Even though Shen Yu had seen some of the world yesterday when he was with Shen Qi, such as a robe worth more than 10 million, he was still greatly shocked when he heard that Mr. Zhou was willing to pay 100 million to buy this old pocket watch.
One hundred million is not a small amount for the Shen family!
Zhao Xiaowan didn't know what to say. The funds that their Zhao family could raise in a short period of time were only 100 to 200 million yuan. Now, Mr. Zhou actually offered a sky-high price of 100 million yuan!
At this moment, her eyes began to flash. Is this Shen Qi's true face?
Not to mention that Shen Qi came from the countryside, even if Shen Qi had no skills, as long as he had 100 million in cash, he would definitely become a VIP of many families in Jincheng!
Thinking about what Zhao Qing said to her at this time, she suddenly felt that her father was really far-sighted. Before others discovered that Shen Qi was hiding his identity as a big boss, he first showed goodwill to Shen Qi and took the initiative to win him over. After everyone found out that Shen Qi was the real big boss, their Zhao family would be able to seize the opportunity.
Just for the sake of this pocket watch worth 100 million, she found Shen Qi more and more pleasing to the eye. Not only did he have a perfect temperament, but Shen Qi's eyebrows and face exuded great attraction everywhere, which made her yearn for him!
Old Master Zhou looked at Shen Qi eagerly, waiting for his reply.
In his opinion, one hundred million was enough to impress Shen Qi, even though he was a member of the Shen family.
However, Shen Qi shook his head again.
“Not for sale!”
Not selling?!
Shen Yu, Zhao Xiaowan and the clerk Xiao Chen all opened their eyes wide.
What did they hear?
One hundred million yuan, but you can’t buy this pocket watch?
What is Shen Qi thinking?
Does he know what he's missing?
While Shen Yu was shocked, he thought of the robe from yesterday, and suddenly an even more absurd idea popped up in his mind: Second Grandfather refused to give in, could it be that the value of this pocket watch is far more than 100 million?
This is unlikely, right?
Mr. Zhou's brows were already furrowed into a frown. He couldn't understand why one hundred million couldn't impress Shen Qi?
Looking at Shen Qi's calm expression, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Shen Qi knew the true value of this pocket watch? Otherwise, why didn't his expression change at all after hearing the offer of 100 million?
What he didn't know was that Shen Qi really looked down upon the 100 million.
Shen Qi came out to relax, not to make money. He still likes this pocket watch very much, so why should he sell it?
If it can be repaired that's the best, but if it can't be repaired just keep it, it doesn't matter anyway.
Old Master Zhou took another deep breath. He felt his heart beating faster. This was the first time he had this feeling since he came to Jincheng.
"Mr. Shen, how about this? You name a price and I won't bargain. How about that? I really like this pocket watch and want to buy it for my collection."
Shen Qi shook his head. "No, I won't sell this pocket watch. Shop assistant, are you sure you can't repair it?"
The clerk, Xiao Chen, was still immersed in the terrifying 100 million yuan offer from Mr. Zhou. When he heard Shen Qi's voice, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Shen, it's not that I don't want to repair it for you, but my skills are limited. I dare not touch your pocket watch worth 100 million yuan. If it gets knocked or dented, you can't afford to compensate me even if you sell me."
Shen Qi didn't force it and stretched out his hand in front of Mr. Zhou, "Okay then, give me back my pocket watch and I'll find someone to repair it."
Old Master Zhou was conflicted. Now that the pocket watch was in his hands, should he return it to Shen Qi?
Thinking of Shen Qi's identity and his own identity, Mr. Zhou finally gritted his teeth and handed the pocket watch to Shen Qi.
"Mr. Shen, are you really not going to consider it again?"
"No."
Shen Qi took the pocket watch with a firm tone and without any hesitation.
Old Master Zhou looked lost, as if he had lost something he loved dearly.
"Let's go."
Shen Qi turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't expect to hear Mr. Zhou's voice behind him again.
"Two hundred million! I'll give you two hundred million!!"
Chen Yu, Zhao Xiaowan and the shop assistant Xiao Chen were stunned for a moment, and then became numb.
When Mr. Zhou first offered 50 million, they were shocked. When he offered 100 million, they felt that their values were challenged. But when Mr. Zhou offered 200 million, they no longer felt anything.
Anyway, they are all sky-high prices, sky-high prices that can shock everyone in the world. It’s just that the price has increased from one to two. What’s so surprising about that?
Really, not at all! Surprised!
Only Shen Qi did not stop. He really didn't take Mr. Zhou's offer seriously.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhou's hands began to tremble and he took two quick steps to catch up with Shen Qi.
"Mr. Shen, two hundred million is about right. I've already given a high premium. What exactly do you want in exchange for selling this pocket watch to me?"
Shen Qi still shook his head.
“Not for sale.”
Old Master Zhou's body trembled twice, and he couldn't understand it. Is there really someone in this world who is not tempted by money?
Or is it that this kid Shen Qi has no idea of the true value of this pocket watch and thinks it is a rare treasure?
"stop!!"
Mr. Zhou was unwilling to give up and called Shen Qi again.
"I know the history of your pocket watch! On November 11, 2014, a pocket watch also known as the world's most complicated was auctioned. It sold for $21.3 million, or about 130 million RMB, making it the undisputed king of watches."
"I once heard a rumor that in 1925, there wasn't just one most complicated watch, but two were made simultaneously. One was made in gold, which is the one auctioned in 2014, and the other was even more exquisitely crafted, but its appearance was not very conspicuous. If I'm not mistaken, it's the one in your hand, Mr. Shen."
"It's been seven years since 2014. Taking inflation into account, the 130 million back then is roughly equivalent to 200 million today. I'll add another 20 million to the price, for a total of 220 million. All I ask is that you sell this pocket watch to me. I'll find someone to repair it, and I'll cover the costs. What do you think?"
When Mr. Zhou said this, Shen Yu, Zhao Xiaowan and the clerk Xiao Chen were shocked again.
Originally, they thought that Mr. Zhou was attracted by the pocket watch in Shen Qi's hand and liked it very much, so he asked for a sky-high price for it. But in fact, the pocket watch in Shen Qi's hand was far from worth this price.
But the truth is, the pocket watch in Shen Qi's hand is actually worth more than 200 million!
Inflated prices and real prices are two completely different concepts!
In other words, as long as Shen Qi is willing, even if he doesn't sell this pocket watch to Mr. Zhou, he can sell it somewhere else, and the price will not be less than 200 million!
Especially the clerk Xiao Chen, his eyes looking at Shen Qi were full of deep complexity: This guy is a walking billionaire!
