Seeing that Kulis was already intimidated, Big Gold Tooth pressed his advantage.
"Kulis, you know, there have been too many friends from abroad lately, and my goods are always in short supply. I also know you're not short on money."
"But, to befriend you, after all, our Xia country is the Yamato people. So, for the sake of our traditional virtues, I'll make an exception. This jade pendant, I'll sell it for this price."
Big Gold Tooth held up one finger.
"How much?"
Everyone held their breath.
"One hundred thousand. Consider it making a friend. You can ask around, when has Big Gold Tooth ever sold trash for less than a hundred thousand?"
Big Gold Tooth said with a serious face.
Upon hearing the price, Kulis didn't hesitate.
"Okay, deal!"
Kulis said directly.
In his opinion, such an amazing item would cost at least two hundred thousand, but Big Gold Tooth only asked for a hundred thousand.
He was truly kind, perhaps genuinely wanting to be friends with him. How could Kulis refuse?
"Brother Jin, how about this, as my first Xia country friend, I can't let you lose money. I'll give you one hundred and fifty thousand, as long as you have any more good things, sell them to me."
Kulis said earnestly.
He held the jade pendant, unable to put it down.
Big Gold Tooth had guessed his zodiac sign, and combined with his previous words, he had already captured Kulis's heart with the jade pendant.
"Old Hu, this is truly ruthless."
"Selling trash for one hundred and fifty thousand, and five thousand of it was given to him. This..."
Fatty was deeply shocked again.
This was even more impactful than the last auction.
So, money could be earned like this?
Hu Bayi also secretly admired Big Gold Tooth's eloquence and persuasive skills, calling them truly remarkable.
He used to say that foreigners were foolish, but that wasn't true.
On the contrary, they were quite clever, but they just didn't understand Xia country's culture.
Moreover, their ingrained arrogance made them disdain to understand Xia country's culture.
Yet, they had a fondness for antiques, which led to the rumor of them being foolish.
However, despite this, foreigners had a strong sense of financial management. Even if it was fake, they could still sell it as real when they returned.
At the scene, countless people were stunned.
[Good heavens, this Big Gold Tooth, good heavens.]
[Master Jin, please take me as your disciple! I want to be your apprentice!]
[If this were a pyramid scheme, I'd be afraid of being scammed myself.]
[Why do I feel like what he said makes sense?]
[It really does. If only the weasel was replaced with a mouse.]
[If he worked in sales, wouldn't earning millions a year be a dream?]
[As expected, capable people shine everywhere they go.]
A wave of noisy sounds came from the scene.
Clearly, they were shocked by Big Gold Tooth's persuasive skills.
Meanwhile, over at the internet celebrity antique appraisal expert's side.
"See, I told you this guy only knows how to scam people."
"Just laugh it off, don't take it too seriously."
"However, a person like this might have made a name for himself in this era."
"I hate fraudsters the most. No wonder our Xia country's antique culture has such a bad reputation."
Fatty and the other two were discussing.
Especially after seeing Big Gold Tooth scamming people, the fat internet celebrity expert smiled smugly.
The scene continued. Zhang Tian went to Big Gold Tooth's antique shop and found that Big Gold Tooth was not there.
So, he decided to wander around the street and do some shopping.
At the restaurant, Big Gold Tooth specially found a red string and helped Kulis put on the 'Guanyin of Death'.
Red string with Guanyin symbolized good luck, while red string with weasel Guanyin meant death.
"How is it? Don't I look handsome with this on?"
Kulis looked at the Guanyin jade pendant on his neck and turned around with satisfaction.
"Yes, I feel a gentle sensation, as if power is flowing within me. It feels so comfortable, I feel like good luck will truly happen."
Kulis murmured, his smile deepening.
"Congratulations, sir, on acquiring a treasure."
The female translator quickly congratulated him.
Kulis was delighted and even rewarded the translator with a hundred yuan.
Big Gold Tooth's eyes darted.
He hadn't intended to fleece one sheep too much.
But seeing this guy's ostentatious display of wealth, Big Gold Tooth's professional habit kicked in, and he couldn't resist.
"Actually, I have another treasure here."
