Everyone's reaction was completely within Sima Nan's expectations.

Seeing them like this, Sima Nan smiled with satisfaction.

But before he could say anything, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Everyone in the room was stunned to see the auction manager walking in with an old man in his sixties or seventies.

The old man has white hair and beard, looks energetic, and wears a white shirt and black trousers.

He looks quite well dressed.

Chen Qingzhi and Sima Nan exclaimed in surprise after just one look.

"Mr. Cao! Speak of the devil and he will appear. What wind brings you here? You are such a great honor to my humble home."

The voices of Chen Qingzhi and Sima Nan rang out at the same time, and the two of them left the people beside them and rushed towards the old man.

Mr. Cao waved to his assistants outside the door, telling them not to follow in.

Sima Nan was very familiar with his habit of not wanting his assistants to follow him.

He said very attentively to the person outside the door that he would take care of Mr. Cao.

The assistants outside the door looked at Mr. Cao nervously, then retreated.

Mr. Cao only nodded slightly to Sima Nan, then turned to Chen Qingzhi and asked, "I heard that you sold a lot of treasures today. I came to take a look and communicate with the manufacturers. I really couldn't leave because of the meeting overseas, otherwise I would definitely be the first to make a move."

I guess this old man had greeted Chen Qianzhi before and said he wanted to come and auction and buy collections.

Hearing him say this, Chen Qingzhi hurriedly explained: "A sword worthy of a hero, no matter how good the collection is, Master Cao, you deserve it."

Old Master Cao nodded without comment, and then his eyes were immediately attracted to the folding cup that Lin Han had not yet taken back.

He stared at the thing on Lin Han's hand for a long while before saying, "If I, Cao, am not mistaken, this folding cup is from the Yongzheng period."

His eyes were shining like a drunkard who was quitting drinking and suddenly got excited when he saw liquor.

But I have to say that he has a good eye.

Before Lin Han could say anything, Sima Nan ran over as if to take credit.

"Master Cao, it's my fault for being blind. This treasure was actually used by Emperor Yongzheng himself. At first I thought it was used by the Empress and Imperial Concubines in the harem."

"Yeah?"

Mr. Cao's eyes lit up, he stretched out a skinny hand, looked up and asked Lin Han: "My little brother, I wonder if you can lend me your collection to take a look."

Lin Han curled his lips helplessly, and even Master Bao behind him couldn't help but snort, then sat back on the sofa.

Look, how can good things not be seen by others?

Lin Han put the folding cup on the cabinet, and then Mr. Cao took it.

Compared to the excitement of ordinary people after seeing the treasure, Mr. Cao seems to be even more excited.

As he played with it, he said, "To be honest, my Cao family has some connection with this folding leaf cup, but we have been looking for it for more than ten years and have never found it. At the beginning, I always heard that this treasure was used by Concubine Xi, and I always doubted it. It turns out that it really belonged to Emperor Yongzheng."

He was filled with emotion.

Sima Nan fanned the flames: "Actually, these things were originally in my house, but I just took them out recently to warm up the auction for Boss Chen... It's also my fault that I was blind. This young man spent 1.6 or 7 million to buy them. Now I want to buy them back for 5 million, but he doesn't agree."

oh?

Old Master Cao looked up at Lin Han.

I am very anxious.

A man like him who has achieved success and fame and has almost lost all desire for power and beauty, the only thing he can't let go of is his favorite collections.

In fact, there is no connection between their Cao family and this folding-leaf cup. It's just that he feels itchy in his heart. When he sees something good, it's like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, and he must take it for himself.

He didn't care whether the things he picked up belonged to Sima Nan or who they belonged to now. As long as Sima Nan told him the price of the collection, he would be able to get it.

Mr. Cao reluctantly put the folding cup on the cabinet.

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Han for a few times, as if he was measuring the worth of this young man.

"Little brother, I want to buy this thing in your hand. I wonder how much you are willing to pay for it."

Although the words were spoken very politely, Lin Han could see the arrogance of this person, and his snobbery was almost exactly the same as Sima Nan's.

"1,2 million."

What?

Lin Han’s offer made Sima Nan furious, and even the big shots and bosses nearby who were used to big scenes were all stunned.

This young man didn't make one or two million in half an hour, he made more than 10 million in half an hour.

How can you sell something at 10 times the price?

Moreover, Sima Nan has just made it clear that he offered 5 million. Even if Lin Han asks for more now, it should be around 6 or 7 million.

How dare he be so bold as to ask for 1 or 2 million directly?

Sima Nan was furious, pointing at Lin Han's nose and saying, "You got my bargain in the first place, and spent over 1 million on it. Now you want to sell it for 1 or 2 million. Are you crazy because of poverty?"

Lin Han was not angry at all, he just shook his head slightly and asked him: "You think I'm asking for a higher price, but if I sell this thing to you for 5 million, how much are you going to sell it for?"

hiss……

We have to admit that the antique business is not very particular about anything. The value of the money depends entirely on the collector and his or her preference for the collection.

If Mr. Cao is willing to pay 12 million to buy this thing, then in his heart it is definitely worth it.

Then it is completely reasonable for Lin Han to earn this money.

"Little brother, I understand your intentions, but can we discuss the 12 million again?"

It seems that Mr. Cao really likes this thing, and Lin Han is sure of this, so he dares to offer such a high price.

"If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, get out!"

Master Bao, who was waiting behind, was already unhappy and stood up and said stiffly.

Now not only Sima Nan, but even Mr. Cao was embarrassed.

Originally, Sima Nan wanted to use the Cao family to suppress Lin Han and Master Bao.

Now that Old Master Cao is right in front of him, how can he allow Master Bao to act so presumptuous again?

"Master Cao, this kid behind you is so arrogant. I just mentioned the name of the Cao family, but he just ignored it. I don't know where this wild kid came from."

Although Sima Nan was gossiping, Mr. Cao was also somewhat embarrassed by Master Bao's trick just now.

"Who told you I won't buy it? It's only 1 or 2 million, right?"

As for Mr. Cao, he leisurely took out a check from his pocket, wrote his name on it, and then handed it to Lin Han between his two fingers.

The multiple zeros lined up on the check were so dazzling that it blinded the eyes of people around me.
