Tomb Raider: Invincible Double Pupil, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 66: The Bargain Hunt, the National Treasure

Mr. Bai was indeed very enthusiastic and not only arranged accommodation for them in a five-star hotel.

They even booked the entire restaurant, and they were the only table of people dining in the entire restaurant.

Looking at the empty and quiet restaurant, Xu Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Bai, fortunately I am a man, otherwise I would really doubt whether you have any intentions towards me."

Mr. Bai was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter: "Brother Xu is really humorous."

"Actually, I just want to avoid outsiders hearing me talking to Brother Xu."

"After all, we are talking about a business worth tens or even hundreds of billions this time."

Lao Hu and Fatty were only focused on eating and turned a deaf ear to what the two were talking about.

Only Yingzi.

She didn't know that Xu Feng came to Demon this time to discuss business with Mr. Bai.

I thought it was just a simple treasure appraisal conference.

But as the conversation between the two deepened.

Yingzi was stunned when she heard this.

It turned out that Xu Feng and Mr. Bai had already reached an agreement.

At this treasure appraisal conference, Xu Feng will be in charge of appraising the treasures, while Mr. Bai's people will be in charge of the actions.

No matter whether it is an ordinary cultural relic or a sacred object, as long as Xu Feng likes it and nods his approval, it will be bought by someone arranged by Mr. Bai.

Finally, the two of them share the profits equally.

No wonder Mr. Bai said it was a business worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.

But Yingzi soon felt that there was a huge loophole in this cooperation.

But she didn't ask at the dinner table.

I endured it until we got back to the hotel and Mr. Bai and the others left.

Yingzi asked, "Brother Xu, there seems to be a big loophole in your cooperation."

Xu Feng looked at the room and replied, "What loophole?"

"Not to mention the profits from ordinary cultural relics, their value can be estimated."

"But how can we be sure of the divine object?"

"After all, no one knows the specific effects of a divine object. In that case, how can we determine the value of a divine object?"

Xu Feng: "No need to be sure, we can just split the magic item we bought in half."

"As for the quality of the divine object, it all depends on everyone's luck."

Only then did Yingzi nod.

Xu Feng looked at the only bed in the room with a headache: "Our biggest problem now is how are we going to rest at night?!"

Mr. Bai only booked three rooms.

Lao Hu had one room, Fatty had one room, and Xu Feng and Yingzi had one room.

Yingzi's pretty face suddenly blushed: "Brother Xu, you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."

Xu Feng sighed: "If I let you sleep on the sofa, am I still a man? Okay, I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room, and you can rest in your room."

"Go to bed early, there will be a treasure appraisal conference tomorrow."

Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.

It is the venue for this treasure appraisal conference.

At around nine o'clock, when Xu Feng and his four companions arrived, the scene was already crowded with people.

After many days of publicity.

This treasure appraisal conference has long been known to everyone.

Attracted attention from all sides.

The entire venue was divided into two parts.

One part is treasure appraisal, and the other part is auction.

All the antiques and cultural relics salvaged from the shipwreck have been appraised by a group of experts and have been issued appraisal certificates. They are now in the auction area.

However, due to the huge number, it is impossible to auction them one by one. Only the finest items can be put on the auction table.

Those antiques that are not of high value are clearly marked with prices and placed in the exhibition area of ​​the auction house.

Let Lao Hu, Fatty and Yingzi move freely.

Xu Feng put on the Bluetooth headset that Bi'an gave him.

A voice from the other side came from inside: "Mr. Xu, can you hear clearly?"

"Yes, very clear."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, all the antiques here will have a number. Just whisper the number and price, and I will send someone to buy them immediately."

"it is good."

He walked to a long table in the exhibition area and began to look at the first antique.

This is a porcelain bowl.

Folk kilns from the Qing Dynasty.

The porcelain of the Qing Dynasty can be said to be the culmination of the entire history of porcelain. It has everything from blue and white porcelain to colored porcelain, with beautiful and smooth lines, simple and elegant shapes, and most of them are practical utensils.

【Item name】：Blue and white bowl

[Item Level]: None

[Item Ability]: None

[Item Description]: Porcelain with a history of 248 years.

The price is 20.

Xu Feng shook his head and just passed it!

The market price of this blue and white bowl is only about RMB 25. The profit is too low, so I gave up.

Take a step forward and look at the second item.

It is a piece of enamel porcelain.

Enamel color began in the late Kangxi period and reached its peak from the Yongzheng period to the Qianlong period.

It evolved from cloisonné, which is made of enamel glaze on a copper base. If it is changed to enamel glaze on a porcelain base, it is called enamel color.

[Item name]: Arhat Cong-style bottle
[Item Level]: None

[Item Ability]: None

[Item Description]: Porcelain with a history of 312 years.

The price is 38.

Xu Feng shook his head again!

The market price of this Cong-style bottle with Arhat pattern is about 40 to 50 yuan. The profit is too low, so I gave up.

I looked at more than a dozen pieces in succession.

Xu Feng gave up.

Suddenly, Xu Feng felt that the person who set the prices for these antiques was an expert.

The prices he set are all lower than the market price, but not too much lower, leaving a certain profit margin for buyers, but not allowing people to get a big bargain.

Such pricing may not attract big buyers like him.

But for those general collectors, it is still very attractive.

This way they can not only ship quickly.

It can also maximize benefits.

Later, Xu Feng looked at more than 30 pieces in succession, which confirmed his idea.

Nearly half an hour had passed at this time.

At this time, a voice from the other side came from the headset: "Mr. Xu, don't you like anything?"

Xu Feng chuckled: "Yes, the person who set the price is an expert."

