BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 - 125 I Mainly Wanted to Make a Deal With You, Little Kid (1)
He should at least give them a number so that everyone could make plans.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to stand here and shout.
The old man looked quite old, but his eyes were especially bright. He glanced at the surrounding guests and suddenly stretched out a hand. “At least this much!”
!!
When everyone saw him open his hand, the scholarly middle-aged man chuckled. “Five hundred yuan, right? Then I’ll give it to you!”
With that, he was about to take out money from his pocket.
Unexpectedly, the old man rolled his eyes and shouted, “Who said that the price was 500 yuan? This is a treasure. Do you really think you can take a look at it for 500 yuan? It will cost at least 5,000 yuan!”
When they heard that it cost 5,000 yuan to take a look, the surrounding guests all booed.
“I think this old man might be a liar. It costs 5,000 yuan to take a look. How disdainful!”
“I don’t think so. Perhaps this thing is good, so he dares to ask for such a price!”
“It costs 5,000 yuan just to take a look. Oh my god, how much does the thing in his hand cost?”
At this moment, Liu Yun’s eyes were fixed on the bronze artifact. It was as if a grenade had exploded in his heart.
At first glance, he could tell that this bronze artifact was the real thing.
Moreover, it was not something simple.
This was a three-legged cauldron. In ancient times, it was used as a ritual vessel.
It definitely had a powerful background, as well as a deep cultural and historical significance. It was definitely a good thing!
Just as Liu Yun’s thoughts were surging, the middle-aged man had already taken out a stack of cash and handed it over. “This should be fine, right? In the antique business, we definitely have to start from taking a look. Only then can the buyer feel at ease, right?”
The onlookers also nodded vigorously. That made sense!
The old man snatched the money and stuffed it into his pocket without counting.
Then, he gently placed the bronze artifact on the rag in front of him and said, “I’m not from your circle. I don’t understand all your twists and turns! I only know that you can only look at my things if you pay!”
The scholarly middle-aged man was not angry. He picked up the bronze artifact from the ground and looked at it carefully. As he looked at it, he exclaimed.
“Look at the corners here. This is all bronze rust created by time! This color is too beautiful!”
“With this weight and texture, it’s definitely impossible for this to be fake!”
“Look at this pattern. It’s simply the most beautiful gift from the heavens!”
When the people beside the middle-aged man heard his exclamations, their hearts itched. If this was real, it would definitely be priceless.
Liu Yun felt a burning sensation in his heart, so he asked the old man, “Where did you get this?”
The old man slapped his chest hard, making a muffled bang. “I’m not bragging to you. Our ancestors were also very powerful figures! This item has been passed down in our family for generations. If not for the sake of getting my son a wife, I wouldn’t be willing to sell it!”
The old man spoke logically and flawlessly.
Liu Yun did not say anything, but the eagerness in his heart increased.
It was very normal if this had been passed down from his ancestors. Otherwise, how could bronze artifacts be easily seen on the market now?
His ancestor must have collected this three-legged cauldron. Only then were they lucky enough to see it reappear in the market hundreds of years later.
Liu Yun quickly asked, “How much do you plan to sell it for?”
“Two hundred thousand yuan. I won’t sell it for anything less!” The old man stretched out his hand and made a “two” gesture. Then, he observed Liu Yun. “Young man, I see that we’re very close. That’s why I gave you this price out of friendship. This is already the lowest price in my heart. Anything below this is definitely out of the question!”
Hearing the high price of 200,000 yuan, Liu Yun could not help but gasp.
Should he buy it or not?
If it was real, its worth would be ten times higher!
Thinking of the huge profits, Liu Yun’s eyes were already shining.
Just as Liu Yun was feeling conflicted, the middle-aged man beside him clicked his tongue in wonder. He put down the bronze artifact regretfully and said, “What a good thing. It’s simply amazing to take it back and treat it as a family heirloom! However, this price is too high for me. It seems that I can only watch as such good things change owners.”
He carefully placed the bronze artifact on the ground and said to the old man, “I’ll return the item to its original owner. You have to be careful.”
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to leave, the old man frowned and took out the stack of money from his pocket. After counting and taking out 500 yuan, he returned the rest to the middle-aged man. “I only charged you 5,000 yuan as a deposit. Since you’ve played with it, I’ll charge you 500 yuan and return the rest to you.”
The surrounding guests revealed understanding expressions.
Although 500 yuan was a very expensive price to play with this item, this highlighted how extraordinary this bronze artifact was.
“A price of 200,000 yuan is completely beyond my budget. Otherwise, I would have spent 500 yuan to play with it!”
“It’s indeed expensive, but this is a bronze artifact. Its value and the meaning behind it are extraordinary!”
“This old man is quite honest. The man was about to leave, but he still stopped him and took the initiative to return the money. It looks like he’s a good person!”
