He Zhizhong was calm and composed, standing upright with his chest out. Although 79 Free is just a personal website, the kind of composure and ease that it exudes after going through many hardships is dazzling. Liu Chuan felt like he was seeing this fat, jovial, and always smiling merchant clearly for the first time.
"This is the rule. The same price, the one who gets the seat first gets it; different seats, the higher bidder gets it." The white-haired old Persian's words drew Liu Chong's attention back from He Zhizhong, and he turned his head to look at Yuan Shi Jiu for help, Yuan Shi Jiu nodded affirmatively, indicating that this rule did exist. As a Persian merchant who had been in China for less than ten years, he had his own set of rules for doing things, let alone in such a situation, as the host of the Treasure Fighting Assembly, how could the old Persian speak nonsense?
Liu Chang helplessly turned his head, watching as the crowd calmly and methodically helped the person who had presented the agate lamp tree onto the seat, asked for his name, which was Mia, and announced that today Mia's agate lamp tree won first prize, and together they paid their respects to him. Then he looked at He Zhizhong with a calm and composed face, He Dalang with a determined look, Li Yin with a complacent and leisurely expression, and the person sitting next to Li Yin with a gentle smile. Thinking of his own impending fate, he couldn't help but feel suffocated and bitter, his face revealing a trapped beast-like expression, clenching his fists and grinding his teeth until they crackled.
Pan Rong saw this and hastily whispered: "Don't be impatient!"
Liu Chong said in a hateful tone: "Why aren't you anxious? I'm not inferior to him, he has all the advantages of heaven, earth, and human harmony. If he deliberately opposes me today and makes it impossible for me to buy this treasure, what can I do?" Whether or not he can buy this treasure is related to his whole life, how can he not be anxious? He couldn't help but feel extremely regretful at the moment, if only he had known earlier, he shouldn't have deliberately provoked them when the He family members came in just now.
But at that time, it was not surprising that he would be in such a state. In this situation, seeing Peony, he was already very surprised and even a little excited, but Peony saw him here and ignored him, instead smiling sweetly and following closely behind Li Wei, the two of them whispering to each other from time to time, their intimate and affectionate words were endless... This kind of Peony, he had never seen before... Losing to Li Wei, who was neither an official nor a merchant, but looked better than him and had more ability, was simply a great shame! How could he bear it?! At that time, he hated to pierce ten or eight transparent holes in Li Wei's body and slap Peony with ten or eight slaps, scolding her for being shameless, just to vent his anger. He barely held back, where did he have the energy to think about whether offending the He family would make his situation even more difficult?
Pan Xiangxiao knew his temper and sighed softly, "You, it's just that your stubbornness is not good, you've suffered losses many times, but still can't change. 79 free web, 79 priority winners; different seating, the higher price gets it? In short, we must get this thing today, so let's spend a bit more money. Don't worry, if the money in your hand is not enough, I have some in my hand, and I will definitely help you achieve your wish."
Liu Chang said, "I'm afraid the Li family will intervene..." He had enough reason to believe that Li Wei's appearance here was not a coincidence. From a personal perspective, the Li family was also very wealthy, and if the two families worked together, they would have a good chance of winning with Pan Rong's help; but if Li Wei wasn't trying to get revenge for personal reasons, but rather for someone else's sake, then he probably wouldn't stand a chance.
Pan Xiang also thought of this, and comfortingly patted his shoulder, looking at several companions: "No matter what, let's give it a try? Since everyone has come, let's all do our best to help Shu."
Those few people all nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, just for the sake of arguing, we can't let them get away with it."
Liu Chang's face revealed a few smiles, and he turned to ask Yuan Shi Jiu: "In your opinion, Nineteenth Brother, what is the value of that seven-treasured purple canopy, that golden pearl, and this agate lamp tree?" Although everyone had agreed to help him, he couldn't help but make other plans.

Reply: Chapter 71 Treasure Meeting
Among the many treasures today, this thing is the most eye-catching, and its price must be very high. The He family can't possibly swallow everything, after all, there are only a few people who can afford to buy such things. As a shrewd businessman, one should keep more money to prepare for more affordable treasures that more people can buy.
Yuan Shijiu said lightly: "The seven-treasured purple gauze canopy is worth 18 million taels of silver; the golden pearls are worth 25 million taels of silver. As for this agate lamp, it's worth over 10 million taels of silver."
The price is okay, but Liu Chuan furrowed his brow: "Why say 'above'? Don't you have a fixed number?"
Yuan Shi Jiu said: "That nephrite is a whole piece of nephrite carved, so big and with such good quality, it's already rare. Moreover, that's not ordinary nephrite, the lotus flower lamp holder on top contains natural water. That's why after the light is turned on, the lotus flower seems to come alive, sparkling and shining. Such a treasure can't be sought after, that's what I said above."
Pan Xiang looked at him with a hint of surprise: "Is there water inside? Why didn't I notice it just now?"
Yuan nineteen slightly sneered and turned his face away. If it were another noble brother, he would have already lost his temper, but Pan Rong didn't get angry either, and laughed: "Such a precious treasure, I must go and broaden my horizons, take a closer look." After finishing speaking, she really got up, pretended to ask the white-haired old Persian, and pulled Liu Can over to see the lamp tree. Indeed, just as Yuan nineteen said, not one bit false.
