Chapter 237 Sorry, this has been quite an eye-opener for everyone!!
"Okay, how do you want to play?"
Tang Yunfeng hesitated for only a moment before squinting at Chen Le.
"Mr. Tang, let's bet on the value of this wooden box!"
"If it exceeds 100 times the price of 10,000 I just gave you, that is, if the box can reach 1 million, you will give me 10 times the compensation, which is 10 million!"
“If I lose, I will also pay you 10 times the bet, which is 10 million plus 10 times the amount. I will give you 100 million!”
"So, the stakes aren't even, are you in?"
Chen Le suddenly said with a smile.
After hearing Chen Le's words, Tang Yunfeng was stunned for a long time, and his pupils dilated considerably!
Oh shit?!
What kind of betting game is this?
Is this kid playing for such a big game?
They casually throw out a hundred million as a bargaining chip?!
Tang Yunfeng felt uneasy, sensing that this kid was very strange.
But what if you don't gamble!
Then his reputation and fame as the owner of Baibaozhai are ruined today.
Tang Yunfeng's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"and many more……"
"Hey kid! Let me take a look at that wooden box first!"
At this point, Tang Yunfeng waved his hand.
Chen Le then simply shoved the ink cartridge into his hand.
Tang Yunfeng's hands trembled as he took the item and examined it carefully from top to bottom.
They even brought out a magnifying glass and many other professional devices.
After a full half hour of inspection.
Only then did he feel completely relieved.
He's been running an antique shop for half his life, and his appraisal skills are exceptionally high!
After his examination just now.
That wooden box was practically worthless.
It's just a small item from less than a century ago.
This kid was definitely bluffing me!
He decided to take the bet!
He wanted to see what other tricks the other side could pull.
Tang Yunfeng put the ink cartridge down with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll bet you!"
"But kid, words are no proof. If you renege on your promise later, who am I supposed to complain to?"
"Just leave that painting here as a deposit!"
"Similarly, I'll also give you a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain, guaranteed to be made by a master craftsman, also worth hundreds of millions."
"Even if it's just 1000 million, I can transfer it to you directly!"
Tang Yunfeng sneered, looking completely confident.
"Let's do it your way, that's settled for now!"
A smug smile appeared on Chen Le's face.
He was just waiting for the other party to fall into his trap.
Although these items are very valuable.
But he knew the principle that you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
Otherwise, with this item right now, you really won't make much money.
This extra bet could directly cash out 1000 million!
the most important is.
All the items I bought today will eventually belong to Mr. Li.
After all, he was standing up for Mr. Li today.
It's great to be able to collaborate with such a prominent figure as Mr. Li.
Let alone a hundred million in the future.
You can earn billions or even hundreds of billions.
"Well then, now begin your performance!"
"I'd like to see how you're going to multiply this 1 yuan item a hundredfold!"
Tang Yunfeng crossed his arms, looking arrogant.
It's one thing if he misjudged the painting, after all, there's a masterpiece hidden inside.
But this broken box was completely empty inside.
He didn't believe Chen Le could pull off anything.
At this moment, both Mr. Li and his assistant Liang looked at Chen Le with great curiosity.
They had just looked at the wooden box, and it didn't look valuable at all!
Just then, Chen Le picked up the old wooden box and slowly revealed it to everyone.
Chen Le laughed, pointed to the patterns on the wooden box, and began to slowly recount:
"First of all, you can see the carving techniques here."
"Although this wooden box looks unremarkable on the outside, its value lies hidden in these details."
"This box has smooth yet exquisite lines, which is typical of the late Ming Dynasty style."
“Look at the treatment of the inner wall. This unique polishing technique was very time-consuming and labor-intensive under the conditions at that time. It indicates that this wooden box may have been made for an important person and was likely a court item.”
"Look at the hidden marks in this corner."
"This mark is very rare; it was carved by a court eunuch at the time."
"This eunuch's name is unknown, but what he did was absolutely earth-shattering—he embezzled the king's wealth!"
"This notorious thief of the palace stole a lot of treasures from the palace."
"And this mark is what he used to mark the place when he stole the treasure!"
As Chen Le spoke, everyone focused their attention, their eyes following his every move.
Pointing to the hastily written secret mark, Chen Le began to recount the eunuchs' hurried actions and the various bumps and knocks during the transfer.
At this moment, Chen Le was like a master, recreating the scene from that time.
Everyone listened with great interest, completely absorbed, as if they had returned to an ancient palace.
It was as if I could see a group of palace officials walking by, and a terrified old eunuch carrying a box walking out of the palace.
Even seasoned veterans of the antique world listened with great interest at this moment.
Some people even slapped their legs when they heard something exciting.
It truly broadened their horizons!
Next, Chen Le opened the wooden box. There was nothing conspicuous inside, just an empty cavity.
However, Chen Le laughed and continued.
"Are you thinking that this box is the container the old eunuch used to steal treasures?"
"The box is empty now, so has the treasure already been taken?"
"However, you still underestimated this master thief—"
Then, Chen Le carefully turned the wooden box.
Suddenly, a small mechanism at the bottom of the box was triggered, revealing a hidden compartment.
Chen Le gently took out the item from the hidden compartment—it was an exquisite jade pendant.
"This is the real treasure."
Chen Le looked amused as he showed off the jade pendant in his hand.
"Based on my judgment, this is a piece of Hetian jade, and it is carved with dragon patterns."
"Only members of the royal family can wear such jade pendants."
"Judging from its carving and texture, it can be determined that this is an extremely precious royal treasure."
The surrounding customers were stunned by this series of discoveries.
Tang Yunfeng's expression gradually turned ugly!
He clearly hadn't expected that such a valuable treasure would be hidden inside the wooden box.
Mr. Li and his assistant Liang looked at each other, then their faces lit up with joy!
In an instant, they were full of admiration for Chen Le's taste.
The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly after Chen Le displayed the precious Hetian jade pendant!
This is far more ingenious than any movie or TV plot.
Absolutely amazing.
The customers' faces were filled with disbelief, their eyes sparkling with surprise and envy.
His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but the sudden shock choked him up.
A glint of light flashed in Mr. Li's eyes. He slowly took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with the corner of his clothes, and then put them back on, as if to make sure he hadn't misread them!
His voice was filled with barely concealed excitement!
"This...this is unbelievable!"
"I've been in the antique business for over a decade... Today, I've truly had my eyes opened!"
"Chen Le, you not only have vision, but also such knowledge. You are truly a visionary!"
His words were full of praise and revealed his high expectations for Chen Le's future!
