Chapter 554: Top-grade

Although Wei Xiao was a little surprised, he understood.

He had known Wen Nian since she was young. It was possible for her to know how to cook, but she had never had the chance to come into contact with this kind of raw jadeite. How could she know?

In fact, this kind of traditional auction was a little chaotic because they had to watch the stone cutting on the spot. There were many people around, and the news that Shen Wei had asked Wen Nian to pick stones quickly spread. Not to mention that there was an imperial jade.

Initially, Wei Xiao thought that this might be a coincidence. Wen Nian seemed to have been quite lucky in the past few years. However, after hearing her words, Wei Xiao had an idea. What kind of family was the Shen family?

Wen Nian couldn’t tell which stone was good. Could it be that Old Mr. Shen had hinted at something? Was that why he had bid for this stone?

Wei Xiao’s eyes flashed when he thought about how he didn’t have much liquid money left and how the casino had been forced to cease operation.

“You mean Old Mr. Shen knows about raw stones?” His question was very ingenious, but Wen Nian understood what he meant.

Initially, Wen Nian had not thought of tricking Wei Xiao, but since the fat meat had come knocking on her door, she could not reject it.

She said indifferently, “What else? Alright, I’m going back. The old man said that there will only be good raw stones in the second half. He even asked me to bid for them. I’ll leave first.”

Her words seemed very simple, but Wei Xiao was very shocked.

In fact, he didn’t know much about raw stones and just wanted to try his luck. He didn’t expect Wen Nian to really receive Old Mr. Shen’s instructions.

Yang Ting, who was in the corner, was also a little excited. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Yang family, the Yang family had always been very strict with her. She did not have much money on hand. If she could really make a huge profit from that day’s auction, what was there to worry about?

The few of them returned to the auction venue with their own thoughts. Wen Nian also felt that someone was looking at her. She didn’t mind and continued to chat and laugh with Shen Wei.

“Wen Nian, you saw it in the lounge just now, right? The introduction of these stones isn’t very clear, but it can give you a rough idea. Which one do you think is suitable for us to bid?” Old Mr. Shen held the tablet and studied these stones seriously with his reading glasses.

Wen Nian rewound the photo to the first one. “Then let’s try the first one. How’s our luck?”

Old Mr. Shen took a closer look at the stone. The host was also introducing the stone. The starting price of 900,000 yuan was indeed not expensive, and it looked ordinary. However, with the previous success, Old Mr. Shen was not afraid of failure. He smiled and bid the stone with 1.2 million yuan.

Wen Nian clearly remembered that the highest valued stone in this auction was this raw stone. Two of the stones later were losses, and the rest were almost all ordinary value. They might as well bid for the first stone. Moreover, many people still wanted to wait and thought that the stones at the back were better, so they did not increase the bid at all.

Actually, many people didn’t think much of this stone. 6 kilograms wasn’t too big, but they didn’t expect that after wiping off a small piece of the upper layer, they could already tell that it was purple jade. At that time, many people stood up. The jade on the big screen was so shocking that they couldn’t say anything.

As the saying went, “Red jade, green jade, and purple jade are precious.” Purple jade was the supreme in this circle. Its value was needless to say.

After the first cut, everyone at the scene screamed because there was actually green floating in the middle of the purple color. This stone was called “Peach Blossom Spring”, and it was an even rarer species.

The scene exploded in an instant. No matter how calm the big shots were, they could not pretend anymore.

“Peach Blossom Spring? It’s actually Peach Blossom Spring? It’s been more than ten years since it was opened, right?”

“This, this, this… This is worth tens of millions? This is the best of the top-grade jade!”

“I think the quality is not bad. Old Mr. Shen’s eyesight is superb!”

“As expected of the Shen family. They’re so good!”

“I was also looking at this stone just now. Why didn’t I make a move? It’s only a million yuan! Damn it!”

Just as everyone was beating their chests and wondering why they didn’t make a move at that time and why they let Old Master Shen take the good stone away, two people stared at the big screen with burning eyes and their breathing almost stopped..
