After the Cheng Family’s entourage entered the venue, Mr. Cheng turned his head to Xia Lan beside him and said with a smile: "Miss Xia?"
Mr. Cheng’s smile made Xia Lan quite uncomfortable, but she needed to leverage his influence to climb up to the people at the top.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Cheng, I promised that with here, I can definitely help you claim the top prize." Xia Lan smiled insincerely and assured confidently.
"Haha, alright, Miss Xia, today, I’m counting on your performance." Mr. Cheng still smiled as if he was calm and casual.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lan smiled on the surface, but in her heart, she thought: She did not participate in this Jade Conference in her previous life.
However, after entering the Kyoto Circle, she had heard of this conference and rembered clearly which fine jades appeared in it.
Therefore, she was confident in helping Mr. Cheng’s Jinyu Square take the top spot!
She rembered that in this conference, the best pieces were a jade close to Emperor Green, and a Red Jade, numbered 61 and 63, respectively.
Both of these jades had good color and size, but the first piece of Emperor Green, after all, was just close, not as good as the second piece of Chicken Crown Red, which was incredibly clear and pure.
Most people, seeing the pseudo-Emperor Green numbered 61, bid a high price, and by the ti number 63 appeared, they regretted not being able to bid.
So, what Xia Lan needed to do today was to secure number 63 for Mr. Cheng!
anwhile, Xia Chuyi and Fan San arrived at the exhibition platform for number 63.
"Fan San, this enclosed exhibition platform, is it the hidden platform you ntioned earlier?" Xia Chuyi asked, noticing a box draped with a black curtain on platform 63, and turned to Fan San.
"Yes," Fan San nodded and said, "This is a hidden platform."
"Such platforms, on one hand, allow the owner behind the scenes to quietly replace the jade based on the previously unveiled jades."
"On the other hand, it adds a bit of a gambling ntality, leaving people to guess whether it contains sothing good or bad."
Upon saying this, Fan San laughed and said, "It’s probably to make up for the fact that there’s no stone gambling in this Jade Conference."
Xia Chuyi nodded to show understanding.
This conference was organized to encourage the antique market, so stone gambling wasn’t advocated.
After all, stone gambling is too risky; if you don’t win, isn’t it about losing a fortune? Is it promoting jade appreciation or discouraging it?
The so-called hidden platform lets people sowhat rely on experience, insight, and market conditions to determine the ultimate value of jade.
Plainly put, when you see number one and think it’s impressive, you place bids on number one.
But if in the end, number two surpasses number one, it ans your judgnt was off.
In this context, the later the hidden platform, the higher the likelihood of having good jade—however, if a better jade appears before the later platform, the final jade is almost worthless.
After thinking for a mont, Xia Chuyi asked, "Then what number is our hidden exhibition platform?"
Hearing this, Fan San smiled mysteriously and said to Xia Chuyi, "64."
"Number 64? What a coincidence, isn’t that just next to it?" Xia Chuyi asked, glancing at the adjacent platform 64.
Sure enough, he saw that platform 64 was also covered with a black curtain, hiding a platform.
