Chapter 65: 【65】Do you want to break the rules? _1
 

The supplier was over the moon when they heard they were willing to buy the stamp.

The stamp had been in their possession for a while, but couldn’t be sold because the profit was indeed not significant.

Unexpectedly, it was finally sold today, which solved a big cash flow problem.

Tang Feng received the stamp as if he had obtained a treasure, examining it over and over without stopping.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yanan couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.

She really didn’t understand what had gotten into this guy.

It was only her first day on the job, and she had already used nearly three million funds, facing such a prodigal son, how could she cope with the days to come?

Actually, Tang Feng was also somewhat anxious at this moment.

Because he had just used the scanning system to detect that the stamp was valued by the system at 4 million.

Although he didn’t know the reason, he still chose to trust the system.

At least so far, the system had never let him down.

Just as a verbal agreement was reached and Qin Yanan was preparing to make the payment, the little man with the mustache suddenly received a phone call.

It was unclear what was said on the other end of the line, but the previously smiling little mustache’s expression suddenly changed.

After hanging up the call, he looked at Qin Yanan with an embarrassed face, “I’m really sorry, but I can’t sell you this stamp.”

Qin Yanan, who was holding her phone ready to transfer money, was taken aback when she heard this, “Why?”

“Cough cough, because this stamp… someone has claimed it, I had forgotten about this matter just now, I’m truly sorry.” The little mustache quickly apologized and then tried to take the stamp back from Tang Feng.

But Tang Feng dodged his hand, staring at him displeased, “Once a price is agreed upon, you can’t go back on your word. Do you want to break the rules?”

He was, in this case, learning and applying on the spot.

He had just learned the rules from Mr. Zhang and immediately applied them.

The little mustache was anxious, yet helpless.

Although the payment had not yet been made, according to the antique trade’s rules once a verbal agreement is reached, it counts as a done deal.

If it were some small vendors, perhaps they could shamelessly go back on the agreement.

But, as suppliers like them, such actions would ruin their reputation.

Zhang Jicheng noticed there was definitely a problem and quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and entered an industry group chat.

He asked in the group, “Any recent news on the Black Queen?”

This group consisted of antiques elites, including experts on jade and porcelain, masters of calligraphy and painting, and of course, many who specialized in stamps and other collectibles.

Seconds after his question, someone gave a response.

“Wow, I didn’t expect Mr. Zhang to be so well-informed. I just got the news too. I didn’t expect you to be one step ahead of me.”

The speaker was named Fan Shiming, a famous stamp collecting master in the Zhonghai Antique Circle with many priceless stamps in his possession.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jicheng knew something must have happened and asked anxiously, “Can you elaborate?”

Fan Shiming quickly sent a lengthy message, “Actually, the matter is quite simple. The Canadian National Museum caught fire, and many of the priceless collections were destroyed, including two Black Queen stamps. There were originally only ten Black Queens in existence, and now only eight remain. The price will definitely skyrocket…”

When Zhang Jicheng received this message, he looked at Tang Feng with an air of astonishment and suspicion.

From the confidence he showed just now, it was obvious that he had received this news beforehand.

This was even more shocking.

Even Fan Shiming, the stamp collecting guru of Zhonghai, had only just received the news.

So, from where had Tang Feng gotten his information?

At that moment, they saw Fan Shiming sent another message, “I am currently looking to buy Black Queen stamps at a fixed price of 4 million each, as many as there are available.”

Zhang Jicheng’s hand trembled, nearly dropping his phone to the ground.

Although he had expected the Black Queen’s price to jump, he hadn’t anticipated such a massive increase.

It meant that his treasured disciple had easily flipped the stamp, earning Ya Garden an extra million plus.

This was nearly equivalent to his monthly performance.

He really didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

Qin Yanan, noticing his unusual expression, hurriedly came over and asked, “Mr. Zhang, what happened?”

Zhang Jicheng handed her the phone.

When Qin Yanan saw the information, she too looked toward Tang Feng in shock, “You… how did you know about this?”

Tang Feng, completely clueless, looked at her, “What news?”

“The news about the Canadian National Museum fire, didn’t you know about it beforehand and thus asked me to buy this stamp?” Now it was Qin Yanan’s turn to be bewildered.

“I had no idea. I just thought the stamp looked pretty good.” Tang Feng truly didn’t know, but he couldn’t say it was thanks to the system, so he had to come up with a clumsy excuse.

Zhang Jicheng and Qin Yanan looked at each other, both completely speechless.

If it wasn’t that he had gotten the news beforehand,

then they could only attribute it to luck.

And it was the kind of incredible luck at that.

Pei Tianyuan, who had been watching the excitement up to this point, had his expression suddenly change upon hearing their conversation.

He was also in that group and immediately checked his phone, his expression turning to one of astonishment.

This meant that he had just missed out on earning over a million by a matter of mere thoughts.

Though one million wasn’t a substantial amount for him,

the fact that someone picked up such a bargain right in front of him was quite embarrassing.

Using the trendy lingo of the moment, the financial loss wasn’t substantial, but the insult was profound.

Looking at Tang Feng, his gaze was filled with complexity.

Tang Feng secured the stamp carefully, reminding Qin Yanan, “Mrs. Nan, don’t be stunned. Hurry up and make the payment.”

“Everyone here is in the business. I trust this gentleman won’t go back on his word, right?”

His last question was addressed to the little mustache.

The little mustache, although filled with regret, could only accept his fate and nodded with a forced smile, “Sigh, such is fate. Let’s do as the young brother says.”

Seeing he had no objections, Qin Yanan made the transfer on the spot.

Before the little mustache left, he didn’t forget to praise Qin Yanan, “With the help of this young man, Mr. Qin is sure to make a fortune. I hope we can keep a long-term cooperation.”

Afterwards, he also left her a phone number.
