Treasure Appraisal: My eyes can identify all things

Ambergris, also known as dragon belly incense.

Together with agarwood, sandalwood and musk, it is known as the four famous fragrances.

Extremely precious.

It is a solid waxy flammable substance that is grey-brown, black or white and has its own unique sweet earthy aroma.

The essence of ambergris comes from sperm whales swallowing giant squid or cuttlefish, because the hard horny jaws and tongue teeth of cuttlefish and cuttlefish are very difficult to digest.

The sperm whale's intestines secrete a kind of oil to wrap the indigestible part, and are finally excreted by the sperm whale.

This is the semi-finished ambergris.

Ambergris discharged into the sea is initially black. Due to its low density, it usually floats on the sea. Under the multiple effects of seawater, sun exposure, and oxidation, it gradually ages and turns into gray, light gray, and finally white.

The color of ambergris ranges from black, to taupe, off-white to white, and the quality also goes from low to high.

The price also ranges from one hundred yuan per gram to several thousand yuan per gram.

Ambergris has been washed and dried for a long time before use. It is the best among spices and an indispensable "odd fragrance" in high-end perfumes. It is mainly used as a fixative for perfumes.

The perfume essence prepared using it not only has a soft aroma, but also has a long-lasting and beautiful fragrance, which is deeply loved by people.

Due to the unique utility value of ambergris, coupled with its extremely difficult to obtain this property, ambergris is also more valuable than the other three famous fragrances.

A total of 15 lots will be auctioned in this auction.

Various categories are covered.

Jiang Cheng looked at the serial number and saw that ambergris was lot number 5.

Follow the instructions on the display sign.

This piece of ambergris weighs 7.5 kilograms, is about the size of a basketball, has an irregular shape and is gray-white in color.

Belongs to white ambergris.

It is one of the best quality among ambergris.

The starting price is as high as 1000 million, with a minimum increase of 50 each time.

If calculated based on the starting price of 1000 million, the unit price of this piece of ambergris is approximately yuan per gram.

I don’t know how much more expensive than gold.

Moreover, this is only the starting price. As the auction price increases, the unit price of this piece of white ambergris will only be higher!

However, Jiang Cheng could still afford the price of tens of millions.

More importantly, there is a pile of porcelain with demon blood hidden in his basement, as well as the coffin.

The value of demon blood is much greater than ambergris to Jiang Cheng now.

After watching the display board for a while, many people saw their favorite products. Those who were interested in participating in the auction went to verify their capital and get their license plates.

Jiang Cheng naturally participated in the capital verification and looked at the number plate, which was No. 37.

Chu Yanran is number 8.

Soon, the first piece of raw imperial green jadeite was put up for auction.

"Okay! Time's up! The first auction item tonight is Laomian Laokeng glass imperial green jade raw stone. The starting price is 3 million, and each increase in price will not be less than million! Start bidding now!"

Huang Chengye was the first to bear the brunt: "I will pay 350 million!"

The scene suddenly exploded.

Everyone's eyes fell on Huang Chengye, who was wearing a monkey face mask.

"Good guy, whose young master is this? The price is increased by 50 million. Is this a sure win?"

"Alas! If you have money, you are arrogant! This kind of top-notch material is simply beyond the reach of little Karami like us!"

"Is this a high-end game? It's too cruel!"

"Forget it, forget it! I originally wanted to add 10 million! Now 50 million is no longer enough!"

At this time, a fat man in a black suit held up a sign and bid: "Three hundred and sixty million!"

"I'll pay 370 million!"

"I'll pay 380 million!"

Then a man and a woman bid one after another. Although their appearance could not be seen, it could be judged from their voices and figures that they were almost thirty or forty years old.

These people are slowly adding ten million to ten million, which is a steady and steady approach, unlike Huang Chengye who is so cruel and increases the price by fifty million right away.

Huang Chengye glanced at the two bidders, his face slightly gloomy.

He originally wanted to add 50 million at once, so that other competitors would give up.

Some young Karami have obviously been frightened by his 50 million and given up.

The rest are those with some strength.

The Huang family in Qingzhou, who are about the same strength as him, also want this piece of imperial green material.

No need to think about it, they should be from the upper-class families in Qingzhou.

