Feng Zejian ignored the beautiful woman beside him and opened the box.
These two bracelets are beautifully set in the box.
An absolute work of art.
At this point, the Arab woman introduced herself in English: "My name is Muhammad Warsaw Riber. May I ask your name?"
Feng Zejian turned to look at the Arab beauty.
"My name is Kaze Sawamura."
The beautiful woman nodded, repeating the words somewhat awkwardly.
“I’ll remember this name, Feng Zejian.”
Feng Zejian gave an OK sign.
Kazema's gaze lingered on the wrists of Fuchigami Chinatsu and Sakurai Sakika.
Sakurai Sakika's wrists are unusually small.
Even small sizes don't fit.
Chika Fuchigami's skills aren't that great either.
However, Kazema noticed that the wrists of Tsumi Agatsuma and Okichi Fuchigami were just the right size to wear the bracelet.
The smaller one is for my wife, Tsumi; the larger one is for the branch broken off by Fuchigami.
"Sister Jinmei, Sister Zhezhi, these bracelets are of no use to me, so I'll just offer them to you two as a token of my appreciation."
"Judging from the color, these bracelets also came from the same piece of raw stone. It is quite rare to find a pair of bracelets of this quality, and they also symbolize the everlasting friendship between the two sisters."
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with a mixture of joy and helplessness.
They were delighted that Feng Zejian was so thoughtful, thinking of them when he had something good. Unfortunately, he didn't even give them a chance to refuse.
The two extended their hands, one after the other.
Feng Zejian personally placed the two bracelets on their wrists.
The two of them touched the jade bracelet at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled at each other.
Feng Zejian closed the wooden box. Although the two pieces of jadeite core were of very high quality, they were not presentable as they were unprocessed.
After a brief silence, the auction began with the second item up for auction.
This time it was also a small cart, but there were two people on it, and there was no display stand on the cart.
Instead, there were several hundred kilograms of raw jadeite.
The starting bid for this auction is ten million dollars.
Feng Zejian raised his sign once again.
“Five hundred million dollars”
The world is once again focused on Feng Zejian.
Warsaw, standing nearby, gaped in astonishment.
In her eyes, this money wasn't much, but even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this.
That's five hundred million dollars; you have to think carefully before spending it.
After a brief silence, the second item was once again acquired by Feng Zejian.
When the staff were about to push the raw stone away, Feng Zejian stood up.
"Please, cut it, now."
The emcee exclaimed in surprise.
"Sir, are you sure?"
"Yes."
Feng Zejian really created several entertaining moments for this auction.
This rough stone is about to be cut open in front of everyone.
The seller dared not cut this large piece of rough stone because the risk was too great, and it was bought by many people together.
Because of this rough stone, everyone was terrified. They couldn't afford to gamble, so they ultimately chose to put it up for auction in international waters to see how much they could get back.
Unexpectedly, a sucker offered 500 million.
Why did Feng Zejian offer 500 million? Because he found that he was spending more and more money.
Neither the billion dollars from Sakurai Yanagi nor the tenfold return from the Arab beauty Warsaw were his own money.
The auction was over, but Feng Zejian wouldn't pocket the money; that was a matter of principle. So, Feng Zejian wanted to experience the thrill of spending hundreds of millions of dollars and the high-stakes gambling of hundreds of millions.
This can be considered revenge spending.
Feng Zejian looked at Warsaw and said in English, "Thank you for your generosity. I can't be stingy either. Before this rough stone is cut open, I make you a promise, madam: no matter what the quality of the jadeite is, half of it will be yours."
Warsaw was taken aback, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise.
It's one thing to throw away hundreds of millions of dollars, and another to gamble hundreds of millions, but I never expected Feng Zejian to share half of it with me.
Sakurai Yanagi did some calculations and looked at Kazesawa.
His expression was somewhat subtle.
Seeing this, Hiroshi Sakurai asked, "Yanagi, what's wrong?"
"When good fortune comes, there's no stopping it."
Hiroshi Sakurai was still a little taken aback.
On the stage, staff were already using professional laser equipment to make cuts.
At this moment, the two carts are placed side by side, with the raw stone in the middle.
The high-intensity laser strikes the center of the raw stone, aiming at the gap and cutting from top to bottom.
One minute later, the several hundred kilograms of raw stone was cut in half.
