Chapter 178
Chapter 178. Outcome
There are a total of 920 pieces of Daya Zhai porcelain. Although it cannot be true that all of them are for the imperial court, such things as rouge boxes are special and cannot be just used as furnishings.

In addition, the painting is the original painting of Cixi, and no one dares to use it except for her.

This truth was originally very simple, but You Zhengxing was just unwilling to do so, so he just wanted to use strong words to justify it.

I saw his face turning red and white, and he said bitterly:

"All in all, the origin of this thing is unknown, and what I said just now is all guesswork. It has not been confirmed. If I want to admit defeat, it is absolutely impossible!"

Everyone showed contempt when they heard the words. Although he knew that Yongrongzhai's life and death were at stake, he would not easily admit defeat, but it is rare to say such a cheeky thing.

The implication is to deny it to death.

Qu Zhinong snorted, and pointed at the merchants in Tiangong Street behind him:
"Mr. You, although you are no longer in the Chamber of Commerce, you have not left Tiangong Street. Now that so many colleagues are here, does that mean that we judged unfairly and deliberately made things difficult for you?"

"President Qu said that although everyone is a businessman, they are also half-collectors at heart, and they hate to mistake a deer for a horse and to confuse the real with the fake. We still have this bit of integrity."

"One size is one size. No matter how uncomfortable we are with you, we won't open our eyes and talk nonsense. If Mr. Ren hadn't made the front and rear joints clear just now, we wouldn't be sure that this thing is Cixi's rouge box."

"That's right, if you lose, you lose. If you open up and admit it, you're still a man. Otherwise, if you just keep messing around, you won't have to hang out in the circle in the future."

All the merchants followed closely and chattered.

You Zhengxing lowered his gaze, and slowly swept the crowd around:
"Who said I lost? Let me ask you, how is the gambling situation now?"

"Five to four, Mr. Ren won one more round than you, isn't that enough to understand?"

"Hmph, so what, who made the rules just now, a total of ten rounds?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned, and immediately remembered that Ren Pingding's gamble had to be counted for ten rounds, and now it is one round short.

But the things he bought back just now were only nine pieces in total, so this last round is naturally incomparable.

If so, wouldn't it mean that You Zhengxing won without a fight?

While everyone was still hesitating, You Zhengxing laughed out loud:
"Hahahaha! Now it's five to four, but he didn't even have anything in the last round. How can he compare with me? According to the rules, it's at most five to five. We shake hands and make peace!"

As he said that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he stretched out his hand to Ren Ping, signaling both sides to stop fighting.

Being tied in such a good situation, everyone thought that Ren Ping must be extremely annoyed, but he looked calm and calm, and of course he didn't really shake hands with You Zhengxing to make peace.

You Zhengxing sneered slightly:
"What? Mr. Ren made his own rules, so if you want to talk, it doesn't count?"

"How come?" He smiled.

"That means you still remember your father's death and you don't want to reconcile with my enemy? Hey, it's not a big deal, the so-called reconciliation is just talking about today's events. You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you ,"

"All bets are void. As for the rest, we are still colleagues in the same circle, and we will inevitably meet in the future."

The meaning of the words naturally means that the two sides will still be mortal enemies when they meet in the future. Yongrong Zhai is also at odds with the Ren family.

Ren Ping couldn't help but sneer when he saw his face of a villain who thought he had succeeded:

"I'll talk about this later, Mr. You seems to have forgotten one thing."

"what?"

"My gamble is called Jade and Stone Burn. The great thing is that apart from those bets, every round of the competition is also a big gamble. Don't you feel that something was missing in the round just now?"

When he said this, everyone remembered that You Zhengxing had lost the round just now, but the round jar of Xianzhi longevity peaches hadn't been smashed yet, which was not in compliance with the rules, so they all looked over at once.

The corners of You Zhengxing's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at the circular vat in front of him, thinking that this was real Dayazhai porcelain, not comparable to the three pieces just now. If he smashed it, he would lose at least 800 million. How could he do it? hand?

But if he doesn't smash it, it's tantamount to admitting defeat. What will be lost at that time will not be 800 million, but the entire Yongrong Zhai, which is his hard work of nearly 20 years!

Struggling endlessly in his heart, he dropped his palm on the rim of the round jar and moved it back and forth a few times. Finally, You Zhengxing became cruel, and lifted and dropped his clenched hand. With a bang, the tiles splashed everywhere.

This crisp sound is definitely the most expensive in the history of Nanling's collection, and it is also the harshest sound You Zhengxing has heard in the past 50 years.

As soon as the sound fell, his face was livid, and he stared at Ren Ping fiercely:

"Five to five tie, can it be over now?"

"It's over? Isn't there still the last round?" Ren Ping smiled.

You Zhengxing was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant, and immediately frowned:

"What kind of tricks are you playing? Don't you have something to compete with?"

"Where's Mr. You, do you have any?"

"Of course I have."

You Zhengxing snorted, originally wanted to find a random one in the store, but after thinking about it, he asked his subordinates to go to the lower floor and push a trailer over, which also contained a piece of Daya Zhai porcelain.

This item is very familiar to everyone, it is exactly the same as the modern craft porcelain he took out in the first round, it is called the Yellow Ground Pastel Butterfly Pattern Basin, but now it is obviously the real thing.

Ping'er on the side frowned secretly:

"Miss, we have seen this item before. Wasn't it bought by a collector in the capital? Why is it here?"

