Kings of Taiyan

"Then I'll ask Da Biao to loosen your muscles."

Today is Sunday, which happens to be the day when the auction house of the gambling stone market opens.

Chen Mu went directly to the fourth floor. There were several sturdy security guards guarding the entrance. After paying an entrance fee of 100,000 yuan, Chen Mu entered the auction hall.

This is a platform for the upper class to communicate, but also a gambling and a carnival.

The hall was crowded with people, and they were carefully identifying the raw stones on the exhibition stand, weighing the quality of the raw stones, so as to prepare for the quotation.

Chen Mu saw several familiar faces, Wang Gang and Chu Yun.

It turned out that Chu Yun was a frequent visitor here, but he had little gain. He heard that Master Wang was a well-known gambling stone master, so he spent a lot of money to invite him to help.

Wang Gang carefully checked several of the raw stones, and then whispered a few words to Chu Yun. Chu Yun nodded silently, looking confident.

At this time, Chu Yun saw Chen Mu coming and immediately walked forward.

He smiled and said, "So, brother Chen is also interested in gambling on stones. I wonder which one you've chosen."

Chen Mu disliked Chu Yun a little, and always felt that he was a bit sinister.

So he pointed to the rough stones that Master Wang had just checked, "I think those pieces should be good."

"Haha, great minds think alike, but it depends on whether you have the ability." Chu Yun said confidently.

"Well, I know myself well. In fact, I'm just trying my luck." Chen Mu spread his hands.

"Well, then let's see who has better luck. Let's wait and see!" After that, Chu Yun and his group left in style and went to the VIP seats.

Chen Mu found a seat in the front and sat down casually. He practiced the Changsheng Jue and carefully felt the richness of the spiritual energy contained in each rough stone.

After a while, a beautiful auctioneer came on stage. It was Li Xinyi.

Li Xinyi first exchanged a few words of greeting, then introduced the origin of this batch of rough stones in detail, then briefly explained the auction rules, and finally announced the official start of the auction.

It turns out that this batch of rough stones was mined from a private mine in Myanmar and is the best quality batch so far. After being mined from the mine, it was directly loaded and shipped back to China.

The auction rules are as follows: rough stones No. 1 to 10 with the best appearance quality will be auctioned together, and the highest bidder will win; the remaining rough stones are free to purchase.

The rough stones will be cut and processed after the sale is over.

"First, please bid No. 10, the starting price is 10 million, and the price will increase by 500,000 each time. I believe everyone has enough knowledge about it in advance, and I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically!" Li Xinyi said enthusiastically.

Twelve million! A bald man with a big belly raised a sign;

Thirteen million! A man in a suit raised a sign;

Fifteen million!

Eighteen million...

"Twenty-six million once, twenty-six million twice, twenty-six million three times! Deal, congratulations Mr. Xu!" Li Xinyi announced excitedly.

A middle-aged man excitedly arched his hands to everyone!

Most people understand that the best rough stone is definitely not theirs, so they can only settle for the second best, so everyone bids very actively.

Chu Yun shook his head after seeing the price. This was not the rough stone he wanted to bid for. He only wanted the best.

Chen Mu did not bid either. This was not the rough stone he wanted.

The 19th piece was sold for 35 million...

The fourth piece was sold for 95 million!

At this time, the third rough stone came on stage with a starting price of 80 million.

"81 million!" The man with a short haircut shouted. He didn't win the previous rough stones, so he made up his mind and went all out.

Isn't this the mechanical king, Boss Liang? Someone in the crowd recognized him.

"90 million!" A man in a suit held up a sign. It was the real estate tycoon Boss Xu. He bowed to the crowd and asked everyone to give him face. He threatened the other party with a head.

"Then I'll ask Da Biao to loosen your muscles." Chen Mu said coldly.

"Let's wait and see." Cao Shan said harshly and ran away in disgrace.

He looked strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Chen Mu felt a little disgusted when he looked at such a waste.

Soon, it was the exciting moment. The stone was about to be opened.

Everyone was a little nervous. After all, it is difficult for gods to judge the quality of jade. The main reason for gambling on jade is to infer the quality of the jade inside based on the surface characteristics of the jadeite raw stone.

Since it is a "gamble", no one is sure to win. Even experienced experts can't avoid making mistakes. "One hundred million." A young man raised a sign and shouted tremblingly.

The person who raised the sign was none other than our old friend Cao Shan. After his failure in gambling on jade last time, he racked his brains to make a comeback and learned from his mistakes.

Later, he accidentally heard that the son of the Cao family had a special hobby, so he catered to his preferences and introduced his wife to Cao Xiong. Finally, he became his follower.

Boss Xu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a feminine man sitting next to this person. It was Cao Xiong, the son of the Cao family, one of the four major families in Longcheng City (Cao family, Chu family, Wei family, and Wang family).

Hearing about this person's methods, Boss Xu was shocked and backed out.

"One hundred and fifty million!" Chu Yun finally raised his hand. As the eldest son of the Chu family, he had no reason to back down.

"One hundred and sixty million!" A handsome man looked at the other party provocatively. It was Wang Jie, the son of the Wang family, who had always been at odds with Chu Yun.

