Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire! - Chapter 395
395 Invitation
The boss was still a little stunned. He originally thought that he would have to bargain or not be able to sell it. He did not expect someone to pay directly.
For example, one wanted to sell a pair of shoes. The cost of the shoes was 10 yuan, but the list price was 100 yuan. One would think that if the customer bargained later, they would sell the shoes to them for at least 20 yuan. That way, they would still earn 10 yuan.
In the end, as soon as he offered a price of 100 yuan, the other party directly paid for it.
He didn’t use all the words he had prepared in his heart and suddenly felt a little lost.
The boss was in this state now. His heart was empty as he looked at the bank card in his hand in confusion.
!!
“Do… Do you really want to buy it?”
“That’s right. I’ve already given you the card. Hurry up and swipe the card. Don’t just stand there.”
When the boss heard Ye Xuan confirm that he wanted to buy it, he took out the credit card machine in a daze and pressed 100,000 yuan. Then, he swiped his card and asked Ye Xuan to enter the password. Then, the invoice popped up.
Looking at the successful payment on the screen of the credit card machine and the message from the bank, the boss felt that it was real.
A genuine smile appeared on his face at a visible speed.
However, at the same time, he felt a little regretful and greedy. If he had known earlier, he would have offered a higher price.
At this moment, when the surrounding crowd saw that Ye Xuan had really paid, they were all surprised. They thought that he was just joking, but they didn’t expect him to be serious. Moreover, he offered 100,000 yuan at once.
However, apart from being surprised, they also revealed looks of pity.
“Sigh, what a rich fool. He threw 100,000 yuan just like that. It’s more worth it to buy other antiques than this calligraphy piece.”
“That’s right. This calligraphy piece is indeed worthless. There’s no signature, and we don’t know how many years it’s been around for. Boss, did you said that it’s been around for a thousand years. Has it really been around for a thousand years? Right, it’s such a loss.”
“How silly. A hundred thousand yuan is enough to buy a piece of porcelain with a very high collection value. Moreover, it can increase in value. It’s better than this calligraphy piece.”
“It makes my heart ache. A child is a child. They spend money recklessly.”
When the fat young man saw that Ye Xuan had really paid, he was slightly surprised, but he quickly recovered his expression as if he was looking at a fool.
He said disdainfully, “Go back and cry. Let’s see if your parents won’t beat you to death. You’re really a fool. Even I find such a calligraphy piece expensive if it’s sold for 500 yuan.”
…
Ye Xuan pricked up his ears and listened to the mockery and pity of the listeners. He pursed his lips and smiled. He spread out the piece of calligraphy and spoke calmly.
Everyone’s hearts tightened. They looked at each other, not knowing what this meant.
The fatty also revealed a puzzled expression and curled his lips.
“What do you mean by the first and second layer? Aren’t the words on the paper? What is this child talking about?”
Just as everyone was puzzled.
At this moment, the fathers of Zhou Bing and the fatty, who were cultural relic experts, couldn’t help but walk over when they saw how lively this place was. They wanted to see what kind of cultural relic was so eye-catching.
“What’s wrong? What cultural relic is so lively?”
Seeing that the cultural relics experts had arrived, everyone told them everything Ye Xuan had said, hoping that the two experts would be able to clear their doubts.
When the two of them heard everyone’s words, they picked up the calligraphy piece and looked at it. However, they were at a loss.
They said in unison, “Hiss, this calligraphy piece is indeed not worth a hundred thousand yuan!”
Then, they looked at Ye Xuan in confusion.
Ye Xuan didn’t say anything else. He smiled and spoke to the two experts.
“I’ll have to trouble the two of you to bring some tweezers and extremely thin blades. I’ll explain to everyone.”
“This…”
The two experts looked at each other and thought for a moment. They did not refuse and turned around to go to their workplace to get some tools.
They vaguely sensed something in their minds.
“Little kid, are you going to…”
Ye Xuan took the tools and smiled.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
As he spoke, he picked up the blade and gently fiddled with the paper. The surrounding people were puzzled and started discussing among themselves.
“What’s this kid doing?”
“Could there be some mystery in this calligraphy piece?”
“I heard him say something about the first and second layers. Could it be…”
“F*ck, it’s open! It’s open!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Ye Xuan had already opened a corner of the paper with the blade.
Then, he held the tweezers and gently pulled at the separated corners. As he pulled, he poured some lubricant into the paper.
The two experts were also dumbfounded. They did not expect there to be another layer. What surprised them even more was how this seven or eight-year-old child discovered this.
Just as they were thinking about it, Ye Xuan had already separated the paper. The first layer were the originally worthless words.
Meanwhile, the bottom layer was Wang Xizhi’s authentic work!!
Seeing this scene, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
“Words within words! Paintings within paintings!”
“It’s Wang Xizhi’s authentic work! Oh my god!”
“How much does this cost?!”
“Where did this child come from? How did he know that these words were written on two layers?”
“It’s too terrifying. If I had known, I would have bought it!”
“Come on, you didn’t believe anyone at first. Do you believe me now?”
…
When the two experts saw this scene, although they were already mentally prepared, when they saw Wang Xizhi’s authentic work, their minds could not help but tighten. This piece of calligraphy was worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions!!
The fatty was also dumbfounded. There was no color on his face, and his lips were trembling slightly. He looked at Wang Xizhi’s real work in disbelief.
Meanwhile, when Zhou Bing saw this scene, the regret in her heart was even more serious. If not for the fatty’s mouth, she would have bought this calligraphy piece. It was Wang Xizhi’s authentic work!
It was worth hundreds of millions. What kind of weight was this?!
Thinking of this encounter, Zhou Bing’s face flushed red as she roared at the fatty.
“Don’t contact me in the future! I’ve blacklisted you!”
Then, she left angrily.
“Xiao… Xiao Bing, I…”
The fatty widened his eyes in a daze. He wanted to try and save the situation, but when he thought of his actions just now, his eyes immediately darkened.
He knew very well that this time, there was probably no way to salvage the situation. After realizing this, the fatty was like a deflated balloon as he collapsed to the ground. His eyes were dazed, as if he was stupid.
Meanwhile…
The two experts had already regained their senses and completely realized how sharp Ye Xuan’s judgment was.
Then, they walked up and invited Ye Xuan with a smile.
“Um, little kid, what’s your name? Are you interested in joining our Appraisal Association?”
“There’s a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan. For every authentic piece that is successfully appraised, you can also get a 3% commission from it. For example, after appraising Wang Xizhi’s authentic work, you will become rich overnight!”
“Furthermore, there’s paid leave every year. Other than cultural relic exchanges like this, we’re not especially busy. It’s very fun.”
