Chairman Di ignored Lang Jie, this little brat reeking of money.
Instead, he carefully took the ring from Ah Chen and examined it closely.
A few seconds later, Chairman Di looked on with increasing astonishment.
His every move naturally attracted the attention of the onlookers.
"Gu Yu, what happened?"
After Shi Xia arrived, looking at the scene of onlookers, she asked Gu Yu in a low voice.
As Gu Yu recounted the whole story to Shi Xia—
Bai Yan, who was standing next to Shi Xia, was looking at A Mo, who was standing next to A Chen.
Clearly, Bai Yan was very interested in Amo, who was backed by Mochen Capital.
As for Lang Jie, Chairman Di's seriousness made him feel that something was wrong. Then he noticed that the street vendor, who had originally intended to leave, was now staying. He—
He actually approached Chairman Di and said, "Elder Di, this is just an ornament, there's no need to look at it so closely."
"Ignorant child!"
Chairman Di glanced at Lang Jie from the side; those four words, coming from the old man's mouth, carried considerable weight.
Lang Jie is usually arrogant, but he wouldn't dare to talk back to someone like Chairman Di.
However, he came up to Ah Chen and said in a sarcastic tone, "Kid, even if you really got a bargain, it's not worth much. Compared to me, you're far inferior."
Ah Chen frowned, staring at the man surnamed Lang, and said, "Are you fucking sick, you piece of trash? I've only just met you and you're already targeting me at every turn. If you keep nagging me, I'll make sure you can't even speak."
"You? You think—pfft, oh—"
The arrogant Lang Jie hadn't even finished speaking when his mouth started to hurt again.
And this time it hurt even more than before.
In just two minutes, the scraggly man was in so much pain that his eyes were seeing stars, and he finally squatted down on the ground.
Seeing this, Amo had no intention of letting him off the hook. She quietly made a finger gesture, stared at Lang Jie for a few seconds, and then looked away.
"Young man--"
moment--
Chairman Di held the ring up to the blue sky and white clouds, looked at it from the inside, and said to Ah Chen:
"You really bought this for eight thousand yuan?"
"Yes! The stall owner is still here."
"Young man, you're lucky. This is a jade thumb ring from the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty. It was used by the imperial court and also served as a military mobilization token."
Authentic?
A jade thumb ring from the Kangxi era?
The onlookers began to whisper among themselves.
A middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, "Old Di, do you mean—could this be the legendary jade thumb ring used by Emperor Kangxi, the one that once mobilized the Northwest army?"
"That's right! Look, this is top-quality jadeite, with a vibrant green color and excellent transparency—"
"The craftsmanship is exquisite!"
"There are also special inscriptions on the inner wall of the thumb ring, indicating the significance of this thumb ring. It was indeed used during the Kangxi era to mobilize the Northwest army."
Chairman Di became increasingly excited as he spoke, and he even recounted the legend of the jade thumb ring.
This caused an uproar!
The original stall owner's expression also changed.
It became an indescribable pain, because if this were true, it wouldn't just be a matter of eight thousand yuan.
It will be at least several dozen times, or even more.
"Oops, I've made a mistake!"
The stall owner stomped his feet on the spot.
Discussions arose again--
Shi Xia and Gu Yu were stunned, and even Bai Yan and Liu Jing stared wide-eyed.
As for Lang Jie, whose mouth was in severe pain, his expression was even more exaggerated.
His pupils widened and his mouth opened.
Clearly, this bastard knows how terrifying the price difference between genuine and counterfeit products is.
A few minutes later--
After Chairman Di finished speaking, he glanced around at everyone and his gaze landed on Ah Chen:
"Young man, you've got some luck—"
"Master Di, how much is this jade thumb ring worth now?" This was the question asked by the middle-aged man earlier.
Chairman Di thought for a moment and said:
"These thumb rings were originally a pair! During the Kangxi era, one was in the hands of the general stationed in the Northwest, and the other was in the hands of the emperor."
"The mobilization of 200,000 troops in the Northwest can only be accomplished by having two thumb rings put together."
"Unfortunately, this is only one. The other one is said to be in the hands of a Chinese American."
"A single coin is worth at least six million."
"But if you put two together, it's a different story; the value will double."
…
Bang--
As soon as Chairman Di finished speaking, the original owner of the stall sat down on the ground and frantically pounded the ground.
Six million!
"He's been fooled! The man who plays with eagles every day has actually been fooled by the eagle himself!"
"Six million, God God! I sold it for eight thousand."
…
Hahaha--
When the original vendor was screaming his lungs out in a frenzy, a burst of laughter erupted around him.
As for Lang Jie, he was truly dumbfounded this time.
He was filled with deep regret!
If time could be turned back, he could easily come up with 80,000 yuan, let alone 8,000.
Then they made a net profit of over 5.9 million.
But--
There's no going back now!
Just when he was wishing he could take a pill to undo his mistake, Ah Chen came up to him and said:
"I heard your house was demolished for redevelopment. Did you get this ring as compensation?"
"you--"
"What? You got slapped in the face!"
Ah Chen squatted down and said, "Being slapped in the face hurts, but it probably doesn't hurt as much as your mouth! But--"
"It will hurt even more when you have nothing left! Stepping on you is a waste of my energy, but it's just for fun."
