Chapter 009 God of Wealth?
It's all your fault. I said again and again that we shouldn't go to the hotel first. But you went anyway. Now all the tickets are lost!
That's not the plan, okay? If I knew what would've happened, why would I go!
It's Fengshen's concerts. From junior high school to university, I have never missed even single one of them. Now we're screwed. We won't make it this time!
Stop quarreling, hurry up and find a way to get tickets!
The concert has already kicked off now. How can we do that?
Back at seven o'clock, I suggested that we head to the concert venue to buy tickets from scalpers. It's you who insisted on looking for the tickets everywhere. Now we can't probably see any scalpers here.
These girls looked around anxiously for the scalper while complaining each other.
All of these were captured by Ye Chen.
Despite that, he did not take the initiative to offer the sale.
He waited for them to come to him instead.
Just as he predicted,
it didn't take long.
While looking around anxiously, the girls saw that Ye Chen had several tickets in his hands.
Without a second thought, they rushed over to him.
Dude, are those tickets for sale? We are willing to pay a premium price for them.
Not for sale. They are for an appointment with friends! Ye Chen blurted out lightly.
However, this did not make the girls give up.
It's because Ye Chen not only has tickets in hands, but also exactly six!
It's like that the tickets are meant for the six of them!
1000 yuan for one, and 6000 yuan for six. Is that okay for you?
If not in dire need for the entrance of the concert, they would not even take a glance at this kind of ticket with a face value of 560. It's because only the VIP seats are exclusive to them.
It's just that now I don't care about where to sit. As long as we can get in there and keep our record of "never missing single one of his concerts".
I said no! Besides, 1000 yuan for one? What do you think I am? An idiot? Let's just put aside the fact that I pulled strings to get them, I paid 900 yuan for each from others. 1000 yuan for one? I bet you're joking. Said Ye Chen.
What about 2000 yuan? 2000 yuan for one? The girls immediately increased the price.
Again, not for sale! It's not just my own ticket but my friend's! Ye Chen said decisively.
At this time,
the voices of their idol boys and the tsunami-like waves of fanaticism can be clearly heard in the sports center.
Now,
they became even more anxious!
5000 yuan! 5000 yuan would do, wouldn't it? Come on! Sell them to us, please! A girl can't stand stand taking the time to raise the price slowly. She can't wait.
5000 yuan?
That's 30,000 yuan for six tickets?
This price is definitely worth it!
Still, Ye Chen shook his head. It's not because these girls in the previous life spent 10,000 yuan to buy the ticket,
but because he was afraid that there might be changes in the Antique Market. Although the gambler in the previous life bought the Buddhist bead bracelet for 30,000 yuan, what if more money is needed then? He worried.
That way, he would have done all of these to no avail!
Therefore, he has to get absolutely enough money for that Buddhist bead bracelet.
It's a firm no. How can I explain it to my friends if they're sold? Ye Chen said.
Bullshit!
A girl couldn't help but freak out. 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan for one or not. Just so you know, it's now or never.
10,000 yuan? Ye Chen pretended to be lured and asked back in disbelief.
Yes, this is the highest price we can offer! 10,000 yuan for a ticket with a face value of 560 yuan whose seat is so far away from the stage. This is already a ripoff. If you didn't happen to have exactly six tickets, we could only pay 3,000 yuan at most! A final word, sell them or not? If it's still a no, let's go! The anxious girl said.
Well, well, it's a deal!
Ye Chen put on a struggling expression and said, gritting his teeth.
With his consent,
the girls, without further ado,
scanned the code, transferred the money, grabbed the ticket
and immediately scurried off to the ticket gate without delay.
The unlucky former trainee scalper would never know that Ye Chen resold them at prices twenty times higher.
Otherwise, he would flip out big time!
Looking at the 60,000 yuan on the WeChat balance,
Ye Chen let out a long sigh of relief, and a smile emerged on his face.
Fortunately, what happened in the previous life has not changed because of this.
Otherwise, that Buddhist beads bracelet might end up in the hands of that gambler.
