When Tan Wenbo learned that Jiang Yuzhu was looking for him, he felt so happy. But who knew that when he came over and found that guy Li Qi was there, his smiling face instantly turned gloomy.
"Brother Tan, long time no see." Li Qi said with a smile.
Tan Wenbai ignored him and said to Jiang Yuzhu who was standing aside: "Yuzhu, why did you come to me for something?"
Seeing that he ignored her, Li Qi was not embarrassed at all and said: "I asked her to call you out."
Hearing this, Tan Wenbai frowned: "Brother Li, do you want to ask me for something? Isn't it because he wants to play some guessing games again?"
"Brother Tan is not here today to guess riddles," Li Qi said.
Tan Wenbo raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you looking for me?"
"I'm looking for Brother Tan because I want you to do me a favor."
"oh?"
Hearing Li Qi say that he wanted help from him, Tan Wenbai rolled his eyes and said, "I wonder if Brother Li needs my help for anything?"
Li Qi and Jiang Yuzhu looked at each other. Jiang Yuzhu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "He wants to hold a cocktail party and asks you to help him find some people."
"What is a cocktail party?" Tan Wenbo didn't understand.
Li Qi smiled and said: "I am the host and invite everyone to come and drink and chat together to enhance our relationship."
Tan Wenbo asked doubtfully: "Why is it so?"
"Brother Tan, I just arrived in Suzhou City not long ago and I don't know many people. I would like to take this cocktail party to get to know more people," Li Qi said.
Tan Wenbo reacted: "That's it!"
He couldn't say he disliked Li Qi, nor could he say he liked him, but he just found him a bit annoying.
What kind of guessing game was there last time and all kinds of tricks on him? If it weren't for Jiang Yuzhu's sake, Tan Wenbai would have turned against him long ago.
"This matter..."
Just when Tan Wenbo was about to speak, Jiang Yuzhu said to Li Qi: "I told you not to come to him, but you don't believe it. Who can he call over?"
Li Qidao: "Yuzhu, you can't say that. When I first met Brother Tan, I thought he was extraordinary and he must know a lot of people..."
"Do you know many people? I can't see you, so why not go find Qian Ruiming? Although that guy is a sissy, he is still quite reliable in his work."
"That's all we can do..."
Tan Wenbo was a little confused, where am I? Who am I?
I just said something, but I haven’t said yet whether this matter can be done. Why did the two of them...
Seeing Jiang Yuzhu and Li Qi stand up to leave, Tan Wenbai hurriedly said: "Wait a minute!"
Li Qi looked at him: "Brother Tan?"
"Aren't you just looking for people to come over for a party? As soon as I, Tan Wenbai, open my mouth, I'm afraid not many people in Su City can refuse." Tan Wenbai said.
Li Qi struck while the iron was hot: "Brother Tan, can you find some people who are interested in jade? I will have a good thing to share with everyone."
"What?"
Li Qi pretended to be mysterious and said: "But you already know."
Jiang Yuzhu came over and patted Tan Wenbai on the shoulder: "Don't let me down. I told Li Qi that you are the most reliable person around me."
Tan Wenbai was startled when he heard this: "Yuzhu, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"
Looking at Tan Wenbai who looked like he had been given blood, Li Qi raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yuzhu: "Let's go."
"good."
Watching the two people leaving, Tan Wenbo felt a strange feeling in his heart for some reason.
…
In order to hold a cocktail party, Li Qi found Chun Sanniang and cleared a place on the first floor. He prepared various fruit snacks and drinks.
Tan Wenbo also acted very quickly, sending out a lot of invitations and basically calling all the jade-loving people in Su City.
Zhuo Kunyu learned about this and came over to join in the fun. He also wanted to see how Li Qi could help him get 300,000 taels.
At the beginning of the reception, Tan Wenbo introduced Li Qi to everyone.
After the atmosphere was almost calm, Li Qi glanced at everyone and said, "I'm here for the first time. I hope you will take care of me in the future."
The people who come here are basically the big families in Sioux City. There are two main reasons why they come here.
First, Tan Wenbo sent them an invitation. After all, the Tan family is well-known as a big jade owner in Su City. It can be said that the jade business in Su City is monopolized by the Tan family.
Another reason is that when Tan Wenbai wrote the invitation, he said that it would be a surprise to come to the reception.
Everyone wanted to come over and see what Mr. Tan's so-called surprise was.
After a few words of greeting, Li Qi saw that it was almost done, so he took out the luminous cup and said: "All of you here today are jade experts. I would like to ask you to help me look at an object."
Everyone couldn't help but move closer, and when they saw the luminous cup in the brocade box, they couldn't help but be startled.
"Is this the Western Region Luminous Cup?"
"This kind of workmanship is unique in Daxia."
"Could this pair of luminous cups be the unparalleled ones from Kashi?" someone in the crowd said.
When Li Qi heard this, he looked over and saw a middle-aged man.
"Does this brother know this thing?"
The man nodded and walked over, looked at the luminous cup on the table and said, "This thing is called Wushuang. It was brought to the Central Plains as a tribute from the Kashi Kingdom in the Western Regions. I was lucky enough to see it once many years ago."
Li Qi nodded and asked, "Why is this luminous cup called Wushuang?"
The man said: "It is said that it comes from the meaning of Unparalleled in the World."
At this time, Tan Wenbo came over and said, "Is this the surprise that Brother Li is talking about?"
Li Qi nodded: "Yes, everyone who came here today must be knowledgeable people, so I'll just say it bluntly. I want to sell these pair of luminous cups."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at each other, and many people became interested.
Someone asked: "I wonder how much silver Mr. Li wants to sell?"
Li Qi smiled and gestured with four fingers: "Four hundred thousand taels."
After hearing this quotation, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
Tan Wenbo was also stunned for a moment: "Is this luminous cup worth so much?"
Someone said: "Master Li's price is too high. Although this luminous cup is rare, it is only worth 90,000 taels at most."
Zhuo Kunyu said that the market price of this luminous cup is 80,000 taels, which is pretty much the same as what this man said.
"Brother Li, you are selling something worth 90,000 taels for 400,000 taels. Isn't this a bit outrageous?" Tan Wenbai said with a bitter smile.
Is this guy crazy about money, or does he think we are all being taken advantage of?
"Yes, this pair of luminous cups is indeed only worth 90,000 taels now, but in the future, let alone 400,000 taels, you may not be able to buy them even at a higher price," Li Qi said.
Everyone was confused when they heard this, and Zhuo Kunyu, who was sitting in the corner, also didn't understand what Li Qi wanted to do.
"Before that, let me tell you a story." Li Qi said.
After closing the brocade box, Li Qi picked up a glass of wine with one hand behind his back, looking enigmatic, as if he was brewing something.
