Soone took out their phone, swiftly brought up the photos, and there before them was an array of pictures, 360 degrees, no blind spots...
Tang Laosan and his companions suddenly felt as though they were out of touch with society, realizing they hadn’t thought of this thod before!
"Sui Yi, look, these are the thirteen pieces of jade rough that I’m interested in. How about them?" he asked.
Sui Yi flipped through the photos of the first few pieces and soon felt helpless; she didn’t rember any of these pieces nor their numbers, which likely ant they hadn’t turned out to be green.
Gong Jiu’s luck was just too...
Suddenly, Sui Yi’s finger paused on a photo, a slight smile playing at the corner of her mouth, "I’ve looked at this piece before and thought it was pretty good. You should buy it."
She rembered that this piece was ranked second among the fifty-two pieces of jade rough she had assessed.
Within it was a piece of Ice Type Green Jade, and although it couldn’t compare to the pure and beautiful sun green of her previous piece, marred with a few white fibers, it was still considered a small gem. What was rare was its size, about half the size of a basketball, which could value up at seven or eight million—and the starting price wasn’t high, only five hundred thousand. However, the final auction price was likely not low, because its surface quality was good, noticeable to so.
Sui Yi’s confidence gave Gong Jiu a great boost, "Then I’ll buy this one. As for the others, if you think they’re no good, let’s not bother!"
Gong Jiu’s words made everyone else feel ashad; the girl’s approach to life was far too direct, taking words at face value, utterly thorough.
As for the jade roughs of others, Sui Yi searched her mory and found none of them morable, so she had to claim ignorance about the specific pieces—possibly seen but not rembered.
So people felt slightly uncomfortable with her answer, thinking that the pieces she couldn’t rember were definitely those she wasn’t optimistic about. If Sui Yi wasn’t keen on them, could they still consider buying?
The girl was certainly fortunate and observant...
Unaware of the extent of their trust in her, Sui Yi added in a soft voice during their mont of unease, "I do have my eye on so jade rough, but my funds are limited, so I can only bid on so of them. The others..."
Before Sui Yi could finish, Flower Demon chid in, "We’ll bid on them!"
"Are you sure? I don’t have complete confidence," Sui Yi said lightly.
Then she saw a group of people nod in unison.
"....."
Sui Yi then picked out ten or so inconspicuous third-grade jade roughs that wouldn’t attract high bids, along with so numbers of stones that had not shown jade, giving them a chance to make a decent profit by winning one out of every three or four.
But she had clearly underestimated their faith in her; they took the numbers and rushed off toward the venue. As they stood, they happened to see a group also preparing to leave.
It was Elder Jiang from Hong Kong and an old man surnad Li.
They were strangers, but Elder Tang had dealt with them before, and it’s proper to greet with a smile when eting, so he prepared to give a friendly nod.
Unexpectedly, the others took the initiative to greet them, even asking if they were heading to the Public Trading Conference. Elder Tang and his companions naturally said yes, and it turned out they were all heading the sa way...
The strangers were undoubtedly wealthy, whereas Elder Tang and his group would at best be considered rich. They had their own perceptions of the wealthy—either arrogant, noble, aloof, or reeking of nouveau riche.
From any perspective, they weren’t easy to approach or befriend, and a greeting and a smile would suffice. However, the two elders behaved...
The Li surnad elder was affable and warm, engaging in witty conversation, while Elder Jiang, not talkative, occasionally spoke with ease, his wisdom and subtle humor making one feel at ease.
As they talked, Elder Tang and the others subconsciously overlooked their differences and grew familiar.
Growing familiar, they also learned more about their backgrounds.
The Li surnad elder was nad Li Yong, a businessman from Provincial City who had retired and was touring Xinjiang for leisure, having dragged along an old friend who also wanted to relax, none other than Jiang Yun from Hong Kong.
When it ca to Jiang Yun, the conversation was brief, only understanding he was also a businessman. Judging by their generous spending, they seed to have significant business operations.
In particular, Elder Jiang exuded an aura of elegance, suggesting he was more than a simple nouveau riche, at least that was the impression Elder Tang and his group had.
Of course, another impression they had was that these two wealthy n took an interest in Sui Yi.
But this interest was not in Elder Tang and his companions’ assud ability in Gambling Stones but...
"Miss Sui is young, yet she handles herself and speaks with a level of refinent that surpasses the unruly kids in my family," Li Yong remarked sincerely.
Hearing this, Sui Yi rely smiled and said, "It’s just a matter of different personalities..."
Li Yong and Jiang Yun weren’t offended by Sui Yi’s cool and detached deanor, finding her to be sowhat reclusive and not fond of socializing.
The group soon arrived at the venue of the Public Trading Conference. By then, almost all the rchants had co, hurrying with tense expressions, as if afraid others would see their bids.
Elder Tang and the others had their bids well thought out, influenced by the others’ deanor; they beca anxious and quickly went to inspect the numbered jade rough Sui Yi had indicated, preparing to place their bids...
Jiang Yun and Li Yong, on the other hand, were in no rush. They weren’t businessn and lacked the drive for profit, rely joining for the thrill of the event. Watching Gong Jiu and the others, they laughed, reminded of their own restless younger days, and what ca of it...(To be continued.
