Note: Thank you @Unh0mbre_Dcultura for the two cola's... thank you for giving me the first gift.
Thank you @Benjamin_Negron for the five golden tickets. Guys, tomorrow, there will an extra bonus chapter for receiving my first gift. _ "One hundred and fifty crores..."
As Das assured Ria to buy the sixth stone on the stage, Ria announced one hundred fifty crores for bidding. Most people anticipated the presence of jade inside the sixth stone; that's why its price got raised a bit more than other stones.
Finally, after pushing the price to another thirty crores, Ria won the bidding for the sixth stone. She started shaking and held Das hands tightly while staring at the layering of the sixth stone on the stage.
Das placed another hand on the top, trying to calm her nervous body. Soon the jade surfaced as the top layers were removed skillfully. Ria started celebrating with a cheerful noise.
The crowd started clapping after finding that the jade in the sixth stone is apple jade, which is the finest quality jade used for necklaces.
Ria directly kissed Das cheeks with a joyful smile. Das laughed merrily while touching the red lipstick on his cheeks. Das never expected this bonus from Ria.
After the sixth stone, Das spent another fifty crores to get the seventh stone which has a rare black jade inside. Because of his successive gains, people started bidding on the same rock with him.
Due to this, Das spent another thirty to forty crores extra on each stone. So he decided to ditch some imposters by bidding for an empty rock.
As soon as Max announced the fifty crore bidding price for the eighth stone, Das shouted hundred and twenty crores directly. He showed more enthusiasm and eagerness to buy that rock.
So, people immediately followed him and raised the bid exponentially.
One fifty, one sixty, one eighty... the bald man in the first row directly shouted one hundred and ninety crores without giving any chance to others.
But suddenly a young man in the front row stood up and shouted two hundred crores with a proud face.
"Jethin, what are you doing?" Praveen Verma, Jethin's father, cried out after seeing his son's brazen behaviour.
"Father, believe me. We will definitely gain fine-quality jade and earn a lot through this transaction. My instinct never goes wrong." Jethin said this with an excited face while convincing his father.
Even though Praveen Verma did not like his son's idea, he kept silent as Jethin had already announced his bid. Max immediately took this opportunity and sold the eighth stone to the Verma family.
With a gentle man's posture, Jethin ordered the stone-cutting person to use the layering device to cut the rock. Jackie's father and his girlfriend, Ellen, are watching the stone cutting with more anticipation.
But even after removing half of the layers, only a grey powder remained on the stage. Das started laughing while looking at the stressful face of Jethin, and his father is looking at Jethin's face with a helpless look as he can't beat Jethin in front of all these guests.
Das did not understand why Jethin's father allowed him to transfer seven thousand crores to Shetty family after seeing this silly situation in the Verma family. Finally, after removing the last layer, only a powder remained on the stage.
Immediately after Max's signal, the subordinates cleaned the two hundred crores worth of dirt under a minute. Jethin hid his face, as he could not dare look into his father's eyes. Instead of blaming his stupidity, Jethin thought Das was the reason for everything.
Ellen turned her face and observed Das, who was laughing merrily while playing jokes with Ria. Ellen really felt jealous after seeing the lovely pair and turned her gaze towards his fiancée, who is in a depressed state with his head down.
Soon the ninth rock was sold for one hundred and fifty crores, but it turned out to be an empty stone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the last stone for tonight's auction is before you. It might be your lucky stone, so please don't miss this last chance." Max announced loudly with more cheerful noise.
He announced a starting bid of fifty crores. Das immediately shouted hundred crores without giving others any chance. The auction room went into a deep silence. Most people backed down from the bidding as Das raised the bidding amount in a high margin like last time.
Everyone thought it was a trap and did not try to bid against him. With a depressed face, Max declared the auction result, and Das got the last stone for the lowest amount in the entire auction.
Without even mentioning it, the cutting person started removing the layers of that small rock on the stage. As only dirt formed even after cutting half of the rock, everyone thought Das fell into his own trap.
But Das continued to look at the stone curiously. While scanning the stone, Das found out that the jade inside the tenth stone has a peculiar lustre to it, and it looked more attractive to him.
Some people from the crowd even stood up to leave the auction room as only dirt came out of every layer of stone on the stage. Ria thought Das's estimation failed this time, but before she turned her head to console Das, a green reflection appeared on the stone surface.
The person who was cutting the stone immediately stopped his action. He observed jade for a long time before changing the machine to a rubber-coated trimming machine. He scraped the stone bit by bit, carefully, without causing any damage to the green jade.
"Ria, which type of jade is this...?" Das questioned her by patting her on the shoulder. Ria, who is in a mesmerised state because of the shining green jade, took a moment to answer his question.
"I don't know!..." Ria replied with a plain face.
"Imperial Jade…"
Max announced loudly in the speaker and started explaining like a maniac about the value of Imperial Jade. I
"Imperial jade".... "it's really an imperial jade." People in the front rows started murmuring while observing the fist-sized imperial jade on the stage.
