90. Bull Gold of 110 Million

 gram is worth hundreds of thousands, is that right?

After finally tasting the tea, Jason Liu was eager to wrap things up and left early. He couldn't really enjoy the excellent tea!

"Mr. Zane, look at these photos on my phone! They show the larger and more valuable piece of gold I mentioned!"

Saying this, Jason Liu handed his phone to the other party and explained, "This piece of gold, known as 'dog head gold' or 'bull gold' because it resembles a bull, weighs 8.73 kg. It's definitely a rare treasure from the past decade!"

Without a doubt, Zane Boting was completely captivated by the lifelike bull gold in the picture.

"It's perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

However, he quickly wondered if such a perfect bull gold was actually natural gold. Some doubt lingered in his mind about its authenticity, making him a bit hesitant.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Mr. Liu, your bull gold is genuinely valuable, and its worth is extremely high. Well, since you've brought me here, I'll invite our chairman to come and talk directly to my dad. What do you think?"

Jason Liu considered this and nodded in agreement. He declined Zane Boting's offer for a ride and took a taxi back to the villa to fetch the "bull gold." Afterward, he took another taxi to Jinfuyuan Company, still holding the shoebox bag in his hand.

Meanwhile, Zane Boting, who had personally seen Jason Liu off, immediately called his father to update him on the situation.

"Wait for me! I'll head to the company right away!" Zane Yanzheng said before hanging up the phone and asking his driver to take him to the company.

After spending more than an hour, Jason Liu returned to Zane Boting's office. Alongside Zhang Boting was an elderly man in casual clothes with white hair and a ruddy complexion.

"Mr. Liu, let me introduce you," Zane Boting said, sending the secretary away. "This is Mr. Yanzheng, the chairman of Jinfuyuan Company, and my father!"

He then introduced the older man beside him, "This is Uncle Yang, our company's chief appraiser!"

Jason Liu humbly greeted both men.

"Mr. Liu, you're truly young and promising," Zane Yanzheng complimented him before eagerly asking about the bull gold.

"Look, here it is!"

Jason Liu performed the familiar routine once more, retrieving the shoebox and revealing the natural gold nugget that resembled a bull.

At this point, no one cared that Jason Liu used a shoebox to hold such a precious item; they were all captivated by the bull gold.

"Mr. Liu, may I appraise it?" Uncle Yang, the chief appraiser, asked, though he tried to appear calm. Inside, he was quite excited. If this bull gold turned out to be real, it would create a significant stir in the entire collection industry!

Jason Liu stepped aside to allow Yang to conduct his appraisal. Yanzheng and his son, Zane Boting, were eager to examine it but patiently waited for Uncle Yang's evaluation.

Uncle Yang expertly picked up the bull gold, scrutinized it with a magnifying glass, and weighed it on a professional scale.

--8730g

"It's real!"

In less than ten minutes, Yang confirmed the authenticity of the bull gold. Hearing this, Yanzheng's breath quickened as he put on gloves to inspect it himself.

Although Zane Boting was also keen to get his hands on it, his father didn't let him touch it.

After another ten minutes, Chairman Zane of Jinfuyuan carefully set down the bull gold, looked at Jason Liu with bright eyes, and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Liu, I want to buy your bull gold. Please tell me your price!"

Hearing this direct request made Jason Liu a bit nervous about naming a price.

"Well, Chairman Zane, to be honest, I'm not very familiar with the market for this item. But I know that this vivid bull gold is much more valuable than ordinary bull gold.

Moreover, it's quite heavy and extremely rare. Since next year is the Year of the Ox, if I hold onto it, it will definitely attract significant attention at an auction.

With that, Jason Liu watched for their reactions. However, Yanzheng remained calm, showing no signs of interruption or disapproval, which left Jason Liu uncertain about what the other man was thinking.

After all, dealing with such an experienced businessman wasn't easy.

Taking a deep breath, Jason Liu quoted a price he believed was fair: "110 million. If you agree to this price, I will sell you the bull gold!"

After stating his price, he looked at them, a bit anxious, fearing he might have asked for too much.

However, Yanzheng's smile remained unchanged. In contrast, Zane Boting couldn't contain himself and exclaimed, "Mr. Liu, your offer is too high! Even the 3,560g dovetail gold that sold at auction a few years ago went for 45 million! While this piece is larger and looks fantastic, it won't sell for 110 million!"

Calculating based on the pure gold weight of 8.73 kg at 350 yuan per gram, it would be worth over 3.05 million. Jason Liu's asking price of 110 million was over 36 times the market value for that weight of gold!

"I don't think it's too expensive!"

Jason Liu shook his head, adamant. "With your family's connections, if this bull gold is put up for auction at the end of the year, it will definitely attract the top collectors, and getting over 100 million will be easy!"

At this point, Jason Liu spread his hands in a helpless gesture. "I simply don't have the same network as you do. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to sell such an incredibly rare bull gold for 110 million!"

"But..." Although Zane Boting was internally convinced, he felt the need to negotiate.

"Enough! Our family is buying this bull gold!" Yanzheng made a swift decision. He recognized that Jason Liu had an eye for valuable pieces. He knew that if this bull gold went to auction at the end of the year, it could fetch at least 150 million yuan, and he was certain of it.
