"$1.55 million!" People quickly shifted their gaze away from Ge Dongxu and continued to bid.
"$1.6 million!" Ge Dongxu followed with a bid.
"$1.65 million!" The scene fell briefly silent again before soone hesitantly raised the bid.
"$1.7 million." Ge Dongxu increased the bid without any hesitation.
This rough stone was the second one that Ge Dongxu had his eyes on, and he was naturally determined to win it.
"Damn, who is this guy? Raising the bid like it's nothing!"
"Exactly, whose kid is this? Does he even know what he's doing, just throwing out prices willy-nilly."
"He isn't just spouting random numbers, is he?"
"That seems unlikely, given that he looks about eighteen or nineteen, maybe in his twenties. Doesn't he know you can't just ss around in a place like this?"
"That's not necessarily the case. $1.7 million! Who has that kind of money these days, letting soone so young play around like this! This is gambling on stones we're talking about!"
"$1.72 million." Amidst the murmuring, soone gritted their teeth and placed a bid.
"$1.8 million." Ge Dongxu continued to raise the bid without any hesitation.
This ti, the venue almost exploded, and Ouyang Murong on the stage also looked at Ge Dongxu with an intriguing gaze.
However, he still followed the procedure to ask if there was a higher bid from the floor. Seeing none, he eventually sold it to Ge Dongxu.
"Kid, you better not be causing trouble here! Otherwise, no one can save you!" This ti, the looks that Ayong and Axiong gave Ge Dongxu were not rely unfriendly, but also carried a hint of threat and nace.
They were Master Gu's n and naturally knew why Master Gu had co here. They also knew that even Master Gu had to show respect to the true master of this place as a junior.
Yet, this guy who only drove a beat-up Santana dared to bid up to $1.8 million. If they hadn't seen a lot in their ti and experienced many things to maintain their composure, they probably would have already laid hands on Ge Dongxu.
They believed it was not permissible for anyone to cause trouble here.
Even so, they couldn't help but issue a warning!
Ge Dongxu was slightly taken aback but didn't get angry. He whispered, "I am of age, after all. I know what I can do and what I can't."
Ayong and Axiong were stunned upon hearing this, but their looks still carried a hint of threat towards Ge Dongxu.
It was really hard to reconcile the idea of soone casually bidding $1.8 million with soone who drives a Santana.
The auction continued, and Ge Dongxu fell silent again, not making a bid until the hundredth rough stone. This made so people uncomfortable, and they began to glance at him.
However, at lots one hundred and one and one hundred and fifteen, Ge Dongxu made two more bids, but they were not high; both were only in the tens of thousands.
After his $1.8 million bid earlier, these two bids didn't seem strange to people.
But when lot number one hundred and thirty ca up, Ge Dongxu once again beca the focus of the entire room.
Because this rock was favored by many experts, the starting bid was already $3 million.
Then the price climbed all the way to $5 million, and at this point, the bidding slowed down considerably. Every ti the price went up, the bidders sweat on their foreheads, their voices a bit hoarse.

There was no way around it, five million—even though the people who ca here were wealthy, that was still a large sum. If the jade collapsed in value, they'd have made money for so many years for nothing, returning to square one overnight.
"Five million five hundred thousand," Ge Dongxu saw the pace of the bidding slow and directly added five hundred thousand.
The room suddenly went quiet, and Ouyang Murong's face changed too.
With a bid of five million five hundred thousand, adding to the previous four auctions, Ge Dongxu's utilized funds had neared eight million.
Such a large amount wasn't sothing that most of the jade rchants present could produce, let alone Ouyang Murong himself. It wasn't sothing he could just take out on a whim.
"Young man, do you even have that much money? Don't just blabber!" Finally, soone couldn't hold back and directly called out to Ge Dongxu.
An unfamiliar face, and so young it was almost unbelievable, the casualness of his bidding made everyone suspicious!
Didn't they see that even the representative of Zhou Dafu, when bidding four million five hundred thousand, was already wiping his sweat with a handkerchief from ti to ti?
A youngster, casually bidding five million five hundred thousand, did he really think this was just a numbers ga?
This was gambling on jade, where one had to produce Real Gold and Silver, a single cut could ruin soone financially!
"Exactly, who is your father? Na drop a little," soone jeered at Ge Dongxu.
"Do you even know where you are?"
However, Ouyang Murong, seeing Ge Dongxu's composure in the face of public interrogation, was secretly shocked. He waved his hand to quiet the crowd, then walked down from the auction stage, approached Ge Dongxu, and said, "Sir, may I have a word with you in private?"
Ge Dongxu understood the doubts others had about him, and also understood why Ouyang Murong was doing this. He nodded and followed him to a secluded area in the warehouse.
Before Ouyang Murong could speak, Ge Dongxu had already opened his bag, taking out his acquisitions from the past few days, and said, "I know what Mr. Ouyang wants to ask, and I think this should be sufficient to prove my financial ability."
In the past few days, Ge Dongxu had purchased several stones from Zhang Yaku's friend, and from the market, spending nearly one million seven hundred thousand in total.
With Ge Dongxu's surefire judgnt, the stones he bought for one million seven hundred thousand, once cut, naturally yielded jade worth more than that amount. If he were to sell them on the market, they'd be worth at least five or six million.
Ouyang Murong, capable of running such a big event, was naturally an expert among experts. As soon as Ge Dongxu took out the contents of his bag, Ouyang's eyes lit up.
"I apologize, since this is our first interaction and the amount is substantial, that's why I needed to confirm," Ouyang Murong quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart and expressed his regret to Ge Dongxu.
"It's okay, I understand," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
Then the two returned to the auction scene.
"The gentleman just now bid five million five hundred thousand, is there anyone else who would like to raise the bid?" Ouyang Murong returned to the auction stage and asked.
Everyone was sharp and naturally understood that Ouyang Murong had confird Ge Dongxu's qualifications!
Suddenly, the whole room went deadly silent, and those who just couldn't resist confronting Ge Dongxu sheepishly wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
A youngster casually tossing out a bid of nearly eight million, just how formidable must his family background be!
The looks Ah Xiong and Ah Yong gave Ge Dongxu had completely changed; their expressions were very uncomfortable.
Because not long ago, they had threatened and warned Ge Dongxu!
