It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

They arrived at the innermost area, which was specifically used for small-scale wool trade fairs.

This place has been booked by Pu Qinxuan, and it looks very lively.

With his photographic memory, he recognized many familiar faces, all of whom were owners who had participated in the public auction.

"Uncle, Qingyao, let me take a look first and see if it's the raw material on that list."

Chen Mo quickly went inside.

The woolen fabrics were neatly laid out on the ground, and many people were already examining them by flashlight.

It's evening now, so you can see more clearly with a flashlight.

He quickly glanced at it.

They are indeed all raw materials.

It looks great on the outside, but there are big problems inside.

It's still worth some money, but compared to what Qin spent, it's lost more than 80% of the total price.

Still not satisfied, he continued to use his X-ray vision to look through all the rooms in the venue, to see if there were any raw materials that hadn't been taken out yet.

Finally, I felt completely relieved.

It really was those raw materials.

It seems that even the Qin family dares not untie it.

So I want to sell it directly to recoup my costs.

The reserve price for each piece is the winning bid price for the Qin family.

Tsk tsk, what a big face, still wanting to make money?

However, he looked at the bigwigs who were studying the raw materials and heard their thoughts.

[It's a bit expensive, but there's nothing we can do. We didn't win any bids at this auction, so we don't have enough rough stones.]

[Qin's is a well-known company in the industry, with many expert jade gamblers, so their quality is probably quite good.]

These days, top-quality raw materials are scarce. Since the Qin family is offering them, we should seize the opportunity, even if it means paying a higher price.

Ah, as expected, the Qin family is taking advantage of the current state of the industry; no wonder so many big shots have come.

He walked over to Gu Chengyuan and nodded to him.

Gu Chengyuan and the others were overjoyed.

"Hello, Ms. Gu, Mr. Chen, nice to meet you."

At this moment, Li Jiaying walked over, speaking in a thick Hong Kong accent.

"Ms. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Gu Qingyao hurriedly introduced Li Jiaying to Gu Chengyuan and the others.

Gu Chengyuan, Old Zheng, and Old Hu were all taken aback.

Hong Kong Minghao Jewelry is a long-established luxury goods giant.

Li Jiaying is a well-known business elite in the industry.

Managing Minghao Jewelry for ten years has revitalized this old brand.

Of course, the most crucial factor is her father-in-law, who comes from a prominent Hong Kong family.

Facing these senior figures, Li Jiaying was not arrogant at all; on the contrary, she was very humble and polite.

"Miss Gu, my father-in-law really likes the rough stone you sold me. Besides being invited by the Qin family, he also wanted to treat you to a meal during his trip to Ningcheng to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Ms. Li, since you're coming to Ningcheng, it's definitely my treat. My Shengheng Group owns a local specialty restaurant that I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Okay, let's meet tomorrow." Li Jiaying looked at Chen Mo, "Mr. Chen, do you think the Qin family's raw jadeite is worth bidding on tonight?"

[Sigh, I underestimated my competitors at this auction. I bid on many rough stones but didn't win any, while the Qin family won so many.]

[But at the public auction, Qin cut two more pieces, both of which failed, and in the end, she didn't dare to cut any more. Judging from Zhou Limin's reaction, it's unclear whether it had anything to do with this young man.]

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I'm just a novice, so I can't give you any advice."

"However, Uncle Gu and these two experts can give you advice."

"Oh?" Li Jiaying looked at Gu Chengyuan.

With a serious expression, Gu Chengyuan took out a portable megaphone from his pocket and hung it on his ear.

"Ms. Li, trust me, you and your partners should never invest in any of the raw jade stones here, or your money will be wasted."

The sound was loud, and many people looked over, their faces full of surprise.

Good heavens, who's going to cause trouble for the Qin family?

That's incredibly audacious!

Li Jiaying was completely dumbfounded.

[Gu Chengyuan is the former chairman of Shengheng, how could he publicize this like this?]

[It seems the struggle between Sheng Heng and the Qin family is quite fierce. The Qin family snatched Sheng Heng's bid during the public auction, and Sheng Heng has come for revenge.]

