Chapter 001 It's been 3 years, and the people of Panjiayuan are amazing!
Panjiayuan.
Three alleys.
Tianyi Treasure Pavilion.
"Boss Cao, is it any good or not?"
A smiling young woman in a pale yellow dress asked from in front of the counter.
As the future leader of the Huo family, one of the Nine Gates.
Huo Xiuxiu came here today specifically to visit Cao Kun, the owner of Tianyi Treasure Pavilion.
The goal was to acquire Cao Kun's shops.
Since Cao Kun appeared in Panjiayuan, he has been buying all kinds of old items.
Even if it's scrap.
They're all willing to pay a high price to buy it!
It disrupted the entire Panjiayuan antique market.
To know.
Panjiayuan is just a small plot of land.
All of them are controlled by the Huo, Qi, and Xie families of the Old Nine Gates.
Many shops have shares.
Whenever I receive valuable antiques or calligraphy and paintings.
They will all end up in the hands of the Nine Gates immediately.
The Huo family benefited because Huo Jinxi married a high-ranking official.
The background is very strong.
The most shops have invested in Panjiayuan.
Now, apart from Cao Kun, who is a variable!
The Huo family cannot stand idly by.
Panjiayuan will not allow such arrogant people to exist.
"Pah, a man can't say no."
Upon hearing this, Cao Kun feigned an angry expression.
in fact.
He could barely suppress the smile on his face.
I'm overjoyed!
Cao Kun gazed at the object before him.
A line of data appeared in my eyes.

……
This is the cheat code!
Golden Eyes, huh?
Cao Kun wanted to question him loudly.
Three years.
Goldfinger.
Do you know how I've spent these past three years?
Cao Kun was also worried that he might be seeing things.
He blinked hard.
Fortunately.
That passage is still there.
On the contrary, Huo Xiuxiu, who was standing next to Cao Kun, was amused by Cao Kun's expression.
She doesn't understand.
A jade pendant carved with a Qilin (a mythical creature) from the Warring States period.
Cao Kun watched it for a full half hour?
Could it be that the jade pendant carved with a Qilin from the Warring States period can talk?
Should you proactively tell the other person about your background?
Huo Xiuxiu had great confidence in the Warring States period Qilin Zun jade pendant.
The entire Panjiayuan area.
Except for her, Huo Xiuxiu.
No one else will ever know its origin or purpose!
"Alright, Boss Cao, you know the rules for appraising antiques, right?"
Huo Xiuxiu raised her beautiful, delicate eyebrows.
"Oh, are there any other rules?"
Cao Kun looked up and asked with great interest.
Huo Xiuxiu heard this.
She knew Cao Kun was a hothead!
They don't understand anything.
They must have some money at home to be collecting recyclables on such a large scale.
"Alright, if you can identify what this item is and have a good reason."
Huo Xiuxiu paused for a moment, then continued, "I will give you a generous reward for your appraisal. If I am wrong, I will take ten items from your shop."
"However, I don't care about the items here. I want 30% of the shares of your Tianyi Treasure Pavilion directly."
"With the protection of the Huo family, your business will definitely reach new heights in the future."
Huo Xiuxiu felt that the conditions she offered were very favorable.
In business, harmony brings wealth!
Power and influence are also important!
Cao Kun was an outsider.
To gain a foothold in the capital city where every inch of land is precious.
This requires paying respects to the authorities.
The adult world.
It's all about profit!
Huo Xiuxiu believes.
If Cao Kun's shop becomes a property under the Huo family, his business will definitely boom.
This is an unprecedented fortune!
Countless shop owners outside were crying and begging to become the Huo family's dogs.
However, he could not obtain what he desired.
The Huo family doesn't accept just any Tom, Dick, or Harry shop.
"No problem, can I take this jade pendant with the Qilin carving without paying the appraisal fee?"
Cao Kun suddenly asked a question in return.
What?
This time, Huo Xiuxiu was dumbfounded.
This Cao Kun.
He knew what kind of treasure this was!
wrong.
In her shock, Huo Xiuxiu suddenly realized something: she must have been mistaken.
Such a treasure.
Cao Kun wanted more.
Honestly, like a toad yawning—what a boastful tone!
Immediately.
Huo Xiuxiu said angrily, "Everyone knows this is a Qilin jade pendant, do you need to tell me that?"
Cao Kun waved his hand, signaling her to calm down.
"This is an ancient jade piece from the late Warring States period, made of Hetian greenish-white jade."
"In terms of design, it's a rare example of a mythical beast pendant found in ancient jade!"
Cao Kun said loudly.
Huo Xiuxiu smiled faintly.
"Alright, that's what my grandma said too."
Huo Xiuxiu now couldn't help but think more highly of Cao Kun.
It's amazing to find so much information on the jade pendant carved with the Qilin.
This doesn't seem like the useless person the legends portray.
"The jade unicorn is a three-dimensional sculpture with distinct layers on its chest, abdomen, and back, and a hollowed-out tail, creating a sense of openness and clean lines."
"Especially the fine hair carving, the craftsmanship is superb..."
Cao Kun said.
He picked up a cup of tea in front of him and took a sip.
Huo Xiuxiu didn't say anything at this moment. She turned around and sat down in the chair opposite her.
She got a little tired of standing, so she turned around and sat back down in her chair.
Her long, fair legs were exposed.
Two female bodyguards in black suits stared intently at the jade pendant carved with a qilin on the counter.
"Generally speaking, a jade pendant with a Qilin carving like this would be worth 100 million yuan on the market."
Cao Kun said calmly.
"Hehe, Boss Cao, if you have nothing else to say."
"According to the rules of the underworld, you've lost. Hand over your shares!"
Huo Xiuxiu smiled and said, "I have an appraisal report for the Crescent Moon Hotel here. I'm sure you'll agree with it, right?"
She believes.
Cao Kun's skills were lacking, so he could only suffer misfortune as a result.
"Miss Huo, don't worry, I've explained the usual procedure."
"However, this Warring States period jade pendant with a carved Qilin is a bit special because it is a divine object."
Cao Kun said calmly.
Huo Xiuxiu's smile froze.
A divine object?
Cao Kun actually figured it out?
It's fake, right?
Huo Xiuxiu could hardly believe her ears!
"This mid-grade magic weapon has a special ability."
Cao Kun spoke each word carefully.
Huo Xiuxiu heard it clearly.
Cao Kun even knew the grade of the magic weapon.
This is a master.
Hidden deep within!
Huo Xiuxiu was still a little girl after all, and didn't have that much cunning.
She looked at Cao Kun in front of her, as if trying to figure out how he had made the distinction.
To know.
The Crescent Moon Hotel has many expert appraisers online.
This group of people had already distinguished themselves during the Republic of China era, and they issued appraisal documents.
It is recognized by the entire antique world.
"Miss Huo, let's make a deal. I'll waive the appraisal fee."
"I want this jade pendant carved with a Qilin from the Warring States period. Although I don't have forty or fifty million right now, I can pay it back slowly..."
As he spoke, Cao Kun reached out and touched the Warring States period jade pendant carved with a Qilin!
Suddenly, he felt a warm current enter his palm.
