"Boss, is this bronze tripod of yours genuine?" Su Yun picked up a brand new bronze tripod and examined it from top to bottom."Genuine, genuine! This is an item from the Shang and Zhou dynasties!" the boss said with a smile."I think it's from last week..." Su Yun put down the bronze tripod and continued walking further inside.It has to be said, this Antique City is quite large; stall 106 is still a bit further in.A few minutes later, Su Yun, while browsing, saw the sign for stall 106.He glanced at the stall, where items were neatly arranged, mostly ancient coins.There were silver dollars, ancient copper coins, and all sorts of styles.Among them was an iron box, filled with copper plates covered in rust. Most of these copper plates were not worth much money, and their condition was very poor.A box full of copper coins would probably fetch around three hundred yuan at market price.Su Yun first picked up a few copper plates at the front of the stall, looked at them for a few seconds, and then asked about the price."Boss, how much is this Kangxi Tongbao?" Su Yun asked."Well, this one..." The boss's eyes darted. He could tell this young man was not an expert.A Kangxi Tongbao was only worth a few yuan, yet he was asking about it.He hadn't made a sale in half a month, so this young man in front of him was a prime target for a scam."This is a genuine Kangxi Tongbao, extremely rare in existence, very precious!""Little brother, you truly have good taste to pick out this treasure at first glance. Many old collectors have made offers, but none met my bottom line, so I didn't sell it.""I feel a connection with you, so I won't ask for much. This Kangxi Tongbao will be yours for a flat ten thousand yuan!" The boss waved his hand, a reluctant expression on his face."Hmm... Boss, what you're saying isn't too expensive. Ancient items are indeed worth this much." Su Yun naturally knew the boss was trying to scam him.But to find a hidden gem, he had to pretend to be a novice; that way, it would be safer!"If you think it's suitable, then take it?" Seeing that Su Yun was indeed a novice, the boss relaxed his guard, his face full of joy."No rush, no rush. Actually, I don't really like Kangxi Tongbao. I see this big pile of copper coins you have, all mixed together. How are these sold?" Su Yun picked up the small box, shook it, and then placed it back on the table."Oh, this! These are good things...""Brother, I'd say you have good taste! I collected this box from the countryside. My cost price was fifty thousand yuan. If you want it, I'll let you have it for sixty thousand!" The boss looked left and right, as if afraid others would hear.Su Yun's mouth twitched uncontrollably after hearing that.Good heavens, he might not be an expert, but he wasn't crazy!Buying a pile of junk for sixty thousand yuan, wouldn't that make him a complete idiot?This boss really thought he was a fool from Japan to scam!"Well..." Su Yun pretended to hesitate, stroking his chin in thought."Don't think about it, brother, sixty thousand yuan, this is the lowest price I can give you!" the boss urged.Just as Su Yun was about to haggle, an old man with white hair suddenly walked over, directly picked up the box of copper coins, shook it, and then looked at it for a few seconds.Seeing this, Su Yun instantly tensed up. What was this old man doing here? He just picked up this box of copper coins?Did he also know there was a valuable coin inside?And when the stall owner saw the old man approaching, his expression also turned very ugly."Hey, hey, hey, if you're not buying, don't touch! I'm doing business here!" The boss snatched the box back, annoyed."Little Zhao, what kind of talk is that! In the entire Antique City, who doesn't know me, Wang Yunchang! Or rather, is there any bigger collector here than me?""Give it to me!" The old man named Wang Yunchang's ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) expression turned serious, and the boss could only reluctantly hand him the box."Professor Wang, I haven't made a sale in half a month, and you don't even like these things. Can you please not interfere?" Boss Zhao looked at Professor Wang with a pleading expression.He was just about to sell these dilapidated items at a high price to this novice, and this old man had to show up.And this old man couldn't stand scams; he was bound to ruin his good business!"Heh heh! Aren't I here to help you make a sale?""Pack me a hundred of these fakes on your stall, one yuan each.""And these defective items in this box, let's say five hundred yuan for them!""I've got a few new students, I'll let them practice with these scraps!" Professor Wang instructed.Boss Zhao saw that he wanted to buy this box for five hundred yuan and immediately felt a pang of pain: "Professor Wang, I can't sell this box to you. I've already agreed with this young man to sell it to him!""In other words, this item is taken. Please look elsewhere!"Boss Zhao said, taking the box into his own hands."Yes, old sir, I was just haggling with the boss." "He's selling this box to me for sixty thousand yuan, and I don't know if that's reasonable or not!" Seeing that Professor Wang hadn't discovered the secret inside, Su Yun became bolder.Since this boss wanted to scam him, he might as well use Professor Wang to haggle."What! Little Zhao, your heart has become this black? You dare to sell a pile of scrap metal for sixty thousand? Aren't you scamming people?" Professor Wang said indignantly, his voice loud enough to attract many people nearby."Old Zhao, haven't you just had no business for half a month? Is it really necessary to scam young people like this!""Selling a pile of junk for sixty thousand yuan, you really thought of that!""If Professor Wang hadn't come today, this young man would have really been scammed by you!""Old Zhao, even though business is tough for us, we can't scam people this badly! I wouldn't even dare to hear that price you're asking!"His peers around him kept ridiculing and advising Old Zhao, and Old Zhao's face instantly turned red."Hmph! Little Zhao, stop doing things that would make you childless without an anus!""Young man, the antique business is very deep. I just looked, this whole box is junk, it's not worth anything at all!""I'll give you an estimate: he'd still make a profit at six hundred yuan!""Look, if you don't want it, I'll take it!" Professor Wang glanced at Old Zhao and said."So that's how it is...""But I see that everything inside is old!""It shouldn't be just six hundred yuan, right?"Su Yun scratched his head and said."Right, right, right! Young man, you're absolutely right!""Don't listen to these people talking nonsense. They're just trying to scam you because they see you found a hidden gem!" Boss Zhao's confidence immediately surged when he saw Su Yun was interested in these items!"Hmm, but boss, this box certainly isn't worth sixty thousand. The most I can offer you is one thousand yuan!" Su Yun said with a smile."One thousand yuan? Ah! I, this old man, really shouldn't have opened my mouth to warn him!" Professor Wang looked at Su Yun with a disappointed expression, put his hands behind his back, and left directly."This young man, we told him the market price, and he still insists on adding a few hundred yuan!""Exactly, poor Professor Wang's painstaking efforts!""Young people are just young people. They'll regret it when they realize it's a pile of scrap metal..." The surrounding people, seeing Su Yun still offer one thousand yuan, also pointed and whispered.Su Yun didn't take these voices to heart. If they knew what was inside, they'd probably pay a hundred thousand to buy it!"This... one thousand yuan, that's too little..." Old Zhao was clearly a bit disappointed. From sixty thousand to one thousand, the difference was too great."If you don't want to sell, then forget it. I'm leaving now." Su Yun also used a tactic of feigning disinterest to entice. With Professor Wang's words, the boss would have to sell whether he wanted to or not.Besides, his offer was even higher!"Alright, alright, alright! Take it!" Boss Zhao thought about it. He'd still make a few hundred yuan at a thousand. If Professor Wang came back later, he'd probably lose money... Su Yun quickly scanned the code and paid, happily taking the box. He suddenly noticed everyone around him looking at him as if he were an idiot.Su Yun was somewhat excited at this moment. This was his first time finding a hidden gem in his life. He quickly hugged the box and headed towards the appraisal spot at the entrance of the Antique City...
