I changed the world.

B1-31281236 (ten thousand) No. 218 Zhang Jing

"I got it!" Zhang Jing excitedly clenched his fist.

Today is the last day of the bidding. Therefore, after all the sealed bids have ended, a single rough stone number and its winning bid price were displayed on the screen. The price was as high as 9300 million, making it the top bid of this year's Zhaozhong Public Auction. This price shocked everyone. 9300 million for a piece of rough stone, even though it was a semi-gambling stone, is still an extremely high price.

Zhang Jing did have some recollection of this number, because it was a semi-gambling piece of glass-type jadeite. He remembered that this piece of glass-type jadeite wasn't very big, and according to his memory, even if the gamble paid off at this price, he probably wouldn't make much money.

The merchants present were all experts; how could they not understand this? It was foreseeable that a comprehensive rise in jade prices was already a foregone conclusion.

Besides Zhang Jing winning the bid for this rough stone, Jin Wang also won four rough stones that day, as did Lü Yangzhong, who also won four. Ma Bo and Li Xuezhe each won three. In addition, they also won the bid for one of the two rough stones they jointly bid for. It was a 300-kilogram semi-rough stone, and the final transaction price was 5300 million.

....................................

As usual, after Zhang Jing and the others completed the procedures of signing the contract, paying the money and picking up the goods, he received the rough stone he had won in the auction.

This 120-kilogram polished stone, labeled B1-3128, is much "smaller" than the two large stones from yesterday. Of course, it depends on the comparison; compared to most other rough stones, this size is still considered large.

Naturally, Zhang Jing still planned to cut it open on-site today. Because the stone-cutting yard had yielded two large pieces of jadeite yesterday, there were many merchants coming to have stones cut today. Especially at stone-cutting yard number 3, where two large pieces of jadeite were won yesterday, there were long queues. Many people were hoping to try their luck. After all, while gambling on stones requires considerable skill, its nature of being able to make or lose money with a single cut means that luck plays a huge role.

Similarly, because of yesterday's two auctions, many merchants were also looking forward to seeing if there would be a similar situation today, so the entire stone-cutting yard was bustling with people.
