Huo Jilin hurried forward to greet her and said with a smile: "Madam, welcome. I wonder what kind of antiques you are interested in?"
The lady looked around and her eyes stopped on an ancient painting. She said: "This painting has some charm. I wonder where it came from?"
Hu Bayi walked up and introduced carefully: "Madam, this painting is a masterpiece handed down from a famous artist. Its brushstrokes are delicate and the colors are bright. It is of great collection value."
The lady nodded slightly and said: "It sounds good, but the price..."
Wang Kaixuan interrupted: "Madam, this price is absolutely fair. After all, this is a rare treasure."
The lady smiled and said: "I'll think about it."
After the lady left, the three began to discuss.
Huo Jilin said, "This lady looks extraordinary. I wonder if she will come back to buy the painting."
Hu Bayi frowned and said, "I always feel that her eyes are a little unpredictable."
Wang Kaixuan said carelessly, "Who cares? If she really wants to buy it, she will come back."
A few days later, the lady came again.
The lady said, "I decided to buy the painting, but I have a condition."
Huo Jilin asked, "Madam, please speak."
The lady said, "I want you to help me identify a batch of antiques. If you are satisfied, the price of this painting is not a problem."
The three looked at each other, and Hu Bayi said, "Madam, let's take a look at your antiques first."
The antiques brought by the lady filled the room, and the three began to identify them carefully.
Hu Bayi picked up a piece of porcelain, shook his head and said, "Madam, this piece of porcelain is very similar, but it is a fake after all."
The lady's face changed slightly and said, "Impossible, I bought it at a high price."
Wang Kaixuan said, "Madam, we are not wrong, this is indeed a fake."
The lady was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, keep looking."
After some identification, most antiques have problems of one kind or another.
The lady said a little disappointedly, "Isn't there any real one?"
Huo Jilin said, "Madam, there are a few pieces that are indeed real, but the value is not as high as you think."
The lady bit her lip and said, "Forget it, I won't buy that painting."
The three of them watched the lady leave helplessly.
Not long after, the antique shop suddenly received a mysterious invitation letter.
Huo Jilin opened the invitation and read: "Dear Mr. Huo Jilin, we sincerely invite you to participate in an antique auction, where many rare antiques will be unveiled."
Hu Bayi said: "This auction came a little suddenly, I don't know if it is reliable."
Wang Kaixuan said: "Who cares, let's go and have a look, maybe we can find something good."
The auction site was crowded and the atmosphere was warm.
A beautiful jade was displayed, and the auctioneer introduced: "This jade is the favorite of an ancient emperor, the starting price is one million."
Huo Jilin whispered: "This jade looks good, but the price is too high."
Hu Bayi said: "Let's see the situation first."
Just then, a strange voice sounded: "Two million."
Everyone looked sideways, only to see a mysterious man bid.
Wang Kaixuan said: "Who is this guy, so generous."
The auction continued, and one antique after another was sold at a high price.
Suddenly, a mysterious bronze ware appeared, attracting everyone's attention.
The auctioneer said: "The origin of this bronze ware is unknown, but according to experts' speculation, it may have extremely high historical value. The starting price is 5 million."
Huo Jilin's heart moved and said: "This bronze ware looks familiar."
Hu Bayi said: "I also feel like I have seen it somewhere."
While they were thinking, the price had been raised to 8 million.
Wang Kaixuan said anxiously: "Should we bid?"
Huo Jilin hesitated for a moment and said: "Wait a minute."
In the end, the bronze ware was auctioned off by the mysterious man at a high price of 10 million.
After the auction, the three were about to leave, but were stopped by the mysterious man.
The mysterious man said, "Three, are you interested in the bronze artifact?"
Huo Jilin said vigilantly, "What advice do you have?"
The mysterious man smiled and said, "I know the true origin of this bronze artifact. Do you want to hear it?"
Hu Bayi said, "I would like to hear the details."
The mysterious man lowered his voice and said, "This bronze artifact may be related to a lost treasure..."
After hearing this, the three people were shocked.
Huo Jilin said, "Why do you want to tell us this?"
The mysterious man said, "Because I need your help to find the treasure together. "
Wang Kaixuan said: "This sounds too risky."
The mysterious man said: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger, don't you want to try it?"
Huo!
Faced with the mysterious man's proposal, Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan fell into a brief silence.
Huo Jilin was the first to break the silence. He looked at the mysterious man with a firm gaze and said: "Sir, this matter is very serious. We need more information to decide whether to participate."
The mysterious man smiled slightly and responded: "Of course, I understand your caution. This bronze ware is actually the key to open a mysterious treasure. It is said that the treasure contains endless treasures and precious historical documents. "
Hu Bayi frowned and questioned: "How did you know this? Why did you choose us to help you?"
A sly flash in the mysterious man's eyes said: "I have my own channels. And I chose you because I heard of your reputation in antique appraisal and adventure. I believe that with your expertise and courage, our chances of success will be greatly increased. "
Wang Kaixuan touched his chin, thought for a moment and said: "It sounds tempting, but the risks are probably not small. If we are not careful, we will fall into it. "
The mysterious man hurriedly said: "Risks and opportunities coexist. As long as we succeed, it will be endless wealth and glory."
Huo Jilin pondered for a while and said: "Let us think about it and give you an answer tomorrow."
The mysterious man nodded and said: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After the mysterious man left, the three returned to the antique shop and began to discuss.
Hu Bayi sat on the chair and said: "I don't think this matter is very reliable. Maybe it's a trap."
Wang Kaixuan retorted: "Old Hu, we can't be so timid. If there is a treasure, we will be rich."
Huo Jilin said: "Old Wang, you can't just look at the benefits, you have to think about the dangers. Moreover, we know nothing about this mysterious man. "
Wang Kaixuan said anxiously: "Oh, Lao Huo, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. We can't just guard this small shop forever."
Hu Bayi said: "Lao Wang, don't be impulsive. We have to think long-term."
