Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire!

124 Picking Up Loot (3)

“Young Master, so you’re here!”

Ye Xuan and Liu Yanran turned around and saw Zheng Jianghao walking towards them with Liu Yun.

When Liu Yun saw Ye Xuan, he immediately apologized. “I’m sorry, Brother Ye. There was really a traffic jam today. We were late.”

He was very respectful and even lowered his head slightly when he spoke, not daring to look into Ye Xuan’s eyes.

He was like a well-mannered underling.

Ye Xuan didn’t mind and smiled. “Why are you so polite? Let’s walk around together.”

Liu Yun deliberately lagged behind Ye Xuan and whispered to him, “Brother Ye, why did you think of coming here today?”

Ye Xuan laughed and said casually, “I’m just here to take a look and see if I can pick up any loots. I also want to see if there are any better jade stones and am prepared to buy one.”

When Liu Yun heard Ye Xuan say that he wanted to pick up loot, he looked helpless.

He did not expect the dignified Brother Ye to believe in picking up loot.

Wasn’t that a method to spread rumors and trick ordinary people into joining the antique collection army?

“Brother Ye, you have to be careful. You have to be 120% careful when you buy anything. Most of the things sold here are fake. There are very few real things.”

Liu Yun was really worried that Ye Xuan would fall for it and persuaded him earnestly.

“You don’t come here often, so you might not know! Twelve out of ten sellers here are liars! The things they sell are even more fake. Even many experts have lost here.”

Liu Yun’s father was also a collector. He had told Liu Yun many things that he had personally experienced and heard about.

After hearing so many stories, Liu Yun only remembered one sentence.

When buying antiques, all sellers were a scam.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and seemed to be interested in this summary. “Oh? Isn’t there anything real?”

Liu Yun chuckled and explained, “Although most of the antique shops have fakes, there are still people who sell real items! However, the bosses who sell real items are thinking about how to cheat you of the money in your pocket!”

It was the same for many famous auction houses. On the one hand, they tricked sellers into paying the fees to appraise the goods. On the other hand, they deliberately raised the price of goods and even arranged to raise the market price.

After hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded and looked at Liu Yun in surprise. “I didn’t expect Young Master Liu to know so much.”

Liu Yun waved his hand humbly and grinned. “I learned a little from my father. It’s just superficial. Brother Ye, if you don’t mind, I’ll bring you to find second-hand treasures later.”

He still had some confidence in his ability to appraise treasures. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to show off in front of Ye Xuan.

It didn’t matter if he embarrassed himself, but losing a big boss like Ye Xuan was the real pain!

Ye Xuan smiled and didn’t comment.

The few of them chatted as they walked forward. They had already passed by many stalls.

Liu Yanran was also constantly observing the items in the stalls. Although she did not recognize most of them, she could sense the information of time accumulated on them.

They were too old.

Many of the items looked rusty.

Liu Yanran subconsciously approached Ye Xuan and whispered into his ear, “How is it, Young Master? Do you see anything real here?”

Ye Xuan shook his head.

These things were too fake. He didn’t even need to specially appraise them. He knew at a glance.

After all, Ye Xuan now had the Golden Eye skill and could tell at a glance. There was no need to spend any effort.

Liu Yun looked at Liu Yanran’s slightly disappointed face and said with a smile, “Director Liu, even if there are good things here, it’s not our turn! You don’t know the situation here. Every morning, there are already experts who sweep these stalls.”

Liu Yanran was obviously unconvinced. “That might not be the case. Perhaps there are times when those experts are blind!”

“It’s possible if one or two experts are blind. However, do you know how many experts come here to glance at the stock every day?”

Liu Yun was describing how those experts would scan through the stalls one by one and screen all the goods.

Even if an item was not bad, it would have been bought long ago.

“Hey, look over there. There seem to be a lot of people around!” Liu Yanran suddenly pointed at a group of people not far away.

Although there were a lot of customers in Jinling Peach Garden, there were many shops, so the people were very scattered.

There were only two or three people standing in front of the stalls with good business, but there were at least dozens of people in the stall standing not far away.

It looked especially eye-catching.

Many pedestrians on the road looked over, their eyes flickering with curiosity.

Ye Xuan and the rest also walked towards the crowd. Before they could squeeze into the crowd, they heard all kinds of praises coming from inside.

“This thing is not ordinary. I think it’s definitely a heavyweight treasure!”

“Didn’t they say that bronze artifacts are not allowed to be sold? Is this old man crazy? He even made such a big fuss!”

“This thing looks too rare. I can’t tell if it’s real or fake even after looking at it for a while, but I don’t dare to casually invite experts to appraise it.”

Hearing the words ‘bronze artifact’, Liu Yun and Ye Xuan exchanged glances.

Was there actually such a rare thing in Jinling Peach Garden?

They were very curious about the things inside, so they squeezed into the crowd and finally arrived at the first row.

The owner of the stall was an old man in his sixties. His entire body was dirty, and he looked like a poor farmer.

The old man hugged the bronze artifact in his arms. His dry, bark-like hands were clamped together tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch his treasure.

He looked warily at the guests in front of him and muttered, “This treasure of mine is not ordinary. It’s not something you can look at just because you want to. Whoever wants to look at it has to pay me first. Otherwise, don’t even think about it!”
