Tang Feng touched his chin and raised his hand again. “810 million.”
Tang Feng did not rise up the price too much, which was in line with his style.
“900 million.” After Tang Feng called out the price, Master Deng immediately bid a higher price. He did not care what price Tang Feng called out. He just opened his mouth and said 900 million.
The crowd did not expect the price to be so intrepid from the beginning. Tang Feng frowned. In fact, this piece of jade was about the same price as the imperial green. It was something that he could accept.
Tang Feng did not expect the price to increase to 900 million all of a sudden. Although 900 million was nothing to the Tang Group, he did not have much money to spend. After all, he had not completely taken control of the Tang Group yet.
He was using the money that he earned himself over the years.
He loved to have the Five Blessings Jade, but its current price had already exceeded its value. Tang Feng was hesitating to bid again.
At this time, Tang Feng could only give Gu Qingchen a look. He knew Elder Yuan and Master Deng wanted the imperial green, but Gu Qingchen said something to Master Deng, and Master Deng gave up on the imperial green. Perhaps he could ask Gu Qingchen to do him a favor and talk to Master Deng again?
He kept looking at Gu Qingchen, but Gu Qingchen did not move as if she did not see him at all.
Suddenly, Tang Feng’s heart sank. Little Qingchen was too ungrateful.
“950 million.” Tang Feng hardened his heart and added another 50 million. On the surface, Tang Feng looked very calm, but god knew how worried Tang Feng was.
Master Deng continued to bid. He was not affected by Tang Feng at all. “One billion!”
Tang Feng’s heart was bleeding. He could only move closer to Gu Qingchen and whispered, “Little Qingchen, speak up for me. Why don’t you go and talk to Master Deng again? Give this jade to me. How about it?”
Gu Qingchen turned her head to look at Tang Feng. Under his expectant gaze, she shook her head cruelly, “I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. But I can tell you one thing. Master Deng wants to buy this jade for his wife.”
It was just a simple hint, but Tang Feng immediately understood. At the same time, he was extremely depressed.
Everyone in the circle knew that Master Deng was famous for doting on his wife. Back then, his wife said she wanted to know what the stars in the sky looked like. Then, Master Deng funded the country to research a certain planet. This incident shocked many people.
Thinking of Master Deng’s glorious deeds in the past, combined with the current situation, Tang Feng decided to give up.
If Tang Feng continued to compete, even if he bought it, the price would be many times more than the value of the jade itself. He still did not want to waste his money.
In the end, Master Deng obtained the Five Blessings Jade for one billion. The moment he obtained the jade, Master Deng felt extremely satisfied.
He believed that his Baby would like it very much.
The crowd was stunned when they heard about the high prices one after another today.
They had witnessed how a rich man wasted his money.
Ding Hao looked at the reactions below and was overjoyed. He could tell Paradise’s reputation would be boosted after today’s opening.
Both Gu Yuanchuan and Mrs. Gu were already shocked. Gu Yuanchuan was slightly better. After all, he had invested a lot of effort in the jade industry. He knew some of the market prices and was mentally prepared.
However, Mrs. Gu had always thought that her daughter’s Paradise was just a jade shop that was slightly more high-end than an ordinary jewelry shop. She had never expected the jade in her daughter’s shop could be sold for such a high price.
According to the agreement, Gu Qingchen promised she would give Master Deng a 20% discount, so in the end, Master Deng only had to pay 800 million.
Wei Hong and Gao Ruomin finally understood why Wang Yue would say that a discount in this industry was a great favor.
A 20% discount saved 200 million. It was too terrifying!
After the procedures were done and the money was transferred, Master Deng did not stay any longer. He had bought what he wanted. Gu Qingchen had achieved the effect she wanted. He was in a hurry to go back and accompany his Baby.
Because Gu Qingchen had given him a good suggestion, Master Deng had specially greeted Gu Qingchen before he left. Anyone familiar with Master Deng knew that he had acknowledged Gu Qingchen.
Otherwise, Master Deng could leave whenever he wanted. He never greeted anyone.
Master Deng could do whatever he liked. So, when Master Deng greeted Gu Qingchen before leaving, it meant that he gave Gu Qingchen respect.
As for the reporters, although they wanted to go up and interview Master Deng, they did not dare to go up when they saw the imposing manner of Master Deng.
Although it was a pity that they did not get to interview Master Deng, they were still able to film Master Deng and the whole process of the shocking auction on the opening day of Paradise. It was already enough to be a nice headline.
Everyone thought that today’s climax was about to be over. After all, three pieces of jade had sold for a price of more than a billion. It was a lot of money, and many people were still not over it yet.
After Master Deng left, Tang Feng had been in a state of melancholy. The way he looked at Gu Qingchen was always filled with endless sorrow.
Looking at Tang Feng’s pitiful and listless look, Gu Qingchen could only say, “This is just the beginning. Those three pieces of jade are indeed very good, but there might be better jades than those three. I will dissect the raw stones here. Who knows, there might be a surprise.”
Surprise?
Hearing the surprise, Tang Feng immediately became energetic again. His eyes were bright. “Little Qingchen, you are not lying to me, right? Are there any good things? You know me. I will only be interested in special jade.”
Gu Qingchen shrugged. “I’m not sure. How would I know that the jade inside the raw stone is something you like?”
“Exactly. Brother, you’re forcing her. Qingchen, you don’t have to bother with my brother. He’s always like this when he sees jade. You can ignore him.”
Tang Yue spoke up for Gu Qingchen impolitely. Tang Feng felt a little helpless. “I don’t know if you’re really my sister. I think I have to test your DNA.”
Tang Yue rolled her eyes at Tang Feng and said, “My mom told me that she picked you up from the trash can, so there’s no need to do a DNA test.”
Pfft!
Gu Qingchen and Tang Yue laughed without hesitation. Tang Feng let out a deep sigh. He had heard of a sister who disdained of her brother.
“Everyone, please calm down. We had auctioned off the three jades successfully. Next, we will arrange for the raw stone cutting segment. This segment can let everyone know how our jades were born. If anyone likes the jades, you can also bid for them.”
Ding Hao was very quick. He had already gotten someone to bring out the grinder and raw stones.
