286 Pressing Steps
"Okay, please take it, thank you for your patronage!" The owner of the ancient sword collection store smiled kindly, nodded his head with satisfaction, and handed the packed ancient sword box to Zhou Qiang.
His expression was so satisfied, it could be seen that he had gained a lot of bargains in the transaction, which made Zhao Rouge and Chu Tangtang's hearts tighten.
What if you lose later...... I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty!
According to the agreement, the loser has to directly compensate 10 million, and he has to humiliate himself to learn to bark on the street of Chenghuangmiao.
For a while, Zhao Rouge and Chu Tangtang looked at each other, and they could see the deep worry in each other's eyes.
"OK, let's go find the third one. Zhou Qiang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and instructed them to follow, while he activated the Relic Technique, with a faint spiritual essence in his eyes, looking around for something that could make it react.
Soon, Zhou Qiang locked on to an item again: a beautiful wooden box from the Warring States Period.
So, after paying 90,000 yuan, Zhou Qiang happily took it from the seller.
At this point, he had spent all 100,000 yuan, and walked directly back to the place where the gambling game was agreed.
The antique dealer who sold Zhou Qiang's "Jade Paperweight" didn't leave cheaply, and when he saw them, he naturally couldn't help but be ridiculed again:
"Yo, the self-defeating country turtle is here again? I'm the liar who sold you 18 yuan of plastic paperweights as jadeite, haha, why don't you ignore me?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the story of the antique bureau I told you, the actor I played around, is the guy in front of me, his name is Zhou Qiang!"
Suddenly, many people cast sympathetic or sarcastic or pitying or mocking glances.
Zhou Qiang frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy with the self-assertion and ghost of the guy in front of him. But the vicissitudes and maturity accumulated over the years made him hold back the thoughts in his heart, and just put the three antiques on the ground plainly, waiting for the return of Wei Liang and Wei Ji.
10 minutes later, Fang Senyan, Wei Liang, and Wei Ji, like victorious generals in battle, carefully returned with three antiques.
All three of their antiques were covered with red cloth and properly preserved, which shows that they cherished them very much, and they also believed that they must be genuine, without considering the possibility of eye-catching.
"Tut, I thought Mr. Zhou Qiang would think about it for a long time, but I didn't expect your treasure appraisal efficiency to be so high. Fang Senyan sneered contemptuously, obviously feeling that his side was winning, and his speech became extremely unpolite.
Wei Liang laughed: "I'm starting to look forward to you learning to crawl on the ground." ”
Wei Ji was very helpless and did not speak. Due to his brother's affection, he could only stand side by side with Wei Liang, but Wei Ji didn't have any interest in provoking Zhou Qiang, he had long felt that Zhou Qiang was a bad star, and it would be no good to provoke him, and Wei Liang was really unlucky, which confirmed his idea. It's a pity that his brother hasn't learned to eat a trench and grow wise, so he can only take care of it. After all, even if there is a sea of swords and fires ahead, brothers have to carry them side by side.
"I, Wei Liang's three collections VS Mr. Zhou Qiang's three collections, this competition is about to start, please come over and be a witness to the fathers and grandfathers passing by the City God Temple!" Wei Liang raised his voice and arched his hand to the tourists in all directions.
It's human nature to join in the fun, so a large number of people immediately gathered.
Fang Senyan also cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Now, I will repeat the rules of the game, so as not to play tricks on the people who will lose." Mr. Wei Liang on our side and Mr. Zhou Qiang on our side will each use 100,000 yuan to buy three antiques, and then they will compete with each other, so that all the experts in the treasure world can see whose sum is more valuable! The person who loses, all the antiques he buys, will belong to the other party, and he will convincingly take out 10 million as a lottery to compensate the other party, and even more will kneel on the street of the City God's Temple while barking, crawling all over again!"
"Good!" the crowd erupted in laughter and applause. Obviously, this is a mentality that is not too big to watch the excitement.
Zhou Qiang frowned slightly: "Fang Senyan, I remember that in the agreement we negotiated at the beginning, there was no such thing as 'the person who loses, all the antiques he buys belong to the other party', right?"
"That's right, you took the opportunity to add conditions again!" Zhao Rouge glared at Fang Senyan in disgust.
Fang Senyan smiled slightly: "Zhou Qiang, are you afraid?"
The crowd of onlookers around suddenly set up seedlings and coaxed:
If you don't dare to gamble, go home and drink milk!"
"I've gambled 10 million, are you still afraid of this? I think you're just dumbfounded, do you know that you're going to lose?"
"Bet, bet, bet!"
"Since you want to gamble, then just throw a lot of money and play a big game, don't be a mother-in-law, a little family, shameful!" Fang Senyan laughed and pointed to the people around him, "Hear it, public opinion is like this, this is everyone's voice." ”
Zhou Qiang sneered, and glanced at the crowd thoughtfully: "There can't be so many people who are blindly coaxing." Looks like you've got a lot of nurseries in them. It can be seen that Mr. Fang Senyan came prepared, but I underestimated your determination to do things this time. ”
Fang Senyan's face suddenly fell, and he said coldly: "I have a common enmity with you, so as long as I see the slightest opportunity, you will never recover! Zhou Qiang, let me ask you, do you dare to bet?"
"Of course. Zhou Qiang indifferently swept the three antiques covered in red cloth, and the relic technique had a little bit of waves, he knew that those three must be good goods, but he didn't want to admit it, but nodded his head quite calmly, "OK, then the gamble is established!"
