Seeing this, President Qin chuckled and helped the shop owner up, then asked Niu Kongkong, "Old Niu, how much is this authentic work worth?"
Looking at the composed Mu Chen, Old Niu said, "Young friend, you are extraordinary. If you were lucky with the last treasure, then this one is enough to prove your discerning eye."
"Old Master Niu, you flatter me. I was just lucky." Mu Chen wouldn't admit it, after all, fame brings trouble.
"In that case, I will not ask any further! However, if you are willing to cede some, I will offer one hundred million."
"This item would only be wasted if it fell into my hands! Since Elder Niu has taken a liking to it, it is my good fortune!"
Mu Chen was only there for the money.
He knew perfectly well that the painting would be worth five or six hundred million in fifteen years, but for him now, one hundred million was far more meaningful than five or six hundred million ten years from now.
Therefore, I agreed to make the move.
A moment later, when another hundred million appeared in his account, the boss was truly going crazy.
President Qin seemed interested in befriending Mu Chen, and he presented him with his business card and invited him to a casual meal.
"Young friend, could you do me the honor of having a meal with me?"
Niu Kongkong also wanted to befriend Mu Chen.
Mu Chen stood up and said, "I couldn't be happier, it's my honor! Let me host this, and I'll also take this opportunity to tell Elder Niu something."
"good."
The shop owner watched the group leave, his teeth clenched in hatred.
Three hundred and thirty million plus one hundred million.
Four hundred and thirty million.
This small batch of dolls costs 400,000, and in no time, it can be worth a thousand times more.
Where did this wicked little brat come from?
That's an incredibly sharp eye.
Soon, led by President Qin, who is also the boss of the real estate company, Mu Chen brought A Rui to a nearby private restaurant.
This old restaurant is not only a place for delicious food, but also a platform for cultural and emotional exchange.
In the retro-decorated room, every table and chair seems to carry the charm and stories of old Shanghai.
The dishes served are also authentic local specialties.
Niu Kongkong had been observing Mu Chen and found that this young man was extraordinary in both his speech and knowledge.
That kind of mentality is not something a young man can have.
This young man's demeanor is particularly remarkable.
"Young friend Mu, this restaurant is a long-established brand. It was opened by one of my students. Especially their Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, the taste is absolutely amazing. You should try it."
"Please come, Mr. Niu."
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a top-notch delicacy!
Mu Chen had heard of it, but he didn't have the resources to try it.
He took a small bite and sighed, "Truly a delicacy, the flavor is as rich as a treasure box full of surprises."
Niu Kongkong nodded secretly; he was a good young man.
Qin Feng, standing nearby, said, "There's more surprise! This private restaurant recently acquired two kinds of fruit from somewhere, called 'Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit' and 'Starry Candy.' They're truly amazing and will be here soon."
"Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Candy?" Mu Chen was surprised, and even A Rui, who was standing next to him feeling awkward, blinked her beautiful eyes in astonishment.
"What? Young Brother Mu, have you heard of these two rare and precious fruits?"
Mu Chen nodded with a smile.
Niu Kongkong sighed, "I have lived for sixty years and have never tasted a fruit more beautiful than the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and the Star Sugar. They are not only rare in the world, but it is no exaggeration to say that they are the pinnacle of all fruits in the world. The names are also very good."
"Old Niu, I heard that the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Candy have swept through the top circles of Yanjing, and even the Tsinghua campus is filled with their fragrance. Is that true?" Qin Feng asked.
“It’s true! When I came from Yanjing last night, I heard from a friend that it came from a female student’s dormitory at Tsinghua University. This matter has already alarmed experts in the field of botany.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Chen still smiled. He truly hadn't expected that the fruit he sent to the Holy Maiden would cause such a commotion.
Qin Feng praised them, adding, "My grandfather is now searching everywhere for the origin of these two immortal fruits."
"President Qin, you want to buy it?" Mu Chen finally interjected.
"Want it? I dream about it, but unfortunately the restaurant owner won't say where these two kinds of magical fruits come from."
"Judging from what Mr. Niu and President Qin said, could it be that these two kinds of fruits are very expensive in the market in Shanghai?"
"It's not expensive! But because of the unparalleled taste and appearance of the fairy fruit, the fruit, which originally cost forty-nine or forty-six, was sold for seventy or eighty-one by scalpers in just one day, and it's still hard to find one now."
Is it hard to find one?
Mu Chen truly hadn't expected that the pursuit of the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Candy in Shanghai would be so fervent.
They were actually being resold by scalpers for seventy or eighty yuan each?
It truly lives up to its reputation as a first-tier city!
At this moment, a poised and elegant waiter brought in twelve fruits.
Qin Feng and Niu Kongkong immediately introduced the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Candy to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I've had it before, and it tastes even better than this."
"What? There's a better fairy fruit than this? How is that possible—"
Niu Kongkong shook his head, and Qin Feng's faint smile also indicated disbelief.
But Mu Chen said, "The Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Candy on the market are all ordinary, and they don't weigh more than a pound. The one I ate is the best of the best, and it's also bigger than the ones on the market."
"Furthermore, there are currently 500,000 Seven-Colored Sacred Fruits and Star Candies available on the market."
Everyone here is intelligent. Although Mu Chen is young, Qin Feng could easily understand the implied meaning.
Immediately, Qin Feng glanced at Niu Kongkong and asked Mu Chen, "Does little brother perhaps know the origin of the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Sugar?"
"Know!"
"real?"
"Mr. Niu, Mr. Qin, give me an address and I'll have someone send you a few boxes, twelve per box."
Now, both Niu Kongkong and Qin Feng sensed that something was wrong.
Niu Kongkong looked at Mu Chen and asked, "Young friend, these two kinds of immortal fruits are extremely rare these days. I've heard that some unscrupulous merchants are trying to counterfeit them. You—"
Thump thump thump---
Before Niu Kongkong could finish speaking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Then, a middle-aged man dressed as a successful businessman walked in.
"Teacher, I am so sorry that I did not come to the door to greet you personally. Please forgive me."
Qin Feng stood up and politely extended his hand, "Mr. He, we meet again."
"President Qin, you're here too."
Mr. He shifted his gaze from Qin Feng, and when he saw that the person smiling at him was Mu Chen, he was first stunned, then exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Miao? It's you---"
“Mr. He, this is truly a reunion. I never expected to see you in Shanghai.” Mu Chen struggled to his feet.
He Yuanshan strode forward and, amidst the astonishment of Niu Kongkong and Qin Feng, grasped Mu Chen's hand.
"I never expected to see the young prince in Shanghai. You...are you injured?"
"It's just a fall, nothing serious."
"Please have a seat."
Qin Feng was filled with doubt at this scene.
Niu Kongkong asked curiously, "Yuanshan, do you know this young friend?"
