Chapter: 6323

After arriving at the antique street, he wore a mask and walked around inside for a while, then found Zhou Liangyun's "Treasure Pavilion".

The "Treasure Pavilion" was still without an advertisement, with only Zhou Liangyun alone inside tidying up, except for old shelves and display cabinets, there were no products to sell, estimated that he wanted to move forward on the right track, at least taking a few months of time to prepare slowly.

Ye Chen didn't go in to disturb him but went to a nearby teahouse on the opposite side, found a good spot with a wide view on the second floor and sat down, ordered a pot of Bi Luo Chun tea, and drank while waiting and watching to see what his father-in-law and Zhang Erma, that scoundrel, were concocting.

Afternoon six-thirty, the sky gradually darkened.

A figure rushed into the antique street, running small steps.

As soon as this person entered the antique street, they hurried straight to Ji Qing Hall, which was located at the core of the street.

At this moment, Ji Qing Hall's manager Chen Yu Fei was busy with a few colleagues, with a few idling customers roaming around in the store. Chen Yu Fei delegated tasks to other colleagues and waited anxiously for Zhang Erma to send someone over.

A few minutes later, one person rushed in, asked hastily: "Is the boss here? Does our store collect antiques?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Yu Fei immediately approached with enthusiasm, asking: "Don't you plan to bring something out?"

The person looked around cautiously and then took out a thing wrapped in red silk cloth from their waist. After carefully lifting one corner, they revealed a seam and let Chen Yu Fei see a small part of it. Then, they quickly covered it back up and whispered lowly: "This is an excellent item. I'm not sure if you guys have the ability to take it down."

Chen Yu Fei smiled and said: "Look at what you're saying. If there's anything in all of Jinling that we can't take down, then you won't be able to take this one either."

As he spoke, his expression became profound: "What I just saw is probably a base. If I'm not mistaken, it should be an item from the Ming dynasty. So, please come with me to the VIP room and let's discuss in detail. You can also have me appraise the value of this item."

The person hurriedly agreed: "Alright! Let's hurry!"

Chen Yu Fei invited him into the VIP room behind, then locked the door, leaving only the two of them inside.

Originally, this VIP room was not monitored. After Xiao Chang Kun broke the jade bottle in the spring, Song Wan Ting had someone install monitors at obvious locations.

The person came in and saw that there were even surveillance cameras inside the room. He quickly asked, "How do you still have recording equipment here? I can't let outsiders know about what's going on here."

Chen Yu Fei was very clear in his mind that these conversations were actually part of a pre-arranged script. So he smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. This is our internal security camera, mainly to keep evidence in case we have any disputes or disagreements over an item. As for my line of work, I must be careful, in case you try to intentionally break something and claim it's our fault. Without surveillance, we'd have no way to resolve the issue."

The person was helpless and waved his hand saying, "Alright, alright. I'm here to sell goods, not to cheat people. Take a look at the item first, and if it's okay, give me a price as soon as possible."

After that, he handed over the item wrapped in red silk cloth to Chen Yu Fei.

Chen Yu Fei took the item, carefully examined the Buddha statue and its base separately, then smiled at the person and said, "Brother, are you in a hurry to sell this?"

"Yes." The person nodded. "As long as the price is right, I can sell it now."

Chen Yu Fei chuckled and asked him, "What do you plan to auction this off for?"

The person extended five fingers. "Fifty thousand!"

"Fifty thousand?" Chen Yu Fei snickered. "This item looks like a copper Buddha from the Ming dynasty's proclamation period. The craftsmanship and shape are excellent. If I were to put it up for auction, at least I could sell it for one or two hundred thousand. Why do you want to sell it for fifty thousand?"

The man let out a sigh and said, "Don't deceive you, this thing belongs to our family's old master. The old master just passed away in the afternoon, leaving all the antiques to my older brother. I'm thinking that the old master was too biased towards him, so I need to get some things for myself, that's why I quietly took it out and want to sell it quickly. You don't have to tell me what it's worth - one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, or five hundred thousand. I'm not greedy, just give me fifty thousand and this thing is yours." JrNovels.com
