Chapter 57

What Song Wanting said was all from the heart.

She truly felt that the new chairman of the Dihao Group was unfathomable.

Being able to buy a group worth hundreds of billions casually without showing his face, this shows that his industry is definitely not just as simple as a Dihao Group.

In comparison, the Song family is indeed a bit lacking.

However, she didn't know that the chairman of the Dihao Group she had always wanted to make friends with was sitting beside her at this time.

Ye Chen was naturally very low-key, echoing a few words casually, but never revealing any information.

Song Wanting's car drove fast and steadily.

Soon, the car drove to a small courtyard by the river.

This small courtyard was quiet and elegant, simple and unadorned on the outside, but inside it was a style of Jiangnan water town.

Small bridges and flowing water, Suzhou-style elegant gardens, pavilions and towers, lined up one after another.

After parking, someone specifically welcomed the two into the door.

Passing through the courtyard, they entered the main hall.

In the hall decorated in Chinese style, a rosewood round table was placed, and beside the table were several master chairs.

Seeing the two enter, a white-haired old man stood up and greeted Song Wanting: "Eldest Miss, you are here."

Song Wanting's face was a bit awkward, and she nodded: "Old Qi, why are you here too?"

The old man smiled slightly and said: "The master heard you were coming, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

Song Wanting nodded and introduced to Ye Chen: "Old Qi is our Song family's treasure appraiser, sent by the family. He should be afraid of mistakes."

Ye Chen nodded. He was too young, so it was understandable that the Song family was worried.

Old Qi glanced at Ye Chen, his face a bit disdainful, and said: "Is this the treasure appraiser invited by the Eldest Miss? So young, have you studied treasure appraisal?"

A middle-aged man with a blue face beside him immediately sneered and said: "Finding such a young kid to appraise? Is the Song family out of people? Do you want me to lend you a few treasure appraisers? Hahahaha."

Song Wanting's face turned cold and she said: "Li Tailai, this is Jin Ling, not your Haicheng. It's not your turn to talk too much here."

Li Tailai shrugged and said indifferently: "The little girl of the Song family has quite a temper."

"Alright..." A middle-aged man sitting in the due east of the round table frowned and said, "Everyone is here to do business, not to quarrel. Everyone calm down."

"And this young man, let's sit together."

Song Wanting snorted before sitting down slowly.

Ye Chen also sat down, and then Song Wanting leaned into his ear and whispered: "The one called Li Tailai before is the richest man in Haicheng. The one beside him is called Guo Ming, a very powerful geomancy master. The one who spoke just now is Qin Gang, the head of the Qin family in Jin Ling. Their family recently..."

Only then did Ye Chen notice that beside Li Tailai sat an old man wearing a cyan-green traditional Chinese suit.

The old man had a full head of silver hair, quite a bit of a fairy-like aura, and his whole body exuded an atmosphere of "no strangers allowed". He had been closing his eyes, and even after Ye Chen and the other arrived, he hadn't opened them.

Speaking of this, Song Wanting stopped talking. Although Ye Chen was a bit curious in his heart, it was not good to ask again.

After everyone was seated, on the other side of the table, a fat man dressed in luxurious clothes smiled and said: "Since the quarrel is over, let's hurry up and see the goods. You are all from big families, there is no need to dwell on such small things worth a hundred million for too long."

Qin Gang snorted coldly and said: "As long as this thing is really like what you said, can adjust Feng Shui, calm the mind, a hundred million is really not in my heart."

The fat man glanced at him before placing a simple wooden box on the table.

In the box was a piece of red jade glowing with blood light, with an ancient style. As soon as it was taken out, everyone felt an atmosphere of warmth filling the hall.

Qin Gang and the others' eyes immediately lit up.

Song Wanting turned to ask Old Qi: "Old Qi, what do you think of this jade?"

Old Qi stared for a moment, nodded and said: "It should be no problem. It is blood-threaded jade from before the Tang Dynasty, and it looks like it has been nurtured by a high monk for a long time."

Song Wanting nodded and turned to ask Ye Chen: "What does Mr. Ye think?"

Ye Chen curled his lips disdainfully and said: "Fake..."

Old Qi snorted coldly and scolded: "Young, who gave you the courage to talk nonsense in front of so many people!"

Guo Ming, the old man beside Li Tailai, also opened his eyes, looked at the ancient jade, and asked: "Can I touch it?"

The fat man sneered disdainfully and said: "Guo Ye, are you kidding me? You don't understand that jade shouldn't pass through hands? Ordinary jade shouldn't pass through hands, and mine is Zhou Dynasty blood-threaded jade. If it falls or breaks, who is responsible?"

Guo Ming was stunned before saying: "It was me who was abrupt..."

After speaking, he also leaned over to the ancient jade and watched carefully. After a while, he closed his eyes again. For a long time, he nodded and said: "I don't know if the jade is from the Zhou Dynasty, but the saying that it can adjust Feng Shui and calm the mind should be true."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart was burning.

For them, what history this jade had didn't matter at all. What was important was what effect this jade had.

Old Qi smiled and said: "Guo Lao is also a person with vision, unlike those who have no ability but still act pretentious."

Hearing this, Song Wanting also felt a bit disappointed with Ye Chen in her heart.

It seems he is still too young. Perhaps he has some attainments in cultural relic restoration, but in antique appraisal, compared with these old people, there is still a big gap.

Seeing this, Ye Chen just shook his head slightly. Since these people were willing to be fooled, he didn't need to stop them.

Seeing that everyone had appraised it, the fat man covered the box and smiled: "Since the thing has been appraised, everyone, shouldn't you make a price?"

Before the words fell, Qin Gang took the lead and said: "I offer one hundred million..."

"One hundred and thirty million," Li Tailai also intervened.

Seeing that Song Wanting didn't speak, the fat man asked: "What about Miss Song?"

Seeing that Song Wanting was a bit hesitant, Old Qi hurriedly whispered in her ear: "Eldest Miss, this is definitely a treasure. The valuation should be around 300 million. If it can be taken down for 200 million, it is a steady profit without loss."

Song Wanting was also a bit shaken in her heart. She turned to look at Ye Chen, but saw that the other party's expression was indifferent, neither sad nor happy, and couldn't help but feel a bit hesitant in her heart.

Old Qi looked at Ye Chen coldly, knowing that Song Wanting was influenced by Ye Chen, so she didn't make an offer, so he said: "Just now, this Mr. Ye said this ancient jade is fake. I am very curious to know what conclusion Mr. Ye reached! Let us also see Mr. Ye's means!"

If Ye Chen talked nonsense later, Song Wanting would naturally know that Ye Chen's words were fake, and only then would she rest assured to make an offer.

Others mocked disdainfully:

"What does a young kid know, don't come up to embarrass yourself..."

"Exactly, it's not his turn to speak here."

"If you don't want to buy, just forget it, don't delay everyone's time."

Listening to everyone's mockery, Ye Chen just stared at Old Qi with interest and asked indifferently: "Are you sure you want me to say it?"