Liu Chang and Pan Rong exchanged a glance, then retreated back to their seats. Pan Rong walked up to He Zhizhong with a smile, bowed, and said: "Old Master He, may I ask how much you're willing to pay for this agate lamp?"
This little devil, He Zhizhong smiled slightly: "Hasn't asked if the master is willing to sell, and how much money he wants to sell for."
Pan Xiang immediately turned around and asked Mia: "May I ask if the merchant is selling this treasure? How much does it cost?"
Mia didn't hesitate at all, speaking in broken Chinese: "Money doesn't show its face, it's already been taken out so of course it's for sale. One million, not a penny less."
Pan Xiang and Liu Chuan immediately glanced at the expressions of the surrounding Muslim merchants, but saw that everyone was nodding slightly, no one thought it was expensive. Then they thought, indeed worth this price, looking at Yuan Shi Jiu's gaze with a few more respectful intentions. Yuan Shi Jiu's expression towards them was as if he hadn't seen anything, a kind of indifference.
"Heizi Zhong slowly said: 'A thousand dollars, I'll buy it.' The crowd rushed forward to congratulate him and Mia, he smiled and raised his hand to high-five Mia."
Liu Chong saw that he was about to make a deal and hastily said: "Wait! Didn't you say the highest bidder gets it? I'll offer 1.1 million yuan."
He Zhizhong's expression didn't change as he calmly said: "1.5 million."
"1.6 million."
Liu Chuan said: "41,000!" He calculated the abacus accurately, no matter how much He Zhizhong had, he would always have one more than He Zhizhong. At this point, the money was still within his psychological tolerance, and he didn't need Pan Rong's help. It was just that it was his own money, which came with difficulty, who knew if there would be a place to use a lot of money in the future? Of course, he could save one more. Moreover, he also felt a little uneasy in his heart, fearing that following He Zhizhong's loud shout would result in a big loss.
He Zhizhong glanced at him and said, "Four hundred and twenty thousand." However, unlike before, he didn't suddenly raise the price by 50,000 yuan, but instead carefully increased it.
He Zhizhong's caution made Liu Changan's previous hesitation decrease a bit, and the two slowly bid up to 50 million. The surrounding Hu merchants didn't see any unusual changes, but instead watched them bid with great interest.
Li Wei suddenly thought of something and said: "Sixty million."
The money in his hand was not much, Liu Chuan originally wanted to retreat, but seeing Peony staring at Li Wei's appearance, a sudden wave of annoyance rose in his heart, a hot blood rushed to his head, making him completely forget his previous plan, ignoring Pan Rong's scolding, he made a bold decision in an instant: "70 million!"
There was a moment of silence in the room, followed by a burst of noise. Li You bowed to Liu Chuan with a flourish: "Please." Before Liu Chuan could react, the white-haired old Persian had already come down and pulled his hand, slapping palms with Maya, indicating that the deal was done, asking everyone to bear witness.
Liu Chuan's first reaction was that he had been deceived! He turned back angrily to look at He Zhizhong and Li Yin, but saw no special expression on their faces. With a sigh of regret, he turned his attention to the golden pearl. Peony jumped up and down behind him, marveling as she held up the huge pearl to examine it in the light, her beautiful phoenix eyes shining with delight. Li Yin smiled and explained softly to her, "I've heard that Muslim merchants love to hide pearls inside their bodies, but I wonder where they could hide a pearl this big? And how big of an opening would they need to cut?"
Peony looked at him disbelievingly and said in a low voice: "You're bragging! I don't believe it."
"It's true, if you don't believe me, ask them."
"Peony Road said: 'I won't ask, what if others give me a cold shoulder? Otherwise, you ask.'"
Liu Chong could no longer bear it and walked over to ask the owner of the pearl: "How much are you selling this pearl for?"
He Zhizhong looked at him with a sympathetic gaze: "You can't buy all the treasures in the world. Why exhaust your family's wealth just for one breath?"
Liu Chang was like a sudden enlightenment, staring blankly as He Zhizhong helped Li Yi buy the pearl for 20 million yuan. Li Yi handed the pearl to Peony, who carefully held it and showed it to her nephews.
Pan Xiang saw him suddenly dazed, and couldn't help but stamp her foot: "No money? Regretting now? Too late! The Empress Dowager's place indeed has something to be sent, what about the Imperial Consort's place? Hmm?! Not to mention that we still need to buy that seven-treasured purple silk canopy again. Hurry up! The He family is going to buy a canopy again!"
It has come to this, Liu Chong had no choice but to grit his teeth and bid against He Zhizhong again. This time, however, He Zhizhong didn't make things difficult for him, and he easily bought the account for 1.7 million dollars. Then, he went on to buy several precious items such as rhino horns, crystal, pearls, gold, and red agate from various merchants, but instead of leaving, he enthusiastically evaluated them with Li Yi, Li Man Niang, Peony, and a few children. However, the most important lesson the children learned at this auction was not how to identify precious items, but rather the extent of the damage caused by their rivalry, and how to utilize their opponent's weaknesses to achieve their goals easily.
