Chapter 31: Bidding

During stone cutting, more and more people came to see it, and the price of the jade already exceeded five million yuan. Senior managers of different jewel stores also gathered here, competing against each other for the jade.

This time, Feng Jun was finally able to witness the bidding.

It was obvious that some people would harbor a grudge after the bidding was over.

Feng Jun didn't realize that jewelry businessmen would actually pay attention to good jade at a low price until now.

Nobody bid yesterday mostly because that stone wasn't valuable.

In the end, Henglong Jewel won the jade of water type with the price of 6.89 million yuan, and Manager Wang from Jubao Jewel stopped at the price of 6.80 million yuan.

Manager Liang from Henglong Jewel said, "Hey, why don't you add ten thousand yuan? I will probably give it to you."

Manager Wang was mad, but he knew it wasn't simple. "It's not easy to make money with such expensive jade."

Manager Liang laughed. "We can afford it, and we don't rush to make money with it. If you're unhappy about it, you can increase your bid."

Seeing that, Feng Jun squeezed over.

There were two strong men standing by Manager Wang's sides. They gave Feng Jun a cold glance, but Feng Jun didn't mind it. "Hi, Manager Wang, do you want soft jade?"

"Of course." Manager Wang gave him a side glance. "What type is it?"

Feng Jun took out his broken jade box and handed it to Manager Wang. "Please have a look."

Manager Wang touched it. He then drew out a magnifier.

Manager Liang stood aside with a smile on his face.

Manager Wang put down the magnifier. When he was about to say something, he turned to glance at Manager Liang before saying to Feng Jun, "Young man, you know how to seize the chance."

This was a broken jade craft, so he subconsciously wanted to offer a low price.

However, there were many people in the same industry as him around, so it would be embarrassing if he really offered a low price.

Although everyone would lower the purchasing price on purpose in the industry, he was a senior manager of a famous jewel store, so he couldn't do that in public.

No matter what, it wasn't fair and would damage the reputation of the jewelry store he worked for.

Besides, Manager Liang was watching him right now.

Feng Jun smiled and said, "I'm flattered."

In fact, he also felt aggrieved because no one was willing to offer him a reasonable price.

"Sixty-eight thousand yuan," said Manager Wang. "It's too old and broken."

"Hey, young man, can I have a look at it?" Manager Liang joined their conversation.

Manager Liang was about 10 years younger than Manager Wang. He looked at the jade box for a minute before offering a price. "Eighty thousand yuan."

He didn't bother to tell the reason but offered a higher price.

It was very normal because different people would offer different prices for the same piece of jade.

Manager Wang went on bidding. "Ninety thousand yuan!"

Manager Liang gave him a glance. He then smiled. "Alright, it's yours. I quit."

Manager Wang still refused to meet his eyes, and he asked Feng Jun with an expressionless face. "Do you want cash or transfer?"

Feng Jun thought for a while. He then said, "Please give me cash."

"Wait a second," said Manager Wang. "My nephew will be here in any second with cash."

"Sure." Feng Jun nodded. "Manager Wang, I love your efficiency, and I have more jade with me now. Can we have a private talk somewhere else?"

He had asked Jubao Jewel for the price before, and it was even lower than ten thousand yuan.

However, Manager Wang was much more generous than his staff.

"My people must go with me. Is it alright?" said Manager Wang.

He was willing to have a private talk with Feng Jun, but he must be very careful.

There were too many greedy people in the jewel industry after all, and he could never be too careful.

Manager Liang, however, was displeased, because he also wanted to see Feng Jun's other jade.

However, before he could say anything, someone called Manager Wang from a distance. "Uncle!"

Feng Jun nodded with a smile. "Of course your people..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he stopped in shock and looked at the other person. "It's you?"

The young man who was running toward them was exactly the boy who had tried to rob him of the strange stone.

When Wang Weimin saw Feng Jun, he was surprised too, but he soon moved his sight away from Feng Jun and directly walked to Manager Wang.

