Chapter 22
Then Wang Bin just sent the construction drawings of Yaofeng Mountain Villa, and the two found a coffee shop to discuss the construction plan while drinking coffee.Jin Qi scrutinized the drawings carefully, and put forward more than a dozen revision opinions and requirements before finalizing the overall construction plan.300 million yuan was allocated to Wang Bin on the spot to let him speed up the construction.To be honest, this is the money of the Tower Gang, and it is very comfortable to use.In this way, excluding the prepayment of 300 million yuan for building the house, I still have a little over 200 million yuan, which is enough to go to Yangzhou with Zhang Huanzhi to gamble.

Another strange thing is that the evil couple who hurt Yan'er disappeared, maybe they withdrew from Heshi with the Tower Gang, or maybe they went into hiding.Jin Qi told the poisonous snake not to worry, but to search slowly, anyway, revenge must wait for Yan'er to regain consciousness and follow her wishes.With such a large gang, and in Mingli, are you afraid that you won't find this evil couple?
After lunch, Jin Qi went to the city alone, he wanted to know the market of pearls, jades and gems.Stroll along Guanqian Street, which is one of the three pedestrian streets in Heshi and the most prosperous commercial pedestrian street.Even if it is not a weekend, Guanqian Street is crowded with people, and there are as many as seven or eight gold, silver and jewelry shops.Turning into an Ou Cailai gold jewelry store on the way, he almost bumped into a man and a woman head-on.Jin Qi was taken aback when he saw this pair of cuddling and sweet looking men and women.They are none other than Kang Ping and her boyfriend, to be more precise, the chairman of Heshi Ancient Canal Real Estate Company.When Kang Ping and Jin Qi passed by, he didn't realize that the man who almost bumped into him was his ex-boyfriend.There is only one man in her eyes now, and all her thoughts are only on one man.Just now this man spent more than 7 yuan to buy a one-carat diamond ring for her. Now that the diamond ring is wearing on the ring finger of her left hand, she feels a burst of warmth from the fingertips to the whole body, and her heart is getting hotter and hotter. He approached the man's ear and said, "Brother Xu, I will love you forever."

Although the voice was extremely soft, it was deafening to Jin Qi's ears, as if his head had been slammed.As they walked and whispered in their ears, they gradually faded away, and it took a long time for Jin Qi to come back to his senses.Sighing and shaking his head, he turned and left the gold jewelry store where his ex-girlfriend sold diamonds.

The streets were still packed with crowds of people, and after walking for a while, Jin Qi found that his mood was much calmer.A lot of people surrounded the front door of a jewelry store called Fengxi. When they got closer, they saw an old woman squatting on the ground and crying bitterly.The security guard of the jewelry store pulled her and shouted: "Go away, the thief will not pay you back if you cry any more. Making trouble in front of our store will affect our business, go away quickly."

The old woman sobbed and said, "It was stolen as soon as I entered the door. If I don't find you, who can I go to?"

The crowd of onlookers whispered. It turned out that the old man brought 2000 yuan to give his granddaughter a gold necklace who was about to celebrate her birthday. He didn’t want his wallet to be stolen by the thief as soon as he walked to the Fengxi Gold Store, so he cried bitterly and refused to leave.

Just as Jin Qi was about to go forward to persuade him, he saw two people walking out of the store.One of them knew him, Zhang Huanzhi, the owner of Xianling Jewelry; the other, Jin Qi, couldn't help being amazed that there was such a beautiful woman in the world.With a quick glance, one can completely remember the face as delicate as ivory carvings, the creamy, white and snow-like complexion, the bright, clear, smiling eyes, and the slim and plump figure.Jin Qi has seen two beauties: Zhang Yun is youthful, beautiful, and graceful; one chip.Lips are not painted but vermilion, eyebrows are not painted but black, natural carving or no decoration at all is the fairy in the painting, the most beautiful woman among women, only the beauty and fragrance can describe her.Jin Qi was completely stunned and looked like a pig.

