Chapter 239 Too arrogant, a high-stakes gamble!
Since they are tokens and treasures bestowed by the royal family.
Furthermore, given that the treasure was damaged, it probably isn't worth much money.
If the value is less than a million, then Chen Le is doomed to lose.
Mr. Kang looked up at Tang Yunfeng and the others and added, "The specific market value needs to be determined based on the current market conditions and the interests of potential buyers. If we can find someone who is particularly interested in this period of history or who specializes in collecting such items, we may get an unexpectedly good price. It is difficult for me to give an exact valuation right now."
"That depends on how you look at it. For a boss like you, this piece of jade is worth almost nothing!"
"But for those working-class people, this piece of jade is still worth a fortune!"
"Let me check its specific value first!"
After Mr. Kang finished speaking, he stepped aside.
They also brought out relevant professional tools.
There is also an ancient book.
Then he began to study it carefully.
Chen Le stood to the side, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"No need to check, sir. This jade was passed down from the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty."
"Jade itself is not valuable, but the significance of its inheritance is priceless!"
Chen Le smiled and offered a reminder.
Mr. Kang, who was concentrating on examining the details, turned around and glared at Chen Le with a displeased expression upon hearing these words.
"who are you!"
"What qualifications do you have to assert that this jade is an heirloom of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Look at you, so young, how can you spout such nonsense? If it's a jade of inheritance, how could it not be carved with the dragon head that is exclusive to royalty!"
Old Master Kang questioned in a cold voice.
Faced with Mr. Kang's questioning, Chen Le did not panic. Instead, he calmly explained, "Sir, please don't be angry."
Jade pendants bestowed by Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty upon meritorious officials or close confidants may not have featured the dragon head emblem exclusive to the imperial family.
Because these were items given as rewards rather than used directly by the royal family.
But the story behind this jade pendant and the significance it represents make it priceless.
He continued, "Although this jade is damaged, once its authenticity is confirmed, its historical value will far outweigh its physical defects."
At this moment, Tang Yunfeng interjected, "Mr. Kang, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just a novice! We all trust your final assessment!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Kang's expression softened slightly. He nodded and then re-examined the jade pendant in his hand.
After a careful examination, he seemed to have discovered some details that he had not noticed before, and his expression became serious!
About half an hour later.
Mr. Kang casually tossed the jade to Tang Yunfeng.
It's not afraid of being damaged if it falls on the ground.
He clapped his hands, his face showing a nonchalant expression!
"The appraisal is complete; it's worthless!"
"It is indeed an heirloom; I didn't see the dragon pattern on it earlier!"
"This should be a jade pendant bestowed by Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty upon his relatives as a family heirloom. However, there are a total of 6 pieces of this jade pendant, which means that this piece is not complete; it is only one of the pieces!"
"Unless all six pieces are put together, they can form a complete Imperial Dragon Wall, which could sell for at least tens of millions!"
"A single broken piece of jade is worthless."
When I heard what Elder Kang said.
A smug smile appeared on Tang Yunfeng's face.
Everyone around nodded in agreement.
Although Chen Le's reminder just now was almost identical to Mr. Kang's final assessment result.
However, the value of this jade is...
However, it did not reach the expected level.
It seems Chen Le has lost this round.
"Oh my god, we've really lost out..."
Even Mr. Li and his assistant Liang sighed.
I wish I hadn't gambled on this one.
I should have advised Chen Le earlier.
It was a great start, and they made a fortune from a painting worth hundreds of millions.
It has already caused Tang Yunfeng to bleed profusely.
Now they've won back another 100 million, it's a huge loss, I'm devastated.
"Chen Le, I think you heard what Mr. Kang said. Let's all be witnesses!"
"This piece of jade is practically worthless!"
"So you lost our bet, shouldn't you fulfill your promise and transfer the 100 million over now?!"
Tang Yunfeng waved his phone, his face beaming with joy and his heart overflowing with happiness!
Although I lost money on a painting today.
It is worth hundreds of millions.
But he knew one thing: wealth that doesn't belong to him can't be kept.
But now, they've finally turned the tables!
One hundred million, in cash!
Hahahaha!
It's all Chen Le's fault for being so stupid. He insisted on sticking to me and started this gambling game with ten times the odds!
Now look what happened, you've lost a lot of money!
One hundred million, just like that, it came in!
Besides, he's got a lot of radiance on his face.
In front of so many people, they severely dampened the other party's arrogance.
"Young man, you have indeed lost this time!"
"You shouldn't have taken this bet!"
An antique collector, who was watching the spectacle, said with a smile.
"Yes, reselling one painting is equivalent to making over a hundred million. One shouldn't be so greedy, or one will eventually fall into trouble!"
A plump woman nodded in agreement.
"Young man, you have a good eye, it's a pity..."
"Yes, it's quite remarkable that we were able to find this treasure inside that ink cartridge!"
"There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. If you keep a low profile in the future, you'll avoid suffering a lot of losses!"
"Hurry up and pay up! Stop dawdling. Are you trying to renege on your debt? Look at Boss Tang, he lost a painting worth hundreds of millions, and he didn't say anything. Can't you afford to pay for it?!"
"Pay up the money now, or none of you will be leaving!"
In that instant, all the buyers and collectors who had a good relationship with Tang Yinfeng started to denounce him.
They believed that Chen Le had failed to fulfill his promises and was trying to renege on his debts.
That won't do; there are so many people standing here today.
We can't let them get away!
"Hahahahaha..."
Tang Yunfeng smiled smugly upon seeing this.
He even walked right up to Chen Le and proudly circled around him once.
"Kid, if you can't come up with the money, there's another solution."
"Why don't you kneel down and call me 'Master'?"
"For every shout, I'll reduce your pay by 10; if you shout 100 times, I'll reduce your pay by 100 million!"
"No upper limit!"
"With so many people watching and bearing witness today, if you dare to shout it out, I dare to give it to you!"
"If you yell ten thousand times, I'll have to pay you back, how about that, kid!"
Tang Yunfeng crossed his arms and looked at Chen Le with disdain, his attitude extremely arrogant.
This kid dared to bring people to cause trouble, not only trying to stand up for the two Hong Kong businessmen, but also taking away his treasure. Tang Yunfeng was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
"Oh?"
Chen Le slowly raised his head and chuckled softly.
"You want me to pay?"
"you sure?"
"Who told you I lost?"
Chen Le glanced at Tang Yunfeng as if he were an idiot.
His words drew puzzled looks from Mr. Li and his assistant, Liang.
After all, Mr. Kang, a leading figure in the antique world, has already given his conclusion.
This piece of jade isn't valuable unless you collect all six pieces.
What hope is there for things to turn around?
It's a complete dead end.
That kid is too arrogant!
How could you make such a bet with someone!