Big Gold Tooth said slowly, a sly smile on his face.
Kulis, who was playing with the jade pendant, looked up immediately.
"Master Jin, tell me. As long as it's a treasure, I want it."
Feeling the strange power flowing through his chest, Kulis believed Big Gold Tooth's words even more.
This Big Gold Tooth was his benefactor, an angel.
Big Gold Tooth smiled and waved his hand.
" Turn off the lights."
With that, Hu Ba Yi turned off the lights.
He wanted to see how Big Gold Tooth would sell this corpse-raising bead.
"Why turn off the lights?"
Kulis asked in confusion.
But when he saw the bead Big Gold Tooth slowly took out, his eyes widened.
"Master Jin, you are..."
"A luminous pearl! Legend has it that in the Three Kingdoms period, some recluses could disappear into the heavens and earth, you can also think of them as ninjas, and this luminous pearl could reveal their figures."
"This kind of bead was used by emperors to nourish the body and calm the mind. Placing it by your bedside at home can even get rid of minor troubles and evil spirits."
Big Gold Tooth said, and seeing that Kulis seemed to not understand, he continued.
"Put it by your bedside, and even vampires won't dare to come near."
Big Gold Tooth finished speaking, and Kulis suddenly understood.
"Amazing! Fuck! Awesome! This treasure is truly beautiful."
"So powerful, even more powerful than an onion."
Kulis's eyes widened as he looked at the corpse-raising bead.
His eyes were filled with admiration.
Even the translator, looking at the glowing, round, pearl-like "luminous pearl," felt a sense of fondness.
"Are you selling this?"
Kulis asked excitedly.
"Mr. Kulis, I'm not selling this."
Big Gold Tooth said, and took the bead back.
Fatty wanted to speak, but Hu Ba Yi stopped him.
This was clearly Big Gold Tooth's strategy.
"This bead absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, and creates marvels from heaven and earth. It can even slow down aging."
"I want to keep it for my old age now."
Big Gold Tooth said, and Kulis immediately spoke.
"Mr. Jin, sell it to me. No matter the price, I'll buy it."
Hearing that it could slow down aging, dispel evil, and ward off vampires, Kulis could no longer contain himself.
"I'm sorry, this heirloom cannot be sold."
"My ancestors were of royal blood."
Big Gold Tooth casually revealed his family background again.
"Master Jin, if you sell it to me, I can give you three hundred thousand."
Seeing that Big Gold Tooth didn't respond.
"Five hundred thousand, and no more."
Still no response.
"Master Jin, I only brought eight hundred thousand with me this time, and I've spent most of it."
Kulis said earnestly.
"Alas, I didn't want to sell it. You know, we Xia people always follow our ancestors' wishes. But, seeing your sincerity."
"How about this, six hundred thousand, and it's yours."
Big Gold Tooth said, and Kulis clearly hesitated.
"How about this, five hundred and fifty thousand."
After Big Gold Tooth named another figure, Kulis gritted his teeth and agreed.
Thus, the jade pendant and the bead were sold for seven hundred thousand.
And unbeknownst to them, three or four more corpse-raising beads were still quietly lying in the backpack.
After a round of pleasantries,
Big Gold Tooth, with the money, left the restaurant with Hu Ba Yi.
It wasn't until they were far away that Fatty was so excited he almost jumped up.
This had truly opened Fatty's eyes.
Big Gold Tooth, however, remained calm.
He took the money and headed towards the bank.
"Master Jin, do you have any grudges with him?"
Hu Ba Yi couldn't help but ask.
Big Gold Tooth not only swindled all the money from him but also provided him with a full package service.
It would be strange if there were no grudges.
"Last time, I saw this guy using his status as a foreign citizen to act recklessly in the city, even forcing... Forget it... I won't say."
"I just don't like him."
Big Gold Tooth said, and Hu Ba Yi glanced at Big Gold Tooth's face, clearly showing he had been beaten.
He didn't ask further, that guy must have done something else, otherwise Big Gold Tooth wouldn't be so angry.
Big Gold Tooth thought with satisfaction that this guy was about to be taken care of by the full package service.
