Chapter 145 500,000
The shop owner smiled and said, "Is this Miss Huang's boyfriend?"
"What a talent."
"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Xiao looked at the snuff bottle with a smile and asked, "How much does the boss plan to pay for this thing?"
"General snuff bottles from the Qing Dynasty are worth thousands to tens of thousands, but this one is relatively rare, so it is worth this price." The shop owner smiled and opened his palm.
"fifty thousand?"
"That's right." The shop owner nodded and said, "I can't agree to a penny less than this amount."
"We have to think about it." Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
Huang Yan'er thought the price was very fair, but after hearing what he said, she nodded slightly and said, "Let's look at other things first."
"Okay, I'll keep this thing for now. You two have figured it out and you can come to me at any time." The store owner was not in a hurry at all.
Huang Yan'er smiled, held Lin Xiao's hand and walked around the store, asking in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with that snuff bottle?"
"Of course." Lin Xiao smiled and nodded. "It's okay to buy it for five thousand, but fifty thousand is purely a loss-making business."
"But some guy probably took the bait."
"Who?" Huang Yan'er asked strangely.
Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly. There was a guy who had been following him just now. "It's about this time."
"Let's go find the boss first."
"Okay." Huang Yan'er nodded, and the two of them walked back to the counter.
The shop owner smiled and asked: "You two, think about it."
"Not bad." Lin Xiao nodded.
The shop owner smiled and said: "I know that good things will never be missed by people with good eyesight."
"Fifty thousand yuan, no less."
He took out the snuff bottle again.
At this moment, the store door was pushed open, and a man walked in quickly, went directly to the counter, looked at the boss and said, "Show me this."
"Huh?" The shop owner was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously handed over the snuff bottle. "Sir, do you want to see this?"
"Yes." The man picked up the snuff bottle, weighed it a few times, and asked with a smile, "How much does this thing cost?"
"Fifty thousand. But this couple was interested first, so I have to ask them." The store owner said.
The man glanced at Lin Xiao and sneered: "You haven't concluded the deal yet, have you?"
"I'll pay you 60,000 yuan!"
"This thing sells for 50,000 yuan, which is not low. If you pay 60,000 yuan, you will definitely lose money." Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Isn't it too miserable to be a liar to your level?"
"You kid!" The man's face was a little gloomy. This guy is the treasure appraisal expert who was exposed by Lin Xiao last time, Hao Wenhua!
Calling him a liar certainly doesn't mean that he doesn't have any level of treasure appraisal. It's simply because this guy is of low character and actually took advantage of the opportunity of public appraisal to secretly swallow other people's good things.
This guy is simply the scum of the treasure appraisal world.
"Stop talking nonsense, if you kid can't pay the price, get out of here."
"If you don't listen to my kind advice, you will suffer a big loss later." Lin Xiao chuckled a few times and said.
Hao Wenhua smiled coldly, who is this kid trying to scare? If something is not good, will your kid target it?
Although Lin Xiao's behavior last time made him resentful, he was not blind. Naturally, he knew very well that Lin Xiao's ability to detect treasures was still better than his own.
So when he saw Lin Xiao getting out of the taxi just now, he immediately followed him in order to pick up the leak.
The shop owner coughed and said, "Brother, we did not have any transactions before. This gentleman offered 60,000 yuan. If there is no higher price, I will have to sell this snuff bottle to him. Please don't mind."
"That's right, if you don't bid, just wait and see." Hao Wenhua sneered.
Lin Xiao glanced at him. "Who said I wouldn't bid? One hundred thousand."
"Tsk!" Hao Wenhua sneered in his heart. This thing is indeed not simple. "One hundred and ten thousand."
"Two hundred thousand." Lin Xiao said immediately.
Hao Wenhua was startled. "Are you crazy? This is not a snuff bottle signed by the emperor, and you paid such a high price?"
"I have money and can be willful, can't I?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Hao Wenhua snorted, "Don't think you can cheat me like this. Two hundred and ten thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!" Lin Xiao said without hesitation.
Such decisiveness once again strengthened Hao Wenhua's belief that this was a good thing, and he quickly shouted: "Three hundred and one thousand."
"Half a million!"
"Fifty-one million!" Hao Wenhua gritted his teeth and said. "No matter how much you price, I will order this snuff bottle."
"In that case, I'll let you do it." Lin Xiao curled his lips slightly and laughed mischievously.
Hao Wenhua was stunned immediately. "You, what do you mean?"
"If you like it so much, I won't argue with you." Lin Xiao smiled. "Boss, sell it to him."
"You don't want it anymore!?" Hao Wenhua was shocked.
Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Even if it is a snuff bottle withdrawn by the emperor, its value is only around 300,000 yuan, and 500,000 yuan is obviously too high."
"If ordinary snuff bottles are available for less than 50,000 yuan, why should I spend 500,000 yuan to take advantage of them?"
"You accused me of being taken advantage of?!" Hao Wenhua glared at him angrily, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
He was actually fooled by Lin Xiao!
Lin Xiao laughed. "You said this yourself, I didn't mean it."
"You kid!" Hao Wenhua was furious, clenching his fists and about to take action.
Lin Xiao chuckled. "What, you want to fight?"
"Hmph, boy, are you deliberately irritating me?" Hao Wenhua snorted and said, "Even if this snuff bottle is not worth half a million, it should still be a good thing."
"As long as I collect it for a few years, the price will increase sooner or later. I have not lost money."
"What you said makes sense, sir. I wonder when I can get the payment?" the store owner asked.
Hao Wenhua said: "Here you go, swipe your card!"
"It's only five hundred thousand, I can afford to pay it back!"
"Okay, thank you." The store owner took out the credit card machine and beeped twice, indicating that the payment was successful.
"I don't know, sir, do you need me to pack it for you?"
"No need." Hao Wenhua directly picked up the snuff bottle and sneered at Lin Xiao: "Boy, I'm eyeing you."
"No matter what you buy today, I will pay a high price for it!"
"I advise you not to do this. After all, you bought something worth up to 5,000 yuan for 500,000 yuan. As long as I have some conscience, I can't bear it." Lin Xiao said with a teasing smile.
Hao Wenhua was surprised. "You said this snuff bottle is only worth five thousand yuan?"
"Then you also bought the previous 50,000 yuan?"
"When did we say we bought it?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
Hao Wenhua's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to scare me? Boy, this trick of yours is useless to me!"
