Wu An found an antique shop with people browsing inside and pulled Gu Anran to go in.
Gu Anran grabbed him: "Anran, what are we doing here?"
"What do you want to buy? Tell me first."
Last time, Wu An took her to buy a lot of gold jewelry without saying a word. Although she was very surprised when she bought the gold jewelry, she eventually put all of it to good use.
But she didn't want to go through that again.
Thinking about it this way might seem like she was being hypocritical, but she was still quite shaken.
Wu An spent too much money on her.
Wu An patted her hand and laughed, "We're not buying anything this time."
"I'm here to sell things."
As Wu An spoke, he took out the smallest piece of ambergris from his bag and continued, "I plan to sell this, and then we'll go look at cars."
"We'll buy a car that costs the same amount as how much this is sold for today."
"What is this?" Gu Anran asked curiously.
Wu An said, "You'll find out soon enough."
"Oh." Although Gu Anran was very curious, she didn't press the matter. She was just that understanding and didn't put too much pressure on people.
She looked away from the strange stone in Wu An's palm and said, "You said you wanted to go see a car, what kind of car?"
Wu An said, "I can't possibly take you to see electric cars, of course I'll take you to see sedans."
Gu Anran glared: "We just came from driving school!"
Wu An nodded: "You're right."
"I miscalculated."
"I should have bought the car sooner."
“That’s right…wait?” Gu Anran opened her mouth slightly and said, “That’s not what I meant!”
Wu An laughed heartily: "I'm just teasing you."
"I went to look at cars today and made a decision, but I might not be able to pick them up on the spot."
"Let's not chat in front of their door."
"It would be good to go inside and enjoy the air conditioning."
Gu Anran followed him inside.
The shop wasn't big, and the middle-aged man who looked like the owner was serving a middle-aged couple.
I saw a middle-aged couple dressed in gold and silver, looking at jade.
Without saying hello, Wu An took a walk around by himself first.
I didn't see any ambergris.
That's normal.
He searched on Baidu and found that ambergris is very precious and not commonly found in antique shops.
If you want to buy it, you can go to the auction house, but even then, it depends on luck.
Wu An contacted an auction house online, but they asked him to pay a deposit first.
He decisively ran away.
no way.
He had never been involved in this field in either of his two lifetimes. He asked Gao Qiangqi, but the latter was too busy to accompany him.
He was too embarrassed to trouble others.
I might as well try it out myself first.
After waiting for a few minutes, the middle-aged couple put down their things and left.
The shopkeeper saw him to the door, turned around and looked at Wu An, greeting him, "Handsome, what do you want to buy?"
Wu An said, "I'm just looking around."
"Besides selling goods, does the boss also accept commissions?"
The boss sat down in the display case, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Save it."
Wu An took out the ambergris incense, spread his hand to show it, and said, "Would you like this?"
The boss, who wore glasses, couldn't help but push up his frames and stare intently.
Gu Anran was also watching.
She was a little nervous.
She looked at it from left to right, and it looked like an ordinary stone with an irregular shape.
But Wu An said that he could buy a car by selling this.
She was afraid that Wu An had mistaken something for something good, and that he would be disappointed and might even be kicked out by the boss.
The shopkeeper recognized it at a glance; the handsome young man was holding a piece of ambergris in his hand.
Selling ambergris in an antique shop?
It doesn't look like something collected by a family member.
That's something I obtained by chance.
Holy crap!
What great luck!
The boss looked at the ambergris, but his mind was already racing.
He smiled.
"Young man, you're in luck! This is a piece of ambergris." The shopkeeper, who had been sitting, stood up and came over to take a look, bringing over a tray covered with a cloth.
Wu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite his calm demeanor and lack of surprise when the shopkeeper said it was ambergris, he had actually been harboring doubts beforehand.
Although everyone says it's ambergris, even the old man has only ever seen someone obtain it.
Nobody is an expert.
The first thing he came here to confirm was whether this was ambergris.
Now, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
The rest is simple; just sell it.
In short, when you're out in the world, acting skills are everything.
He placed the ambergris on the cloth and asked, "Boss, how's the quality?"
Gu Anran looked surprised.
Ambergris?
Is this the legendary ambergris?
Anyone who grew up in a fishing village knows about ambergris.
The elders in the village always talk about who was lucky enough to get ambergris and how much money they made from it.
In her mind, finding ambergris and winning the lottery are the same thing.
No wonder Wu An said that he could buy a car if he sold this piece of ambergris.
Maybe I can actually buy a car, and even a pretty good one!
The shopkeeper took a magnifying glass, looked at it, shook his head, and said, "Brother, I'm an honest man. Good ambergris is white, but this piece is gray, and it's small too."
"To be frank, the quality isn't great."
After speaking, he shook his head with a regretful expression.
Wu An frowned: "Name your price."
The shopkeeper picked up the ambergris, looked at it from left to right, shook his head, frowned, and sighed, showing his struggle. After a while, he said, "To be honest, I usually don't accept this. It's easy to get stuck with it."
"However, the fact that you were able to find it means you must live by the sea."
"It must be quite a journey to come to the county seat."
"Okay, I'll take the thousand yuan."
"This much money is enough to buy your girlfriend a new outfit."
Gu Anran looked at herself.
No wonder the boss said that.
Her clothes were indeed somewhat worn out; her floral dress had faded in some places from washing.
So the boss probably misunderstood and thought she had never seen much money before.
It also caused Wu An to be looked down upon.
Gu Anran picked up the ambergris incense and put it away, saying, "Anran, I'm angry."
“He treated us like beggars.”
Wu An smiled and said, "Then let's go."
The boss panicked and quickly shouted, "Hey, hey, the price isn't right, we can talk about it!"
Gu Anran wouldn't tolerate it and retorted, "There's no point in talking to someone like you."
Since we won't be dealing with each other again, I won't hold back when I speak.
After saying that.
He pulled Wu An and walked outside.
Gu Anran pushed open the door.
Wu An was quite polite, smiling and waving to the boss: "Boss, you know what's going on? You've made my wife angry, and now we can't do business together."
"If you had just given me ten thousand yuan, this deal might have gone through."
"Hey, hey, don't see me off, stay a while."
He's not exactly polite.
These words are truly devastating.
The glass door closed.
The boss's face was red and ugly, and his thighs were almost bruised from slapping!
I'm so sad!