The beauty squeezed into the crowd with a gold necklace in her hand, leaned close to the old man and said softly, "Don't be sad, my dear woman, this gold chain will be paid to you by our shop, don't cry, it's not worth crying to ruin your body."

The old man raised his head in surprise: "Is it really for me?"

"It's for you. But you have to go to the police station to report the case. Let's not take advantage of the thieves. Let the police comrades take care of these bad guys."

"Okay, I'll follow your advice and report the crime. This female boss is truly a bodhisattva, good people will be rewarded." The old man thanked him persistently and stood up.

The beauty turned around and asked the security guard to accompany the old man to the police station to surrender.He found another exquisite brocade box and packed the gold necklace before handing it to the old man.There was a voice of praise from the crowd.At this time, Zhang Huanzhi on the side saw Jin Qi and shouted: "Young Master Jin, why are you here? Are you visiting the front?"

"Just passing by, Mr. Zhang." Jin Qi smiled politely.

Zhang Huanzhi pointed to the beauty beside him and said, "This is Feng Juan, the general manager of Fengxi Jewelry." Then he turned to the beauty and said, "Manager Feng, he is the boss of Jin Qi Jin I mentioned just now."

Fengjuan's eyes lit up, and she said with a slight smile, "Can I invite Boss Jin to come to the shop?" Zhang Huanzhi smiled and pulled Jin Qi who was in a daze, and the three of them came to the manager's office on the second floor of Fengxi Jewelry. .

The office is not big but very delicate, it can be seen that it was made by a woman at a glance, it is clean and tidy, and everything is placed just right.The most striking thing is a Shoushan stone carving in the display cabinet. It is carved as a phoenix spreading its wings and ready to fly. Several pieces of bright red color are skillfully carved into phoenix crowns and feathers. The whole carving is of good material and workmanship. A masterpiece of Shoushan stone carvings.Jin Qi looked back at the woman in front of him and thought: "Talent is the real boutique."

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Huanzhi said to Jin Qi: "Young Master Jin, Fengxi Jewelry is an old shop that has been established for decades, and it was passed down from Mr. Feng Lao, the veteran of the jewelry industry in He City. Mr. Feng is also an expert in the jewelry and jade industry. Ah, you just happened to communicate with each other." Seeing Jin Qi nodding repeatedly, I don't know whether it was intentional or not Zhang Huanzhi stood up and said to Fengjuan: "I still have some mundane business to go, I must attend President Feng's birthday on time tonight Have a banquet and see Qibao's true colors. Haha..." He left chicly while talking and laughing.

A man and a woman who just met were left in the office for a while, and the scene was a bit awkward.The freshly brewed Biluchun tea on the coffee table is exuding a faint, elegant fragrance, and the office is filled with a fragrant atmosphere. Jin Qi involuntarily took a deep breath...

Fengjuan looked at the other party secretly: at first glance, there is nothing outstanding in terms of figure and appearance, just an ordinary man.But if you look closely at the "simple" appearance, it gives people a sense of detachment, and there seems to be a breath of air in every gesture, much like the air of Taoism.This person's eyes are distinctive silver pupils, and even a little eye contact is shocking.The faint silver pupils are deep and frightening, and there is a trembling silver light dancing, which makes people feel timid if they look at them more.Because these weird eyes made this man stronger, his lazy appearance became elegant, calm, and calm. The more he looked at his ordinary appearance, the more he felt "infinite scenery", and he couldn't help feeling familiar in his heart. Family members who have been separated for a long time meet again.This feeling is very strange, where does it come from?she does not know.

The two sat quietly, looking at each other, thinking about each other's unknown.

After a while, Jin Qi couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Mr. Feng's business is doing very well."

"Where did Mr. Jin see it?" Fengjuan smiled, she knew that this man was looking for something to say.

