65: You think you can exchange a banner that costs three yuan to make for my three hundred million yuan antique? Dream on!

"The result of the Expert's appraisal is actually true!"

Female Reporter Bingbing muttered to herself, her face full of disbelief.

Just now, this item was casually placed in front of her, making her believe it was fake, which was why the guy named Xu Lu on the other side seemed so nonchalant.

But who knew it wasn't fake? Even the Expert said that this jigang cup's quality was better than the one auctioned, meaning its value was even higher!

The one from Hong Kong Island sold for 280 million. Wouldn't this one sell for 300 million?

"Fortunately, I didn't pick it up to look just now, otherwise... No, it's such a pity, I didn't pick it up to look just now, and now if you ask me to, I wouldn't dare!"

Thinking of this, Female Reporter Bingbing's face was full of regret.

Meanwhile, Zhou Dan next to her was full of excitement.

It's real! I didn't expect it to be real, this is great!

When he saw the jigang cup casually placed there just now, he thought he had been tricked into a wasted trip today.

But now that he knew the item was real, Zhou Dan's excitement was beyond words.

"As long as I take this jigang cup back, won't I have credit? Let's see who dares say I used back channels... It's just a shame, if only I could take this item home for my collection, 300 million, that kid opposite really got lucky!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Dan felt a bit jealous.

His family also collects, but the total value of their collection probably couldn't compare to this small jigang cup.

And it just had to be this kid in front of him, who knows nothing about collecting, who casually visited a street stall and picked up such a huge bargain.

Although he was jealous, Zhou Dan hid his emotions well, instead extending his hand eagerly:

"Mr. Xu, on behalf of Hongcheng Museum, I congratulate you, this collection is real.

We are here today to discuss something with Mr. Xu, which also concerns the future of this jigang cup.

You see, with this jigang cup in your hands, its value is not being fully realized.

But if it can be displayed in the Hongcheng Museum, then more people will be able to appreciate the splendor of this antique..."

"You mean, you want me to donate it to your museum?"

Xu Lu blinked and asked.

"That's right! Mr. Xu, I believe anyone with a sense of public duty would do so. An antique like this remaining in anyone's personal hands is a crime..."

Zhou Dan said magnanimously:

"Of course, we would never let Mr. Xu suffer a loss. As long as Mr. Xu donates it to the museum, we will give you a banner representing supreme honor!"

"That's it?"

Xu Lu said, still wanting more:

"According to custom, besides the banner, shouldn't there also be a 500-yuan reward? Why didn't you mention it?"

"Mr. Xu is joking. Donation is donation, it shouldn't involve money. That would purely defile the artwork, and we don't engage in such things!"

Zhou Dan shook his head and explained.

Even the 500 yuan bonus is waived, alright, you're ruthless!

Xu Lu grumbled inwardly, remaining silent for a moment.

Unexpectedly, after waiting a while, Zhou Dan urged again:

"Mr. Xu, an antique of the jigang cup's caliber, if kept in any individual's hands, carries the risk of being lost overseas.

That would be a loss for our Great Xia, and Mr. Xu would become a sinner of history, a blemish on his life... I've made the pros and cons clear to you. With Mr. Xu's awareness, he should be very willing to donate it to us, right?"

"Of course I'm... not willing!"

Amidst the other guy's expectant expression, Xu Lu firmly spat out the last few words.

And continued:

"I'm telling you, are you out of your mind? You want to exchange a three-yuan banner for my 300 million antique?

And what 'sinner of history,' 'blemish on life'? Let me ask you first, have you bought a house in Hong City?"

Hearing this, the female reporter, who had been silent, blinked, as if she realized something.

Zhou Dan, who was suddenly cursed and somewhat bewildered, didn't have that awareness and nodded in confusion when he heard it.

Xu Lu immediately laughed, saying impatiently:

"Look, your family has already bought a house in Hong City, so aren't you just talking without feeling the pain? You people who have bought houses are trying to persuade me, who still rents, to donate generously. How shameless!"

You people who have bought houses are trying to persuade me, who still rents, to donate generously. How shameless!

Zhou Dan's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Xu, what does your decision to donate this jigang cup have to do with whether you've bought a house in Hong City or not?

Besides, the reason you can't afford a house is purely because you don't work hard. Anyone can afford a house if they work hard..."

"Get out!"

Xu Lu unceremoniously kicked the three museum people out of his house, immediately feeling the air in the room become much fresher.

What does my hard work or lack thereof have to do with you, you annoying fellow?

Just then, Female Reporter Bingbing next to him said somewhat awkwardly:

"Um... Mr. Xu, our interview here is complete. We won't bother you any further..."

"Alright, Reporter Bingbing, come again often."

Xu Lu nodded, casually greeting the pretty reporter, completely ignoring the expectant gaze of the cameraman brother.

What a joke!

You're a cameraman, do you really expect the same treatment as the female reporter? Not to mention your looks aren't up to par, and you're a man. Who the hell would invite a man to come often?

However, before the female reporter and her team could get up, the doorbell rang again.

However, before the female reporter and her team could get up, the doorbell rang again.

Xu Lu's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself:

"It looks like the people sent by Businessman Zhang from Hong Kong Island are here. I wonder how much he's willing to offer for this jigang cup I have?"

As soon as he said this, Female Reporter Bingbing, who had just stood up, paused, then said:

"Um... Mr. Xu, can we interview a little longer? Is the Businessman Zhang from Hong Kong Island you mentioned the one who bought the jigang cup at Sothebys Auction House yesterday?"

"That's right! It's that Businessman Zhang. He sent an Expert team to my place today, probably to buy this jigang cup from me.

By the way, Bingbing, didn't you just say the interview was over? Why are you saying you want to interview a little longer now?"

Xu Lu asked casually.

The female reporter smiled awkwardly:

"Oh, Mr. Xu, don't tease Bingbing. Isn't it because Businessman Zhang's Expert team is about to arrive? Our TV station wants to get the first-hand news..."

Xu Lu didn't object, nodded, and said:

"Alright, then you can continue the interview. I'll go open the door first!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

The female reporter breathed a sigh of relief.

How could she leave at this critical moment?

Of course, she needed to know the situation with Businessman Zhang from Hong Kong Island's Expert team. Who knows, she might even find out the transaction price of this jigang cup!

This news would be much more valuable than a simple interview!