Fang Senyan was ecstatic in his heart: he was fooled! Stupid! Sure enough, he was an arrogant maniac who liked to show off in front of beautiful women, so it was easy for him to be tricked if he fanned the flames a little.
Wei Liang also smirked: "Zhou Qiang, every time I planted it in your hands before, I had to lose a lot of money, but now I have to earn it all back." ”
"If you have the ability, just let the horse come. Zhou Qiang spread his hands and put the wooden box of the Warring States Period, the Japanese *** and the snakeskin bag containing the jade paperweight he bought directly in front of everyone.
The antique dealer immediately shouted: "The 'jade paperweight' made of plastic I sold him is in that snakeskin bag, haha, this kid is embarrassed to take it out directly." ”
"Then let's start competing!" Fang Senyan chuckled and looked at Hong Tianlin on the side, "Hong Shao, you are very good at appreciating treasures, why don't you be a judge part-time?"
"It's a small thing. Hong Tianlin nodded his head, and he was also full of interest in this competition.
Zhao Rouge and Chu Tangtang were suddenly unhappy, and the former immediately pinched the bee's waist and protested very dissatisfiedly: "The judges are from your side, won't they favor you when they evaluate the price?"
Hong Tianlin smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I swear in the name of Hongmen that I will be impartial when refereeing." ”
"I believe in you. Zhou Qiang knows the maxims and precepts of Hongmen, that is: the word of righteousness is the head, the sword is the mountain of fire, and the letter word is the head, and the horse is difficult to chase. Therefore, since Hong Tianlin has moved out of Hongmen, it can be seen that he will definitely not favor anyone.
"That's not going to work!, of course you have to avoid suspicion!" Zhao Rouge snorted coldly, she pouted, "We also have to find a judge." ”
"Absolutely. Fang Senyan did not object.
"Grandpa Jin?" At this time, Chu Tangtang looked at an old man in the crowd who was shaking a fan and was looking at the excitement, stepped forward with a smile, and dragged him up by the arm, "This is Grandpa Jin Tailai, the vice president of the Treasure Appreciation Association of Yanjing City, he is a square person, if he comes to be a judge, we will be convinced." ”
"Tangtang, you little girl stays at home every day, I haven't met you on the street in years. Jin Tailai laughed and nodded his head, "This is the first time you begged me, I have to give you this face, and I will help you with your palms!"
He has a Chinese face, vicissitudes of life and perseverance, looking at him is a square and innocent person, coupled with a simple Mao suit, his whole body is spotless, standing there with a straight waist, it can be seen that he is definitely a very reliable person.
Zhou Qiang's eyes flickered, and he immediately realized that the elder in front of him had taken the initiative to help.
Obviously, Jin Tailai also saw that the other party was menacing, and he was worried that Chu Tangtang's side would be deflated, so he deliberately squeezed forward so that they could choose him.
"Vice President Kim Tae-rae's reputation is well-known, and we are convinced. Some passers-by were also gossiping, and they were very convinced by Kim Tailai's golden signboard.
"Yes, Vice President Kim Tae-lai can be said to be the most reputable buyer in the City God Temple, and there is no one. He is willing to gamble and lose when he is eye-catching, and he is willing to compensate the buyer when he picks up leaks, and he is a kind person!"
Zhou Qiang smiled slightly and glanced at Fang Senyan: "How about I ask Mr. Jin Tailai to be the second judge?"
"Of course, we don't want to cheat. Since I want to win you, of course, I have to win openly to be happy enough!" Fang Senyan was full of confidence.
Soon, someone took the initiative to bring two stools, let Jin Tailai and Hong Tianlin sit, and began to taste Zhou Qiang and Wei Liang's treasures.
Fang Senyan cleared his throat and said: "The first item comparison, Zhou Qiang's wooden box, and Wei Liang's Mingzetang wooden fish! are all wooden, please taste them." ”
As he spoke, Wei Liang lifted the red cloth directly from the cover.
An antique Buddhist wooden fish appeared in front of everyone, its faint sandalwood color, exuding an ancient temperament, which was heartbreaking.
And Zhou Qiang's so-called wooden box of the Warring States Period seems a little mediocre.
"Although the judgment has already been made!" Fang Senyan sneered, "Please go through the procedure and ask the two to appraise it." ”
Hong Tianlin couldn't help but touch his nose and glanced at Zhou Qiang: "You might as well take the initiative to show the mystery in the wooden box, otherwise, look at its very old condition, it's really not good." And Mr. Wei Liang's Ming Zetian Ming Zetang wooden fish, well, seems to be genuine. What does Mr. Kim Tae-rae think?"
Zhao Rouge and Chu Tangtang immediately looked at Jin Tailai eagerly, hoping that he could refute Hong Tianlin.
However, Jin Tailai nodded his head impartially: "There is no doubt that it is genuine! This golden silk small sandalwood fish has a fine texture, is quite intact, and is in excellent condition, so beautiful, you can see at a glance that it is not a fake." Moreover, good antiques have their own temperament, this wooden fish is full of Buddhist incense, I look at it, I feel with a Buddha nature. There is no need to say those professional treasure appreciation words for a good thing of this grade, unless you are blind, you can see that it is a good thing. It's like a beautiful woman walking down the street, and anyone can tell that she's beautiful. ”
"It's just ......" Jin Tailai stared, narrowed his eyes, and asked coldly, "As far as I know, your gambling bucket is to buy three items for 100,000 yuan to fight for treasures, right? I want to ask, how much did you buy this wooden fish?"
