands on this jadeite raw stone for the price of 3.2 million, but an extra 600,000 in cost could very well be the difference between profit and loss.
But when he saw the leisurely Lin Mo and Zhang Yihua not far away, a nameless rage surged up in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and raised his sign, “4 million!”
It’s just that someone made a little money during the day, right?
Today I’m going to let you understand that the money earned by luck is nothing but dumb luck.
“Wow, I didn’t expect our classmate Xiang to be so rich!” Zhang Yihua glanced at Xiang Feiwen behind him, secretly surprised, “A bid of 4 million right off the bat, immediately dominating the scene!”
This is another character who can be mocked for his misfortune but not for his lack of skill.
Io be able to casually shell out several million in his thirties is no small feat!
At least Zhang Yihua felt inferior.
Lin Mo smiled and did not speak, nor did he turn his head to look at Xiang Feiwen, just quietly waiting for the right moment.
After a while, no one in the venue called out a new price.
Auctioneer Xiaoya also knew that the auction house’s appraisers had estimated the value of this jadeite raw stone at about 4 million yuan, and waiting any longer wouldn’t make much sense.
She bowed slightly towards Xiang Feiwen’s direction, then said coyly, “Bidder number 48, Boss Xiang, bids 4 million, does anyone wish to increase the bid?”
The scene remained quiet.
“4 million yuan for the first time!”
The auctioneer didn’t dawdle, started the countdown, preparing to end the auction for the day.
“4 million yuan for the second time!”
Xiang Feiwen’s lips curled up slightly in a smug smile.
The feeling of dominating the scene made up for all the frustrations he had experienced that day.
The only disappointment was that Lin Mo, sitting not far in front of him, still had that carefree demeanor, without even glancing at him the whole time.
“Humph.”
“I’ll let you see what real discernment is!”
Xiang Feiwen’s mind was filled with what kind of magnificent treasure he might cut from the jadeite raw stone later.
“4 million yuan for the third….”
However, just as Xiaoya was about to bring down the hammer, a calm voice rose in the venue.
“5 million!”
Lin Mo slowly raised his hand.
What?!
The sudden bid took all the distinguished guests aback; their gazes involuntarily turned in the direction of the voice.
When they saw that Lin Mo, who had picked up a bargain of 15 million that morning at the calligraphy and painting market, was bidding, many had complex looks in their eyes, and murmurs arose again.
“Who is this guy?”
“You don’t know him? The one who got the ‘Yellow Sparrow Painting’ this morning at Jixiang House for 15 million, selling it to the Kong family!”
“That’s him? Doesn’t seem anything special.”
“What’s happening? Could it be that this stone also hides a mystery?”
It’s possible! If this guy isn’t just lucky, then his insight is certainly off the charts!”
Ha ha, I admit he’s lucky, but the jadeite raw stones released by the four big families, do you think they’ve never been scanned? Yes, even the most advanced scanners available today can’t make out the specifics inside a stone, but at the very least, they can give a rough estimate. The four families will only let you make a small profit; they will never be the ones to lose! If the stone had room for profit, do you think they would release it? And the starting bid was only 2.8 million.”
“Right, buying this jadeite raw stone for 5 million, this guy must have water in his head, at least a loss of 150 or more!”
Ha ha, the guy’s just caught up in his own success, not realizing that one is most likely to trip up when feeling on top of the world.”
“Exactly, that’s it, in young people’s words, it’s called ‘you can’t make money off what you don’t know’ and even if you make some money by luck, you’ll soon give it back.”
“Really, a fool with too much money, lucky and doesn’t know when to quit while he’s ahead.”
Meanwhile, even the auctioneer Xiaoya on stage hadn’t expected this piece of jadeite raw stone to sell for such a high price.
However, the higher the selling price, the more commission she made.
She looked towards the direction of the voice and excitedly said, “Bidder number 58 bids 5 million, is there anyone else who wishes to increase the bid?”
5 million?
Dammit!
Watching the jadeite raw stone that was almost in his grasp getting snatched away by Lin Mo’s bid, Xiang Feiwen, who had been holding in his frustrations all day, simply couldn’t restrain himself any longer and, not caring about decorum, stood up in anger, shouting at Lin Mo, “Lin, what the hell do you mean, not bidding when others do, but the moment I bid you have to compete!” “Are you doing this on purpose, just to go against me?”
On purpose?
That was indeed Xiang Feiwen overthinking it,
Lin Mo knew the final price of this jadeite raw stone.
It wasn’t just Xiang Feiwen; even if Zhang Yihua competed with him, he wouldn’t let go.
There are many opportunities to make money, but only by seizing each one can you make even more!
