1043 These Two Idiots Didn’t Pick Up the Money

After Ye Feng heard the price, he was also tempted.

He knew the price of this jade very well. If he accepted it at 400 million, he could make nearly 200 million if he resold it.

Moreover, this Boss Jia was indeed very charismatic. He could not help but feel pity for him and wanted to help.

Just as he decided to buy the green jade high foot lamp, someone in the crowd suddenly said, “Boss Jia, can you lower the price a little? 400 million is still a little high.”

Ye Feng thought that this Boss Jia would reject him without hesitation. After all, even if this treasure was sold for 400 million, it was already considered a shockingly low price. How could it be lower?

However, to his surprise, Jia Daizhen hesitated for a moment and finally asked, “How much can you offer?”

The person who spoke just now walked out from the crowd. He was a fat man in his forties. He wore a Buddhist prayer bead around his neck, a bracelet on his wrist, and two walnuts in his hand. It was obvious that he was very knowledgeable about antiques.

He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he lay in front of the table and stared at the green jade lamp for a long time. A trace of joy flashed across his face before he looked up at Jia Daizhen.

“I can’t afford this much money alone. I plan to raise money with everyone to buy this thing. The best we can come up with is… 300 million.”

After saying that, he looked at Jia Daizhen with antic.i.p.ation.

“300 million? This won’t do. My treasure is worth at least 500 to 600 million. How can 300 million be enough? No, no, no…” When Jia Daizhen heard Fatty’s bid, he immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

The fatty had an expression that said that he was certain that he would win. He looked at him with a smile. “Isn’t that the market price you mentioned? But you are in urgent need of money now. How can you sell it without lowering the price? If you’re not in a hurry, you can sell it slowly.”

The crowd also chimed in.

“That’s right. Since you’re in a hurry to use the money, you have to sell it at a low price. 300 million can’t be more.”

“300 million is not a small amount. At least it can solve your urgent needs.”

“300 million. If we all pool together, we might be able to get it. If it’s more, we won’t be able to.”

“Don’t hesitate. If you hesitate any longer, we won’t buy it.”

Everyone put pressure on Jia Daizhen.

Jia Daizhen looked at everyone helplessly. “300 million is really too little. Can you guys add more?”

However, everyone was already united and shook their heads in unison.

Jia Daizhen gritted his teeth and finally nodded. “Alright, 300 million it is. I’m in a hurry.”

When everyone heard him agree, they were instantly overjoyed.

The fatty immediately called out to everyone, “Everyone, come and pool the money together. When the time comes, we’ll sell it and split the money according to everyone’s investment ratio.”

Immediately, there were many people who wanted to invest in the company.

This was a business that would definitely make a profit. A treasure worth 600 million could be bought at half the price, and the investment would immediately double.

Many people didn’t bring that much money with them, so they called their relatives and friends to raise money.

At the same time, there was an endless stream of people rushing over from all directions, wanting to join in.

The fat man took the initiative to take on the role of the organizer. While everyone was gathering money, he went to the nearby printing shop and printed a thick stack of contracts.

“In order to prevent disputes, let’s all sign a contract. How much each person will contribute must be written clearly.”

Hearing his words, those who were still hesitating no longer had any doubts and joined the army.

Chen Xuan was frightened by the madness of these people. She tried her best to hide in Ye Feng’s embrace.

The fatty was in charge of distributing the contract to everyone, and he quickly sent it to Ye Feng. “Little brother, how much do you plan to invest?”

Ye Feng had a faint smile on his face. “That bit of money I have is not enough to waste a contract, I won’t get involved.”

That fatty was obviously stunned for a moment. The others were all scrambling to sign up, afraid that they would not be able to get a share of the pie. This guy actually rejected it?

However, he was only stunned for a moment and did not force it. There were so many people here. Was he afraid that no one would want the contract?

He immediately turned to look at Chen Xuan. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes before he revealed a simple and honest smile. “Miss, how much do you plan to invest?”

Chen Xuan looked at Ye Feng and shook her head. “I don’t have money, I won’t partic.i.p.ate.”

The fat man’s face twitched and he muttered softly, “We are not a family, so we don’t enter the same family. These two idiots don’t even pick up money.”

He immediately ignored the two of them and went to distribute the contracts to the others.

Among the onlookers, only Ye Feng and Chen Xuan were exceptions. The others were all actively fighting for the contract.

Chen Xuan turned to look at Ye Feng. “Why don’t you join in? This is a profitable business.”

In fact, she was a little tempted at first. After all, it was a business that would definitely make a profit. She could at least earn a few million.

But when she saw that Ye Feng did not want to partic.i.p.ate, she could only reject him.

Ye Feng smiled lightly. “You are not short of money. Why are you blindly joining in?”

Although he said so, based on Chen Xuan’s understanding of him, he was not the kind of fool who would not earn money. Could there be something fishy about this?

She leaned against Ye Feng’s ear and asked softly, “Is this antique fake?”

“It’s real.” Ye Feng was still smiling.

“Then why?” Chen Xuan was even more confused now. Since the thing was real, why didn’t he partic.i.p.ate?

Ye Feng did not explain further. He only glanced at Boss Jia, and the smile on his face became more playful.

In just a short while, the money had almost been gathered.

The largest investment was more than 10 million, and the smallest was a few million.

There were also a few who came late and wanted to partic.i.p.ate, but the fatty shook his head and refused. “300 million is enough. There are no more slots.”

The few of them immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they had missed such a good opportunity.

Seeing the expressions of these people, those who had partic.i.p.ated in the investment became even more proud. Fortunately, they had joined early, or they would have missed this opportunity to pick up money.

In the end, everyone transferred all the funds into the fatty’s account and he traded on behalf of everyone.

The fatty handed the bank card to Jia Daizhen. “Boss Jia, we have enough money. Can you give us the item?”