…

"One hundred and ninety million!" Cao Shan raised his hand. He felt his blood boiling and regretted not meeting Cao Shao earlier.

Okay, I'll give it to you. Chu Yun's mouth curled up.

Wang Jie also felt that this was beyond his psychological price and stopped bidding.

"One hundred and ninety million once, one hundred and ninety million twice, one hundred and ninety million three times, OK, congratulations to Cao Shao for winning the No. 3 rough stone."

Li Xinyi said happily. The price of this auction was very gratifying, and a big red envelope was definitely indispensable.

Next, Wang Jie bid for the No. 2 rough stone for 250 million.

Chu Yun bid for the No. 1 rough stone for 300 million.

Next was the free bidding stage. Everyone selected and purchased the remaining hundreds of rough stones. The competition for this batch of rough stones was much less intense than before.

"I want this one, 10 million." Real estate tycoon Boss Xu pointed to one of the rough stones with better quality and said.

"15 million!" A fat man also took a fancy to this rough stone.

18 million, 20 million, and finally, Boss Xu bought this rough stone for 35 million.

I want this one, I want that one... People rushed to buy. Soon, more than half of the rough stones were sold.

Chen Mu pointed to one of the oval rough stones: "I want this stone."

It was gray-brown, about half a meter square, gray and dull, even if it was placed by the river, no one would notice it.

"Hello, sir, this rough stone is priced at 50,000." Seeing that no one was interested in this rough stone, the shopping guide had to quote the original price.

"Haha, little brother, any stone you pick up is better than this, do you believe it?" Boss Liang, the mechanical king, came over and joked.

"Alas, young people nowadays, this vision is really hard to describe!" An old man in ancient costume sighed.

Several people looked over, shook their heads and walked away, going to buy other rough stones, as there were not many good ones left.

So, Chen Mu bought the rough stones he wanted at a low price.

Chu Yun led Wang Gang to scan several rough stones again, and saw that Chen Mu only bought a rough stone that was not good-looking, and said disdainfully: "Brother Chen, I'm afraid your hundreds of thousands of dollars will be wasted."

"Haha, try your luck!" Chen Mu smiled faintly.

"Then I wish you good luck!" Chu Yun showed a sneer and went to see the treasure he had taken. If he opened the top-quality jade this time, his position in the family would be more stable.

Hey, this person is here too? At this time, Cao Shan finally found Chen Mu. The last lesson made him remember it deeply. It doesn't matter. Let me tease him and calm down the anger in my heart.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder if you still remember me. I miss you very much." Cao Shan said strangely.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Cao? It seems that you haven't eaten enough of the fruit that Da Biao gave you." Chen Mu laughed.

"You, don't be so presumptuous. I am Mr. Cao's man now!" Cao Shan thought of what happened some time ago and was a little angry.

But he was also a little afraid of the person in front of him, so he wanted to use Mr. Cao's name to make a big move. Soon, the forklift driver skillfully forked the rough stone onto the mechanical table and cut it according to the predetermined plan. As the water jet cut in, countless eyes were cast over. The quality of the first rough stone foreshadowed the overall quality of this batch of rough stones.

"Green, green!" A man in the crowd exclaimed, more excited than if he had opened a jadeite.

"What a beautiful jadeite." A woman exclaimed...

"Not bad, it's a top-grade jadeite, Boss Xu, congratulations!" Someone congratulated Boss Xu, the supermarket king.

Soon, the rough stone was split, and a large piece of top-grade jadeite was produced from this rough stone, and the price increased several times.

As expected, Xu Ren was secretly delighted. This time he made the right bet and could finally show off in front of everyone.

"Haha, thank you all! Thanks to you all." Xu Ren was a little proud and waved excitedly to the crowd, many of whom were acquaintances.

It was a good start. Li Xinyi said excitedly: "Congratulations to Mr. Xu for opening a top-grade jadeite. Let's look forward to better performance next."

But the next few pieces were stubborn stones. In the crowd, the big guys lost a lot of money and suddenly some of them were hanging their heads and regretting not choosing other rough stones.

There was a sigh in the crowd.

The waiting time was very boring, and Chen Mu watched a short video to pass the time.

Then he opened a few more pieces of medium-quality jadeite, barely breaking even. Real estate tycoon Boss Xu and machinery king Boss Liang smiled awkwardly. At least they didn't lose money, otherwise they would be laughed at again.

Soon it was the turn of the No. 3 raw stone to come on stage. Cao Xiong watched nervously. Although nearly 200 million yuan was not much for him, he represented the Chu family. If he could produce top-quality jadeite, it would undoubtedly increase his influence in the family.

After all, no one wants to be called a prodigal, especially when other competitors of the family are eyeing his position.

As the water jet cut, a trace of emerald green appeared.

"Wow, top-quality jadeite!" Everyone exclaimed!

However, as the water jet went deeper, the emerald green disappeared, and only a grayish gloom appeared.

"Cut again!" Cao Xiong was a little anxious, but the result was still the same.

Nearly 200 million yuan, this time he lost a lot.

