There is always a rival who wants to attack me

Suddenly remembered something, Li Xi picked up his mobile phone and dialed: "I agreed to the rough stone appraisal, but I have a condition, I want Zhan Tianlang to get an invitation card for a VIP seat."

"Okay, as long as Mr. Gu is willing to show respect." The other party's attitude was very respectful.

"Then it's a deal." Putting down the phone, Li Xi made up his mind.

He is too familiar with the design drawing in Zhan Tianlang's hand, it is clearly drawn by Yuan Shen when he was imprisoned by the Zhan family.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that people could be so shameless.

What the Zhan family did to the Gu family, even if they knelt down and kowtowed to the original body to plead guilty, and sacrificed their lives, they would not be able to repay.

But Zhan Tianlang actually tried to use his original talent to recover, this is the real unforgivable crime.

However, since he has made a choice, he will definitely accompany him to the end.

Just hope he doesn't get too sentimental about his stupidity when he reaps the consequences!

-------------------

At this moment, Zhan Tianlang, who received the invitation from the auction house, was also extremely excited.

His plans for the new quarter were not going well, and the biggest reason was raw materials.

Gu Yan was born in an aristocratic family, and his vision was extremely high under the influence of his ears and eyes.

The design drawings he draws all use high-quality raw materials to achieve the desired effect.

If it was in the past few years, he could have directly used the Gu family's mines and obtained local materials.

But right now, Li Xi has recovered, so he can only find another way.

But the door of the Zhan family is too narrow, and his father has always been suppressed, which makes him helpless.

Fortunately, the invitation from the Waters Auction House solved his urgent need in one fell swoop.

Based on the memories of his previous life, Zhan Tianlang knew that in the auction of rough stones at the Waters Auction House, there would be two very inconspicuous rough stones with sky-high prices: one was the delicate imperial jadeite, and the other was the glass-like ink jadeite. .

Because the appearance of the two rough stones was extremely bad, they were not taken seriously, and they were won with only the starting price. Therefore, the sharp rise after the stone was resolved caused a sensation.

Looking at the atlas of rough stones from the auction house, Zhan Tianlang made a mark on the 15th and 20th, and then smiled relaxedly.

Sure enough, there is no unparalleled road, and he is bound to get these two rough stones!

------------------

Waters Auction House

A week later, the auction came as scheduled.

The predecessor of Waters Auction House was an opera house.Although the owner has changed now, the original layout is still maintained.

The cover of the stage set has become the poster of the lot, and the spotlight is still the headlight of the stage play.The rough stone, which was originally dull in color, also looked unexpectedly bright under this kind of headlight, and even had a bit of mystery.

The stage became an auction stand, and a row of crimson roses stood in place of the corner lights, exuding a pleasant fragrance.

On the seats in the main hall, there were scattered distinguished guests invited by the Waters Auction House.

Although the number of people coming today is not small, it still looks empty for this opera house that once could accommodate thousands of people.

It is different from ordinary auction houses.As a water area specializing in rough stone business, every product sold from here is a big gamble.

Before each auction, Shuishui will invite well-known stone gambling masters in the jade industry to appraise in advance and set the starting price.

Do not rely on any technological means, rely entirely on guesswork.

At the same time, they will also take photos of the appearance of the original stone in detail, and pass it on to those who will participate in the auction, so that those who receive the invitation can also find their own exclusive stone gambler to discuss in advance.

Such a novel setting, for those aristocratic children who like to have fun, is just a harmless little game among nobles.

And the Waters Auction House became famous because of this.

And Zhan Tianlang, who was sitting in the VIP seat at the moment, felt very uncomfortable.

He was overjoyed to receive the invitation.So that without thinking deeply, I began to prepare.

But when he actually sat in the VIP seat, he realized how frivolous and reckless he was.

Although in the last life, he and Xu Nan also came here.But it was because Xu Nan was the Qi family's jade carver, and he used the Qi family's invitation to come here to select materials, and he also sat in the ordinary seats.

But this time, I was directly invited in the name of Zhan's Shaodong, and was also arranged in the VIP seat.

Looking at the people around him, all of whom were well-dressed, gorgeous and elegant, Zhan Tianlang couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Especially when he saw a person sitting at the front table, it made him even more frightened.

It turned out to be Li Xi.

And Li Xi also seemed to have seen his existence, raised his cup and respected him from a distance.

The bright red wine in the glass touched his smiling lips, and there was a bit of captivating sexiness in the enchantment, so that everyone who saw it couldn't help but keep their eyes on him.

But Zhan Tianlang is very clear that all these beauties are just deceiving illusions, no one can understand Li Xi's cruelty and viciousness better than him.

I am afraid that the goal this time will not be achieved smoothly, Zhan Tianlang hastily lowered his head, feeling uneasy.

------------------------

The auction went smoothly, even if the bid was raised, there was no smoke.

It wasn't until No.15 appeared that the atmosphere in the venue changed subtly.

Lot NO.15, from Myanmar.Reserve price marked, 1000 million.

Such a rare high price made everyone have thoughts in their hearts, and some well-connected children from aristocratic families subconsciously turned their eyes to Li Xi.

They knew that Li Xi was the stone bettor invited by the Waters Auction House to set the price.

