On each stone was written the weight, the reserve price and so on. Whether it was a 'secret' or 'open' bid, the price had to be higher than the reserve price, which was said to be the lowest price that had been agreed upon by a large number of experts.
"This doesn't seem to work."
Adrian muttered in a low voice while looking at it, while Elsa followed him, because Adrian knew the internal structure of the stone, but did not understand the value of the stone, so it was not very clear to Adrian which 1 was suitable for bidding and how much was the right bid.
"This 1 seems to be good, the inside is the same as the surface, the colour is very even and there aren't any locks and cracks."
There were really quite a lot of good things here, and soon, Adrian pointed at 1 of the stones and said.
Elsa looked at it from the side and said: "Well, that's bracelet material, it's estimated to produce more than a hundred bracelets, it's really good, but there's no colour, so it won't fetch a big price, it's just a few times more."
To be honest, a few times was already quite good, but what Adrian needed was more than a billion, so it would not be possible to achieve that by doubling a few times.
Seeing that Elsa shook her head, Adrian continued to look at the next stone, there were still more stones here anyway.
Kylo Sues, who was not far away, had of course heard their conversation, and she looked at Adrian with some surprise, because listening to Adrian's tone, it seemed that he could really see inside the stone.
In fact, it was probably clear to Adrian that the stone wouldn't work, which was why he asked Elsa about it face to face; there were many people here, so if he was actually seeing the treasure, Adrian obviously couldn't ask so directly.
In fact, the 2 had agreed a long time ago that if they really saw something good, like a glass seed, or a full green, or the strongest imperial green or something like that, the 2 would use their mobile phones to exchange, while the poorer ones could have a conversation to exchange a bit, because this would save a lot of time, thousands of stones, ah, spending a 2nd or 2 per stone, and hours of time.
So, Adrian was very fast, sometimes directly scanning 2 or 3 together, and he was much more experienced now than before anyway.
Soon, But, he still ran into a problem.
As he watched, he quickly sent a message to Elsa.
"I saw a stone that wasn't green, it was purple inside, it was ice enough and a bit pink in colour, probably."
As he sent the message, Adrian took a picture with his glasses and sent it to Elsa.
Elsa then quickly responded.
"This is a 'violet' ah, and it's also a top-grade ice-grain pink violet, this thing is worth old money, buy it!"
Adrian looked at the low price, the reserve price of this stone was not very high, I guess it had something to do with the open window, because the opening was more upwards, so the purple colour that could be seen was not too strong, but the further down the stone the more intense the colour was, and the better the water variety, it was just a pity that it could not be seen on the surface.
Adrian then gave a price slightly higher than the reserve price, as he was the 1st to bid, so he felt it was better not to give too high a price for the time being.
Shortly after Adrian walked past, Kylo Sues also walked past, and then after thinking about it wrote down a triple price.
Adrian, on the other hand, continued to look ahead but, by Elsa's standards, there weren't really many stones worth bidding on and, as time went on, many of them were starting to be bid on.
After another long search, Adrian finally found 1 worthy of a bid once again.
"This stone is glassy with green flowers floating inside, it should be good."
Adrian sent a message to Elsa once again.
Elsa, in turn, replied quickly.
"Glass seeds with floating flowers, buy."
Adrian 1st looked at the highest price the others had bid, then added a few tens of thousands and wrote it down and cast it inside the corresponding box.
Kylo Sues, on the other hand, still directly tripled the reserve price and threw it in.
In this way, Adrian began the long process of figuring out what to do. According to Elsa's standard, he would not start for the time being if he did not reach a profit of more than 10 million, and would wait until the 2nd round to make his bid, as he still had to leave some money to participate in the open bidding, which, despite the fact that there were very few items in the open bidding, were basically good items that could be seen at a glance.
Of course, whenever Jackson Sues selected a stone, Kylo Sues would follow suit and bid on it.
It was close to noon when Elsa bought food, but Adrian didn't stay idle while he ate. He was going to finish looking at all the stones so that he could shoot the open bids in the afternoon.
If the "dark bids" were about eyesight and luck, then the "open bids" were actually about money, and there would definitely be a battle of the Lions.
"This, this should be the best jadeite you've ever heard of."
When the meal was nearing its end, Adrian looked at a hooded material and said in a small voice to Elsa.
By this time almost the vast majority of people had gone to eat and rest, so whispering was not a problem.
When Elsa, who was eating her lunch box with Adrian, heard Adrian's words, she said without hesitation.
"Then what are you waiting for? Buy it! Look at the volume, you can pay off half of your bill."
Elsa's words startled Adrian, he really didn't think that just such an insignificant looking big stone would have a price of several hundred million.
After bidding on this 1 stone, Adrian continued to look at the rest of the stones, but there were no more big surprises. The 2 of them found a shady place to sit for a while, and then went to the hall and found a seat to wait for the start of the open bidding.
Kylo Sues also found a seat not far from them and sat down.
The auctioneer didn't say too much nonsense because, according to her, there were many items to be auctioned and she wanted to leave as much time as possible for All.
"The 1st open bid is for the original stone, number 5944, do you see this line of positive Modrick green in the cut, just this 1 intense line is also worthy of this starting price, the starting bid is 2 million."
When this starting price appeared, Adrian was stunned, indeed the price of the stones in the open bidding was really expensive, this price was basically the highest level in the reserve price of the dark bidding outside.
"Actually, it's not that expensive."
Elsa introduced at the side.
"There is a saying when choosing a jadeite stone, 'I'd rather buy a line than a piece', this line is really worth it, just wait, soon the price will go up several times."
As expected, the price skyrocketed and immediately reached the 10 million level.
"Shit! These people are so rich."
Adrian said somewhat helplessly.
Elsa, on the other hand, smiled and said: "Actually, because this is the 1st lot, that's why it's so good and so expensive la, the purpose is to heat up the atmosphere of the scene, and when people get excited they naturally go crazy and bid money, of course, there's the last stone which is also very special, because that's the finale, so it will definitely be a good 1 too."
"But, these 2 pieces are not the ones we should make a move on, because there are no more big leaks to pick up, we have to aim for the ones that can make money… Right, the bright mark is estimated that there are not many chances to pick up big leaks, so let's make a move on the ones that are almost ready."
Hearing Elsa's words, Adrian nodded his head.
Following that, every time a lot came up, Adrian scanned it and discussed with Elsa about the disposal method. As a result, Adrian found that the profit of the open bids was really low, and there was nothing worth bidding for a long time, at this time, another stone was pushed up.
"This is the original stone number 9875, All has seen it, pinkish-purple 'Violet' ice seed has no problems, the value of this thing think than you all should be clear, the starting bid is 4 million, cabbage price there?"
Although the auctioneer said so, people didn't really buy it, because this stone was also risky, after all, people didn't know if the cut was all purple inside, and whether the purple would deepen or lighone0, which was also a problem.
"This stone is very special, the purple inside gets darker not to mention the other side is sunny green, and the inside part is close to glass, is this worth a lot of money."
Adrian sent a message to Elsa.
Elsa quickly replied back.
"Of course, this kind of jadeite is called spring band colour, if it's as deep pink and purple as you say plus positive Modrick green and of ice seed, it's the ultimate, let me take it."
Elsa said and held up her card.
"Number 88, raise the price to 10 million at once, 10 million any more bids?"
Elsa's fierce price increase was to make All else know what to do and tell All that she was bound to win.
"10 million once, 10 million twice……"
Just when Adrian thought the item was in his hands, a voice suddenly said: "I'll give 11 million."
