On the afternoon of May 6, the auction of Zhou's jewellery shares was held in the company's conference hall, which was set up like a small cocktail party, with round tables arranged in various areas of the hall.

Zhou's jewelry for this share auction, is still relatively well prepared, most of the formal auction layout and furnishings, the front of the hall is also placed a host table and a display screen, the display screen loops Zhou's jewelry corporate promotional video.

When Zhou Rendao and Zhou Lao walked into the conference hall, there were not many people in the hall at this time, only the staff were preparing refreshments. A girl who seemed to be about twenty years old was leaning against the window with her eyes blank and looking very lonely.

"Jiajia, don't think so much, grandpa has prepared a lot of funds this time, and the shares of the Zhou family will not be left in the hands of outsiders. Zhou Rendao said a little haggardly, in recent days, he has sold a lot of treasures that he has collected for many years, all for today.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, but I'm bothering you!" Zhou Jiajia turned his head and said to his grandfather with a smile, but this smile looked a little reluctant.

Zhou Rendao just touched his granddaughter's forehead and didn't speak, now he is a handful of old people, he has no pursuit of material things, his only interest is antiques, but the most important thing for him is his son and granddaughter.

Not long after Zhou Rendao came in, several shareholders of Zhou's Jewelry also arrived one after another, each found a place to sit down, and did not take the initiative to greet Zhou Jiajia and Zhou Lao, for them, after today, they will leave Zhou's Jewelry with money, anyway, both sides have known each other for a long time, or try to avoid quarrels and get together and disperse.

Zhou Jiajia and Zhou Lao also saw a few people walking in, and they also ignored them, in Zhou Jiajia's eyes, these people who should usually be called uncles were just strangers at this time.

At about 1:50 p.m., Wei Wenhua, the chairman of Wei's Jewelry, walked into the conference hall with his son Wei Dongqiang.

"Jiajia, you arrived so early?"

"Wei Dongqiang, we don't know each other very well, please don't call me that. Zhou Jiajia frowned and glanced at Wei Dongqiang, and said angrily.

During this time, she learned from various sources that the current situation of Zhou's jewelry was caused by Wei's jewelry, especially when she thought that her father's car accident was most likely caused by Wei's jewelry, Zhou Jiajia was even more bored with the man in front of her, and she couldn't wait to slap the other party.

Wei Dongqiang walked back to Wei Wenhua with a slightly embarrassed smile, thinking about it, he also understood that Zhou Jiajia would not give him a good look with what his company had done.

Wei Wenhua also saw Zhou Lao and Zhou Jiajia's grandfather and grandson, and wanted to say hello, but seeing his son's disgraced appearance, he dispelled this idea again.

Not long after Wei Wenhua and his son came in, several representatives of jewelry companies also walked in outside the hall one after another, including Yun Zuotong, the chairman of Yunxiang Jewelry, and Hua Long, the general manager of Huafei Jewelry, and even the president of the South China Jade Association, Zhao Xian and Zhao Lao!

As soon as they saw Mr. Zhao, the chairmen and general managers of these jewelry companies stepped forward to greet each other, and even Wei Wenhua looked respectful.

There is no way, the energy of the Jade Association is indeed not small, and for these jewelry companies, offending no one can offend the old man in front of him.

During the period when everyone was talking around Zhao Lao, a middle-aged man who seemed strange outside the door and a young man with a hat and sunglasses walked in silently, but the strange thing was that these two people did not greet anyone after they came in, but walked straight to a round table in the corner and sat down, looking very low-key.

"Old friend, long time no see!"

After sending away those people from the jewelry company, Zhao Lao walked straight to Zhou Rendao Zhou Lao's side, and it seemed that the two seemed to be very familiar.

"Lao Zhao, are you here too?"

Zhou Rendao also greeted his old friend with a smile, hugging each other like friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

In fact, Zhao Xianjin and Zhou Rendao have known each other since childhood, when they were still neighbors, and they played together a lot when they were young. Even after they moved, the two kept in touch often, and then one of them became the president of the Provincial Jade Association, and the other became a well-known antique expert.

"This is Jiajia, right? I haven't seen her for several years, but the little girl is getting more and more beautiful!" Zhao Xianjin said with a loving look at the already slim girl in front of him.

"Hello Grandpa Zhao!" Zhou Jiajia said with a reluctant smile, what had happened these days made her really unable to laugh.

Old Zhao sighed, stroked Zhou Jiajia's head and said, "I already know about your father, this time has been hard, right? ”

"Lao Zhao, are you also here to participate in the auction today?" Zhou Rendao frowned, looked at the old friend beside him and said.

Zhao Xianjin seemed to see Zhou Rendao's question, and smiled: "Don't worry old friend, I'm not here to bid for your company's shares today, to be exact, I'm here to support you!"

"Support?" Zhou Rendao said with some confusion.

"Yes, I know that you have recently sold a lot of antiques that you have treasured for many years for the sake of Nanfeng, you shouldn't have much money left in today's auction, right?" Zhao Xianjin took out a bank card and handed it to Zhou Rendao, "I probably have more than 20 million here, although it is not much, but it is also a little bit of my heart." ”

Zhou Rendao hesitated for a while, took the bank card and said, "Since this is the case, then I will accept it politely." ”

He still understands the character of his old friend, and it seems hypocritical that he still shirks it at this time. Besides, he really needs this money at the moment, Zhou's jewelry is his son's life's work, and it can't fall into the hands of others no matter what, especially Wei's jewelry!

While the two were talking, a host in a suit walked to the host stage with leather shoes on his feet, and the people present also stopped talking and quieted down.

Because of Mr. Zhao's identity, after the shareholder representative of Zhou's Jewelry finished speaking, the host also invited Mr. Zhao to come to the stage and say a few polite words, and then said:

"Distinguished guests, hello everyone! Welcome to the share auction of Zhou's jewelry! This auction is the auction of 40% of Zhou's jewelry's shares, with a reserve price of 30 million yuan, and each bid shall not be less than 1 million. I would like to announce that the auction is now officially open!"