[I can't believe it all, but I can't completely disbelieve it either. It seems I can only buy one or two cheap stones to try and have them cut open on the spot.]

"Okay, I believe Mr. Gu."

Several middle-aged men in suits standing nearby looked on with surprise. "Are you Chairman Gu of Shengheng Group?"

"it's me."

"Nice to meet you, I am..." These people introduced themselves and then asked why Gu Chengyuan said that.

"Hehe, you may not believe it, but you will definitely suffer a huge loss."

Gu Chengyuan continued loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Gu Chengyuan, Chairman of Shengheng Group."

"This time, Shengheng won the third bid in the Southwest China land auction, betting on a 7 million yuan increase."

"The Qin family won the top bid with 15.1 billion yuan and 1 yuan, but it all went downhill, which shows how poor the Qin family's judgment was."

"I strongly advise everyone not to bid. Let the Qin family cut the stone themselves; that's the safest way."

The venue wasn't big, but it wasn't small either.

The sound from the headset was just enough for everyone to hear.

The noisy area immediately quieted down, and those inspecting the materials all stood up.

Then they started whispering and discussing among themselves.

"Holy crap, has Gu Chengyuan gone mad?"

"He's the former chairman of Shengheng, after all. How could he personally get involved and do something so undignified?"

"Yes, we're all respectable people in the public eye. No matter how big the conflict or dispute, we can sit down and talk it over. It's all about interests."

At that moment, a group of people rushed over.

The leader was a middle-aged man, along with Zhou Limin, Meng Hongliang, and others.

This middle-aged man is Qin Zheng, the chairman of the Qin Group and Qin Hao's father.

"Gu Chengyuan, what are you doing? Do you have to make such a scene?"

"Qin Zheng, are you trying to save me face?"

Gu Chengyuan roared, completely abandoning his previous maturity and refinement.

"Your son, Qin Hao, colluded with the team at Shengheng Antiques Division to swindle over a billion yuan from Shengheng. He even colluded with thugs in northern Myanmar to kidnap my daughter in Ruili. How can you be so shameless?"

Qin Zheng was shocked. "Shut up! Shut up, Gu Chengyuan! If you have something to say, say it in private."

The security guards rushed over, trying to snatch Gu Chengyuan's headset.

Chen Mo and Ye Nan and the other three blocked them.

Gu Chengyuan continued.

"After Qin Hao was arrested, your father, Qin Tianping, actually swallowed his esteemed old face and asked our family for forgiveness."

"We didn't agree, yet you tried to sabotage my Shengheng Jade Business Unit team at the public auction, planting spies and finding out our bid reserve price. How shameless of you!"

"Today, I, Gu Chengyuan, will risk everything and fight the Qin family to the death."

"Qin Zheng, do you dare to bet with me? I bet that 80% of the raw jade stones you won in the bid will be worthless. If I lose, I'll give you ten times the compensation."

"If I win, you must compensate for the total bid price of the raw materials, and make Qin Tianping apologize to me and Qingyao, and compensate us for all the losses that Qin Hao caused to Shengheng."

Everyone was even more shocked.

Good guy.

What kind of betting is this?

Tenfold compensation, that's tens of billions, isn't it?

Moreover, the stakes are unequal.

This Gu Chengyuan is completely like a madman and a desperate man, trying to force Qin Shi to gamble with him.

Is he so sure?

Upon hearing this, most of the bigwigs backed down.

Because they believed that Gu Chengyuan couldn't be crazy.

Li Jiaying originally wanted to buy two cheaper ones, but now she doesn't dare to.

"Chairman Qin, how about we unravel it all? If there's good material, I'm not short of money, I'll definitely pay a high price."

"Yes, Mr. Qin, what we lack are raw stones. If you produce good materials and hold an on-site auction, your Qin family will benefit even more."

Qin Zheng's expression was extremely ugly.

He knew that with Gu Chengyuan's actions, no one would dare to bid.

The Qin family only had one option left: to gamble.

If you win, you'll receive ten times the compensation.

If they lose, the losses will be devastating, and their reputation and brand will collapse.

His expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.

Gu Chengyuan is so confident. Could it be that Chen Mo, who helped Sheng Heng gamble on stones, is really that capable?
