Xiao Jing and Wang Fang looked at Yang Xuan strangely. They couldn't figure out why he called the old man Old Man Wang. Was it because the old man's surname was Wang?
Of course, the old man's surname wasn't Wang. In fact, what Yang Xuan said was a code word on this street. It meant that if you were an insider, you had to give a real price.
Only those who had been here for a long time would know this code word. Because there were so many people who made a living on this street, sometimes it was inevitable that they would make mistakes. So slowly, such a code word was passed down.
In fact, there weren't many people who knew this code word. In recent years, a large number of secondhand dealers had poured into Er Ye Street. These people ate in an unsightly manner and broke a lot of rules. Many of the older generation couldn't stand it, so no one told them about it. After a long time, only the older generation knew about it.
Yang Xuan also accidentally learned about such a local secondhand dealer in his previous life.
However, as long as you said this code word, the boss would know that you were also a beggar on this street. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't cheat you.
A sliver of doubt flashed across the old man's face as he looked at Yang Xuan, as if he was puzzled by the latter's age. He should not be someone who made a living in this industry. However, when he thought about the possibility that he was the nephew of that old ghost, he did not find it strange.
"Give me three hundred." The old man leaned back and said.
This piece of broken jade had been in his stall for a long time. It was a gift from someone when he went to the countryside to buy things. He didn't spend any money at all. It was good that he could sell it for three hundred yuan.
Of course, this was also because Yang Xuan said the code word. If it were a fat sheep, he would definitely boast about it until the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
"Deal!" Yang Xuan quickly took out three hundred yuan and was about to hand it to the old man.
Xiao Jing and Wang Fang both looked at the gray white jade in Yang Xuan's hand strangely. They didn't know why he wanted to buy it.
Wang Fang was even more confused. This piece of jade looked like a piece of plastic. It wasn't jade at all.
However, her friend's family was in this business, so she more or less knew the rules of the industry. She knew that once the two of them came to an agreement, the business would be considered a success. No one else could say anything. Otherwise, it would be breaking the rules.
Moreover, 300 yuan was not a lot. Even if she bought a fake, she would not feel the pinch, so she did not say anything.
"Wait!" Yang Xuan had just handed over the money when the young man with the buzz cut next to him shouted.
In fact, Yang Xuan had already noticed that when he picked up the piece of jade, the young man and woman's expressions had changed.
Just now, Yang Xuan had already noticed that their gazes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at this piece of jade.
Previously, they had been putting on airs and asking for the price of other items. Their goal was to obtain these two pieces of jade. Now that Yang Xuan had snatched them away, how could they be willing?
"Oh?" Yang Xuan didn't care. He threw the money to the old man and held the jade in his hand. Only then did he look at the two young people with a faint smile.
Just now, when he was very far away, he already felt that there was something fishy about this piece of jade.
He could feel that there was a trace of inexplicable power in this rough and ordinary looking piece of white jade.
Of course, this trace of power was extremely weak. In Yang Xuan's opinion, it was not worth mentioning.
However, there was an inexplicable power sealed in the white jade. Of course, he had to study it.
"Friend, we saw this piece of jade first." The buzz cut man's expression changed and he said in a deep voice.
Yang Xuan said lightly, "Nonsense. You weren't looking at these two items just now."
The man himself knew that he was being unreasonable by saying this.
Just now, he did not even ask for the price, let alone look at it. How could he say that he saw it first? However, this piece of white jade was too important to him. He really could not give it up.
The young woman's expression also became ugly. She did not expect to be snatched away.
The buzz cut man's face was livid. He thought for a while and said, "How about this? I'll give you 500 yuan. You transfer this piece of jade to me."
The old man behind the stall slapped his thigh fiercely. He was very regretful. With his shrewdness, how could he not see that he had made a mistake? The value of this piece of jade was definitely far more than 300 yuan.
"Ah!" He slapped his thigh regretfully.
"I'm not selling." Yang Xuan shook his head and pulled Xiao Jing away.
"Wait." The buzz cut man hurriedly shouted, "1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, transfer it to me. You bought it for 300 yuan. 1,000 yuan is already several times the price."
At this time, the old man behind the stall was very regretful.
As soon as the man's voice was loud, it attracted the attention of the people around him. At first glance, it seemed that someone had taken advantage of the situation. They slowly gathered around. In just a moment, more than a dozen people had gathered. There was no lack of other stall owners among them.
Most of these people knew each other. At this time, an old stall owner shouted, "Wu Changfa, you've made a mistake this time."
The old man behind the stall was called Wu Changfa. He was a stall owner on this street for decades. He was known for his sharp eyes. He did not expect that he would make a mistake this time. Many people who were familiar with him were laughing at him.
People of the same trade were enemies. This saying was not wrong at all.
The old man Wu Changfa's face was as black as charcoal. He had already regretted smashing the jar. Now that he was being laughed at, he almost fainted.
"I'm not selling." Yang Xuan was unmoved. He still said the same thing.
"You, don't push your luck." The buzz cut man's eyes were red as he said fiercely.
The woman next to him was also red with anger. She said loudly, "How much do you want before you're willing to sell it?"
Yang Xuan's eyes flashed. He said, "100,000 yuan."
"Wow."
The onlookers were in an uproar.
Although 100,000 yuan was not a lot, it was a huge sum of money for these people who set up stalls to beg for food. However, they all thought that Yang Xuan had no intention of selling at all. He was just asking for an exorbitant price to make the two of them retreat.
Unexpectedly, although the young man's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, he did not refute. Instead, he lowered his head and thought seriously.
At this time, everyone saw the knack of it.
Those who could survive on this street were all people who were good at reading people's body language.
When the young man hesitated, everyone immediately understood. This piece of crudely carved white jade really had a big background. Even if it was not worth 100,000 yuan, it was not far from it.
A deal worth 100,000 yuan was definitely a big deal for people like them. Therefore, at this time, they were not in the mood to laugh at Wu Changfa. Instead, they looked at him with some sympathy.
If it was a loss of one or two thousand yuan, three or five thousand yuan, they could accept it. Those who were close to Wu Changfa could even laugh at him and treat it as a lesson.
However, this was a deal worth 100,000 yuan. It was not just a matter of teaching him a lesson. If it was not handled well, Wu Changfa's reputation would be ruined.
After all, if he gave away an item worth 100,000 yuan as trash for 300 yuan, who would dare to buy from him in the future? Wouldn't they be afraid of buying a fake?
At this time, Wu Changfa felt a sweetness in his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"100,000 yuan is too much." The buzz cut man's face was ugly. He was very regretful. If he had known, he would not have pretended. He had to play hard to get with Wu Changfa, which led to the current situation.
Novels killed people.
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
If he had directly bought it just now, even if Wu Changfa saw through his purpose, he would have at most lost one or two thousand yuan, which was far better than the tens of thousands now.
"You, you're asking for too much." The long-haired woman was so angry that her eyes were red.
