Chapter 9: Those who cannot calm down first are often the losers!

The western suburbs of Longcheng.

An antique street called Cuizhuyuan is bustling with people.

The whole street is filled with a dazzling array of antiques and treasures, and countless vendors are constantly shouting.

This is a holy place where countless people want to hunt for treasures . Anyone with a discerning eye will have the opportunity to make a lot of money here by picking up treasures and complete a counterattack in life.

In an antique shop, the owner of the antique shop held a magnifying glass and was carefully observing the lines of the ancient coins in his palm.

After seeing the quality of the ancient coins, the owner of the antique shop couldn't put it down and said, “Young man, each of these ancient coins of yours is of high quality! I paid 8,000 and accepted them all. What do you think?"

In her previous life, Xia Ye had also been involved in the antique business, and she knew the ins and outs of the antique market very clearly.

The owners of these antique shops like to buy the most cost-effective antiques at the lowest price, and then resell them at a high price.

Eight thousand is just the lowest price in the mind of the antique shop owner!

Xia Ye pretended to put away the ancient coins and said calmly, “Then I'd better go to other stores and ask, at least do some shopping around."

Seeing that the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, the owner of the antique shop became a little anxious. He quickly increased the price and said, "Brother, don't leave! I'll give you another thousand. I'll take all nine thousand! This is what I can give." The highest price.”

If you were a novice who had just started playing with antiques, you would definitely be very happy to sell after hearing that the boss increased the price.

But for Xia Ye, who has been in the business world for many years, increasing prices is just the beginning.

When talking about such a one-shot deal, in the final analysis it is about who can lose his composure first!

The person who can't keep his temper is often the loser!

After experiencing ups and downs in his previous life, Xia Ye has enough confidence in the value of these ancient coins in his hands, so he is naturally more calm than the antique shop owner.

He knew that he didn't have to worry about selling the ancient coins in his hand. Maybe he could sell them at a higher price in another antique store.

But the owner of the antique shop is more anxious than him, and he is definitely not willing to let go of the acquisition of rare ancient coins.

Xia Ye has already figured out the psychology of the antique shop owner.

"You have also seen the quality of these ancient coins. They are rare and exquisite. You want to send me nine thousand? Then I'd better go to another store and ask!"

Just when Xia Ye was about to turn around and leave, the owner of the antique shop finally lost his composure and quickly stopped him and said, “Twelve thousand! Brother, it can't go any higher! If you don't believe it, go to other stores and ask around. There's no one there." I will give you this price.”

Xia Ye carefully observed the expression on the antique shop owner's face and made sure that he was telling the truth before returning to the counter and handing over all the ancient coins in his hand.

"make a deal."

The antique shop owner secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the most difficult deal he has negotiated in all the years he has opened a store in Cuizhuyuan.

The guy in front of him looks young, but Cheng Fu looks very old and sophisticated. Even he, an old man who has been around the antique street for many years, is a bit beyond his reach.

After clearing the money and goods, Xia Ye walked out of the antique store with 12,000 in cash.

Before he had walked a few steps, a piece of beautiful jade on a roadside stall immediately caught his eye and made him stop.

Rudraksha Bodhi!

In his previous life, Xia Ye, he had a sweet dream of picking up treasures and making a fortune in the antique street, but every time he got taken advantage of, he was so angry that he never came back.

He remembers very clearly that at that time, someone spent less than 50,000 yuan on the antique street to find this rugged jade bodhi, but it was resold for a high price of 150,000 yuan.

Many people are so envious of such a lucky person that their eyes turn red, and how many people wish they could imagine that they are the one with unlucky luck!

However, what Xia Ye never expected was that the Rudraksha Bodhi in this life would suddenly appear under his nose !

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pick up missing pieces!

Xia Ye squatted down, wanting to take a closer look at this fine piece of jade.

When the stall owner saw Xia Ye's eyes widening, he almost had the word "pick and miss" written on his face, and said with great disdain, “If you can't afford it, don't touch it!"

Xia Ye retracted her hand to pick up the flawless jade and asked calmly, “How can I sell this jade?"

"fifty thousand."

The stall owner didn't think Xia Ye could afford it, so he casually raised the price, hoping that Xia Ye would give up.

Xia Ye held the 12,000 cash in her pocket and muttered, “There is something wrong with the lines on this piece of jade. It looks like a handicraft. Also, its color is not pure white and flawless jade. There are many flaws on it. It definitely doesn’t feel warm and smooth to the touch. The quality of the jade is not even high-quality, and the polishing is a bit rough. It’s not worth 50,000 yuan at all.”

After hearing Xia Ye's lucid analysis, the surrounding buyers who were planning to buy the items at the stall were persuaded to leave by Xia Ye.

This made the stall owner very anxious!

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

With red eyes, he rolled up his sleeves and cursed, “You bastard, what are you talking about? Do you believe that I will kill you?"

Seeing that the buyers at the stall were almost gone, Xia Ye lowered her voice and said to the boss, “There is no one else here now. Let's open the skylight and speak openly. I want to buy it back as an amulet for my daughter. Can I sell it for five hundred?"

"Five hundred? Do you think I'm doing charity here? This is an heirloom passed down by my family! If you don't sincerely want to buy it, get out of here!"

"Then let's each take a step back, five thousand yuan!"

"I can't sell it for less than 20,000! If you don't have any money, get out!"

Seeing that Xia Ye failed to pick up leaks, she was a little depressed. These old fritters who hang out in the antique street are not so easy to fool.

It's impossible to persuade them to take action with five hundred and five thousand , otherwise where would they make money?

Even the lucky guy who paid more than 40,000 yuan to buy it was probably regarded as a scapegoat by the boss.

If he had 20,000 yuan on hand, it would not be a loss to buy a treasure worth 150,000 yuan.

The issue is……

He now only has the twelve thousand yuan he just earned from selling ancient coins. Where can he get the remaining eight thousand yuan?

If he hadn't taken down this rugged jade bodhi today, maybe by the time he earned the remaining eight thousand, it wouldn't be on this street anymore!

He didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just as Xia Ye was guarding the stall and reluctant to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Xiaoye, why are you here?"

Xia Ye turned around and saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a Chinese tunic suit.

"Godfather?"

Xia Ye's godfather Xiao Fumin is an archeology professor and a senior antique appraisal expert in Longcheng City. He is often invited by the owner of Cuizhuyuan to do antique appraisal in the store.

They lived in the same building. When Xia Ye came to Longcheng City, if it weren't for Xiao Fumin's help, he and Jiang Mu wouldn't even have a place to stay.

Xiao Fumin was a kind man and never looked down on Xia Ye because he was a bad gambler. He also treated his wife and daughter better than others.

It's a pity that good people don't live long. Xiao Fumin was in a car accident while riding a bus and passed away soon after. At that time, Jiang Mu and Qi Qi were both sad and in tears at the memorial service.

"Xiaoye, did you encounter any difficulties?"
