Chapter 221 The gap in our financial resources is like the difference between an ant and the blue sk
"I want this jade Buddha. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
A single, domineering statement, brimming with extreme arrogance and confidence, resounded throughout the jade exhibition area.
The moment the words fell, all the wealthy and powerful young men who were admiring the treasures around the booth froze, their smiles instantly turning to silence as everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Jianjun.
After a brief silence, commotion instantly spread.
The guests who were originally scattered throughout the hall, chatting in twos and threes, stopped talking and turned around curiously to look at the commotion.
The noisy hall fell silent at a visible speed, soon becoming so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Many wealthy people who were far away and couldn't see the situation clearly immediately turned to ask the people next to them, their faces full of doubt.
"What happened? Why did it suddenly become so quiet? What's wrong?"
"I don't know the specifics, but from what I heard, it seems like Mr. Wang got into a conflict with a young stranger," someone replied quickly in a low voice.
An insider who knew a little about the situation immediately chimed in, his tone laced with amusement and anticipation.
"It's more than just a conflict! That brat from out of town openly declared that he would steal the jade Buddha that Boss Wang had his eye on, his tone was incredibly arrogant! This is going to be quite a show."
As soon as these words were spoken, a collective gasp of astonishment erupted from all around, followed by a dense chorus of sarcasm and ridicule.
"Steal what Boss Wang has his eye on? This kid must be insane!"
"Mr. Wang is the eighth richest man in Beijing, with assets approaching one trillion yuan. There are only a handful of people in the room who can consistently outshine him!"
Everyone looked Qin Jianjun up and down, and seeing that he was an absolute stranger, not a familiar face among the top circles in Beijing, they immediately understood.
"So it's not a local Beijing tycoon family. No wonder they're so arrogant. They're probably some upstart from another province who have no idea about President Wang's power. They're really like a newborn calf that doesn't fear a tiger."
"In the capital, anyone who dares to show such disrespect to Wang Qi will not be able to leave this building unscathed tonight."
Everyone watched with a spectator's mentality, their tone full of disdain and mockery.
In their eyes, Qin Jianjun's arrogance was nothing more than the blind conceit of someone who had never seen the world.
Inside the semi-enclosed viewing pavilion high up in the lobby.
Lin Song sat upright at the table, looking down at Qin Jianjun, who was arrogant and showed no restraint. He shook his head helplessly, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
The Qin family's style of doing things is truly arrogant and domineering, no matter where they go...
But this is the capital city, a place teeming with hidden talents, not some remote corner of Jiangnan.
Even if the Qin family is presumptuous, they should still consider the occasion. After all, there are quite a few young masters from the Tian family with terrifying backgrounds here. Just mentioning the name of any one of them is enough to make even a family like the Yuan family show them respect.
Xie Zhan and the other young masters, who were standing to the side, all wore meaningful expressions after hearing the report from their attendants.
Xie Zhan glanced up at Qin Zheng and Qin Jianjun downstairs, then looked away and turned to Lin Song beside him, joking with a smile.
"Young Master Lin, the ally your Lin family has chosen doesn't seem to be very bright. He's caused trouble everywhere since arriving in the capital, acting recklessly and arrogantly. I advise you to think it over carefully and find a new partner to cooperate with, lest you regret it later."
Lin Song didn't intend to respond to the other person's words, but simply shrugged helplessly.
"Such important matters have always been decided by my father. At the very least, I have my elder brother Lin Wu above me. How could it be my turn to make the decision?"
Xie Zhan smiled without saying anything. He could naturally understand this kind of polite talk, so he didn't continue the topic.
During the meal, a young master from a military family, with a cold expression, snorted and spoke with a tone full of dissatisfaction.
"A mere family from another province, already so arrogant and domineering since arriving in the capital! Do they really think the capital is their own backyard in Jiangnan? They're utterly disrespectful!"
These words instantly resonated with all the outstanding young men present.
They all come from top-tier families with immense backgrounds. From a young age, they have strictly adhered to the rules of their social circles. Even with their powerful connections, they have always maintained a low profile and exercised caution in Beijing, never daring to act recklessly or cause trouble.
Now, seeing someone from another province acting recklessly and arrogantly on their own turf, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable and full of resentment.
Someone turned to Xie Zhan and asked with a smile, "Xie Zhan, what do you have to say about this?"
They all knew that the Xie family was targeting the Qin family, and that the two families had a history of conflict.
