It was the first time in Qu Ming's life that he felt this kind of uselessness. He didn't blame Ding Zhanpeng, but he blamed himself for not being strong enough to suppress these people.
But he was not a vegetarian either. He stared and said angrily: "Zhang Hai, my elder brother lost. I accompanied him to climb around the clubhouse three times. If you lost, the dog barked three times, and then I apologized to my elder brother."
The onlookers were in an uproar, the stakes were getting bigger and bigger.
No matter who wins or loses, it will become a topic of discussion in Haicheng tomorrow.
Zhang Hai's eyes were also red. He and Qu Ming had a long history of enmity, and they kept looking for opportunities to embarrass Qu Ming.
Now he is on the verge of riding a tiger, and he is unwilling to lose in terms of momentum. Most importantly, he has confidence in his treasure appraisal skills, so he said loudly: "I also want to revise the bet. If I lose, I will pay you 100 million and apologize , and the dog barked three times. You lose, and you have to climb around the center of the city!"
When Qu Ming heard it, he quickly said: "It's not fair to block it, I still need to modify it!"
Zhang Hai said contemptuously: "This is my bet. If you bet, you can bet. If you don't bet, don't talk nonsense. I have already made a big concession. Your trash buddy is not qualified to let me increase the bet. At the same time, I would like to remind you .Your treasure appraisal skills are not as good as mine. Your rubbish buddies look poor and have limited abilities. If you lose, your Qu family will be famous in the city tomorrow. Dare you bet? In a word, it’s not terrible , the most frightening thing is that your brainless idiot's actions have harmed the composer."
Zhang Hai's words were vicious and insidious.
Although he is very confident in his treasure appraisal technology, he is careful to make the Wannian Ship. He can't admit to being cowardly, once he is cowardly, it proves that he is afraid of Qu Ming, but he is not cowardly, and he is also afraid that Qu Ming will not dare to agree, so he has to use some tricks to make himself invincible.
Qu Ming gritted his teeth, this is a big bet.
So big that he was a little scared.
He punched him in the center of the city, I'm afraid the Qu family would really lose face.
But Zhang Hai's words blocked his retreat.
If he didn't dare to gamble, it proved that he was a coward, and indirectly showed that Ding Zhanpeng was a piece of rubbish. Apart from his sharp mouth, he had no real material.
Ding Zhanpeng saw Qu Ming's hesitation and understood his worry.
So, he said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Xiao Ming, this matter is unfair to you, I think so, I will show my identity as a genius doctor, and then show the favor of Mr. Chen, I guess Zhang Hai will take it seriously."
Qu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Ding, I can't let you resist. Zhang Hai and I have a grudge against me all the time. If I don't agree, I will lose in momentum and lose face. Moreover, Zhang Hai lost For the purpose, there is no interest in the bet."
After a pause, he continued: "Brother Ding, reason tells me that I shouldn't agree to the bet. Emotionally, I really hope to see Zhang Hai make a fool of himself. I won't lie to you, I have no confidence in you, this is the truth But you just reminded me that if you can pull my grandfather out of the dead door with your own hands, you must have unimaginable abilities. I have not been in touch with you for a long time, just one night, and I can see that you are a very calm person So, I believe that a capable and steady person will not brag. I have made up my mind, I believe in you, Brother Ding, I believe that you will not let me down."
Ding Zhanpeng felt warm in his heart.
He understood that Qu Ming had made a lot of determination.
This bet is unusual. Once they lose, the Qu family's reputation will be seriously affected, and even Qu Ming will be severely punished by Qu Lao and the others.
Without a certain amount of trust, there is no way to make up your mind.
Ding Zhanpeng smiled and said: "Xiao Ming, there are some things I can't tell you. But I can tell you one thing. In my eyes, appraising treasures is easier than eating lettuce. You wait for Zhang Hai to apologize. "
Qu Ming was taken aback for a moment, feeling that Ding Zhanpeng's tone was a bit loud. Appreciating treasures is not like an ordinary industry, which requires a lot of knowledge to back him up, coupled with a vicious vision and senior experience.
Ding Zhanpeng is very young and has no experience with antiques. Does he really have a unique way to win
Employers are not suspicious, and Qu Ming chooses to trust Ding Zhanpeng, so naturally he will not sing the opposite.
Full of doubts, Qu Ming's eyes flashed with firmness, and he said loudly: "Zhang Hai, I accept this bet. But let me explain one thing, I will not participate in treasure appraisal, and my elder brother will complete the whole process by himself. "
Zhang Hai couldn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Qu Ming, are you sure you want to do this? Let me say something first, if you lose, I won't show mercy just because your family is powerful. I advise you to appraise treasures by yourself, although Your skills are not very good, but the poor big brother B around you is even less crowded. Don’t say that I look down on him, how can a person who hesitates for a long time with 200,000 rubbish rings have treasure appraisal skills?”
Qu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Hai, don't talk nonsense anymore, we agreed to this bet. Next, let's start the competition. But I have one condition, since it's appreciating treasures, we should invite someone with high qualifications to do this game Witness to the game."
Zhang Hai nodded and said with a smile: "That's for sure, without convincing witnesses, I'm still afraid that you will play tricks."
"Hehe, young people nowadays are really interested. If you don't mind, I can be your witness."
Mr. Guo walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "But your identities are unusual, do you really want to fight to the death? I suggest you calm down and think clearly."
Qu Ming said helplessly: "Mr. Guo, it's not that I want to start a war, but that someone is too lowly. I have no choice but to be a dog and bite people everywhere. I have no choice but to protect myself. If Mr. Guo is willing, I hope Mr. Guo will be the leader. Witness, prevent someone from losing money."
