At this time, the light in Xiao Ye's eyes was even brighter.
He took complete control of the situation and knew that his goal had been achieved.
He smiled lightly and said to the stall owner.
"Stall owner, I don't want this bronzeware anymore."
"Master Ouyang offers a high price, so sell it to him."
The stall owner was a little surprised, but finally nodded.
Just as Xiao Ye was about to leave the stall, Ouyang Hao's sarcasm sounded again,
"Xiao Ye, don't come here to climb high branches if you don't have money."
"This is not a place for people like you."
Xiao Ye smiled slightly. He understood that the reason why Ouyang Hao targeted him in this way was probably because he saw him and Zhao Yasi appearing at the banquet together.
In Ouyang Hao's eyes, he may be a love rival.
Xiao Ye responded calmly.
"Master Ouyang, thank you for the reminder."
Xiao Ye continued to stroll among the various stalls, his eyes lingering on each item for a while, observing carefully.
In front of a stall, his eyes were attracted by a piece of porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
He stepped forward and asked the stall owner.
"How much does this piece of porcelain cost?"
The stall owner glanced at Xiao Ye, as if trying to judge his purchasing ability, and then said.
"This piece of porcelain is very rare, twenty-five thousand."
Xiao Ye nodded without any change in expression, then turned and left.
Xiao Ye continued to move forward and came to another stall.
This time, he took a fancy to an ancient bronze vessel. He also asked about the price.
"How much does this hairpin cost?"
The stall owner looked at the hairpin carefully, hesitated, and finally said.
"Eighteen thousand."
Xiao Ye was about to respond, but Ouyang Hao immediately interrupted.
"I'll pay 20,000."
Xiao Ye just smiled slightly and did not show any disappointment or annoyance.
he said simply to the stall owner.
"Then let him."
After saying that, he continued to move forward.
In this way, Xiao Ye walked among the stalls in the manor.
He didn't seem to care that Ouyang Hao was following closely behind him and kept trying to provoke.
Whenever Xiao Ye showed interest in an antique or piece of art, he would ask for the price.
If the price exceeds twenty thousand dollars, he will turn away without hesitation, as if the item had never attracted his attention.
Ouyang Hao observed Xiao Ye's every move and gradually made a judgment in his heart.
Xiao Ye probably only brought 20,000 yuan.
As a result, Ouyang Hao began to adopt a more proactive strategy.
Every time Xiao Ye was interested in a certain item, he immediately made a bid to get ahead of Xiao Ye.
However, Xiao Ye seemed not to be affected by this.
He stopped at each stall and carefully observed each exhibit.
His focus and seriousness make people around him curious about the antiques he cares about.
Ouyang Hao was a little confused by Xiao Ye's actions. He didn't understand why Xiao Ye could be so calm.
Xiao Ye stopped in front of a stall again, and this time his interest was attracted by a jade pendant from the Qing Dynasty.
He carefully observed the texture and carving of the jade pendant, and then turned to the stall owner to ask.
"How much does this jade pendant cost?"
The stall owner's eyes lit up, and he obviously knew the value of the jade pendant, and he answered.
"This jade pendant is worth nineteen thousand."
Xiao Ye was about to speak, but Ouyang Hao quickly intervened and spoke without hesitation.
"I'll pay 20,000."
Xiao Ye smiled slightly, stepped away silently, and watched Ouyang Hao complete the transaction.
At this time, a servant behind Ouyang Hao cautiously approached him and whispered.
"Master, the money we brought cannot be used anymore."
"The auction will start later. If we can't buy the items the owner wants, I'm afraid we will be blamed."
Ouyang Hao's expression changed slightly. He stared at Xiao Ye's back closely and said through gritted teeth.
"I want to grab another piece from him. I want him to know that he can't win here."
Xiao Ye walked gently to another stall, and this time his attention was attracted by a simple bronze mirror.
He stared at the bronze mirror, seeming to be looking for something.
He turned to the stall owner and asked.
"How much is this bronze mirror worth?"
The stall owner glanced at Xiao Ye, hesitated a little, and finally said.
"This bronze mirror is very rare, worth 20,000 yuan."
Just as Xiao Ye was about to speak, Ouyang Hao quickly intervened and spoke decisively.
"I'll give you 21,000."
The stall owner nodded quickly and handed the bronze mirror to Ouyang Hao.
Xiao Ye just glanced at it lightly, then stretched and said softly.
"Finally all the fakes have been identified."
When the people around him heard this, they suddenly started whispering.
After Ouyang Hao heard this, his face turned pale instantly. He looked at the bronze mirror in his hand in shock, and then looked back at the collections he had bought.
All the items he bought at a high price just now turned out to be fake!
There was a huge wave in his heart, and he glared at Xiao Ye's back, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Ye seemed not to notice the turmoil behind him and continued to wander among the stalls leisurely.
Xiao Ye continued to walk calmly to the stall he had noticed before, and his eyes were fixed on a special agate.
He had long noticed the uniqueness of this piece of agate, but had not inquired about its price before.
He approached the stall owner and asked calmly.
"How much does this piece of agate cost?"
The stall owner looked at Xiao Ye and said confidently.
"This is a very rare red agate, thirty-five thousand."
Xiao Ye smiled softly and began to bargain.
"Ordinary red agate is not that expensive."
"I think this agate is good, but it's only worth twenty thousand."
"You are obviously lying and you don't know how to do it."
The stall owner's expression changed after hearing this, but he seemed a little uncomfortable under Xiao Ye's gaze.
When the onlookers heard these words, they gathered around and showed a strong interest in the agate.
"Do you want to sell it for twenty thousand?"
The stall owner tried to hold on.
"This is the top grade of red agate. Fifteen thousand is too low."
Xiao Ye was unmoved and continued.
"Forget it, I'll go see something else."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Xiao Ye was about to leave, but the stall owner saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly asked to stay.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
"Twenty-five thousand is the lowest. It really can't go any lower."
Xiao Ye stopped and turned around, frowning slightly as if he was thinking about it.
He examined the onyx again, then sighed, as if reluctantly agreeing.
"Okay, twenty-five thousand. Although it's a bit expensive, I really like this agate."
The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to pack the agate.
At this moment, Ouyang Hao approached confidently, ready to buy.
However, his servant quickly stepped forward and whispered to persuade him.
"Master, it has already cost too much, and twenty-five thousand may be that person's limit."
"He certainly doesn't have any more money."
After hearing this, Ouyang Hao showed a proud smile on his face. He turned to Xiao Ye and said mockingly.
"Xiao Ye, if you don't have enough money, you can borrow it from me."
"But if you borrow a thousand dollars, you have to learn how to bark like a dog. How about that?"