"Isn't it possible to open a Nuo Dajin store in the downtown area? Besides, seeing Fengxi's customers coming and going just now is just a source of wealth."

"Mr. Jin spends a lot of money, two rough stones for 200 million, and this is the wealth. Compared with Mr. Jin, Fengxi is nothing." Feng Juan said, seeing Jin Qi's eyebrows frowned, and said hurriedly: "Don't blame Zhang. It’s always too much to say, your story has already been spread in the Heshi circle, and Mr. Zhang was just forced by me to say some details.”

"It's nothing, nothing, I just got lucky once, and it's comparable to Mr. Feng's business." Jin Qi said indifferently.

Fengjuan said angrily: "Mr. Jin is not happy, my younger sister will pour a cup of fragrant tea for Mr. Jin, won't you accompany someone who talks too much?" Slanted, provoking wisps of coquettishness.

Jin Qi's heart was beating wildly for a while, and it took him a while to calm down, his face could not help but feel a little hot, and he scolded himself for being a coward in his heart!After thinking for a while, he said, "I just heard Mr. Zhang say that he is going to a birthday party. Could it be that Mr. Feng's birthday coincides with today?"

Fengjuan shook her head and said: "It's my father's [-]th birthday. My friends held a banquet for him and organized a game like guessing treasures and fighting treasures, so many insiders will come. Hey, Mr. Jin is a stone bettor." Hands down, why don't you take a look?"

"I really want to participate, can I participate?"

"Yes, why not. I will send an invitation to Mr. Jin immediately."

A little confused, holding the precious invitation card inlaid with gold in his hand, he walked casually on Guanqian Street, and his hand always felt slippery, as if Fengjuan's catkin was still in his grasp.

The Wugong Sheraton Hotel is the only antique building group close to the environment in the ancient city. The Sino-foreign joint venture five-star hotel does not follow the path of skyscrapers and extravagant decorations, but incorporates 500 years of history and culture in a classical and elegant way. Zhongzheng is the fundamental reason why it is popular with the people of Heshi.

Today, the Qilin Hall is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it is a lively and extraordinary scene.The welcoming lady in front of the hall continued to greet the distinguished guests and regular customers, and stacks of gift boxes and plaques were moved in and out. Mr. Feng's [-]th birthday was sponsored by the Heshi Jewelry Association, which was indeed very grand.Jin Qi arrived at the Sheraton Wu Palace at [-] o'clock, and when she was led to the Qilin Hall, she realized that she had forgotten to bring her birthday gift, and her empty-handed appearance in front of the visitor registration desk was particularly eye-catching.In a moment of desperation, he bowed his ear to the book maker and said, "My name is Jin Qi, and I am a friend of Mr. Feng. I want to present my gift to Mr. Feng personally during the banquet."

The person who made the book suddenly said: "Oh, sir is here to fight for treasures, please, I will register Mr. Jin, and then there will be a master of ceremonies to invite Mr. Jin to offer treasures."

Jin Qi couldn't figure it out, didn't he say offering treasures or fighting treasures?Besides, I don't even know what Dou Bao is, it's coming anyway, so the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge.Walking into the front of the hall, a two-meter-square gold-plated birthday character is embedded in thousands of red peonies, which is very festive. Half of the guests in the hall with more than 60 tables of banquets have come, but it is a pity that Jin Qi does not recognize any of them. .Oh, know one.From a distance, Zhang Huanzhi of Xianling Jewelry was talking among the crowd.Anyway, I only came here to see Fengjuan beauty, and I didn't know it, but I was quiet.Jin Qi laughed at himself helplessly, and found a corner to sit down and observe the portraits of all beings in the upper class of He City.

"Sir, you're new to the jewelry business." Someone greeted me?Turning around, I saw a young man in his 20s holding a glass of red wine and looking at himself with a smile.Jin Qi smiled and said: "My brother has good eyesight, how can you tell that I am a novice at a glance?"