Huang Chengye secretly glanced at Jiang Cheng and Chu Yanran and frowned when he found that they didn't hold up their signs.

I don’t know what kind of plane these two people are doing.

Could it be that Chu Yanran was waiting for him to force the other two people away before taking action?

Huang Chengye gritted his teeth and felt that this should be the case.

Then he raised his sign again: "Four hundred million!"

Everyone gasped when they heard Huang Chengye quoted 400 million.

"I'll go! Who is this young man? Four hundred million! He is so powerful! He can't be one of the top family members in Qingzhou, right?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Apart from those families, who else can casually spend 400 million to buy a piece of raw jade?"

"Oh! As the saying goes, rich people use money to make money, and it's absolutely true! If this piece of material goes up in value, it will earn at least five or six billion!"

"Then who knows? Don't look at the imperial green on the other side of the window. Who knows what's coming out of the window? Do you think five or six billion is really so easy to earn? Then you can risk hundreds of millions!"

"If this bet fails, I'll probably go crazy!"

At this time, the man and woman who had just bid looked at each other with expressions of embarrassment.

Then he looked at the rough black sand imperial green jade stone on the display stand.

A long sigh.

The current value of this piece of material is indeed not expensive at 400 million.

But the hammer price obviously couldn't be only 400 million. Maybe the young man could raise it to another 40 to 50 million.

The risks are simply too great.

After pondering for a moment, the two sighed and stopped bidding.

Looking at Huang Chengye, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Huang Chengye naturally saw the unwillingness in their eyes and knew that they were planning to give up.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

Even the members of those families, 400 million, cannot afford it casually.

After a few seconds of success, Chu Yanran suddenly raised the sign and quoted the price.

"I'll pay 430 million!"

Everyone stared at Chu Yanran who made the quotation with their mouths open.

Good guy, this is even more exaggerated!

"Hey! Isn't that Miss Chu Yanran from the Chu family? I saw her at a jadeite rough auction in Ruili. Even with her face covered, I can recognize her at a glance!"

"What, is that Chu Yanran who is so unlucky that even her mother doesn't recognize her?"

"I heard that she spent 180 million to buy a piece of high-quality jade, but it turned out to be a low-grade jade worth several million, and she lost a lot of money. She dared to buy it this time! Young people are too brave!"

"Hey! This time is different from last time. This time, the window is opened! Moreover, the window surface is the best type of glass, imperial green!"

"Haha! I hope so!"

……

Murong Xue narrowed her eyes and stared at Chu Yanran, hatred surging in her eyes.

This Chu Yanran had always targeted her in the past and robbed her of a lot of good information. Originally, that time in Ruili, when this woman bet on stones and lost money, she was quite excited, but then she turned around and because of Jiang Cheng's relationship , and took away all the good materials that should have belonged to her.

Originally, this woman Chu Yanran should have lost 200 million, but she ended up earning at least another 670 million for picking up Jiang Cheng's information for no apparent reason.

That was originally earned by her Murong family, and it was all because of this woman!

Every time he thought of Chu Yanran's villainous demeanor, Murong Xue felt itching with hatred!

This time, there was no way she would let this woman slip through the cracks.

Then he said to Huang Chengye: "Twenty million more!"

Huang Chengye was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Cheng beside Chu Yanran.

He saw Jiang Cheng crossing his arms and staring at him with an indifferent expression.

Don't get angry anywhere.

No need to ask, it must have been the bitch Jiang Cheng who asked Chu Yanran to increase the price.

Without hesitation, he raised the sign: "I will offer 450 million!"

Looking at Huang Chengye's arrogant look, Jiang Cheng almost laughed.

Tie Longsheng cost over three million, and Huang Chengye asked for 450 million?

It's just a loss of more than 446 million.

For the eldest son of the Huang family, isn’t that just sprinkling water?

(??)

In this case, it was really difficult for him to stop Mr. Huang.

"This gentleman bids 450 million, is there anyone else who bids higher?"

At this time, the female auctioneer had already started asking if anyone else wanted to increase the price!

Seeing that Chu Yanran was still holding up a sign, Jiang Cheng immediately pulled Chu Yanran.

"Miss Chu, I think this 450 million is already enough. It's really not worth raising more money. Since Young Master Huang is bound to win, why not forget it! We are going to go there in a week after being forgotten From Lao Burma!”