When Zhang Hai heard this, he was unhappy, and said: "Qu Ming, if you are a man, you should be more aggressive. Is it interesting to beat around the bush and scold people? Besides, I am a dog, and you are also a dog. Mr. Guo, I know you have some friendship with the Qu family, but I believe You are a fair and strict person, so I also hope that you will serve as a witness."
A trace of displeasure flashed across Guo Lao's face.
Zhang Hai is too arrogant, without the attitude and awareness that a junior should have.
But he also knew that Zhang Hai had a strong background and was not afraid of him, so he didn't say much.
Mr. Guo thought for a while and said, "I'll be the witness of this betting match. Besides, I'll set the rules for the comparison game. I found an antique from the people present, and you all identify it separately. Whoever loses. If everyone has the same answer, find a new antique for identification. And so on, until the two sides decide the winner. What do you think?"
Ding Zhanpeng didn't understand this, and asked, "Let me ask, should I directly identify the authenticity, or set the price?"
Zhang Hai sneered, and said: "You dare to bet with me because you don't even understand the basic rules of appraising treasures. The price of antiques is not something you and I can distinguish, it depends on the market bidding. Therefore, we Jianbao only distinguish True or false. It’s not that I look down on you. Even if you are lucky, if you don’t fail in the first round, you will still fail miserably in the second round. But I think this rule is flawed. If you always give the same answer as me, you will definitely not lose. Therefore, I would like to add my opinion, we should not say it face-to-face, but write a small note to Mr. Guo, and let Mr. Guo announce it. This is fair and reasonable.”
Mr. Guo was even more displeased. He was going to explain clearly, but Zhang Hai snatched his limelight and his words.
"Ahem, I don't need your opinion, I will say it."
Old Guo coughed to express his dissatisfaction.
Zhang Hai also kept his mouth shut. Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid.
Mr. Guo has a very high status in Haicheng, so there is no need to turn against Mr. Guo because of this matter.
"Okay, do you have any comments? If not, the game will officially begin."
Guo Lao saw that Zhang Hai was honest, so he said.
The two expressed no opinion.
Old Guo rolled his eyes and suddenly stopped. He looked at the blue and white ware in Li Xin's hand and said with a smile, "I want to borrow the porcelain from you."
Li Xin was sweating profusely and didn't agree immediately.
If it was other items, he would lend them out without further ado in the name of Mr. Guo.
But there is something wrong with this piece of porcelain, and if someone finds out, he will be finished.
Li Xin was confused, forced a smile, and said, "Mr. Guo, you are being polite. This piece of ceramics is not of high value, and the style is ordinary. I suggest changing it to a high-end antique, so as to reflect their level of appreciating treasures."
Mr. Guo shook his head and said with a smile, "I just like the ceramics in your hand."
Now, Li Xin couldn't accept the refusal. With a sad face, he handed over the porcelain, begging silently in his heart that everyone in the audience would be blind and couldn't see that there was something wrong with the porcelain.
Mr. Guo took the porcelain, put it on a mahogany table, and said with a smile: "I will give each of you 30 minutes to appraise this porcelain. Whoever gets the correct answer the fastest will have a high level of treasure appraisal. victory in the match."
When Zhang Hai heard this, he originally wanted to give way to Ding Zhanpeng, but now he didn't need it. He walked up, picked up the porcelain and observed it carefully.
Ding Zhanpeng didn't do anything, he was a little surprised that Mr. Guo would use this piece of porcelain as a competition item.
For other antiques, he really didn't dare to make a conclusion right away.
But there is no aura in this piece of porcelain, it is estimated that it is a piece of porcelain produced in modern times.
For the sake of safety, he used his mental power to observe again, and determined that there was no aura in the porcelain, and there were some ceramic particles on the surface, making him even more sure that it was fake.
Ding Zhanpeng didn't write a note immediately, he didn't dare to show too dazzlingly, and planned to touch it before writing the appraisal result.
Zhang Hai held the pottery, touched it again and again, looked at it again and again, with a smile on his face.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Hai put down the porcelain, wrote the answer on a small note, and handed it to Mr. Guo.
Mr. Guo opened it and asked Ding Zhanpeng to start appraising treasures with a blank face.
Ding Zhanpeng and Zhang Hai passed by.
Zhang Hai suddenly said in a low voice: "Hey, actually I don't want Qu Ming to make a fool of himself, but he is too arrogant. But I am not stupid, Qu Ming's background is very deep, I am not suitable to confront him head-on. So, I just thought about it , I feel that my approach is a bit too much. Let me tell you, this piece of porcelain is fake. When you write down the answer, our answer will be the same. The result of the game is tied, and none of us will be embarrassed. "
After speaking, he stood aside without turning his head.
Ding Zhanpeng was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
Then he realized that Zhang Hai secretly said that it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Zhang Hai's meaning was very clear. He didn't want to make a fuss with Qu Ming. He was impulsive before. In order to avoid unpredictable results, he chose to show weakness and give the answer.
If you don't have confidence, or feel a little flustered, you may believe Zhang Hai's suggestion.
But looking at it from another angle, Zhang Hai's words cannot be trusted.
Once I have doubts, I will be hesitant, and my thoughts will be disturbed by Zhang Hai's words, so I will make wrong judgments.
Ding Zhanpeng suspected that Zhang Hai's arrogance was just pretending, and a person with such a deep plan would not be a brain-dead dude.
