The Amazing son in law Chapter 6707

As Zhou Liangyun made his entrance onto the antique street, a growing crowd of collectors began to gather, eager to acquire the Northern Song Dynasty bronze Buddhas displayed at the storefront.

In no time, more than a dozen Tibetan collectors had assembled outside the shop, hoping to secure a piece of history.

However, Zhou Liangyun had only ten numbers available, leading many of the hopefuls to leave in disappointment as they realized they had missed their chance. Among the fortunate ten, anxiety rippled through the crowd, especially among those holding numbers two through ten, while the individual with number one seemed calm.

The seller had clearly stated online that the price was set at a firm 20 million, and the first buyer would take precedence. If the first person decided to buy right away, the other nine would find their efforts in vain.

On the other hand, if the seller opted for a small auction on the spot, the remaining nine would still have a chance, albeit with the possibility of diminishing profits as bidding progressed.

If one were to invest 20 million, there was confidence in making an 8 million profit. Yet, if bidding ensued, the expectation might rise to at least 27 million.

But the risk was clear: pushing the bid higher could render the collection less valuable. If the item wasn’t desired, it would be a waste of time; and if it was desired, the profit margins would be minimal.

Furthermore, the timeline for cashing out remained uncertain. With a substantial investment of over 20 million, any prolonged wait would risk turning into a financial loss.

The atmosphere on the antique street was charged with curiosity and surprise.

Many onlookers were baffled as to why such a large crowd had formed outside Zhou Liangyun’s shop.

The vendor who had initially informed Chen Yufei had lost interest in his stall, his focus entirely on Zhou Liangyun’s Zhen Baoxuan. Observing the throng of people waiting, he became increasingly uneasy about the situation.

He updated Chen Yufei, who advised him to keep monitoring the scene, emphasizing the importance of witnessing how Zhou Liangyun would handle the crowd.

Meanwhile, Charlie and Claire had already taken Jacob and Elaine to the airport.

After exchanging farewells with the pair at the security checkpoint, Charlie drove Claire to her office.

Once they passed through security and customs, Jacob and Elaine settled into the first-class lounge, excitedly awaiting their boarding announcement.

Sitting comfortably on the sofa, Jacob couldn’t resist pulling out his phone to watch the video from the previous day, where Chen Yufei had exposed a fraud.

He was particularly interested in the comments section since he had posted a warning about Zhou Liangyun being deceived, advising local antique enthusiasts in Aurous Hill to steer clear of him due to his questionable taste and lack of expertise.

This comment garnered numerous likes and responses, with many thanking Jacob for the heads-up, while others took the opportunity to ridicule Zhou Liangyun.

With each mockery he read, Jacob’s satisfaction grew; it was a mix of relief and exhilaration.

At the same time, Jasmine Moore had set out early in the morning, driving to Moore Group.

During her commute, she came across several short videos and stumbled upon the one that Chen Yufei had paid to promote.

Intrigued by Ji Qingtang’s rising popularity, she watched the entire video with great interest.

After viewing it, her perspective on Chen Yufei shifted significantly.

Jasmine was well aware that Ji Qingtang’s recent performance had been declining, likely reflecting Chen Yufei’s own limitations.

However, as the head of Moore Group, valued at over 100 billion yuan, she lacked the bandwidth to delve into Ji Qingtang’s business matters. To her, it was crucial that Ji Qingtang avoided severe losses and maintained his reputation, which she had worked hard to establish, without making drastic changes to his current operations.

This mindset mirrored Mia (Liu Manqiong)’s plea to her father to preserve the snack street on Hong Kong Island, driven largely by sentimentality.
