The fat man understood, hurriedly took out his mobile phone and transferred 200 yuan to the old lady.
Ye Zhiqiu handed him the knife coin.
Xie Wenwu sarcastically said: "You two are so ignorant, treating fakes as treasures!"
The fat man hummed: "I like it, but does it matter whether it's true or false? Do you have any objections?"
Ye Zhiqiu knelt down and reached out to hold a red bead the size of a thumb. Some are like rubies, and some are like red glass balls.
Xie Wenwu couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "Master Hong?"
Master Hong understood and hurriedly raised the magnifying glass to examine the red bead in Ye Zhiqiu's hand.
After a while, he shook his head and said: "Master, artificial red crystal is worthless at all! It's a street stall product!"
Xie Wenwu mocked: "You even like red crystals, how poor do you have to be?"
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care either. He was still thinking about how to bargain with the old lady. Now he had a suitable excuse: "Old lady, how do you sell this red crystal?"
Mrs. Wang looked confused: "Is this red crystal? My daughter said it's made of glass?"
She suddenly smiled and said: "Since it is crystal, it must be worth a lot of money? Two thousand, maybe!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Old lady, even if it's crystal, it's not worth so much? Five hundred!"
He knew in his heart that no matter how much the seller asked for, the buyer had to bargain, otherwise, it would easily arouse others' suspicion that these things were most likely to be treasures.
Mrs. Wang's income today was more than she had in the previous year. She was very happy and nodded: "Okay, five hundred then!"
Ye Zhiqiu took out five hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to her.
Master Hong squatted on the ground and looked at the items carefully. Suddenly, he picked up a palm-sized Maitreya Buddha statue carved on red agate.
Master Hong was trembling with excitement and looked at Xie Wenwu subconsciously.
Xie Wenwu saw his expression and realized what kind of treasure it might be. He immediately breathed quickly and became nervous all over.
Shen Chaoyang looked over curiously.
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at it and used his clairvoyant eyes to see that the red agate was surrounded by gray without any light. It's just a piece of waste, but this Master Hong is serious about it, as if he has discovered some treasure?
He wouldn't mistake it for southern red agate, right?
Master Hong held the Maitreya Buddha in his hands, his clothes shaking slightly with excitement, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his temples.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but curse, how could such a mentality catch the problem?
"Old man, how much does this agate Buddha statue cost?"
The old lady is a mature woman. One look at Master Hong's expression and she knew that this Maitreya Buddha statue might be very valuable.
She thought for a while and said: "Two hundred thousand!"
Master Hong breathed a long sigh of relief. He was worried that Mrs. Wang would take the opportunity to speak loudly.
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly smiled and said: "Old lady, this Buddha statue is carved from southern red agate. It is not an ordinary agate. You will lose a lot of money for two hundred thousand! South red agate is the most precious kind of agate. This southern red agate Although it’s not quite pure, it’s at least worth a million!”
"One...one million?" Mrs. Wang was so shocked that her eyes widened.
She had never seen so much money in her life.
Master Hong stared at Ye Zhiqiu angrily.
"You? You?" Xie Wenwu pointed at Ye Zhiqiu with a vicious light in his eyes and his whole body was shaking with anger.
Shen Chaoyang looked at Ye Zhiqiu in surprise. When he saw Ye Zhiqiu's expression, he immediately reacted and shouted loudly: "That's Nanhu Agate! It's understandable that you two young people want to pick up the leak, but you can't lie to this old lady like this, right? ?”
"Is it easy for an old lady like this?"
His voice was very loud, and many people around him turned their heads and looked at Master Hong and Xie Wenwu curiously.
Master Hong and Xie Wenwu suddenly turned red and stared fiercely at Shen Chaoyang and Ye Zhiqiu.
Shen Chaoyang shook his head and said, "What are you looking at?"
"Old lady, my buddy knows something about antiques, and what he said is definitely right! You can't sell this piece of southern red agate to them for 200,000 yuan. Even if it doesn't sell for 1 million, it will still cost 950,000 yuan!"
Master Hong and Xie Wenwu were furious.
Mrs. Wang looked excited and a little scared. She looked at the statue in Master Hong's hand, and then turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded: "Old lady, your piece of southern red agate can definitely be sold for eight or nine hundred thousand. If you sell it for too little, you will suffer a big loss!"
"Old man, if you don't feel comfortable holding so much money alone, you'd better let your son or daughter do it."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly took out an elderly mobile phone and called her daughter.
"My daughter will be here in half an hour."
Master Hong thought that once her daughter arrived, it would be more difficult to lower the price, so she hurriedly said: "Old lady, I will give you 800,000, how about it?"
Mrs. Wang looked at Ye Zhiqiu subconsciously.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly: "Eight hundred thousand is enough! Between eight hundred thousand and one million! It is difficult to sell for one million. As long as it is not less than eight hundred thousand, it is not a loss!"
Mrs. Wang was elated: "Then you transfer 800,000 to me, and I'll give you the agate!"
Master Hong hurriedly winked at Xie Wenwu. Xie Wenwu knew that he could not delay, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to transfer the money.
As soon as he put down his cell phone, Mrs. Wang's cell phone rang. It was her daughter asking about the arrival of funds.
Mrs. Wang looked at Ye Zhiqiu proudly: "Daughter, don't worry, I won't be deceived! A young man told me that that piece of agate is worth at least 800,000!"
She put down her phone and looked at Ye Zhiqiu happily.
"Young man, you are such a good person! If I have any good things from now on, I will definitely sell them to you at the cheapest price!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled shyly.
"A good person? Is he still a good person?" Master Hong laughed.
He held up the agate statue in his hand, "The texture of this agate is not pure. There are still many impurities in it, but it can be sold for at least two million. He actually said it was only worth 1.8 million. Didn't he deceive you?" ?”
"Do you still think he is a good person?"
Mrs. Wang looked at Ye Zhiqiu in surprise, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.
Xie Wenwu sneered and said: "Old lady, my Master Hong is absolutely right! This guy named Ye doesn't know how to appraise treasures at all. He doesn't even know which are real antiques. You still listen to him? That's not allowed. Compensate for death?"
At this time, more and more people were watching the excitement around, and they were all talking in low voices.
Mrs. Wang's face gradually darkened and she glared at Ye Zhiqiu angrily. She felt that what Master Hong and Xie Wenwu said might be true.
"This southern red agate statue, if collected for two or three years, will definitely be worth four to five million!"
Master Hong handed the statue to Xie Wenwu with a proud look on his face.
"Master Hong, can you show it to me?"
