BXBX NOVEL Chapter 491: Four Popular Young Actresses
Up ahead, a large crowd of people of every skin color gathered.
Since An Nuonuo was curious, Jiang Xu led her over to take a look. It was a rather large stall.
Three men with black hair and yellow skin were peddling their wares there. “Come take a look, all fine items, all ZS-sourced straight from Dragon Country.”
“Many antiques here, several hundreds, even thousands of years old.” “Affordable prices, buying is earning.”
An Nuonuo watched in shock as she said to Jiang Xu, “Brother Xu, can they really do this?”
Jiang Xu’s expression darkened, “As long as there’s profit to be had, some people will do anything.”
He stared at the antiques on the stall.
Unsure how many were authentic, how many fake.
But anyway, since he had seen them, he couldn’t just pretend he hadn’t.
He said to An Nuonuo, “Don’t speak when the time comes, I’ll handle it.”
Then he crouched down, casually picked up a silver bowl, and in standard English asked, “Are these all real?”
One of the stallholders clapped his chest, “Of course, we brothers went to great lengths to get these.”
Jiang Xu curiously asked, “Then why are you guys just casually setting up a stall here? Isn’t that a big loss?”
“Ah, there’s no helping it, we brothers just arrived here and haven’t made the right connections and channels.
To avoid starving, we had to sell a batch off cheaply.”
Actually, there was a truth the other party didn’t mention.
That was, these items all bore Eastern elements.
And the people here did not possess the corresponding aesthetic appreciation.
Simply put, it was like casting pearls before swine.
So, offloading them was no easy task.
Jiang Xu’s eyes flickered.
Unsure how much truth there was in their words.
He looked at the bowl in his hands and the roughly two hundred items on the stall.
He proposed, “Package deal for all of these, 500,000 Eagle Bang.”
“No way, that’s too low. These are all quality goods, altogether they’re worth at least a billion Eagle Bang.”
Jiang Xu set the bowl down, “Goodbye.”
After saying that, he stood up and left without hesitation.
The three stallholders immediately became anxious.
“Don’t go, let’s discuss this slowly.”
“500,000 Eagle Bang is really too little.”
“Add a bit more.”
“Fine, fine, 500,000 it is!”
The three stallholders, seeing Jiang Xu had no intention of staying, ultimately had to compromise.
Jiang Xu returned to the stall and paid the money without fuss.
He had the bodyguards pack up the items to take away.
He also took their contact information.
Jiang Xu needed to first confirm whether these items were genuine.
If they were fake, it was merely a loss of a few hundred thousand, which meant nothing to him.
But if they were authentic, that would be quite something.
Through Zhang San, Jiang Xu found an antique appraisal shop.
Also run by people from his country.
The location was very hidden, hard to find without the exact address. An old man in his seventies with reading glasses was responsible for the appraisals.
When he saw the pile of items Jiang Xu brought in, he got excited instantly.
He picked up an ancient book and studied it carefully.
A few minutes later, he put down the book and spoke gravely to Jiang Xu, “This is a medical book from the Tang Dynasty.
While damaged, it’s still hugely valuable.
Based on the domestic market, it’s estimated to be worth between two and three million.”
Jiang Xu instinctively sat up straight.
The first item appraised was genuine; then the rest of these items…
The old man spent over two hours appraising all the antiques.
Out of a total of one hundred and five items, twenty-eight were fakes, and the rest were genuine.
The total value was staggering, well over a hundred million.
The old man asked Jiang Xu if he was willing to sell the antiques, as he was prepared to offer a high price for them.
Jiang Xu shook his head and declined.
He planned to transport the antiques back home and turn them over to the state.
Goods that came out of ZS must be allowed to flow back.
He arranged for the antiques to be sent home first and then contacted the three dealers.
He intended to buy up all the remaining items they had.
Soon, it was the middle of April.
The performance of Nuonuo Investment Limited Liability Company was getting better and better.
If assessed against the KPIs initially set by An Feng, they had achieved ninety percent.
During this period, Jiang Xu had also bought more than a thousand antiques from those three dealers in several deals.
He had spent about six hundred million Eagle Bang.
Even Jiang Xu himself found it unbelievable.
Those people could simply be described as utterly ruthless.
A conservative estimate put the value of these antiques at over five hundred million.
Moreover, Jiang Xu had become familiar with those antique dealers and had gained a certain level of their trust.
He knew when they would be returning to the country next time.
As soon as they returned to the country, he could immediately alert the authorities and have them apprehended.
Furthermore, Jiang Xu had chartered a ship in advance, planning to personally transport the antiques back home.
An Nuonuo would also be returning with him.
After all, they had been abroad for a long time and were missing their homeland.
At that moment, Jiang Xu’s phone rang.
It was a call from Ally.
Boss, a vice president of Sansang Group wants to meet you. He happens to be
in Eagle Country, too, and is asking if you have time,” Ally said.
“Hmm?” Jiang Xu was mildly puzzled, “What does Sansang want with me?”
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Ally indicated she wasn’t sure.
After some thought, Jiang Xu agreed.
At five-thirty in the afternoon, Jiang Xu met Jin Zhizhang, the vice president of Sansang Group, at a Michelin restaurant.
A middle-aged man, short in stature with a bald head and a somewhat sleazy appearance.
The only distinguishing feature was his eyes, which gave the impression they were not to be underestimated.
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but clap his hands.
Good name.
“Mr. Jiang, I have long admired your reputation. It is truly an honor to meet you
here,” Jin Zhizhang extended his hand, speaking fluent Mandarin.
Jiang Xu briefly shook hands with him.
Once seated, it was mostly Jin Zhizhang talking, with Jiang Xu occasionally responding.
He did not take the initiative to ask what the purpose of Jin Zhizhang’s meeting was.? b
“Mr. Jiang, it’s quite boring for just the two of us men to dine. I’ve brought a
few girls,” Jin Zhizhang said and then clapped his hands.
The door was pushed open, and four girls with distinct styles entered.
The first girl was about one meter seventy.
She had a fresh and clean look, exuding an artsy vibe.
The second girl was rather petite, with a mole on her nose which didn’t detract
from her beauty but instead added a unique charm.
The third girl gave off a very sultry vibe; her facial features were exquisitely refined, very upscale.
The fourth girl came with long wavy hair, enchanting when she smiled.
Jin Zhizhang introduced each one, “Mr. Jiang, these four ladies are popular
female talents from Universe Country.
Their names are Cui Zhiyou, Han Jiaren, Quan Zhixian, and Li Duohai respectively.”
Jiang Xu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He recognized all four female stars.
Not to mention elsewhere, but in his home country, each of them had a massive
fan base.
