big bet

Chapter 24
The people who participated in the birthday banquet were all celebrities in the jewelry industry and rich families, and they were all rich. In addition, they were experts in gemstones and jade wares and understood the value of the ten treasures on the long table, so dozens of brands were raised in unison. lively.The host reported one by one.Just after being reported, I heard that others bid higher than myself, and immediately wiped out the re-report.Repeatedly quarreling over prices and repeatedly raising placards, the host was too late to answer, and there was a scene of fierce competition between tigers and dragons.

凤老主桌席上几位老者也在争着举牌，主要争夺的对象是五号翡翠佛雕和十号田黄大印。翡翠佛雕没几轮就推到823万高价，而四黄大印却略高一筹为838万。其他几号已经花落人家，主持人正汗淋淋地报着：“一号和田籽料凤落梧桐为125万拍出；二号玉雕山子为328万推出；三号玉如意一对为158万拍出；四号仿乾隆玉碗208万拍出；六号红宝石吊坠104万指出；七号……”

Jin Qi didn't pay much attention to the host's quotation, because Li Feng kept nagging in his ear: "No. Sir, your Tian Huang has reported 389 million. Look, it has reached 890 million. It’s amazing! Hey, jadeite is also good, and the two are competing. Hey, the price is 900 million. My God, a jade Buddha was photographed 912 million, let me see who is holding up the sign? It's the old man, he also wants the emerald Buddha sculpture?"

Jin Qi noticed that the old man Li Feng said had raised the price tag again, which said 920 million.The old man's face was flushed, and his determined appearance made people think of words like high blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage.No one raised their placards, and the host shouted: "920 million yuan once, 920 million yuan twice, and 920 million yuan three times. The jadeite Buddha sculpture was sold for 920 million yuan, and the lot belongs to Jiang Wencang. Congratulations!"

The old man stood up and clasped his fists to salute all around. It could be seen that he was very excited.The host promptly leaned into the microphone and asked, "Old man, why did you bid for this jadeite jade Buddha at a high price? You are the chairman of the famous Four Pearl Treasure Company in Heshi. It is conceivable that such an ice-planted sun-green emerald is so important to you. It should not be rare, but Cang Lao still bids for a huge sum of 920 million yuan, can you tell everyone how precious this Buddha sculpture is?"

Jiang Wencang said with a smile: "Currently, the market price of such a large emerald sculpture is as high as tens of millions. I can buy it for 920 million yuan, which is considered cheap. But this is by no means the real purpose of my goal. The real purpose is this Buddha sculpture There is another scenery on the road, who can see it?"

Another view?All eyes were on Lot No. [-] of the Long Table.Jin Qi was also carefully inspecting it, and found nothing unusual except for two tiny cracks.He opened his eyes slightly, and when he looked from a distance, he suddenly found that the cloth bag of the buddha sculpture was particularly bright green. The sun green through the view was a small group of special green emerald in the shape of water droplets. This kind of green and golden flag had never been seen before. , compared with the emperor green of Taihu Lake's precious glass, the green in front of you has a different kind of thrilling coquettishness, which will make you breathless if you look at it for a long time.What kind of green is this?Jin Qi didn't know it and dared not say it, because it looked like Maitreya Buddha's bag was a little more green.

For a long time no one answered the old question, the host couldn't help but said, "Let's solve the mystery, the old man. You see everyone is staring at each other. The original owner of the Buddha sculpture, Mr. He Wenhao, can't sit still."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Wencang laughed loudly and said, "Since no one knows it, let it be a secret. I am asking for 2000 million yuan, and whoever offers 2000 million yuan will give me this beautiful emerald carving and its inestimable value." Give him all the secrets, is there an offer?"

The hall was full of noise, and the thing that had just been acquired for 920 million was suddenly offered for 2000 million, which was too outrageous!But everyone has to believe that there must be articles in it, because Jiang Wencang is not only the owner of Four Pearl Jewelry worth billions, but also the vice president of the Heshi Jewelry Association, and he has the nickname "Gambling Stone King" in the industry .I once gambled 350 million yuan on a piece of wool, but it turned out to be a brilliant piece of red jadeite with more than 20 kilograms.It is said that later he cut out a string of 32 beads out of red jadeite, named "Buddha's Fate", and each bead has a diameter of 2.2 centimeters.The sky-high price of 200 million yuan was sold at BJ's auction. Of course, this only used one-third of all jade materials, which shows the profit of betting on stone cutting.After changing hands several times, the red emerald bead chain was finally taken in by the Suzerain Temple in Thailand, and the price has reached nearly [-] million.The astonishing success of the stone gambling made Jiang Wencang win the title of "Stone Gambling King" and the throne of the vice president of the He City Jewelry Association, second only to He Sihai, and no one has shaken him for four consecutive years.Therefore, it is hard to believe what he said in his honor and status, but he has to believe it.

There was a lot of discussion and discussion, which almost turned the hall upside down.Jin Qi asked Li Feng softly: "Does your Vice President Jiang often do such amazing things?"

Li Feng shook his head: "The association is a non-governmental organization, and we meet once a month. I am not an executive director and I don't know much about the old chairman, but it stands to reason that in his capacity, he wouldn't make up stories. There must be a reason."

