353 Only 50 Million? Is It That Cheap?


“Golden enamel smoke pot, a treasure from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It was used by Emperor Qianlong. The price is 50 million+…”


When Ye Feng mentioned a snuff bottle on the shelf, his voice could not help but tremble.


He thought that there was a system error.


Then, he carefully checked the information given by the system.


That was right, it was the snuff bottle used by Qianlong.


The system gave an estimated price of 50 million+.


Generally speaking, the system’s valuation was on the low side.


It was often much lower than the market price.


Now, even the system gave an estimated value of 50 million+.


Then the actual value of this snuff bottle would only be higher.


Ye Feng found it hard to believe.


There was actually such a treasure in Maple Leaf Pavilion?


The snuff bottle had a European-style painting of a lady, and the craftsmanship was very exquisite.


It made people unable to help but be addicted to it.


When Sun Shouyi heard the price he set, he immediately started laughing.


“You’re wrong this time. This is just a modern replica. I bought it for more than 1,000 yuan.”


Although he was already very impressed by Ye Feng’s eyesight…


Hearing that he made a mistake, Old Man Sun was still happy.


He could finally dampen this kid’s spirit.


Lin Qianqian, who was standing at the side, also felt awkward for the main character.


After all, this snuff bottle was personally collected by Manager Sun.


He would definitely understand it better than him.


Ye Feng glanced at Sun Shouyi. “Why do you think that this is an imitation? Do you have any evidence?”


Sun Shouyi immediately spoke with confidence.


“First of all, the most commonly seen in the market now are copper snuff bottles. Each of them is a national treasure. How could they appear in Zhonghai?”


Saying so, he glanced at Ye Feng.


He saw that he was listening attentively and had no intention of interrupting him.


He couldn’t help but nod in his heart.


At least this young man’s learning att.i.tude was worthy of recognition.


“Secondly, the craftsmanship of this snuff bottle is too perfect. It doesn’t seem to be handmade at all. It’s more like it was made by a machine…”


Saying so, he glanced at Ye Feng.


Seeing that he still did not express any different opinions.


He was probably already convinced by his wisdom, right?


“Thirdly, the person who sold this snuff bottle was an old man who collected waste. He said that this snuff bottle was picked up from a garbage dump. If it’s really a priceless treasure, why would it be thrown into the trash can by its master…”


Old Man Sun gave a few pieces of evidence to support his point of view.


After saying that, he looked at Ye Feng proudly.


He seemed to be saying…


How is it? Are you convinced?


Lin Qianqian listened carefully while taking notes.


Manager Sun was obviously an expert.


She had to learn modestly.


Only then did Ye Feng speak slowly: “What you said is not enough evidence.”


“This is not enough to be evidence…”


Sun Shouyi immediately wanted to retort.


But he was interrupted by Ye Feng.


“Although snuff bottles with golden bodies are rare and the probability of them appearing in Zhonghai is very low, it is not entirely impossible. As for the craftsmanship you mentioned, look at this snuff bottle. Whether it’s the texture, the shape, or the painting, it has obvious characteristics of the middle Qing Dynasty…”


He patiently and meticulously explained to Sun Shouyi.


However, Sun Shouyi was extremely stubborn and insisted on his own opinion.


“This is a replica. I’ve been in the antique industry for more than half my life. I can’t be wrong about this.”


He seemed to be saying:


When I was playing with antiques, you were still wearing open-crotch pants.


You still want to teach me a lesson?


Ye Feng could not explain it to him. He was too lazy to waste his breath.


“Anyway, the price of this snuff bottle is 50 million yuan. Not a single cent less.”


With that, he walked toward the storeroom.


He didn’t give Old Man Sun a chance to argue at all.


Lin Qianqian smiled apologetically at Sun Shouyi. “Manager Sun, this is his temper. Please don’t take it to heart.”


Then, she quickly chased after him.


Old Man Sun was so angry that his face turned ashen.


“Ignorant brat, you’re going to ruin Maple Leaf Pavilion’s reputation. You want to sell an imitation for 50 million? Only a fool would fall for this trick.”


The other shop a.s.sistants saw that the new boss and the old store manager were in such a bad mood.


They all hid far away, afraid that they would be implicated.


In fact, they still secretly supported the old store manager.


This new boss was obviously an unreliable second-generation heir.


What did he know about antiques?


Just as Sun Shouyi was fl.u.s.tered and exasperated…


Suddenly, an old man walked in from outside the door. “Old Sun, are there any new goods recently?”


When Sun Shouyi saw the old man, he hurriedly walked up to him. “Isn’t this Old Shen? What brings you here?”


It was Shen Guanlin.


He could be considered a regular at Maple Leaf Pavilion.


He often came here to buy some old things.


After a while, he became friends with Sun Shouyi.


At a glance, he could tell that his old friend’s expression was not quite right.


“Old Sun, did something happen?”


Sun Shouyi let out a long sigh. “It’s all because of this snuff bottle. Our new boss… Sigh, it’s fine not to say.”


Shen Guanlin became even more curious when he heard him hesitate.


He turned to look at the snuff bottle on the shelf.


His eyes lit up.


He quickly walked forward and checked carefully.


The more he looked, the more shocked he became.


“Good stuff, definitely good stuff…”


Sun Shouyi saw that he seemed to be very interested in this snuff bottle.


He really didn’t want his old friend to suffer.


“Old Shen, do you want to take a look at the other items? I have a lot of new goods here…”


Shen Guanlin immediately interrupted him/ “Old Sun, I want this snuff bottle. Name your price.”


Sun Shouyi’s eyes instantly widened. “Old Shen, shouldn’t you reconsider? This snuff bottle…”


Shen Guanlin could not suppress the joy in his heart.


“I’ve always wanted to collect a snuff bottle, but I’ve never been able to find one I like. I finally encountered a top-grade one today. It’s simply a pleasant surprise. Hurry up and name your price.”


Sun Shouyi was helpless and could only give a price. “The price of this snuff bottle is… 50 million yuan.”


After saying that, he wished he could find a hole to hide in.


A replica for 50 million.


This was simply a scam.


He thought that…


After hearing the price, Shen Guanlin would leave angrily and never come back.


However, he never expected this.


Shen Guanlin was stunned after hearing the price.


His tone was filled with disbelief.


“Only 50 million? Is it that cheap? There won’t be any flaws, right?”
