Treasure Hunt Tycoon-Chapter 1572 - Green Furry Spot

Li Du pulled the two men away, but Zhong Dapao was not satisfied. “Damn, I need two more pens.”

Da Mao asked, “Why do you need so many pens? Aren’t four enough?”

Zhong Dapao was in a bad mood and said, “Hum, rookie, you will understand later.”

Right in the middle of the door, there was a large blackboard with a floor plan of the auction site.

After entering, they saw the main bid field, which covered an area of five to six thousand square meters. There were small halls in the west, north, and east of the main field. These were the office halls, which provided different services.

Because mobile phones were not allowed and there were many people who attended the auction, it was likely for them to lose sight of each other. So Zhong Dapao tapped the blackboard and said, “If you are lost and want to wait for the others, go to Hall No.1 and wait, and queue for the bid book. If anyone is separated from the others, go to Hall No.1 every half hour, okay?”

Da Mao said, “We have no watch, so how can we look at the time?”

Liu Zhi said, “Are you silly? There’s a big clock over there.”

They had entered the auction. Countless pieces of jade ore appeared before them as they heard deafening noise!

The big bidding hall looked more like a market, with stools made of wood on the ground and all sorts of jade big and small piled on them.

The bigger pieces were like footballs while the smaller ones were like potatoes. The amount of ore could not be estimated, and Li Du was awed by the spectacular atmosphere.

Da Mao was also surprised. “No wonder every public auction has tens of billions of turnover. There is so much jade here, must be thousands of pieces. Compared to this, Ruili is a small field!”

“That’s for sure, there are probably many bosses from Ruili who are watching the merchandise here. You might meet some of your acquaintances in a while, haha!” Zhong Dapao laughed.

The crowd rolled on. They signed at the door and were then pushed into the yard by the people behind them.

“Brother, come and look at this. How about this? That’s a big piece, damn, it must weigh a hundred kilos!”

“What a mess! Unclear type, undefined color, and dubious clarity. How much is the base price? Two hundred thousand? Well, it won’t do.”

“Why not? Quote a price for this piece of material. You cannot tell what is inside, and such a big material piece has some chance of showing green. Once it is cut we can make money!”

“See 10350, this stone is good. 19 kilograms and the bottom price is 800,000. Judging from my experience, this is a high ice species material. You see, there are many green belt places and its water source is old. It will yield good jade if it shows green when it’s cut!”

“This is beautiful. 50 kilograms, four million as the base price. Come, give me some light. Hmm, the color is emerald green. Eh, look here, can it be dark bright Jade? The water source is beautiful and it’s full without any cracks. I’ll bet on this.”

“Look at this material, Nam Kay’s ice floating bright green, very good bracelet material, but the color is too edgy… better not take the risk.”

“Hey, Damakan’s big yellow chicken, this material is wonderful! Duan Lao, come and take a look.”

“I’m not interested. More than two weeks ago, the market at Damakan came out with a big Grass Chicken, which looked even more beautiful than this, but turned out to be just a piece of granite. This time, everyone, be careful with Damakan’s ore.”

Hearing this, Li Du turned his head and said, “Damakan ore has produced granite again? Or was it the one we encountered?”

“The very one.” Zhong Dapao looked around and added, “It must have been the time we met, two weeks ago. How would there be so much granite?”

Da Mao walked along the booths and beckoned, “Boss, Master Pao, Master Liu, come here and have a look. This stone is good.”

Li Du walked over, took a look and said, “Are you preparing to rebuild Stonehenge?”

Liu Zi shook his head directly. “Brother Mao, you are an expert on betting on stones, and my judgment doesn’t come anywhere near yours, but don’t you think you might have misjudged this raw material? What would be in it?”

This piece of material was the largest one around, really like a small rock, higher than a man. The skin had black, yellow and white hues, the color was complex, and a large area was scattered with green spots as if they grew on it.

Li Du looked at Liu Zi and said, “Tell me your opinion. What is the basis of your judgment?”

Liu Zi clapped his hands and said, “Does this need evidence? Master Li, this stone weighs 550 kilos. What’s the base price? Only eighty thousand!”

Da Mao said, “So what?”

Liu Zi rolled his eyes and said, “It would cost you more than eighty thousand to buy tofu of the same size outside. Such a big stone at such a cheap price, it’s suspicious. There must be something fishy. I would watch out if I were you!”

Da Mao sighed and said, “Master Liu, now I know why you kept losing before. You shouldn’t look at the stone, you should only see the appearance, and you must try to get the essence through the appearance, understand?”

Li Du motioned to him to continue. Da Mao patted the stone and said, “This piece of ore is very interesting. You see, there are green spots on it. Green spots are famous fake spots. Normally, there would be nothing in it.”

“Exactly,” said Liu Zi.

Da Mao ignored him and went on, “But these green spots are different. I’ll direct the flashlight to show you, how is that? The light is absorbed, right? There’s jade or water in it or something underneath.”

Liu Zi said, “You want to bet on this? What if it is granite?”

Da Mao said, “You said it yourself, this is betting on stones. Master Liu, do you think I have a pair of see-through eyes,? No, I don’t. So I could only bet.”

Li Du tapped the stone and said, “Good, we’ll bet then. Write down the number and base price, note how many people come to bid for it, and when the time comes we will give a proper price.”

Liu Zi touched him with his elbow. Li Du turned around and said, “What’s the matter? You have no confidence in us?”

“No, Young Master Li, it appears we have met your acquaintance,” said Liu Zi as he grinned.

Li Du turned his head and looked around. Then he saw the acquaintances Liu Zi mentioned. There were Master Dao, Xiao Liao, Lu Dayou and others.

The other side saw him too and has been looking at him. Xiao Liao was clenching his teeth and showed a ferocious expression.

“Shall we go and greet them?” asked Zhong Dapao.

Li Du said, “Why should I greet them? I’m not very familiar with them.”

He didn’t want to give them any attention, but the other side came over first.

Lu Dayou smiled, and arched his hand and said, “Master Pao, Master Liu, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Liu Zi looked up to the ceiling. He did not care to look at those people.

Lu Dayou didn’t care about his attitude. He looked at Li Du again and said with a smile, “Brother Li, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. It’s really destiny.”

“Is his name Li? Ha, isn’t it Su?” sneered Xiao Liao.

Li Du ignored them. He continued to look at the stones beside him with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Liao was angry. He stretched out his hand and wanted to pull him over. “Hey, Brother Li, we have a little matter to solve. You took our money, so when do you plan on returning it?”

Li Du dodged away from his hand and continued to walk, and then nodded to Zhong Dapao. Zhong Dapao stopped Xiao Liao and the others and said, “Alright, go away, don’t try to climb over my head because I did not speak out.”
