Chapter 55: Local Tycoon



The man who was shouting that everything was wrapped up was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a big gold chain as thick as a finger around his neck.

The gold rings and gold watches on his fingers and wrists all indicate that he is rich, very rich.

He spoke Mandarin with a distinct foreign accent, and it was obvious that he was not a local.

Logically speaking, such a person should not be familiar with Wei Nian.

Just when Wei Nian was wondering why he wanted to intercept his beard, he suddenly saw the shadow of Manager Yao behind the man dressed as a nouveau riche.

Wei Nian stood up, and Su Jianwei and Li Fengsheng followed suit.

He looked at Manager Yao, who had a smile on his face but couldn't hide the resentment in his eyes. What was unclear? It turned out that he had sent someone to cause trouble.

It seems that he is not too stupid. He should know that he bought a fake product yesterday.

Wei Nian crossed his arms, looked calmly and nonchalantly at the man in a black short-sleeved shirt and a large gold chain around his neck and said, "Okay, you guys come."

He smiled and looked at the stall owner, "Lao Zhang, this gentleman said that there is no need to discount the original price."

The stall owner surnamed Zhang and Wei Nian were old acquaintances, so how could he not understand what Wei Nian meant? He quickly said with a smile, "This boss really has good taste!"

"All our goods just arrived late last night. Look, this soil is all new!" Lao Zhang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, you won't be cheated or taken advantage of. Everything I sell here is absolutely authentic!"

When Su Jianwei heard this familiar sentence, he inexplicably thought of the slogan of the Two Yuan Supermarket in his previous life.

You know what, it sounds quite friendly.

"Then what was the original price?"

The local tycoon originally came here with Shopkeeper Yao to broaden his horizons. On the way, he heard about the magical powers of Wei Nian, and with Shopkeeper Yao's instigation, he said these words.

To be honest, he doesn't really care whether these things are real or fake. He is not short of money, so it doesn't matter even if they are fake.

He just wanted to show off his financial strength in this antique street. It didn't matter if he was regarded as a foolish and wealthy nouveau riche. His purpose of coming here today was to break into the antique circle in the imperial capital.

You have to know that most of the people who can enter the antique circle of the imperial capital are old people of the imperial capital, people of the imperial capital who have power and connections.

In the capital, sometimes money is more useful than circles.

So this time he came here not to spend money to buy antiques, but to spend money to buy a circle.

"Boss, don't underestimate these pottery figurines and bronze pieces. They haven't been repaired much. Once they are, they will be priceless treasures!"

Lao Zhang smiled and said, "If you can buy all of these, I, Lao Zhang, will introduce you to a restorer who will definitely give you a surprise."

"So, what's the price?"

Under the dim light, Lao Zhang's smile was somewhat flattering but also had a hint of shrewdness.

He held up four fingers to the local tycoon.

The local tycoon asked, "Forty thousand?"

Old Zhang smiled and shook his head. "I have quite a few of these things. I'll give you a discount and sell them to you for 400,000 yuan."

Su Jianwei raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and happened to meet the eyes of Wei Nian, who was smiling across from her. Wei Nian blinked at her.

There must be real stuff among this pile of things, otherwise Wei Nian and Li Fengsheng wouldn’t have looked at it for so long.

However, sometimes, just because something is real doesn’t mean it is valuable or worth that much money.

Just when Su Jianwei, Wei Nian and the others around them thought that the local tycoon was about to start cursing, he said readily, "Okay."

Not only Su Jianwei, but even Wei Nian looked at the local tycoon in front of them with some disbelief.

The local tycoon smiled and said, "A stall that Young Master Wei approves of must have something special."

The local tycoon looked at Wei Nian and said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Jin Bo. Consider these things as a gift from me, Old Jin, to Young Master Wei!"

Wei Nian: “…”

Is he a little sick?

He spent 400,000 to buy these things that are not worth 40,000 as a gift to himself.

"A gentleman doesn't take away what others like. If Boss Jin likes it, just keep it yourself. I don't need it."

Wei Nian would never accept other people's things casually.

He is not that stupid. He has to do things for others after receiving the gifts.

Wei Nian originally thought that Jin Bo would continue to pester him, but he unexpectedly scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hahaha, fine, then I'll keep these things for myself."

He called out to the more polite boy behind him and said, "Pay the money."

After saying that, he looked at Lao Zhang and said, "I'm in trouble with the restorer."

I have already bought the things, so I don’t mind spending a little money to repair them.

Lao Zhang nodded happily. Today was a great start. He met a big fool right after opening.

After seeing Wei Nian, Su Jianwei and the other two leave, Jin Bo hurriedly followed them.

He said familiarly, "Young Master Wei, do you know what that thing was just now?"

Wei Nian was speechless looking at Jin Bo. "You dare to buy it without knowing anything? Aren't you just idle?"

That's not 40 cents or 4 yuan, that's a full 400,000 yuan!

Four hundred thousand yuan could buy a house, but it was all wasted by Jin Bo.

Wei Nian thought that his family was rich, but compared with the local tycoon Boss Jin, he felt that his family was more cautious in spending money.

At least I'm not interested in wasting money.

Jin Bo smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that the stall owner will see that you guys are just kids and want to cheat you! Besides, I'm not short of money."

Wei Nian was speechless. He glanced at Li Fengsheng beside him.

Li Fengsheng just gestured to him to take those gold, silver and copper pieces. Although these things look scattered, they should be able to be made into a small clock after repair.

Li Fengsheng apprenticed to a master craftsman in the museum, specializing in repairing these old items. Just now, he wanted to take that set of items home and repair them.

But who would have thought that Jin Bo would intercept it.

After Wei Nian and Li Fengsheng exchanged a glance, Wei Nian took the initiative to say to Jin Bo, "Although I think it's foolish for you to waste these four hundred thousand dollars, I'm willing to introduce you to a restorer."

"That restorer's craftsmanship is better than Lao Zhang's, and his fees are reasonable. If you're willing, you can give your item to me after the ghost market is over. I'll help you repair it and bring it back to you after it's repaired. You can then inspect the item and pay."

"Hahahaha, sure, no problem!"

Wei Nian looked at Jin Bo, who seemed innocent, and said, "Since you know who I am, you should know that I won't cheat you."

Otherwise, the reputation of their Wei family will be ruined.

Shopkeeper Yao, who was following behind him, rolled his eyes silently when he heard this. His twenty-five thousand was just wasted because of him being cheated away!

He just didn't believe that after he had said so much to Boss Jin, Boss Jin still believed this yellow-haired boy.
