Chapter 70.3
Editor: Jodi
In the afternoon, Bai Jing glanced at the people following behind him and his teal coloured eyes were once again colored with annoyance.
Gu Yuanzhao looked at the crowd behind him coldly then asked, his voice ice cold, “Ah Jing, how about I get some sergeants to come over?”
Bai Jing shook his head, “Better not.”
Although everyone knew that these people had their own agendas, they hadn’t come forward to disturb or get too close, so taking coercive measures would probably cause dissatisfaction among many people.
In fact, this kind of thing wasn’t uncommon.
As sometimes rough stones chosen by Stone Gamblers would be taken away by these opportunistic people at higher prices, leaving them angry but powerless to do anything.
However since these people weren’t violating any rules, the organizers would also turned a blind eye to their actions.
Because from the organizers’ point of view, the higher the bidding war, the better, as 3% of the transaction fee would naturally fall into their hands.
Bai Jing thought for a moment. Since he had already finished inspecting and observing the raw rough stones that were going to be auctioned off in the open bid area for today and the most important one had also been prepared, he might as well go and check the secret bid area.
It was said that the secret bid area was the real battlefield of the Jadeite Emporium. Major families fought here with their financial strength, eyesight, and luck, winning fame and fortune.
Each bidding king of the previous sessions was born here, and the bidding king obtained by the Yu family for 132 million in the previous session probably wouldn’t even rank in the top five here.
Seeing Gu Yun walking straight to the exit of the open bid area and going straight to the secret bid area, the people behind him were dumbfounded, then after hesitating for a moment, didn’t follow him in.
The rough stones to be auctioned off today in the open bid area was rough stones numbered 3001-6000. The secret bid area would open a few days later.
They had followed Gu Yun around for the entire morning, and although they had noted down over a dozen rough stone numbers, they couldn’t compete with the crowd, as it would be like they had burned high-quality slender joss stick to their ancestors if they were able to get even one of them, so they might as well pick a few more rough stones.
Besides, the prices of the rough stones in the secret bid area were beyond their means, so they could only give up reluctantly.
Bai Jing walked to the rough stone numbered A01 in the secret bid area.
The number of rough stones in the secret bid area accounted for 90% of the total number of rough stones in the Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium, indicating that there were at least a hundred thousand raw rough stones here.
And to avoid confusion caused by the numbering, each ten thousand was prefixed with a letter, starting from A and descending sequentially.
For example, numbers 1-10000 were represented by A01-A10000.
Numbers 10001-20000 were represented by B01-B10000, and so on.
A01 was the first rough stone in the secret bid area, and the moment Bai Jing saw it, he couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air.
This rough stone was authentic thanaka skin rough stone, similar in color to yellow sand skin, but with very fine sand on the surface and thick skin, like the bark of a thanaka tree.
This was recognized as a rough stone with good water color, high color content, and one that would give one an easy rise in bet.
This rough stone was larger than two basketballs placed side by side and was lying horizontally on a stone platform, with a displayed weight of 72.8KG, a size that was definitely not small.
There were two gray-white python belts running through its surface, and colorful pine needle blossoms around it, making it a rare good material.
Most importantly, the left side of this rough stone had already been polished to reveal a window the size of a baby’s fist, which had then been rinsed carefully with clear water, and from the texture and color of the exposed part, it had already reached apple green jadeite of the glass variety!
Bai Jing shone a strong light into its window, and it revealed a bright green color from the inside, indicating that the green had penetrated inside.
Just looking at the two to three centimeters of jadeite illuminated by the light near the window showed that it was worth tens of millions!
This was the advantage of a half-bet rough stone, because in addition to the external performance of the rough stone, the quality of the jadeite inside could also be judged from the window that had been polished open.
If this was a full-bet rough stone, it wouldn’t necessarily be the case.
The variety of the jadeite that would be produced might not be of the glass variety, but high ice variety, ice variety, or colors like onion green, chartreuse green, spinach green, and sunny green, among others.
Because although there was still a chance of half-bet rough stones being collapses in bet, compared to the full-bet rough stones that one didn’t have the faintest idea of what was potentially inside, the risk was obviously much smaller.
However correspondingly, the price would also be several times higher.
Bai Jing glanced at the price tag, and of course, it was a string of zeros.
Ten million?
No, that wasn’t right!
Just the part near the window alone was worth ten million, so it was definitely not just ten million!
Could it be that it was, a hundred million starcoins??
Bai Jing counted the zeros again and realized, unbelievably, that it was indeed a hundred million!
The starting price was a hundred million. This was too exaggerated right!
Even if half of this rough stone was jadeite, it wouldn’t exceed two hundred million starcoins, so setting a starting price of a hundred million was a little too black bellied.
Or was there something he hadn’t noticed?
Bai Jing took a few steps forward and suddenly saw that there was another window that had been polished open on the far right side of the rough stone.
This window was about two fingers wide, and the texture reached the full green jadeite of the glass variety!!
With two windows that had been polished open, one on the left and one on the right, both jadeites of the glass variety with a complete color band in the middle and the green color deepening as it went further inside, upgrading from apple green to full green, there was at least a fifty percent chance– that this rough stone was entirely jadeite, and all of it was jadeite of the glass variety!
Then, the value of the jadeite in this rough stone would exceed four hundred million!
