Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Chapter 625 The target of public criticism

Reporters raised their cameras, ready to capture this moment, but quickly put them down.

"What are you doing? Take pictures quickly!" Liu Zhaoqing urged impatiently.

At this time, a jeweler made an offer: "I am willing to buy this rough stone for 10 million!"

"One hundred and one hundred thousand. I'll buy it." Another businessman responded quickly.

"I'll increase it to 10.2 million."

Hearing these numbers, Liu Zhaoqing was stunned. This price was simply unbelievable. He suddenly realized something and refocused his eyes on the rough stone.

Before, he only saw a hint of attractive green under the illumination of the flash, and he eagerly concluded that it was top-grade imperial green.

However, taking another closer look - the stone is indeed good, but far from the standard of top-grade imperial green.

Xing Fushen approached with a cane, examined it and said, "This is a piece of glutinous jade, and part of it is close to ice jade, belonging to the glutinous ice jade. I did misjudge it at the beginning."

"Mr. Xing, this can't be considered a misjudgment!"

A jeweler said: "After all, it is of good quality, which guarantees the cost and even makes a small profit, so it is not a loss."

"That's because the price you gave was too high."

Xing Zheshen waved his hands and said, "Don't worry about my face, just do what you want. By the way, I have to apologize to everyone for his words and actions."

"Mr. Xing, who is this person to you?" someone asked.

"Oh, it's the child of an old friend." Xing Fushen explained simply.

Liu Zhaoqing felt confused for a while. He realized that the high prices he paid were out of respect for Mr. Xing.

As a practitioner in the jewelry industry, he himself knew that the actual value of this material was far less than 10 million.

The huge wealth he had expected had burst like a bubble, and Liu Zhaoqing felt as if his heart had been hollowed out. The looks from the people around him made him feel uneasy.

With blood boiling in his heart, Liu Zhaoqing grabbed Xing Fushen's arm and pleaded:

"Mr. Xing, please cut it again. Maybe there are better materials inside. We can't just look at the surface, right? Please try again."

Xing Fushen frowned slightly. He had already cut the stone with a whole knife, and cutting it again would only destroy its integrity.

Moreover, from the current point of view, the condition of the entire raw stone is clear and no further cutting is required.

Xing Fushen said patiently: "The quality of this material is pretty good. At least we won't lose money."

"Losing money? Who cares about that!"

Liu Zhaoqing shouted excitedly. He was out of control and grabbed Xing Fushen by the collar, almost yelling, "You lied to me! I don't want to protect my capital! I want the top-grade imperial green. I want the imperial green!"

Liu Zhaoqing would never be so impulsive under normal circumstances. But this time, he staked half of his wealth on a bet with Shang Baochang.

Liu Zhaoqing once declared many times that this piece of jade was absolutely top-grade imperial green.

The result of this stone opening was far from what he expected. Not only was his chance of winning slim, but he also made a fool of himself and the deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars fell through.

It was hard for him to accept this turn of events. It was like winning the lottery jackpot but the winning ticket was blown away by the wind in the blink of an eye. The huge gap almost made him mentally collapse.

"Let go of Mr. Xing!" A hurried shout suddenly came from the crowd.

No one expected Liu Zhaoqing to suddenly lose control of his emotions. Several nearby jewelers were stunned for a moment before they reacted and tried to pull him away, but Liu Zhaoqing held on tightly to Xing Fushen.

The elderly Xing Fushen could not bear such a pull, and his body was shaking. In order not to hurt the old man, everyone did not dare to use force.

"What's it got to do with you?"

Liu Zhaoqing's eyes were bloodshot as he questioned Xing Fushen, "I'm asking you a question! I only invested so much money because you said this was top-grade imperial green. How do you explain it now?"

Xing Fushen was breathing rapidly and unable to respond. He held Liu Zhaoqing's arms with both hands, looking very helpless.

At this time, Zhou Qi squeezed through the crowd, quickly grabbed Liu Zhaoqing's wrist, and pushed him away with a clever move.

Liu Zhaoqing staggered back and bumped into the cutting machine, and the chaotic scene eased slightly.

"Mr. Xing, are you okay?" Zhou Qi asked with concern.

After taking a few breaths, Xing Fushen said gratefully: "Thank you, young man."

Taking the cane from Zhou Qi, he added, "Your father and I have a deep friendship. I will not pursue this matter any further, but from now on, the relationship between our two families ends here."

"Is that the end?"

Liu Zhaoqing said unwillingly: "You must compensate me for my losses, this is cheating!"

The people around couldn't stand it anymore. Someone angrily questioned, "Do you still have any sense of shame? Mr. Xing said a long time ago that it was just possible to get good materials. It was you who insisted!"

"Besides, the jade itself is not at a loss, so how can there be any loss?" another person added.

"If it's not top-grade imperial green, then it's a deception!" Liu Zhaoqing insisted.

This statement aroused the anger of the crowd. Zhou Qi frowned and said, "According to your logic, you just told us that they could all be top-notch stuff. Now the results don't match. How should we settle this account?"

Everyone was stunned, and then someone shouted, "Yes, you took us for fools! You want an explanation, right? Explain it to us first!"

Someone else shouted, "I haven't done anything for more than ten years. If you don't explain the situation clearly today, I will beat you up!"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and everyone was waiting for Liu Zhaoqing's response.

Indeed, he beat up Mr. Xing--he beat him up severely. The scene immediately turned into chaos.

These people are not joking; Xing Zheshen is highly respected in the industry, and anyone who sees him being treated like this will feel heartbroken.

Regardless of age and status, people could not tolerate such atrocities and almost rushed forward to stop it.

But at this time, Xing Zheshen spoke up: "I understand everyone's intentions. No matter what, I have had a friendship with his father and know him well. Let's end this matter here."

Facing the angry gazes of the crowd, Liu Zhaoqing's face turned as pale as paper.

He glared at Zhou Qi, the rage in his heart almost swallowing him up. If it weren't for Zhou Qi's instigation, how could things turn out like this?

He pointed at Zhou Qi and angrily asked, "We haven't settled the accounts between us yet, what right do you have to fight against me?"

"You think I don't know your real intention. You chose a worthless stone and knew you would lose, so you fanned the flames here, right?"

"So what if we don't get top-quality materials?"

"Even with the stone you chose, plus all the stones chosen by the Shang family father and son, you can't beat me."

He has now become the target of public criticism, and not only does he refuse to admit his mistakes, he is also making noises.

If it weren't for what Xing Zheshen said just now, some people would really want to drag him out and teach him a lesson.

Zhou Qi looked at him and asked, "What if I win? You apologize to Mr. Xing and everyone else?"
