Chapter 75.1
Editor: Jodi
Bai Jing turned his light brain off and thought about rough stone A02 in the secret bidding area again. He was going to bid on it tomorrow, but how much should he bid?
Based on the sunny green jadeite of the glass variety that weighed around sixty to seventy kilograms and the top-grade imperial green jadeite of the glass variety that weighed about a dozen kilograms inside, if one made a rough estimation, the total value exceeded 500 million starcoins!
If he were to choose, as long as it didn’t exceed 350 million starcoins or even 400 million, it could be tried, as that was definitely a safe bet.
However, the starting price for this rough stone was 80 million starcoins, and it had three large cracks on it. Others probably wouldn’t bid such a high price for it—
Maybe he could win it with a bid of 250 million starcoins.
But what if someone wanted it specifically because of the cracks on it and offered a high price? What if he wasn’t able to win it?
Since he had preconceived the value of this rough stone, he felt that nothing was certain—- what if someone bid higher than him?
Hmm, I’d better go ask Gu Yuanzhao.

He knocked on the door of Gu Yuanzhao’s room.
Gu Yuanzhao: “Ah Jing, just come in, the door isn’t closed.”
And pushing the door open, Bai Jing entered. It seemed Gu Yuanzhao had just finished showering, as he could see water droplets flowing down his chest from his hair, making him look lazy yet sexy at the same time.
Gu Yuanzhao arranged for a domestic robot to pour a glass of milk for the teenager, “Ah Jing, you’ve had a long day, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Bai Jing picked the cup up and took a sip. The milk had a very pure flavor: “I’m not that sleepy yet. Gu Yuanzhao, bidding in the secret bidding area is really difficult, so I want to consult with you.
Do you still remember the rough stone numbered A02 in the secret bidding area?”
Gu Yuanzhao thought about it then muttered, “I remember. It’s the one with the crack on it that weighs 126.6 kilograms and has a starting bid price of 80 million. Ah Jing, you’re interested in this rough stone?”
Bai Jing’s long and dense eyelashes blinked lightly, “En. What do you think our bidding amount should be?”
Gu Yuanzhao thought for a moment, “We can definitely get it with 200 million starcoins, but if you want to be more conservative, 180 million starcoins will do.”
Surprise appeared in Bai Jing’s beautiful teal colored eyes, “200 million starcoins… will work?”
Gu Yuanzhao smiled, “Ah Jing, last year’s bidding king from the secret bidding area was only 150 million, so 200 million is already quite high.
Don’t look at the fact that Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium has four to five thousand people in attendance. In actual fact, not many can bid such a number.”
“Suppose a person’s assets are 1 billion. First of all, he can’t use all of his assets to bet on the rough stones in Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium, as the risk is too high.
Because just 50% of it is 500 million starcoins alone.
Secondly, there are tens of thousands of rough stones in the open bidding area and the secret bidding area, especially the secret bidding area. What’s more whether one can win is an unknown outcome, as it’s often the case that certain people place bids on hundreds of items.”
Gu Yuanzhao looked at the teenager, his voice gentle, “So with this, how much starcoins does Ah Jing think that person will allocate for each bid?”
Bai Jing thought about it, “But, isn’t it possible for that person to put most of his/her assets on this one rough stone?”
Gu Yuanzhao smiled, “Ah Jing, the participants in the Sotho Star Planet Emporium are nothing more than two types of newcomers: those looking for profit, and those looking for fame.
If they really want to bet on a rough stone, it would be on rough stone A01, not rough stone A02.”
Because among the various performances of all the other rough stones, that one, is the one that looks like the bidding king of the secret bidding area.”
Bai Jing’s eyes lit up gradually: “I understand.”
It had been his subconscious default that rough stone A02 would be a rise in bet, and that rough stone A01 would be a collapse in bet, which was why he had been so nervous. He should have thought the other way around.
Gu Yuanzhao rubbed the teenager’s soft hair gently: “Don’t worry, those who invest in rough stone A02 are just thinking of picking up leftovers.
Taking advantage of the major families bidding for rough stone A01, they want to snap up this piece of cracked rough stone at a lower price.”
He sneered, “Don’t worry, these people are all old foxes in the business world, which means that once something exceeds the risk range, not even a starcoin will be spent on it.”
There was a hint of admiration in Bai Jing’s eyes: “Gu Yuanzhao, you’re amazing.”
“I grew up in this kind of environment. Some people clearly have billions of starcoins in their pockets, but still don’t let go of that small bit of profit. But, this is also a common scene in negotiations.”
As Gu Yuanzhao said this, he leaned closer to the teenager, his voice carrying a hint of hoarseness: “Ah Jing, I solved the problem for you, shouldn’t you… repay me a little?”
By the time Bai Jing returned to his own room, his pale lips had turned a crimson red, and were slightly swollen, a thin layer of water shimmer on them.
That man’s kissing skills were getting better and better, however he was a bit fierce, like a ferocious wolf.
Uh, there wasn’t even a hint of an Imperial Major General’s demeanor in him.
Bai Jing straightened his slightly messy collar out, lay on his bed, then had a good night’s sleep.
