Chapter 166. Betting against each other!Daya Zhai Porcelain!
"What! Just for this trivial matter?"

Hearing this, You Zhengxing's face suddenly changed color.

Qu Zhinong was full of contempt and disgust:

"I'll say it again, craftsmen are the foundation of our business. Since Mr. You thinks this is a trivial matter, there is no need to stay in the chamber of commerce."

"well said!"

The rest of the people heard this and echoed in unison.

At this time, You Zhengxing naturally also realized that the appearance of Qu Zhinong and others was too coincidental, and it was probably related to Ren Ping, but he couldn't figure it out, how did Ren Ping do it?
Even the former Ren's wood industry should not have such a great energy.

The most important thing is that he never expected that what happened today would end like this. It was simply a shame and a great shame!
"Wait! They are not allowed to go!"

Seeing Ye Shiyun went to help the five injured people again, he suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

Qu Zhinong frowned slightly:
"Mr. You, what on earth do you want to do? As I said just now, usury and life-long contracts are both illegal, don't you know?"

"Whether you break the law or not is up to you. In short, they still have debts to pay off, and no one is allowed to move!"

"Hmph, stubborn!"

Qu Zhinong and the others were all furious, but they were all serious businessmen, and they couldn't really do anything when they encountered a ruthless person like You Zhengxing, and they all looked at Ren Ping immediately.

He looked indifferent, and waved his hand to Ye Shiyun, signaling that he was not in a hurry.

Ye Shiyun knew that he knew what was on her mind, so she didn't force it, but went to the pharmacy downstairs to buy some trauma medicine, alcohol, gauze, etc., to help the five people clean up their wounds.

After buying it back, Ren Ping smiled calmly and said:

"Mr. You, did our previous bet count?"

You Zhengxing was taken aback for a moment, and then he sneered: "Naturally, Mr. Ren is so interested, so the surname You will bet with you."

Qu Zhinong and others didn't know the cause, and asked what the game was.

Ren Ping told the story about the 4000 million yuan. Everyone was puzzled when they heard it. They wanted to spend 4000 million yuan to save a few workers. Even they couldn't do such a thing.

Besides, no matter how rascal You Zhengxing was, he would call the police, there was always a solution, why did he take such a big risk?

"Besides these workers, do you have other bets?"

"That's right, otherwise why would it be worth 4000 million."

"What is it?"

"Boss You and I's property and lives,"

Ren Ping continued the previous words: "If I lose, I will pay Mr. You 4000 million. In addition, Ren's wood industry will withdraw from Nanling, and promise not to get involved in the home improvement industry,"

"If Mr. You loses, it will be the same. The former Ren's carpentry workers will be released unconditionally. At the same time, Yongrong Zhai will leave Tiangong Street. From then on, he will not be allowed to enter the modern handicraft market!"

"What? So ruthless!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, thinking that this was indeed a gamble that cost them their wealth and lives.

Even Ye Shiyun was taken aback, thinking that Ren Ping was really crazy.

But then he realized that he had already given him the list of merchants that killed Ren Junnan when he teamed up with Shanglong Decoration, and Yongrongzhai was on the list, and he would never forget it.

That being the case, from the very beginning of today's incident, Ren Ping had made up his mind to take revenge, one for these tortured workers of the Ren family, and the other for the tragic death of Ren Junnan.

At this time, Ren Ping looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart had already been ignited by the anger of revenge.

So when Yongrongzhai was kicked out of the chamber of commerce, he was still not satisfied, what he wanted was You Zhengxing's ruin, and even Tiangong Street would not allow him to stay!
Ye Shiyun understood the inside information in an instant, but the others didn't. After thinking about it, it seems that Ren Ping's bet is higher.

Qu Zhinong was also puzzled, thought for a while and said:

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Ren, when your father was alive, although I didn't know him very well, we had some friendship. I admire him in the home decoration industry, and dare to hire craftsmen."

"Looking at this sentiment, I would like to advise you that your family's Ren's wood industry has just started to improve, and it is time to get back on track. It is really not appropriate to show off for a while, it is better to think carefully, so as to avoid the previous hard work. It's all down the drain."

"Thank you, President Qu, for your reminder, but this junior is doing this to bring Mrs. Ren back on track."

"Oh? What's the point?"

"It's a long story, President Qu will know later,"

Ren Ping did not continue to explain, but turned to look at You Zhengxing:
"How about Mr. You, do you dare to accept this bet?"

You Zhengxing was silent, paused, and raised his eyes: "What kind of bet?"

"Simple, my game is called 'Jade and Stone Burn'."

"Burning together? What do you mean?"

"Jade here refers to porcelain. Each person prepares ten items that he considers to be treasures. No matter whether it is a bottle, pot, bowl, cup, etc., as long as it is porcelain."

"There are a total of ten rounds. In each round, both sides will take one piece. The president Qu and others present will judge. The one with the highest value will be the jade, and the one with the lowest value will be the stone. The winner wins,"

"If ten rounds end and the game is tied five to five, it will be considered a draw."

"Is there still a draw?" You Zhengxing was taken aback.

"Yes, there is always a fine line in everything. If peace is truly achieved by then, it will be considered God's will. It is hard to violate destiny. I, Ren Ping, will shake hands with Yongrong Zhai and make peace. What do you think?"

