Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Du Qianqian looked at Zhou Qi and said, "You really make me nervous. If I don't do as you say..."

"What will happen then?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

He moved a little closer and whispered, "Did you have a good rest last night? Are you looking for a fight again?"

Du Qianqian's face flushed slightly and she glared at him.

Why is this guy always thinking about spanking people?

When she thought of the previous scene, she felt extremely shy. Seeing her silent appearance, Zhou Qi smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.

They came to the bidding place. The auction had just started and people around were still selecting and observing, so it was relatively quiet here.

Zhou Qi gave a number for a piece of raw stone, and the reserve price was 1.8 million. He did not raise the price, but directly called out this number.

Because this stone had failed to sell at auction many times before, Zhou Qi was not worried about having any competitors.

Then, they walked around the venue casually and met Liu Zhaoqing and others again on the way. A group of people were discussing something around a big rock.

Someone recognized Xing Fushen. As an authority in the gambling stone world, his appearance immediately attracted many people's attention. People gathered in several layers, all wanting to see what was special about the raw stone that this expert was interested in.

Shang Baochang and his son were also in the crowd, and they seemed to be studying and collecting information in secret.

This stone is a circle larger than a basketball. The surface looks very attractive. It belongs to the old mine species and has many green lines on it. It is said that some of them almost reach the standard of imperial green.

Therefore, its price tag is quite high - eight million! For ordinary jewelers and ordinary buyers, such a price is too high, unless they can get high-quality jadeite, otherwise the risk is very high.

Most large jewelers prefer to pay for already cut stones, which is more expensive but much less risky.

After all, no one wants to spend millions to buy a stone and end up with nothing, wasting money.

Therefore, only those stone gambling enthusiasts who do not care about the cost will take the risk to bid.

Obviously, Xing Fushen was very interested in this stone. Only a stone of this level was worthy of his status and worth his effort.

Du Qianqian looked at the stone, turned to Zhou Qi and said, "This stone looks much better than the one we bought."

She didn't want to hit Zhou Qi, but from the looks of it, it was indeed the case.

If you compare the two stones together, the one in front of you is undoubtedly more professional.

After hearing what his daughter said, Du Bowen nodded in agreement: "From the outside, it is indeed very good. There is a high probability that it will be a top-quality jadeite, but it depends on whether these lines are really deep inside the stone."

"Dad, you also know this business?" Du Qianqian was a little surprised.

"I know a little bit, but it's all theoretical."

Du Bowen explained: "This thing still depends on luck after all. After all, no one can predict what is inside."

It is true that some stones appear shiny and bright on the surface, but are disappointing when cut.

This is a common occurrence in the gem trade, and at every major auction, there are people who suffer heavy losses due to misjudgment.

Especially for those large-sized raw stones, it is more difficult to judge their internal quality.

Because the stone layer is thick, light cannot penetrate it, unlike small pieces of raw stone, which can be illuminated to improve the accuracy of the estimate. When facing such a large stone, we can only rely on years of accumulated experience.

Not far away, Lu Huanian noticed the movements of Zhou Qi and his group and said sarcastically, "You disdained my advice before, and now you want to steal my advice?"

This attracted the attention of the people around. Shang Baochang then noticed that Zhou Qi and the others were also looking at the same rough stone, so he stepped forward and said, "We are not qualified to learn from someone of your level."

Liu Zhaoqing then joined the conversation, trying to ease the atmosphere, but his tone was full of contempt: "Master Lu, why bother with these people who are not even worthy of talking?"

He stood in front of Zhou Qi and the others, and looked at Shang Baochang sarcastically: "Are you afraid of losing, so you want to follow my choice?

Since you are so afraid of failure, why not admit defeat now? If you apologize to me now, maybe I will consider letting you go. It is worse than making a fool of yourself in public."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shang Baochang responded: "I dare to place the bet and I dare to bear the consequences. I am not like you who begs for mercy after losing."

When Liu Zhaoqing mentioned the past, his face turned red and he felt very embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are only good at talking now. If you have the guts, let's have a real gamble."

Shang Baochang narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do you bet?"

Liu Zhaoqing snorted: "You are not allowed to bid for the rough stones I like. Similarly, I won't touch the ones you like."

Shang Baochang sneered: "Are you so afraid of competing with me? Well, just beg me."

Liu Zhaoqing was worried that Shang Baochang would deliberately raise the price of the object he was interested in, which would put him at a disadvantage in the bet.

Because the bet involved a limit of 10 million, if Shang Baochang pushed the price directly to this upper limit, even if Liu Zhaoqing could win the auction, it would be meaningless according to the agreement.

Considering this, Liu Zhaoqing continued to provoke: "Since you want to play dirty tricks, then we will play to the end. Do you dare to follow?"

Shang Baochang frowned and thought for a while, thinking that Liu Zhaoqing might have set a trap.

"Do you think everyone is like you, liking to use despicable means?" Shang Baochang looked at him with contempt without further explanation.

Liu Zhaoqing threatened coldly: "Just wait and see if you can still be tough the day after tomorrow." After that, he turned and left.

Shang Baochang and his son realized that something was not right and decided not to follow Xing Fushen to look for the raw stone anymore.

Zhou Qi was not very interested in the public auction, and this time he came just for that special stone. After a casual stroll, he left the bustling market.

Diancheng has its unique charm, especially the world-famous Jade Pagoda, the only jade pagoda in the world.

Now that you are here, you certainly can't miss this beautiful scenery.

Although I had heard of it before, the shock I felt when I saw the pagoda with my own eyes was indescribable.

The pagoda is 25 meters high and looks crystal clear in the sun, as if taking people into another time and space. The exquisite carvings and inscriptions are dazzling and the soul seems to be purified.

Du Qianqian lit a stick of incense, then clasped her hands together, silently made a wish, and took out some money and put it into the merit box.

She smiled at Zhou Qi and asked, "Do you want to know what wish I made?"

Zhou Qi replied: "If you speak it out loud, it won't work."

She smiled knowingly and said nothing more, but there was more affection in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Qi.

In the following days, the three of them visited other famous attractions in Diancheng, and time passed quietly without them noticing.

The next afternoon, they came to the auction again to check the bidding status.
