They worked for more than two days straight, and it wasn't until the other party arrived that they finished sorting out this batch of cultural relics.
Before they could even ask Lin Chuchu how many artifacts were in this batch, they brought in the last wave of artifacts.
This is the last wave, and the number is about the same as the previous two waves. Team Leader Qin told Evan to come back in two days.
The payment will be settled together at that time.
Evan seemed to trust them and didn't say anything else. He led his men to deal with the fake artifacts first, and then left.
Once the person left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade Lin, let's go upstairs and get some rest first. You've all worked so hard these past two days. We'll get back to work this afternoon."
Lin Chuchu nodded, and just as she was about to go upstairs, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't told them how many artifacts there were in the second wave.
"By the way, the second batch of cultural relics delivered totaled several thousand pieces, which is several thousand more than yesterday."
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then erupted in thunderous cheers.
There has never been a moment more joyful than now.
More than 70,000 pieces! And there's another wave coming, so it'll probably reach 100,000 pieces.
Don't assume that there are a lot of such cultural relics. In fact, there are some that are not very valuable and that others don't care about. But China cares about these things because they record a part of China's history.
That afternoon, after Lin Chuchu had a good sleep and a meal, she continued to sit there and work.
No one spoke, but they maintained an unprecedented level of enthusiasm. There were more fake artifacts in the third wave of cultural relics than in the previous two waves combined.
Lin Chuchu looked even more carefully.
This time it was much faster than before.
It took a day and a half to finish everything, producing a little over 30,000 pieces in total.
However, this satisfied them quite a bit. There were 100,000 items in total. If they had to find them themselves, it would have taken them forever.
They still need to compile a list and divide it into certain price ranges.
At the same time, Lin Chuchu will also take out several boxes and show some of the cultural relics to Ai Wen when he raises questions.
Some worthless items, with only a little collectible value, are grouped together, such as jade pendants and jewelry, without much distinction; they are simply classified as normal cultural relics.
There were also some porcelain pieces, but they didn't really understand the different categories of porcelain. They just picked out some small, worthless pieces and some more valuable ones, and put the rest together in a general way.
Of course, there are many other things. They don't really understand these prices. They just roughly figured out some prices based on previous transactions, and then pushed them down to give the other party room to bargain.
This is also within the limits of their current funds and jewelry.
With all the prices finalized, and everyone exhausted from several days of work, it was time to head back to our rooms and rest.
Time flew by, and Evan returned with his men.
Team Leader Qin explained the list they had compiled to the other party in detail, and the other party was well aware of it, so there were no major objections.
Aiven was the first to propose a price, and Qin hadn't expected that the price he offered would be lower than the price they had set.
However, it was impossible not to negotiate, so Team Qin lowered the price even further from what they had quoted.
"As you all know, not all of these cultural relics are valuable. Look at these, they only have a little collection value. If I were to take them out to sell, I wouldn't be able to."
Team Leader Qin pointed to several boxes and said, "The cultural relics aren't very attractive, and we can't display them outside, so they're really not very useful."
Evan looked over as well, and said with some guilt, "This is also our fault. How about I lower the price for you a little more?"
He was looking for a long-term partner, so he didn't care about the money at all. Besides, even so, he had already made quite a bit of money.
Team Leader Qin was naturally willing, so the two of them finalized the price, and then it was time to settle the payment.
The other party brought several people with them, just to count the money and estimate the price of the jewelry.
Watching the other party take all the money, Team Leader Qin looked pained, but in reality, he was overjoyed.
Using money obtained from their country to buy back Chinese cultural relics, this is a truly worthwhile deal.
Both parties were very satisfied with the collaboration. Evan smiled and said, "I've come here several times and the food smells delicious. Would I have the honor of staying for a meal?"
He has two hobbies: making money and loving food.
Several times he happened to arrive just after they finished eating, and the food smelled really good. He wanted to ask them to eat, but he was a little embarrassed.
He just closed a big deal today, will the other party kick him out?
Feeling a little uneasy and regretting bringing it up, Captain Qin only paused for a moment before smiling and agreeing.
"Okay, I'll treat you to hot pot tonight. Hot pot is the perfect treat on such a cold day."
Evan's eyes lit up. Hot pot? He'd never heard of it before, but it sounded delicious.
Evan decided not to leave and stayed to help. He first cleaned the room, then carried down tables and chairs from upstairs, and then washed vegetables and chopped meat.
He's an expert at cutting meat; he cuts it thinly and evenly.
His eyes shone as he looked at the unique ingredients in the hands of the others. Although he couldn't smell the aroma, he was still full of anticipation.
Two large tables were set up, with two pots in the middle. They didn't usually use these two pots because they preferred to use the pots they brought from home.
However, since there are outsiders here today, they can only use the pots here.
One table can eat spicy food, and the other table can't.
Team Leader Qin taught Ai Wen how to prepare the seasonings, and then he put all the meat and vegetables into the pot to cook together.
Soon, the aroma of meat filled the room. At first, Evan could still talk to others, but later his eyes lit up as he watched the meat bubbling in the pot.
It smells so good! Why does it smell so good after just a simple boil? Is it because of the seasonings?
He swallowed hard, and once the pot boiled, Captain Qin said, "It's ready to eat."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat from the pot with his chopsticks, mixed it with the seasoning in the bowl, and then ate it in one bite.
Ai Wen followed his example, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, and the moment he put it in his mouth, he was choked by the spicy flavor in the aroma and turned to the side, coughing violently.
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot to tell you, it's actually quite spicy."
Team Leader Qin's tone was apologetic, but his smiling eyes showed that he was in a good mood.
So foreigners can't eat spicy food.
"Cough cough... It's nothing, I just choked suddenly."
After saying that, he took a sip of the Coke on the table. Coke and hot pot taste really good.
