"Three hundred and eighty million!"
"Five hundred and fifty million!"
"Seven hundred and sixty million!"
"Nine hundred and eighty million!"
In an instant, the price surpassed that of the second leading bid, truly terrifying.
There’s no other way, really.
The number one leading bid is not only massive in size but its surface conditions are the best seen.
Such a large, half-opened raw stone, in great condition—can its price be cheap?
You have to realize, if such a raw stone were full of jadeite inside, based on the cut conditions, its value would start at a minimum of two to three billion.
If the quality of the jadeite is even better, the price could be higher, possibly even tens of billions.
Of course, jadeite gambling is all about risks.
One might buy it and hit it big, making hundreds of billions.
Or one might buy it and suffer a big loss, bleeding out financially, because no one can guarantee the inside is all jadeite.
Except for Ye Feng, who could see the inside clearly.
"So terrifying, at this rate, the price is far more terrifying than previous leading bids." Liu Xue said in awe upon seeing this scene.
"How much was the most expensive leading bid in previous years?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
"I think it was one billion, it broke the record last year." Liu Xue recalled, answering truthfully.
This was an event Liu Xue attended, so it left a deep impression.
"It indeed has beco much more terrifying." Ye Feng nodded, seeing that exceeding one billion was just a matter of monts.
Sure enough, while they were discussing this, the price broke ten billion: "I bid one billion and thirty million!"
The bidder was a middle-aged man in white sitting in the front row, looking quite wealthy.
"This is the Southern Jewelry Dominator, a super big shot." Upon seeing the bidder, Liu Xue introduced to Ye Feng.
The major cities in the country are divided into five major regions.
The East, South, West, North, and Central, each with vast territories.
Especially the Southern Region, occupying the southern coastal economic circle, possessing an extrely formidable economic strength.
This guy’s ability to beco the Southern Region Jewelry Dominator is enough to prove his terrifying strength.
Of course, even though he’s the Southern Region Jewelry Dominator, he can’t be the strongest in every city in the vast Southern Region, just that his overall strength is the top.
Take, for example, although the Central Region also has a jewelry dominating force, in Jiangcheng city, the Liu Family is undoubtedly number one right now.
Of course, the Liu Family’s dominance won’t last long, and Liu Xue will soon overshadow them.
"I bid one billion and fifty million!" As the Southern Jewelry Dominator bid, an old white-bearded man smiled and followed suit.
"This is the Eastern Jewelry Dominator," Liu Xue continued to introduce.
"How could I be left out? I bid one billion and sixty million!" At this point, a chubby guy in a black changshan added another ten million.
"This is the Central Jewelry Dominator!" Liu Xue signaled with a face full of caution upon seeing the chubby man.
Though Liu Xue is quite formidable, having dealt with the chubby man, she knows how troubleso he can be.
"Then I’ll also add a bit, one billion and seventy million." With a middle-aged man on crutches joining the fray, things seed to be getting more lively.
"This guy’s the Western Jewelry Dominator." Upon hearing Liu Xue’s explanation, Ye Feng nodded.
"Then I’ll join in too! One billion and eighty million." In a blink, an elder in a white changshan also joined the battle.
"This must be the Northern Jewelry Dominator, right?" Upon seeing his entry, Ye Feng asked with a smile.
"That’s right." Liu Xue nodded.
And with these five jumping in, others quickly gave up. The battle for the leading bid officially comnced, and the ultimate winner would erge from among these five.
"Since it’s so lively, how could I not play too? But don’t spoil my fun!" Seeing the commotion, the Southern Dominator shook his white attire and laughed, saying, "I bid one billion and one hundred million!"
"As long as you’re not afraid, why should I be?" The Eastern Dominator blew on his white beard, laughing provocatively, "One billion and one hundred and ten million!"
"Then I have nothing to be afraid of, after all, I’m chubby, losing a bit of flesh doesn’t matter." The Central Dominator jiggled his fat with indifference, "One billion and one hundred and twenty million!"
The Western Dominator tapped his cane, also laughing, "I’m an old bag of bones, struggling with mobility. Wouldn’t you let go first? One billion and one hundred and thirty million."
The Northern Dominator contemptuously remarked, "Talking about age? You’re not qualified. I’ve lived long enough for my clothes to turn white, and I still have to compete with you? One billion and one hundred and fifty million!"
...
In the playful banter of these five, the price reached one billion and one hundred and fifty million, truly a show of wealth.
While these people seed amiable on the surface, Ye Feng knew well that such people couldn’t be simple. Believing the surface illusion, a mont’s carelessness, and you’d be devoured whole.
These five were like Immortals clashing, making the leading bid auction extraordinarily thrilling.
Ultimately, the number one leading bid was secured by the Southern Dominator with a final price of one billion and two hundred and eighty million, becoming the undisputed leading bid.
Although the other regional dominators wanted to win, their economic strength was not on par with the Southern Region’s, leaving them no choice but to give up. The Southern Dominator had the strongest economic power among them.
Of course, if Ye Feng had joined, they wouldn’t stand a chance. Ye Feng still had over ten billion in funds but simply wasn’t interested in the number one leading bid.
"Congratulations, the true leading bid of this year was born at a high price of one billion and two hundred and eighty million, let’s congratulate these gentlen on successfully securing the leading bid."
Amidst rounds of congratulations, the Southern Dominator went onstage to complete the transaction, his white attire drawing everyone’s attention.
Thus, this public auction concluded in Perfection, with Liu Xue achieving a significant harvest due to Ye Feng’s help.
Though Liu Xue did not stand out publicly, she was certainly the biggest earner, after all, the amount of jadeite she held was terrifying.
Moreover, the two most valuable pieces in the leading bid were also secured by Ye Feng, estimated to far exceed one hundred billion in combined value.
"What? Not cutting the stones on-site? Afraid of being embarrassed? Dare to have a match?" As everyone was preparing to leave, Liu Qingsong provocatively addressed Ye Feng.
"How do we compete?" Seeing it’s Liu Qingsong again, Ye Feng couldn’t help but smile.
This guy has suffered countless losses at Ye Feng’s hands but hasn’t learned his lesson, repeatedly losing yet persistently challenging.
"Just gambling on the leading bids we hold, see whose cut jadeite is more valuable." Liu Qingsong gritted his teeth and replied, "If I lose, I’ll give you two hundred and eighty million, and if you lose, you must give two hundred and eighty million. Dare to accept?"
He had long planned this, determined to reclaim what he lost to Ye Feng, never permitting himself to be outdone by this worthless Ye Feng...
