Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang
Chapter 616 Full of Confidence
Being teased by Zhou Qi, Du Qianqian was not willing to be outdone. She stretched out her hand and pinched his waist, saying, "How could I know that you are not good at gambling on stones? I thought you were just being modest."
"I don't care. If you lose me to someone else, I will never forgive you!" Du Qianqian continued.
Zhou Qi smiled and responded: "If you lose, you can just refuse to pay the debt, he can't do anything to you."
"you!"
Du Qianqian said angrily: "Don't tell me you are serious, I am fed up with him now.
If I really let him win, then he will have something on me and tell everyone that I am his girlfriend. What should I do?"
"So, now you have to find a way to win this bet."
Du Qianqian said firmly: "I believe you will find a way."
"You'd better have a sure-win method. You're saying this just to piss me off. I warn you, don't joke with me about this kind of thing, or I'll really get angry. Just wait and see tonight."
Seeing her serious look, Zhou Qi stopped teasing her. At this time, his eyes fell on a large rock not far away, which was the target he had been looking for.
"Don't worry, I won't let you lose." He said, and walked towards the stone.
The stone is indeed eye-catching, but most people just take a look at it and shake their heads and leave.
Not only was it huge, almost half the height of a person, but there were more than a dozen cuts on its surface, with only a few traces of green visible in two places.
Obviously, the seller has tried many times and dares not take the risk of cutting it again, hoping to attract buyers with this little bit of green.
The appearance of this stone can't be described as pretty, it can even be said to be ugly.
Insiders know that top-quality jade mostly comes from old mines. Although many items on the market claim to be old ores, they are actually mixed with a lot of new ores, which are often difficult for non-professionals to distinguish.
And the raw stone in front of us comes from a new mine.
Du Qianqian noticed that Zhou Qi was examining the stone carefully. This was the first time he showed a serious attitude since entering the market, so she asked, "Do you like this one?"
"Well, I think it's good, maybe top-notch stuff." Zhou Qi said frankly.
He compared the features of the stone in front of him with those in his memory and confirmed without a doubt that this was exactly what he was looking for.
"The starting price is 1.8 million, which is not high, but I see that most people are not optimistic about it. Is it just because of its large size?" Du Qianqian said.
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "The larger the volume, the more material will come out."
What reason is this?
Du Qianqian stared at Zhou Qi and asked seriously: "Tell me honestly, do you really know how to gamble on stones? Don't lie to me."
"don't know."
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "But my intuition tells me that this stone is very valuable. It is definitely the most valuable here."
Du Qianqian looked at the big rock again and then looked at Zhou Qi.
"Is your instinct as good as it was at the last auction?"
"That's right." Zhou Qi replied.
Du Qianqian thought about it carefully and said, "So you plan to use this stone to gamble with Shang Zizhe, and not choose other more reliable ones?"
"It depends on how much you trust me." Zhou Qi said.
Du Qianqian sighed softly: "I am already yours, do you believe me or not?"
"Since you are so sure, then it is settled."
The two were studying the stone when Shang Baochang and his group came over: "Mr. Zhou, so you are here."
"Brother Du, Mr. Shang, Mr. Lu." Zhou Qi greeted them one by one.
"Where is Lu Ze? Not with you?" Shang Baochang asked, looking around.
"I just met him in the private trading area. He should be with Shang Zize." Zhou Qi replied.
"This kid keeps pestering Xiao Lu with questions. He must be eager to try his luck."
Shang Baochang said politely to Lu Huanian: "I am really sorry to trouble you this time. Even your grandson has been troubled. I hope you don't mind."
“It’s okay. My grandson has been with me for many years. It should be no problem for me to guide your son.”
Lu Huanian said proudly, then turned his gaze to the rough stone that Zhou Qi was paying attention to.
"This thing is just a piece of junk, not worth wasting your time on."
Du Qianqian frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Lu, this stone is quite large and some material has already appeared on the surface. How can you tell at a glance that it is not a good material?"
Du Qianqian had no intention of offending, but she felt somewhat confused.
Just now Zhou Qi said confidently that his intuition told him that this stone was the most valuable in the venue.
Although the two stones she had chosen before did not produce good materials as she wished, she felt that Zhou Qi might just be well-intentioned and did not want to disappoint her, and did not really have that kind of vision.
Du Qianqian has always been skeptical about Zhou Qi's ability in gambling on stones, so she repeatedly confirmed whether he was really good at it.
However, seeing Zhou Qi so determined at the auction and knowing that he had never let her down, she began to believe in Zhou Qi's vision.
However, Lu Huanian immediately asserted that the stone was worthless.
As an expert invited by Shang Baochang, Lu Huanian obviously has certain insights in the field of gambling stones, which makes Du Qianqian curious about why he made such a judgment.
"What's the use of being big?"
Lu Hua glanced at Du Qianqian with contempt and said, "You don't understand anything. It's a waste of energy to say more. Just know that it's garbage."
Facing Lu Huanian's arrogance, Du Qianqian chose to ignore it and turned to her father Du Bowen and asked, "Dad, if we want to buy this stone, how should we bid?"
Du Bowen looked at Zhou Qi in surprise: "Xiao Zhou, are you really optimistic about this stone?"
"Well, I think it's pretty good." Zhou Qi answered simply and affirmatively.
Hearing this, Lu Huanian was dissatisfied. He had clearly pointed out that this was waste, but they still wanted to buy it. Wasn't this questioning his professionalism?
"Since you say it's good, then explain why." Lu Huanian said in a challenging tone.
Zhou Qi smiled inwardly, and did not directly respond to Lu Huanian's provocation, but said lightly: "Just looking at that layer of green, I feel that there should be something inside."
Zhou Qi didn't want to explain in detail about the professional knowledge of gambling on stones, because even if he did, no one would necessarily be convinced.
He understands that true value is often hidden beneath the surface and not visible to everyone.
"ignorance!"
Lu Huanian criticized: "When gambling on stones, you need to look beyond the appearance to see the essence, not just the surface."
Then, Lu Huanian analyzed the shortcomings of this stone in detail:
It comes from a new mine, so the probability of high-quality jadeite appearing is low, the stone skin is too thick, and the green color displayed by the window is ordinary. Even if it is full of material, it is only worth the cost price, and high-quality jade is almost hopeless.
Zhou Qi still smiled and said nothing, knowing that the rough stone did not look good, which was why it was ignored. If it was easy to detect, it would not have been unsold until it was processed and cut.
Lu Huanian took Zhou Qi's silence as a challenge: "Are you questioning me?"
