Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

The choice is before him and Liu Zhaoqing must make a decision.

He knew that once the matter was made public, it would be almost impossible for him to gain a foothold in the market with his current reputation. There seemed to be no other way out except to accept Shang Baochang's proposal.

When Liu Zhaoqing heard this, he almost vomited blood on the spot. The current situation is indeed tricky:

The stores are all rented, and the company’s most valuable assets are its inventory of products.

Although he can file for bankruptcy, the bank will not take over the gold and silver jewelry at the market price, but will recycle them based on the weight of the raw materials - this is still the best case scenario.

Once the settlement period is exceeded, liquidated damages and penalty interest will follow.

What’s worse is that not all banks are willing to recycle these products, especially those exquisite crafts.

Want to sell it at a high price? Who will take over such a hot potato at this time?

With its reputation ruined, the price was naturally pushed down again and again. It was considered lucky if it didn't cause internal bleeding.

The boycott is such a ruthless move. One wrong step leads to all the wrong steps. Playing dirty may feel good for a while, but the price is so heavy.

Liu Zhaoqing gritted his teeth and finally decided: "Forty million, I will sell it for forty million."

Adding the rough stone I opened earlier that might break even, the total is close to 50 million. At least this way I can feel better.

"OK, no problem."

Shang Baochang agreed immediately, but then changed the subject: "I'll give you the two rough stones for eight million, plus thirty-two million. If you accept, then sign the contract. Otherwise, forget it."

In this way, Shang Baochang directly threw the loss to Liu Zhaoqing. Liu Zhaoqing clenched his fists, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll sell it!"

After deciding to sell the company, Liu Zhaoqing felt relieved.

He figured it out. Retiring early was better than being doomed to lose everything. While Shang Baochang was preparing the agreement, Liu Zhaoqing tried to sell the rough stone immediately.

"I remember you just offered 10.2 million. This price is acceptable. I will sell the material to you now!" Liu Zhaoqing said.

However, the jeweler looked at him with disgust and said coldly: "I changed my mind and I won't buy it."

Liu Zhaoqing's face was extremely ugly, but he still tried to explain with a smile: "I just apologized, it was just a misunderstanding, and Mr. Xing didn't say anything. We can still do business."

"Who the hell wants to do business with you? Get out of here. I'm annoyed just by looking at you!"

Liu Zhaoqing wanted to say something, but the jeweler had already turned away, not giving him a chance. Faced with the hostility of the crowd, who would be willing to do business with him?

In desperation, Liu Zhaoqing turned to another jeweler: "You just offered 10.1 million, I think we are destined to be together..."

"Whoever is destined to be with you, get out of here."

Liu Zhaoqing's face became more and more gloomy. He gritted his teeth and went back to a few people who had given him quotes before, but the result was the same - no one wanted to pay attention to him.

Everyone treated him coldly, without a trace of friendliness.

Just when Liu Zhaoqing was feeling desperate, a middle-aged man approached quietly and asked softly, "Do you want to sell this material?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing felt a glimmer of hope and quickly responded:

"Yes, it's from Zhu Daqing Jewelry, right? I heard someone offer 10.2 million just now, but I think you are a destined person, so I am willing to transfer it to you at the cost price of 9 million."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, seemingly not buying Liu Zhaoqing's words. Seeing this, Liu Zhaoqing hurriedly added:

"If that's okay, you can pay directly and take the material away right away. There are two other pieces of material. If you are interested, we can discuss it together and guarantee to give you the lowest price."

However, the middle-aged man sneered and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect you to have the nerve to sell materials here. Your face is thicker than that of the raw stone."

"What did you say?"

When Liu Zhaoqing heard this, he was furious and grabbed the middle-aged man by the collar involuntarily.

"Ouch, someone is hitting someone!" the middle-aged man shouted.

Liu Zhaoqing was startled and quickly let go, saying, "I didn't hit you, don't make trouble here."

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on them. The middle-aged man straightened his clothes and said loudly: "I, Zhu Daqing, am willing to buy the three pieces of material in his hand for one yuan!"

Before he finished speaking, there was laughter in the venue. Then, more people joined in the joke, bidding higher and higher, but the highest was only 8.90 yuan.

Someone warned: "Although the bidding is fair, if anyone bids more than ten dollars, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Then let's all contribute 9.9 yuan," another person suggested with a smile.

Liu Zhaoqing's face turned pale. He certainly understood these people's intentions - this was a way for the jewelers to unite and suppress him. Anyone who dared to buy his materials would be regarded as an enemy.

Liu Zhaoqing was so angry that he was shaking all over, knowing that it was impossible to sell the material at the public auction today.

At this time, Shang Baochang returned with the agreement. Hearing the laughter from the audience, he also started laughing and offered the same price of nine dollars and ninety cents.

Liu Zhaoqing was completely enraged. He took the document handed to him by Shang Baochang, hastily signed and stamped it, and threw it back to him without saying a word. He just glared at the other person fiercely.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Liu Zhaoqing arranged for the staff to push away the three pieces of material that belonged to him, and then he hurriedly left the scene.

At this moment, what else can he do except leave?

Do I have to continue staying here to be laughed at, criticized and humiliated?

As for the 32 million, he was not worried at all. After all, there was a contract guarantee, and he secretly hoped that Shang Baochang would breach the contract.

Before leaving, he went to Xing Zheshen to say hello, fearing that the other party would trip him up behind his back.

Given Mr. Xing's prestige in the industry, if he really did this, it would be difficult to sell the material. This is probably what is called "judging a gentleman by one's own mean standards."

However, Xing Zheshen didn't even look at him, his entire attention was focused on the raw stone that Zhou Qi had just cut.

The knife skills are extremely precise! Any more would damage the material and cause heavy losses.

It is no exaggeration to say that this knife is a stroke of genius and not something that ordinary people can do.

Xing Zheshen nodded in approval, and asked Zhou Qi with admiration in his eyes: "Young man, can you tell me how you determine the position of the knife?"

Zhou Qi kept smiling and answered: "Mr. Xing, if I say it's based on my feelings, can you believe it?"

"Feeling?" Xing Zheshen paused.

Su Rui added, "Mr. Xing, I don't mean to be perfunctory with you.

To be honest, I don’t know much about raw stones. This is the third time I’ve opened a stone.

I chose this rough stone purely based on my feeling. I thought it was particularly pleasing to the eye, and luck played a big part in it.”

Of course Xing Zheshen would not easily believe such an explanation.

If the rough stone was chosen by luck, he could still accept it; but could such precise cutting be attributed to luck?
