Lin Mobai walked to the living room and asked Song Jiarou who was lying on the sofa: "Song Jiarou, do you have any way to get a batch of Chinese medicinal materials that are more than 500 years old?"
"What's wrong? Is the batch that grandpa prepared not good enough?" Song Jiarou's delicate body trembled and she asked worriedly.
"No, it's just that the older you are, the better the effect."
Song Jiarou frowned, lowered her head and thought for a while before answering, "Xiangshi Auction House in Xicheng District will soon exhibit a mysterious medicinal material that is 600 years old, but the price is a bit expensive."
"Besides, the influence of Hengtai Group is all over Xicheng District. It would be somewhat dangerous if we go with fewer people. If you want to go, I can send someone to go with you."
Lin Mobai shook his head slightly: "That's not necessary. I'll be less conspicuous if I'm alone. I can just take a taxi."
... ...
In the afternoon, Lin Mobai arrived in Xicheng District. Song Jiarou told him that there was an antique street in front of Xiangshi Auction House, so Lin Mobai planned to go there first.
"This Mingru mirror, passed down from my ancestors, was made in Jingdezhen, Jiangnan. It has a unique style. Come and take a look."
"Natural red agate, fair price, no cheating."
"Young man, I see that your forehead is black, and you may be plagued by disasters recently. I have a talisman that Master Jingwu has blessed. It will be a great deal if you buy it. It will definitely guarantee you promotion, wealth and glory."
A middle-aged man wearing a beret and a black coat stopped Lin Mobai and took out a golden cube from his arms mysteriously.
Lin Mobai smiled calmly and asked, "You guessed it right. How much is it?"
Seeing that Lin Mobai wanted to buy it, the middle-aged man patted his chest and replied: "Our amulet is not ordinary, it is gold-plated. If an ordinary person wanted to buy it, I would ignore him. It depends on our fate."
"Here's a lucky number for you, 8888. May you become rich in the future."
"It's too expensive, I don't want it." Lin Mobai waved his hand to refuse him, turned around and continued walking forward.
"No, just tell me a number and I'll listen." The middle-aged man took the lead and stopped in front of Lin Mobai.
"Nine dollars and nine cents is not enough."
"make a deal!"
Not long after, Lin Mobai arrived at the door of Xiangshi Auction House and walked into the store.
An auction house that can exhibit 600-year-old precious medicinal materials is indeed extraordinary. The interior of the store is magnificent and the decoration alone is extraordinary. On the first floor alone, there are countless porcelains, antiques, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, and gold and silver utensils.
The customers inside are all either rich or noble. Those who can afford to work in this industry are all wealthy, with savings alone at least in seven figures. However, it is the first time to see a high school student like Lin Mobai visiting an auction house.
Wandered around for a while.
Lin Mobai didn't see anything worthy of his attention, including the American ginseng and cordyceps worth hundreds of thousands in the display cabinet, which did not catch his eye.
He was just about to go upstairs to see if there was anything he liked when he was stopped by someone.
"Boy, I see you've been wandering around here for quite some time, but you haven't bought anything. Do you think the things in my Xiangshi Auction House are not up to standard?"
A middle-aged man in a suit and with a beer belly blocked the stairs and stopped Lin Mobai.
Looking up, I saw a few large characters written on the nameplate on his chest: "Lobby Manager, Liu Chenghao."
"I didn't see anything satisfactory." Lin Mobai said calmly.
Liu Chenghao sneered at the words and said, "What a joke! Xiangshi Auction House is the largest antique shop in Jiangshan City and even in South China. How could there be no one who is satisfied?"
"I see that you are a poor student, you can't afford it, so that's why you say that."
"The second floor is the auction room. It's already a great mercy for us to let you enjoy the sight downstairs. If you want to go up, you have to pay at least this amount."
As he spoke, he held up three fingers.
Three million!
To enter the auction room on the second floor, one must have a net worth of at least three million, and that’s just the threshold.
"If you don't have money, get out of here. Antiques are not something a poor student can afford."
"And I'm warning you here, don't have any evil thoughts. Xiangshi Auction House has always severely punished thieves. If I find out that you have dirty hands, you won't be able to keep your hands."
He treated Lin Mobai as a thief.
A blind thing.
Lin Mobai's expression turned cold: "How can you be sure that I have no money?"
"Haha, I've worked here for more than ten years. I can't say anything else, but I'm an expert at judging people."
Liu Chenghao glanced at Lin Mobai and said, "Boy, all you have on you is not even worth 200 yuan. I guess your pockets are cleaner than your face."
The commotion here attracted quite a few customers who came to watch the fun. After a while, they gathered together to discuss the matter, and some even pointed at Lin Mobai from time to time.
"Three million dollars, right? What if I can afford it?"
Liu Chenghao laughed and said, "If you can come up with three million, I will call you grandpa in front of everyone present."
Snap—
A card was thrown on Liu Chenghao's fat beer belly. It was the bank card that Song Jiarou gave to Lin Mobai.
"Oh my god, it's the Centurion Black Gold Card! The top bank card of American Express Bank."
"It is said that only bank special agents, celebrities, and billionaires are qualified to own it!"
Hearing the words of the crowd nearby, Liu Chenghao instinctively picked up the bank card that had slid down his stomach and onto the ground.
"No, how could a student like you have a black bank card? You must have stolen it from a big customer of Xiangshi Auction House." Liu Chenghao thought about it and immediately retorted.
Lin Mobai raised the corner of his mouth, then took out his mobile phone and dialed the VIP customer service number of American Express Bank on the back of his bank card and pressed the hands-free button.
"Hello, Mr. Lin Mobai, how can I help you?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Check your balance."
"Okay, this shows that your account has a balance of 10 million yuan, and a credit line of 30 million yuan."
etc!
"The customer service seemed to say that this boy's name is Lin Mobai, right?"
"Isn't that the young master of the Lin Group? In that case, he is fully qualified to own this card."
Lin Mobai laughed contemptuously: "Do you remember what you said before?"
Liu Chenghao once said that if he could come up with three million, he would call him grandpa in front of everyone.
"What bullshit."
Liu Chenghao's fat body trembled, and he roared loudly: "Boy, what the hell are you talking about? I don't know!"
Lin Mobai's eyes suddenly turned cold: "In front of so many people, do you want to cheat?"
"Fuck you, what can you do to me if you're unhappy?"
"The Lin Group is just a bankrupt and spent enterprise. I have Xiangshi Auction House behind me."
Liu Chenghao roared, his eyes filled with shame and anger.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will destroy you right now..."
Before he could finish, Lin Mobai took a step forward, flashed in front of Liu Chenghao, and kicked him in the stomach.
Boom boom boom.
Several dull noises suddenly resounded throughout the venue.
Liu Chenghao was kicked to the ground and rolled down the stairs.
puff-
A mouthful of blood spit out and almost splashed on Lin Mobai.
"You are just a guard dog, are you worthy of using Xiangshi as your backer?"
"Blind-eyed thing."
Lin Mobai spoke in a cold tone, looking down at Liu Chenghao as if he was looking down on an ant.
"Well, you... you dare to hit me?"
Liu Chenghao covered his aching stomach and shouted angrily, "Someone, come here! Someone dares to cause trouble at Xiangshi Auction House. Kill this guy for me."
Several burly men came over aggressively, ready to attack with ferocious looks.
"Stop it!" a strong voice came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and when the strong men saw the newcomer, they immediately lost their temper and bowed respectfully, "Second Master Pei."