Jin Qi frowned and said to himself: "Could it be because of that green mass?"

Li Feng asked puzzledly: "What green?"

Jin Qi was taken aback, feeling a little overwhelmed.But after thinking about it again, it might be an opportunity to sharpen his eyesight, so he said: "I have looked at the Buddha sculptures carefully. The surface is ice-like sun green, but the ice field near Amitabhabudai has become a glutinous rice field, and the transparency is even worse. Most people think that this It’s Xiaji, but it’s actually surrounded by a mass of green that’s different from Yanglu, it’s brighter and more beautiful, it can even be said to have a coquettish feeling, and it’s very impressive. I don’t know if the alternative scenery mentioned by the old man refers to it.”

"Bewitching? Captivating? You mean the green color?"

Looking at Li Feng's nervous expression, Jin Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I think it's too green."

"Since it's inside, how can you see it and be sure?"

"Just now when I was talking about Tianhuang at the table, I happened to see a strange green color on the creases of the Buddha's cloth bag, so I looked at it a few more times before I found that the green was different. At that time, I looked closely, and soon I felt There is an indescribable taste, so I am puzzled."

"You really see clearly?" Li Feng asked anxiously.

"of course."

Li Feng turned around without saying a word, walked to the other side, and whispered a few words next to a well-dressed middle-aged man.The middle-aged man was shocked, and he shot at Jin Qi while talking with Li Feng.Jin Qi clearly felt the mighty aura of this person.After a while the middle-aged man stood up and said loudly: "President Jiang, I want your Buddha sculpture for 2000 million."

Everyone was in an uproar again, some people are willing to buy secrets at a high price!Jiang Wencang left the main table, and the middle-aged man also entered the center of the venue, and the two stopped in front of the Buddha sculpture beside the long table.Jiang Wencang said loudly: "It turned out to be Boss Zhu from the remote company. Only a big entrepreneur like Boss Zhu can make such a big deal. It's a deal, it's a deal!"

Boss Zhu also laughed and gave Jiang Wencang a high-five, and the 2000 million deal was concluded within a pat.There are representatives of the three parties to handle the relevant handover procedures, all of whom are worth more than [-] million yuan, so it is convenient to have cash checks in their pockets.As for the secret, Jiang Wencang and Boss Zhu said no one has ever met, of course no one knows what the secret is.But Jin Qi knew in his heart that the drop-shaped ball of coquettish emerald green must be famous.

The host started yelling again: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. Tonight's birthday banquet and treasure fighting project is very exciting. Just now everyone has seen what a real big deal is. The boss of the remote company, Zhu Yuwen, heroically spent 2000 million The bid won by Chairman Jiang added a lot of festiveness to Feng Lao’s birthday celebration. We are very grateful for this. I think Mr. He Wenhao’s jadeite Buddha sculpture won the championship, but the battle of treasures is not over We can’t say that yet. Now let’s continue with the final auction of Lot No. 900. Mr. Zhang Shuai, executive director of the China Jewelry Association, just quoted a price of [-] million yuan. Please raise your placard if there is any higher bid. [-] million once ..."

Jin Qi sat quietly, and he really wanted to withdraw the 900 million auction lot. You must know that this is the real Qianlong Imperial Treasure, and it is more than ten million.In the eyes of insiders, it should be worth more than 2000 million, which should be better than Buddha carvings.This is a leisure chapter engraved by Qianlong himself, and Tianhuang is the rare golden Tianhuang among printing materials. Compared with the famous colors of Tianhuang, such as cinnamon, orange, and ginger, the golden color can show the luxury and grace of Tianhuang.This Long Niu Tian Huang Imperial Seal is not only a treasure of gems, but also the best among antiques. It is a pity that few people in the hall know about antiques.You see, no one took the offer after taking 900 million photos, Jin Qi said it was a pity in his heart.

The host is shouting: "900 million for the second time, 900 million for the third..."

Before the sound of the hammer fell, Jin Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "Slow down, I'll withdraw the shooting."

Everyone was shocked, 900 million pieces of Tianhuang were in place, but the original owner actually withdrew the auction!The host was also puzzled, and asked loudly: "Mr. Jin, according to Dou Bao's regulations, you can't quit halfway. If you have to quit, you must ask for the consent of Mr. Zhang Shuai."

Jin Qi stepped into the arena and said affirmatively, "I withdraw the auction!"

The host said: "Mr. Jin, 900 million and the 10 silver prize that will be won soon, a total of 910 million, can't it be worth your Tianhuang seal?"

"It's completely out of proportion. I didn't expect that everyone in the jewelry circle would only agree with jewelry and jade, and forget that this is a Qianlong imperial seal. The latter should be worth more than the former. So I beg Mr. Zhang Shuai to forgive me. I am not withdrawing the auction. The treasure is taken back for another purpose. If Mr. Zhang Shuai is unwilling to give up, then I will bid next." Jin Qi stared firmly at the middle-sized man in his fifties who had just stood up with a dissatisfied expression.

