Chapter 249 The price paid is a bit high
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
Xiao Xingyun hoped that Du Hongsheng would still be able to laugh after picking up the goods and unpacking them.
The quality of this batch of goods is average, not as good as the quality of bulk transactions of rough stones that can be roughly selected.
This batch of goods took up 361 million of his funds. After unpacking, the highest retail price was only 50,000 per kilogram.
You see clearly, this is the highest retail price. It is difficult to tell the price of rough stones that do not perform well.
You get what you pay for, this wise saying also applies to raw jadeite.
Even if all can be sold, will these ten tons of rough stones be sold for retail sales until the end of the Year of the Monkey? The huge amount of funds occupied will not be engaged in other businesses?
As a large jadeite rough merchant, he has a large amount of jadeite rough in his hands, and he will quickly wholesale them to small and medium-sized jadeite rough merchants at a price of about 40% off the retail price.
In Xiao Xingyun's heart, he had already settled a score for Du Hongsheng silently. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
10 tons is 10,000 kilograms, and the average price per kilogram is 50,000 yuan, which is 500 million yuan.
500 million is wholesaled to small and medium-sized jade merchants, but only about 300 million can be obtained.
In other words, Du Hongsheng spent 361 million to buy this box, and after it changed hands, he would have to pay at least tens of millions.
Participating in such an internal auction, if these people had not heard some inside information, they would not have been able to grab so much.
The normal base price of a rough stone box is 120 million. If you are lucky, you can get it for around 200 million.
If you can get it for about 200 million, and then sell it to small and medium-sized rough jade merchants, you can make a net profit of tens of millions, or even 100 million. This is the meaning of participating in the internal customs auction.
Now, several well-connected jadeite rough merchants are about to lose their mentality due to that piece of gossip originating from Myanmar.
Everyone is greedy and wants to take a photo of the most valuable box, but no one knows what number that box is.
Well, except for some idiot who peeked at the answer.
After Du Hongsheng finished showing off in front of Xiao Xingyun, the auction of Box No. 2 had already begun.
This time, the robbery was just as powerful, but not as extreme as Box 1.
Xiao Xingyun raised a few prices casually and then stopped bidding.
Finally, Box No. 2 was bought by the fat female jade merchant for 320 million.
When it was the turn to bid for box No. 3, Xiao Xingyun found that everyone was more rational. It may also be because the competition in the first two boxes was too fierce and consumed too much energy.
"240 million!" When Xiao Xingyun reached this price, few companies followed the price.
This price has exceeded the scope of rational bidding. Many sane jade rough stone merchants, as well as jade merchants who have not received the gossip, have secretly shaken their heads and decided to withdraw.
However, knowing that one of the six boxes contained high-quality goods, the jade merchant still refused to give up and always wanted to try his luck.
The old jade merchant from Xiangjiang slowly raised the sign and added a little bit.
"241 million!" The old man was very prudent and added one million. He wanted to try his luck but didn't want to bet too much.
Dan Tuo was reminded by the people around him, maybe out of confusion, he also held up a sign and asked the price: "242 million!"
The fat female jade merchant held up a sign and shouted: "243 million!"
The current price seems to have reached the bottom line in everyone's mind. They are unwilling to add too much and are unwilling to give up.
But there are always some wealthy jade merchants who like to muddy the waters.
Du Hongsheng also had his own information channel. He always felt that it was not safe to take photos of No. 1, and he also wanted to get his hands on other boxes: "250 million!"
When the price reached this point, Xiao Xingyun was no longer in a hurry and couldn't be in a hurry. He could only slowly adjust the price: "251 million!"
"260 million!" Du Hongsheng pressed forward step by step, as if he was still determined to get this box.
"261 million!" Xiao Xingyun suppressed the anxiety in his heart and mechanically increased the price.
He is now fed up with Du Hongsheng and feels that this guy is a swindler. How much money do you have in your hands to cause such trouble?
No. 3 and No. 5 are what I like, and I will definitely take pictures of them at all costs.
Who has more money? I...well, although I don't have much cash now, as long as I exchange the top-quality jadeite materials in my warehouse for cash, I will beat you in minutes.
"270 million!" Du Hongsheng continued to quote, and increased the price by 9 million at a time.
"271 million!" The old jade merchant in Hong Kong felt distressed that the price was too high, and his voice trembled.
"272 million!" Xiao Xingyun quoted without any emotion, for fear that others would hear the urgency and anxiety in his heart.
He told himself that this was just a normal bidding, in compliance with the auction rules, and there was no need to hate anyone.
Even if he uses his superpower to control Du Hongsheng, he cannot control everyone present.
The fat female jade merchant gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Today's price is too outrageous. I'll add the last price, 273 million!"
"280 million!" Du Hongsheng ignored the reactions of others and continued to increase prices at his own pace.
"281 million!" Xiao Xingyun raised his sign and bid again.
Now there are only two people, Xiao Xingyun and Du Hongsheng, bidding to compete. The other jade merchants were intimidated by Du Hongsheng's momentum, and no one raised their placards anymore.
At this time, Xiao Xingyun saw that the time was ripe, and finally couldn't control the greed in his heart, and used his powers to awaken the spiritual imprint that had long been left in Du Hongsheng's mind.
This spiritual mark was left on Du Hongsheng by Xiao Xingyun when he was trading gray rough stones in Tengchong.
At this time, he regained control of the opponent without any effort. In an instant, Du Hongsheng was confused.
I vaguely heard a voice echoing in my mind: "This box is too expensive. It's not worthwhile to buy it. Please withdraw from the auction. Keep the money and bid for other boxes later."
It was originally someone else's inducement, but in an instant, it became Du Hongsheng's own idea.
"I won't bid anymore. I won't bid anymore. This box is too expensive! There are boxes No. 4 and No. 6 down there. I will bid again when the time comes! Box No. 4 is the number that the fortune teller helped me calculate, and No. 6 is the stolen number.
It seems that the insider numbers are all numbers I must win."
Du Hongsheng muttered in his heart and stopped raising his sign.
At this time, the auctioneer asked three times in a row, but no one raised any more placards to compete.
"...281 million three times, okay, congratulations to bidder No. 98, you have successfully bought the No. 3 jadeite box."
Bang!
As the hammer fell, Xiao Xingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The most valuable box was finally taken by myself, so cool!
Although the price is a bit high, it is completely acceptable.
At this time, the auction for box No. 4 started, and the momentum of competition became even more sluggish.
Du Hongsheng, on the other hand, kept competing to the end as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, because this was the real number that the fortune teller helped him calculate.
In the end, he won box No. 4 for 270 million.
The jade merchant, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't help but turn around and look at Du Hongsheng, thinking that this was a big mistake for a stupid man with too much money.
The jade merchant, who knew the inside story, listed him as his number one enemy, knowing that he might be the biggest competitor today.
The bidding started for box No. 5, which is also the box that Xiao Xingyun must win.
Since he once again controlled Du Hongsheng, a big wretch who was like a chicken, Du Hongsheng did not bid, and other jade merchants did not want to rob it.
Xiao Xingyun competed with a fat businesswoman and an old Xiangjiang businessman for several rounds, and finally won box No. 5 for 220 million.
This round of bidding is the closest to the real customs insider auction market. There is not much competition, the price increase is not high, and everyone is happily spending money.
Everyone in the auction house thought that these jade merchants had returned to normal and regained their sanity.
Chapter completed!
