After greeting the audience in the livestream room.
Jiang Tao didn’t let them down; he took out the Auspicious Ingot he brought back from his hotown and handed it to Zhang Bo for appraisal.
"Whoa! Good stuff! Brothers, did you see that? This thing is genuinely sothing good!"
"Auspicious Ingot, also known as ’foundry ingot,’ is like a commorative coin from the Qing Dynasty!"
"Currently, Brother Jiang’s Auspicious Ingot is valued at around..."
Due to livestreaming rules, Zhang Bo didn’t directly ntion the price; instead, he tapped a series of numbers on a nearby calculator.
600,000!
This number perfectly matched the value given by the system, not a penny more or less!
Seeing the price Zhang Bo provided, a smile appeared on Jiang Tao’s face.
Of course, the reason for his smile wasn’t because of how much the Auspicious Ingot could sell for, but because he had found a friend worth developing a deep friendship with.
Although Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo have known each other for only a little over two months, less than three, and have t no more than 10 tis,
The two brothers are five to six years apart, not peers.
But they both felt as if they should have t sooner and were sincere with each other, which allowed them to beco good friends.
Upon reaching middle age, people’s focus tends to shift towards relationships with their spouses and families.
They might grow distant from friends they used to hang out with, or even lose touch.
As a result, it’s tough to find genuine friends later on.
This was true for Jiang Tao as well.
As he reached middle age, he preferred to spend more ti and energy with his family.
Although he and Xu Li had lived apart in different places for extended periods due to work,
after work each day, he rarely went to play cards or drink with Wang Zhihao, Shan Yufei, or Zhang Chao.
Instead, he preferred to video chat with Xu Li at his rental place or chat with Jiang Xue.
Zhang Bo and Li Ming aren’t married yet nor have their own families, so their value system places friendships first.
In their interactions, the contributions Jiang Tao made, who valued family more, were far less than those of Zhang Bo and Li Ming, making it unequal.
Even in such circumstances, it’s rare and fortunate for him to have befriended Zhang Bo and Li Ming.
"Wow! 600,000! Such a small thing is worth 600,000; that’s enough to buy a 100-square-ter house in our county!"
"I’ve saved for over ten years, but that’s still not enough to buy a single silver ingot!"
"That’s a windfall! The gate has opened wide!!"
"Jealous!"
"How much did Brother Jiang pay for this Auspicious Ingot? How much profit could he make?"
"Ask Brother Jiang if he’s willing to sell this Auspicious Ingot. I’ll buy it for 600,000!!"
Upon hearing Zhang Bo’s quote for the Auspicious Ingot, the viewers in the livestream room beca excited again.
So were envious, so were jealous, and so showed interest in purchasing, even making offers to buy it.
The followers or viewers in Zhang Bo’s livestream room are mostly fellow enthusiasts of antique collections, among whom are so wealthy individuals.
After following Jiang Tao’s advice to start streaming, he managed to sell over a dozen items in the streaming room, gaining an additional sales channel.
"If anyone is interested, you can DM in the background, and I’ll add you to our appraisal group."
"Let’s talk after the stream; Brother Jiang brought this here today to sell it."
"Brother Jiang also brought sothing else today, but it’s not an antique; it’s sothing quite special."
"It’s a Bitcoin key containing 2 Bitcoins. Those interested can DM for more details."
"Hold on; Brother Jiang has to leave for sothing. I’ll walk him out first."
After saying this to the viewers in the livestream room, Zhang Bo stood up to see Jiang Tao out.
The paynts for the Auspicious Ingot and Bitcoin key were not imdiately transferred to Jiang Tao, as it was considered Jiang Tao’s consignnt at Zhang Bo’s place.
Once these items were sold through his channels, their shop would only charge a small service fee.
Of course, only Jiang Tao enjoyed such treatnt, and others shouldn’t even think about it.
"Drive safely, Brother Jiang; let’s hang out when you have ti."
"Alright, go about your business. See you later."
Jiang Tao waved and smiled at Zhang Bo, then walked briskly toward the parking area.
anwhile, the driver he had booked earlier, Jia Guolin, also called to say he had arrived at the parking lot.
Sure enough, as Jiang Tao approached the parking lot’s entrance, he spotted a familiar figure waiting there from afar.
Jia Guolin!
This man, praised by Brother Tongzi as the "Substitute Saint Body," had a driving skill that was comndable.
Recently, Jiang Tao had specifically sought out Jia Guolin a few tis.
Starting with initial acquaintance, they gradually beca semi-familiar friends.
"Good afternoon, President Jiang!"
Jia Guolin raised his head, saw Jiang Tao, and quickly put on a smile to greet him.
After all, Jiang Tao was his valuable custor, and maintaining respect was necessary.
Last ti, when Jiang Tao hired Jia Guolin to drive for Xu Li and her group back to Beijing from the Jiang Family Manor.
Jiang Tao reimbursed Jia Guolin’s travel costs and covered his food and lodging.
Jiang Tao paid him more than 3,000 just for the driving services.
After safely delivering Xu Li and her group to Beijing and completing the mission, Jiang Tao even sent a separate red packet of 888 to Jia Guolin.
Despite his four or five years as a driver, Jia Guolin had never encountered a client as generous as Jiang Tao, which made him hold Jiang Tao in high regard.