Zhang Shuai was very annoyed, how could there be such a person who didn't follow the rules?Is it just a joke to withdraw if you want to withdraw?He stood up and looked at the young man not far away, feeling flustered in his heart.Strange, why?Is it the other party's majestic gaze?Or an extraordinary figure?Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed a faint pressure from the other party that makes him feel subdued. Could it be that this young man is a master of the inner family?He couldn't help becoming more cautious, and said, "Give me a better reason."

"Today we all came here to congratulate Fenglao's [-]th birthday, and fighting treasures is just to add to the fun. Just now, the emerald Buddha sculpture has twists and turns, and finally the high price changed hands, which gave us all interest and amazement; Why don't we change the method to make birthday star and everyone happy together, how about Mr. Zhang's proposal?"

"What method can Mr. Jin use to surprise everyone again? Could it be because he doesn't want to give up Tian Huang's seal?"

"As long as Mr. Zhang agrees to my withdrawal, Kim will definitely give Mr. Zhang and everyone a surprise."

Although Zhang Shuai liked the Tianhuang seal on the table very much, he did not agree that it was really the imperial seal of Qianlong. The 900 million yuan was already a reference to the fact that it was the imperial seal, otherwise he would never have paid such a high price.Now that the original owner has repented and the risk of 900 million is his own, he has lost interest.Seeing what the other party said, he wanted to see what the young man would come up with to surprise everyone, so he smiled lightly and said, "I agree. Now let's hear where your surprise comes from and where your joy comes from." .”

Fengjuan kept looking at Jin Qi from a distance, full of surprises in her heart.I didn't expect him to come to participate in the treasure offering; I didn't expect that there was a treasure worth 900 million hidden in the strange clay inkstone he took out casually; I didn't expect that this guy would withdraw the auction when the auction was about to succeed and he would become the silver medal winner up.She felt uneasy, unable to figure out what he wanted to do.The father sitting on the side asked in a low voice: "Juan'er, is this person also one of your suitors?"

Fengjuan shook her head quickly: "It's a friend, a friend I just met not long ago."

"You invited him today?"

"Yes, I didn't expect him to participate in the treasure fight."

"This young man is not simple. He has an air of detachment all over his body, and he has the coercion of subduing others without fighting. His Tianhuang Seal is a good thing, and it is very ingenious hidden in the clay inkstone, which is surprising. .Now I want to play some new tricks, which is also interesting. Look, Zhang Shuai agreed, let's hear what tricks he comes up with."

Fengjuan was delighted to hear her father's praise.I don't know why I only met once, and within an hour of the conversation, I left a shadow in my heart that was casual but unforgettable.This guy picked up Tian Huang Zhiyin from the long table and walked towards him, hey, what is he going to do?
Jin Qi smiled as if he had picked up a gold ingot, and walked towards the main table step by step with nearly five hundred grams of the Tianhuang Imperial Seal in his hand.Everyone looked at him in amazement, wondering what would happen next.The main table is full of everyone, except for Fengjuan, the youngest is Zhang Shuai, who is in his 40s, and everyone else is an old man whose age and wealth have increased at the same time.They are also curious, unable to figure out what will happen next.The host said with great interest: "Mr. Jin came to the main table holding the treasure. At this table sat the birthday man Feng Lao, the president of the Jewelry Association, He Lao, the vice president of the Jewelry Association, Mr. Qin Shaotang, the chairman of the National Mr. Zhang Shuai, director of the Jewelry Association, Mr. Xu Haoran, director of the Provincial Association, Mr. Zhang Ziyi, who is also a director of the Provincial Association, and our beautiful Miss Fengjuan. Could it be that Mr. Jin wants to sell the treasure to one of them? Of course they are all People who are worth hundreds of millions are people, but they have no intention of buying them. Look, Mr. Jin stood in front of Mr. Feng, and he began to say..."

Jin Qi bowed slightly to Feng Lao, and said with a smile: "Feng Lao, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Jin and my name is Qi. I have a mediocre background and a mediocre job. I can only be lucky. I got this treasure by chance. As Fengjuan's new acquaintance Friends, on the occasion of the 900th birthday, I think the word "Fu Shou Tian" is the most appropriate, and I would like to congratulate Feng Lao Fu, who is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and his life is not as old as Nanshan. Please accept it." [-] million A gift?Everyone was shocked, and Mr. Feng was even more surprised.He hurriedly stood up and said: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it. Young Master Jin must never do it. This thing is as precious as a mountain. Just because of the friendship of my daughter, why should Young Master Jin use such a heavy gift? I really can't afford it."

"There's nothing wrong with this. Feng Lao is more serious in Jin Qi's heart. Tian Huang said that grinding the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of his feet every day can nourish yin and nourish the kidneys. Wouldn't it be a great joy for Feng Lao to use Qianlong to play Yinyin and bathe his feet? Please accept it." Come on, everyone is waiting to drink your old birthday wine."

Feng Lao is also a man of the scene, not petty at all.Seeing that everyone was staring blankly at him, he suddenly felt proud, and laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I'll accept it for today. Come, Young Master Jin, let's go to the banquet and drink three cups together!" He grabbed Jin Qi's left hand Go out of the hall.
