Chapter 88 Centennial Bezoar(1/2)
Chen Shixing frowned immediately. He came here today just to buy things in a low-key manner, but he didn't want to be too conspicuous.
He said coldly, "I don't want to cause trouble today, so you'd better not provoke me."
Song Ziyi said, "Oh, you are still in high spirits, right? Do you know who has the final say in this antique street?"
At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from behind.
"Master Song, who are you competing with?"
Following the sound, I saw an old man with white hair walking over. He was holding a pear-wood dragon-headed crutch and was wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He looked like he was of high status.
Song Ziyi also quickly said respectfully, "Mr. Guan!"
"Yue Yao, this is the most powerful senior in the antique world, Mr. Guan."
Lin Yueyao's eyes lit up slightly and she quickly stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello, Mr. Guan, I am Lin Yueyao from the Lin family, the sales director of Hongyan Group."
Mr. Guan nodded and exchanged business cards with Lin Yueyao. The Lin family was not important, but the Hongyan Group's name was still very resounding.
Lin Yueyao was immediately overjoyed. This time, she had gained something from her visit. She was a big shot like Mr. Guan.
Mr. Guan glanced at the ring on the ground and smiled faintly.
"Are you two fighting over this ring?"
Song Ziyi said, "That's right, this guy doesn't know how to behave, and he actually grabs things from me. He's looking for death!"
Mr. Guan stroked his beard and laughed a few times.
"This is a fake. It's not an antique. It's just an ordinary ring that has been worn. It's the same when you buy it in a jewelry store."
Guan Lao's words made everyone's expressions change slightly.
Song Ziyi frowned, "It turns out it's a fake. This guy is really stupid. He still looked at the fake for so long!"
After saying that, Song Ziyi was about to leave.
Suddenly, Mr. Guan pointed to the box on the ground and said.
"But this box is a nice thing."
Chen Shixing's face darkened. He didn't expect that this old man had indeed better eyesight than ordinary people.
You can actually tell that this box is pretty good.
Song Ziyi was stunned, "Oh? Mr. Guan said this thing is good, so it must be good. I want this box!"
"How much?"
Chen Shixing frowned and said coldly.
"I took a fancy to this box first."
Song Ziyi glared, "You're in high spirits, aren't you?"
The stall owner said, "I was originally going to give this box away with the ring, but since Mr. Guan said it is a good thing, how about you two bidding?"
Song Ziyi sneered, "Does he deserve to bid against me? I'll pay 50,000!"
Chen Shixing said, "I will pay 100,000!"
Just as Song Ziyi was about to speak, Mr. Guan stopped him and said.
"This wooden box is worth at most 50,000 yuan. It would be pointless to ask for more."
Song Ziyi frowned. Although Mr. Guan said so, it was a bit shameful to lose like this.
"I'll pay you two hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!" Master Chen did not hesitate to increase the price.
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Fifty!"
Song Ziyi hesitated. Five hundred thousand was a large sum for him.
If it goes down the drain, there will be no pocket money next month.
"Haha, if you have the money, go ahead and buy it. Spending half a million to buy a broken box is really funny."
The deal was completed for 500,000 yuan. Chen Shixing paid the money, got the box, and was about to leave.
Mr. Guan suddenly stepped forward and said, "Little friend, there are so many people watching today, why don't you open the box and let us open our eyes?"
Mr. Guan had a hint of joking on his face, as if he was waiting to watch a show.
Chen Shixing sneered. It seemed that these people wanted to see the excitement and see what his expression would be like after losing half a million yuan.
"Okay, as you wish."
Chen Shixing squeezed hard and broke the box open.
Mr. Guan shook his head, with a trace of schadenfreude on his face.
A box bought for half a million yuan is valuable because of its value. Now that the box is broken like this, it is equivalent to the fact that half a million yuan has been wasted.
This guy is really an idiot. Maybe after opening it, the box will be empty, which would be more efficient.
The box was crushed, and a strong medicinal fragrance came out.
When asked about the taste, everyone was very curious.
"This is……"
Mr. Guan's expression suddenly changed.
"It's a bezoar!"
Only then did everyone realize that it was indeed the smell of bezoar, but the taste was somewhat different from ordinary bezoar.
Seeing a piece of paste-like substance in the box, Mr. Guan immediately slapped his thigh.
"It's aged bezoar!"
Bezoar is a calculus of cattle and is a very precious type of traditional Chinese medicine.
Aged bezoars will appear in a paste-like form, making them even rarer and more precious.
Such a large piece of bezoar paste would cost at least several million!
And it’s priceless!
Seeing this creamy piece of bezoar, Mr. Guan slapped his thigh with regret.
"Young man, how about I pay five million for this piece of bezoar?"
Everyone was shocked!
Is this thing worth five million?
I spent 500,000 yuan to buy it, but the price doubled in an instant. Isn’t this terrifying?
Song Ziyi was even more angry and stamped his feet. He should have spent more money to buy it just now!
This old man Guan actually makes mistakes sometimes!
Chen Shixing sneered, "I won't sell it."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The moment he turned around, Lin Yueyao felt that he looked familiar.
Suddenly he stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute!"
Then, Lin Yueyao walked forward and took a closer look behind his ear.
Chen Shixing frowned, "What are you doing!"
Lin Yueyao was immediately ecstatic.
"It's you!"
Chen Shixing was stunned for a moment, "What am I?"
Did Lin Yueyao recognize him?
Probably not?
He changed his clothes and put on a mask, and deliberately lowered his voice.
With Lin Yueyao's eyesight, she shouldn't be able to see it so easily.
Lin Yueyao whispered, "You are Mr. Chen! I am Lin Yueyao, do you still remember me?"
Chen Shixing immediately understood. It turned out that she did not recognize Chen Shixing, but the person who saved her that day.
"No, you got the wrong person."
After saying that, Chen Shixing turned around and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.
Although I didn't find the piece of aged musk, I found this piece of bezoar paste, which is pretty good.
