The middle-aged man was so excited that he sent Brucille away with eager eyes.
When Brucille returned to his room, he saw Man Xiangcui leaving his room. He stopped at the corner of the steps and watched her leave before he returned to his room.
This girl came to harass him in the middle of the night. After imagining some pictures that were inappropriate for children, he fell asleep.
The next day, when the white fish bellies appeared in the east, Brucille knocked at the door again. He asked with misty eyes, “First Miss, if you come in the middle of the night, why are you here in the early morning?”
Wan Xiangcui wrinkled her nose and said with dissatisfaction, “Do you have a problem? Are you not going to open the door in the room?”
“I’m taking a shower. How can I open it?”
This was the reason why Brucille came here as soon as he opened his mouth. Man Xiangcui stared at him and asked, “Are you dumb? Can’t you say a word?”
Brucille darkened his face and said directly, “Go ahead, what’s the matter?”
With her mouth wide open, Wan Xiangcui said, “It’s all right. We can’t do it in the daytime!”
This made Brucille completely frightened. What can’t a man do during the day?
When Dominic came out of the room and saw Man Xiangcui standing at Brucille’s door, he squinted and asked, “Bruce, Xiangcui, why didn’t you chat for a while last night?”
Brucille had always felt that this Ruan Donglou had the intention of befriending him. He interrupted, “Let’s go, Manager Ruan. The weather today is so nice.”
Man Xiangcui stomped her feet and left.
Seeing this, Dominic smiled and said, “Bruce, Xiangcui has been spoiled since childhood. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Manager Ruan, I have no objections. Let’s go and check our goods.”
He didn’t want to discuss the issue with Ruan Donglou on the issue of Quan Xiangcui, so he changed the topic.
When they came to the jade trading market again, Mr. Ruan and the driver followed Brucille and chatted with each other from time to time. Mr. Ruan wondered if these stones in front of him were only suitable for buying back home.
In front of him was a huge stone about a meter tall, about the size of a cubic meter. The color of the outside was old and irregular.
“Bruce, we have watched it for a long time, but she hasn’t moved yet. What do you think of this piece? It’s quite big.”
“Let’s ask the price first. Boss, what’s the price of this piece?”
“Six million, no bargaining.”
Hearing this, Brucille shook his head. He had to sell it for at least 30 million yuan to meet his requirements. But this piece didn’t have such potential. It would be good if he could flip it over.
Therefore, he shook his head without hesitation. “Forget it. It’s not worth it.”
Dominic sighed deeply. He didn’t expect that selling a good stone would be so bad. He admired Brucille’s patience and was not in a hurry.
After two hours, the two of them still got nothing, while Brucille had been looking for the old man selling antiques.
A lot of people gathered at the front door of a store. Brucille seemed to see the antique seller. He hurried over and saw the uncle holding his treasure in his arms in the crowd.
“Hey, what do you think? Did you steal it from someone else?”
“This thing is a fake. It’s just an imitation of a bronze statue. How dare you ask for 2 million? Are you crazy?”
As the crowd chatted with each other, Brucille was about to walk over to help the uncle out of trouble.
A young man, who seemed to be in his early 20s, came over.
In his hand was a fan that was painted to welcome visitors, and he said leisurely, “Old man, tell me, you said that this thing was passed down from your ancestors, and you said it was from the Ming dynasty. How can you be sure that it is not the era of Qin Shihuang?”
The youth’s words caused a burst of laughter nearby.
The middle-aged man was more willing to take Brucille’s words seriously. He said, “Last night, the little brother has seen it for me. This thing is definitely not fake. It is really passed down from my ancestors. Don’t forget it. I will find someone else to have a look.”
An old man walked out from behind the young man. He appeared to be fifty or sixty years old. He walked over to the middle aged man and said: “You held this item so tightly. We can see how good and bad it is. I’ve done some research on this. Why don’t you take it out and let me have a look?”
Seeing so many people, the uncle also agreed.
The old man picked up the bronze Buddha statue and carefully scrutinized it before saying, “This thing is true, but it should be a lost item in the late spring. It is still valuable, but it is impossible for you to ask for 2 million.”
Brucille did not expect that these antique-playing people were all evil-minded. The old man could see that things in the late morning were simply bullshit. He strode over.
He took the bronze statue from the old man and said loudly in the crowd, “Old man said this bronze statue came from the late morning, and I don’t agree with you.”
“The old gentleman claimed that he had some research on antiques. I believe you only know a little about superficial knowledge. The easiest way to distinguish between the two generations of Buddha statue is to distinguish whether the fetus is thick or not. In years, the lighter the fetus is, the heavier it is.”
“But that’s only one. The pattern on the bronze statue is very delicate and has a strong texture. Its face is wide and flat, and its eyes are straight. Because it is very famous for Tibetan Buddhism in the Ming dynasty, it has been affected deeply, so the era is obviously marked…”
Several hundred words of Brucille spread to the public, how did he recognize the Buddha of the Ming dynasty in front of them.
The old man, who had believed that he knew a little about magic earlier, was now red in the face. It was obvious that he knew nothing about it. He was just pretending that he knew nothing about it and claimed that the thing in the Ming Dynasty belonged to the Qing Dynasty. In this way, the price would be greatly reduced.
In the crowd, finally, there was a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit. He looked kind and looked like a real expert at first glance.
He walked to Brucille with a smile and said softly, “Young man, I wonder if I can take a look at this Buddha statue.”
“Go ahead!”
After the middle-aged man looked at the Buddha carefully, he looked surprised.
“I don’t know how to address you, young man. I didn’t expect you to analyze this great Buddha in such detail at such a young age. You have a good eye. This is indeed a Buddha statue of the Ming dynasty.”
“Sir, you can just call me Bruce directly. I just don’t want Uncle to sell such a good thing to a heartless person.”
The old man who sold antiques looked at Brucille at this time, and he was grateful to him with tears in his eyes.
The man in Chinese tunic suit said, “Well, I believe since Bruce knows it’s a product from the Ming dynasty, he also knows it doesn’t come from the palace. My offer is worth 5 million yuan. What do you think?”
Brucille asked, “Uncle, what do you think?”
“I agree. I’ve sold her. I’ve sold her. My wife is still waiting for money in the hospital. Thank you, Brucille…”
