The second small box opened.
Inside was the diamond ring Jiang Tao had just dug out from a nest last night.
"Hey, this is a Tiffany Palomaās Melody series diamond ring!"
Zhang Boās family runs an antique auction house, and besides researching antiques, he has some knowledge of luxury goods.
At first glance at the diamond ring in the box, he accurately called out its name.
He pulled out a pair of white silk gloves from his pocket and put them on.
Zhang Bo took the diamond ring to his eye, and turned it over and looked at it for more than three minutes.
Then he used the heat conduction instrument and microscope specifically for diamond appraisal at his shop for detailed observation.
"Thereās no issue with this ring either, itās genuine!"
After some testing, Zhang Bo confirmed the ringās authenticity, and his gaze towards Jiang Tao became eager.
With a luxury ring like Tiffany, the profit between buying and selling is quite considerable.
Jiang Tao didnāt bother with small talk with Zhang Bo and directly asked, "How much will you pay?"
Zhang Bo thought for a moment and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldnāt even care for 200,000, but for Brother Jiang, Iāll make it 230,000 for you."
"Alright! Letās go with 230,000 then."
Jiang Tao didnāt feel like wandering around to other places.
Zhang Boās offer roughly matched his expectations, so he readily agreed.
Zhang Bo laughed and said, "Doing business with Brother Jiang is really delightful!"
Jiang Tao joked with a smile, "Youāre quite the crafty merchant, thinking Iām honest and easy to fool, huh?"
Zhang Bo chuckled, "No way! I wouldnāt dare trick Brother Jiang! Youāre my God of Wealth!"
Jiang Tao teased, "God of Wealth? Iām just your Wealth-Sending Boy."
"Hehe, itās a win-win cooperation! We just make a bit of hard-earned money, canāt compare to Brother Jiang."
Zhang Bo laughed and opened the largest wooden box.
The moment the wooden box was opened, a rotten peanut butter smell filled the room.
Inside the box, the black meteorite was revealed to Zhang Bo.
"Hey, this is... a meteorite!"
Seeing the meteorite, Zhang Boās eyes lit up.
His family had done many business deals in exotic stones, including trading meteorites.
But a meteorite emitting a peculiar smell like Jiang Taoās was indeed rare.
"I bought it from a herdsman while traveling recently. Does your family accept this?"
Jiang Tao naturally wouldnāt tell the truth and casually made up a lie to fool Zhang Bo.
Zhang Bo said, "We do accept them, but this field hits my blind spot. Please wait, Brother Jiang, Iāll make a video call to my dad and let him have a look."
"You need more practice, kid."
Jiang Tao teased him with a smile, feeling quite respectful towards Zhang Boās dad, who was likely either fishing or on his way to fish.
Even not present at the scene, Zhang Long could determine authenticity and dare to offer a high price for items just through a screen look.
In the antiques field, Zhang Longās expertise was not far behind the recently famous Qingquan.
Beep beep beepā
Zhang Bo quickly dialed his dadās phone.
The phone screen flashed, showing a scruffy, slightly unkempt man with a greasy face.
Judging from the background, Zhang Long was fishing at the moment.
"Whatās up, son? Hurry up and speak, donāt waste time; Iām busy here."
Zhang Longās carefree voice echoed.
Ever since handing the shop over to his son, Old Zhang had completely let go and taken fishing as his second career in life.
"Dad, Brother Jiang is here, and he brought an intriguing item today. We need your appraisal."
Zhang Bo didnāt bother roasting Old Deng and turned the phone camera towards the meteorite Jiang Tao brought.
"Wow! Xiao Jiang is really resourceful, can get his hands on anything!"
"This thing is a meteorite!"
Zhang Long took one look, found some clues, and asked:
"Does this thing have a smell like rotten peanut butter?"
"Yes, yes! How did you know, Dad? Youāre amazing!"
Zhang Bo was awe-struck by his dadās words, realizing the gap between himself and his dad.
"Xiao Jiang is a familiar face, letās give a fair price, 6,000 yuan per gram."
"If he agrees, weāll take it."
"If the price doesnāt fit, letās wait for another collaboration opportunity."
"Oh my! Iāve got a fish here, Iām hanging up, hanging up!"
Zhang Long finished his sentence and hung up without waiting for Zhang Bo to respond.
Zhang Bo heard his dadās offer loud and clear.
6,000 yuan per gram!!
The price of this black, carbon-ball-like stone was several times more expensive than gold!
Currently, the market transaction price for gold is about 800 yuan, even at its high.
A few years back, gold was only three to four hundred yuan per gram!
The price of this meteorite far exceeded Zhang Boās imagination!
He wasnāt sure if he misheard and considered calling his dad back.
As if knowing what he thought.
Zhang Boās phone chimed, receiving a WeChat message from his dad, Zhang Long.
The message clearly stated ā Purchase price 6,000 yuan/gram!
"Brother Jiang, you heard my dad, 6,000 is the highest we can offer, so..."
Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao, seeking his opinion.
"Alright! 6,000 it is then! Since your dad spoke, Iāll definitely give face."
Upon hearing Zhang Longās offer, Jiang Tao readily agreed, liking him even more.
Old Zhang is indeed a good guy!