The name of the Gu family has long been known to all walks of life.

As the heir of the Gu family, Li Xi not only has superb jade carving skills, but also his unpredictable stone gambling skills are even more amazing.

Rare and beautiful jade must be hidden in the rough stone that can be marked by him as a starting price of 1000 million.

And Zhan Tianlang was also frightened by the high starting price.

In the last life, the final auction price of this rough stone was just that, but why is the starting price so high in this life?

But the matter has come to this point, he has no choice, no time to think deeply, Zhan Tianlang decided to take it down in one fell swoop.

"100 million." He was the first to call out the bid.

Zhan Tianlang's voice was not loud, even a little soft.

In front of the young masters and ladies of these old-fashioned families, he didn't want to lose his sense of proportion.

Although he is well aware that his unbearable reputation has already become the laughing stock of everyone.

"2000 million." Li Xi's voice came from the front faintly, full of implication that it must be won.

Raising the goblet, he gestured to Zhan Tianlang with a smile on his face, but his playful eyes seemed to warn him that he had already taken a fancy to this rough stone and told him not to think too much about it.

"Twenty-five million." Zhan Tianlang raised the price again, but his tone was not as confident as before.He was indeed a little afraid of Li Xi, but the resentment accumulated for a long time made him not want to let go of any chance to stand up.

"3000 million." At this time, a man at the next table also made an offer, as if he wanted to compete with Zhan Tianlang.

Ever since Zhan Tianlang entered the door, he was very upset.

Thinking that he is just a playboy from a newly promoted family, what qualifications do he have to sit with him?

Li Xi looked at the two people who were facing each other, then stretched out four fingers and said calmly: "4000 million."

Everyone was in an uproar.Li Xi's methods are well known, and the rough stones that allow him to pay high prices must have something in them.There are a few quick-witted people who have already discussed with their own stone gamblers in whispers, and seem to plan to fight.

The value of the originally ordinary rough stone has doubled in an instant, and it has been raised all the way to 7000 million.

Zhan Tianlang was in a very bad mood. He looked at Li Xi with resentful eyes, gritted his teeth and offered a higher price: "500 million!"

Why didn't he know that Li Xi deliberately raised the price for himself.What kind of diluted rare treasure can be worth 500 million yuan, but he realized that he was bound to get it.

On the other side, the man who had bid with Zhan Tianlang from the beginning also hesitated because of this price.He didn't ask for the price immediately, but got up and said to Li Xi: "My father has always admired Mr. Gu's skills. If I can find a beautiful jade to offer, I wonder if Mr. Gu is willing to show his love?"

Li Xi glanced at Qi Zheng, then shook his head regretfully: "I'm afraid it will be difficult, I don't have much free time recently."

"Then we have to wait until next time." The man sighed regretfully after hearing this, and withdrew from the auction.

But Li Xi didn't intend to give up, he lightly tapped the table with his index finger, as if he was considering whether to continue.

After helping him put some food on the dinner plate, Qi Zheng asked, "Do you like it? Just take a picture if you like it."

"Hmm... I don't think so." Li Xi blinked, with a hint of cunning in his expression.

Upon receiving his meaningful eyes, Qi Zheng shook his head dotingly, and began his quotation: "9000 million!"

"..." Everyone in the arena was shocked.Zhan Tianlang also looked pale.

"Give up!" Li Xi's voice was not too loud, but it happened that he could hear it.The dark eyes are full of sarcasm, as if saying that you will never be able to overcome.

Stimulated by his attitude, Zhan Tianlang subconsciously bid: "500 million..."

"Give up." Li Xi waved his hand neatly, completely different from the hesitant look just now.

"Deal!" The auctioneer dropped the hammer. Lot No. 15 finally became Zhan Tianlang's possession.

Finished!

Zhan Tianlang's heart was cold, without the slightest joy.

He knew only now that he realized what ninety-five million was.Zhan's quarterly profit is only around 500 million.But he actually spent such a huge sum of money on the rough stone.

Zhan Tianlang stepped forward to accept the transaction sign with a dull expression, his back under the suit was already wet with sweat.The steps he took were also very stiff and heavy, and everyone around him looked at him with weird eyes.

As expected of a well-known prodigal son in city b, it's rare for him to be able to bid such a sky-high price with a huge amount of money.

Li Xi was very satisfied with this.He lazily took a slice of fruit smeared with sweet cream from the plate, and took a bite slowly.

Stretching out the tip of his tongue, he wiped off a little cream on the corner of his lips.

It's just an ordinary licking action, but when Li Xi does it, it has a special charm.People at the same table couldn't help but take a second look.

Qi Zheng frowned, and the aura around him became a little chilly.

"It's too sweet." Li Xi deliberately stuffed the remaining fruit slices into his mouth, and said to him with a smile: "Sell this for 500 million yuan. I think the boss of Shui Yu will not be so sweet when the stone is resolved later." It will hurt my heart because I picked that piece of imperial jade."

Qi Zheng didn't speak, but the eyes that looked at the tip of his tongue became a little deeper.

Li Xi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "What are you looking at?"

"..." Qi Zheng didn't turn his head back in silence, and grabbed Li Xi's hand, which was in an increasingly dangerous position under the tablecloth.
