Gu Jin glanced around briefly.
He noticed that only three or four people were still bidding.
Until, when the auctioneer called out to two million two hundred thousand, one bidder dropped out, and Gu Jin finally raised his paddle.
"Two hundred and twenty-five thousand, two hundred and twenty-six thousand, two hundred and twenty-seven thousand... two hundred and thirty thousand, two hundred and thirty thousand, is there anyone else raising the bid? Two hundred and thirty-two thousand, two hundred and thirty-five thousand..."
Besides Gu Jin, there were only two people still bidding.
An elderly man over fifty, and a well-dressed middle-aged man.
The three chased after each other, soon raising the bid to two hundred and fifty thousand.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred and fifty thousand, is there anyone raising the bid?"
Gu Jin raised her paddle.
Auctioneer: "Two hundred and fifty-one thousand, two hundred and fifty-one thousand, two hundred and fifty-two thousand, two hundred and fifty-three thousand..."
Gu Jin repeatedly raised her paddle, and when the bid reached two hundred and sixty thousand, the elderly man dropped out.
Only the middle-aged man remained to compete with Gu Jin.
"Two hundred and sixty-five thousand, two hundred and sixty-five thousand, two hundred and sixty-six thousand, two hundred and sixty-seven thousand, two hundred and sixty-seven thousand..."
Eventually, Gu Jin was too exhausted to raise the paddle herself, handing it to the young man seated beside her.
"At all costs, we must get it, even if it exceeds the price we initially planned."
"Understood."
An Mingji responded while raising the paddle in his hand.
Thinking to himself, Gu Jin’s decisive attitude suggests the jadeite on stage is likely the Emperor Green Jade Aunt Feng needs.
He was right.
Gu Jin’s eyes could detect that among the unwrapped stones on stage, there indeed was a valuable Emperor Green Jade.
The jade filled a considerable area, and its color was exceptionally beautiful.
Many people spend their entire lives without obtaining a genuine piece of Emperor Green Jadeite; anyone who can open an Emperor Green would definitely strike it rich overnight.
Gu Jin doesn’t need to get rich overnight; she already has incalculable wealth.
The reason for sparing no expense in bidding is because there is something inside to comfort An Feng’s regret.
"Three million! Three million, does this gentleman want to raise the bid?"
The auctioneer asked the middle-aged man competing against An Mingji.
The man glanced over, bit his lip, and raised his paddle.
"Three million and one thousand, three million and one thousand..."
An Mingji remained calm, listening to the auctioneer’s quote, and raised his paddle steadily.
"Three million and two thousand, three million and two thousand... three million and three thousand..."
Gu Jin squinted her beautiful eyes, staring straight at the raw jadeite on stage.
She had already begun to plan that after winning the stone, if it were cut immediately on site, it would undoubtedly cause some unnecessary trouble and delay their return home.
Today, the stir they caused in this not-so-large Nanmian was moderate, yet known to those with some status.
They even attracted mortal danger, facing two attacks.
It is not a crime to have the treasure, but possessing it invites trouble.
Too many people are insatiably greedy.
Gu Jin decided not to cut the stone on site and would later contact Old Xin in private to cut it.
"Three million and fifteen thousand, three million and fifteen thousand twice, any further bids?"
The middle-aged man finally gave up on bidding.
"Three million and fifteen thousand, last chance!"
The auctioneer’s hammer slowly fell onto the table.
"A dull sound echoed in the ears of everyone present.
Gu Jin and the others won the large raw jadeite on stage for three million and fifteen thousand.
