"Little friend, you must be joking. What secrets can this ordinary bronze wine cup have?”Fang Jidao stroked his beard and smiled.
He knew that Ye Ming knew nothing about the bronze wine cup, so he obviously wouldn't tell him.
Ye Ming's temper flared up when he saw that the other party was being secretive." Please go back then. I'm sorry I didn't see you off!" Tiger, send the guest out!"
Fang Jidao immediately stood up with an apologetic look on his face." I'm here today to ask if you can give up this wine glass? Because my master really likes it, I went back earlier and told him about the situation. He also allocated a sum of money for me to buy that wine cup and told me to buy it no matter how much it costs. As for the secret behind it, it was just an unintentional question from me. In fact, I don't know much, so please don't think too much about it.”
Ye Ming's face darkened and he did not speak. He was carefully pondering the meaning behind the old man's words." No matter how much it costs, I'll buy it?”
He suddenly wanted to test how much this bronze wine cup was worth and what kind of person would value it so much. Moreover, that person seemed to be a hundred-year-old old monster.
This kind of old monster had lived his entire life and was knowledgeable. It was not surprising that he knew the secret of this wine glass. Otherwise, he would not have paid so much just because he liked it.
"May I know how I should address your master?" Ye Ming asked.
Speaking of his master, Fang Jidao had a proud expression." My master's name is Chen Botang. He's a Feng Shui master, but he's long retired.”
"Oh ~" Ye Ming had no idea what this name was.
He pretended to think hard and then slowly said,"This bronze wine cup is my family heirloom after all. I won't sell it easily, but..."
"But what?" Fang Jidao thought that there was a turning point and quickly asked happily.
"But I want to know how much your master, Master Chen, is willing to pay for my family heirloom?”Ye Ming's eyes darted around, paying attention to the old man's expression.
"If little friend wishes to sell it, my master is willing to pay one billion US dollars!”Fang Jidao crossed his index fingers and formed a cross.
"One billion USD?"
Ye Ming was a little surprised, even though one billion USD was only a matter of a day for him.
However, it was absolutely inconceivable for an ordinary person to spend a billion dollars on an ancient bronze wine cup. Moreover, from the looks of it, if Ye Ming raised the price, he would definitely agree.
Ye Ming was getting more and more curious about the secret contained in the bronze wine cup. What kind of secret could make the other party pay such a price?
Fang Jidao nodded." At the previous auction, I had about 240 million dollars at my disposal. The second bid you made exceeded my bottom line, so I had no choice but to go back and seek my master's opinion. When my master learned of this, he immediately allocated a billion dollars to me in an attempt to buy the bronze wine cup from you. I wonder if I can let you part with a billion dollars?”
He thought that Ye Ming would definitely be tempted by such a huge temptation. After all, he could earn 750 million USD in one go, and how long had it been?
Family heirlooms were precious, but they only had symbolic or memorial significance, while 750 million dollars was real.
Perhaps in this world, other than the top few tycoons on the forbes rich list who could ignore this money, ordinary people would definitely be tempted.
However, Ye Ming was naturally different. Not to mention a mere billion dollars, even if it was ten billion, a hundred billion, or a trillion dollars, he would reject it without hesitation.
To him and Old Ye's family, even if this thing was not a secret, it was still of great significance. It could not be measured by money. Besides, he did not lack that bit of money.
"I'm sorry, old sir. I have no intention of selling this bronze wine cup. I hope you can forgive me!”Ye Ming cupped his fists.
The silver-haired old man was very surprised by Ye Ming's answer." Not even a billion dollars? Could it be that the little friend thinks that one billion US dollars is too little?”
Ye Ming smiled and shook his head." I really don't want to sell it. The significance of this bronze wine cup to the Ye family can't be measured by money. It was once wandering outside because of me. Now that it has returned, it can be considered fate. I won't let it leave the Ye family again.”
"Not even 10 billion?"
"Even if 100 billion is placed in front of me, I won't blink!”
Fang Jidao was a little unhappy. Today's trip was destined to be in vain, and he had even let the other party realize how precious this bronze wine cup was.
He now understood that Ye Ming was just trying to get information from him and had no intention of taking the wine cup.
That skinny old face no longer had the kindness from before. He said coldly,""Then why did little friend ask this old master how much his master was going to pay to buy your wine cup? Could it be that he wanted to find out how much the bronze wine cup was worth? This old man can tell you clearly that in this world, other than my master, no one else likes your wine glass so much. If you don't sell it today, if someone else wants to buy it in the future, they can only pay 100 million US dollars at most!”
Ye Ming shrugged indifferently." He can pay however much others want. I won't sell it anyway, and I don't lack that one billion."”
Fang Jidao's expression darkened." Are you really not selling it, young friend?”
"Not bad! Family heirloom treasures are not for sale!"
Fang Jidao narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Ming for a moment. He knew that he had wasted his trip today, and he had also let Ye Ming notice something.
It seemed that he could only use other methods.
"To be honest, if you don't sell the wine cup today, you'll be in trouble in the future.”
"Are you threatening me?”
"Whether it is a threat or a kind advice, we will know in the future. Since little friend has no intention of selling it, this old man will not disturb you any longer.”
"I won't send you off!"#
