It had to be said that Luo Qiu was very observant and had a powerful ability to stir up the atmosphere. In just a short half an hour, he had already auctioned off more than ten pieces of items. The original price of ten million was now raised by a few words from her, raising the price by several million.

Chen Yao thought to himself, could this woman have earned a commission? But wasn't she an undercover agent of the National Security Agency?

Li Mengran was not interested in these things. The reason she came here was to find a chance to be with Chen Yao, so she did not bid. Instead, she sat beside Chen Yao and secretly observed him.

Of course, she didn't notice that Sun Tongtong, who was sitting by the side, was also sizing her up and Chen Yao. Sun Tongtong's face was not looking good.

Chen Yao wanted to buy one or two things to play with. However, the one million in his pocket was probably not even enough for his intermediary fee. Therefore, he could only doze off in boredom.

However, an item soon attracted Chen Yao's interest.

On the auction platform, there was a green stone the size of a millstone.

Luo Qiu said as he looked at the crowd.

"This is a piece of ore that an emerald tycoon in Yunnan entrusted us to auction. When he bought it from the local villagers for 8 million, today the starting price is 10 million."

"Stone gambling?"

Hearing this, everyone in the auction hall had a surprised look on their faces. They never thought that the auction would be selling ores today. Although they were experts in antiques, they did not study much about jadeite.

However, they all knew that there was a saying of "one blade is poor, one blade is rich" in Yunnan.

People there liked to buy ores that had not been opened yet, several millions to buy a head-sized stone, if one was lucky enough to grow a good emerald, it was not impossible to increase it by several tens of millions, but if one was unlucky, they would spend several tens of millions to buy a crappy rock, so it was not impossible for them to go bankrupt.

The risk of gambling was quite high.

Before opening the ore, no one knew what the result would be.

On television, the audience members who were watching the live broadcast on their phones also began commenting.

"How could anyone buy a big rock?"

"That's right, the starting price is 10 million. If it is sold for 30 to 40 million and the result is a broken stone standing on end, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

Clearly, no one was optimistic about buying this ore.

The rich merchants of the Huangjiang Province and a few rich merchants of the other provinces looked at each other in dismay. No one bid first.

They could afford 10 million, but if they couldn't bring out the jade, they would lose a lot of face in front of the entire country. They would spend another 40 to 50 million to buy a real antique, and the audience would say that they were rich, that the group, and the family were powerful.

But if they spent ten million to buy a useless piece of rock, people would only say that their brains had been kicked by a donkey, and that the reputation of the corporation would be ruined in the future.

A minute passed, and there was no one bidding.

No one dared to bid, no matter how much hype Luo Qiu created. They could afford to pay but they could not afford to lose face.

Zhang Judong wanted to bid, but he was met with a fierce glare from the wubo. In the end, he did not dare to bid, and he had some brains, so he knew what the stakes were. If he were to lose face for the Zhang Family in front of the entire audience, he would probably lose his position as the successor of the Zhang Family.

"Who would buy a broken stone?" Li Mengran pouted.

However, she discovered that Chen Yao had a pleasantly surprised expression on his face. Even through her hand that was tightly holding Chen Yao's hand, she was able to sense that Chen Yao's body was trembling in excitement.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Mengran looked at Chen Yao anxiously, thinking whether or not Chen Yao was sick.

Who knew that Chen Yao would suddenly turn around and look at her.

"Can you lend me 10 million?"

Li Mengran was startled, and then said in surprise.

"You don't want to buy this broken stone, do you?"

"Broken stone?" Chen Yao revealed a strange smile and declined to comment.

He thought to himself, "How is this a broken stone?" It was a genuine high-quality jade, a Dragon Stone Seed that was even more precious than glass.

Although it wasn't big in size, it was still jade and gold was priceless. The conservative price would not be less than 100 million, and if it were to be made into a finished product jade ornament, four to five hundred million wouldn't be a problem. If he could get this jade piece, he would become a billionaire in a single leap.

Ma Wu Ye grass is not fat, people are not rich.

How could Chen Yao let go of such a huge sum of money?

Although Li Mengran really wanted to advise Chen Yao, he was afraid that Chen Yao would misunderstand and think that she was underestimating him.

"No matter what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally."

"There's 20 million here, it's my private money. Don't say that I don't want to borrow it, just treat it as my investment. If I lose it, it's mine."

Li Mengran handed a bank card to Chen Yao.

was moved by his attitude. In Li Mengran's heart, he could do whatever he wanted, what was there to be afraid of? She, Li Mengran, lost face along with Chen Yao.

Chen Yao received the bank card.

"Thank you. Trust me, your investment will yield an unexpected return."

Although Li Mengran did not think about anything in return, what kind of reward could a crappy stone give? But she nodded.

Luo Qiu looked around and his eyes couldn't help but show disappointment. It seemed that the ore couldn't be won, but she secretly said in her heart that only a fool would be able to take this stone.

After looking at the three experts, she shook her head helplessly. No matter what she could say, she couldn't turn the stone into gold.

Forget it.

Luo Qiu was still smiling.

"Since no one bids to buy this ore, we will take it back. If someone does bid on the jadeite in the future, please do not regret it."

No one moved.

Just as the few staff members were about to carry the ore down, a loud and clear male voice rang out, shaking the entire hall.

"Ten million, I'll take it."

Someone actually bought it? Everyone in the audience was dumbstruck. The audience members in front of the live broadcast platform were stupefied.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the figure that stood up.
