Chapter 860: Really having money but nowhere to spend it
Because of the old man's words, the middle-aged man hesitated, and everyone stepped back several steps, fearing that this thing was really an evil thing and would affect them.
Even though they don't believe in evil things, they will still avoid them now that they have been told.
The other middle-aged man was furious and shouted, "Old Xia, you are deliberately destroying my store, right? What right do you have to say that my bottle is an evil object?"
The middle-aged man who spoke was the owner of this antique shop. Naturally, he was angry because his business had been disrupted.
"Yes! If you say this vase is an evil object, you have to have a basis for it! You can't just say it randomly!"
"That's right. This will ruin their business and their reputation!"
"Is it because you are old and your mind is confused? You are talking nonsense here."
“······”
Everyone blamed Old Man Xia because they didn't believe in the existence of evil things at all, so they didn't believe what Old Man Xia said.
Old Man Xia was furious, but in order to prevent a tragedy from happening, he suppressed his anger and explained, "Because this blue and white porcelain vase is mine. Since I got this vase, my health has been getting worse day by day. I originally planned to smash it, but I didn't expect it to be stolen and come to you."
When everyone heard this, they looked at the antique shop owner questioningly, wondering if he had stolen the thing.
The antique shop owner was immediately furious: "Old Xia, what do you mean by that? Are you accusing me of stealing? I bought this from someone else, and if you say it's yours, does it mean it's yours? What evidence do you have to prove it's yours?"
This really ruined his reputation!
Despite this, the boss subconsciously believed what Old Man Xia said, because Old Man Xia also had a prominent background and was an expert in antique appraisal.
Therefore, the antique shop owner could not help but worry. Could this thing really be an evil thing? In the antique business, he had heard that some antiques would be contaminated with the deathly aura of the dead because they were around the dead for many years.
The human body has masculine energy, so once a person holds something with yin energy, he or she will be attacked by yin energy. The milder the attack, the more likely it is that the person will often have nightmares, become listless, and have a pale face. The more severe the attack, the more likely it is that the person will faint from weakness, or even be in danger of losing his or her life.
Obviously, Old Man Xia's expression was not right. Could it be that, as he said, this thing was not clean? If so... The antique shop owner couldn't help but shudder. He didn't dare to think about it, and hoped that it was not the case. Because he couldn't accept it, he was unwilling to admit that there was something wrong with this blue and white porcelain vase.
"I don't have any evidence, but this thing is definitely not clean. It must be smashed, it must be smashed..." As he said that, Old Man Xia immediately rushed to the counter, wanting to take the porcelain bottle and smash it.
However, as soon as he made a move, he was stopped by the antique shop owner.
Even if what Old Man Xia said was true, the boss would naturally be reluctant to smash his good thing worth millions of dollars: "Old Man Xia, if you really want to smash this thing, then you can buy it back and smash it however you want, but this is my thing, you have no right to smash it."
He doesn't care about the antique, he cares about the money it brings him. No matter who buys it, as long as they spend money to buy it, it's none of his business whatsoever.
"I have no money..." Old man Xia said dejectedly. If he had money, he would have bought this thing and smashed it. Why would he stay here and stop others from buying it?
"If you don't have money, then we'll have a face-to-face talk. You better leave now, or I'll call the police." The antique shop owner threatened, not wanting to let this old man Xia ruin his business.
"I buy"
At this time, Gu Ning came out.
This thing is indeed an evil object and cannot be placed here. However, this thing is also genuine. She only needs to put it in the space for purification for a day or two.
Of course, Gu Ning couldn't offer the market price, just a little more than his purchase price would be fine.
Once the word spreads that this thing is an evil object, it will be difficult to sell it even if no one believes it.
As soon as they heard someone was buying it, everyone looked at Gu Ning. Seeing that it was a pretty girl, they were all amazed. However, everyone shook their heads and looked down on Gu Ning. Whose child is this? She really has so much money that she actually spent it on an antique.
Old Man Xia didn't think too much about it. If someone was willing to buy this thing and smash it, that would be a good thing. Since the other party actually said he wanted to buy it, he must not be short of that little money.
"Do you want to buy it?" the antique shop owner asked uncertainly, because judging from the man's age, he didn't look like someone with that much money.
"Not bad, how much?" Gu Ning asked.
"Eight million," said the antique shop owner.
"Eight million?" Gu Ning heard this and chuckled with a hint of sarcasm: "Do you think your vase is still worth eight million now?"
Hearing this, the antique shop owner's face darkened, and he naturally knew what Gu Ning meant.
After being disturbed by Old Man Xia, whether this blue and white porcelain vase was an evil object or not was affected. Not to mention that it could not be sold at a high price, if the girl was unwilling to buy it, it would be another question whether it could be sold in the future.
"Then five million..." The boss hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and suddenly reduced three million.
However, it was still too expensive for Gu Ning: "I can only offer one million. When you take it back, it should only be worth a few hundred thousand! This way, you will also make a profit."
"You..." The boss didn't expect Gu Ning to bid so low, one million. You know, this blue and white porcelain vase is worth nearly tens of millions! But she only gave him one million. How could this be possible?
However, when he heard Gu Ning's next words, the antique shop owner felt uncomfortable for a moment, because he had spent hundreds of thousands to buy it, three hundred thousand.
That's because the other party was not knowledgeable. Although he knew that the vase was authentic, he didn't know its actual price and thought it was worth millions.
Generally speaking, antiques brought to antique shops will be sold at half or two-thirds lower than their original price.
At first Gu Ning was just guessing, but after seeing the reaction of the antique shop owner, he was sure that his guess was correct.
"What do you think? Do you want to sell it or not? If you don't sell it, once the word spreads that your vase is an evil object, it will be difficult to sell it no matter whether it is true or false. Not only that, the reputation of your store will also be damaged, and your future business will probably be affected." Gu Ning said.
"You..." The boss was so angry that his breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't breathe out. He felt like he was suffocating.
