Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

The crowd is the densest at this time, and everyone is evaluating their bidding and considering whether to increase their bid.

However, no one was interested in the stone that Zhou Qi chose, and only he bid for it, which meant that his chance of winning the bid was almost 100%.

Faced with such a result, Du Qianqian felt mixed emotions.

It was good that there was no competition, but it also suggested that the stone might not be favored. Although she didn't say anything, she felt a little uneasy inside.

She knew very well that if she lost to Shang Zize, he would not give up easily. Instead, he would spread rumors everywhere, making the situation even more difficult.

This time, she felt rare remorse and realized that she had acted too hastily.

But now that things have come to this, the only hope lies in Zhou Qi's judgment - whether there is really an amazing gem hidden in that seemingly ordinary stone.

The day of the public auction opening finally arrived, and the three-day event attracted a large number of jewelers, tourists and media attention.

This is not only a business event, but also a focus of the press, and any exciting discoveries will become headlines.

Seeing the media, Shang Baochang's face turned pale. If Liu Zhaoqing made trouble after losing, or Xing Fushen intervened, what would the scene be like?

Thinking of this, his heart sank even more.

Shang Zizhe took the opportunity to approach Zhou Qi and Du Qianqian, and said with a victorious attitude: "From today on, Weiwei is mine."

He turned to Zhou Qi and threatened: "You will understand how devastating today's failure is. Don't forget to prepare that dollar, and be good at admitting defeat."

However, because his father and Du Bowen were present, he had to contain his pride.

After saying that, he walked away as if nothing had happened. Du Qianqian was dissatisfied and worried when she heard these words.

Although she did not question Zhou Qi again, her inner uneasiness was still noticed by Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi patted the back of her hand, giving silent support. The two smiled at each other, without saying anything more.

Soon after, Liu Zhaoqing and others also arrived, and the two sides' eyes met, and the air was filled with tension. At this moment, words seemed powerless, and everything depended on the final result.

As the host came on stage, the bidding results were gradually revealed, and the rough stones to be cut were displayed on a huge screen.

When the first rough stone was sold for 120 million, congratulations rang out on the scene. But the real climax was yet to come, and the victory or defeat depended on this one move. Everyone's eyes were focused on the next announcement.

The audience were all whispering, looking forward to the fate of the next piece of rough stone.

A middle-aged man stood up excitedly with a smile on his face, waved to the people around him, and then quickly walked to the stage to receive the bid documents.

Whatever the final result, he has won the bid.

The atmosphere on the scene was as warm as an award ceremony, and the music was full of a sense of ceremony.

Of course, not all bids can be displayed on stage in such a grand manner. Only those raw stones worth over one million yuan can receive such treatment.

For smaller bids, the results will be announced directly and the buyer can take the rough stone away after paying.

As the host continued to read out other bids, the prices of all the rough stones increased compared to the reserve price.

After all, things are rare and valuable, and fierce competition will naturally push up the price. But the rough stone that Zhou Qi bid for was an exception. Because no one competed with him, he easily won the bid without raising the price.

When Zhou Qi's winning rough stone was shown on the big screen, there was a burst of laughter in the venue, as if mocking his choice.

People were talking about it and felt that it was unwise to buy the stone for 1.8 million.

However, when Zhou Qi stood up and walked towards the stage, his face did not show any emotion. To him, this seemingly insignificant rough stone was acquired precisely because he did not attract other people's attention.

Coincidentally, Liu Zhaoqing also successfully won the bid for a rough stone worth nine million right after Zhou Qi.

As soon as Zhou Qi came down from the stage, Liu Zhaoqing went up and the two met backstage.

Liu Zhaoqing stopped Zhou Qi, stopped the host, took the microphone and said to the audience: "I just heard some untrue rumors, and I want to clarify for this friend."

“Although this young man is young, he is an expert who has been invited to compete with me.

We will be breaking stones later, and I invite you to witness the showdown and see how I handle this challenge."

There was an obvious provocation in Liu Zhaoqing's words, which instantly made the atmosphere in the entire venue tense. Everyone turned their eyes to Zhou Qi, waiting for what would happen next.

It’s so lively, who would want to miss it?

Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

When he bought the rough stone, he had no intention of involving it in the gambling between Shang Baochang and Liu Zhaoqing.

However, Liu Zhaoqing's move had pushed him to the forefront. It was not a pleasant feeling to be made a fool of in public.

He sneered: "I have no intention of participating in the bet between you. If you do this, I'm afraid you will regret it."

"regret?"

Liu Zhaoqing seemed to have heard a huge joke. He picked up the microphone and said to everyone, "Didn't you hear it? This friend actually threatened to use this rough stone to defeat me. He really doesn't know his own limitations."

He went on to say, "To be honest, this rough stone was selected under the guidance of Senior Xing Fushen, and this friend actually wants to challenge Senior Xing's prestige with such an ordinary stone. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

When Xing Fushen's name was mentioned, the scene suddenly became noisy.

Some people were busy asking about the story behind the name, while others didn't know that the raw stone was originally selected by Mr. Xing.

More people's eyes turned to where Liu Zhaoqing had just stood up.

"Look, isn't that Mr. Xing? He's really here!"

"Where did this guy come from? How dare he challenge Old Xing? Isn't this courting death?"

Zhou Qi frowned slightly.

He knew what Liu Zhaoqing was playing - accusing him of challenging Mr. Xing, not only to humiliate himself, but also to use Mr. Xing's fame to ruin his reputation.

Just look at the reactions of the people in the venue and you will know that with Mr. Xing's reputation, each of his supporters seemed to have a deep hatred for him and wanted to drown him with saliva immediately.

The means are indeed cruel.

Since the other party took the initiative to provoke, there is nothing to say.

Zhou Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, then walked back to his seat silently.

Looking at Zhou Qi's back, Liu Zhaoqing laughed: "Don't worry, hold on, and help me tell Mr. Shang a message. The excitement has just begun, and I want to show you something today."

Zhou Qi did not stop.

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, he went directly to the stage to receive the bid documents.

Xing Fushen, who was in the audience, saw all this and an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

He felt very uncomfortable with Liu Zhaoqing's use of him, especially when facing the various looks from people around him.
