Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

So he knocked the ground hard with his cane and prepared to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Liu Zhaoqing hurried off the stage, walked quickly to Xing Fushen, supported him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xing, the stone hasn't been cut yet, where are you going?"

"Your mind is too sinister. If you continue like this, you will suffer sooner or later."

Xing Fushen said: "I have already selected the rough stone for you. The favor I have shown you is over. I will not pursue this matter any further. Let's end it here."

Liu Zhaoqing quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "Mr. Xing, I have no other intentions, I just want to tell everyone that this rough stone was selected by you, and I don't want to bury your contribution.

I didn't expect to make you unhappy. I was inconsiderate. I will pay more attention next time. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."

After hearing this, Xing Fushen's expression eased a little.

"Although it's gambling on stones, what's more important is your character. Forget it this time, but don't do it again.

Besides, I said there is a great chance of getting the best imperial green, but no one can guarantee an absolute result when gambling on stones, do you understand?"

"understand."

Liu Zhaoqing smiled awkwardly: "You said there is a great chance, then it is almost certain."

As he said this, he helped Xing Fushen back to his original seat.

Liu Zhaoqing turned his head and a disdainful smile flashed across his lips.

"Imperial green, top quality!" he thought to himself.

If this stone can be cut into good products, its value will be amazing.

But if he fails, the loss will not be underestimated. However, now he still has to rely on this old expert to help him cut the stone, so he has to be patient when talking.

Zhou Qi returned to his seat, his expression had returned to calm, as if the hostile looks around him had no effect on him.

He knew that cursing would not help, and with his wisdom and self-restraint, he would not do such an inappropriate thing. If he wanted to reverse the situation, he had to use tougher measures.

Shang Baochang said apologetically, "Mr. Zhou, I'm so sorry that you were dragged into this trouble because of me."

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Qi responded indifferently.

Shang Zizhe couldn't help but mutter, "Tsk, why are you pretending to be stupid!"

But he sneered in his heart: You dare to challenge Xing Fushen by choosing such an inconspicuous stone?

Let's see how this ends. He had already imagined Zhou Qi being laughed at by everyone, and this was exactly the result he wanted to see.

Du Qianqian and Du Bowen began to worry. They originally thought it was just a small game, but they didn't expect things to develop to this extent.

Because of Liu Zhaoqing's behavior, Zhou Qi has been pushed to the forefront and is almost destined to be disgraced.

He invited Zhou Qi, and because he helped Shang Baochang, he offended Liu Zhaoqing. Du Bowen felt very guilty and regretted letting Zhou Qi intervene in this matter.

"Xiao Zhou, let me take care of the payment and the raw stones. It's a token of my appreciation." Du Bowen suggested.

Zhou Xiao understood that this was the other party's good intention and was also to cover up his shame, so he chuckled and said, "Brother Du, I have confidence in this rough stone, don't worry."

Hearing this, Du Bowen was speechless for a moment, but he had already decided in his heart that he would bear all the consequences no matter what.

Although Du Qianqian didn't say anything, the worry on her face was more obvious.

She knew that there was not only Shang Zizhe's bet, but also Liu Zhaoqing's targeting. However, looking at Zhou Qi's calm expression, she felt somewhat comforted.

"This time, can he resolve the crisis like he did before?" she thought silently in her heart.

The auction on the stage was still going on. Shang Baochang and his son had obviously adopted a multi-faceted strategy, as they were bidding on more than just this piece of rough stone.

In the end, they won two rough stones, with a total cost of eight million.

In order to increase their chances of winning, they concentrated their bets on one stone, which was undoubtedly a gamble. Soon after, the auction was coming to an end, and the host announced the winner of this auction:

"This year's winning bid is 52 million!"

Although this is not the highest price in history, when this number was announced, the audience still exclaimed in surprise.

For most people, such an amount of money is unimaginable wealth; but for some wealthy people, it is just a small bet for fun.

The winning stone was displayed on the big screen. It was colorful, with yellow, green and purple interwoven, making it particularly eye-catching.

Du Qianqian asked curiously: "What kind of stone is this? Why does it have so many colors?"

Zhou Qi explained: "This is called Fu Lu Shou, because it contains multiple colors and is very rare with the same quality."

Although this stone won the title of the highest bidder, the jade inside it was too scattered and could only be used to make a pair of bracelets and a few plaques.

The rest was only suitable for setting in a ring, and ultimately only about two million could be recovered, resulting in a huge loss.

Afterwards, the ten people who jointly purchased the stone came on stage to receive their awards with smiles on their faces, accepting the media's flash cameras and the audience's attention.

As they walked off the stage, they were immediately surrounded by reporters for interviews.

The host then began to introduce the appraisal team to attract people to the stone-opening ceremony - this was another climax of the public auction after the auction.

The cutting site was now filled with the sound of machines running.

Not every stone can become the focus, and many people can't wait to put the raw stones they bought on the cutting machine to cut them.

The results varied: some suffered heavy losses, while others doubled in value.

Voices of surprise or disappointment were heard from time to time at the scene, witnessing the dreams and realities of countless people.

Some people hugged the stone they had just cut and sat on the ground crying. With one cut, fate changed and the rich and the poor were immediately revealed. All of this was vividly demonstrated here.

Jewelers were busy shuttling between the machines. As soon as the best stones were cut, they would rush in, offering prices one after another, as everyone wanted to buy them.

Various sounds intertwined together, and the scene was extremely lively.

The focus today is undoubtedly the winning stone, as well as the raw stone brought by Liu Zhaoqing and selected by Xing Fushen.

After the auction, people rushed to the cutting area eagerly to wait.

The raw stone must be collected after paying the fee with the winning notice, and then transported to the cutting site by the staff, which takes some time.

When someone shouted "The winning stone is here", everyone's attention was drawn to it.

The ten people who had just gone on stage to receive the bid appeared in the crowd with this huge colorful stone. They were immediately surrounded by curious spectators, almost blocking two-thirds of the entrance.

Then, Liu Zhaoqing entered the venue with his rough stone.

Although it was not the winning stone, it also attracted a lot of attention because of Xing Fushen's approval. As a result, the entire entrance was packed with people.

Zhou Qi's arrival was thus hindered, and he could only stay outside the door. Compared with the other two star rough stones, his stone seemed ordinary.
