Chapter 57 - 57 Jade Qilin! A Priceless Artifact! (2)
57 Jade Qilin! A Priceless Artifact! (2)
After all, the actress seemed to be quite rich, so unless she had time to move out her valuable belongings, there should have been much more valuable artifacts lying around.
Of course, Luo Feng was not particularly discouraged.
Though most of the ancient village’s wealth had been transported away, the regular household items such as their pots and pans were still enough to fill his stomach.
They were still worth quite a bit of money.
!!
….
…
That day, Luo Feng brought both chests back to his home.
At present, there was a huge pile of artifacts lying around in his yard.
There were all sorts of porcelain, pottery, and antique furniture contained within the pile.
News of Luo Feng discovering the ancient village as well as two chests worth of gold and silver had spread far and wide on the internet, causing Luo Feng to receive a massive popularity boom.
Moreover, Luo Feng had also received several calls from the Natural Home antique store.
They requested Luo Feng to hand over the items so that they could hold an auction for them.
They claimed that there were many customers who were interested in the items that Luo Feng had dug out.
When Luo Feng sold the cypress wood for 10 million last time, they did not hesitate to buy it.
The other party was quite generous.
Luo Feng agreed to their request and handed the items over to them for auction.
Of course, the commission was only 5%.
This was quite low.
It is worth noting that the commission for the auction house’s side can reach as high as 30%.
As such, it was clear that the low commission fees were a sign of goodwill on Natural Home’s part.
Perhaps it was because Luo Feng had a lot of antiques, which could help the auction house gain some popularity.
On that day, the owner of Natural House, Ji Shunjin, came over to Luo Feng’s house.
It was an eye-opening for the owner.
In particular, the quality of the jade Qilin was simply heaven-defying. He marveled long and hard and its beauty.
After a few days, the prices of the items Luo Feng had sent for auction had been announced.
Each official ingot was sold for 1.8 million.
Surprisingly, the Jade Qilin was sold for 15 million.
All of them were sold at at least 1.5 times higher than the price listed by the system.
The auction house was indeed a good place.
Of course, Luo Feng did not forget to go to the national tax bureau to pay the taxes.
Including the previous sales of treasures, a total of over 20 million was paid in taxes.
While the first come, first serve rule that came with discovering treasures was great, Luo Feng had to admit that he was not a fan of the exorbitant income tax that came with it.
He looked at his bank account.
He had accumulated 130 million yuan in savings.
The excavation of the ancient village had brought around 100 million yuan of profits to Luo Feng.
As for the remaining artifacts within the ancient village, Luo Feng did not particularly care about them, and had given Huang Tianba and his villagers permission to dig and keep whatever they find.
“Where should I go next?”
“I’ve basically scanned all the villages in the county!”
Luo Feng was at home, looking at the county’s map on his phone.
He was very conflicted.
If there truly was no artifact left to be uncovered in his county, he would not mind traveling from city to city in search of new treasures instead. After all, with the system in hand, Luo Feng was not worried that he would miss out on treasure.
….
….
“Wow, this young man is so handsome!”
“And he’s rich too! He spent 680 thousand yuan in a single shopping trip!”
“He bought a lot of expensive clothes.”
Luo Feng had rested for three days.
During these rest days, he had been spending money in the city and buying clothes, bags, and various other things.
There was a mink coat for his mother, a crocodile skin wallet for his father, and for himself, he bought sportswear. Each item he bought was from a big name brand, and they had all cost tens of thousands of yuan per piece.
There was a reason for their costly prices, however. They were comfortable and breathable.
Money was meant to be spent, after all. It was not Luo Feng’s fault for being rich.
During this period, Luo Feng had also taken a look at the various villas dotted around the city.
Back in the past, the issue Luo Feng faced with these villas was a lack of money, meaning that he was unable to afford them.
However, now that he had money, it was also equally as troublesome.
...
Most of the good villas were already in the hands of the rich. When Luo Feng attempted to make an appointment with the homeowners, their schedules were always full, and they said that they would contact each other when they had time.
To Luo Feng, it seemed that these wealthy people were not in a hurry to sell their villas. The impression he got was that they would sell them only if the price offered had given them astoundingly good profit margins.
Truthfully speaking, Luo Feng also knew that he had yet to really integrate into the circle of the rich.
“Damn these fangirls.”
Luo Feng stood at the checkout counter of a store, knowing that many infatuated eyes were staring at him, but he was used to it.
He pursed his lips, picked up his shopping bags and was about to leave.
However, at that moment, a young goddess dressed in black, who scored 90 points in Luo Feng’s aesthetic scale, came forward.
She did not look like an employee of the store.
Moreover, she looked to be around 20 years old, which was considered to be very young.
“Hello, Mr. Luo!”
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Xiaofang!”
...
“I’m the assistant of Ms. Su from Kang Yun Healthcare Center!”
“Ms. Su is currently dining in the Ancient Tree Cafe across the street. Please honor her with your presence.”
Su Meiji had been wanting to meet Luo Feng for the past few days.
However, she knew that Luo Feng was a busy man, especially with all the treasures he had recently unearthed.
As such, she was in no hurry. She would gladly wait until Luo Feng had finished his work.
Moreover, she now knew what Luo Feng was missing and was looking for.
“Kang Yun Healthcare Center?”
“Ms. Su?”
Luo Feng was very familiar with this name and company because he had dealt with them many times before, where they had attempted to buy honey from him.
However, upon realizing that Luo Feng had no intention of selling the honey, they had given up, or so it had seemed back then.
Who would have thought they would be looking for him now?
It is said that Ms. Su is also the number one beauty in Jiangnan.
In a place like Jiangnan, the quality of beauties was the highest in the country. In ancient times, there was a saying that Jiangnan’s beauties were the best in the world.
Jiangnan is the place with the highest quality of beauties in the country. In ancient times, there was a saying that Jiangnan beauties were the most beautiful in the world.
However, as far as Luo Feng was concerned, these so-called first beauties, second beauties, were not necessarily very beautiful. All they had was a massive reputation and fanbase.
For example, the Four Great Beauties of ancient China became famous because each of them was tied to political interests. Through their fame, people gradually started regarding them as being beautiful.
