Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Securing the No. 2 Top Bid King!

After successfully bidding for number 5 King Stone, Ye Feng sat back to watch the show.

Actually, besides number 5 King Stone, there was another impressive raw stone, which was the number 2 King Stone.

As long as the auction price of the number 2 King Stone does not exceed fifteen billion, it would still be profitable.

However, it’s unclear how fierce the competition for the number 2 King Stone would be.

On the other hand, the competition for the number 1 King Stone was inevitably going to be even more intense, but it didn’t perform as well as the number 2 King Stone.

If the auction price of the number 1 King Stone surpasses eight hundred million, it would definitely result in a loss; but who knows how high the price would skyrocket.

Judging by the scene, top jewelers from all over the country have gathered, ensuring the prices wouldn’t be low.

If they were to lose their minds, the prices could become terrifyingly high.

Ye Feng observed the situation and noticed that those interested in the number 1 King Stone were all powerful parties who seemed determined to secure it.

Thus, they could easily bid on the various King Stones earlier, fearing that wasting money upfront would cost them their qualification to compete for the number 1 King Stone.

Seen this way, the number 2 King Stone still had great potential.

Meanwhile, the auction for number 4 King Stone began.

The competition for number 4 King Stone was even more intense compared to number 5 King Stone.

Although Liu Qingsong no longer had the funds to continue competing, he didn’t leave. Instead, he stared coldly at Ye Feng, seemingly plotting something.

"Three hundred and fifty million!"

...

"Four hundred and fifty million!"

...

"Five hundred and ten million!"

Soon, the price of the number 4 King Stone surpassed that of the previous number 5 King Stone.

However, once the price exceeded five hundred million, the pace of increase slowed down.

Moreover, only an old man and a middle-aged woman wearing a purple hat were left as competitors.

"Five hundred and twenty million!" The old man thought for a moment and then bid again.

The middle-aged woman, not to be outdone, decisively increased the bid: "Five hundred and thirty million!"

"Five hundred and forty million!"

"Five hundred and fifty million!"

Finally, the number 4 King Stone was secured by the middle-aged woman for a high price of five hundred and fifty million.

The transaction of the number 4 King Stone at this price represented a small loss of at least one target.

The market value of this jadeite was around four billion.

However, if calculated based on the finished product price, a profit could still be made.

Many people would be willing to acquire such jadeite even if it meant losing more than a billion.

But, with Liu Xue’s help, they were not short of jadeite, so there was no need to buy such raw stones.

After the transaction for the number 4 King Stone was completed, the auction for the number 3 King Stone began.

The competition for the number 3 King Stone was even more terrifying than that for the number 4 King Stone.

"Four billion!"

...

"Five billion!"

...

"Six billion!"

...

Soon, the price of the number 3 King Stone broke through the six billion mark.

Indeed, there were truly many wealthy individuals present.

Moreover, even after the price exceeded six billion, the competition remained fierce.

"Six billion two hundred million!"

"Six billion five hundred million!"

However, after reaching six billion five hundred million, others gave up, leaving only a young guy and an old man in competition.

"Six billion six hundred million!"

"Six billion eight hundred million!"

"Six billion nine hundred million!"

Ultimately, the number 3 King Stone was successfully claimed by the young guy for six billion nine hundred million, who was quite satisfied to complete the transaction.

Following this transaction, the auction for the number 2 King Stone commenced.

As the number 2 King Stone started, Ye Feng immediately perked up.

For Ye Feng, the number 2 King Stone was something he could either take or leave.

If the price was right, it would naturally be acquired.

If the price was too outrageous, there would be no loss in abandoning it.

However, with the start of the number 2 King Stone, the competition became even fiercer.

Indeed, these people seemed utterly crazed, starting their bids at one billion, which startled Ye Feng.

"Three billion two hundred million!"

"Four billion eight hundred million!"

"Six billion three hundred million!"

"Seven billion five hundred million!"

In the blink of an eye, the price soared to seven billion five hundred million.

Ye Feng understood their thoughts; these people were among the more capable group who didn’t have the qualifications to compete with the topmost tier for the genuine King Stone, so they poured all their efforts into the number 2 King Stone.

Thus, at the beginning, the speed at which prices soared was truly terrifying.

However, once the price reached over seven billion, the speed slowed down significantly.

This was the perfect moment for Ye Feng to make his bid.

"Eight billion!" So, without hesitation, Ye Feng bid eight billion.

"Do we really have that much money?" Seeing Ye Feng place another bid, Liu Xue tugged on Ye Feng and asked anxiously in a whisper.

She had witnessed the consequences of Liu Qingsong’s reckless bidding before.

If Ye Feng was truly bidding recklessly, she could end up having to cover several billion in losses, potentially paying for someone else’s score, which made her worried.

"Don’t worry!" Ye Feng smiled and gestured to her quietly.

Following Ye Feng’s bid, someone in front glanced at Ye Feng with a hint of irritation.

Initially, it seemed to them that the number 2 King Stone was easily theirs.

But out of nowhere, Ye Feng emerged, posing a real threat.

However, considering Ye Feng’s identity and the fact that even Hong Qi had to tread carefully, they didn’t dare to contend head-on with Ye Feng and had no choice but to compete fairly.

"Eight billion one hundred million!" After Ye Feng’s bid, a white-haired old man called out cautiously with a bid of eight billion one hundred million.

"Eight billion two hundred million!" Shortly after, a middle-aged man in a baseball cap raised the bid by another ten million.

Evidently, regarding the number 2 King Stone, the others had already given up, leaving only Ye Feng and these two still in contention.

"Eight billion five hundred million!" Ye Feng, without a second thought, directly increased the bid by thirty million, exuding an air of wealth.

"This..." Seeing Ye Feng increase the bid in such a manner, the white-haired old man frowned and ultimately gave up.

However, the man in the baseball cap, after a moment of silence, continued to bid: "Eight billion seven hundred million!"

"Nine billion!" Ye Feng appeared very calm, as if he was determined to win.

"Alright, you win." Seeing Ye Feng’s strength, the man in the baseball cap gave up and conceded Ye Feng’s victory.

"Nine billion once!"

"Nine billion twice!"

"Nine billion thrice! Sold."

"Congratulations to this gentleman for securing the number 2 King Stone at the price of nine billion."

Seeing no further bids, the auctioneer quickly knocked thrice and announced the result.

After the auction ended, Ye Feng prepared to go on stage to finalize the transaction with Liu Xue.

"Hmph! Just wait and see, I don’t believe you can come up with so much money." Watching Ye Feng dare to step on stage, Liu Qingsong below felt eager for Ye Feng’s downfall.

Furthermore, Liu Qingsong thought excitedly. ’If he can’t come up with that much money and only has a little over two billion, wouldn’t he need to cover over six billion, benefiting others at a loss?’

The more he thought about it, the more excited Liu Qingsong grew, already impatient to witness Ye Feng and Liu Xue’s embarrassment.

Previously when going with Liu Xue to make a payment, he saw that Liu Xue’s account had a little over two billion, and he assumed this was everything Liu Xue and Ye Feng had, which led to such a naive assumption...
