Chapter 57: Fake Trinkets
If it was earlier, Sun Shuang would have scoffed at Jia Hao’s warning as some ramblings. However, he had a discerning eye and realized Jia Hao wasn’t just bullshitting.
Not to mention, possessing such unusual treasure, what if Jia Hao was telling the truth?
” I am sure with the capabilities of Mr. Sun, It won’t take long to verify my words, right?” Jia Hao laughed as he looked at Chen Mo.
” Meanwhile, Elder Chen, Didn’t you say the fried chicken in this restaurant is pretty famous? How about we try it?”
” Hoho, Is that so?” Chen Mo nodded as he called the waiter and laced the order.
In fact, he was also curious to see the authenticity of Jia Hao’s claims. Chen Mo truly wondered about the mystery surrounding Jia Hao, making him watch the show until the end.
Almost an hour passed as Jia Hao leaned back on the chair, wiping his mouth, ” Wow, It’s much more delicious than I expected. Especially the hot sauce they drizzled on it. It’s too good.”
” Haha, I am glad that you liked it.” Chen Mo laughed lightly.
Sun Shuang received a call and his expression became solemn.
” So, Are you telling the truth?” Sun Shuang spoke in a pressing voice. After that, he sighed as his voice turned cold.
” Take him down and squeeze every information from him.”
Ending the call, Sun Shuang looked at Jia Hao with complicated eyes.
” Well, Little Brother, I am truly thrilled to see your abilities. A mole really planning to hand over the bidding document to our competitor.”
” He already received fifty million yuan in his private bank account and he received more than thirty million today.”
Jia Hao sipped water from the glass as he smiled. ” No problem, Mr. Sun. I am also helping you with my own needs. After all, in this world, connection means everything, no?”
” Haha, Such profound words. You don’t look like a 19 year old boy at all, Little Brother.” Sun Shuang laughed loudly when he heard Jia Hao’s frankness.
” Very well, Mr. Sun. I shall state my price now.” Jia Hao looked at him. ” How about two billion yuan?”
” What? Two billion yuan?”
Everyone’s expression changed when they heard Jia Hao stating the price.
” Little brother, Don’t you think that’s an outrageous amount?” Sun Shuang’s expression stiffened as he spoke.
” Indeed, Two billion yuan for this treasure is too high, Jia Hao.” Chen Mo also nodded.
” Well, I know it’s a bit too expensive for my treasure. But I am not just asking money for this treasure.” Jia Hao grinned. ” Mr. Sun, I just saved you from a big loss. Should I not take some reward for myself?”
” Well…”
” Not to mention, as I said…” Jia Hao looked at Sun Shuang with a calm gaze. ” Sometimes, Connection is worth more than money, no?”
” And, it’s not one sided connection. If I am getting benefit from you, then you would be also getting benefit from me.”
” So, What do you say, Mr. Sun? Are you in?” Jia Hao looked at him intently.
” I understand what you are saying, Little Brother. However, Two billion…”
” I know as a businessman, It’s your nature to negotiate.” Jia Hao waved his hand. ” However, Sometimes, You need to look at the bigger picture.”
” However, I can cut the price in half and sell this to you for one billion yuan.” Jia Hao suddenly spoke.
” Oh? And what’s the condition?”
Sun Shuang didn’t haggle on the price anymore as he looked at Jia Hao.
” Bring down Li Tao, the owner of Qingzhou Gallery.” Jia Hao spoke in a light voice.
” It looks like Little Brother has some grudge against Li Tao?” Chen Mo looked at Jia Hao with curiosity. Jia Hao didn’t elaborate much as he nodded.
” Unless he dies or get locks in the jail permanently, I can’t sit in peace.”
” That’s some deep grudge.” Sun Shuang chuckled as he looked at Jia Hao.
” Alright, One billion yuan along with taking out Li Tao. I accept this deal.”
” It’s a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Sun.”
Jia Hao and Sun Shuang shook their hands as Xu Fu took the small statue with him.
” Here, This is my number. If anything happens, give me a direct call.”
” As you say, Uncle Sun.”
” Haha! Good lad.”
After leaving, Jia Hao went to the bank to upgrade his account to a VVIP account. Seeing the amount in his account, and the involvement of Sun Shuang, the manager treated Jia Hao with utmost respect.
” Hahaha, Fuck this!” Jia Hao laughed loudly when he saw more than one billion yuan in his account.
” Earning money is truly easy, eh? Especially when you have the capabilities.”
Jia Hao was in a good mood as he walked in the street. After all, who wouldn’t be happy to receive a billion yuan?
As he was passing through, his attention fell on a hawker.
” Believe the Taoist Temple! Believe the law of heaven! This talisman can bring good fortune to you!”
” A talisman which can ward off evil! And a talisman which can bring good fortune! There are also rare pills, Only for you!”
He was also selling a lot of trinkets along with the talismans. Out of curiosity, he walked toward him.
[ Good Luck Talisman: Made with yellow printed paper and red ink. Lowest quality fake good]
[ Evil Expelling Talisman: Made with yellow printed paper and red ink. Lowest quality fake good]
[ Attraction Talisman: Made with yellow printed paper and red ink. Lowest quality fake good]
[ Evil Expelling Talisman: Made with yellow peach paper and black dog blood ink. Better Quality Fake Good]
‘ Eh? It’s fake but better quality?’ Jia Hao was surprised as he thought about it.
He saw the remark and couldn’t help but get intrigued. Then he saw another bottle.
[ Pills of Charm: Made with chocolate and a bit of opium. It can get a bit addictive but not dangerous to health. Better quality fake good]
” What talisman is this?” Jia Hao walked to that hawker as he asked in curiosity.
” Hoho, Young man, It looks like you have fate with my great items today.” The hawker spoke like a true professional with a smile plastered on his face.
” This is an Evil Expelling Talisman. If you carry it with you, no evil spirit could come within twenty meter radius of yours. And if you tear it, it will create a blinding blast of energy, exorcising it instantly.”
” Oh? That sounds powerful.” Jia Hao’s eyes shone with excitement as he spoke.
” Don’t worry, Everything I said is true.” The hawker coughed. ” Since it’s your fateful day, This talisman would cost you 10,000 Yuan.”
” Ten thousand?” Jia Hai was perplexed. ” Isn’t that too expensive? I would rather buy something else. Like…What’s this bottle.”
” This is a Bottle of Charming Pill.” The hawker grinned. ” Hehe, Do you have a crush? If you feed her this pill, she will start to get affectionate towards you.”
” This bottle costs 20,000 yuan.”
” Both of them for 500 Yuan.” Jia Hao spoke in a calm voice.
” What?” The hawker’s face turned hard. ” Little brother, I am also a business man. How about 15,000 Yuan for both of them?”
” 800 Yuan.”
” 5000 Yuan for both of them.”
” 1000, Take it or I will leave.” Jia Hao’s expression didn’t change.
” Alright, Alright… Here, Take this.” The hawker grumbled as the passed the items to Jia Hao.
Jia Hao passed him a thousand yuan before leaving quickly.
” Hehe, I still made a profit of over 800 Yuans. Not bad, my skills are still there.”
The hawker grinned as he resumed shouting about his treasures.
