Chapter: 6337
...In the tea house, Ye Chen saw Zhou Liying should have been caught off guard, and let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
The old man wanted to swindle him, but didn't expect to lift a stone and crush his own foot. Although Ye Chen suspected that his old man must have earned some money, he wouldn't have any actual loss, considering his character, once he found out that he had given away over a million yuan in profit, he would probably be unhappy for several days and couldn't eat.
However, Ye Chen felt this was also a good thing.
At least, it would allow the old man to learn a lesson, not just because he earned twenty thousand yuan, but he would rather not earn that money than let Zhou Liying earn more, so this matter will definitely become his long-term nightmare and heart demon.
As for Zhang Ermao, Ye Chen also planned to give him a lesson. This person was indeed intelligent, but it had to be used in the right way; otherwise, he would have to find an opportunity to whip him.
Just as Ye Chen put down his worries and prepared to leave the tea house and go home, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the street.
It turned out to be his old man, Xu Changkun, with a smug expression walking towards him.
And then, Zhang Ermao also sneaked up behind Xu Changkun.
Ye Chen couldn't help but think, "Is this an unexpected visit?" So he sat back down in his seat and planned to watch the commotion.
Zhou Liying was taking photos of the bronze Buddha in the shop at that moment. He knew some antique collectors' exchange websites around the world and planned to post this bronze Buddha on a website popular in China, listing it at a relatively favorable price to see if anyone would be willing to take it immediately.
This kind of website, generally speaking, is quite private, and the operators don't actively promote it on a large scale. Instead, they rely on offline invitations to high-end players, making it seem like an exclusive club. However, this club only exists online, and only those who have reached a certain level will know about its existence.
On this website, big shots will post information about purchases and sales. Many times, high-end collectors will discreetly trade items among themselves without wanting to go through auctions. They'll instead use this channel to make private transactions with each other.
This is also why many collectors only know that an item exists but don't know who has it.
Zhou Liying registered a new account on the website and paid a 10,000 yuan registration fee. The website operates anonymously, making it very secure.
After registering the account, he planned to post photos and information of the bronze Buddha and set a price of 20 million.
In his opinion, this price is not too high. If the bronze Buddha still has its gilded finish, its estimated value would be around 100 million. Without the gilding, cutting the price by half would still make it reasonable.
Based on that, he further reduced the price by 1 million and set the final price at 20 million, which is quite a bargain.
Moreover, bronze Buddhas from the Song Dynasty are very rare, with sometimes only one new piece emerging every year. True collectors will even be willing to pay premiums, so he believes that if he puts the item out there, it should be sold by tonight.
Just as he was writing the introduction, suddenly the sound of knocking came.
He looked up and saw Xu Changkun standing outside the door, looking in through the glass window.
Undoubtedly, Zhou Liangyun recognized Xu Changkun. Initially, he had been trying to get Leaf Chen to join the Jiyue Hall, and he had been making great efforts to get close to Xu Changkun. Now that he saw Xu Changkun suddenly appearing outside the door, he immediately understood everything that was happening today.
At this moment, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking to himself: "It turns out that person is Xu Changkun's minion......"
He put down his phone, shaking his head and laughing as he walked to the door to open it.
As he opened the door, Zhou Liangyun looked at Xu Changkun's smug face outside, greeting him with a polite smile: "Ah, Mr. Xu, long time no see."
Xu Changkun snickered between his nose rings and said, "Hey, Manager Zhou, when did you get back? Why didn't you even send me a message on WeChat?" JrNovels.com