Wang Pei thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head:

"I also find it strange. It seems that this You man has some connection with the capital circle, but it doesn't matter. This person is very stupid, and he gave away a treasure for nothing to make people watch."

Before the words finished, You Zhengxing pointed to the butterfly basin and said coldly:

"This is the last piece of porcelain. As I said just now, the Capital Auction House sold for 900 million yuan. It's genuine. Don't say I'm fooling you with nothing. Where's your stuff?"

"Naturally I have mine too. I can't compare air with You Zong."

"What? Didn't you just say that you only found nine pieces?"

You Zhengxing was startled, vaguely realizing that he had been fooled again.

Before Ren Ping could speak, Wang Pei stepped forward and glanced at You Zhengxing:
"Who said it doesn't exist? Isn't this the case?"

As he spoke, he took a piece of porcelain from Ping'er and held it in front of him.

Everyone looked at it in astonishment, only to feel that at first glance it was somewhat similar to the rouge box just now, not the shape or craftsmanship, but the pattern.

When you take a closer look, the same yellow ground pastels and the same plum blossoms are also Cixi's picture of plum blossoms falling under snow in early winter!

Everyone's surprise was not trivial, and they thought that the rouge box was not an isolated item, but a piece of porcelain in a complete set, and it was most likely also bought by You Zhengxing at that time.

As for the object itself, it is not difficult to recognize, a square six-sided porcelain box, about the size of a stone.

There is also a cover on the top. After opening, there is a metal bracket on the upper layer, and a rectangular mirror is hung on it. The lower layer has several drawers of different sizes, which seem to be used to store some small jewelry and other sundries.

This kind of thing was very common in ancient times, called dowry, which was used by women to make up and dress up on the dressing table. Later, because of the addition of an inner mirror and a few more small drawers, it was also called a mirror box.

The most special thing about this object is that it is not made of commonly used wood and lacquerware, but more luxurious porcelain.

But thinking about it the other way around, this thing is clearly the same as the rouge box, and their owner is the Empress Dowager Cixi, so it is reasonable to spend extravagantly.

With the previous rouge box, this dowry does not need to be appraised, everyone knows it is true, and immediately shook their heads in admiration, thinking that this thing is ingenious, and the value is still higher than that of the rouge box, the two together may be more than 5000 million .

The most important thing is that in this way, You Zhengxing has lost, and in such a way, he has lost completely.

At this time, You Zhengxing's expression was dull, he didn't even have the courage to refute, he stared at the porcelain dowry in a daze.

Wang Pei raised his hand and smiled at him:
"What, Mr. You? Don't you forget? You brought this back together when you were looking for that rouge box. The two are a set."

Before he finished speaking, You Zhengxing fell back with a bang, but fortunately the long table behind him stopped him from falling to the ground.

He knew that the overall situation was settled, and he would humiliate himself if he continued, but he still couldn't help it:

"Since the thing belongs to Ren Ping, why is it in your hands?"

"Ah, what are you talking about, Mr. Ren was hard to carry when he went upstairs just now, please ask me for help."

Wang Pei laughed. In fact, this piece of porcelain was Ren Ping's compensation to her, and it was already her property, but of course he wouldn't say it at this time.

"Is this really what Ren Ping just bought downstairs?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask your people."

"How much did it cost?"

"This, are you sure you want to know? I just looked at the price on purpose, a total of 650 yuan."

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers playfully.

Hearing this, You Zhengxing couldn't bear it any longer, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, this was caused by his anger, it is called urgent fire attacking the heart in Chinese medicine.

Although Qu Zhinong and others despised him very much, they couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed seeing this scene.

It's fine to lose, the key is to lose too badly, smashing four pieces of porcelain one after another, adding up to more than 1000 million, and that's not counting the butterfly basin that hasn't been smashed yet.

Conversely, Ren Ping only smashed three counterfeit pieces in total, and in the end, the two pieces of top-notch Dayazhai porcelain worth more than 5000 million yuan were bought temporarily from Yongrongzhai.

After going in and out, You Zhengxing probably won't be able to swallow this breath for the rest of his life.

"Mr. Ren, the outcome has been decided, look..."

Seeing You Zhengxing in such a miserable state, Qu Zhinong on the side wanted to intercede, but seeing Ren Ping's expression suddenly turned cold, he stopped talking.

However, You Zhengxing knew that the enmity between the two of them could not be resolved with just one or two sentences, so he could only look at Ren Ping with a ten thousandth hope:
"I lost, what do you want?"

"Mr. You, why bother to ask this question? Wasn't the bet just made clear?"

"Do you really want to kill me?"

You Zhengxing paused for a moment, then confessed:

"Ren Ping, I'm convinced, and I'm convinced. In this way, I will release the craftsmen of your Ren family immediately, and I will no longer pester them. I can pay some medical expenses. From now on, you will pretend that you don't know me. How about that?"

"That's all?" Ren Ping raised his eyebrows.

You Zhengxing trembled all over, and gritted his teeth again:
"Also, I promise that from now on, I will withdraw from the Nanling Home Improvement Market, especially the projects related to the Ren family. I will avoid you and never become your enemy. Everyone here is a witness, how about it?"

"This is enough?"

"What else do you want? Are you really going to destroy Yongrongzhai? What good will it do you?"

"benefit?"

Ren Ping laughed out loud: "What good did it do you to join forces to kill my father half a year ago? Do you think this account should not be settled?"
