My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 40: Shocking Price

Yu Tianshuo paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "However, although the smelting and carving techniques resemble those of the Shang Dynasty, the craftsmanship is far more refined than anything produced during that time."

He then picked up the dragon gold vase and showed her the bottom. "Miss Bai, please look at this."

Bai Hanyun leaned closer and saw a round marking on the base of the vase. She thought for a second and asked, "Is this the imperial mark of the dynasty?" freewebnøvel.com

Yu Tianshuo nodded. "This writing resembles the writing used in ancient texts used during the Shang Dynasty. I have studied ancient texts for decades, and based on the Shang Dynasty’s ancient text, this character should be read as ’Yu.’"

After saying this, Yu Tianshuo frowned and added, "It’s just that... whether it’s an official history record or an unofficial history record, there is no record of the Yu Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hanyun’s heart skipped a beat.

She stared at the imperial mark at the base of the dragon gold vase and thought, ’Feng Xiyan was a general from the Yu Dynasty, but there’s no record of this Yu Dynasty in our historical record. Is he really from another world?’

While Bai Hanyun was deep in thought, Yu Tianshuo looked at her and said, "Miss Bai, these antiques are too valuable. This antique store might not be able to purchase them all."

Hearing this, Bai Hanyun came out of her thoughts. She looked at Yu Tianshuo and asked, "Master Yu, if I want to sell them, do you know where I can go?"

As an expert in the antique field, Bai Hanyun was certain that Yu Tianshuo had connections for acquiring or selling antiques.

Yu Tianshuo chuckled and replied, "Miss Bai is very perceptive. I do have a channel regarding this matter."

After saying that, He then took out a name card and placed it on the low table.

"My family owns an auction house in the capital. This is the contact information of the manager. If you are interested, Miss Bai can bring your antiques there for auction."

Bai Hanyun picked up the name card and examined it. ’Gu Bao Auction House. Isn’t this the largest auction house in this country? I wonder who this Master Yu really is.’

Putting the name card away, she said, "Thank you, Master Yu. I will visit the auction house when I have time."

Yu Tianshuo glanced at the antiques on the low table and asked, "Miss Bai, would you be willing to sell these five huanghuali wooden boxes, the pair of dragon and phoenix gold vases, and this set of wine cups and jugs to me?"

Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up at his words, and she replied with a smile, "Of course. Master Yu, how much are you offering for them?"

After a moment of consideration, Yu Tianshuo replied, "How about 2 billion?"

Bai Hanyun was stunned when she heard the price. Once she recovered, she swallowed nervously and asked, "Master Yu, are you serious? You are offering 2 billion for these antiques?"

Yu Tianshuo nodded and calmly explained, "Yes. That might sound high, but considering their historical value, these antiques are priceless. By paying you 2 billion, I’m actually making a huge profit."

Seeing that he was serious, Bai Hanyun took a deep breath and agreed, "Alright. Then I will sell them to Master Yu for 2 billion."

Getting her positive answer, Yu Tianshuo smiled until his eyes curved like crescent moons.

"Then let’s proceed with the purchasing contract." He said as he pressed the bell on the low table.

Soon after, Fu Jiarong arrived and asked, "Grandpa, do you need something?"

Yu Tianshuo turned to his granddaughter and instructed, "Jiarong, prepare a purchase contract for Miss Bai."

Fu Jiarong nodded and asked, "Which antiques are you buying, and for how much?"

Yu Tianshuo pointed to the items and replied, "Five huanghuali boxes for 500 million, the pair of dragon and phoenix gold vases for 800 million, four wine cups for 100 million each, and the wine jug for 300 million—totalling 2 billion."

As soon as he finished, Fu Jiarong’s jaw dropped. She rubbed her ears and asked, "Grandpa, did you just say 2 billion?"

When she asked, Yu Tianshuo gave her a disapproving look and sighed, "You should get your ears checked."

Fu Jiarong coughed lightly and quickly said, "I will go prepare the contract immediately."

After she left, Yu Tianshuo gestured to the assistant standing on the side. "Help Miss Bai pack the remaining antiques into some boxes."

"Yes, Old Master."

While waiting for the contract, the assistant and Fu Rongchen returned with a few boxes.

Once they finished packing the remaining antiques, Fu Rongchen asked, "Miss Bai, would you like me to arrange a security team to escort you back?"

Before learning the value of the antiques, Bai Hanyun had treated them casually. Now, knowing their worth, she suddenly felt nervous carrying them.

’Brother Hua won’t come to work until tomorrow. To be safe, it’s best to accept his offer.’

Making her decision, she nodded. "Thank you, Young Master Fu."

"Alright. Then I will arrange security to escort you," Fu Rongchen replied before heading down.

About ten minutes later, Fu Jiarong returned with two contracts. She placed them in front of Bai Hanyun and her maternal grandfather.

"Please review the contract carefully. If there is no problem, you may sign."

After saying that, she then stepped aside as the two read the documents.

Finding no issues, Bai Hanyun and Yu Tianshuo signed them. Once they were done, Yu Tianshuo glanced at the assistant.

Taking the cue, the assistant stepped forward, placed a bank card on the table, and said, "Miss Bai, there is 2 billion in this card. It has no password."

Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up as she picked up the black bank card. Smiling at Yu Tianshuo, she said, "Thank you, Master Yu and Master Li. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
