161: The ring in the fish tank
Chen Kai saw this scene and immediately smiled; wasn't this perfect timing?
He didn't have a jade ring on him, but he did have a mutton fat jade one.
He immediately raised his hand and called out, "Oi!"
Zheng Liu Chang was startled, immediately greeted his big brother, and then quickly stood up and walked over to Chen Kai's side.
"What good stuff did you bring today? You really saved my life last time, and I even earned a carnival. Is it something niche this time?"
"If it were something niche, I would have just listed it in the live stream. There would probably be many buyers, maybe even a bidding war. My live stream is all about Appraisal and buying antiques now."
Chen Kai curled the corners of his mouth and rubbed his chin.
"I just heard that someone in your live stream wants a mutton fat jade and a jade ring? And they even gifted you a carnival."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Liu Chang immediately gasped.
He immediately shouted, "Foster father, save me!"
Chen Kai quickly waved his hand, his face showing a hint of disdain.
He had been called "foster father" enough times lately; forget it.
"Cut the crap. A carnival is 1,500, right? How about you split half with me?"
When the topic of splitting the carnival came up, the corners of Zheng Liu Chang's mouth stopped smiling, and there was actually a hint of reluctance on his face.
"Can one 'foster father' count as 100? I'll split 700 with you."
Zheng Liu Chang pouted and said that money was fine, but taking his gifts was not, especially gifts that hadn't been cashed out yet; it made him feel terrible.
"Fine, fine, split 700 with me then."
Chen Kai chuckled. Although he wasn't short on that 700 yuan right now, being able to freeload 700 from his brother felt great.
The most satisfying thing was freeloading. When selling things, business was business, and he would never freeload, but if it came to scamming his brother, he wouldn't hold back.
He definitely wouldn't talk nonsense when he could scam his brother.
"Fine, I'll split it with you, okay? Let me see where the mutton fat jade is."
Zheng Liu Chang poked his head around, peeking into Chen Kai's clothes, until he pulled a quail egg-sized mutton fat jade ring out of his pocket.
He immediately gasped and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
"Foster father! You were hiding this! This... a quail egg-sized mutton fat jade, this must be worth 40,000 to 50,000!"
"I'll give you 45,000! Plus the 700 split, deal?"
Zheng Liu Chang's face was full of amazement. Whatever he needed, Chen Kai could provide; he was a true foster father!
He happened to be missing a mutton fat jade ring, and Chen Kai brought him one. Holy crap, he didn't even know what to say.
Otherwise, he would have had to refund the carnival, or the boss would have just done a minor refund, which would have killed him.
He immediately took the ring and examined it with a magnifying glass. Although it was brought by Chen Kai, his years of experience had formed a habit of inspecting the goods first.
After taking two looks and confirming there were no problems, he rushed over to the front of the live stream, smiling mysteriously.
"Big brother, big brother! Don't rush to refund! Here! Look at what this is!"
Zheng Liu Chang mysteriously put his hands behind his back, then pulled out the mutton fat jade ring from behind his back.
"Awesome, right? It's the real deal!"
"Okay! You want it, right? Satisfied? Satisfied, right? Oh my! Thank you, big brother, for sending another carnival!"
"Oh my! Thank you, big brother! Playing a song for you, big brother!"
Afterward, Zheng Liu Chang turned on the speakers, and a grand, imposing song started playing.
"No one supports my ambition to reach the clouds!"
"I step on the moon myself! To the mountain peak! Thank you, big brother!"
"In the spring courtyard, the pear blossoms wither, another year passes..."
...
Chen Kai shook his head helplessly and turned to walk out of Yunshang Pavilion.
Just as he walked out of Yunshang Pavilion, he received a transfer from Zheng Liu Chang on WeChat.
Looking at the transfer amount, it was 56,400!
"Oh, this kid even split the second carnival with me. Not bad, not bad, he's thoughtful."
Chen Kai chuckled and immediately drove towards his Rental House.
On the way, he stopped at a gas station to refuel using a free gas card, and only then did he return home to lie down.
Time had unknowingly reached twelve o'clock.
Chen Kai immediately opened today's daily intelligence system and quietly waited for it to refresh.
"I wonder what big bargain will be refreshed this time. Even if a big bargain is refreshed, with over a million in capital back, I can score any bargain."
He immediately opened the system's intelligence.
[Ding!]
[Today's intelligence refreshed!]
[Today's Intermediate Intelligence refreshed: Before 11:00 AM today, there is a broken fish tank placed by the Flowerbed on the side of the road at the North Gate of Shouan Community. There are plastic colorful stones in the fish tank. A little girl's mother wouldn't let her keep small fish because she had already kept many and they died, and she thought it was too expensive. She simply threw the fish tank away behind the daughter's back. Among the plastic colorful stones in the fish tank, there is a real jade ring mixed in. The little girl thought the ring her mother kept in the cabinet was prettier than the plastic colorful stones, so she put it in the fish tank. The material of the jade ring is from the Old Pakan mine, ice-variety blue.]
[Suggested selling price: 41,300.]
Chen Kai gasped; this little girl was quite the talent.
Putting her mom's jade ring in a fish tank to fill it with plastic colorful stones.
If he remembered correctly, that plastic junk was five yuan for a big handful, all in cheap fish tanks to trick children.
He had to go score this bargain early, lest the child get spanked and confess everything, and her mother rushes downstairs to find it, then it would be ruined.
Thinking of this, Chen Kai used his phone map to check the location of this community. Fortunately, it wasn't too far; it would only take a few dozen minutes by Electric Scooter.
He quickly set an alarm, preparing to go score the bargain early the next morning.
...
Early the next morning, Chen Kai scrambled out of bed at eight o'clock, washed up, changed his clothes, and hurriedly went downstairs to ride his Electric Scooter.
He rode the Electric Scooter rapidly towards the community; if he were a little late, it would easily be found again.
He rode the Electric Scooter for less than half an hour before stopping at the community entrance, observing his surroundings. He also looked at the general location of the North Gate of Shouan Community.
He rode his bike sneakily through the North Gate, searching along the Flowerbed all the way.
Once inside the North Gate, there was a row of residential buildings. A dozen meters in front of the building entrance was a row of Flowerbeds, overgrown with weeds.
The edges of the Flowerbeds were made of marble, and from time to time, he could see an unfinished bottle of drink left on the Flowerbed.
He rode very slowly, fearing that if he went too fast, he would miss something.
But after scanning the Flowerbed in front of him, besides a few abandoned drinks, he didn't see anything else.
"Could it be that I came too late?"
Chen Kai muttered silently, turned his bike around in front of the last unit door of the row of residential buildings, and headed back.
He looked at the intelligence again; he had arrived two hours earlier than the intelligence suggested, so this shouldn't be happening.
