Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

He didn't know the specific origin of this object, but he knew in his heart that this treasure was hiding a big secret. Not only did no one discover it at this auction, but no one could recognize its true face in the next ten years. It was not until it was treated as an ordinary object that the truth came to light.

After hearing this, Shang Baochang looked helpless. How dare this man sell something he didn't even know about? He began to wonder if Zhou Qi was just having fun.

Shang Baochang felt very conflicted about whether it was right or wrong to bet on him.

Zhou Qi noticed his confusion, but didn't say much. After all, he had just blocked other people's ridicule for him, and it was normal for him to have some thoughts.

The second exhibit ended in an unexpected way.

Each of the following items had detailed background information and authoritative certificates of authenticity. Under the promotion of the auctioneer, the atmosphere on site gradually became heated.

During this period, Liu Zhaoqing made bids frequently, and each time he would consult the old experts beside him first. Although his bids started high and ended low, and he was very aggressive, he did not win a single item in the end.

In terms of financial resources, there is no shortage of buyers in the market who are richer than him.

And with the guidance of experts, he has a better understanding of market conditions and knows which items can be sold at a profit and which are not worth the price at all.

Whenever Liu Zhaoqing made a quotation, Shang Baochang would follow closely and act completely according to Zhou Qi's plan, intending to raise the price and make Liu Zhaoqing suffer a loss.

The result was that he bought a Qing Dynasty snuff bottle at a high price.

Liu Zhaoqing saw through his plan and said to Shang Baochang with a smile: "Boss Shang, your plan failed and you ended up losing money. Did you come here today just to entertain me?"

"If that's the case,"

"Then you really succeeded."

Shang Baochang's face was very ugly. He had indeed overpaid for the snuff bottle, and had originally intended to raise the price so that Liu Zhaoqing would suffer a great loss, but the timing was not right, and Liu Zhaoqing did not follow suit.

Faced with Liu Zhaoqing's sarcasm, he could not refute a word. He was so angry that his face turned pale and his chest felt stuffy and he was short of breath.

Seeing him like this, Liu Zhaoqing smiled even more, "Why, you don't dare to respond? Come, tell me what you think, and how did your master teach you such a powerful trick? Let me learn it too."

"Shut up!" Shang Baochang roared.

Liu Zhaoqing smiled contemptuously: "In this case, why not admit defeat now, go home and clean up your shop and make room for me. That way, when the auction is over, I will be able to save you some face."

"My friend, you talk too much."

Du Bowen said coldly: "You have already affected my interest in bidding. If you don't shut up, I will ask the security to ask you to leave."

Liu Zhaoqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at Du Bowen sideways, then turned around and ignored him.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm not questioning you, but when will you implement your bidding trick? If you delay any further, it may be too late." Although Shang Zize's tone was polite, his face was full of sarcasm.

"Shut up!" Shang Baochang shouted angrily, his face turning pale.

"Mr. Zhou, in your opinion, do we need to adjust our strategy? Your previous plan doesn't seem to be working very well."

Zhou Qi smiled calmly and asked, "Boss Shang, do you still trust me?"

"Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about?" Shang Baochang responded quickly.

"That's good, let me make the bid next." Zhou Qi said, reaching out to Shang Baochang to take the bidding card in his hand.

Shang Baochang hesitated for a moment, but finally handed the sign to Zhou Qi. He knew that his previous attempt was completely restrained by Liu Zhaoqing, and now he could only trust Zhou Qi wholeheartedly, with no other choice.

"Dad, isn't this too risky?" Shang Zize said dissatisfiedly, "It's our family's store that is at stake, and he is not the one who will lose money. If you do this..."

"Shut up!" Shang Baochang roared angrily.

"Sit still and be quiet. If you say another word, I'll beat you up right away!"

Zhou Qi's identity was not trivial. He was not only the boss behind Reno and Hualong, but his willingness to help was a great favor. Shang Baochang was furious that his useless son was ungrateful.

Although Shang Zizhe kept silent, the anger in his eyes did not diminish. He thought to himself that if he failed in the end, the blame would be put on Zhou Qi, and he would never let him get away easily.

Shang Baochang calmed down his anger and apologized to Zhou Qi: "Mr. Zhou, please don't blame me. It's all because of me who spoiled him."

"It's okay. Young people can't help being impulsive sometimes. It's understandable." Zhou Qi replied gently.

Young people? Shang Zizhe almost lost his temper when he heard this.

"Who are you calling young?"

"Snapped--"

Shang Baochang slapped Shang Zizhe on the head again and said sternly, "If you dare to say anything more, get out!"

Shang Zizhe was so angry that he really wanted to rush up and punch Zhou Qi twice, but when he saw his father's stern eyes, he could only swallow his anger and turn his head away.

On the other side, Du Qianqian was a little worried when she saw Zhou Qi took over the bid, but she knew that Zhou Qi was not a person who would act rashly, so she asked curiously: "Do you have an idea? Don't hide it from me this time."

Zhou Qi looked at Du Qianqian who was as curious as a child, smiled, leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Most of the items at this kind of large auction have been preliminarily appraised, so it's not easy to get a bargain, but there is still a chance to make money."

"Liu Zhaoqing has an expert consultant. This is his strong point, but it has also become his price tag," Zhou Qi continued.

"Have you noticed? Every time Liu Zhaoqing consulted an expert, if the item was expensive, he would listen patiently; otherwise, he would become impatient and quickly decide to give up. From this, we can guess his tolerance for price."

Du Qianqian looked at Zhou Qi in surprise, and smiled: "So you have been observing."

"I didn't observe it particularly. I just took a quick glance and I understood it." Zhou Qi said easily.

"Then why didn't you stop Uncle Shang from buying things at a high price?" Du Qianqian asked puzzledly.

"If I stop him, will he still let me hold up the sign?" Zhou Qi said with a smile.

"Besides, Liu Zhaoqing is not a stupid person. After a few times, he will realize his habits and also discover our strategy."

Du Qianqian laughed after hearing this: "You are really cunning."

"There's something more cunning coming up." Zhou Qi said mysteriously.

"More cunning?" Du Qianqian asked curiously.

Zhou Qi moved closer and whispered, "Actually, we've already won."

"Won?" Du Qianqian was stunned and didn't understand what Zhou Qi meant.

But Zhou Qi did not continue to explain, because he had been attracted by the new item on the stage - it was a very ordinary white small bowl, which looked even simpler than a household rice bowl and even had a small crack.

However, after the auctioneer introduced it, everyone realized that this was a celadon glaze bowl from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty, an authentic item provided by a private collector. The starting price was two million, and the bid increased by at least ten thousand each time.
