Chapter 22: Pulling Tiger Skins
As soon as he heard that Master Deng and Meng were also going to participate in the valuation, many stone masters began to become more and more interested.
The estimated price given by Master Deng from Duobao Mine is 850 million yuan, while the estimated price given by Master Meng from Hongtuoshan Mine is 930 million yuan.
Does that mean that if the actual value of this stone is less than 850 million, then as long as the bid for 849 million, you can firmly put the bids of the two on-site behind?
If the actual value of this stone is higher than 930 million, then as long as the bid is 931 million, it is guaranteed not to lose to these two masters?
Even if the actual value of a stone is between 850 million and 930 million, you can find a price close to a certain master, so as to gain an advantage in the competition.
Unless the estimation given by one of these two masters is quite good, the more than 20 master stone masters present can basically ensure that the two resident stone masters of Duobao Sect will not win the final victory as long as they have a little tacit understanding.
The truth is indeed the case, but these stone masters unknowingly used the valuation of the two on-site as reference, and undoubtedly had fallen below the limit.
If you say that these stone qualifying masters are of course of good quality. Those who have won the top ten in the exchange meetings will not be essentially different from those of the resident stone qualifying masters.
However, they can't be able to be on the resident site, so I have to say that there are still some deep-seated reasons here.
Cui Yun sent a huge whiteboard and a pen to every stone master, urging everyone to write their valuation on the question board.
The stone masters exchanged secretly with their eyes, and soon had their own ideas. They turned around and found a place to memorize others, and wrote their answers on the question board.
Qian Yang looked relaxed, picked up a pen and wrote a number on the board, and then quietly stood in an inconspicuous corner.
Cui Yun scratched his head hard and forced himself to wake up a little. Today's press conference was a complete failure. The only way to save him a little face was to sell the raw stone for a good price.
The idea of losing money and gaining publicity has long been outdated. Now Cui Yun is thinking about selling this stone at a sky-high price, a sky-high price far higher than the actual value of the original stone. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to fabricate the valuation of the two masters Deng and Meng.
Qian Yang looked at Cui Yun's expression silently, and kept guessing the mentality of the Lord Cui. In fact, when he heard Cui Yun say that the two masters Deng and Meng were estimated to be 800 million or 90 million, he had the urge to laugh.
He is so familiar with this red superstar that he can't be familiar with it anymore. As a stone master, he has been untied in the No. 6 mining area for several years, how could he not carefully study this dazzling raw stone?
With the opportunity to approach the water tower, Qian Yang happened to be studying red-skin stone with Wu Qingshui at that time, but the spiritual power of the red-skin stone was blocked, so he could not use the array disk to analyze and record.
Therefore, Qian Yang spent countless hours studying every detail of this red stone. After returning to his residence, he had to search for similar number strings from the database with Wu Qingshui for manual comparison.
Not to mention the result of the comparison, just from the perspective of Qian Yang, a stone master, this raw stone cannot be estimated at 800 million or 900 million.
Of course, when you are promoting, you can say one billion, two billion, or even one hundred billion, but if you insist on putting this irresponsible guess on the heads of two experts, it will be a bit suspicious of fraud.
Cui Yun's smile appeared slightly
He said stiffly, "Okay, the prices of all the masters should have been written, so let's reveal the answer now!"
The audience also had an expression of anticipation on their faces, and they also wanted to know the specific views of these professional stone genitalists on this raw stone.
"Then let's start with Master Liu?" Cui Yun's eyes locked at an old man with a hunched body.
Master Liu nodded with a smile and slowly turned the question board in his hand.
When I saw the price above, there was a booing sound from below.
Cui Yun also smiled: "Master Liu is so unkind!"
Master Liu was a little embarrassed, looked down at the 931 million written on his question board, and said, "My valuation and Master Meng's secret agreement, and after thinking about it, he added one million more."
"Okay! I wish Master Liu success." Cui Yun moved towards the next person: "Master Zhang shows you your valuation?"
Master Zhang's face turned on his question board with 929 million.
Cui Yun smiled and said, "Okay, now I can basically conclude that Master Meng has missed the first place in this competition."
There was a burst of laughter below.
"Next one, Master Song!" Cui Yun looked at the next one.
Master Song opened the question board and saw that it was 849 million.
Cui Yun took a deep breath: "Why am I a little worried about Master Deng? The next Master Guo, who wrote the next one, should be 851 million, right?"
Master Guo quickly shook his head and flipped over his question board, which clearly stated 848 million!
"Uh...Master Song is going well!" Cui Yun joked about Master Song just now.