Their families have the backing of the imperial family, giving them a special status. If they rashly intervene in the disputes within their social circles and their families find out, they will inevitably face severe punishment and will not be allowed to show their faces easily.
It was perfectly reasonable for Xie Zhan to take action.
After all, the Qin family's foundation is comparable to that of the Yuan family, and Wang Qi, who is only ranked eighth on the rich list in Beijing, is simply not a match for the Qin family.
If Wang Qi were allowed to be publicly humiliated by a kid from another province, the entire elite circle of Beijing would lose face completely, and these local geniuses simply could not accept such a thing.
A faint hint of coldness flashed in Xie Zhan's eyes, but his face remained smiling as he gave instructions to his attendants:
"Go tell Wang Qi that we cannot lose face in the capital."
He spoke casually, as if he were instructing someone on a trivial matter.
The attendant beside him immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, young master."
As soon as he finished speaking, the attendant quickly turned around and went downstairs, heading straight for the jade exhibition area.
Downstairs at the booth, the atmosphere was already extremely tense, with a palpable sense of tension throughout.
Seeing that the two were on the verge of a direct confrontation, the person in charge of the exhibition area hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to dissuade them, but it was not hard to tell from the bias in his tone that he was on Wang Qi's side.
"Sir, please calm down. There's a proper order to things. This jade Buddha was the first treasure that Mr. Wang took a liking to. If you like jade carvings, we have many other similar pieces in our exhibition area. You can take a look and see if there's anything else you like."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jianjun maintained his smiling expression, but his eyes held a sharp and cunning glint as he calmly retorted.
"You mean that if he glanced at the jade Buddha but didn't set a price, no one else could bid?"
"All the treasures in the display cases tonight follow the same logic: no bidding required? You can just say 'I like it' and buy it, right?"
A barrage of questions left the person in charge speechless, their face turning pale and then red, utterly embarrassed. They stammered for a long time before finally managing to answer truthfully.
"Naturally, it is not true that all the treasures in the display case will ultimately be won by the highest bidder, following the rules of bidding."
"That settles it." Qin Jianjun waved his hand casually, his tone domineering.
"If I bid higher than him, this jade Buddha will be mine."
Wang Qi, who was standing to the side, could no longer suppress his anger. His anger burst forth, and he stared at Qin Jianjun with a sinister look in his eyes, his aura sharp and intimidating.
"I have no idea where you get the confidence to steal what I've set your sights on?"
"Why don't you go to the capital and find out who I, Wang Qi, am? How much is I worth?"
"You think you can compete with me in terms of wealth, you brat from another province? You're utterly ignorant and arrogant!"
Qin Jianjun slightly raised his head, his hands behind his back, his posture upright, his eyes filled with extreme disdain and indifference, and spoke calmly:
The difference in wealth between us is like the difference between an ant and the sky!
His extremely arrogant words, coupled with his calm and composed demeanor, instantly silenced the entire room once again.
Wang Qi was so angry that his blood was churning, and he gritted his teeth and sneered.
"Very good! I hope that even if you lose the bid later, your backbone will still be as tough as your tone!"
Qin Jianjun tilted his head back and chuckled, his tone full of mockery.
"I also hope your knees don't buckle too quickly."
Just as tensions were about to rise, a calm male voice suddenly rang out from behind the crowd.
"Wang Qi, Young Master Xie Zhan asked me to pass on a message to you."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Xie's personal attendant.
His gaze fell on Wang Qi, and he said, word by word:
"We cannot lose face in the capital."
Wang Qi was jolted, the rage in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by extreme joy and excitement, a gleaming light flashing across his face.
He never expected that Xie Zhan, the eldest son of the Xie family who was enjoying the view from upstairs, would actually pay attention to this conflict among the lower classes and even send someone to deliver a message of support.
Who is Xie Zhan? He is the direct heir of the Xie family, one of the four great families in the capital, the future leader of the Xie family, and a top figure among the elites of the capital! And the Xie family in the capital is just a branch; behind them is a terrifying main family!
Being noticed by Xie Zhan and receiving his tacit support is not simply about winning a battle for treasures, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to curry favor with the Xie family!
If he can seize this opportunity and win the favor of the Xie family, his Changsheng Holdings will be able to take another step forward and firmly establish itself in the top circles of Beijing!
Wang Qi instantly suppressed all his restlessness, his expression becoming extremely solemn. He bowed deeply to the Xie family's attendants, his tone firm and resounding.
"I will certainly live up to Young Master Xie's expectations!"
