Chen Guodong stood on the periphery of the crowd, his smile completely frozen.

His mouth was slightly open and his eyes were wide open. He stood there motionless, as if he had been frozen in place.

Just moments ago, he was inwardly mocking Xu Xing as a foolish, rich nouveau riche, and was even scheming about how to sell the high-end goods from the premium section after Xu Xing went bankrupt.

But now, all he wants to do is slap himself twice.

All seven rough stones saw a significant price increase.

This isn't just a case of someone being foolish and having too much money; they're clearly here to cause trouble!

Chen Guodong felt as if his heart was bleeding.

The total price of those seven raw stone locks was only 11.2 million.

But judging from the cross-section, this batch of jadeite is worth at least 100 million!

The key point is that Xu Xing picked out seven pieces of material that had risen sharply from the entire gambling material area at once, making the area, which was already full of low-quality material, even worse.

It's likely that a lot of betting odds will remain from today's auction!

Chen Guodong regretted it more and more. If he had known that Xu Xing was so knowledgeable about jade gambling, he would have insisted on delaying Xu Xing's move.

The silence in the stone-cutting area lasted for a good ten seconds before being broken by a series of exclamations.

"Holy crap! All seven prices have gone up!"

"Icy jadeite with a vibrant green hue, glutinous jadeite with a violet hue, icy jadeite with floating patterns... every single one of these is absolutely top-quality!"

"The cost was 11.2 million, but the cut material is worth at least 100 million!"

"One hundred million? You're underestimating these materials! Look at that piece of icy, vibrant green jadeite. You could make over ten bracelets from just that one piece, and the scraps could be used to make a bunch of pendants and cabochons. I'd conservatively estimate that piece is worth over fifty million!"

"The seven pieces of material together are worth at least 120 million!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Those expert jade gamblers who had just been secretly mocking Xu Xing for being an amateur now had incredibly interesting expressions on their faces.

Some people were so shocked their jaws almost dropped, some were so jealous their eyes turned red, and some shook their heads and sighed in frustration.

They had been working in this industry for over a decade or even several decades, and considered themselves to have exceptional eyesight and rich experience. But today, they were given a good lesson by a young porcelain repairman.

Xu Xing was soon surrounded by a group of jade merchants.

"XCMG! Are you selling this piece of icy jadeite with a vibrant green hue? I'll offer 50 million!"

"XCMG! I want that violet jade! Thirty-five million!"

"XCMG! I'll take those seven pieces of material as a package! 120 million!"

"You want to buy it all for 100 million? I'll offer 130 million!"

"One hundred and thirty-five million!"

The bidding was in full swing, and the scene became chaotic at times.

Xu Xing stood in the center of the crowd, a calm smile on his face, and waved his hand unhurriedly: "Everyone, don't rush, one at a time."

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the purchasing representatives who had offered the highest bids, and then slowly said, "The quality of these seven pieces of material is evident to all. I won't waste any more words. The highest bidder will win the package deal."

Ultimately, after several rounds of intense bidding, the seven pieces of jade were acquired by a jade merchant from the coastal province of Guangdong for a total price of 1.462 million yuan.

Xu Xing signed the transfer agreement on the spot, and the other party transferred the money immediately.

1.462 million, after deducting costs of 11.2 million, the net profit is 1.35 million.

Xu Xing put away his phone, in a great mood.

Instead of leaving immediately, he turned and headed towards the sealed bidding area.

The number of rough stones in the sealed-bid area is much smaller than that in the fully gambled area, but the quality is generally higher and the starting price is also more expensive.

Each rough stone is placed in an individual glass display case, with a detailed label next to it indicating its origin, weight, skin characteristics, and reserve price.

Xu Xing circled the bidding area, his X-ray vision operating at full power, rapidly scanning the internal structure of each rough stone.

In the end, he narrowed it down to two pieces of material.

One piece is a raw white salt sandstone from the Muna mine, weighing about fifty kilograms, with a starting price of eighteen million.

Looking through the eye, a large piece of icy green jadeite is hidden inside, with a rich and evenly distributed color, making it extremely valuable.

The other piece is a piece of black jadeite from the Moxi Sha mine, weighing about 35 kilograms, with a starting price of 22 million.

Looking through the lens, the interior reveals a cluster of glassy, ​​floating patterns. The patterns are lively and natural, and the jade is extremely clear, making it a truly exceptional piece.

Xu Xing used his X-ray vision to determine the bids of the other bidders. Two minutes before the deadline, he filled out a bid form that was only 20,000 more than the other bidders, and then put the bid form into the bidding box.

The bidding process began quickly.

When the bidding results were announced, Xu Xing unsurprisingly won both pieces of material.

The two pieces of material together cost 52 million.

Xu Xing cut the stones on the spot, and the two pieces were eventually sold as a package to a jewelry group in Shanghai for 1.42 million yuan.

At the end of the day, Xu Xing did the math.

The entire betting area netted 1.35 million, the bidding area netted 90 million, and the total net profit for the day was 2.25 million.

Xu Xing was in a great mood and drove his Maybach back to Yunxitai.

However, what he didn't know was that his record at the public auction had already spread like wildfire throughout Chang'an's cultural and museum circles.

The news first spread from the mouths of the jade merchants who participated in the public auction.

They posted videos and photos of the scene on their WeChat Moments, with the caption: "Chengxinzhai's top restorer achieved legendary status today at the Chang'an Jadeite Auction, with all seven pieces of rough jadeite surging in value and netting over 200 million yuan."

This news caused quite a stir in the cultural heritage community.

After all, Xu Xing has already gained considerable fame in Chang'an's cultural and museum circles during this period, and recently his popularity has been soaring.

Now, news has spread that he made over 200 million yuan in a single day at the jade auction, causing a stir in the entire industry.

Xu Xing had just arrived home and hadn't even had time to change his clothes when his phone rang.

The caller ID showed Wang Benquan.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

Xu Xing answered the phone.

"XCMG, you really are..."

Wang Benquan's voice carried a hint of envy, "I heard you were a big winner at the jade auction today, making over 200 million in net profit?"

"Haha, that's true." Xu Xing smiled.

Wang Benquan sighed helplessly, "XCMG, I, Old Wang, have been struggling in the business world for decades, and my net worth is only a few billion."

You, on the other hand, earned almost a tenth of my assets in just one day! How can I possibly accept this?!

"Mr. Wang, you're joking. Your business has a solid foundation in real industries, while mine is just opportunistic."

"Opportunistic tactics?"

Wang Benquan laughed heartily, "Xu Gong, don't be modest. Being able to hit the mark every time at the jade gambling auction is not something that can be explained by speculation. You have real skills!"

At this rate, you'll earn two billion in no time, and it'll all be cash flow, which is far superior to my physical businesses.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Wang Benquan sighed before hanging up the phone.

Xu Xing had just put down his phone when it rang again.

Xu Xing pressed the answer button.
