Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang
Chapter 618: Under Control
Shang Baochang thought to himself, isn't this just asking him to admit defeat?
"If you, Mr. Xing, say that we should just stop here, I have no objection,"
Shang Baochang narrowed his eyes and said, "But I admit defeat directly. I cannot agree to this request!"
Shang Baochang felt that admitting defeat directly was tantamount to giving up all dignity.
"How can I admit defeat with just one sentence from you?" he thought to himself.
"Shang Baochang, you don't even give face to Mr. Xing. Have you considered the consequences?" Lu Huanian warned.
Shang Baochang looked at Lu Huanian and said angrily, "I can understand if you didn't help me, but now you are turning against me. Do you still have any conscience?"
"Please be polite. I don't want you to lose too badly, so I'm giving you a way out." Lu Huanian responded.
"I don't know a damn thing!"
Shang Baochang couldn't help cursing: "If I continue to gamble, I at least have a chance to win; now you ask me to just admit defeat, do you think it's possible?"
"In that case, I won't force you." Xing Fushen said, and then he walked forward using his crutches to support his body.
Liu Zhaoqing said proudly: "Shang Baochang, there will be a lot of media present when the bids are opened the day after tomorrow. According to the agreement, you have to apologize to me publicly at that time. Remember to be there on time."
Although Shang Baochang knew that his chances of winning were slim, he was unwilling to give up: "Don't think you're sure to win. Let's wait and see."
"You are really confident."
Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "But I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time."
Then, Liu Zhaoqing turned to Zhou Qi and said, "Mr. Zhou, I admire your attainments in antiques.
Since Shang Baochang lost this time, I think you should stop helping him. Why don't you join us? We can negotiate the price."
I haven’t finished speaking yet…
In a corner where a group of people were watching, Lu Huanian commented disdainfully: "He doesn't know how to gamble on stones. He lost money on the two rough stones he picked before. The stone he is eyeing now is also worthless."
After hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing said with great interest: "Oh? Then I want to see what Mr. Zhou can do.
How about this, I will buy this stone for a hundred dollars, and you can also learn from Master Xing and Master Lu. This opportunity is rare.
How about this, Mr. Zhou, do you think I am taking special care of you?"
Zhou Qi had no intention of paying attention to these matters.
He didn't want to get involved in the bet between Shang Baochang and Liu Zhaoqing, and always focused on the stone he had chosen.
But Liu Zhaoqing's provocation made him unable to help but chuckle and responded: "Go away."
Liu Zhaoqing's face immediately darkened: "Well, you are quite courageous. Since you don't know what's good for you, you will see what happens when the bidding is opened."
He gave Shang Baochang a warning, gave him a vicious look, and then he and Lu Huanian helped Xing Fushen leave.
Shang Baochang stayed where he was, his face changing from gloomy to bright, feeling both angry and powerless.
He knew something about antiques, but only a superficial knowledge of gambling on stones. Although his son knew a little, how could he compare to those experts?
Zhou Qi didn't care about Liu Zhaoqing's actions at all. He turned to Du Bowen and asked, "Brother Du, do we just need to bid according to the number on the rough stone?"
"That's right. If you want to be more secure, you can bid a higher price. In the end, the highest bidder wins," Du Bowen explained.
Shang Baochang interrupted and mentioned what Lu Huanian had just said, implying that the stone selected by Zhou Qi had no room for appreciation.
But Zhou Qi interrupted him and said, "That's his opinion. If everyone listened to him, he would become the authority in the gambling stone world. Why would he have to pretend to be so?"
Despite what he said, Shang Baochang knew in his heart that Zhou Qi was indeed not as experienced as Lu Huanian.
Seeing that Zhou Qi insisted on his own opinion, he was helpless and could only say:
"Mr. Zhou, this time Liu Zhaoqing and I bet 10 million to see whose raw stone is more valuable. It's not that I don't trust you, but you chose such an expensive stone at once..."
Zhou Xiao understood Shang Baochang's concerns and replied, "Mr. Shang, the stones I bought have nothing to do with your gambling agreement. I can't help you with the gambling. Weiwei and I will just go shopping casually."
After that, Zhou Qi wanted to leave. Du Bowen frowned and continued, "Lao Shang, I know gambling on stones is not my strong point. In order not to distract you, I will accompany Xiao Zhou and the others.
You can concentrate on choosing in the next two days. As Xiao Zhou said, gambling on stones also requires luck, so it is not without a chance of winning. "
Shang Baochang nodded in agreement. At this time, Shang Zizhe said to Zhou Qi: "Have you decided? Just this one?"
Zhou Qi smiled and responded: "Yes, this one."
Hearing this, a hint of pride flashed in Shang Zizhe's eyes, as if victory was already in sight.
However, Du Bowen and Shang Baochang did not notice the sarcasm in his words.
They didn't know about the bet.
Looking at the three people walking away, Shang Zizhe felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
In his eyes, Zhou Qi's choice of that inconspicuous stone was simply a way to his own death. An amateur is an amateur after all. Making a decision based solely on the size of the stone, isn't that just giving up?
As for him, since his father lost Lu Huanian's help, the responsibility of selecting the raw stones naturally fell on his shoulders.
With 10 million in funds, any one of them would be enough to make Zhou Qi far behind. He was sure to win this competition.
"Dad, don't worry. I will devote myself to the next two days and will definitely be able to select high-quality raw stones. What are Xing Fushen and Lu Huanian? I want to prove myself with this peerless material." Shang Zizhe said confidently.
Shang Baochang nodded with satisfaction: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Now, he can only rely on his son.
"Just go ahead and do it with peace of mind," Shang Baochang encouraged.
On the other side, Du Bowen asked curiously: "Xiao Zhou, why are you so optimistic about that stone? Did you find anything special?"
"You can say that." Zhou Qi replied.
"You can say that?"
Du Bowen was stunned for a moment, and remembered Zhou Qi's performance at the auction - he always kept something in reserve and did not reveal the answer until the last moment.
That kind of confidence is impressive. At this moment, this feeling comes back.
"Is this also your intuition?" Du Bowen asked tentatively.
"Yes, my intuition tells me that there is definitely something good in that stone." Zhou Qi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Du Bowen smiled slightly. To be honest, he was skeptical about it.
How can there be 100% accuracy in the world? If it were really so accurate, there would be no public auctions. Wouldn't it be easier to just cut and sell the material?
If even the experts can't do it, how can Zhou Qi do it?
Du Qianqian has different ideas.
She didn't care whether the 1.8 million was wasted, but she was worried about the outcome of the bet. What if there was no good material in the stone?
Zhou Qi chose a stone so confidently, could he be deliberately trying to lose the bet?
She complained in a low voice: "I'm warning you, if you lose me, I will never let you go!"
"Don't worry, everything is under control. All you have to do is trust me." Zhou Qi comforted.
