"Then keep it for yourself." Wang Yao got up and left.
"Hey, little brother, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let's discuss it again. How about this? I'll give you another 5,000 yuan. Can you take this book?" the peddler asked.
"3,000 yuan. Do you want to sell it or not?"
"Okay, 3,000 yuan it is. Take it that I've made a friend!" The peddler looked very sad.
Wang Yao paid the money happily.
"Little brother, don't you want to take a look? I still have a lot of good things here."
"No, thank you."
Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice.
"How much is this book?"
The person who asked the question was a man in his 30s. He had a medium build and a square face. He was wearing a somewhat old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit.
"This book?" The peddler pointed at the book in Wang Yao's hand.
"Yes."
"3,000 yuan. I've already sold it to this young man."
"Hello, sir. Can you sell it to me? Name a price." The man turned to Wang Yao and said.
"Sorry, I bought it for myself."
"5,000 yuan."
Wang Yao smiled.
"10,000 yuan?"
The peddler next to him was dumbfounded. What was going on? He had just sold it for less than three minutes, and the price had already tripled. He looked down at the three thousand yuan in his hand, and his complacent mood disappeared without a trace.
"I really bought it for myself. I'm sorry." He turned and left.
"30,000 yuan?"
The middle-aged man behind him hurriedly said.
Wang Yao waved his hand without looking back.
"Sigh, what a pity!" The middle-aged man sighed.
"Sir, this is my business card. If you want to sell this ancient book, you can contact me." He caught up with Wang Yao in a few steps and handed him a business card. There was only a simple name and a phone number on it.
Bo Jingshan.
"Okay." Wang Yao took the business card and left with Chen Ying.
"Boss?" the peddler asked Bo Jingshan softly.
"What's the matter?"
"Is that book really worth 30,000 yuan?"
"Hehe." Bo Jingshan smiled faintly. "In your eyes, three hundred isn't worth anything. In my eyes, it's a priceless treasure. It's a pity that we're not fated to meet."
After he finished speaking, Bo Jingshan smiled and left, leaving the stall owner standing there in a daze.
Sigh!
When he came back to his senses, he stomped his foot.
"Seriously, how great would it be if I could level up a little more!"
This was a classic example of greed.
In fact, when he first got this book, it was an old book that was weighed by catties. The total cost was less than 30 yuan. Being able to sell it for 3,000 yuan today was already a hundredfold profit.
"Doctor Wang, are you still interested in the art of Zhou Yi?"
On the way back, Chen Ying asked curiously.
"Well, yes," Wang Yao said with a smile.
When he was on the mountain, he had also studied things like Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Zhou Yi, Eight Trigrams, and so on. However, these things were relatively shallow. It was not like medicine that he had already entered the door. The next step was to reach a higher level. However, he was very interested in this. Not to mention anything else, the magical use of the unknown "Five Elements Illusory Array" and "Spirit Gathering Array" made him realize the mystery and magic in it. He was very interested in it.
Oh!
Chen Ying responded. At the same time, she secretly noted it down.
She was arranged by the Su family to be in charge of various matters during Wang Yao's stay in Beijing. In addition to taking care of his basic necessities, there was another very important task, which was to find out his personal preferences. She already knew two of them. One was that he liked tea, which was actually a little forced. The other was that he liked things related to "medical skills," which was a real hobby. Now, there was one more thing, which was that he was interested in things like "Zhou Yi."
The purpose of the Su family's people was very simple. They wanted to cater to his preferences.
They had secretly investigated him. He did not like money, power, or beauty. It was a little surprising that these things were placed on a young man. Such a young man was not said to be extinct in today's society. It was very rare. However, he also had superb medical skills. If they wanted to seek medical treatment and have a good relationship with him, they had to know what he wanted and liked. Then, they had to provide him with these things.
This way of thinking was a relatively universal point of view now.
As for the way of "treating people with sincerity," well, how to put it, it was not that there was no such way, but it had changed its meaning.
After buying the book, the two of them walked around the street again. They did not see anything they wanted. "
"Oh, by the way, is there any jade shop here?"
"Yes," Chen Ying said. "Do you want to buy jade?"
"Let's go and have a look."
Wang Yao wanted to buy a piece of jade for his mother. He accidentally heard his mother mention that someone had a jade bracelet. It was very beautiful.
Now that he had the opportunity, he wanted to buy a piece of jade for her in Beijing.
Then, Chen Ying took Wang Yao to a jewelry company. It was quite large.
"Oh, Miss Chen, it's rare to see you here!" The manager obviously knew Chen Ying. As soon as he saw her, he smiled and greeted her.
"Hello, Manager Li," Chen Ying said.
"Are you here to look at jewelry today?"
"Mr. Wang wants to have a look."