Master Song opened his eyes wide and looked at Master Guo with anger on his face. Master Guo turned his head and ignored him.
The valuations of the stone masters were revealed one by one after Cui Yun's urging. The price of 851 million was relied on expectations, announcing that the bids of the two masters of Duobao Sect were completely sandwiched.
Seeing the masters revealing their prices, Cui Yun was still very satisfied. These prices are basically between 800 million and 1 billion, and occasionally those who exceed this range are not much different. It seems that the price hints of the two masters Deng and Meng are still very effective.
From this point of view, everyone's positioning of this super raw stone should be around this price, and the auction result is probably not too far from this number.
Cui Yun showed joy on his face and his steps became lighter. When he walked to Qian Yang, he spoke as usual, "It's Master Qian's turn."
Qian Yang did not rush to reveal the question board, but asked with surprise: "Master Cui knows me?"
Cui Yun frowned. He knew that this person was from Yang Gong and Wu Qingshui, but Qian Yang had always had a low presence and he didn't take it much. As for the name Qian Yang, it was provided to him by the Stone Master Association before.
Cui Yun didn't want to say much, but said lightly: "I have a list of all Masters Pinshi who came to attend the press conference, so I have heard of Master Qian."
"Oh! That's right!" Qian Yang nodded and asked again: "Do you know what I did before?"
Cui Yun shook his head blankly, feeling a little nervous.
Qian Yang sighed: "Master Cui may not know that in recent years, I went deep into the mining area to collect first-hand information. In order to facilitate my work, I hid my identity and worked as a describing worker for three years."
Cui Yun didn't know what Qian Yang was going to say, but guessed that it was definitely not a good thing, so he quickly interrupted: "Master Qian has something to say back and say it slowly, so let's show the question board first!"
How could Qian Yang fulfill his wish so easily, hold the question board tightly in his arms like a treasure, and then said, "Does Lord Cui know where I have been working as a stone-cleaning worker in the past few years?"
Cui Yun did not respond: "Master Qian, please show the question board!"
Qian Yang smiled and said, "Don't panic, Master Cui! Are you afraid that lies will be exposed by me?"
Cui Yun's face turned pale: "I don't know what you are talking about. If you don't show the question board, you can only be abstained from it."
Qian Yang was not scared by him and said loudly: "I was a calculator from the No. 6 Mine Area of Hongtuoshan Mine. This rough stone was carried out from the mine cave with my colleagues. Do you want to hear me say a few words about this rough stone?"
Cui Yun was stunned: "Did you dug this raw stone?"
Qian Yang shook his head: "I didn't dig the stone, I just helped carry it. The one who actually dug out the stone was the fellow Taoist Yang Gong who came with me."
When he heard this, everyone in the room turned their eyes to Yang Gong. Yang Gong also stood up at the right time and bowed calmly.
Cui Yun glared at Yang Gong fiercely, then turned around and stared at Qian Yang: "What do you want?"
Qian Yang made an innocent expression: "I don't want to do anything! But since everyone wants to buy this raw stone, I will tell you what I know about this raw stone, but you have never let me tell you."
Cui Yun had a ferocious face: "You..."
"Let him continue to talk!" The person who spoke was Elder Chen Er.
"Let him say it!"
"Let him say it!"
"Why don't people talk if you don't have any ghosts in your heart?"
The sound of cheering sounded.
Although when Cui Yun said he wanted to introduce the raw stone just now, everyone was too lazy to listen to it, but now there is someone who wants to talk about the raw stone, so everyone is interested.
The crowd was full of passion! Cui Yun trembled all over but could not say a word.
Qian Yang's face was calm and said with a smile: "This rough stone, called the Red Giant by the miners, is the highest-quality rough stone dug since the beginning of mining of the Hongtuoshan Mine."
"Red superstar?" Everyone was muttering three words, and their eyes were moved to the rough stone involuntarily. It was indeed appropriate!
After waiting for a while, Qian Yang continued: "I have been in the No. 6 mining area for three years. As a stone master, I have spent countless days and nights by the red superstar."
Everyone nodded, and the stone-quality masters on the stage could clearly understand Qian Yang's feelings. If they stayed with such a raw stone, they would definitely study the raw stone without sleep.
Qian Yang continued: "Actually, I am quite lazy. I haven't really studied stones for a long time. At that time, my master was also with me, and he often stayed with the red superstar. If I remember correctly, when Duobao Sect attacked Hongtuo Mountain and chased miners all over the mountains, my master was lying quietly on the red superstar."
"Oh?" Many people made a puzzled voice because Qian Yang's words were a bit informative.
"Who is your master?" The question was Chen Er.
