103: Big shots have appeared! This is insane!
baka Cat LV30.
He's someone who spends frequently, often sending gifts.
His comment was quite conspicuous among the numerous bullet screens.
Those netizens who were still skeptical, seeing "baka Cat" being so generous, expressed their confusion and inability to understand.
— [Brother baka Cat, you're confused!]
— [It's just a model toy, Brother! If you want more, I'll send you a few!]
— [Is this the consumption philosophy of a rich person?]
— [At most, it's a broken rock. Spending 1 million to buy it is pure idiocy!]
— [Brother baka Cat, think twice! Don't get scammed!]
In appraisal livestream rooms, it's not uncommon for appraisers to need the streamer to appraise something, and then a buyer in the livestream room takes a liking to it, leading to a private negotiation and transaction between the two parties.
Some succeed, but of course, many fail... If it's valuable, the owner might not sell it; if it's worthless, no one would likely be interested.
But for "baka Cat" to take a liking to it and directly offer 1 million to buy it?
Unheard of!
At this moment, netizens on the bullet screen were all trying to dissuade him.
Their thought process was like this: I can be poor, but I can't stand by and watch others get rich easily!
Damn it, a broken rock being hyped for 1 million? Where did this foolish rich person come from?
Give me 1 million, let alone carving, I could lick it into shape with my tongue... Ideas kept popping up.
Wang Fan looked at the bullet screen, sensing the sour stench emanating through the screen.
Envy? Jealousy?
Wang Fan shook his head and said, "Sorry... 1 million is not enough!"
Hiss!
As soon as he said this, the tens of thousands of fans in the livestream room erupted like a boiling oil pot!
— [Holy crap?! Holy crap?! Holy crap!?]
— [It's a big forest, so there are all kinds of stupid birds, right!?]
— [First, Brother baka Cat throws a million at a broken rock, then some brain-dead person actually refuses to sell it!?]
— [To this, I can only say: where there is a Sleeping Dragon, there is also a Young Phoenix!]
— [Indeed... Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix like to appear together; if even one were missing, it wouldn't create this effect!]
— [Damn it, I'm so jealous I want to kick my dog!!!]
The livestream room's bullet screen was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
And just as everyone was arguing and finding it incredibly unbelievable, the streamer, who had been silent, now had a glint in his eyes, fixed directly on the imperial seal of china.
He smiled and said, "Big shot..."
"I see your item is indeed excellent."
"I, myself, am quite fond of antiques."
"Let's not talk about the authenticity of the item for now."
"I want to ask, Big shot, do you have any intention of transferring or selling it?"
"If so, we can meet privately to discuss it properly..."
"Perhaps... I can offer you a satisfactory and suitable price?"
All netizens: ???
What does the streamer mean? He wants to buy this broken rock too!?
Oh my goodness... The livestream room's popularity remained high, and fans and netizens were attracted by the streamer's unusual behavior.
They began to seriously and carefully examine and search online for information related to the imperial seal of china.
Some even used their connections to ask elders or knowledgeable people for appraisal.
In an instant, the direction of the livestream room changed rapidly because of the streamer's few words.
— [What does the streamer mean?]
— [Without even mentioning authenticity, he immediately says he wants to buy it?]
— [Holy crap... there must be something fishy about this rock?]
— [No profit, no early rise; a Weasel paying respects to a chicken... I knew the streamer was cunning!]
— [Don't rush! I've asked someone to show it to other appraisal Experts...]
The power of the internet is immense.
Within a few minutes, those who had asked elders or knowledgeable people for appraisal immediately gave a reply: Buy it!
Question: Is this item real?
Answer: If the seller is willing to sell, buy it no matter the price!
No one explicitly said whether it was real or fake.
Those with whom the relationship wasn't good disappeared after asking for the livestream room's location.
Those with good relationships only left a single, enigmatic sentence.
Soon, the livestream room grew from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people!
Among them, some had gotten wind of the news and snuck over from Su Yun's program livestream room.
Another part consisted of numerous well-known collectors from the antique and curio world.
The news spread faster and faster, and the number of people in the livestream room quickly broke the one-million mark!
The bullet screen was densely packed with bidding comments.
— [baka Cat: Big shot! I'll offer five times the price! Five million! Will you sell?]
— [One Bite Ten Kids: Five million for the imperial seal of china? You're dreaming! I'll offer twenty million!]
— [Treasure Pavilion: Don't fight over it, our Pavilion Master says he's willing to offer one hundred million!]
— [Holy crap!? Even people from Kyoto's Treasure Pavilion have been drawn in!?]
— [Damn it! It's really an official account! Offering one hundred million!?]
— [What's going on? Why are there so many antique big shots all of a sudden?]
The style of the livestream room's bullet screen suddenly changed.
One real-life big shot after another jumped out to bid.
Even the most foolish netizens had already realized: the imperial seal of china was real!
At this moment, the streamer, looking at the bids that had already reached five hundred million, smiled bitterly.
He thought to himself: 'Sigh... what a pity, what a pity. I should have ended the broadcast immediately.'
He thought: If he had ended the broadcast and contacted Wang Fan privately, there might still have been a chance.
Now... the streamer had no advantage whatsoever, and he couldn't even close his livestream room.
With so many antique big shots present, if he dared to close it, he wouldn't be able to stay in the business anymore... So, the streamer, to protect himself, remained silent.
Since there was no opportunity, he might as well just watch the excitement... Coincidentally, more and more big shots appeared in the livestream room, and many were generous with gifts!
Among them... the people from Treasure Pavilion and Imperial Cuisine Restaurant were the most eye-catching.
Treasure Pavilion is the largest and most famous antique shop in Kyoto's antique market.
Old Pavilion Master Li, a passionate collector, cherishes ancient artifacts and antiques as if they were his life.
He finally spoke: "Friend! If you are interested, why not visit our Treasure Pavilion another day?"
"The value of the imperial seal of china cannot be measured by money, but... my Treasure Pavilion is willing to exchange it for a stack of items..."
Imperial Cuisine Restaurant has a long heritage.
In Kyoto's culinary world, it is a leading figure, occupying a dominant position... The founder of Imperial Cuisine Restaurant was an old man, a former imperial chef.
Many years later, the position was passed down generation by generation to the founder's grandson.
This person shared similar hobbies with Old Pavilion Master Li, enjoying collecting and antiques... When he learned of the appearance of the imperial seal of china, this young boss stated directly: "If my friend is willing to part with it..."
"My Imperial Cuisine Restaurant is willing to give away 49% of its shares!"
... — [Crazy!]
— [What kind of place is Treasure Pavilion? If I'm not mistaken, any random item in there starts at tens of millions, right?]
— [When it comes to antiques, who can be more respected than Old Pavilion Master Li!?]
— [Damn it, what's the market valuation of Imperial Cuisine Restaurant? Who can tell me how much 49% of the shares are worth!]
