C19 – A Fool

In the History Town.

The architecture of the History Town was imitating the style of the ancient times. The red bricks and green tiles, the sandalwood houses, and the fragrant smell of sandalwood permeated the air as soon as one walked in.

Both sides of the road were filled with small stalls and hawkers, and there were also many treasures placed on the ground.

“Quickly come and take a look! This is a new Ming Dynasty antique. I will not lie to you. All of them are real antiques!”

“All of these antiques are real. You can tell the quality of these antiques with a single glance. If you buy them, you will definitely not suffer a loss.”

“This is a high-quality Ming Blue and White porcelain. Its current price is very low, only selling for ten thousand dollars!”

These people’s shouts attracted many people to stop and watch.

Lachlan and Terry also squeezed into the crowd and carefully observed the antiques.

“Lachlan, I brought a lot of money today. As long as you like it, you can ask me to buy it for you.”

Terry patted his chest. He was rich, so he was confident.

“Thank you!”

Lachlan smiled and nodded. He did not say that he now had over ten million dollars.

Firstly, Terry did not believe it, and secondly, he did not want to be so high-profile.

“What do you think of this Ming Blue and White porcelain? The workmanship is exquisite, and the phoenix pattern is well drawn.”

Terry was extremely fond of the Ming Blue and White porcelain.

Lachlan shook his head and said, “If you want to collect it, then you can buy it. But if you want to rely on it to make money, then that’s impossible.”

“Why? Do you know antiques?” Terry asked.

“This porcelain is imitating the Rose Medallion. However, the painting of the Rose Medallion and the painting of the Qian Long era are both drawn with a single stroke, and the colors are also different. However, the phoenix wings on this porcelain are not drawn with a single stroke.”

“This porcelain is indeed authentic, but it is from the late Qing Dynasty. It only has historical value and no economic value.”

Lachlan spoke with confidence, which stunned Terry.

He could understand every word that Lachlan said, but why couldn’t he understand the words when they were combined together?

However, he understood one thing. This porcelain was worthless. At least, it was not as valuable as the stall owner had said.

“Lachlan, you are too amazing! How did you learn all this?”

“I have read some books about antiques.”

“You are really amazing!”

The two of them left the stall and continued to stroll around.

An hour later, Lachlan did not buy a single antique.

Terry was originally very fat, but now he was very tired.

“Fat Ballard, go and rest for a while. I will walk around by myself.”

“Alright!” Terry had been waiting for this. He turned around and ran straight to the milk tea shop.

Lachlan continued to walk around until he reached an antique shop.

“Hello, how much is this necklace?”

The waiter quickly walked over and said, “Sir, your taste is really good. This necklace is a good thing. The pendant is Imperial Green Jade, and the necklace is only worth sixty thousand.”

“Wait!”

Suddenly, a loud voice interrupted the waiter’s words.

A man slowly walked over. It was Lachlan, who had not seen Gregory for a long time.

Compared to before, he had taken off a lot of his childishness. His face was also angular.

With a mocking expression on his face, he said, “Lachlan, since when did you, a poor student, buy antiques?”

Gregory turned to the waiter and said, “You’ve been selling antiques for so long. Don’t tell me you don’t even have the ability to judge a person? His clothes are so shabby. Can he afford such expensive antiques? There are many customers beside him who are unattended, yet you waste time on a person who can’t afford antiques! Don’t you want this job anymore?”

“I’m sorry, but I will be receiving other customers now.”

The waiter did not dare to anger Gregory, so he went to the side to receive other guests.

However, Gregory’s voice was very loud, and everyone knew that there was a good show to watch. How could they still have the energy to watch antiques?

“Mr. Locke, please take a good look at this painting. I will transfer it to you at a low price. It will be sold for ten thousand. I urgently need money.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in with a painting in his hand.

However, anyone with a discerning eye would know that the painting was just a fake.

Gregory cursed, “You dare to sell fake paintings for ten thousand yuan? Do you think I’m a charity? What does it have to do with you that you need money urgently?”

“Mr. Locke, my family used to be part of the royal family. It is impossible for my family to leave behind a fake painting as a family heirloom.”

“Get lost. If you don’t get lost, don’t blame me for being rude.”

The middle-aged man let out a heavy sigh. He did not dare to say anything else.

“How much is this necklace?” Lachlan only wanted to buy the necklace.

“You’ve made a fortune? You can even afford an antique necklace?”

Recently, Gregory had been hanging out with his cousin, Gerald. With his ruthlessness, he had become a small leader.

This antique shop was the place where he was responsible for. He had also invested in the stock, so he had a lot of power.

“How much is it?” Lachlan did not want to bother with him.

“What are you pretending for? Your grades are good enough to be used as money? Everyone, look at this person. He is the first place in the city examination. However, he is very poor. He lives in a rented house that only has seven or eight square meters. He has nothing. He only has good grades!”

Everyone shook their heads and laughed.

In their eyes, good grades were useless. No matter how good a person was, it was impossible for them to earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in a year.

Those who could afford antiques were naturally wealthy.

“Are you still selling it? You talk too much nonsense!” Lachlan’s voice was cold. He looked like he was about to attack if he did not agree with him.

Gregory snorted coldly. He knew that he was no match for Lachlan, so of course he would not immediately provoke Lachlan.

He had already sent a message to his cousin. This time, his cousin would bring a hundred people over.

He did not believe that Lachlan would be able to escape from his grasp.

“Do you really want to buy it? Alright, seeing that you used to be a classmate of mine, I’ll sell it to you at a cheaper price. It costs two hundred thousand, you can’t bargain.”

“Alright, I’ll pay with my card.” Lachlan calmly took out his bank card and handed it to Gregory.

Gregory was stunned.

How did Lachlan get so much money?

He thought for a moment and said with a smile, “You can’t be fooling me with an empty card, right? You know there are a lot of people here, so you’re embarrassed? But if you don’t have any money in this card, you’ll be even more embarrassed.”

“Don’t buy this necklace so easily.”

Someone in the crowd saw the scene and felt that it was unbearable. He reminded, “Little brother, the Imperial Green Jade is the most valuable part of this necklace. However, this Imperial Green Jade has a lot of impurities, and its quality is not high. This necklace is not even worth twenty or thirty thousand.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’ve already sold it to him.”

Gregory had already received the money. He did not expect that Lachlan would actually have so much money.

He smiled, and his eyes narrowed into a line.

He had only spent ten thousand to buy this piece of jade. Even if he processed this piece of jade and matched it with the platinum chain, it would not be worth thirty thousand.

Lachlan, this fool, he actually spent two hundred thousand to buy this necklace. This made him earn a huge amount of money for nothing.

“He is clearly trying to cheat you! Your grades are so good, how could you not see it?” The person looked as if he was disappointed.

“He only knows how to study, but he is actually a fool!”

“That’s right. The current education is all for the sake of the exam. Those who study well are all fools.”

“He lacks common sense in life. Furthermore, he doesn’t even have the ability to observe others. No matter how good his grades are, he is still a bookworm.”

Lachlan took the necklace and finally smiled.

When the middle-aged man who sold the painting saw that Lachlan was a fool, he suddenly became lively.

“How about this painting of mine? I only sell it for fifty thousand!”