"Oh, what do you want to see, Mr. Wang?" The manager hurriedly asked. He was a shrewd person. He knew Chen Ying's background was not ordinary. Now that she had accompanied such an inconspicuous young man to buy things, the other party's identity was definitely not simple. He paid attention to it because such people had always been generous. It was also a kind of connections to be able to make.
"Jade."
"Jade. Okay, please take a look here." He immediately led Wang Yao to the side of the counter that was used to store jade jewelry.
"Take a look. Which one is suitable? Do you want to wear it yourself or give it to your family?"
"Give it to my family," Wang Yao said.
"My parents."
"Oh, is that a jade pendant or a bracelet?"
"A pair of bracelets and a jade pendant."
Wang Yao had already thought about it. He had enough money to buy a pair of bracelets for his mother and a jade pendant for his father.
"Okay, what do you think of this bracelet?" Then, Manager Li took out a pair of bracelets from the glass cabinet.
Wang Yao glanced at it and then stretched out his hand to touch it. It was cool to the touch and had a unique feeling. In addition, there was a special "Qi dynamic."
The bracelet was green and white. It looked good, but Wang Yao did not like it.
He looked at the glass cabinet again and his eyes fell on a pair of bracelets. The bracelet was pure white with only a few strands of green hair in it. It was like the water plants at the bottom of the river. It looked very vivid.
"What about that one?" He stretched out his hand and pointed.
"Oh, you are an expert!" He took out the jade bracelet.
This jade bracelet seemed to be not much different from the one just now.
"This is authentic Hetian jade!"
Manager Li introduced it professionally. There were many professional terms that Wang Yao did not understand. However, due to his cultivation, he was far more sensitive to these natural things than ordinary people.
"How much is this one?"
"450,000."
Hmm?
Wang Yao hesitated for a moment. It was not that he thought the price was too expensive, but he was not particularly familiar with the market of jade articles. He was not short of money, but he was not a fool.
"Manager Li, we are old friends. Can you make it cheaper?" Chen Ying looked at the bracelet and said.
"Yes, we are old friends. But Miss Chen, look at the quality of this jade. How about this? I will make it 420,000."
Wang Yao looked at Chen Ying and saw her nod.
"Okay, I want this bracelet."
"Okay!" Manager Li said with a smile.
He could get a lot of commission by selling this pair of bracelets.
He hurriedly found someone to pack it.
"Let me look at the jade pendant again."
After looking at a few pieces, he took a fancy to a jade pendant. It didn't look big, but the texture was better than the bracelet just now. Moreover, the quality of the jade was better. It was a first-class mutton fat white jade. The carving on it was also very good.
"I want this one."
The volume of this white jade was less than one-fifth of the jade bracelet, but the price was about the same as the bracelet. It was slightly more expensive.
All of a sudden, he had spent more than 800,000 yuan.
"This is my business card. Mr. Wang, if you have any other needs, just let me know," Manager Li said with a smile.
"Okay."
It was already past 5 p.m. when they came out of the jewelry store.
"Where else do you want to go?"
"No, let's go back."
"Okay."
After returning, Chen Ying was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen alone. Wang Yao was reading the Zhou Yi Reference in his room.
This book was an ancient book. According to Wang Yao's judgment, what the peddler said might be true. This book might really be from the Ming Dynasty because some of the descriptions vaguely mentioned the Ming Dynasty. This book was the author's understanding of the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes. There were also some special things, such as the art of divination.
Wang Yao was very fascinated by the book. The sky outside gradually darkened. He did not get out of the book until Chen Ying called him for dinner.
"Good book!" He gently closed the book and sighed.
This could be considered an unexpected gain for him.
After dinner, Wang Yao sat in the yard and closed his eyes to rest.
Buzz. Suddenly, he heard a subtle sound.
There was a mosquito.
He waved his hand and a stream of Qi rushed out.
The mosquito fell to the ground and did not make a sound.
The sound of footsteps.
There was a visitor.
It was a young man.
"He really came to Jing?"
The voice was bright and sunny.
The person who came was also a handsome young man.
He was the son of the Guo family, Guo Zhenghe.
"Mr. Guo." Chen Ying hurriedly greeted him.
"Tsk, Sister Ying, how many times have I said this? Can we change the way we address each other?" Guo Zhenghe said with a smile.
"I'll make tea."
"Hello, Brother Wang." Guo Zhenghe seemed to be very close to Wang Yao.
"Hello, Mr. Guo."
"Hey, are you trying to kick me out?" Guo Zhenghe was not happy. "Call me Xiao Guo or Zhenghe, or I'll leave immediately," Wang Yao said.
"Sit." Wang Yao smiled and pointed to the stool beside him.
"When did you come to Jing?"
