The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

"You’re so young, what are you doing spending so much money? We’re old, so if we buy it, we buy it. How about you just let us have this item?"

"..." ’It would be one thing if they just named a price.’

But now that a renowned expert from the Antique Appraisal World was asking her to yield, it was hard to refuse.

So Yang Jiao was in a difficult position. She really wanted it, too.

Gu Shengsheng walked over and took Yang Jiao by the arm.

She smiled and said, "You uncles are just trying to persuade the younger generation to back down so you can snap it up at a lower price, aren’t you!"

"Just do what you want, Miss Yang Jiao. Make your own decision. Don’t let them guilt-trip you."

’These old geezers are more cunning than the last. They love pointing fingers from their moral high ground.’

Businessmen are all like this; they won’t get up early if there’s no profit to be made.

Everyone is just trying to avoid losing out, to reduce their costs even by a little. Gu Shengsheng was the same.

This was no longer an era of self-sacrifice to help others, and there was no need for any great saints.

Yang Jiao nodded and said with a smile, "If no one’s price is higher than mine, then there’s no problem with me taking it, right?"

’Who made the rule that only people in the antique appraisal business are allowed to buy?’

With that, Yang Jiao transferred the money to Gu Shengsheng and took the several better-quality coins.

The remaining ones weren’t bad, just not as good in comparison.

They were reluctant to spend the money, but felt it would be a loss if they didn’t get them.

In the end, they still picked through the coins Gu Shengsheng had left.

Everyone chose a few. Typically, the better coins of this type, like the Yuan Datou or this Big Money, would be worth over a hundred thousand yuan.

It would have been fine if they were rare, but now Gu Shengsheng had revealed a whole box of them.

The price might even drop because of it.

So everyone was having a hard time settling on a price.

Then, Zhang Sanwang said, "Miss Gu, you could actually hide this whole box and sell a few at a time later on. You might make more money that way."

"Now that you’ve found this treasure, bringing them out box by box like this will inevitably cause the price to fall."

After he said this, Gu Shengsheng nodded.

"That’s true. But if I were to hide them away, it would make me seem petty. Would anyone want to do business with someone like me in the future?"

Of course, that was just what she said.

In reality, Gu Shengsheng herself didn’t want to take them back to earn that extra margin. Never mind the hassle; the main reason was that she could make even more money later.

’Limiting myself to this one treasure box? That would be truly shortsighted.’

Everyone picked out many coins. As for the rest, Zhao Dehai spoke up directly, "How about selling the remainder to us at the Cultural Relics Management Bureau for market price?"

"Alright," Gu Shengsheng agreed with a nod.

Because the whole box was full of coins, thousands upon thousands of them, selling them all and tallying up the total came to four million yuan.

Including the two million from just before, she now had 7 million yuan.

Gu Shengsheng was bound to make her money back, because there was still a box of gold next to her.

Everyone was now staring at this box of gold bars. The curator of the Beijing Museum was especially anxious. "Miss Gu, how do you plan to sell this?"

He asked very seriously, "These, Miss Gu... could you sell them at the market price, based on the current circulation value of Qing Dynasty gold bars?"

As soon as he finished, Zhang Sanwang cut in, "Don’t blame me for competing with you, Curator. Our humble Treasure Pavilion could also really use this as its centerpiece."

"So... this one’s ours. I’ll offer ten million."

"For this box of gold."

Truth be told, the box wasn’t worth nearly that much.

Gao Liu, the curator of the Beijing Museum who had been so determined just a moment ago, now started to hesitate.

There was nothing to be done. Ten million was still too expensive for this.

Their museum was too poor; they couldn’t afford it. The main issue was that it didn’t seem like a good deal.

’I always have to save money for the museum.’

And so, Gao Liu hesitated again.

Gu Shengsheng, for her part, didn’t stand on ceremony and sold it directly.

Ten million. Cash on the barrelhead.

Zhang Sanwang didn’t think it was a loss. He was confident he could find a way to make double his money back.

’It’s business! As long as the initial cost is good, making a profit later is all up to you.’

Now, Gao Liu, the curator of the Beijing Museum, was still left with nothing, completely empty-handed.

He looked at Gu Shengsheng mournfully, unable to hide the aggrieved look in his eyes.

It made Gu Shengsheng feel like some sort of scumbag who had loved him and left him.

"..." Gu Shengsheng was a bit speechless. She’d received too many looks like that today. She was starting to become immune.

But she still said, "The next ones haven’t been opened."

Gao Liu proposed, "Miss Gu, I don’t have much more time to linger here. How about you sell these unopened boxes as they are, one by one?"

"I’ll just take one box. As for the price, what do you think?"

"I have a proposal. I’ll give you 7 million, based on the price of the first box. When it’s opened, if there happens to be something incredibly valuable inside, it’ll be yours. How does that sound?"

This meant he was shouldering all the risk himself.

Gu Shengsheng had no reason to refuse.

It was a gamble for everyone; she herself didn’t know what was inside.

That was where the thrill lay. He could lose 7 million, or he could make a huge profit.

But Gu Shengsheng felt that making 7 million from a single box was a solid win for her.

So she nodded.

She agreed.

Gao Liu finally let out a sigh of relief. "After all that back and forth, I’ve finally got a deal within my budget."

Because his entire budget for this trip was about seven million yuan.

Now, he was really taking a gamble.

Gu Shengsheng saw how nervous he was and handed him the small hammer and some box-opening tools from her bag.

She said, "You can open it yourself."

Seeing him get to work, Li Bai also grew eager. "Miss Gu, count me in! 7 million, I’ll buy a box too!"

Yang Jiao smiled and said, "Count me in as well."

"..."

The online viewers were witnessing this for the first time. To these rich people, a few million was like buying a head of cabbage...

Wait, do these people not even have to consider the possibility of a loss?

"BOOHOO, I feel like I’m the only poor person in the world right now."

"Damn, everyone around the streamer is such a big shot! These treasures are seriously valuable. I want to buy one too, but I can only watch. If she posted a ’buy’ link for this, no one could afford it!"

"OMG! I want to be a girlboss like Gu Shengsheng. Too bad about her husband. A woman that amazing, and *he’s* the one who got her."

"Hope he becomes Mr. Ex-Husband soon."

"The streamer’s a sugar mama. Her husband’s probably just a moocher..."

"..." Lu Shijing, who was watching the live stream, was also speechless. ’I haven’t even officially met my wife yet, and these people are already hoping for our divorce?’
