Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang
Chapter 617 Pretending to understand if you don’t understand
"I'm saying all this just to give Mr. Shang face. Young people should learn with humility and not pretend to know something they don't."
Lu Huanian acted as if he was giving someone a lecture.
Du Qianqian thought to herself, who says that only the elderly can understand everything? She decided to trust Zhou Qi's intuition, after all, facts are the best proof.
At this time, a sharp voice interrupted: "Mr. Lu is right, he is indeed an amateur. He bought two stones at a private auction before, but he didn't cut anything out of them."
"Mr. Lu, you don't have to bother with such an outsider."
"That would be detrimental to your status."
As these words fell, Shang Zizhe and Lu Ze walked over.
Shang Zizhe had a mocking smile on his face. He approached and raised the two stones in his hand to show them to everyone, saying:
"Look, this is the stone he chose. No matter how I tried to persuade him, he insisted that it contained top-quality materials."
He exaggerated the story and his words were full of contempt for Zhou Qi.
It turned out that he had just gone back to get the two pieces of cut raw stones just for this moment of revelation.
People looked at the stone in Shang Zizhe's hand.
Shang Baochang took a look and couldn't help shaking his head. Even someone who knew a little bit about this stone would not choose it. Now it seems that Zhou Qi really is a layman.
Fortunately, I did not rely on him, but invited Lu Huanian, otherwise it would have been embarrassing this time.
Although Du Bowen was not an expert in gambling on stones, he understood that Zhou Qi was not good at this when he saw that there was nothing on the broken edge of the stone.
Lu Huanian only took a glance at it and commented: "This is rubbish. Anyone with a bit of experience wouldn't even look at it, let alone choose it."
Faced with such merciless criticism, Zhou Qi simply responded with a smile:
"Mr. Lu, everyone has his own opinion. Luck plays a big part in gambling on stones. I personally think my luck is pretty good."
"absurd!"
Lu Huanian stared at Zhou Qi coldly: "The word luck is something that only laymen would talk about."
"Since you are so stubborn, it is your choice to spend money unnecessarily."
Lu Huanian added, and threatened: "If this stone can really produce top-quality materials, I will never get involved in this industry again."
The people around him secretly sighed in their hearts, is it necessary to say something so decisive just because of a different opinion?
"Mr. Lu, you are going a bit too far."
Shang Baochang tried to ease the atmosphere, but Lu Huanian just walked away. Seeing this, Shang Baochang was worried about offending Lu Huanian, so he hurriedly turned to Zhou Qi and persuaded him to apologize to Lu Huanian.
Zhou Qi was simply amused by these people.
"What does this mean? You want me to apologize to him?" he asked back.
Du Bowen's face turned serious, and he felt that Shang Baochang's words were too much.
"Old Shang, what you said is not right. You also saw Xiao Zhou's performance at the auction before. Since he is confident about this stone, he must have his reasons."
"Sometimes, things are not so absolute. Even experts can make mistakes. How can we easily conclude that this is not a good material?" Du Bowen defended Zhou Qi.
Hearing Du Bowen's angry words, Shang Baochang realized that he might have said something wrong.
But he really found it hard to believe that Zhou Qi had any expertise in gambling on stones, especially when he saw the two stones his son brought - they didn't look like they were made by an expert at all.
"Lao Du, I don't have any other intentions..."
Shang Baochang softened his tone and said, "In any case, Mr. Lu's kindness is genuine. The cost of this stone is 1.8 million, and it is also to prevent Mr. Zhou from suffering any loss."
After hearing this, Du Bowen's expression improved slightly and he replied, "I don't know much about gambling on stones, so I can't help you. I'll just walk around and take a look."
In fact, he was not interested in Lu Huanian, but he did not leave on the spot out of politeness.
"OK then."
Shang Baochang continued, "Mr. Du, Mr. Zhou, please feel free to take a look around."
Shang Zizhe was secretly proud of himself and looked at Zhou Qi provocatively, as if to say: See, this is not an antique market, but my territory, just wait and see.
The father and son were about to catch up with Lu Huanian, but suddenly stopped - Liu Zhaoqing came over with a group of people.
The leader was an old man holding a dragon-headed cane. He had a gentle face and greeted the people around him from time to time. Liu Zhaoqing followed closely behind him, with a fierce look in his eyes.
When Lu Huanian saw the old man, he bowed respectfully and asked, "Old Xing, why are you here too?"
This scene made Shang Baochang's face turn very ugly, because Lu Huanian was the helper he invited, but now he was bowing to the other party, which made him feel like he was also bowing to Liu Zhaoqing.
The old man's gaze then turned to Shang Baochang, and then a group of people approached.
"Are you Shang Baochang?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Hello, old sir, who are you?" Shang Baochang responded politely.
Judging from Lu Huanian’s attitude, this old man’s identity is extraordinary.
Before the old man could speak, Lu Huanian introduced him first: "This is Xing Fushen, the industry leader and my mentor, Shang Baochang, how could you let me go against Old Xing?"
"In that case, I will return your money," Lu Huanian added.
Shang Baochang's face turned pale instantly. He didn't expect Lu Huanian to turn against him directly.
"Haha..." The old man laughed.
Liu Zhaoqing couldn't help laughing and said to Shang Baochang, "Thank you for inviting Mr. Lu for me. This is really ridiculous."
Now, not only is the authority in the gambling stone industry, Mr. Xing, present, but even Lin'an's well-known gambling stone expert Lu Huanian has joined.
With the support of these two, Shang Baochang seemed to be in a desperate situation. Liu Zhaoqing thought that there was almost no need to continue the game - Shang Baochang was doomed to lose.
Faced with this situation, Shang Baochang's face turned very ugly. He questioned Lu Huanian:
"Mr. Lu, even if you have some connection with Mr. Xing, it was me who invited you after all. Is it appropriate for you to do this now? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?"
"laugh at?"
Lu Huanian asked back: "I've already said that it was you who didn't convey the message clearly. You didn't even know who the opponent was, but you asked me to fight against my teacher. Isn't this a joke?"
Shang Baochang was so angry that his face turned pale and he felt extremely aggrieved.
At this time, Xing Fushen began to mediate: "I understand what happened between you. It's actually no big deal. My suggestion is that both sides take a step back and this matter will be over."
Shang Baochang was stunned. He thought that Mr. Xing would support Liu Zhaoqing, but he actually came to persuade them to reconcile.
He hesitated and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Just return the two stores to Mr. Shang and apologize. After all, the terms of this bet are indeed a bit excessive." Xing Fushen explained.
