"If it weren't for today's difficult times, I wouldn't have pawned this thing. This would be a disgrace to my ancestors."
Seeing the wooden box in his hand, the boss looked with a hint of disdain.
"You poor people are like this. You think that a broken thing will become valuable after being passed down for hundreds of years. This is just a broken wooden box."
"Even if you wait until your next generation, this will still be a broken wooden box and worthless at all. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible."
"You are just some mourning stars. You broke my vase just now, and now you dare to stay here. I will not do your business today."
"Don't talk about my place. Even if you put this broken wooden box anywhere, it won't be sold. Let's go!"
Without waiting for the old man to say anything else, the shopkeeper kicked them both out.
Looking at the lonely figures of the old man and the young man, Li Yiyang quickly chased after them.
"Wait a minute, uncle, can you show me the box in your hand?"
After hearing what he said, the old man quickly handed it over.
Although he didn't know what Li Yiyang's intention was in asking him, the old man still saw that Li Yiyang had just opened his mouth to help them out.
After getting the box, Li Yiyang looked at it a few times and asked, "How much are you going to sell this for?"
The old man licked his dry lips, "I don't know either. According to my grandfather, this has been passed down for more than four hundred years."
"I don't know much about these things, but to me, this thing really doesn't look like something valuable."
"What the boss said just now makes some sense. If this thing can really be sold, I don't expect to sell it for much. It can be sold for seven to eight hundred thousand."
After hearing what he said, Li Yiyang said: "I will give you three million, and I will transfer it to you now."
"What did you say?
Young man, are you kidding me?"
The old man opened his mouth wide, as if he had heard something terrible, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
This is indeed just a wooden box. Even if it is his family heirloom, he has never thought of selling it for such a high price.
"I'm not kidding you, let's go to the bank now and I'll transfer the money to you."
Li Yiyang also knew that what he said did sound like a liar, but when the money was transferred to his account, the old man should not be suspicious.
The old man was still a little hesitant, "But...even if you want to buy it, I can't sell it to you at such a high price."
"This thing is not worth such a high price at all. If you buy it, won't you be losing money?"
Li Yiyang smiled, "How much is this thing worth? It's not about the people who are selling it, but the people who are buying it. I think it's worth more than three million."
The old man opened his mouth wide, and said after a moment: "It still doesn't work. I know young man that you are kind-hearted, otherwise you wouldn't have helped me out just now."
"If you really want to help, I will sell this thing to you at the price I estimated before, 700,000."
Li Yiyang shook his head, "Old man, you yourself said that this thing has a history of more than four hundred years. The shopkeeper just now was just deceiving you."
"You see he is blackmailing us at will, without finding any clear evidence, and just wants to slander us. How can he be a good person?
Don’t listen to what he says.”
"You can't buy this box for even 3 million, so if you sell it to someone else for 700,000, you'll suffer a big loss."
The old man didn't know what to say for a moment. Let alone three million, even if it was sold to others for 700,000, no one would buy it!
But he saw that Li Yiyang didn't seem to be telling lies to him, so he was suddenly in a dilemma.
Wen Xiaohui said: "Old man, my husband knows these things very well. Besides, even if we want to help, we can't give you money in vain!"
"Just listen to us! Didn't you just say that your wife was sick and you still had to support your grandson?
With these three million, you shouldn’t have to worry about it for the time being.”
Then the couple half pushed and half pulled the old man, and walked towards the outside of the Antique City.
An An was also encouraging them. Although she didn't know what exactly this was going to do, she knew that her father would never harm them.
After a while, they went out and arrived at a nearby bank.
The old man was still very stubborn, "Young man, I really can't ask you for three million for this broken wooden box. If I accept it, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
His expression was very sincere. Seeing this situation, Li Yiyang sighed.
"Then I will transfer one million to you first, and you can leave me my contact information. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can contact me at any time."
After finishing speaking, Li Yiyang handed the old man his business card, and then bent down and handed one to the child.
After a while, when he looked at the transfer, the old man was completely stunned.
Originally, he just came out to try his luck today, but he didn't expect that this thing would really sell.
After getting the money, he was so grateful to Li Yiyang.
After a while, the two people left here gratefully, which made Li Yiyang feel a little embarrassed.
After they left, Wen Xiaohui said, "Are you too bold to talk like a lion? Are you going to give someone three million?"
Li Yiyang shook his head, "Do you think I gave him money out of sympathy?"
"Is not it?"
Wen Xiaohui asked in confusion, this wooden box didn't look worth much.
Li Yiyang said: "There is a mystery in this thing. It is far more than just a wooden box. If the things inside are taken out, its value may be hundreds of millions."
Wen Xiaohui's eyes widened, "You're not kidding me, are you?
Just such a wooden box, can it cost hundreds of millions?"
"If it's really worth so much, then this old man doesn't have to live in such poverty."
Looking at his groveling look just now, I knew that his family must not be spacious. If there was such a good heirloom at home, it could at least be used for emergencies.
Li Yiyang said: "Not just anyone can see the value of this thing. Let's go back to the hotel first and tell you later."
What a coincidence, he happened to know this thing, otherwise he would have missed it today.
Li Yiyang remembered that at an auction, this thing sold for 340 million, of course that was many years later.
After a while, the family of three returned to the hotel, and Li Yiyang took out the wooden box.
"It seems that it is not easy for us to open it casually. We need some professionals. There is a mezzanine inside this thing."
"After this mezzanine is opened, there will be a gold medal inside. This gold medal has a great background."
