Chapter 518 Sea God's Eye

The four of us were all attracted by seeing such a beauty at first glance, and couldn't take our eyes off it. For a while, we didn't hear what the proprietress said clearly.At this moment, the beautiful boss made a gesture of invitation, and then uncovered the piece of blue silk.

The thing covered under the silk was immediately revealed. At this moment, I found that it was a bead the size of a longan, slightly blue.I am quite knowledgeable in the field of antiques, but for a while I couldn’t tell what it was. Flow, looks very special.

Just then, the game begins.

The little girl explained the rules of the game to us before.That is, for each treasure, the boss will give a corresponding quotation, and the price will be written in advance and put in an envelope.Those who participate in the activity will estimate the price within a prompt range, and whoever estimates the price closest in the end will give the treasure to him.Of course, VIPs are also divided into levels. The higher the level, the more times you can evaluate and the greater the chance of winning.

The four of us can only watch it, and we are not eligible to participate.

At this time, the rest of the diners probably had already started to write estimates. I took a quick glance and found that the people who came here today were mostly elderly people and women. I don't know why.At this moment, the one-eyed dragon stared at the treasure in the center of the field, as if thinking about something, suddenly, with a look of enlightenment, he said: "This thing is the heart of the ocean."

Heart of the Ocean?

Tofu asked, "Why are you using it?"

The one-eyed dragon said: "The heart of the ocean is a modern name. It is more literary and artistic. In the past, this thing was called the sea god's eye. It is said that in ancient times, two beauties, Feiyan and Hede, used this thing. How did it come into being?" I don’t know, it’s said to be the excrement of some unknown creatures in the deep sea, similar to stones. Some people have studied this thing in modern times, and it is said that it is rich in some kind of substance, and it is very thick, it can resist aging, beautify, It is said that if it is a disfigured person, such as the scar on your face now." He pointed to the unhealed scar on Tofu's face, and said, "Cut the scar again, and then apply the contents of the Sea God's Eye, to ensure that Not a single scar."

Tofu said: "No wonder they are all women and old men. Why do you think these old men are joining in the fun?"

While eating, Harichagai said, "I want to get rid of the wrinkles so that I can pick up girls again."

Cyclops gave a thumbs up and said, "Good idea."

Tofu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said to me: "Old Chen, I have an idea. Although I don't like yin and yang faces, this kid has really helped us a lot. You said he went out wearing a mask all day. Wearing a mask, it's quite pitiful, is there any way you can get this thing, let's give it to Zhuan Rui."

It's a good idea, but we can't grab it, can we?As soon as I changed my mind, I called the previous waiter. She pursed her lips with a smile when she heard what we said, and said, "Most of the people who come here to eat today are here for the heart of the ocean, and they all want the green channel." , but didn’t give it, right? Since you want it, why don’t you come to participate, the evaluation time is one hour, and it’s still too late, you can apply for a VIP consumption card from us, deposit [-] in advance, and you can participate immediately.”

Since it is for friends, we are not stingy. After applying for a card, the little girl gave us a valuation tag and reminded us that the valuation range is between 20 and 400 million. The above standard Once you have your membership number, we just need to fill in the price.

Tofu pointed at the one-eyed dragon and said that since you know it, you can estimate a reliable price.Cyclops was dumbfounded, saying that I knew the origin of this thing. This thing is rare in the market, and it is a rare treasure. In ancient times, most of it was brought ashore by the tide. In recent years, it is estimated that the sea nets are too dense , or the organisms under the sea no longer grow stones, which are rare anyway, who knows the price?
Harichagai took out his mobile phone and said, "If you don't understand, ask Baidu." Then he took out his mobile phone and started searching. Unexpectedly, he found something. According to the information on Baidu, the last time Poseidon was born was in 12. Before, it was sold at a price of 16.

Tofu said: "It sold for 12 yuan 16 years ago, but now the price has increased tenfold, and the price of antiques has risen even more. Now, no matter what, it must be more than 160 million yuan?" After discussing for a long time, we gave a conservative estimate of 160 million yuan.

After handing over the valuation card, Doufucai came to his senses and said, "We know how to use Baidu, so don't others know how to do so?" Besides, these old customers seem to have some connections, and they know what treasures to display in advance, and the price must have been estimated , Ouch, we definitely have no chance of winning."

