"Haitao, you seem to be in high spirits today." During breakfast, Jiahao said to Lin Haitao with a smile, "Do you also have a target for the upcoming auction? Which treasure do you like?

Where is it?"

From the moment he got up, Lin Haitao looked in high spirits, as if he was expecting some big happy event.

"Of course!" Lin Haitao said with joy, "You are the only one who will participate, so I won't participate?"

"That's great! It's more lively this way!" Jiahao said with a smile, "Haitao, what is it you like?"

Lin Haitao replied: "It's an old jadeite mountain, 'Green Trees and Red Clouds'. I think it's very charming, and the jadeite used is of good quality. Brother Yao, you also know that I like to play with jadeites. I used to bet on stones."

It’s very crazy! But unfortunately, I don’t have much experience, and my luck is not very good. I lose more and win less, so I invested several millions in vain! But I am very unwilling to do so. I am planning to go to Pinghai again when.

If you can go to Tengchong or Tengchong, it would be even better if you can go to the wool market in mainland Myanmar!"

When he talked about gambling on stones, he was obviously a little excited. He was a little obsessed with gambling on stones. As for gambling on stones, Jiahao also heard about it from him. Later, after searching the information on the Internet, he had a little bit of excitement.

I understand a little bit.

"Is it Jade Mountain?" Jiahao shook his head and said, "I didn't pay much attention."

The memory in the book told him that the so-called "Shanzi" is a kind of jade carving ornament craft, which mostly expresses landscape and figure themes.

Jiahao said, "I really haven't had much contact with the jade shop. In fact, I don't know much about jade and other jade."

"Study if you don't know! Learning more is of course useful, especially for those of us in the antique business. Otherwise, it will be difficult to distinguish various old jades when we encounter them in the future." Lin Haitao solemnly said.

He said matter-of-factly, "Brother Yao, why don't I take you with me next time I go gambling on jade."

"Haitao, do you really want to gamble on stones again?" Jiahao said with a bitter smile, "You have to control yourself. In my opinion, gambling on stones is basically the same as ordinary gambling, except that gambling on stones is legal.

Gambling on cards, etc. is just illegal."

Lin Haitao sighed and said: "I have warned myself like this more than once before, but soon the desire came up from the bottom of my depressed heart and occupied my thoughts. Gambling on stones is like taking a drug, becoming addicted to it."

It’s the same, I can’t even quit!”

"Is it that interesting?" Jiahao said in bewilderment, "Haitao, let me ask you a question. Is there really any skill in stone gambling? I checked online before, and some people said that stone gambling is pure

It depends on luck, but some people say that gambling on stones can be won with skill."

Lin Haitao said: "Of course we have the skills, but the skills of betting on stones are not as simple as those taught in writing or orally by others. There is a saying that 'it can only be understood but not expressed'. The more you gamble on stones, the more experience you will gain."

Accumulated, I can avoid a lot of problems when I gamble on stones in the future. Anyway, as far as I know, there is a boss who has been gambling on jade for decades. Now he almost always wins every time he gambles. Many people ask him for tips on stone gambling.

, He is willing to say, but what he says is just some common knowledge. I think he is hiding something, or he wants to hold back. Things like stone gambling are inherently mysterious. Every stone gambling master has something that he does not pass on.

It’s a secret.”

"Oh, that's it!" Jiahao suddenly realized, "It sounds really exciting. I will go and experience it if I have the opportunity in the future."

Although he doesn't know much about stone gambling now, he can learn from it, so he thought that he could ask Lin Haitao and others for advice. Even by chance, he could learn from the original owner's stone gambling experience from an old jadeite.

If you can learn skills from other things, you will naturally have the opportunity to learn the mysterious and mysterious stone gambling skills. Of course, this matter cannot be rushed.

After Jiahao and Lin Haitao talked interestingly for a while, Mr. Deng greeted them and said they were going to the auction venue.

So the five of them came to a hall, which had already been decorated. When Dang Jiahao and the others walked in, they saw a crowd of people in front of them, and everything they saw was dark. Unexpectedly, they all came so quickly, and the seats were really packed.

Jiahao and the others received a sign before taking their seats for bidding. This auction was more casual and open, and anyone who was interested in visiting had the opportunity to bid.

"Third Master, several people named Deng are here!"

As soon as Jiahao and the others sat down in an empty seat on the left, several pairs of eyes noticed them from the rear right.

"They're coming when they come!" Mr. Qi sneered in a low voice, "We can't stop them! In order for Boss Jin to auction things smoothly, they welcome everyone who comes in."

The person next to him frowned slightly and said, "They have already taken away a collection that you were interested in, and I'm afraid they will come and steal it from you again."

"It's a public auction now, what am I afraid of them doing?!" Mr. Qi glared at Mr. Deng with disdain, "They can just follow the price, but I will run as far as they can, because I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up.

Up! The 'Zhang Fei Plum Vase' is the top priority for us to participate in the auction this time. We must take a photo of it! The 'Zhang Fei Plum Vase' that appeared in the capital was coveted by many international auction companies, but things

It has entered the National Museum and has no chance to be auctioned. Later, someone estimated that if it were auctioned, it could fetch a sky-high price of hundreds of millions! So if we can get it, we will find a way to send it to a foreign auction. I think we can make a lot of money.

One stroke!”

"Third Master, you are so smart!" The man gave a thumbs up and praised proudly.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the auction officially began. The first lot announced by the young and beautiful auctioneer turned out to be the old jadeite mountain that Lin Haitao liked.

