784 We’re Not interested in a Piece of Trash That’s Over 100,000
This batch of goods was much more than what Ye Feng had expected.
The warehouse was already filled with all kinds of stalls. The stalls were filled with a dazzling array of antiques, and many of them even carried the fragrance of soil. As for their origins, it was impossible to ask.
Sun Shouyi had warned him time and time again not to ask about the background. Asking would be breaking the rules.
In addition, there were also many antique dealers from all over South Guangdong Province. Many of them were acquaintances of Old Sun, and people kept greeting him.
These people were like picking cabbages, picking and choosing in front of these stalls.
The moment Ye Feng entered, he activated the system’s in-depth scanning. He had a good understanding of the goods here.
These goods were half-genuine and half-fake, and the methods of forgery were very clever. Many of them had the fragrance of soil and looked like antiques that had just been unearthed, but they were actually fake.
Along the way, he had already seen several antique dealers paying a lot of money to buy those fakes. They even treated them like treasures, as if they were afraid that they would be snatched away by others.
Ye Feng was not in a hurry to pick out the antiques. He looked at these people’s faces along the way. He felt as if he had seen through the mortal world.
Lin Qianqian followed him and saw him strolling along the way. She was a little anxious. “Hurry up and choose, or else someone else will take them all.”
But Ye Feng was still strolling around unhurriedly. “Don’t worry, these sellers are very smart. They will not take out all the good things at once. Otherwise, how can they fool a fool?”
Lin Qianqian was a little surprised. “How did you know?”
Ye Feng lifted her chin. “There’s a lot of knowledge in this, you can learn slowly.”
Lin Qianqian’s face turned red as she looked around. Fortunately, Old Sun and the others had already split up to pick out the antiques, and Feng Jianwu had disappeared the moment she entered.
Just as the two of them were strolling around, they suddenly heard cheers from the other side.
“Let’s go over and take a look?” Ye Feng turned around and greeted Lin Qianqian. Before she agreed, he walked over.
At this moment, the stall was already surrounded by many people.
As soon as the two of them walked over, they heard everyone’s discussion.
“D*mn, isn’t Boss Yao’s luck too good? He actually bought such a good thing.”
“How can this be considered good luck? It could only be said that Boss Yao’s eyes were very good. He had spotted the treasure at a glance.”
“No wonder the Purple Bamboo Pavilion can sit firmly in the position of the antique dealer in South Guangdong Province.”
“Ugh, Boss Yao is likely going to be the biggest winner today…”
Ye Feng and Lin Qianqian squeezed into the crowd, they saw Yao Shunmin and the rest. They were holding a teacup and looking at it carefully. Their faces were filled with joy.
“Mr. Liu, can you give me a price? How much is this teacup worth?”
The fat on Yao Shunmin’s face was shaking, showing how excited he was.
He asked an old man who came with him. The old man was about 60 years old and wore a white Tang suit. He looked like a master.
Upon hearing his question, Mr. Liu stroked his white beard. “This is a lamp holder from the Hutian kiln of the Song Dynasty. Whether it’s the glaze color, texture, or shape, it’s all very good. It’s a pity that a corner of this place is broken. Otherwise, its value would be even higher…”
Everyone was a little anxious when they heard him dawdling and not getting to the main topic, but no one dared to rush him.
Lin Qianqian was also waiting for the other party to give her a price when she heard Ye Feng say in a low voice, “100,000.”
Before she could ask, Mister Liu continued, “From what I can see, this teacup should be around 100,000.”
Lin Qianqian looked at Ye Feng in shock. He was standing so far away, yet he could tell the value of this lamp holder? Did he have to be so godly?
Everyone exclaimed when they heard the price.
“Boss Yao seemed to have spent 30,000 yuan to buy it just now.”
“Purple Bamboo Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation.”
“There’s a reason why he could become the number one antique dealer in Yang Cheng.”
The value was too high.
Hearing everyone’s enthusiastic discussion, Yao Shunmin was slightly disappointed. He thought that he would be able to increase the price by at least ten times. However, it was still a good start. It was much better than buying a fake right away.
Just as he was thanking the crowd, he suddenly saw Ye Feng and Lin Qianqian in the crowd.
“Hey, isn’t this the appraiser from Maple Leaf Pavilion? Why? You’ve been in here for so long, but you haven’t chosen a single piece? Aren’t your Maple Leaf Pavilion’s standards too high?”
He deliberately said it loudly, especially when he said the words ‘Maple Leaf Pavilion’, he deliberately emphasized it, afraid that others would not know that the people of Maple Leaf Pavilion were inferior to him.
Ye Feng had also heard from Sun Shouyi earlier that the reason why Yao Shunmin was targeting them was mainly because Maple Leaf Pavilion was preparing to enter Yang Cheng during this period of time, thus they had attracted the hostility of Purple Bamboo Pavilion.
As the deputy manager of Maple Leaf Pavilion, Lin Qianqian naturally did not want to be suppressed. She immediately retorted, “That’s right. Our Maple Leaf Pavilion’s standards are indeed very high. We wouldn’t even be interested in a piece of junk worth 100,000.”
She originally wanted to belittle Yao Shunmin, but she didn’t expect this old fox to catch her wrong words. “Oh, really? Then I really want to see what kind of treasure Maple Leaf Pavilion can pick. Hurry up and show us.”
When he took the lead, everyone present followed suit.
“That’s right. I heard that Maple Leaf Pavilion is about to enter Yang Cheng. Then show us your strength.”
“That’s right. If you want to enter someone else’s territory, you have to show your skills, right?”
“If the antiques you picked are not as valuable as the Purple Bamboo Pavilion’s, then you’d better not come as soon as possible.”
“Haha, how many years has Purple Bamboo Pavilion been in Yang Cheng? How can your Maple Leaf Pavilion shake them?”
“Hurry up and choose. Let us see…”
Lin Qianqian was in a dilemma. She could only ask Ye Feng for help.
Ye Feng deliberately teased her. He directly gave up, “Why are you looking at me? Whoever said that would have to deal with it themselves.”
Lin Qianqian was a little embarrassed. “Please help me. You’re the owner of Maple Leaf Pavilion. It’s not good for you if Maple Leaf Pavilion’s reputation is damaged.”
Ye Feng liked to see her anxious look. “It’s alright, I am not relying on Maple Leaf Pavilion to earn money anyway, so what if my reputation is damaged?”
Lin Qianqian wanted to continue but Yao Shunmin continued to mock her. “What? Don’t tell me you don’t dare? It seems that the appraisers of your Maple Leaf Pavilion are not that good.”
The surrounding people also continued to jeer.
Ye Feng turned around and glanced at him. “We are giving Boss Yao face. If we get too good of an item from this stall, wouldn’t Boss Yao and Purple Bamboo Pavilion be too useless?”
Yao Shunmin immediately continued, “Hahaha, you really know how to talk. If you’re incompetent, just say so. Why are you looking for so many excuses? If you really have the ability, go ahead and choose. Don’t give me any face.”
