Zhou Ji said to Li Du in a low voice, "Unless you get someone else, you guys will definitely be taken advantage of. Brother Du, Brother Yao has already shown his trump card."
Li Du shook his head. "It's okay, leave it to me."
He took a sip of tea and ignored Zheng Xilin. Instead, he looked at Tao Zhi Bo and said, "Old Devil, do you think this ancient coin can be sold for less than 800,000?"
Tao Zhi Bo was a practical person. He mumbled, "Sell it. With this money, my parents' illnesses and my greenhouse will be easy to handle."
Li Du said, "Give me your bank account number."
Tao Zhi Bo did not understand and passed his Agricultural Bank of China card to him.
Li Du brought him to the nearest Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Zheng Xilin and the others were curious about what he was doing, so they followed.
Although he had used a Wells Fargo bank card in America, he had applied for an international ICBC account before returning to China. After entering the ICBC counter, he directly transferred 800,000 to Tao Zhi Bo's card.
Tao Zhi Bo's bank card was tied to his mobile phone. After hearing the notification of a text message, he took it out to take a look. The balance displayed on the screen shocked him: 804,508!
Li Du came over and said, "Alright, if you are willing to sell it for 800,000, then sell it to me. But let me tell you clearly, this ancient coin is worth more than 800,000. We are old classmates, so I won't cheat you. So, it belongs to me for the time being. As for the exact price, we will talk about it later. "
Tao Zhi Bo's attention was on the bank card. He stared at the screen of his mobile phone with wide eyes, looking at it over and over again.
Zheng Xilin was a little dumbfounded. He asked Zhou Ji in a low voice, "Chick, your friend is not ordinary. What's his background?"
Zhou Ji said, "I'm not too sure. He is my partner's classmate and usually stays in America. But Uncle Zheng, I can give you a hint. He is very financially powerful. "
As he spoke, he pointed to his left wrist. "Here, the thing he is wearing is worth at least two million dollars. It is one of the top ten legendary watches in the world today."
Zheng Xilin's expression changed. "There is such a domineering young man in this small county?"
Li Du walked toward him and held the ancient coin. "Boss Zheng, I will give you a base price of 1.1 million. If it is lower than this, I will have to find another client."
Zheng Xilin smiled calmly and said, "You can go look for it. Collecting copper coins is an unpopular collection in our country. This coin really isn't worth that much."
Li Du said, "Then I'll go overseas to look. Anyway, I know quite a lot of rich compatriots in America."
Zheng Xilin shook his head and said, "Perhaps you can find someone who is interested in this ancient coin, but as long as they understand the value of this Great Xia Zhen Xing, they will definitely not offer such a high price."
Li Du smiled. "You keep telling me about its value. Do you think I don't understand its value? Actually, that's what I'm doing overseas. "
He released the little bug, which flew towards Zheng Xilin. As he had expected, Zheng Xilin was carrying antiques rich in time energy.
The little bug flew to his hand first. On his thumb, there was a snow-white, shiny thumb ring. Li Du used the Time Reversal ability to take a quick look at the thumb ring.
The thumb ring had been around for a long time, at least in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. There were introductions about it during that period. To Li Du, the most important introduction was at an exhibition. There was a written introduction about this jade thumb ring.
With that, he glanced at the jade thumb ring and said confidently, "Boss Zheng, you are not someone who lacks money. Take this Qing Dynasty prince's white jade thumb ring as an example. It should be worth at least 800,000, right?"
Zheng Xilin looked at him in surprise and raised his hand. "How did you determine that this is a prince's white jade thumb ring?"
Li Du smiled. "It's very simple. Looking at the texture of the white jade, the color is light green, delicate and moist, and the oil content is quite good. It should be Hetian white jade, but there are some stone flower impurities in it. This is not a high-quality jade."
"The style of the thumb ring was popular in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the monarch system was very strict. The Hetian white jade thumb ring was either used by the prince or given by the emperor to the ministers and high-ranking officials."
"There is a vague shape of a horse on this thumb ring. Obviously, it is not a gift from the emperor. The emperor's gift was to show the majesty of the royal family. There were no decorative lines on it, and the high-ranking officials did not dare to add any lines."
"So, this should be the thumb ring of a prince. If I'm not wrong, this prince should have some military achievements, right?"
Zheng Xilin took a deep breath and cupped his hands in obeisance. "Little brother, you are an expert. I really misjudged you. Alright, how much do you think this Da Xia Zhen Xing is worth?"
"1.1 million," Li Du said calmly, trying hard to portray the demeanor of an expert.
Zheng Xilin did not bargain anymore. He said happily, "Alright, I respect your expert judgment. 1.1 million it is then!"
He asked for Li Du's bank account number and made a call to the finance department to transfer the money to Li Du.
Li Du made the transfer again and transferred 300,000 to Tao Zhi Bo. He said, "Fortunately, I did not disappoint you. 1.1 million. You should be satisfied with this price, right?"
Tao Zhi Bo was excited again. He pulled him and said, "Old Li, you are too amazing! You are too amazing! But why did you call me all the time? You should at least, at least keep 100,000 dollars! "
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Why should I keep 100,000 dollars? Alright, just take the money honestly — "
Tao Zhi Bo was very stubborn. He interrupted him and said, "No, you have to take at least 100,000 dollars!"
As he said this, he paused and said, "I know you are not short of money. I can tell from the way you transferred the money just now. Logically speaking, I should give you the 300,000 dollars that you negotiated for yourself, but I can't bear to. Old Li, don't look down on me. I can't bear to! "
He pulled Li Du to sit at the entrance of the bank. His eyes were red and he started crying again. "I'm scared of being poor, Old Li, I'm really scared of being poor! Now my family is in debt. My dad has a cerebral hemorrhage and is paralyzed. My mom fell at the construction site and hurt her back. They don't give us money. We have to borrow money to see a doctor! "
Li Du comforted him. "Don't think too much. Why would I look down on you?"
Tao Zhi Bo wiped his tears and said, "Poor people have short ambitions. Old Li, for the past two years, no one in our family has looked up to us. Our relatives don't dare to play with us anymore. They're afraid that I'll borrow money. "
"It's nothing. I don't blame them. My mom's waist surgery was borrowed. I haven't paid it back yet. 165,800 dollars. I remember it clearly!"
"This winter, I worked in town and saved 5,000 dollars to pay it back. I saved 5,000 dollars in one winter. It wasn't easy to save 5,000 dollars!"
"So you see, there's 300,000 dollars here. I can't bear to give it all to you! Really, you don't know how grateful I am to you. I still can't believe it. The broken copper coin that I grew up with actually sold for one million dollars? "
Li Du smiled and said, "It's 1.1 million."
Tao Zhi Bo grabbed his hand tightly and said, "Old Yao, I know the rules. I really can't bear to give you 300,000 dollars, but I have to give you 100,000 dollars as a token of gratitude. Otherwise, I'll be an ingrate!"
Li Du waved his hand and said, "I don't want it. I don't need it. My old classmate helped me …"
"No, you have to take it. You've helped my old classmate too much. You've saved my family!"
