Ren Xunfeng sneered when he saw the reactions of Shen Qi and Shen Qiu.
"You two don't have to act anymore. Who do you think I, Ren Xunfeng, am? Although I like antiques, I won't compromise my principles just because of this hobby! Please go back!"
Chen Qiu's heart skipped a beat. If he angered Ren Xunfeng here, it would be difficult to get him to re-inspect the project as soon as possible.
Although the Shen family has returned to the position of the richest family in Jincheng, they cannot go too far. If they use tough measures to force Ren Xunfeng, it is likely that the Shen family will fall into the whirlpool again.
If Ren Xunfeng waits three months before re-inspecting, these three months will cause significant losses to the Shen family.
Even though the Shen family has received 20 billion in capital injection, they are not willing to bear such a loss.
So Chen Qiu looked at Shen Qi again, hoping that the omnipotent second grandfather could think of a solution.
Just as Shen Qi was about to speak, a dignified old man walked over. Upon seeing the stall owner, he bowed slightly and said, "Boss Wang, didn't you just say that someone wanted to pay one million for the wooden box I saw earlier? Where is that person?"
The stall owner saw Gao Qingmu coming over, and his heart moved. He quickly pointed at Shen Qi and said, "Mr. Gao, this young man is willing to pay one million for this wooden box, but I have already sold it to this gentleman for one hundred yuan. According to this gentleman, he did this because he had something to ask of him. He wanted to give him one million yuan in this way, so he made such an outrageous offer."
"I was just thinking, if this wooden box really does sell for one million, if word gets out, it might affect your reputation. That's why I took the liberty of telling you."
Gao Qingmu nodded slightly. He was a recognized master in the antique world. He had been in the antique market for many years and had seen a lot of people using antiques as bribes. So he was not surprised at this time.
As for Shen Qi saying that this wooden box was worth one million, he absolutely did not believe it.
When the stall owner first came to him with the wooden box, he had already looked at it carefully. It was indeed an old item. It was a pity that someone had processed it a second time, turning a good item into a handicraft, so its value was naturally greatly reduced.
Gao Qingmu came to Shen Qi and said, "Young man, are you willing to pay one million for this wooden box?"
Shen Qi nodded, "That's right. If you just look at this wooden box, it's worth a million. But if you open it and see what's inside, its value will be hard to say."
Gao Qingmu laughed immediately.
"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. I can see clearly what this wooden box is and what its value is. If it hadn't been processed again, it would indeed be valuable. But someone was so clever and carved it into this shape, and its value has changed. If you think this wooden box is valuable just because it's an old item, then you are really wrong!"
Ren Xunfeng was fond of antiques and naturally knew Gao Qingmu's name. Seeing Gao Qingmu coming over in person, he hurriedly said, "Grandpa Gao, please don't argue with them. They're not doing this because of the value of this wooden box, but because I'm attracted to it. Their target is me. But don't worry, I won't go against my principles just for this little money. No matter what they say, I won't sell this wooden box to them!"
Gao Qingmu's expression looked slightly better. In his mind, he had already determined the value of this wooden box. As long as Shen Qi and the others did not use other means to increase the value of the wooden box to one million, he would not care too much.
Shen Qi said, "Mr. Ren, you are really wrong. I said that this wooden box is worth one million, which is not excessive at all. Since you don't believe it, then open the wooden box and you will know it when you see it."
Ren Xunfeng was very disdainful, "Look! This wooden box has been opened, why don't you tell me what's inside!"
Shen Qi took the wooden box from Ren Xunfeng and said, "Let me confirm with you again. I want to buy this wooden box for one million. When I open it, no matter what's inside, you can't regret it. Even if you open the box and there's nothing inside, I won't regret it either!"
Ren Xunfeng shook his head, "Don't! Although I, Ren Xunfeng, am not a wealthy man, I don't mind a hundred yuan. Just open it. Even if there is a treasure inside, I won't ask you for a penny. But if there is nothing inside, you must apologize to me and Mr. Gao in front of everyone!"
The stall owner echoed, "That's right! You must apologize! In the antique market, it's okay if you misread something, but you can't speak nonsense!"
Shen Qiu's expression changed, and he immediately took a step forward, "What do you mean by that?"
Although Shen Qi did not express his opinion, Shen Qiu had to express his attitude. After all, he was the younger generation, and Shen Qi was his second grandfather. How could his second grandfather not react when someone contradicted him in person?
What's more, the Shen family is the richest family in Jincheng. Let alone Ren Xunfeng, what can Gao Qingmu do?
As long as the Shen family reveals even a little bit of information, these people will be in trouble!
It’s just that Shen Qiu didn’t want to use the power of the Shen family to deal with them, but wanted to solve the problems of the Shen family real estate company through normal means.
"Don't be impatient."
Shen Qi patted Shen Qiu's shoulder, then looked at Ren Xunfeng and said, "Since you said so, I'll do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qi tapped the wooden box lightly with his right hand, and a mechanism popped out from the bottom of the box. Only then did everyone see that the bottom of the wooden box was a double-layer structure!
Ren Xunfeng had just opened the wooden box, and there was nothing inside. However, after Shen Qi triggered the mechanism, the mechanism at the bottom of the wooden box popped open, and there was actually a very small compartment inside.
Logically speaking, Gao Qingmu is a recognized figure in the antique world, Ren Xunfeng is also an antique enthusiast, and the stall owner makes a living from antiques. Their vision is absolutely impeccable, but the mechanism at the bottom of this wooden box is really too ingenious, and the interlayer is too small. It can be completely hidden in the wooden box without arousing suspicion from others.
Unless someone dares to break open the wooden box directly, the trick inside cannot be seen with the naked eye.
When they saw Shen Qi easily open the mechanism of the wooden box, Gao Qingmu, Ren Xunfeng and the stall owner were all stunned.
There is actually such a thing?
Shen Qiu also showed a surprised expression, but his expression soon changed and became complacent.
Did you see it?
My second grandfather said that there was something in this wooden box, but you didn’t believe it. Now you’ve been slapped in the face, haven’t you?
