Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 106 5 Colored Jade

"It seems that you are very familiar with this place. Do you come here often?" Shen Wei asked.

"Well, many people come here hoping to find something they can get, and if they do, it's like winning the lottery." Shen Wei nodded and said, "But the probability of finding something they can get is even lower than winning the lottery."

Lin Fan asked with a smile, "Do you occasionally accompany your grandfather here? He seems particularly interested in these antiques."

"That's right," Shen Wei responded, "My grandfather is passionate about these old things, and I occasionally accompany him here."

"Xiao Fan, how about we find someone to identify that piece of colorful jade first, and then take a leisurely stroll around?" Shen Wei suggested.

"Good idea." Lin Fan agreed.

Soon after, they walked into a large antique shop.

"My grandfather often buys things here and is quite familiar with the owner, Mr. Chen." Shen Wei whispered, "Mr. Chen is quite famous in the antique world in this area and is a man who knows his stuff."

As soon as he finished speaking, a plump man in his fifties came out to greet him. "Oh, Master Shen, you are such a rare guest. Welcome!"

"Boss Chen, let's not be polite. I came here today to ask you for a favor. I have a treasure that I want you to identify." Shen Wei said with a smile.

After entering the VIP room, Shen Wei introduced Lin Fan to Boss Chen. "Boss Chen, this is my brother Fan."

Boss Chen was surprised. Someone who was respected so highly by Young Master Shen must be extraordinary. "Young Master Lin, I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

Lin Fan didn't waste any words and directly handed over the multicolored jade. "Boss Chen, please take a look at this multicolored jade."

Boss Chen carefully took the jade and examined it carefully. "Master Lin, do you want to know its historical background or its market value?"

"Both sides want to know." Lin Fan looked at Boss Chen with bright eyes, his heart full of anticipation.

Boss Chen took a magnifying glass and examined it again. "As for its origin, I'm shortsighted and can't really tell. But as for its value, this jade is truly of premium quality. Uncarved, it retains its natural beauty. It's certainly worth a fortune."

"Stop beating around the bush and just tell us how much it can be sold for." Shen Wei asked directly.

Boss Chen smiled bitterly, "Master Shen, you are really quick to speak. The value of this jade is probably around several million."

"Only a few million?" Shen Wei frowned dissatisfiedly, "How can this be considered valuable?"

"Master Shen, for ordinary people, several million is already a huge sum of money." Boss Chen explained.

"Since Boss Chen isn't quite sure either, let's go ask somewhere else." Shen Wei turned to Lin Fan and suggested.

Although Lin Fan was a little disappointed, he nodded. "Thank you, Boss Chen."

"Please wait a moment, I have a friend who is an expert in archaeology and has extensive research on ancient jade. This piece of colorful jade looks quite old, and perhaps he can provide more information," said Boss Chen.

Lin Fan's eyes lit up, "Can you give us his contact information?"

"He recently went abroad to attend a seminar and will be back in a few days. How about I take you to meet him when he returns?" Boss Chen suggested.

"That's great, thank you, Boss Chen." Lin Fan said gratefully.

"Brother Fan, why don't we take this opportunity to go shopping at Boss Chen's place? The things he has are pretty good, and basically all authentic." Shen Wei suggested.

"We are honest and fair here," said Boss Chen with a smile.

"The antique business is very complicated, and you still have to rely on your eyesight." Shen Wei said with a pout.

"Haha, please feel free to look around." Lin Fan put away the five-colored jade and said to Boss Chen.

While walking around the shop, Lin Fan had an idea and tried to practice his skills to sense the spiritual energy of the antiques. However, he did not feel any spiritual energy fluctuations.

"Master Lin, you don't like the things on the first floor? How about I take you to the fourth floor?" Seeing Lin Fan shaking his head, Boss Chen said hurriedly.

"Yes, the good stuff is on the fourth floor." Shen Wei said with a wicked smile.

Lin Fan was speechless. This person's associative ability was too rich. How could he think of going to the bath center?

Climbing the stairs, he activated his Qi again, and this time he felt a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"It seems that I have unlocked a new skill, no, I should say that I have discovered a new use for true energy!" Lin Fan was secretly happy, his eyes fell on an exquisite porcelain bottle.

"Shopkeeper Chen, is there any story behind this porcelain vase?" he asked curiously.

"Young Master Lin has excellent taste!" Shopkeeper Chen exclaimed in admiration. "This porcelain vase was made by the Ming Dynasty master Kuiyuan. It's said that there are less than ten of them left today."

"How much does this one cost?" Lin Fan asked.

"Eleven million." Shopkeeper Chen gave the price.

"Let me take a look at the others." Lin Fan continued to wander around the store, trying them one by one and asking for prices.

He gradually discovered that the more spiritual these antiques possessed, the higher their prices. This was either because they were crafted by masters or grandmasters, or because they had been treasured and enjoyed by historical figures. In short, they were truly the finest of the fine.

"Shopkeeper Chen, how much is this jade ruyi?" Lin Fan asked, pointing at a jade ruyi that exuded an ancient atmosphere.

"Sixteen million."

"Shen Wei, didn't you say you wanted to pick a gift for your grandfather? I think this jade ruyi is pretty good." Lin Fan said to Shen Wei.

Shen Wei was speechless for a moment. When had he said that before? But he quickly realized, "Ah, yes, Shopkeeper Chen, please help me wrap this up."

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Chen smiled. "Master Shen, your filial piety is truly rare. I'll give you a discounted price of 15 million."

Lin Fan walked around the store. While there were a few antiques that caught his eye, the prices were ridiculously high. Without the thrill of finding a treasure, he lost the desire to buy anything.

Ten minutes later, the two left the antique shop.

"Brother Fan, what on earth is this?" Shen Wei couldn't wait to ask as soon as he went out.

"Magic weapon." Lin Fan answered simply.

"Although it's not top-tier, it's still quite rare. Let your grandfather play with it more. It's good for his health."

"Magic weapon? Oh my God!" Shen Wei opened the box and looked carefully at the jade ruyi inside.

"My grandfather once bought a defensive magical weapon that saved his life. I heard it was worth hundreds of millions."

"Well, magical tools are usually very expensive, so it's not surprising that they are worth hundreds of millions." Lin Fan nodded.

"Then won't we make a lot of money from this jade ruyi?" Shen Wei said excitedly, stroking the jade ruyi.

"Brother Fan, since you asked me to buy this jade ruyi for grandpa, I will give you another 50 million."

"Why are you giving me money? You bought the jade ruyi, and I didn't spend a penny."

"But you were the one who recommended this jade ruyi. It's probably worth hundreds of millions. Giving you 50 million is already a great bargain."
