Chapter 144: Chapter 143 Barely Making It
He Mai’s brows furrowed slightly. There were few antiques and treasures in the world that she couldn’t figure out. She has been studying antiques since the age of ten, and although she’s only in her mid-twenties now, she’s quite renowned.
At the same time, she ranked thirty-sixth on the Binhai wealth list.
Seeing Lin Hao’s reaction, it came as quite a surprise that he didn’t recognize her.
However, she didn’t say much.
A guest of the Yu Family was not someone she could afford to provoke.
He Mai pushed her glasses up and professionally said:
"The quality is quite good. Such a bright emerald green, and even with a watery sheen, it should be carved from Emperor Green jade."
"With such quality, it must be from the Qing Dynasty or earlier."
Lin Hao nodded, his reaction to her confirmation wasn’t very strong.
But Nangong Wan’er on the side couldn’t hold back anymore: "So, how much is this thing worth?"
"Although there have been cases where jadeite has been auctioned for as much as 35 million, those were items redesigned and made by masters, with great ornamental value. Plus, the desire for beauty is common to all; of course, a woman will pay anything for what she loves."
While saying this, He Mai pointed at the thumb ring in front of her, the smile on her face only appearing when she saw the thumb ring, "This thumb ring, although of excellent quality, has a larger finger hoop than that of a normal male’s thumb. Moreover, jadeite is quite selective about its wearer. Barely sufficient, it is worth about fifteen million. With a starting auction price of ten million, it should sell for more."
"Ten million?" Nangong Wan’er’s mouth gaped open as she inhaled sharply, stiffly moving her gaze away from the thumb ring to look at Lin Hao.
This guy, could he really be worth billions?
Lin Hao, however, was unmoved, his eyes even showing a hint of disappointment. He didn’t expect a piece of jadeite to be worth less than one of his Kaiyuan Pills, and he casually said, "It’s barely acceptable."
He Mai’s brow furrowed. Worth tens of millions, yet in his eyes, it was only barely passable?
If Yu Shilong himself stood in front of her and said this, she could accept it. But Lin Hao was just a young man, and from her perspective, his words just showed that he held himself too high and did not understand the importance of money.
Another spoiled second-generation rich kid.
He Mai mumbled to herself, only rich kids like that wouldn’t care about money.
She had no interest in talking more with Lin Hao and asked, "Do you have any other items for auction?"
Of course, there were more, a lot more. He had the entire Xu Family’s warehouse with him, but he was worried that revealing them now might scare people. Those items were better left to Yu Shilong to handle.
He smiled faintly and shook his head, "No more."
"Alright then, this thumb ring will appear in the auction later, Mr. Lin, rest assured."
After giving a few more instructions, Lin Hao and Nangong Wan’er left. Just as they reached the door, Huang Wentian, who had been waiting outside, respectfully said,
"Mr. Lin, are you finished?"
"Mhm," Lin Hao nodded.
"I just received a call that Old Master Yu and the others have arrived. Mr. Lin, this way, please. I’ll take you to them."
Mittel Hotel was glorious and spacious. Under Huang Wentian’s guidance, it took a full ten minutes to arrive in front of a private room.
At the door, Huang Wentian straightened his attire and then knocked on the door with a smiling face: "Old Master Yu, Young Master Yu, Mr. Lin has arrived."
As his words fell, the door was opened from inside. Yu Shilong himself appeared, looking even more vigorous than a few days ago, as he looked at Lin Hao: "Lin Hao, you’ve finally come, come in, oh, who is this?"
"My friend," Lin Hao replied, "Nangong Wan’er."
"Hello, Elder Yu." At this moment, Nangong Wan’er had become obedient, and it was unclear whether it was due to Yu Shilong’s imposing aura, as she respectfully smiled and greeted him.
"Good, good, good, Lin Hao’s friend is my friend, please come in."
Inside the door, both Yu Jianghe and Yu Song were present. Seeing Lin Hao, they promptly got up and warmly welcomed him. Huang Wentian even keenly noticed... in front of Lin Hao, did the two of them seem like little brothers?
What exactly was the background of this youth?
Involuntarily, Huang Wentian thought of some legendary hidden family clans.
He quickly excused himself politely: "President Yu, Elder Yu, Mr. Lin, I have other matters to attend to downstairs, so I won’t disturb you any longer."
"Alright, you may go." Yu Shilong waved his hand, and Huang Wentian quietly withdrew.
"Bro Hao, did you bring the stuff we got that day?" As soon as Huang Wentian left, Yu Song excitedly said, "We can take this opportunity to deal with them at today’s auction."
But just as he finished speaking, Yu Shilong smacked Yu Song and then casually glanced at Nangong Wan’er.
He was startled.
The items from the Xu Family, being of dubious origin, even though they were not afraid, they could not so openly mention them in front of someone else.
"Um..." Nangong Wan’er suddenly said, "Brother Ri Tian, you guys chat, I want to go to the auction hall to join in the fun."
"Okay." Lin Hao nodded, and Nangong Wan’er immediately took her leave.
The private room where Lin Hao and the others were located had an extra-large floor-to-ceiling window, outside of which was the venue for this auction.
At this time, the venue was already filling up with many people, without a doubt, each one of them a multimillionaire elite.
In addition to the main hall, there were also some regular private rooms, VIP rooms, and nine supreme private rooms, as well as three emperor-level private rooms, which surrounded the auction area in a circular arrangement, descending from high to low.
Lin Hao and his companions were in one of the nine supreme private rooms.
After Nangong Wan’er left, even before Yu Song spoke, Lin Hao’s hand lightly swept across the air.
The next second, three large chests appeared in front of Lin Hao, each filled with all sorts of treasures.
They were the items obtained from the Xu Family that day.
Yu Jianghe and Yu Shilong were both instantly dumbfounded. They were not surprised by the three chests of items but by Lin Hao’s magic-like method.
Only Yu Song remained calm; after all, he had personally witnessed Lin Hao perform this trick the other day, when he made an entire room full of items disappear.
"Lin Hao, how did you do this?" Yu Shilong asked in shock.
Lin Hao casually replied, "It’s just a Spiritual Artifact that can hold things."
"What, a Spiritual Artifact!" Yu Song exclaimed in shock, "Bro Hao, you have a Spiritual Artifact?"
"I suppose so. I’ll give you one when I have the chance," Lin Hao said. He didn’t linger on this topic but continued, "Elder Yu, please help me send these items to the auction house for inventory, let’s auction them all off."
Yu Shilong recovered from his shock, his elderly eyes brimming with excitement, and spoke to Yu Song: "Xiao Song, this task is for you. Lin Hao said he will give you a Spiritual Artifact in the future, aren’t you quick-witted?"
"Got it, Grandpa!" Yu Song was so excited he almost jumped, as Lin Hao always kept his word.
In the entirety of Huaxia, there were only seven Spiritual Artifacts, indicating their preciousness? Such items, no matter how rich one was, might not necessarily be purchasable.
Now, with Lin Hao saying he would give him one, how could he not be thrilled? Even Yu Jianghe was excited.
At the same time, he felt fortunate that they hadn’t completely offended Lin Hao before, and his admiration for Yu Shilong’s judgment grew.
