“I...”Bernard was suddenly speechless.According to this logic that the matching of goods was necessary based on the availability of rare goods, it was only natural for the matching of goods for the Rejuvenating Pill. Bernard suddenly could not find any reason to refute Charlie’s words. Just as he was at a loss for what to do, his butler, who was next to him, suddenly spoke up, “Sir! It’s indeed true that your Rejuvenating Pill is much more valuable. However, this is an auction! If you guys had a fixed price for the Rejuvenating Pill, we would have accepted your request for the matching of goods on top of that price itself. However, this auction is supposed to be for the highest bidder, so why should we have to match additional goods for the auction, then?”When Bernard heard this, his face lit up immediately as he said loudly, “Yes! This is an auction! I haven’t heard of anyone who has to match goods for an auction!”Charlie curled his lips and laughed as he said, “You’re rea

Charlie looked displeased as he said, “I don’t like hearing you say that. We are opening our door to do business, and both parties need to be willing. I think you’ll have to be willing to cooperate with us before I match goods with you. I will not force you if you are not willing to do so. This is the same rule as your shop.”Bernard nodded in dismay and said helplessly, “Okay. I was the one who did not put any thought into my speech. So, why don’t you just name a price? Tell me how much goods I need to match for this matter to end?”Charlie smiled faintly and looked at Zachary as he asked, “Zachary, what other items do you have here? Hurry up and introduce them to Mr. Arnault.”Zachary usually deceived countless people on any ordinary day, but at this time, he could not help but hesitate for a long time because of Charlie. He also did not know where to start.Charlie felt exasperated because of Zachary’s cowardice, so he shook his head and picked up a square white object from the

Bernard had not expected that Charlie would turn on him immediately just like that. He did not dare to joke around about the qualification to participate in the auction. Although he was sitting on a family fortune of more than a trillion dollars, once there was no life for him to enjoy, this family fortune could be said to be worthless, then. So, he instantly succumbed and hurriedly switched to a humble and pleading demeanor as he begged, “Sir, don’t be angry. Let’s discuss this matter amicably! Please tell Chairman Cameron that I’m willing to match the goods!”After saying that, he stretched out his trembling hand as he pointed at the Oskia Imperial Jade Seal in Zachary’s arms, and he gritted his teeth as he said, “Isn’t that the Oskia Imperial Jade Seal? I will buy it!”Charlie sneered and said, “It might not be enough for you to buy just the Oskia Imperial Jade Seal...”Bernard’s heart tightened as he clenched his fists and asked in a trembling voice, “Then... What else do yo

After that, Charlie gave Zachary a look that signified ‘I really do not know how to brag and lie about this piece of crap. You should do it yourself.’. Although Zachary had previously been frightened by Charlie’s astronomical figures, at the very least, he was still a swindler who had reigned and had plenty of experience in Antique Street for many years. Therefore, he was very rich in actual experience, and he quickly adapted to this routine.So, he smiled and hurriedly said to Bernard, “Mr. Arnault, the painting that I am going to introduce to you today can be said to have shocked the entire world of painting in the East and West!”After saying that, Zachary then narrated, “Everyone knows that the Mona Lisa was created by Leonardo da Vinci in the 1500s, but let me tell you, that painting was actually not an original painting by da Vinci, but a painting by a great Oskian painter by the name of Markel Fairise in the early ancient Oskian times.”Before he had finished speaking, he p

Bernard looked at the serious expression on Zachary’s face, and at a certain moment, he was almost about to be successfully brainwashed by Zachary.He looked back and forth at Zachary and then at the painting of the Mona Lisa in Charlie’s hands several times, and he felt as if his brain was in a trance for a few moments.Charlie also knew that Zachary was talking nonsense, but he really did not expect that Zachary would be able to come up with such an elaborate set of stories, and he could not help but feel some admiration for this lad from the bottom of his heart.Not to mention anything else, but his skills at talking nonsense could definitely be considered first-class.Nevertheless, Bernard quickly came back to his senses. He knew that Zachary must be randomly making this story up.First of all, not to mention whether this story could possibly be true or not, but even if this story was true, this group of people couldn't possibly be in possession of this painting themselves.

He himself was the originator of the matching goods industry, and he relied on the trick of matching goods to earn tens of billions of dollars.Therefore, Bernard also understood that the reason why merchants dared to ask consumers to match goods was because they had absolute confidence in their own goods. Once they knew that consumers were willing to get the goods at any cost, they would have enough courage to ask the consumers to match goods. A bag that cost more than one hundred thousand dollars could be matched with goods worth two hundred thousand dollars. A watch that cost more than two hundred dollars could be matched with goods worth four or five hundred thousand dollars. All of them could grasp the psychology of consumers accurately and so, they could be made to pay ruthlessly. Now, Bernard was pining for the Rejuvenating Pill and so, he could only grit his teeth and accept it if he were to match goods for this.After all, when he came out to do business, he would alwa

When Charlie saw that Bernard was paying money to concede, he was very satisfied, and he said to him, “Mr. Arnault, the matter of matching goods will end for the time being, but our boss still has one more matter to instruct you on.”Bernard hurriedly said, “Please speak up...” Charlie said indifferently, “You must keep the receipt and purchase order that I just showed you absolutely confidential, and you cannot let anyone else know about this matter.”Bernard replied without hesitation, “Don’t worry about this. I definitely won’t disclose this to the public.”“That’s good.” Charlie then smiled faintly and said, “By the way, there is one more matter that I need your help with.”Bernard hurriedly asked, “What else do you want me to do? Just give me your instructions!”Charlie casually said, “Our boss does not really like your shop in Aurous Hill very much. His intention is for you to arrange for the withdrawal of your shop as soon as possible. Moreover, you should not keep any of

As he spoke, Zachary then said, “I actually got a student from the Academy of Fine Arts to paint the Oskian version of the Mona Lisa painting for five hundred dollars per piece. I would generally ask for a price of a little over eighty thousand dollars for it on Antique Street, and if I manage to sell such a pair, I generally would not set up my stall for two months, then. It is also mainly because I’m afraid that people will come looking for me.”Charlie asked him, “How do you usually deal with it when others come looking for you?”Zachary forced a laugh twice and then explained, “If they come to find me, it will certainly be because they want a refund. I usually look at the person, and if I can afford to provoke him and go against him, I would fight to the end. Anyway, my basic principle of doing business on Antique Street is to never give a refund.”Charlie asked again, “What if you cannot afford to provoke the person, then?”Zachary scratched his head and said, “My first option

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A