Actually, he hated Feng Jun very much now because his friends also saw the news about Feng Jun's strange stone and even laughed at him because of that.

Wang Weimin felt quite stressed and didn't dare to go to Jubao Jewel these days.

Therefore, he didn't know that Feng Jun had visited Jubao Jewel with the broken jade box.

He only told his staff to pay more attention to a young man with a strange stone, but Feng Jun showed up with a jade box.

At the same time, Feng Jun didn't know that Jubao Jewel was owned by Wang Weimin's family either.

Wang Weimin hated Feng Jun because no one dared to treat him like that.

He even borrowed an account and left a comment, saying that he was willing to buy the strange stone with ten thousand yuan.

It was obviously a trap.

Once he got the strange stone from Feng Jun, he would gather a bunch of men to beat him.

He didn't care about the ten thousand yuan. He simply wanted to teach Feng Jun a lesson.

However, to his astonishment, he ran into Feng Jun again when his uncle called him for help.

Anyway, what his uncle wanted to do today was very important, so he must behave himself.

He shouldn't bring his personal grudge against Feng Jun at this moment.

Manager Wang pointed at Feng Jun. "Give him ninety thousand yuan in cash."

"Ninety thousand yuan?" Wang Weimin stared at Feng Jun with a surprised expression. "Seriously?"

He actually came here for the jade of water type.

His uncle probably wanted to buy other jade today, so he brought a million yuan in cash with him.

Nevertheless, he didn't expect that he needed to give Feng Jun money.

The first thought that appeared in his mind was that Feng Jun had sold the strange stone to his uncle.

It wasn't a big deal, but the price was really high.

Feng Jun looked at Manager Wang. "Is he working for Jubao Jewel too?"

Manager Wang realized that his nephew didn't get along with this young man.

Anyway, in his eyes, business was business. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

There were many people at the scene, so he couldn't deny it. "Yeah, I'm his uncle."

Manager Wang was the general manager of Jubao Jewel, and its chairman was his older brother.

Feng Jun said, "Sorry, I can't sell it to you."

He was poor, but he also had pride.

Exactly because of his pride, he refused to do business with those who he disliked.

Even though they offered a high price, he was still unwilling to make the deal with them.

Manager Wang was surprised. "How can you do that? We already made an agreement on the price."

Feng Jun said, "We haven't signed any contract yet."

After that, he turned to look at Manager Liang from Henglong Jewel. "Manager Liang, do you still want this jade?"

"Why? Young man, my offer is ten thousand yuan lower than his," said Manager Liang with a meaningful smile.

"I don't care. I make money simply to live a happy life," said Feng Jun.

Manager Liang laughed and gave him a thumbs-up. "I agree with you."

"Well, to be honest, I don't have a clear understanding of this jade, but I'm willing to give you ninety thousand yuan if it's really worth the price," said Manager Liang. "Henglong Jewel is very famous in the jewel industry, and we don't want to damage the reputation of our brand."

Manager Wang snorted with annoyance. "There are many famous jewel brands in the industry."

When Manager Liang wanted to argue with Manager Wang, Feng Jun said, "I think you should ask your nephew about what he has done to protect the reputation of Jubao Jewel."

Manager Wang was astonished. "What?"

Feng Jun didn't bother to talk with him about that any longer and turned to look at Manager Liang. "Manager Liang, can we have a private talk somewhere else?"

Manager Liang smiled. "Why not?"

After that, they left together. Meanwhile, Manager Wang staring at his nephew in anger. "Tell me what you've done."

Wang Weimin had never told his uncle the story before because it was embarrassing and wasn't serious.

It was very common that prices of jewels and antiques were quite different in and out of the industry.

Wang Weimin simplified the story and defended himself.

Manager Wang sighed with disappointment.

His nephew wasn't a bad person, but he wasn't mature either.

Wang Weimin was still full of anger. "It's just a broken old jade box. It's not worth much money!"

Manager Wang sighed again. "It's just a test, and he has more jade in his hands!"
