Chapter 29 Thousand-fold Profit

“Wait a minute—”

When Gao Dongxu was calculating in his mind how to profit from both the Five Veins and Old Chaofeng, his backpack was grabbed by someone and a woman's cold voice came to his ears.

Gao Dongxu frowned and turned to look at Huang Yanyan who had caught up with him. He asked in a cold tone, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Can you give me that fish-ear furnace? I'll pay a high price--" As the heir of the Huang family, she was raised under protection since she was a child. Although she did not grow up to be unreasonable, overbearing and unreasonable like a young lady, she was a very proud person, especially one who would not admit defeat.

Seeing Gao Dongxu's indifferent attitude towards her made her feel very unhappy. After all, regardless of her family background, her beauty would never make her be ignored by a man like this.

"No sale." Gao Dongxu refused directly and turned to leave. He did not only want to catch Huang Yanyan, but more importantly, he had not yet absorbed the spiritual energy from the fish ear furnace.

"Don't go—" Huang Yanyan immediately walked around quickly, blocking Gao Dongxu's way. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her beautiful eyes stared sharply at the indifferent Gao Dongxu. She opened her red lips and said, "You bought it for 200, I'll give you 20,000—"

"..." Gao Dongxu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile, and looked at Huang Yanyan with teasing eyes, as if saying, what the hell do you want.

"You—" Huang Yanyan blushed in embarrassment when she saw Gao Dongxu's mocking and teasing look. Knowing that her attempt had become a joke, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Handsome boy, let's not talk about whether to sell it or not. Can you let me take a look first?"

"Okay, move over--" Gao Dongxu smiled and walked a few steps to an empty corner, then opened his backpack, took out the fish ear stove, and handed it to Huang Yanyan, whose beautiful eyes lit up.

Gao Dongxu was fishing. Since the fish had been hooked, the next step was to naturally play with the fish in a moderately tight and loose manner.

"It's really an imitation..."

Huang Yanyan held the incense burner with sharp eyes, carefully examining every detail, especially the bottom pattern. Finally, she murmured with a slightly disappointed tone. However, her beautiful eyes accidentally glanced at Gao Dongxu, wanting to see his reaction.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed. Gao Dongxu didn't care about the results of her appraisal at all.

"This is an old imitation, not a Xuande..."

"Really? It doesn't matter. The main thing is that I like it." Although Gao Dongxu couldn't accurately determine the age, no one could identify the authenticity as accurately as he did. He smiled and reached out to take the fish ear stove, and put it back into his backpack under Huang Yanyan's anxious gaze.

"Handsome, don't worry. Although it's an old replica, it's from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. I'll give you 5 yuan, so just give it to me. My grandfather has a birthday next week, and as his granddaughter, I want to buy him an antique he likes as a birthday present. Can you help me out, okay?"

Huang Yanyan, who had always been cool and elegant, had a big reversal, showing a weak, cute and coquettish side.

Looking at Huang Yanyan blinking her big eyes and pleading pitifully, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, I didn't expect Miss Huang to have such a cute side."

"You—" Huang Yanyan's pretty face flushed with shame when her identity was revealed. Her expression changed immediately, and she glared at Gao Dongxu fiercely, looking angry and embarrassed. With her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, she said in a cold voice: "You know me? Are you also from the Five Veins?"

"I'm not from the Five Meridians. I know you because I've been to Ruixiangfeng and seen you there." Gao Dongxu zipped up his backpack, put it on his back, and said with a smile, "Okay, you've seen the stuff. I don't want to sell it for the time being, so we'll meet again later." "You can't leave—" Huang Yanyan immediately stood in front of Gao Dongxu, arms outstretched, glaring at him with a frosty expression, and said angrily, "So, you've been teasing me from the beginning?"

Gao Dongxu spread his hands innocently and said, "I'm not teasing you. It's you who's chasing me, isn't it?"

"You—" Huang Yanyan blushed again in embarrassment, her beautiful eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth as she began to act like a spoiled child. "I don't care. Since you know I'm from the Huang family and you're still bullying me, you're looking down on the Huang family. I want to fight you, and the stakes are that fish ear stove—"

Antiques duels are essentially a battle of words, a competition of knowledge. A person is presented with a fake antique and asked to point out its flaws. If the other person can't, they win the duel, and the other loses. There's usually a prize involved. To put it bluntly, it's a competition of antique collecting expertise.

When the Five Clans came to Beijing, they relied on their eloquence to overpower their peers in Liulichang, and only then were they able to gain a firm foothold in the capital and even own the Mingyan Plum Blossom Courtyard.

Gao Dongxu rolled his eyes. How could he possibly agree to use Huang Yan's pipe mouth to date antiques, find flaws, and use knowledge to prove their authenticity? These required systematic learning, a lot of experience and knowledge reserves. He, who relied on cheats, would have to be stupid to agree to this.

"Sorry, I refuse." Gao Dongxu walked around Huang Yanyan expressionlessly and prepared to leave.

"Stop right there, don't leave--" Huang Yanyan became even more angry when she saw that Gao Dongxu refused to accept the challenge. She thought that he looked down on her, and looking down on her meant looking down on the Huang family. How could she, who valued family honor more than anything else, let Gao Dongxu go easily? She reached out and grabbed Gao Dongxu's backpack and pulled it back hard.

The strength is pretty good.

Gao Dongxu, who was being held back, took a step back, turned around and looked at Huang Yanyan expressionlessly and said, "Miss Huang, I hope you won't be so unreasonable. I definitely won't sell it to you now. If you really want it, contact me in three days. However, the price is 20!"

"You - why don't you just go and rob it -" Huang Yanyan originally felt a little proud and secretly happy when she heard that Gao Dongxu was willing to sell it to her in three days, but at the same time she felt a little ashamed and apologetic. She didn't know how to back down, and then she heard the price, and she completely stood up like a kitten.

"Haha, you don't have to buy it, right?" Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

Looking at the two dimples on Gao Dongxu's face and his ruffian look, Huang Yanyan almost got hurt. She knew that Gao Dongxu's asking price was not too high. Although the fish-ear stove was an old imitation from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, its value was still very high. If it was sent to an auction house, the starting price would be at least 20, and it could be sold at any price in the end.

"It's too expensive. I bought it for 200 yuan and you sold it for 200,000. That's too unfair..." Huang Yanyan was cheating again and was being unreasonable.

When Gao Dongxu heard that she had started to talk nonsense, he thought that they were all antique dealers. Picking up bargains depended on their skills, and selling them at sky-high prices also depended on their skills. There was no question of whether they were unscrupulous or not. There was a saying in the antique business, "If you don't open for business for three years, you can make a living for three years after you open." This was no joke. That's why he said that Huang Yanyan was not talking nonsense and looked at her as if she were an idiot until Huang Yanyan's pretty face turned red with shame and she gave up in shame and anger.

"Ahem, handsome guy, can you make it cheaper? 20 is really too high..."

Watching Huang Yanyan's expression change as quickly as turning the pages of a book, Gao Dongxu laughed and shook his head, saying, "Let me put it this way. I'm planning to open an antique shop here, and these are the items I'll need to fill the shelves when I open the shop. 20 is already considering you're Huang Yanyan. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have made a move without 30."