"...Lot No. 1 is Jade Mountain Zi from the mid-Qing Dynasty. This ornament is carved from fine red jade and green jade, with a mahogany base. It has a beautiful shape and is integrated..." The female auctioneer loudly introduced on the stage.

He said, "The bidding starts now, the starting price is 600,000, and each increase must not be less than 50,000. Is there any boss who wants a higher price?"

"Mr. No. 15 offers 600,000!" Immediately, the auctioneer pointed at a middle-aged man in the front row who held a sign high and shouted.

In the blink of an eye, the auction entered a tense state. Someone called out 600,000, and then Lin Haitao also raised a sign, asking for 50,000.

In the blink of an eye, the price of the jadeite mountain has risen from 600,000 to 700,000, an increase of 100,000. Of course, this is just the beginning.

Next, there were about four or five people chasing the price. Within a few minutes, the price of the jade ornament suddenly changed to more than 1.2 million. However, when the price increased to 150, only Lin Haitao was left.

Competing with the first placard holder No. 15.

Jiahao, who was sitting next to Lin Haitao, secretly felt a cold sweat for Lin Haitao. He knew that Lin Haitao liked that ornament very much and he was determined to win it. Coupled with his unwillingness to admit defeat, if the other party didn't stop...

I'm afraid that he will keep pursuing it, and he will take the photo without frowning no matter how high the price is.

Fortunately, after chasing the price a few more times, it all stopped on the 15th.

"One million and eight hundred thousand, two million and eight hundred thousand..." the auctioneer said loudly, "Is there any boss who likes Collection No. 1?!"

Seeing that the dust had settled, it was none other than Lin Haitao. He Qing was breathing a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice from the rear right shouted: "Two and a half million!"

As soon as this price was announced, the whole audience was in an uproar...

This is definitely a thunder!

The price of the old jadeite mountain son suddenly jumped from 1.8 million to 2.5 million, a full increase of 700,000. This is a price increase that has never happened before. The price is so high that it is enough to make people feel shocked.

Surprised.

At that moment, pairs of eyes all looked in the direction where the bidding sound came from, and Jiahao was no exception. His eyes immediately focused on a person.

What caught his eye was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears. The man looked familiar. When he calmed down, he secretly shouted something bad: "No, that man is Mr. Qi's man! They

This is trying to challenge the waves!"

When he found that the boss who shouted the high price was sitting next to the notorious Mr. Qi, Jiahao immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Mr. Qi and others had deliberately raised the price in order to prevent Lin Haitao from successfully winning the bid.

Jade ornaments.

Jiahao knew that Mr. Qi and Lin Haitao had a grudge, but he didn't expect that the other party would play this trick. That thing was obviously going to fall into Lin Haitao's hands. Who knew that Mr. Qi and the others would suddenly jump out to disrupt the situation? Isn't this obvious?

Are you having trouble getting along with someone? It’s just that except for Jiahao and a few others, the other players present didn’t know.

Suddenly, the blood in Jiahao's chest surged, and he felt an inexplicable excitement. He didn't know whether it was anger or nervousness.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became high, and some people couldn't help but started whispering.

"Boss No. 38 bids two million and a half million!" The auctioneer on the stage was also emotionally aroused by this sudden change and said loudly, "Two million and a half million at a time..."

"Two million and six hundred thousand!" Before the auctioneer finished speaking, someone was chasing the price. This person was none other than Lin Haitao.

Hearing this, Jiahao couldn't help but secretly take a breath. He knew that Lin Haitao was a stubborn person, and he would never just give up on the item he liked from the beginning, not to mention that this was a special situation.

The Third Master's people are deliberately stirring up trouble. Can he swallow this? If he stops raising prices, it will mean surrendering obediently. He cannot afford to lose face.

When Jiahao turned around, he found that Lin Haitao's face was ashen and his expression was solemn. He looked like he was going all out. It seemed that he was going to compete to the end.

Mr. Deng and Jiahao, who were sitting next to each other, looked at each other, with surprise and helplessness in their eyes.

Mr. Qi and the others are playing tricks, ruining good things, and making the atmosphere of the auction, which was originally smooth, suddenly become weird. This makes people feel both angry and helpless. After all, the auction is a place of fair competition, as long as you show up

If you can afford it, no matter how high the price you quote, no one can stop you.

Mr. Qi refused to let Lin Haitao have his way, so Jiahao and Mr. Deng were naturally anxious for Lin Haitao. How long would it take to increase the price like this? Wouldn't this be a problem for themselves? Although the collection is more exquisite, its value is relatively limited.

, once it exceeds two million, you have to seriously consider whether it is worth taking the photo.

"Three million! I will pay three million!"

The auctioneer couldn't allow the auctioneer to relax, so the middle-aged man next to Mr. Qi raised the price again. He shouted for an extra 600,000 yuan. At that moment, another burst of noise broke out in the venue, and all kinds of discussions started pouring in.

"Haitao!"

Lin Haitao did not hesitate and was about to raise the sign when Mr. Zheng, who was sitting on his right hand side, suddenly pulled him and said in a low voice: "It's just a small jade carving, why bother with people who want to destroy it?"

Show off your strength?"

"Grandpa, I have to take the photo!" Lin Haitao refused to listen to his grandfather's dissuasion and insisted on increasing the price. So he once again raised the sign high and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I will pay 3.1 million!"

There was a burst of surprise around them, and Jiahao and Mr. Zheng looked at each other. Mr. Zheng shook his head and couldn't help but sigh lowly. Lin Haitao's stubbornness made them more and more anxious. Three million is not a
Chapter completed!