"What's going on?" Cao Xiong kicked Cao Shan out angrily, and several followers were so scared that they dared not say a word.

Just now, Cao Shan vowed that this raw stone would at least produce top-quality jadeite.

"Mr. Cao, it's not my fault. I observed carefully and indeed saw a hint of green. Who knew there was only this little bit?" Cao Shan climbed up with difficulty and hugged Cao Xiong's thigh aggrievedly. He finally found an opportunity to prove himself, but fate played tricks on him. Why am I so miserable! Cao Shan lamented. Cao Xiong looked at Cao Shan with some disgust. If it weren't for his wife and sister's good kung fu, he would have thrown them out long ago. Li Xinyi looked at the No. 3 rough stone with some regret and announced that the No. 2 rough stone would be on stage. After what happened just now, everyone was looking forward to the No. 2 rough stone. As the water knife went deeper, a piece of ice flower appeared. "Wow, glass water type, it's really glass water type!" An old man exclaimed! "What a big piece of top-grade jade... No, there are also some top-grade jade!" Boss Liang adjusted his glasses and looked closer. "I'm rich..." Everyone envied. Wang Jie was a little complacent and looked at Chu Yun provocatively. Soon, the rough stone was decomposed, and a small piece of top-quality jade and a large piece of high-quality jade were cut out, and the price almost doubled.

Haha, Wang Jie was very satisfied with making a big profit. Humph, my rough stone has not yet been put on the stage, what are you proud of? It will definitely make a sensation in the audience later. Chu Yun is still quite confident in his and Master Wang's vision.

…

The worker slowly pushed the No. 1 rough stone into the cutting table. For this rough stone worth hundreds of millions, the worker did not dare to be careless at all.

Everyone stretched their necks, looking forward to its true appearance, only Chen Mu continued to watch the short video, in his opinion, this is more interesting.

"With my thirty years of experience, there is definitely top-quality jade in it. Look at the color and texture, it's a pity that I don't have it!" An old man in ancient costume exclaimed.

"This is what Mr. Chu and Master Wang like, can it be ordinary?" A man in a suit flattered.

Yes, yes... Everyone agreed, staring at the water knife intently, more attentive than their own things.

Chu Yun sat aside, sipping tea leisurely. At this time, he had to be graceful.

Everyone cast envious eyes, especially those beautiful women, whose eyes were even more fiery. Chu Yun enjoyed this treatment very much.

"Green, green..." a woman exclaimed.

"Wow, imperial green, it's really imperial green." The old man exclaimed.

"Young Master Chu is mighty, Master Wang is mighty." Someone in the crowd shouted out, and followed the shouting.

Chu Yun was a little proud, but still drank tea calmly.

"Wow, so handsome." Some women had little stars in their eyes.

"This kid, he only knows how to pretend." Cao Xiong was a little itchy, and he wanted to rush up and beat him up, and then win the hearts of the beauties.

"Well, this pattern is a bit wrong." The old man looked carefully and saw that after the water knife passed, the green was covered with dense cracks.

Everyone checked carefully and it was indeed the case.

"Alas, the good imperial green can only be made into some small ornaments now, what a pity." The old man sighed.

Seeing this, Chu Yun hurriedly stood up to check and was stunned.

The jadeite that was originally worth billions fell to a fraction in a blink of an eye. This time he lost a lot again. Damn it, he couldn't help but snorted.

"Haha, brother Chu, congratulations on getting the best jadeite. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing." Cao Xiong gloated. Seeing Chu Yun's defeat, he felt much more balanced.

"You don't have to make fun of me. At least I can make some ornaments here, and I can get some money back. If I ask a jewelry master to help, I may make a little money, unlike some people who lose all their money." Chu Yun said leisurely.

Damn it, what time is it, and you are still pretending, Chu Xiong cursed inwardly.

Everyone started to get up and leave, but Chu Yun was still leisurely sipping tea. Wang Jie was a little curious and didn't leave.

…

It was the turn of other raw stones. Because of their lower grade and smaller size, the progress was much faster.

Several people opened high-quality jadeite and medium-quality jadeite, but most of them were low-quality jadeite and stubborn stones. It was really a mixed bag.

Soon, it was Chen Mu's turn to open the raw stone. Chen Mu put away his mobile phone and went forward to explain the cutting method to the workers.

In a luxurious office, Lin Yun was watching Chen Mu's every move with interest.

"Damn, this kid, he treats a stubborn stone as a treasure, delaying my time." A nouveau riche hugged a coquettish woman and said.

"Oh, don't you look at his clothes, thief, worse than our servants, how can we compare, I value him very much." The woman deliberately raised her voice a few tones.

But this boy is really handsome, I don't know how he is in that aspect, the woman thought, should I get a contact number later.

Chen Mu didn't care. He didn't bother to deal with such a scoundrel.

The worker followed the instructions and worked hard. He polished off a piece of gray, but it was still gray.

Li Xinyi looked disdainful. I said, this guy was really lucky last time. How can he always be so lucky?

"Damn, it's just a broken stone. What's the point of messing with it?" a woman said contemptuously.
