Chapter 64: [64] Do you believe me? _1
Tang Feng originally thought that dealing in antiques was very simple, you see an item you like, and you just buy it with money.

Buy right and you profit, buy wrong and you lose.

He didn’t expect there to be so many tricks to it.

If he didn’t learn these things, he would definitely suffer some hidden losses.

“Do you have any other questions?” After Zhang Jicheng finished speaking, he turned to look at him.

“Before, I thought I knew everything, but today I realized I was just a frog in a well. Master, rest assured, I will study diligently with you and strive to stand on my own in the antique world soon, not letting down your teachings,” Tang Feng said this time very earnestly, without a hint of joking.

“A student worth teaching, a student worth teaching indeed!” Zhang Jicheng instinctively moved towards his beard, then suddenly realized he didn’t have one.

Alas, it seemed growing a beard would need to be put on the schedule, otherwise, it would be unnatural to try to impress his disciple in the future.

Qin Yanan was also looking at Tang Feng with a face full of joy.

At this moment, Tang Feng, no longer the frivolous and slick figure of his past, appeared to have become much more mature and stable.

“When this kid gets serious, he really is a talent that can be shaped,” she thought.

“Yeah, yeah, ‘A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold’…”

Just as the two of them were feeling heartened by Tang Feng’s transformation, they heard him suddenly say in a sneaky way, “I noticed just now that Mr. Pei returned some merchandise to the supplier. Since he doesn’t want it anymore, would it be breaking the rules if we bought it?”

“Uh…”

Zhang Jicheng and Qin Yanan were immediately at a loss for words.

They had just praised him, and now this guy was thinking about intercepting someone else’s business?

However, after thinking for a moment, Zhang Jicheng shook his head, “Since Mr. Pei doesn’t want it, it certainly doesn’t count as intercepting. But with Mr. Pei’s discerning eye, he must have a reason not to want it. That item probably isn’t worth much.”

Ye Feng, however, shook his head with certainty, “No, I’ve already checked it out, it’s a stamp, and it has a huge potential for appreciation. If we collect it, we’ll definitely make a profit.”

Qin Yanan and Zhang Jicheng exchanged glances, unsure whether to believe him.

Seeing their hesitation, Tang Feng decisively made a decision, “Since it’s not against the rules for me to do this, I hope you’ll trust me this one time.”

After speaking, he walked quickly outside.

Qin Yanan and Zhang Jicheng had no choice but to follow.

By this time, Pei Tianyuan and the supplier had already settled the deal, and the supplier was about to close up the truck and leave.

“Wait a moment.”

Tang Feng jogged over, blocking the little mustache.

“Do you need something else?” The little mustache, thinking he was an employee from Shengdingxuan Antique Shop, stopped to ask.

“I think I saw Mr. Pei return an item. May I see it?” Tang Feng got straight to the point.

Pei Tianyuan was just about to return inside with his colleagues when he heard this and they all stopped in their tracks.

The little mustache scanned Tang Feng before reluctantly opening the truck door again, taking out a sealed box.

Tang Feng stepped forward, skillfully opening the box.

Inside the foam container was a very rustic wooden box.

This box was about the size of a palm and carved very exquisitely.

When the box was opened, inside lay a black and white stamp.

The stamp featured a woman’s portrait and the number “12” at each of its corners.

“Canadian Black Queen?”

Qin Yanan immediately recognized the value of this stamp.

The others, while silent, clearly recognized it as well.

The Canadian Black Queen stamp is considered one of the more famous stamps worldwide.

Because the stamp was printed with black ink featuring Queen Victoria of Canada, it was thus known as “Black Queen.”

Introduced in 1851, a total of one thousand were sold, with supposedly only ten remaining, making it extremely precious.

Previously, at an auction, a Black Queen stamp had fetched 480,000 US dollars, which is about more than 3 million Dragon Country currency.

The little mustache supplier immediately gave a thumbs up, “The lady has good eye-sight, this indeed is the Black Queen, with only ten left in the world, and this is the only one in Dragon Country. It has great potential for appreciation.”

“What’s your asking price for this stamp?” Zhang Jicheng suddenly asked at this point.

“A fixed price, 2.88 million.” The little mustache stated the price while Pei Tianyuan was present, evidently, it was the same price he had just quoted.

“2.88 million? Let’s forget it then,” Zhang Jicheng immediately shook his head upon hearing the price.

Although a Black Queen had previously sold for over 3 million Dragon Country currency at an auction, that was, after all, during an auction.

If it was sold in a store, the price likely wouldn’t exceed 3 million and it might sell for even less.

Moreover, they had no idea how long they would need to keep it in the store. The issue of capital tied up was also a big problem.

Put bluntly, it was high risk and low profit, hardly worth it.

Upon hearing this, the little mustache supplier didn’t try to argue further and went to put the stamp away.

“Wait a minute,” Tang Feng suddenly interrupted, “Could the price be lowered a bit?”

The supplier, looking skeptically at him and then at Zhang Jicheng, wondering which one could make the decision, still nodded, “If you’re really interested, I can waive the change, 2.8 million.”

Tang Feng pretended to contemplate for a moment, then turned to look at Qin Yanan and Zhang Jicheng, “I think this deal is worth making.”

Qin Yanan furrowed her brow, “The auction records for this stamp are only a little over 3 million. Being able to sell it for 2.8 million would be good enough. Buying it at this price leaves no profit margin.”

Tang Feng looked at her earnestly, “Do you trust me?”

Qin Yanan was momentarily embarrassed and turned to look at Zhang Jicheng.

“Feng, don’t mess around, this is nearly 3 million in funds, it’s not a game,” Zhang Jicheng also had no choice but to try to dissuade him.

But Tang Feng turned a deaf ear to their persuasion, “If the shop isn’t willing to buy it, I’ll pay for it out of my own pocket.”

Seeing him speak so firmly, Qin Yanan could only nod in agreement, “Alright then, we’ll follow your advice and buy it for 2.8 million.”

The stamp didn’t have any issues, it truly was the Black Queen, and it was indeed worth the price.

At worst, buying it to keep in the shop wouldn’t lead to a significant loss.

She didn’t want to cause Tang Feng any bad feelings over such a small matter.

So she agreed on the spot.