Such a gambling method is not only strange, but also bizarre. When everyone thinks that the porcelain that is rated as "stone" in each round of competition will be smashed on the spot, they can't help but feel terrified.

I thought to myself that these porcelains may not be really inferior, but that they are more precious, so once they are damaged, it is really a waste of money.

But in the end it might be a five-to-five tie, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and there was a little more room for the poor to chase after the blood, which made it sound less harsh.

For a moment, the crowd couldn't tell whether Ren Ping was vowing to fight to the death with the opponent, or whether they wanted to make things better, so they looked at You Zhengxing.

I saw that he frowned first and said nothing, followed by a cold smile:
"We have to prepare ten pieces of precious porcelain each. It seems that they are incomparable today?"

"No, it's today." Ren Ping said with certainty.

"you sure?"

"Sure, unless Mr. You says he can't get it all together at the moment."

"Hmph, just now you said that no matter what porcelain is fine, so if I just pick out ten pieces from my Yongrong Zhai, it's okay?"

"of course."

Before Ren Ping finished speaking, Qu Zhinong and the others couldn't help but frown together, thinking that the young people were impetuous, and this time they would suffer a big loss.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, You Zhengxing couldn't help laughing loudly:
"Ren Ping, Ren Ping, in terms of arrogance, you are better than your dead father Ren Junnan! Back then, your father was just eager to expand and offended his peers, so he ended up bankrupt and jumped off the building."

"As for you, besides being crazy, you are also stupid, beyond stupid! I'm not afraid to tell you that in my Grace Zhai, apart from most of the modern handicrafts, there are also many rare porcelains in my collection, and ten of them are rich and surplus,"

"Standing here as a bare-bones commander, you don't have much money, yet you dare to say that you bet with me?"

"Who said I have nothing left to offer?"

Ren Ping ignored the other party's sarcasm, and seemed to know the details of Yongrongzhai very well, so he was not surprised, and immediately pointed out the window:
"This is Tiangong Street. There are many collections of antique porcelain in every handicraft shop. Do you think I don't know? In other words, this is half an antique street."

"You have your own Yongrong Zhai, but I have my eyesight. If I go down and pick ten pieces in a while, I may not lose to your collection, do you believe it?"

"Humph! I'm not ashamed to say it!"

You Zhengxing obviously thought that Ren Ping was trying to scare him.

Not only him, but Qu Zhinong and others on the side also shook their heads repeatedly when they heard the words, thinking that no matter how good your eyesight is, it is almost impossible for you to compare the treasures of other people with the things you buy temporarily.

What's more, Yongrongzhai itself also makes porcelain, as far as they know, the precious porcelain stored in You Zhengxing's store is indeed expensive, no less than some famous porcelain masters.

This gamble was absolutely at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

"Let's talk nonsense, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back within two hours. If Mr. You is worried, you can send someone to follow me to see if I have walked out of Tiangong Street."

"Huh, no need. Even if you have the ability to cover the entire Nanling in two hours, I won't be afraid!"

You Zhengxing said this with full confidence, and even took the initiative to ask the bodyguards behind him to release two workers who were not seriously injured, and follow Ren Ping to do a labor of moving porcelain.

Ren Ping said nothing more, briefly explained a few words to Ye Shiyun, and then led the two of them downstairs.

Ye Shiyun felt uneasy in her heart, and after he left for a while, she couldn't help asking Qu Zhinong and others beside him, but everyone was unanimous in saying that Ren Ping would lose [-]% of the time.

They all shook their heads in bewilderment, not understanding why he would make a bet that was obviously very unfavorable to him.

Ye Shiyun sighed:
"He wants to force the other party to have to bet with him, otherwise, if he doesn't put himself in an obvious disadvantaged position, and the surname You pushes it away, he won't be able to report revenge."

"Then his disadvantage is too obvious. It's a free gift. I've never seen such a bet with anyone."

"Yes, we have heard some rumors about him in the collecting world during this time, and we know that he has a good eye. But when buying and selling antiques, sometimes it depends not on eyesight, but on luck. No matter how good your eyesight is, If you can’t come across good things, what’s the use?”

"That's just one aspect. He underestimated You Zhengxing too much. He only knew that Yongrongzhai made modern craft porcelain, but do you know what kind of ancient porcelain they imitated?"

"Which?"

Ye Shiyun was taken aback. Although she was in charge of Renrenzhai, she was only taking care of people on a daily basis, and she was not very familiar with antiques, let alone subdivided them into categories.

Seeing her expression, everyone knew that she was a layman, and the worry on her face became deeper.

After a pause, Qu Zhinong explained again: "You Zhengxing's Yongrongzhai is an imitation of Dayazhai porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty, which is a famous series in the history of Chinese porcelain."

"Dayazhai? It sounds like an antique shop too?"

"No, the original intention of Daya Zhai is not an antique shop, but a studio, but the owner of this studio has a lot of background. She is the most powerful woman in the late Qing Dynasty, and even the entire Qing Dynasty. Guess who it is?"

"The most powerful?"

Ye Shiyun thought about it and was not sure at first. In the end, she racked her brains and couldn't think of any other answer, so she had to ask tentatively: "Empress Dowager Cixi?"

"That's right, it's her."