I ignored the tofu and continued drinking tea.The one-eyed dragon saw that I was calm and calm, and said, "Master, it seems that you have a plan in your mind?"

In fact, I did move my hands and feet, but I don't know if it worked or not.

We drank tea and sat quietly, and after a while, it was time to reveal the secrets, and the collected valuation tags were displayed one by one, with clear numbers written on them with Parker pens, and the written prices were also varied.Not long after the quotation was completed, the female boss opened the envelope written in advance in front of everyone, and showed the price inside.

The three of Tofu and Cyclops stretched their necks, for fear of misreading, they saw that the yellow cardboard was turned over and showed it to everyone, and the price was impressively written at 160 million.

Cyclops took a deep breath and said, "160 million... Hey, it seems that our price is the closest?" Just as he finished speaking, the boss had already started to give a speech, thanking you for participating, etc., and finally said: "Congratulations to the owner of room six. guest."

We are room number six.

The three people in the room looked at me in astonishment, as if I had seen a ghost, I secretly smiled in my heart, trying to show off, so I pretended to be calm, Tofu was in a hurry, clasped my shoulders and shook vigorously, saying: "Quickly tell me you're moving!" What's wrong? Damn, do you have an affair with that female boss?"

I patted his hand away and said, "You have to dare to say this in front of Wen Min, and see how I deal with you."

The one-eyed dragon gave me a thumbs up and said, "Master, how did you do it?" Ha Richagai seemed to have remembered something, and said, "Is it related to the few strokes you added later?" Nodding, he said, "After writing the estimate, I added a line of words in the corner with a pencil. Those who sit far away cannot see the small words on it."

Just as we were talking, there was a knock on our door, and then the beautiful and classic female boss walked in slowly, followed by a man in a black suit, holding a wooden box in his hand.She smiled slightly and said, "Can I sit down?"

Before I could answer, the three of Tofu, who were not up to snuff, said hastily: "Please sit down, please sit down." Just like Zhu Bajie meeting the Bone Demon.

She sat down slowly, with a soft and melodious voice, which made people feel itchy, and she was not polite. She took out my previous price tag from the tray and put it on the table.In the lower corner of the huge black numbers in between, there are a few faint small characters written with a pencil. Tofu looked at it and couldn't help saying: "Damn it, pay twice the reserve price!"

The female boss smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, my original reserve price was 180 million. According to your conditions, then you should pay me 360 million." Tofu stammered, "Our deposit is only about [-] yuan. , keep the delivery, no money."

I said to myself, this idiot, have people asked how much money you have in savings?With just one word, you have confessed your old background.Thinking about it this way, he secretly stomped on the kid under the table.He also knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he hissed and gasped, not daring to cry out in pain.

Harichagai smiled and said: "More than 300 million, not much, not much, it's trivial. But I'm curious, isn't your reserve price written in advance? Then, how did you come to cooperate with our quotation? Don't tell me you are playing magic."

The boss smiled and said: "Business owners naturally have their own set of things, so you don't need to worry about this. Since you have money, then transfer the money, pay with one hand, and deliver with the other."

Tofu was about to cry, looked at me, and complained with his eyes: Where shall we go for more than 300 million yuan?
In fact, this kind of playing games to give away treasures is a means of hype, and those who participate in the hype are all rich people, otherwise they would not be able to become VIPs in this place.This female boss looks like Sister Lin from the sky, but in fact she is also a businessman, and if she is a businessman, she will make money.I was just trying, but I didn't expect it to work.Of course I can't afford the 300 million right now, but this money is nothing to Zhuan Rui.

I said: "You have to let me check whether it is true or not?"

"Okay." She nodded slightly, and the man next to her put down the things and lifted the silk, revealing the sea god's eyes.I gave Cyclops a wink, he has great eyesight, he immediately raised his palm, and after a while, he nodded and said: "The real thing."

I nodded and signaled the boss to give me the account number, and then called Zhuan Rui. After explaining the situation, Zhuan Rui's usually lukewarm voice was slightly agitated, and said, "Thank you for helping me pay attention. It will arrive in 10 minutes." Although Zhuan Rui usually doesn't mind his appearance, as long as he is a normal person, there is no one who really doesn't mind. Although 300 million is a lot, it is not worth mentioning to Zhuan Rui. What he lacks is not money, but money and no place to buy it.
