Obtaining Five Million Dollars

While Sun Zhi was smashing the car and cursing Lin Yi, he was already sitting in Boss Zhuang's office with Old Wang and drinking tea.

"Come, Brother Lin, try this tea. This is good Dragon Well Tea that I got through my connections. The taste is quite authentic."

Looking at the small cup of orange tea in front of him, Lin Yi was not very interested. What he wanted to do now was to quickly change the porcelain cup in his backpack to money.

Although his father usually liked to drink tea, he had not inherited his father's calm personality.

It was fine to drink tea, but Lin Yi couldn't spend an hour fiddling with tea leaves.

However, despite his lack of interest, he could still tell if the tea leaves were good or bad.

He picked up the teacup and pretended to taste it like his father. He immediately felt that this tea was much better than the tea his father often drank. At the very least, it was fragrant.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have some understanding of the tea culture. Haha, it's really rare for someone your age to master so much."

Seeing Lin Yi's very standard actions, Elder Wang's eyes immediately lit up. At the same time, he thought even more highly of Lin Yi.

"Haha, Elder Wang, you're too kind. How would I know anything about tea? Isn't this showing off in front of an expert like you? However, Brother Zhuang's tea is really good. It leaves a fragrance in my mouth and has a lingering aftertaste. Haha, if I get used to Brother Zhuang's tea leaves, I won't be able to drink other tea leaves in the future."

The few of them chatted and laughed. No matter what they talked about, Lin Yi could always reply. This was naturally related to the nurturing of Lin Yi's father, an intelligent group leader of a state-owned enterprise.

Before Lin Yi could sense it, Elder Wang and Boss Zhuang looked at each other and saw the praise in each other's eyes.

At a young age, there was no need to mention his handsome and sunny appearance. He knew how to read antiques and know the culture of tea, mainly because of his calm temperament.

Half an hour had passed since he came up, but the other party remained calm and did not mention the porcelain cup. It was obvious that this was not a child educated by an ordinary family.

After exchanging glances, Boss Zhuang gently put down the teacup in his hand and finally went straight to the topic of the day.

"Haha, Brother Lin still has to go to class in the afternoon, right? Then, let's hurry up and talk about serious matters. After your college entrance examination is over, let's get together. Let's talk about the price of this porcelain cup first. If you trust us, let Elder Wang name the price."

After saying that, Boss Zhuang directly looked at Elder Wang and continued, "Uncle Wang, I feel very close to Brother Lin, so I won't bother using the tricks of the business world. Just tell us how much this thing is worth. As long as Brother Lin agrees, we'll directly buy it."

According to his business habits, Boss Zhuang should not say this. Before the other party asked for the price, he had to hear Lin Yi's quote first. If Lin Yi's price was low, it could be considered that they had picked up a bargain.

However, just as Boss Zhuang had said, he felt that Lin Yi was someone from his circle. Coupled with the fact that his income was not mainly from Antique Pavilion, he directly said these words.

After hearing Boss Zhuang's words, Elder Wang smiled bitterly. This was not the first time Boss Zhuang had done this. Most of the time, he even wondered how such a boss could thrive in the antique industry.

"Then I'll be straightforward. In 2009, a similar porcelain cup was auctioned off at the Shanghai Brind Auction House. I happened to be at the scene at that time, and the transaction price was 2.71 million."

"Three months ago, the owner of that Yuanqing Flower Vase sold it to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion of the Pan Family Garden for 4.3 million. However, Little Friend Lin's item is very well preserved and its quality was much better than that one."

"Therefore, I estimate that if this porcelain is auctioned, the final price should be around 4.8 million. Of course, if you encounter a fanatic buyer, the price can exceed 5 million."

After hearing Elder Wang's words, Lin Yi nodded to himself. Although he did not know about the latest transaction of 4.3 million, he had seen the price of 2.71 million online in 2009.

After more than ten years, this thing would appreciate greatly.

According to his calculations, his estimated price was more than four million. After all, he would be charged a commission if he went to the auction. When the time came, the price would probably be this high.

Coupled with the system, there was no need for him to spend a few months waiting for the auction.

When Boss Zhuang heard this, he directly nodded and said, "Alright, let's pay five million. If Brother Lin is willing, I'll transfer the money to you now!"

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect the other party to directly give him five million.

However, in the next moment, he understood that Boss Zhuang was planning for the future. Lin Yi had said that he had a few antiques earlier.

To be honest, he did not know why the other party believed that he had other antiques.

"Hehe, since Brother Zhuang is so generous, let's do that. However, Brother Zhuang, do you have any cash? Give me 50,000 in cash. The remaining 4.95 million will be digital."

Next, Boss Zhuang asked for Lin Yi's bank account number and used the office computer to transfer the money to him.

After completing the operation, Boss Zhuang laughed.

"Haha, 4.95 million has already been sent, Brother. Take a look. In addition, this is $50,000 in cash."

When Lin Yi heard this, he reached out to take the $50,000 in cash and waved his hand.

"Sigh, based on the contact just now, I still trust Brother Zhuang very much. Forget about the checkup. Alright, I still have to return to school in the afternoon, so I won't stay any longer. I still have to deal with your Manager Sun later."

Trust? That did not exist. How could there be absolute trust in an adult society? The reason why Lin Yi did not check was completely because he did not have a phone in his pocket.

Coupled with the fact that he had been watching from the side when the money was transferred, he deliberately pretended to be calm.

However, when they saw Lin Yi's indifferent attitude towards five million, Boss Zhuang and the other two immediately thought highly of him.

Gently weighing the five stacks of notes in his hand, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth curled up. Now that the antique was sold, the matter with Sun Zhi was about to be settled.
