Billionaire shocks the world with his bad behavior
Chapter 164 Another Fake
The Black Shadows still have a certain status in the Ghost Market. The fact that they have the power to expel guests is enough to make guests fearful.
When the stall owner saw the black shadow appear, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that something might happen and he would be kicked out of the ghost market. Then he would really have no hope.
"Lan, are you okay?"
Shen Lisu nimbly and lightly made her way through the crowd of onlookers and came to Wei Fengchen's side.
Because they had to hide their identities in the ghost market, they each took a code name and agreed to use the mask as their name.
Wei Fengchen's mask is silver-blue, so it is called Lan.
"I am fine."
Seeing the genuine worry in Shen Lisu's eyes through the mask, Wei Fengchen felt a little warm in his heart and shook his head with a smile.
When the troublemaker saw the black shadow, his arrogance was much lessened, but he still said that he was unwilling and reluctant.
"In this business, the highest bidder wins. If you don't make money, you are a fool."
The stall owner, who was called a fool in a sarcastic tone, did not refute but continued to keep his head down, fearing that he would be driven out of the ghost market.
Shen Lisu focused her eyes on the item they were fighting over, which was the only item the stall owner was selling.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had discovered something interesting, so she squatted down and wanted to take a closer look.
"Can I see it, please?"
Perhaps realizing that Shen Lisu and Wei Fengchen were in the same group, the stall owner just raised his head slightly, glanced at Wei Fengchen, and when he saw that she had no objection, he nodded.
After getting consent, Shen Lisu took out a pair of white gloves from her pocket, put them on elegantly and calmly, and then picked up the things.
It's not that she is being pretentious; this is also one of the rules of doing business in the ghost market, to prevent damage to items.
"This carving is really exquisite."
Nowadays, it is rare to find someone with such exquisite craftsmanship except her. This is the second time she has seen it.
The first time was at the Four Seasons Auction in Fengcheng, where a jade carving named after Su Jin was later bought by Jiang Minglu.
“It’s a replica, not the real thing.”
Shen Lisu was a little surprised by the stall owner's sudden words. It was not because she was mean-spirited, but because the prototype of this jade carving was from a thousand years ago.
She originally thought that this person was deliberately counterfeiting and selling fakes at the price of the real thing, but she didn't expect him to be so honest.
"Is this fake?"
Wei Fengchen originally thought that Shen Lisu recognized the value of the item and wanted to take a closer look, but he never expected that it was actually a fake.
So, she made a mistake again?
“It’s not true.”
Shen Lisu returned the item to the stall owner, slowly stood up, and turned her gaze to the evasive man who was making trouble. It seemed that he had realized that this was a fake.
Otherwise, given this person's style of doing things, he should have just cursed and left.
"What's his price?"
Feeling the tingling sensation coming from his ears, Wei Fengchen's body stiffened and his brain almost shut down.
After he realized what was happening, he coughed twice and then answered in a low voice.
"fifty thousand."
Hearing this, Shen Lisu nodded slightly. With this craftsmanship, even if it is a modern handicraft, it is worth so much money.
"I have something to ask him, but it's not convenient in public."
Shen Lisu implicitly suggested that she wanted to chat privately, and Wei Fengchen immediately understood.
"You are the holder of the Gold Pass, and you have an exclusive negotiation room."
The negotiation room mainly provides a completely private and safe space for both sellers and buyers, allowing them to speak freely without any scruples.
Regardless of whether the deal is reached or not, the content of the conversation will not be leaked in the slightest. This is set by the current Ghost Master.
After hearing what Wei Fengchen said, Shen Lisu became more curious about the Ghost Lord. Unfortunately, the Ghost Lord usually did not show up and was rarely seen.
"Hello, I want to open the negotiation room."
Shen Lisu directly took out the golden pass and handed it to the black shadow. The troublemaker man, who originally wanted to argue again, immediately fell silent and ran away in shame when he saw the golden pass.
"It's actually a gold pass?! I haven't seen it in years."
"The gossip I just heard was released today. I was going to ask who it was, but now I don't have to bother asking."
"My goodness, how much is this guy worth? He doesn't look that old."
The black shadow, who was about to leave after stopping the riot, had his pupils dilated for a moment after seeing the golden pass, and then he immediately bowed his head respectfully.
"Guest, please come with me."
The stall owner, who was originally a little uneasy about the appearance of the golden pass, did not refuse the invitation for a private chat.
In fact, he was not allowed to refuse.
Wei Fengchen was a very sensible person. He did not follow Shen Lisu, but asked her to come back to her after finishing the talk.
As for her previous desire to buy the jade carving, it was purely because she mistook it for the real thing, and now she has no intention of buying it.
"You two, please."
After the black shadow brought Shen Lisu and the stall owner to the exclusive negotiation room, he closed the door and stood guard at the door to prevent any ignorant people from disturbing them.
As soon as she entered the negotiation room, Shen Lisu subconsciously looked around.
There was no light around, and the only source of light was a small lamp on the coffee table, with hot tea and snacks placed next to it.
Two retro and luxurious wooden chairs are placed in the middle, creating an atmosphere for face-to-face negotiations.
When they lean back against the chairs, they can hide their bodies in the darkness, which is very consistent with the trading habits of the ghost market.
"What are you standing there for? Sit down."
Shen Lisu walked towards one of the wooden chairs leisurely. Seeing that she was fine, the stall owner let down his guard a little and walked towards the opposite side.
"Boss, what do you want to talk to me about?"
It was the stall owner’s first time entering the negotiation room, so he was inevitably a little nervous and spoke haltingly.
"Don't be afraid. I want to ask you, who made this jade carving?"
Opening the mouth is the key point, and for the stall owner, it is more like a critical hit.
He immediately tensed up, but when he realized that he was also wearing a mask and Shen Lisu couldn't see his appearance, he relaxed a little.
"I-I don't understand what you're talking about."
"I've seen similar craftsmanship at the Four Seasons Auction in Fengcheng, but the other party was using the name Su Jin, so I was very curious."
Su Jin?
Anyone who studies jade carving has heard of this name, but the stall owner just shook his head in confusion.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know any Su Jin. I also told you that this is a fake. I just want to make some money."
It was obvious that the stall owner did not lie, so Shen Lisu changed the question.
"In that case, where did you get this jade carving?"
"In the country, a little place, I don't remember."
Well, the stall owner is indeed a very honest person and he can't even lie.
He thought that his decisive answer would make Shen Lisu believe it, but in fact it was full of loopholes.
According to his answer, the first thing that came to his mind was the countryside, and then he added the adjective "small place".
If he really couldn't remember, his first sentence should be to indicate that he couldn't remember the place, but generally they were collected from small places like in the countryside because he didn't have more money to purchase these items.
"In that case, your thing is not shameful, but you waste the opportunity once a month to enter the ghost market just to sell this one thing. Do you think it is reasonable?"
