Chapter 540: Treasure City



And Lin Han didn't just feel uneasy because he was being monitored in this place.

It was because he had received message from the manager on his way back.

The manager reported the matter. He was unable to handle it, but his superiors ordered him to go to Baocheng City and discuss with the people who could make decisions how to handle the matter so that both parties would be satisfied.

So Lin Han left Xidu Province that day and headed for Baocheng City.

That place is also where many treasure appraisers and countless gold diggers want to go.

It is no exaggeration to say that Baocheng City is a jewelry city, as it is home to a large number of cultural relics, antiques and other treasures.

However, there are more fake things, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake when they are mixed together. If you are lucky enough to find the genuine ones, it is not impossible to sell them for hundreds of thousands or even millions, so it has become the place that gold diggers most want to go.

But unfortunately, even if the things in that place are fake, you have to spend a lot of money if you want to buy them. The threshold is so high that it keeps many would-be gold diggers away.

However, if you can't buy it, it's OK to take a look. Many aspiring treasure appraisers who want to improve their abilities will go there to check their abilities.

However, many of them will return empty-handed and lose money.

To put it simply, the places Lin Han usually goes to are low-price venues with low investment, so the returns won’t be that high, and he won’t feel too bad if he loses money.

Baocheng City is a high-priced market with high investment, high returns, and high losses.

Normally, Lin Han would definitely not go to that kind of place. First, he has the Eye of True Vision and does not need to train there. Second, he has no money and cannot afford to buy things there.

The little money he had was not enough to survive in a place like that.

Having said that, it is hard to say whether those who have struck gold are agents or not. There are really very few of them. Only one out of a hundred is considered amazing.

Isn't there a saying that nine out of ten times you lose when you gamble? This is even harder than gambling, and the odds are about the same as winning millions in the lottery.

But going there today is not only convenient for him, but also a chance to broaden his horizons. If the landlord is willing to pay him some money to buy one, it would be a huge profit.

Just as he walked into the high-speed rail station, the person who had been following him and staring at him also followed him in.

After half a day, Lin Han arrived at the high-speed rail station of Baocheng City. After leaving the high-speed rail station, he immediately stopped a car and headed to Baocheng City.

And that person followed behind him, trailing all the way.

When you enter the city of Baocheng, apart from hotels, restaurants, grocery stores and other shops necessary for daily necessities, there are basically jewelry stores, antique shops and the like.

There are many people setting up stalls in the alleys, and shops that are rare in other places are everywhere here.

"Brother, come and have a look. These are all new goods. I'll tell you in secret that all my jades are sold out today. This is the last one. I'm selling it to you at a loss today. How about that?"

"Don't listen to him. This antique clock of mine is an heirloom from my ancestors. It has a history of hundreds of years. It is definitely a good thing."

As soon as Lin Han got off the car and reached the entrance of the alley, the people setting up stalls inside couldn't wait to run out, pulled Lin Han in and away, bragging about their stuff as they pulled him.

Lin Han just took a look at the suitcase on the carpet and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

They said that, but there must be identical items in those suitcases. As soon as they get rid of the ones they have, they will take out another one and sell it.

He knew the nature of these people very well.

And he is not stupid. He knows at first glance that those things are fake. Why should he spend money on them?

He shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, I'm a little tight on money lately and can't afford your stuff."

When they heard this, they both sighed and went back to their stalls.

Before they even named an offer, Lin Han said he couldn't afford it. Anyone with common sense would know that was a polite refusal. There was no point in continuing to pester him, so it would be better to find another scapegoat.

However, Lin Han walked straight to a stall selling a bunch of gold and silver bracelets.

These stalls selling gold and silver bracelets can be found in many places. They are tangled together in several circles, like a pile of tangled ropes. If you don’t have good eyesight, you won’t be able to tell which bracelet you wanted in a blink of an eye.

However, those bracelets are basically fake. It is impossible for real gold and silver to be sold in such street stalls. They are basically silver-plated, or even just paint of similar color.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, they buy in large quantities, so there might be some genuine items mixed in.

And the one Lin Han was eyeing was the real thing!

"I want this thing. How much is it?" Lin Han picked up a bracelet and asked the middle-aged stall owner who was lying lazily on the ground.

When others saw Lin Han doing this, they couldn't help but sneer, but they didn't show it for the time being.

It’s not because they think there is anything wrong with what Lin Han did. Buying things is a common thing here, and there are many people who are as direct as him.

But that means being ripped off. If you stare at something, who wouldn't know that you want that?

So if the stall owner offers a high price at this time, will you buy it or not?

The locals are okay, most of them know the prices, and as long as they don’t ask for too much, they will accept it. But Lin Han is obviously an outsider, and if he doesn’t know the upper limit of the price, he will definitely be slaughtered.

They are all in the same business, and even if they know about it they won't tell anyone, for fear that they will lose their business in the future.

"Hmm..." The dozing stall owner slightly opened his eyes, slowly raised his right hand which was on his body, and stretched out three fingers.

"Three hundred dollars? Sure!"

Lin Han happily took out his wallet and prepared to pay, but the stall owner was so angry that his beard was crooked, and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Thirty thousand!"

"Thirty thousand? So expensive?"

Hearing this amount, Lin Han was shocked and his movements to take the money slowed down.

"All the items here are genuine. What do you think? And you have a good eye. You just picked my heirloom. I won't sell it for less than 30,000 yuan."

Heirlooms? How could someone mix heirlooms with these cheap items? Everyone knew it was impossible.

But the problem is that the stall owner has already set his eyes on Lin Han, and he will not let go unless Lin Han pays 30,000.

If Lin Han doesn't want it, you can consider bargaining, but not too much. If you bargain too much, it will seem too fake.

"Thirty thousand? It's too expensive. I can't afford it." Lin Han looked at the bracelet reluctantly, put it back with a wry smile, but picked it up again immediately and played with it lovingly.

"Then you can buy other things. They are all real anyway, and the others are cheaper. Two thousand yuan will be enough." The stall owner looked as if he had Lin Han in his grasp and said nonchalantly.

He knew that Lin Han would not choose any other option. After all, Lin Han's inner thoughts were written on his face.
