786 It’s So Strong That It’s a Little Perverted
On the other side, Yao Shunmin heard everyone’s discussion and immediately became extremely anxious.
In order to make a fool of Maple Leaf Pavilion, he deliberately used words to mock the other party and promised that if he lost, he would support Maple Leaf Pavilion to enter Yang Cheng.
However, he never expected that there would really be an expert in Maple Leaf Pavilion who actually picked out a priceless Southern Song Dynasty tea cup. This time, he really shot himself in the foot.
If the Maple Leaf Pavilion was allowed to enter Yang Cheng, it would affect Purple Bamboo Pavilion’s position. They had to be stopped no matter what.
At the thought of this, he hurriedly winked at Mr. Liu and said, “I think this teacup looks ordinary. Even if it was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would still be a defective product.”
Mr. Liu naturally saw the look in his eyes and felt annoyed. “Do you know anything about building a kiln? This teacup has an even glaze color and a fine texture. What is even rarer was that it is preserved completely. It is a rare good product among the black porcelain of the Jian kiln. How could it be called a defective product?”
His words nearly angered Yao Shunmin to death. Why did he find such a stubborn appraiser?
Purple Bamboo Pavilion had lost all their face.
Ye Feng and the rest were amused when they saw this scene.
Was Purple Bamboo Pavilion starting an internal conflict?
Sun Shouyi was also a wily old fox. He immediately seized the opportunity to ask, “Then, Mr. Liu, can you give me an estimate? How much is this teacup worth?”
Mr. Liu stared at the teacup with a serious expression. After a while, he gave his appraisal. “I think it’s difficult to give an appraisal for such a rare and exquisite product. If I have to set a price, it cannot be lower than 5 million.”
The moment he said this, the scene was once again in an uproar.
“Oh my god, I thought it would be good if it was a few hundred thousand. I didn’t expect it to be worth more than 5 million?”
“D*mn, he bought it for 10,000, but it’s actually worth more than 5 million? Are you lying?”
“This is the price that Purple Bamboo Pavilion’s appraiser estimated. I think it should be reliable.”
“That’s right, Purple Bamboo Pavilion and Maple Leaf Pavilion aren’t on good terms, so they definitely wouldn’t overestimate it.”
“But isn’t this too exaggerated? 5 million? Isn’t the appraiser of Maple Leaf Pavilion a little too fierce?”
“Moreover, he’s so young. His future is limitless…”
Everyone felt that this price was unbelievable, but this price was estimated by Purple Bamboo Pavilion’s appraiser, so no one questioned it.
For a moment, everyone looked at Ye Feng in a daze, especially since he was so young. He was especially eye-catching among the group of old men.
Even the people from Maple Leaf Pavilion were in disbelief.
To be able to buy a high-quality item worth 5 million yuan with just a casual move, this could no longer be described as ‘powerful’. It was simply a little perverted!
Especially Lin Qianqian, she was so excited that she could not control herself. She rushed to Ye Feng without caring about her image, pulling his arm and jumping around.
The more she had come into contact with antiques during this period of time, the more she felt that the waters in this industry were too deep. Many experts who had been in the industry for half their lives often noticed this.
However, for Ye Feng, it was as easy as eating and drinking.
Until now, she could not forget how Ye Feng managed to exchange a stamp for the entire Maple Leaf Pavilion.
That kind of elegance made her feel refreshed.
Sun Shouyi hadn’t forgotten his responsibility as the store manager. He immediately walked up to Yao Shunmin and said, “Boss Yao, you seem to have promised that as long as the value of the antiques we choose exceeds yours, you will support our Maple Leaf Pavilion to enter Yang Cheng. I wonder if your words still count?”
Yao Shunmin was extremely depressed at this moment. He did not expect his appraiser to ruin his reputation, but now that things had come to this, he naturally could not break his promise openly.
“Our Purple Bamboo Pavilion has always been based on honesty. Since I’ve promised before, I’ll naturally keep my word. As the owner of Purple Bamboo Pavilion, I, Yao Shunmin, support Maple Leaf Pavilion in entering Yang Cheng.”
Everyone from Sun Shouyi down in Maple Leaf Pavilion cheered.
Purple Bamboo Pavilion was the leader of the antique industry in Yang Cheng. As long as they agreed, the other antique dealers would naturally not dare to openly resist. Of course, there would definitely be a lot of small movements in private, but Sun Shouyi believed that he could still deal with them.
Everyone present looked at each other, especially the local antique dealers of Yang Cheng. They were all a little helpless.
“Purple Bamboo Pavilion actually agreed to let Maple Leaf Pavilion enter Yang Cheng? Then I’m afraid our days in the future won’t be easy.”
“What else can we do? Who asked him to say that as long as the value of the antiques chosen by others exceeded theirs, he would support them to enter Yang Cheng?”
“Boss Yao originally wanted to suppress Maple Leaf Pavilion, but he didn’t expect Maple Leaf Pavilion to be so strong.”
“Hahaha, this is just pretending to be a b*tch and getting struck by lightning. You want to make a fool of others, but in the end, the clown is actually yourself, haha.”
“Purple Bamboo Pavilion has lost all their face today. They’ve been completely suppressed by Maple Leaf Pavilion.”
“I think it won’t be long before the head of the antique trade in Yang Cheng changes hands…”
Just as everyone was discussing, Feng Jianwu, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared out of nowhere. She pulled Ye Feng’s hand sneakily. “Master, quickly follow me.”
Ye Feng was confused by her. “Where are we going?”
Feng Jianwu hurriedly placed her finger between her lips. “Shh, lower your voice. Don’t let others know.”
Ye Feng was helpless. He could only let her pull him and walk out of the crowd.
Seeing this, the few people from Maple Leaf Pavilion hurriedly followed.
Seeing that there was no more fun to watch, the crowd dispersed.
After everyone left, Yao Shunmin immediately turned his head and made things difficult for Mr. Liu. “Liu Zimu, what do you mean? I already gave you a hint. Why did you announce the true price of the teacup? Do you know how much trouble your actions have brought to our Purple Bamboo Pavilion?”
Liu Zimu’s expression turned ugly when he was questioned. “Everything I said is true to my conscience. I’m sorry, I can’t do it if you want me to speak against my conscience.”
Yao Shunmin was so angry that he laughed. “What a good word, ‘have a conscience’. Then, have you let me down? My Purple Bamboo Pavilion spent so much money to support you, yet you’re siding with outsiders?”
Liu Zimu snorted coldly. “If I knew that you were someone who would do anything to achieve your goals, I wouldn’t have come to your Purple Bamboo Pavilion no matter how much money you gave me.”
Yao Shunmin was also completely enraged. “Since you’re so aloof, then get lost and return the money we gave you.”
Liu Zimu laughed coldly. “Don’t worry. I’ll return all the money you gave me. I won’t take a single cent because I’m afraid of dirtying my hands.”
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
..
On the other side, Ye Feng was dragged by Feng Jianwu to a remote stall.
The other stalls were all overcrowded, but this stall was almost deserted.
This was because the stall owner did not display the antiques at all. They were all placed in three large boxes that were one-meter square. The boxes were locked as if they were afraid of being seen by others.
