Chapter 507 Wishing Boss Wang a Successful Start
The surface of the stones was bumpy, and through the small windows that had been wiped open, some of them glowed with a faint green, while others emitted a hazy white light.
After looking at more than 20 pieces of material, she had an idea in her mind. When she shone the flashlight on two of the oval pieces of material, the halo inside was particularly bright, and she knew they were of good quality at a glance.
Not long after returning to my seat, the auction began.
"First piece! White salt sand material from the Mu'na mine!" The auctioneer knocked on the table. "Green is visible through the window, and the water quality looks good! Starting price: 50,000. Bidding begins!"
Wang Quezi immediately raised his sign: "Sixty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
The shouts of bidding rose and fell as everyone vied with each other. Lin Panpan stared at the material on the table and didn't rush to say anything.
She was thinking about the two pieces of good stuff at the back and was thinking about how to deal with them later.
As soon as Gu Mobai shouted "10", Wang Quezi immediately followed with "12".
The two of them talked back and forth, and the price soared like a rocket, reaching 20 in a short while.
Gu Mobai suddenly stopped talking, and the material was naturally taken by Wang Quezi.
He curled his lips and muttered quietly, "This guy is deliberately competing with me. Does he really think he can take it all?"
Wang Quezi gritted his teeth and bought several pieces of material at high prices.
Gu Mobai would raise the price from time to time, driving it up to an outrageous level.
In fact, Wang Quezi had been worried for a long time. After buying so many stones, the cash in his pocket was almost gone, but there were still eight pieces of material left on the auction table!
Lin Panpan leaned close to Gu Mobai's ear and said, "Those two pieces of good material, one is the third from the bottom, and the other is the last one."
Gu Mobai nodded, a calculating look flashing in his eyes. He had just deliberately made Wang Quezi spend more money.
The atmosphere in the auction hall became increasingly tense, with the bids getting louder and louder.
A piece of material was actually sold for 100 million yuan, and Wang Quezi gritted his teeth and bought it.
But when he finished signing, he realized that he had no money left in his pocket.
Looking at the five pieces of material left on the table, he still wanted to hold on, while the guy next to him was sweating with anxiety:
"Boss, we are really out of money!
Besides, it's not certain whether these stones can produce good things, otherwise... let's take a break first?"
Wang Quezi's face flushed red, and his hands holding the crutch were shaking, but no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do but watch the auction continue.
Gu Mobai stroked the bidding board with his fingertips and raised his chin towards Wang Quezi with a half-smile:
"Boss Wang, do you still want to grab this piece of material? If you ask, I will give it to you.
But if you’re short of money…”
Before he could finish his words, Wang Quezi's crutch fell to the ground with a "bang", shaking the front seats.
"25!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Gu Mobai lightly quoted the price, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Quezi's face, which was alternating between pale and blue.
The venue was suddenly so quiet that one could hear breathing, and everyone's eyes flickered between the two of them.
"30!" Wang Quezi shouted loudly.
He clenched his back teeth tightly, as if he was not bidding, but wanted to eat Gu Mobai alive.
Seeing this, the people around put down their signs. Everyone could see that the two men were arguing with each other.
When Wang Quezi gritted his teeth and took the stone, the back of his shirt was already soaked with cold sweat.
Gu Mobai just brushed his sleeves and said nonchalantly, "It seems that Boss Wang is really rich and powerful."
In the blink of an eye, only the last three pieces of material were left on the field.
In the end, Gu Mobai got the three pieces of material without any effort.
The strong men behind Wang Cuzi burst into shrill laughter.
The bearded man in the lead slapped his thigh, spit flying everywhere:
"How dare a greenhorn like you come here to gamble on stones? We've got seventeen pieces of material.
He's just throwing three broken stones at 500,000 yuan, thinking the money came from the wind? "
The old man in the melon-shaped hat sneered as he shook his pipe, sparks falling to the ground. "That's right, these three stones aren't even scratched. They must have been picked up from a scrap heap. They're just trying to fool you."
Amidst the laughter from the crowd, someone deliberately raised his voice: "Young people are ignorant. We experts don't need to bother with little kids..."
"What can these little kids know? Looks like Boss Wang is going to make a killing this time."
Wang Quezi grinned and waved his hands, his face wrinkled with laughter:
"Come on! Stop praising me! I've just been doing this for a long time, so I have a better eye than the newbies.
I have no idea what I can get this time."
The auctioneer nearby quickly came over, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Boss, if you want to cut stones, we'll do it for free! Or why don't you go to the machines in the back now?"
Wang Quezi turned his head to look at Gu Mobai, then turned back and slapped his thigh: "Cut it! It's a good opportunity to let everyone see what the material I, Wang, spent so much money on is like!"
As he spoke, he limped forward, and the group of onlookers following behind him shouted, "Boy, do you dare to cut it here and show us?"
"He wouldn't dare. If he couldn't carve anything out, he'd be so pissed off! This is over 50!"
Gu Mobai folded his arms and said, "In that case, we can save ourselves the trouble now."
The crowd gathered and walked towards the stone cutting area, where the rusty gears of the old machines were still squeaking.
Two old masters were wiping the cutting blades with their rough palms, and sparks flew along the grindstone.
Wang Quezi leaned back in a rattan chair with his legs crossed, the Longjing tea in his cup making tiny ripples. "It doesn't matter whether the price goes up or not. I, Wang, don't have anything else, but I can afford to lose money!"
He deliberately glanced at Gu Mobai, and the jade ring on his wrist made the cups and plates clink.
"Boss Wang is very generous. He spent over five million on seventeen pieces of material. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to come up with that even if they sold everything they had."
Gu Mobai lowered his eyes, stirred the cold tea in his cup, and said slowly, "I wish Boss Wang... a successful start."
Lin Panpan bit her lip and tried hard to suppress her smile.
Wang Quezi proudly shook the hand holding the teacup, his jade ring reflecting the warm yellow light. "Young man, you have to understand that this business relies on the accumulated vision of three generations."
He suddenly leaned in closer, and looked Gu Mobai up and down with his cloudy eyes: "Follow me, 5,000 yuan a month, it's better than your blind luck."
The crowd erupted in excitement, with someone shouting, "Boss Wang, please be kind! I'm agile and can serve tea and water better than this guy!"
Gu Mobai tapped his palm lightly with his folding fan, and the corners of his lips curled up in a mocking smile:
"I appreciate Boss Wang's kindness.
My limited skills are not even comparable to your apprentice's. If I tarnish your reputation as a sharp eye, I will be guilty."
Lin Panpan's face turned red with anger and she bit her lower lip tightly.
At this moment, looking at Wang Quezi's completely unaware look, I just felt it was absurd and ridiculous.
