Chapter 81: [81] This bracelet is worth at least 30 million!
Shen Tianyan concealed his surprised expression, pondered briefly, and finally nodded.
“Since Mr. Tang sincerely wants to buy this bracelet, I will sell it to you. After all, you are doing this to help my wife and me. I am willing to take out three million as a thank you gift. You just transfer me twelve million.”
Tang Feng immediately became elated.
In his account now, he had about twelve million, all things considered.
The fact that the other party took the initiative to lower the price spared him the trouble of borrowing money.
He transferred twelve million to Shen Tianyan right in front of him.
Qin Yanan, seeing that he actually took out twelve million, was shocked once again.
Where did this guy get so much money?
Although she knew that Tang Feng had made some money through opportunistic deals in the past few days,
she estimated that at most it would be one or two million.
She never imagined that he could come up with over ten million all at once.
This really wasn’t the average person’s wealth!
Shen Tianyan was also straightforward. After receiving the transfer, he immediately pushed the wooden box toward him, “Mr. Tang, please check the bracelet. If there’s no problem, then we’ll consider this transaction complete.”
In fact, Tang Feng had already scanned it with the system and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the bracelet.
Still, he played along and opened the wooden box to take out the bracelet inside.
The jade quality of the bracelet was extremely fine, carved with phoenix patterns that looked lifelike, definitely the work of a master.
“Hmm, no problems.”
He only glanced at it twice, then put the bracelet back in the box and stood up to shake hands with Shen Tianyan.
Shen Tianyan exchanged a few more pleasantries with him, set a date to have dinner together later, then left with his wife.
“Tang Feng, what were you thinking? Spending such a high price to buy this bracelet?”
Qin Yanan, not wanting to ask in front of Shen Tianyan and his wife, waited until they left before she found the chance to speak.
“Do you think this bracelet isn’t worth twelve million?”
Tang Feng sat back down, picked up the bracelet again, and scrutinized it, as if admiring an incomparably beautiful woman.
“Even if the bracelet is worth twelve million, there probably isn’t much profit to be made, and it might even be hard to sell right away. Why bother?” Qin Yanan gave him an exasperated look.
“Mrs. Nan, do you think I am the kind of person who likes to suffer losses?” Tang Feng winked at her.
Qin Yanan stared at him for a moment, and then shook her head very confidently, “No.”
Tang Feng immediately rolled his eyes.
Even though she was telling the truth, why did it feel so irritating to hear?
“Since you know I am not the kind to suffer losses, do you think I would make a loss-making deal?” Tang Feng waved the bracelet in front of her eyes.
Qin Yanan suddenly looked stunned, “You mean, this bracelet is worth more than twelve million?”
Tang Feng nodded, “Of course.”
Qin Yanan took the bracelet and examined it closely but couldn’t see why, so she asked, “So, how much is it worth?”
“Take a guess,” Tang Feng teased.
“Fifteen million?” Qin Yanan tried to suggest a number.
“No, guess again,” Tang Feng shook his head.
“Seventeen million?” Qin Yanan tentatively added two million.
“Is that all the ambition you have? Guess bolder,” Tang Feng boldly knocked on her forehead.
“Ow.” Qin Yanan almost burst into tears from the pain and pinched him angrily, “Seventeen million is not correct? You can’t tell me it’s twenty million?”
Seeing her lack of imagination, Tang Feng didn’t want to keep teasing and straightforwardly revealed, “To tell you the truth, this bracelet is worth at least thirty million!”
“What?”
Qin Yanan almost dropped the thirty-million-worth bracelet onto the floor.
Luckily, Tang Feng had quick reflexes and caught it in time.
“You’re not kidding, right? You’re saying this bracelet is worth thirty million?” Although Qin Yanan had great trust in his appraising skills, she still found it unbelievable.
Tang Feng waved his finger at her, “This is no ordinary bracelet; this is a bracelet from the Ming dynasty.”
Qin Yanan rolled her eyes, “Do you think I can’t tell this is a Ming dynasty bracelet? But even if it is, it shouldn’t be worth that much.”
Tang Feng put the bracelet back in the box, “What if I told you that this was an imperial court item, and it was once worn by Empress Ma, would you still think it’s not worth it?”
Qin Yanan’s jaw almost dropped, “What? This bracelet was actually worn by Empress Ma? Are you sure you’re not making this up?”
Tang Feng with a faint smile, “If you don’t believe it, you can look it up in ‘The Veritable Records of the Great Ancestor of Ming Dynasty’ and ‘National Annals’, where there are records about this bracelet. When I say thirty million, I’m even underestimating it. If it’s auctioned off, the price could go even higher.”
Qin Yanan picked up the bracelet again, this time handling it very carefully in her palm, her eyes filled with twinkling stars.
“Empress Ma is one of the women I admire most. I never thought I would have such a wonderful connection with her. This is the charm of antiques.” She flipped the bracelet over and over many times, then suddenly turned to him, “Tang Feng, can you sell me this bracelet?”
Tang Feng immediately felt a bit awkward and touched his nose, “Selling it to you is no problem, but the price…”
He was the kind of person who least liked doing business with friends.
Because talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts the wallet.
It was truly a difficult choice.
Qin Yanan saw his concern and let out a cold huff, “Rest assured, I will buy it at the price of thirty million, and I guarantee I won’t shortchange you a penny.”
Tang Feng then relaxed, “Then there’s no problem.”
“Such a little money-grubber,”
Qin Yanan teased as she saw him almost dive into a pile of money.
“You can call me a money-grubber, but could you not add ‘little’ in the front? I hate it when others call me little. It’s totally slanderous,” Tang Feng protested immediately.
Qin Yanan glanced at a certain spot and said with disdain, “Whether it’s slander can only be known after verification.”
“Do you really want to verify? Then I shall indulge you.”
Tang Feng said, making a motion as if he was about to take off his trousers.
Just then, a waitress happened to push the door open and was stunned by the scene.
Is this how the young people play it so thrilling in a teahouse these days?
