Chapter 681 Can I touch it?
The waiter carefully placed the tray on the table, instantly attracting people around to come over.
Opposite him sat another middle-aged man with an imposing manner.
"What a good thing! Pigeon eggs of this size and quality..."
"Sky blue is considered a rare color, so it's probably not cheap."
There was a growing buzz of discussion around, and everyone was obviously familiar with the two men on the sofa.
"Mr. Ke, such good things can only be taken out in front of you." Someone looked at the man opposite, but what he said was not flattering, because insiders knew Mr. Ke's status.
The man in a suit who just appeared with the "pigeon egg" is also quite famous, at least everyone in the jade industry knows him, and he is called Mr. Qin Erye.
Mr. Qin Er looked at Mr. Ke opposite him with a smile on his face and raised his hand to invite him: "Mr. Ke, please take a look!"
The crowd of onlookers gathered around the sofa. Chen Ci had sat down earlier and had an advantageous position. He could see closer and more clearly than others by just leaning forward from the side.
Mr. Ke put on gloves and first picked up a magnifying glass to look at it carefully.
This kind of water has no impurities and is a top-notch jade.
Mr. Ke's mouth curled up as he looked at it. "Second Master Qin, you have quite a few good items. I just saw two old pit glass-type imperial green blank plaques on the display case over there. They're as big as my palm. Are they yours too?"
"Hey." Mr. Qin smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just an ordinary item, how could it be as rare as the pigeon egg in front of Mr. Ke?"
Shen Ci observed the expressions of the two people from the side. She found it quite interesting. Watching this kind of thing up close was like watching a TV drama.
She herself was also curious about how much the top-notch products in the eyes of insiders could be sold for.
After a while, Mr. Ke put down the magnifying glass in his hand, obviously very satisfied with the pigeon egg in front of him. He looked at Mr. Qin and said directly: "This is not the first time we have exchanged currency. You name a price."
This sentence instantly shocked everyone watching.
"Mr. Ke, are you really going to buy this?"
Someone couldn't help but speak up. Mr. Ke looked at the person and smiled slightly: "Whether to buy or not is a later matter. It's not against the rules to ask the price."
The man smiled awkwardly and nodded.
"Mr. Ke is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush." Mr. Qin straightened his body and raised both hands, with five fingers of one hand spread wide and one finger raised on the other.
Shen Ci blinked beside him, one thousand five?
That’s unreasonable!
Fifteen thousand?
When this number popped up in his head, Shen Ci himself was shocked.
Because after conversion, this pigeon egg is worth 150 million?
People say jade costs a lot of money, but today she has really seen something new.
The others obviously understood the market situation, at least better than Chen Ci, so when they saw Mr. Qin Erye's gesture, they just showed some small movements and expressions such as raising their eyebrows and glaring.
Jade has no real price. Whether it is worth it or not depends entirely on how you define its value.
Moreover, if Mr. Qin was willing to sell such a top-notch item, he obviously had to make some profit, so the offer of 15,000 yuan must be profitable.
As expected, Mr. Ke immediately shook his head and laughed, "It's too high."
"I don't deny that the stuff is good, but I don't want it at this price."
Mr. Ke refused bluntly, but Mr. Qin Erye didn't feel unhappy at all. He was still cheerful: "Good things are about fate. It doesn't matter whether Mr. Ke wants it or not, because good things will always be loved by people. I will just take it out for everyone to see."
"Then we're really lucky."
"I've never seen such a big pigeon egg, and it's sky blue."
"What a treasure! I think it's worth the price."
"So you're buying it?"
"Just kidding, I can't afford it."
Everyone was talking and laughing, and Mr. Qin was also listening for fun. Just when he was about to have someone take the things away, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
He turned around and met Chen Ci's simple and serious eyes.
She imitated the way others addressed her and said, "Second Master Qin, can you let me see this pigeon egg?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qin's gaze slowly moved down from Shen Ci's beautiful face, and finally landed on the puppy in her arms.
Yoda lay obediently in Shen Ci's arms, his little head resting on her arm, his small black bean-like eyes also looking at him.
this……
Mr. Qin was a little confused, because the little girl in front of him seemed like someone who suddenly appeared here out of nowhere.
"Little girl, this treasure is not something you can just look at casually."
"Yes, you see, we can only watch from afar. If we accidentally hurt her body, we might even lose our entire fortune."
This remark caused everyone to burst into laughter, but he was not trying to scare the young people.
"I know, but I kind of like it, and I'm also a little curious." Chen Ci kept looking at Master Qin Er, and once again spoke very seriously: "Can I touch it with my bare hands and feel it?"
Mr. Qin Er is stupid!
Touch?
Still with bare hands?
Even Mr. Ke was wearing gloves when he touched it just now, and this little girl actually wanted to touch it with her bare hands?
And you want to feel it?
Coming back to his senses, Master Qin smiled and said, "Little girl, you can't just touch this thing casually."
Chen Ci said, "It's a shame to just display such a good thing, isn't it?"
Master Qin: "Good things are meant to be appreciated."
Chen Ci: "Touching is also a part of appreciation, and it allows for a more fully engaged appreciation."
Master Qin: "But if you accidentally hurt your body..."
Shen Ci: “Then I’ll buy it!”
Master Qin: "..."
Onlookers: “…”
Everyone was shocked by Shen Ci's words, but she said it so calmly, as if she had bought two pounds of pork at the vegetable market.
Chen Ci blinked at Mr. Qin Er and spoke again, "Or are you only selling this treasure to Mr. Ke?"
Mr. Ke smiled, and said to Mr. Qin, "Mr. Qin, it seems the girl is serious about this. You might as well let her touch it. Maybe she will really buy it if she likes it."
His tone was tinged with joking, and he obviously didn't believe that Shen Ci would really buy it, or could really afford it.
"Little girl, stop making trouble." Master Qin said good-naturedly, "Do you know how much this treasure costs?"
"I know, I was just watching from the side." Chen Ci blurted out: "Fifteen thousand, let me touch it, if I like it I won't bargain with you."
Shen Ci spoke in a serious tone, and every word was so serious that people couldn't feel that he was joking.
After saying the last sentence, Mr. Qin's face turned serious, and it was obvious that he had become shaken from his initial complete disbelief.
"Then put it on the tray for you to feel, but don't pick it up."
In the end, Master Qin finally relented, but he was obviously still afraid of something going wrong, so he reminded Shen Ci not to pick it up.
Shen Ci completely understood and immediately smiled: "Thank you."
