Chapter 306: Do you like jewelry?
body. The gentle massage swept away Su Keqin's gloomy mood for many days. In the aroma of essential oils, her depression gradually faded a lot. She felt much better. 。Shu Ya's charming appearance was...Meanwhile.
The auction downstairs had been fierce with bidding, and finally sold to a merchant for two million.
The master cutter quickly took the stage and cut open the rough stone. Upon cutting, it revealed many glittering fragments on the surface, but they were all scattered and unconnected.
A murmur of disappointment rippled through the crowd.
The face of the person who kept raising the price and finally bought the rough stone became extremely ugly.
Undoubtedly, his two million dollars was simply wasted.
Fortunately, all the guests present were either incredibly wealthy or from high-status families. Even two million dollars was just a small sum to them, not worth thinking about.
"Ahem, it seems our guest's luck isn't very good today," the host said awkwardly, trying to lighten the mood by twitching his lips. "Don't worry, there are still many more gemstones to be auctioned off. Be sure to believe that the next one will be even better, it absolutely won't disappoint you."
The auction is still ongoing.
After that, dozens of rough stones were auctioned off one after another. However, Xu Zui Ning had been watching from the sidelines all along, showing no intention of bidding again.
The reason is very simple. Xu Zui Ning herself had no interest in diamonds whatsoever. To her, they were just stones. Because in the world she lived in before, these stones were almost ubiquitous, but they had absolutely no practical use.
She recently bought a piece of rough stone because it had great commercial value. She invested in it with the hope of making a profit.
So her only requirement for these rough stones is that the price-to-performance ratio must be high.
However, the rough stones that were just auctioned off didn't have any well-formed diamonds inside. They were either full of small chips or the price of the diamonds inside was very close to the starting bid price. So Xu Zui Ning had no intention of buying any of them.
Until a new piece of ore was brought onto the stage, Xu Zui Ning glanced at it. The moment she saw the glimmer on its surface, her eyes widened in astonishment.
This light, it's so dazzling!
This piece of rough stone, now brought onto the stage, looked pitch black to the naked eye. Its surface was still uneven and bumpy, far inferior to the previously auctioned stones. It could be described as extremely ugly.
However, in Xu Zui Ning's eyes, it was a completely different sight. The faint-looking stone emitted a powerful light that was almost as strong as the combined light of all the previous stones.
What excited her even more was that it was different from the previous rough stones. The previous rough stones all had white, transparent light on their surface, but the light on this stone was red with white, brilliant and eye-catching.
Xu Zui Ning stared at it with wide eyes.
Her spiritual eyes could not only see the strength of spiritual power, but also the color of it.
Different things possess different spiritual energies, and as a result, they manifest in various spiritual colors. The stones you saw earlier displayed an almost transparent white glow. Correspondingly, the diamonds cut from them are all white and transparent, extremely ordinary diamonds.
Now the surface of this rough stone is shining with a red glow, so it's very likely that inside it, just like the bracelet on her wrist, is a priceless ruby.
Xu Zui Ning couldn't help but glance at Pu Yun Gu Xia beside her, "Pu Yun Senior Brother, I ask you, how much more expensive is a red diamond compared to an ordinary diamond"
Puyun Gusha gave her a strange look and said, "Now that the red diamond mines are scarce, their output is also significantly lower. As a result, the price has been inflated to an exorbitant level, almost reaching astronomical prices."
"If the diamond in your hand were a transparent diamond, it might only be worth a few hundred thousand, but because it's a red diamond, its value has skyrocketed to millions."
His words made Xu Zui'ning even more excited.
Although the red diamond bracelet on her hand is very pretty, the diamonds aren't actually very big. Even so, it still costs several million.
And the luster on that piece of rough stone showed that Xu Zui'ning judged that the diamonds inside it could make at least a hundred diamond bracelets like the one in her hand. If she could win this piece of rough stone, it would be almost like striking it rich.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhuening couldn't help but laugh softly.
Ouyang Chu, standing beside her, watched her smiling with curved brows and eyes. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a beautiful arc. He couldn't help but reach out to rub Xu Zui Ning's soft hair on top of her head and said in a low voice, "What makes you so happy"
Xu Zui'ning was now so excited that she didn't even notice how ambiguous their actions were. She smiled sweetly at Ou Yangchu and said, "Ou Yangchu, when I make a lot of money today, I'll treat you to a meal."
Ouyang Chu's smile deepened, he didn't ask Xu Zhuening how she made so much money, he just softened his voice and said softly, "Good!"
Just as Xu Zui'ng was overjoyed, the host on stage had already begun to introduce the rough stone.
"This is the thirtieth piece of rough stone being auctioned today. The starting price is 100,000. Interested guests can raise their cards to bid!"
The host's words caused Xu Zui'ning to be slightly taken aback.
She questioned Puyun Gusha suspiciously, "This piece of ore is much larger than the first one! Why is the starting price the same, only 100,000 yuan"
Xu Zui Ning was truly clueless about all of this.
The rough stone on the stage now is at least five times larger than the first one Xu Zuiying had just bid on.
But she didn't expect that the starting price of this piece of rough stone was the same as the first one, only 100,000 yuan.
"You wouldn't know this, would you Buying rough stones is actually a very complicated science! Although we can't see if there are diamonds inside with our naked eyes, there are still some clues on the surface of the stone that indicate it."
Generally speaking, when buying rough stones, there are three main points to consider. First is the volume. Just like that first piece of rough stone you bought, its price is lower because it's too small.
The second thing to look at is whether there are any small diamonds on the surface, just like the second rough stone. If its surface has many small diamonds, then it's very likely that there are also diamonds inside. The possibility of this is very high.
Although it's not always the case, the second rough stone just auctioned off was like that. Although there were many small diamonds on the surface, there weren't actually many formed diamonds inside, so it would be a loss.
The last point is to look at the smoothness of the surface of the rough stone. The smoother the surface, the higher the possibility of diamonds inside. Conversely, the rougher the stone, the lower the possibility of diamonds inside.
The piece of raw gemstone on stage right now is the last type! Although it's quite large, look at its surface—it's very uneven and has lots of bubbles. Gemstones like this usually don't contain diamonds, so their price is relatively low.
Listening to Pu Yun Gu Xia talk for a long time, Zhou Shuangqing on the side couldn't help but be curious.
She walked forward blankly and asked, "Brother Phu Yun, do you really like jewelry like diamonds"shed! Life is simply worse than death. 。Every day, one has to do a lot of hard and tiring chores. The food is very poor. Don't even mention chicken, duck, fish and meat – if there's leftover rice and...