Bi'an: "It seems that Mr. Xu has very high requirements." Xu Feng: "Of course, if there is no profit, your father would not have to cooperate with me."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, take your time to read it."

Xu Feng could tell that the woman seemed a little doubtful of him, but he didn't care at all.

On the contrary, after looking at more than fifty antiques in a row, his eyes became a little sore.

"Oh, if only the Bodhisattva spirit of Lao Jie was still here, that thing would be like a divine weapon to me."

"I must find a way to get it when I go back this time. Otherwise, every time I search for information, I need to concentrate for more than ten seconds. Not only is it inefficient, but it also makes me tired very easily."

As he thought about it, he looked at the next antique.

This is a natural blue crystal ball.

The crystal is close to a perfect spherical shape with good clarity. It is supported by a gold-dyed copper lotus pedestal with a lotus pod and a Buddha lion on it. It should have come from the snowy area on the border.

The asking price is 16.

【Item name】: Mica crystal
[Item Level]: Low-grade magical instrument
[Item Ability]: Snowfall
[Item Description]: Can control the weather and make snow fall in the designated area.

Oops.

Xu Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there really was a magical object?!
And it can also control the weather.

Make snow fall in designated areas.

Although modern technology has been able to achieve this, in ancient times it could be called a miracle.

In fact, although Xu Feng cooperated with Mr. Gu.

But he just wanted to pick up some ordinary cultural relics and make some money.

He had no hope for divine objects.

Although ordinary people are unaware of the existence of divine objects, many people in the upper class still know about them.

So many antiques.

He didn't believe that the organizers of the treasure appraisal conference would not find someone to identify whether there were any magical objects.

So he felt that these antiques with clearly marked prices could not be any sacred objects.

did not think of……

“Is this a fish that slipped through the net?”

Xu Feng laughed, and then said: "Number 347, crystal ball, divine object."

There was no sound from the other end for a long time, and then a voice came from the other side: "Mr. Xu, are you sure?"

Xu Feng walked towards the next antique: "Are you sure? Hurry up and take it, or someone will rob you of it."

I didn't expect that if I didn't make a move, it would be a magical item.

And it can be purchased for only 16.

It's almost the same as picking it up for free.

Xu Feng even admired himself a little.

Then I worked for more than half an hour.

Picked up a leak.

A silver coin from the United States.

The price tag is 5 yuan.

"Number 581, silver coin, big leak."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

Soon a man in black clothes bought the silver coin.

The second floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center.

Here you can see the entire auction area.

The other side sat in the front row.

Surprisingly, Mr. Gu was also there.

After Bi'an gave the order, Mr. Gu laughed: "How is it? Did I misjudge the person?"

Bi'an shook his head and looked at Xu Feng from a distance with interest: "This person is very interesting."

Mr. Gu: "Have you arranged what I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, father. I have already made arrangements."

"it is good."

I have been revising the outline these two days, so the update is a little slower, but I still guarantee more than 10,000 words per day.

Please forgive me, guys.

In the afternoon.

Lao Hu and the other two came to find Xu Feng.

"How's it going, Master Xu, what's the harvest?"

The fat man asked first.

Xu Feng is identifying a seal. Although the inspection can accurately determine the age, it cannot give a value.

"It's not bad, I can probably make a small profit of 100 million."

He answered casually.

Unexpectedly, the fat man looked disappointed: "Ah? Only this much?"

Xu Feng looked at him in surprise: "How much do you think one has to earn to qualify, Fatty?"

The fat man laughed and said, "Master Xu, you have personally come out and worked hard for most of the day. If you don't make 700 million or 800 million, you are not worthy of your status as Master Xu."

"Get lost! You don't understand shit!"

Xu Feng was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

Lao Hu and Yingzi dispersed and looked at the antiques on display with curiosity.

Of course, they didn’t understand either.

Mainly depends on the price.

For example, Lao Hu pointed at a copper coin and said in shock: "This copper coin is priced at 150 million?!"

Xu Feng glanced over there and said, "That's Taihe Chongbao, a coin from the Song Dynasty. Its collection value is about 160 million to 170 million."

"It's just a copper coin, why?!"

"Haha, so it's worth collecting. How should I put it? Those who understand will understand. No explanation is needed."

The fat man pointed at a bronze mirror and said, "This mirror is also worth 240 million?"

Xu Feng also took a look and said, "That is a mirror with four portraits of gods from the Han Dynasty. It is very precious."

Yingzi also became interested and pointed at something and said, "Brother Xu, where is this pig's head?"

"Pig head?"

Old Hu and Fatty came over and looked at the antique in front of Yingzi. They laughed, "It really is a pig's head. It's so lifelike!"

Xu Feng took a look and said, "That's the pig head among the zodiac animal heads."

"Zodiac animal head?!"

Yingzi looked curious: "Are you talking about the twelve zodiac signs?"

"Yes, the twelve zodiac animal heads are part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall. They are red copper statues from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Later, due to wars, the bronze statues of the animal heads began to be lost overseas."

Xu Feng came over and explained to her, "The twelve zodiac animal heads are national treasures and cannot be bought or sold. In 2007, the gambling king bought back the pig head and donated it to the country. It should be collected by a museum now. This one must be a replica."

then……

Just as he finished speaking, a pig head message suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Item Name]: Chinese Zodiac Pig Head

[Item Level]: Top-grade spiritual weapon
[Item Ability]: Enhance bloodline, suppress national destiny
[Item Description]: Smelted by a great craftsman, it was suppressed in the dragon vein Feng Shui position for a hundred years and became a national treasure.
