80: Chapter 80: Millionaire 80: Chapter 80: Millionaire Miles O’Brien opened with five million, and it seed she left no room for bargaining.
Bryce Harper just glanced at Miles O’Brien, believing in his heart that his relationship with Miles O’Brien should be very close, with both having familial ties from their Clans.
Therefore, Miles O’Brien shouldn’t let him suffer a loss, but now she had suddenly increased the price by one million five hundred thousand, bringing the value of this landscape ornant to five million.
Of course, even at a value of five million, the landscape ornant still had great potential for appreciation; he could still make a profit.
“Girls making their own way out there,” Bryce Harper suddenly sighed.
At this point, if he couldn’t see the relationship between Yusuf Zuck and Miles O’Brien, he would be a fool, so after examining the ornant a few more tis, he then said, “Deal.”
“Hehe, Yusuf, bring out the third item.” Miles O’Brien chuckled, she couldn’t let Yusuf suffer a loss.
It should be sold for exactly what it’s worth.
Yusuf, still in a daze, pulled out another piece of jade, in the shape of a peach.
By now, the trio of Miles O’Brien were no longer surprised by the jade items Yusuf produced.
After carefully inspecting this peach-shaped piece, both Mr.
Liu and Mr.
Harper refrained from making an offer.
Nonetheless, they both nodded in agreent, ntioning sothing about ice-like translucency and that it was indeed a rare and quality jade.
“This peach-shaped pendant should be priced at six hundred and sixty-six thousand, a smooth and fortunate number.
Uncle Harper, why don’t you take it?” Miles O’Brien egged on.
“I’ll take it for three hundred and sixty thousand, but for sixty-six thousand, I can sell it on your behalf!” This ti, Bryce Harper shook his head imdiately; he wouldn’t engage in any shoddy deals.
“Deal!” Yusuf on the side didn’t even think about it and directly agreed to the transaction.
Right now, as long as he could sell the jade, any amount would do; anyways, it was a huge profit.
“You might be at a loss this way, this peach-shaped pendant is truly worth six hundred and sixty-six thousand,” Bryce Harper said curiously, looking at Yusuf.
“No matter, would you believe if I told you that for all the jade I didn’t spend more than forty thousand yuan?” replied Yusuf, taking out two more items, the last of the lot.
One of them included a garlic jar, and another was a jade bottle about the size of a thumb, similar in size to a small bottle of nitroglycerin pills.
“Huh?” When the jade bottle was presented, the eyes of Miles O’Brien and the others imdiately lit up because just by looking at it, the jade bottle was reflecting light, signaling a very high grade.
“Good stuff,” said Miles O’Brien after holding and inspecting it, taking a deep breath, “An Ancient Jade dicine bottle of imperial green, likely carried by nobility and high-ranking officials.”
“It’s actually erald.
Yusuf, are you seriously telling you found this at a street stall?
And that you have a hundred percent success rate in treasure hunting?” Mr.
Liu was incredulous, and Bryce Harper shook his head faintly.
If Yusuf were to say that he had found these at a street stall, Bryce Harper would have been on the verge of losing his temper with him.
Now, he suspected it was so collector who had entrusted Yusuf with appraising the jade, otherwise, even as an old hand at playing with jade, it would have been utterly impossible for Yusuf to always strike gold.
“Don’t worry about where it ca from.
Who wants this bottle?” Miles O’Brien signaled Yusuf with her eyes, telling him not to speak because at this point whatever he said would not be believed by the two uncles.
“While the bottle is fine, it’s impossible to value.
First, it’s too small; second, to use imperial green to make such a bottle is a waste of heaven’s gifts.
If we price it too low, it would not do justice to the jade’s intrinsic value, but if we set it too high, it’s really just…” Mr.
Liu shook his head.
Such a small bottle, although crafted from Ancient Jade and even of imperial green, was just too small.
It would be a pity to destroy it, but without destroying it, this tiny bottle was unlikely to attract any collectors.