The two staff members turned the small pusher around so that the cross-section faced the crowd present.
All the words can be summed up in one word: green.
It's so green, it looks fake, and there isn't a single crack in sight.
At a glance, you can't tell how many bracelets it can hold.
Warsaw's mouth dropped open, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Wow. This is insane."
Feng Zejian stared blankly at the green on the screen.
"It's fallen, isn't it? It doesn't look that green."
Even Sakurai Yanagi frowned at these words.
Sakurai Saki explained, "Kaze-kun, this is a raw stone that needs to be polished. This green is already imperial green. You bought it for 500 million dollars, which is at least ten times more than your initial investment."
Feng Zejian clutched his head, his expression pained.
Why? Why do I keep spending more money?
Warsaw expressed its heartfelt admiration.
"You're really amazing, but are you really going to give me half? That's a lot of money."
Feng Zejian shrugged.
"Compared to your 100 billion in pocket money, this seems like nothing. Besides, we agreed before that we'd split it in half. A person should keep their word. You choose first, and the other half is mine."
Warsaw pointed to the one on the left.
"I want that half."
Feng Zejian snapped his fingers.
"OK, that half belongs to you."
He then looked at Sakurai Yanagi.
"As for which half belongs to me, I took the liberty of giving it to our Aunt Liu. After all, she was the one who provided my initial capital. You can't always expect a return on your investment, but you should expect one, right?"
Sakurai Yanagi nodded in satisfaction.
Although she gave away half of it, she liked the other half very much.
This kind of material is quite rare.
Even if Feng Zejian really lost 500 million, she wouldn't even blink an eye.
This amount of money meant nothing to her.
She's not short of money, but she won't gamble. The more people know, the more rational they become, and the less willing they are to take risks, especially in the field of divination.
This is what makes people different.
Warsaw was even happier, not only winning his bet with his father but also acquiring such a large piece of imperial green jade.
Chapter 396 The Shocking Fourth Auction Item
Sure enough, I am an investment genius, one in a million.
In the box, Warsaw's father, Mohammed Ra Sigmar, an old man wearing a white turban, was also quite surprised to see this scene.
He originally thought he was guaranteed to win this bet.
From a profit perspective, this pair of bracelets would only have a maximum premium of 30%.
Moreover, this 30% premium was his estimate based on the market value of the bracelets, and his own daughter also bought them at a significant premium, exactly one hundred million dollars.
She wasn't actually that decisive after buying it; she was persuaded by others to buy it, but she still felt it was a good deal.
Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to teach my daughter a lesson and make her honestly go on blind dates.
Unexpectedly, Feng Zejian suddenly raised the bid, reversing this seemingly sure-win bet.
He knew very well that there was no deception involved, and that his daughter had no opportunity to collude.
As a father, he was willing to accept the consequences of his gamble.
The billion yuan given away is just a drop in the ocean.
Unexpectedly, his daughter gave him a billion yuan, but he received a return far exceeding that amount.
Sigma was also wondering if his daughter was born with this talent.
Moreover, that kid's performance was unexpected.
Both times, it seemed like he was just shouting nonsense. In his opinion, Feng Zejian was just trying to show off. Could it be that he underestimated him, or that Feng Zejian had really figured something out?
Regardless of the reason, Kazesawa was quite surprising.
Warsaw followed the half-piece of material to his father's room.
Warsaw boasted:
“Father, I told you I’m a business genius. Look at this huge piece of material. This whole piece is mine. Of course, it’s not impossible to give you a piece, but you have to submit a report. I won’t approve it unless it’s at least three thousand words.”
Sigma crouched down and stroked the piece of material.
The texture is warm and cool; he had someone evaluate this piece of material himself.
However, the conclusions were not very satisfactory, and I did not expect the quality inside to be so good.
Imperial green jadeite is already rare, and while a piece of this size has existed throughout history, it is extremely rare. It is a gem formed by geological changes over time, and every piece discovered reduces the world's supply.
Such a large piece is worth unimaginable; even the smaller parts would be worth eight figures.
Not to mention the bracelets, he didn't even dare to think about how many he could get.
But he won't do that.
Sigma looked at his daughter and said, "Warsaw, my dear, you've already made a bet, so how about you give this stone to me?"
“Dad, to be honest, I don’t really want to give this to you. I want to polish this side and put it in the house.”
