"Sir, do you have anything good you want to sell?"

Lin Han nodded and took out the oilcloth bag.

In fact, it was the oilcloth bag dug out from under the big willow tree last night, but he had removed the top layers, leaving only the inner layer intact.

The old man's eyes lit up at the sight of the antique oilcloth bag.

He winked at the cleaning guy and he went to the back room.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a white Tang suit strode out with his head held high.

However, he didn't seem to come for Lin Han, but sat down next to him and began to admire the string of small-leaf red sandalwood in his hand.

Lin Han didn't look at him. He just concentrated on opening the oilcloth bag and placed it in front of the old man.

hiss……

"It's gold leaves and golden melon seeds." The old man said to himself.

"Yes, at least it is from the Kangxi period, and it is very likely to be earlier than that."

The old man looked at him doubtfully, then pointed at one of the gold leaves and asked Lin Han if he could pick it up and have a look.

Lin Han naturally agreed.

The old man picked up the slightly hollowed-out gold leaf and held it before his eyes.

Although the morning sunlight is not very dazzling, it is quite bright.

The light passed through the small holes and refracted slightly onto the old man's face.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sir, although this thing may be old, it is still gold after all."

"And the golden ratio wasn't very pure in the old days."

"I'm afraid you can't sell this thing for a high price?"

Lin Han glanced at him and said, "You are an antique shop. I definitely can't sell it to you at the price of gold. The gold leaves and gold melon seeds from the Qianlong period mainly focus on the carving. If you look at it a few more times, you can see the hollowing technique in the middle of the gold leaves and the slightly cracked shells of the gold melon seeds."

The old man looked at the gold leaves and golden melon seeds again.

"I wonder if I could cut a little of this stuff off to check it out. If it's really gold, I wouldn't mind giving you a little extra money."

Lin Han said succinctly: "Do we need to cut off a piece of each gold leaf and gold melon seed for inspection?"

"I'm afraid so."

Lin Han shook his head.

In an antique shop in a small place like this, no matter how big the storefront is, the person in charge may not have a good eye.

He wanted to sell these gold leaves and gold melon seeds today, as the owners of the antique shops might want to cut off a piece for inspection.

Doesn't this destroy the original flavor of the thing?

But he urgently needs money today.

While he was thinking, the middle-aged man in the white Tang suit who had just walked over suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "I wonder if I can take a look."

"Of course." Lin Han first handed the oilcloth bag in his hand to the old man, and then signaled the old man to pass it to the man in Tang suit.

His action immediately made the two people nod in approval.

There are not many young people who understand the rules of the trade nowadays.

In fact, the antique business emphasizes integrity.

The person Lin Han was doing business with at the beginning was this old man, so even if the man in the Tang suit later asked to see the goods, it was only after obtaining the old man's consent. Therefore, Lin Han handed the goods to the old man first, and only after the other party agreed could he give them to the next customer.

If there was a trade, Lin Han would only trade with the old man.

The man in Tang suit took the oilcloth bag from the old man.

After only two or three glances, he raised his head and asked Lin Han: "Young Master, how much are you prepared to pay?"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand."

Lin Han gave a relatively reasonable but low price.

He knew the price of these gold leaves and gold melon seeds very well.

It's just that I'm in a hurry to use the money today, so I kept the price so low.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man in Tang suit shook his head and said, "It's a bit high."

“I won’t sell it for less than 250,000 yuan.”

The man in the Tang suit thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll give you 200,000 yuan in cash and you can take it right away. You should know that other than this antique shop, other antique shops can't do anything. I'll give you 200,000 yuan in cash right away."

I don’t know how he knew that Lin Han was in urgent need of money today.

Lin Han thought about it and said, "Okay!"

Things went much more smoothly after that.

This antique shop is owned by the old man. The middle-aged man in Tang suit may have a deep connection with the old man.

So the final word can be given.

In the end, Lin Han received 200,000 yuan in cash.

After leaving the antique shop with the money, the old man hurriedly asked the middle-aged man in the Tang suit: "Teacher Wang, is this price too high? I think it's only about 60,000 or 70,000. After all, the purity of gold in ancient times was not high."

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man in Tang suit shook his head, holding the gold leaves in his hand, and looked left and right.

"You don't know, these gold leaves and gold melon seeds are indeed from the time of Emperor Kangxi. The craftsmanship is very important. I know a professor who has been looking for these gold leaves for a long time. If I sell them to him, I can definitely get 600,000 or 700,000 yuan."

What?

The old man regretted it so much after hearing what he said.

This teacher surnamed Wang is actually a professor who teaches in a university. Although the old man is older than him, he is a businessman after all, so he is usually respectfully addressed as Teacher Wang.

I didn't expect that I would miss such a big business opportunity because of my poor eyesight.

The old man wanted to slap himself a few times.

The professor surnamed Wang also saw his regret.

He reached out, pulled out his checkbook from his pocket, and wrote a check for $210,000.

The old man knew that he wanted to return the 200,000 yuan he had just paid in advance.

But when I took the check, I found it was only 210,000.

This is against the rules, after all, the young customer was the first to do the transaction.

This teacher named Wang was a latecomer, and according to the rules, Teacher Wang had to pay the old man a fee.

Moreover, Mr. Wang picked up such a big bargain. According to industry regulations, he should pay at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, this stingy guy named Wang only gave him 10,000 yuan.

It’s all my fault for not having learned the skills well enough. Why didn’t I realize that the gold leaves and gold melon seeds in the young customer’s hand were so valuable?

But this advantage was given to the teacher named Wang.

But I have to pretend nothing happened for the sake of face.

Just wait, when I get the chance I will definitely find a big bargain to show you.

The two of them settled the accounts openly and secretly, but Lin Han was not much better off.

When he returned to the clinic with 200,000 yuan in cash.

The middle-aged woman and middle-aged man who came the night before yesterday came to the clinic again.

But this time they brought a buyer.

I don’t know what these two middle-aged men are thinking. Their father just passed away, and they can’t wait to sell the clinic.

"Although my master doesn't have much money, he is considered a wealthy family here. The two of them wanted to divide the money, but they were both afraid that the other would take it all, so they wanted to sell it early to save trouble."

Xiaoru quietly explained to Lin Han.
