Faced with the teasing from her two best friends, Shi Xia and Gu Yu--
Amo smiled faintly, then asked Achen beside her:
"Young prince, how did you find out?"
Ah Chen said, "I was about to call you, but when I got here I saw this thing."
"Well... the price has already been driven down to 6.6 million. Should we make a move?"
"How do you like it?"
"Why would a woman like me wear a thumb ring?" Amo shook her head.
"If you like it, keep it; if you don't, sell it. I don't really like this thing either, and it's not the kind I want."
"Young prince, this is a ring worth millions, don't you like it?"
"The pinnacle of thumb rings isn't this one, it's something else. If you encounter that one, you can't make a move."
"What thumb ring?"
"The thumb ring of the Qing Dynasty's number one eunuch, that one is valued at over 200 million."
Valuation exceeding 200 million?
laugh--
Amo gasped!
It was at this time--
"Seven million five hundred thousand!"
"I'll offer 7.05 million. If you two bid again, I'll have to back out."
When Mr. Luo, who had initially made a bid with the determination to win, shouted out his price, his voice was noticeably several decibels louder than before.
The two competitors who were competing with him had to give up because the price was far beyond their budget.
"Mr. Luo, please!"
final--
Seven million five hundred thousand!
"Young man, seven million and five hundred thousand, I hope you can part with this jade thumb ring." The polite Mr. Luo moved to stand in front of Achen.
He took out his business card and gave it to Ah Chen, as if he wanted to get to know him.
After all, in his opinion, the kid in front of him didn't look like a rich person. As long as he was polite, the kid would probably contact him next time he found a treasure.
At that moment, amidst the onlookers' discussions, all eyes were focused on Achen.
Chairman Di said, "Young man, if you're willing to make a move, seven million is indeed a high price!"
"Of course, if you don't want to sell, the price will naturally be different in ten or eight years."
"Young man, it's time to make your move."
"Yes, you bought it for eight thousand yuan, and now it's worth hundreds of times that amount."
"That's right, take the money, hurry up and buy a house near the Fourth Ring Road, find a wife, have a baby, and your life will be perfect."
…
The onlookers were giving Ah Chen advice.
*Pfft*
Shi Xia and Gu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
After accepting the business card from Mr. Luo, Ah Chen agreed to make the purchase because he didn't like the thumb ring.
When I was about to transfer the money--
The original stall owner, looking utterly dejected, stumbled and staggered towards Ah Chen.
"Young man, do you have eyes of fire? You've managed to find a bargain right here with me."
"Boss, you were even more anxious than I was just now, afraid I'd change my mind!"
Seeing Ah Chen's smiling face, and recalling how he had just personally handed the ring to him, the boss—
"I'm a smart aleck, I'm blinded by greed, okay? Just shut up!"
*Smack!*
He slapped himself across the face!
Hahaha--
The onlookers burst into laughter.
The stall owner asked, "Young man, tell me honestly, was that bottle you asked for earlier also a treasure?"
Why do you ask that?
"Young man, don't try to fool me. I saw it with my own eyes. You had your men carefully take the bottle home, but you were playing with this ring in your hand."
The stall owner took a breath and continued, "This jade thumb ring is worth seven million five hundred thousand now, so I think that bottle must be something special."
Of course it's not simple!
"Boss, what does the bottle you're talking about look like?" Mr. Luo asked.
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "The bottle has an everted mouth, a short and thick neck, elephant ears sculpted on both sides of the neck, drooping shoulders, a bulging belly, and a ring foot."
"This shape...it looks a bit like a famille rose openwork revolving vase from the Qianlong period!"
"That's right, the description given by the shop owner is exactly what a 'Qianlong famille rose openwork revolving vase' looks like."
Just as Chairman Di was about to leave, he stopped and said the same thing.
Then--
People started talking about it.
“My goodness, if it really is a ‘Qianlong famille rose openwork revolving vase’, it’s not just a matter of a few million.”
"Where's the bottle? We'll have to see the actual product!"
"That's right! Isn't Chairman Di here? He's the one who authenticated it to know if it's real or fake, otherwise there would be too many counterfeits."
…
The original stall owner looked at Ah Chen, hoping he would tell the truth.
Mr. Luo also turned his gaze to Ah Chen.
Even Chairman Di said with great interest, "Young man, could it be that you—"
Ah Chen said, "That's right! I do suspect that the bottle is a 'Qianlong famille rose openwork revolving vase,' but I don't know if it's a fake."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Chen glanced at Lang Jie, whose face had turned pale. He noticed that pustules had appeared on Lang Jie's lips and that they were about to ulcerate. Then he went with Mr. Luo to transfer the money.
Even after Ah Chen and the others left, the chatter continued.
Mr. Luo had acquaintances here, so he transferred the money using the equipment in an antique shop.
"I'm so envious! Seven million and fifty thousand in just a short time!"
After leaving the store, Gu Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Shi Xia said directly to A Chen, "Brother Mu, you're treating us tonight. We need to share in your good fortune."
"It would be my great honor!"
Ah Chen nodded.
Amo said, "Xiaxia Guyu, graduation is just around the corner, and you won't be at school anymore. Come to our place tonight. It's been so long since we last saw each other. Who knows how long it will be before we get together again after this breakup?"