"It's worthless to put it bluntly. I'm a member of the Municipal Jewelry Council, so I know people in the industry well. How can I not know if a young gentleman is a veteran? Haha... My surname is Li, and my name is Feng, one of the executive directors of the association. I don’t know your gentleman’s name or name?” Li Feng was very sociable, and he seemed extraordinarily warm in just a few words.

"My little brother's surname is Jin, and his name is Jin Qi. He's just learning how to start the gem and jade business, and he's a complete novice. I'll ask Brother Li for more advice in the future."

"Oh, you are the golden flag? I heard that you sold two top-quality jadeites for 200 million yuan, and Mr. Zhang took over them to make a complete set. The brother's name is already known to everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Jin Qi is a bit dumbfounded, it seems that he is stupid to sell the rough stone for 200 million?
"Just now I saw in the register that there are seven friends participating in the treasure fight, and Brother Jin's name is among them. Could it be that Brother Jin also has rough stones similar to those sold to fairy jewels?" Li Feng looked surprised.

Jin Qi felt like swallowing a fly. If he really had the rough stone, Li Feng would be able to pick it up. When he sold the rough stone, he also tied the sale of incompetence.Looking at the expectant Li Dali, he shook his head and said: "I used another antique to participate in the battle of treasures. In fact, I still don't understand how the battle of treasures is carried out? How to distinguish the winner from the loser? , So what if you lose the result? These little guys don’t know anything about it, and now I feel regretful for taking part in it rashly.”

Li Feng looked at the young man with a funny expression, and thought that he was a complete novice. The top-quality jade worth 2000 million was sold for 200 million, and now he recklessly came to participate in the treasure fight. Little did he know that this was also a gamble involving millions. This guy is real Stupid or play dumb?He couldn't help sipping the red wine in his hand, and said softly: "Similar fighting treasures are very popular in Guangdong, and this is the second time in Heshi. The last time was held when the Jewelry Association was established. It was completely spontaneous and organized by several famous and authoritative experts. Judging, the winner will be determined by the actual auction price. The winner will get all the participation fees paid in advance by the participants. Last time, the winner received a bonus of 22 yuan, and the winning blue and white plum vase was sold by Hong Kong Zhang's It was collected with a huge sum of 200 million yuan, and the harvest was quite fruitful. This time it was proposed by several friends of Mr. Feng, and it is also a folk activity. I think that the treasures in my hand are worth more than one million yuan, and only jade can be used to participate. Once Participating also agreed to start the auction with a reserve price of 100 million, and if the price exceeded, the transaction would be transferred. The four old friends raised it, which can be regarded as adding excitement to the old friend's birthday celebration. The situation is basically like this, I wonder if my brother understands?"

Seeing Jin Qi stunned, Li Feng sighed secretly, and persuaded: "It's okay if you don't want to participate in the treasure fight for the treasure, as long as you admit that the treasure is less than a million when you call the name, at most, you can roll your eyes. Too frustrating. Another important and self-evident reason for other people's participation is for Feng Lao's precious daughter. , is of great value in the eyes of young heroes in Heshi. Hey, my brother won't come here for this, right? But..."

Why not for her?Amazing!To this day, she is always smiling like a flower in her eyes.

Jin Qi was in a daze for a moment, not because he was frightened, but he was always thinking about what he would use to participate in Doubao.There are many treasures in Tianshijie that exceed one million, but there are not many jades. In addition to the four top-quality rough stones, there are also... His heart moved, and he remembered the Tangni inkstone that Zhong Changhu bought at Xishan Zhongchanghu's house, and couldn't help but Rejoice, that's it!After making up his mind, his face became lively, and he said repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your advice. Brother still decides to participate in the treasure offering. If you don't want to win, just try to have fun. But when Brother Li talked about the property of the Feng family and Miss Feng's beauty just now, he was right. There seems to be too much to say..."
