However, it counts as sold only if someone can afford to buy it.
She asked Qiu Guosheng, "What’s the starting price of the most expensive item tonight?"
"It’s a piece of Han Dynasty nephrite jade, with a starting price of five million, expected to sell for over ten million."
"Then make it casual, start at ten times that... ten million."
Qiu Guosheng gasped, "...!"
Ten million is already amazing, but ten times that, isn’t that starting at a hundred million?
This little ancestor casually sets small goals in the hundreds of millions.
But considering the years this Jade Pendant has been through, if it truly spans ten thousand years, it’s a priceless treasure, and a hundred million is not expensive.
Unfortunately, time is too tight to find a Treasure Appraiser to evaluate the grade of this jade.
Qiu Guosheng locked the Jade Pendant in a bulletproof glass box and carefully carried it out.
After walking a few steps, Zuzi’s lazy voice sounded again behind him, "Xiao Qiu, show the ancestor the most expensive medicine to be auctioned tonight first."
Qiu Guosheng was surprised, "Do you have something else you want to buy?"
"Just taking a casual look."
"Alright, let me show it to you."
A big seller and a big buyer at the same time, this young girl is indeed amazing.
Originally, they wouldn’t show the actual items before the auction, but this guest, Zuzi, was special. Qiu Guosheng made an exception and showed her the thousand-year-old wild ginseng, whole Snow Lotus, five hundred-year-old Lingzhi grass... all for Zuzi to preview.
"Do you find these medicines impressive?"
Qiu Guosheng’s lips twitched, "Are you interested in looking at the jade? That nephrite is a popular auction item, and several guests have secretly asked about it, determined to get it."
"Are you interested in stone gambling? It’s a special program at our auction house."
"No..." Zuzi was halfway through her sentence when she noticed Xi Rubao’s pleading and sparkling eyes and reluctantly changed her mind, "Alright, let’s play a bit."
Xi Rubao cheered, "Sister, I used to love helping Third Brother gamble on antiques and stones and was almost always right!"
It’s just a pity that the last mistake almost caused Xi Chansha to go bankrupt, and after she lost her Jinli luck, there was no more chance to play, boo-hoo.
"Great!" Qiu Guosheng proudly said, "The stones we’re betting on tonight were appraised by the famous Treasure Appraiser S in advance. There’s a lot of treasure that could reveal good jade; a bet won’t disappoint!"
"Treasure Appraiser?" Zuzi casually asked.
Qiu Guosheng proudly introduced, "Master S is our seasoned partner; other auction houses can’t even invite her. If she appraises the treasure in advance, what comes out is definitely a surprise..."
Zuzi waved her hand, "The ancestor just finds the name a bit strange. With so many inherited surnames, someone actually uses a Western letter?"
The ancestor doesn’t quite get it.
Is her handed-down surname not nice enough?
"Haha, you’re quite humorous, dear guest. The name Master S uses is just a pseudonym!"
"Oh? And what’s a pseudonym?"
"It means not wanting to reveal one’s true identity, covering up with a pseudonym to act cool. I’m told there’s a trend in the capital of chasing after the Bosses of Ma Jia!" Xi Rubao eagerly replied this time.
"Oh dear, while the stones for gambling are well appraised, they obviously can’t compare to the dear guest’s ten-thousand-year Dragon Stone kind, ahem..." Qiu Guosheng tactfully added.
Zuzi was indifferent, "Mmm, just playing around."
The auction night is about to start.
But Bao Gucheng’s figure hasn’t appeared in the VIP-6 box yet.
Gu Shiyin sat composedly on the sofa, but her gaze couldn’t help glancing toward the door.
One minute before the auction starts.
The door was politely knocked open.
Yin Hu and Chen Long appeared first at the door.
Gu Shiyin’s heart jumped with the premonition that Bao Gucheng was right behind them, quickly stood up, and spoke in a familiar and gentle tone:
"Brother Hu, Brother Long, Mr. Bo..."
