Chapter 189 Burial Pit
Chen Di said seriously: "Boss, don't underestimate this wine bottle. Although it looks ordinary, its origin is extraordinary."
The boss chuckled and said, "Why don't you tell me about it?"
Haihua cleared his throat and said, "This wine bottle was found in an ancient wine cellar. It is said that the best wine in the world was once brewed there. Although this bottle is empty now, the historical and cultural value it carries is immeasurable."
The boss folded his hands across his chest and looked at Haihua with interest: "Interesting, then tell me, how do you plan to do this business with me?"
Haihua took a deep breath and said, "Boss, we know your status and vision in the collection world. We hope you can recognize the value of this bottle and buy it. We believe that in your hands, it can play a greater role."
The boss was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "But just your words are not enough for me to make up my mind."
Haihua hurriedly said, "Boss, you can find a professional appraiser to verify the authenticity and value of this wine bottle. If the results are not as we said, we are willing to bear all responsibilities."
The boss stood up, walked around the bottle, and said thoughtfully: "Okay, then I'll find someone to identify it. However, if this bottle is not as good as you say, you won't have a second chance."
Chen Di smiled confidently: "Boss, don't worry, I will never let you down."
Afterwards, the boss arranged for someone to invite an appraiser. Haihua waited nervously on the side, silently praying in his heart that this business would be successful.
Not long after, the appraiser hurried over. Wearing a pair of thick glasses, he carefully observed the wine bottle, sometimes picking up a magnifying glass, and sometimes gently stroking the bottle.
Chen Di and Haihua's heartbeats became faster and faster, and their hands clenched unconsciously. The boss watched the appraiser's every move quietly with a serious expression.
Finally, the appraiser raised his head, looked at the boss, and slowly said: "This wine bottle is indeed quite old, and judging from the craftsmanship and materials, it is indeed possible that it came from a wine cellar with a long history. But..."
When Haihua heard the word "but", his heart instantly rose to his throat. Haihua and his uncle Chen Di looked at each other, thinking that it was a very old junk, and didn't understand why the monster tried so hard to snatch it away?
"But its value is not as high as you think," the appraiser continued.
Haihua said hurriedly: "How could it be? This is impossible!"
The boss frowned and looked at Haihua: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Haihua tried to calm himself down and said, "Boss, the appraiser may have only seen the surface. There is an unknown story behind this wine bottle."
The boss became interested: "Oh? What's the story?"
Haihua took a deep breath and said, "It is said that this wine bottle was once used by a famous winemaker. He used this bottle to store a secret wine that could prolong one's life. Although the secret recipe has been lost, this bottle carries that legend."
The boss looked at him doubtfully, then explained apologetically: "Little brother, we all know it's not easy for you to come here from so far away. But you have to understand, the appraisers are like our parents, and their opinions are crucial. We can't afford to lose money in this business! So, if the thing is not right, then we really can't accept it. What's more, we only accept those antiques with years. We are not selling wine, and the stories you told are not important to us, right?" As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly.
He looked at Chen Di in confusion again: "This boss looks familiar, are you from the same industry?"
Chen Di quickly winked at Haihua, picked up the bottle and put it back into Haihua's backpack, thanked the boss and left.
Chen Di took a long breath, his face looking pale: "Xiaohua, I was scared to death, damn old Jin probably recognized me."
Haihua pretended to help him calm down and gave him two massages from a distance: "How can a boss be scared to death by his employees? Isn't it normal for the boss to come to check on him?"
"I haven't been here for almost 10 years. I've gotten old. I guess he's just trying to trick us. Well, let's go!" Chen Di sighed secretly in his heart.
At the same time, Guo Gongquan and his team were watching the store closely. Suddenly, they saw a few suspicious people wandering in front of the store, seemingly trying to find out something.
The uncle and nephew passed by several antique shops and soon met up with Guo Gongquan and his friends.
"What's the situation?" Haihua asked.
Guo Gongquan frowned and said, "I just spotted a few suspicious people. I don't know who sent them."
Haihua pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry about them for now. Don't be overly sensitive. Let's go shopping."
Everyone decided to find a safe place first and then make a long-term plan. They came to a remote teahouse and asked for a private room. They ordered five plates of shrimp dumplings and steamed meat.
After sitting down, Chen Di spoke first: "It seems that this matter is not that simple. Although the boss is tempted, he has many concerns."
Haihua nodded: "And there are those suspicious people outside. I feel that there is a bigger secret hidden behind this wine bottle."
Guo Gongquan said: "No matter what, we can't give up easily. We have to think of a way to convince the boss of the value of this bottle of wine."
Everyone fell into deep thought. After a while, Haihua's eyes lit up: "How about we look for other evidence to prove that this wine bottle has a special origin?"
Chen Di thought about it and said, "We can try, but where can we find it?"
At this time, Guo Gongquan said: "I think of a person who is quite knowledgeable about antiques. Maybe he can provide us with some clues."
"What are you waiting for? Go find him right away." Haihua said anxiously.
Tu Chaoqun raised his watch and said, "Boss Chen, several small bosses, it's 6 o'clock, Lao Mao'er's place is about to close." It seems that he had made some preparations before going out.
However, when they were about to return, they found that the suspicious people had appeared again and were following them.
Chen Di said vigilantly: "Everyone be careful, don't let them take the bottle."
The group quickened their pace, trying to shake off the pursuit. After a tense maneuver, they finally succeeded in getting rid of those suspicious people.
Zhao Chuwei analyzed, "It could be a thief passing by." A few people thought it was possible, "Maybe it was a local rat who wanted to buy some private goods, so he kept following me."
Uncle Chen Di looked up and around, then said, "My store is on the next street, I have to go over and take a look. Do you want to go to the store with me, or do you plan to go home by yourself?"