“Then we’ll hold onto it for now.
This must have been used for holding dicine.
Soone might want it later,” said Miles O’Brien as she passed the small bottle back to Yusuf and then turned her attention to the garlic jar.
“This is a pill smasher, used for crushing herbal dicine, but the patina is not very good, not shiny, and it’s stained with the dark brown of the herbs.
We won’t sell this item,” Miles O’Brien said with a smile as she took the garlic jar back.
At that mont, as Yusuf received the garlic jar, he furrowed his brow and said, “If I’m not mistaken, this garlic jar and the dicine bottle are made from the sa type of jade.
Maybe you should take another careful look?”
“The sa jade, emperor green?” The three of them were shocked, a small dicine bottle was only the size of a thumb, but the garlic jar was very large, if it was destroyed, it could ruin three or four bracelets and jade pendants.
“I’ll go get the sandpaper,” Miles O’Brien imdiately got up to fetch the sandpaper, while the shop owner Liu and Bryce Harper also curiously picked up the garlic jar and looked it over, but they just couldn’t see the emperor green.
It was pitch black on the outside, invisible to the naked eye.
“How do you know it’s the sa green as the dicine bottle?” Bryce Harper asked curiously.
“It should be, wait for Louise Garrett to co back,” Yusuf Zuck couldn’t tell them he saw it with telekinesis, so he just shook his head without saying anything.
Soon, Miles O’Brien brought back the sandpaper and took over the garlic jar to start sanding again.
About a minute later, Miles O’Brien had sanded an area the size of a ping-pong ball, and through the gap, the translucent erald unveiled itself before the three’s eyes.
All three were dumbfounded, speechless at the sight of the ping-pong ball-sized erald.
“Thirty million, I’ll take it!” Shop owner Liu suddenly made his move, snatching the garlic jar directly from Miles O’Brien’s hands.
“Thirty-three million, Old Liu, don’t fight for this.
If I handle it, I can make four bracelets, at least ten pairs of earrings!” Bryce Harper’s hands trembled slightly.
Such a large piece of emperor green was actually a mortar, but in Yusuf Zuck’s eyes, it was just a garlic jar.
“Uncles, we are not selling this,” Miles O’Brien shook her head.
“No amount of money will change our mind.”
“You don’t have the final say, Yusuf Zuck, my offer is thirty-five million, will you sell it to ?” Shop owner Liu simply wouldn’t let go.
Yusuf Zuck felt a little embarrassed, wondering why Miles O’Brien wouldn’t sell it.
So he looked at Miles O’Brien, his eyes questioning her reason.
Without answering Yusuf Zuck, Miles O’Brien pondered and then said, “Uncles, you know emperor green is getting rarer and rarer, not even one piece appears in several years.
If this garlic jar is handled well, a batch of high-grade emperor green jade could be produced.
As you know, ‘gold has a price but jade is priceless,’ this garlic jar is now priceless!”
“Then I must buy it,” Shop owner Liu resorted to being shaless.
“Forty million, not a penny less,” Miles O’Brien wasn’t unwilling to sell, but she was actually raising the price!
Shop owner Liu’s expression changed unpredictably, and Bryce Harper also took out his own lighter, lighting it for himself.
Both were calculating how much product they could get from the garlic jar and how much money it would ultimately bring.
“Louise Garrett, let’s settle for thirty-five million, not forty million,” said Yusuf Zuck at this point.
He was a big spender, and his heart was thumping wildly.
In just such a short while, he had beco a multimillionaire.
So he was content and felt the need to let these two uncles make so profit as well—after all, it was like making two friends in the capital.
This guy was crafty; he didn’t want a one-ti deal with these two major business moguls!
“Uh…” And hearing his words, Miles O’Brien was stunned for a mont, and both Frank Harper and Shop owner Liu were also montarily taken aback.
This Yusuf Zuck, quite interesting!