Then he looked back at the sports center filled with screaming.
Ye Chen, who was indifferent to the concert in his past and present life, strode away with his loot of 60,000 yuan!
Back to the rental house,
not surprisingly,
Chen Yinuo and Ye Youyou were not there.
On the table, the food from McDonald's is gone.
But the bowl of breakfast noodles was still there, untouched!
Obviously, Chen Yinuo wanted to completely draw the line between them.
Looking at the breakfast noodles that had long been lumped together, Ye Chen laughed bitterly at himself.
He took a closer look, and learned that it hadn't gone sour.
Immediately, he picked it up, and instead of pouring it out, he shoved it into his mouth.
Tears of guilt welled up in his eyes.
Yinuo, wait for me, I will definitely prove it to you. I will prove to you that you did not marry the wrong guy. I will!
...
The next day.
The antique city saw Ye Chen's figure again.
But this time, he didn't wander around anymore.
Instead, he went directly to the booth where the Buddhist beads bracelet was stored.
He was quite relieved to see that it was still there.
Why is it you again?
The moment he saw Ye Chen standing in front of his stall,
the stall owner, who was still chatting with his peers just a moment ago, suddenly darkened.
How much is the Buddhist bead bracelet?
Ye Chen didn't mind the impoliteness to his tone and asked with a smile.
Are you itching for a fight? Like I said before, 500 yuan is not an option. Save it. The stall owner waved his hand impatiently.
Although the Antique Market is full of bargaining,
he spent about 1000 yuan on the Buddhist bead bracelet, for God's sake.
500 yuan? This even made his liver hurt from anger!
Then you tell me a price! Don't say 50,000 yuan. You know, this is not the first time I have been here. Give me a reasonable price if you want it sold. Ye Chen replied while smiling.
A reasonable price, huh.
Noticing that a lot of potential customers passing by were looking at them,
the stall owner swallowed his feelings and said: "this Buddhist bead bracelet's appearance is fascinating and texture of it is quite smooth to the touch. In addition, from the slurry of it smoked by the incense, you can tell briefly that it comes from a temple. Particularly, have you seen the carvings of the eighteen Arhats on it anywhere else? This asset was a fine art of a Taoist master. If you really want it, then give me 30,000 yuan, no, 20,000 yuan. 20,000 yuan and it's yours! But I wouldn't sell it for a penny less.
The appearance and texture are satisfactory indeed.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have paid 1000 yuan to get it.
But as for the claims about the incense-smoked patina and fine art of an eminent monk in a temple?
That's just sheer nonsense!
The stall owners of these antique cities happen to be masters of those nonsense.
But the reason he adjusted the price from 50,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan was that he thought there's no way that Ye Chen could afford this one, too.
So, all he wanted is to get him out of sight as soon as possible.
20,000 yuan? Alright, give it to me. I'll take it!
20,000 yuan is a bit beyond Ye Chen's expectations.
After all, the gambler in the previous life spent 30,000 yuan on it.
Therefore, he didn't bother to haggle with the stall owner anymore.
What the hell? Are you serious?
The stall owner was stunned.
Not only the stall owner, but also his peers beside him were dumbfounded.
Because just now they were still discussing whether that idiot from yesterday would show up again or not.
Speak of the devil. And he wanted to pay 20,000 yuan for this bracelet?
That's only worth 1000 yuan or 2000 yuan at most!
20,000 yuan, right? Let me scan your QR code and make the transfer to you.
Ye Chen said no more and scanned the QR code on the booth.
After entering the number of 20,000, he did not rush to pay immediately, instead he showed the page of transfer on the phone to the stall owner and asked: is this right?
Ah, yes, that's right! The stall owner still can't believe it.
Is it the God of Wealth that came to him just when he set up his stall?
This deal of 20,000 yuan means net profit of 19,000 yuan!
Ye Chen responded: "Good, here it comes!"
In a matter of seconds,
The sound of WeChat receiving 20,000 yuan came from the mobile phone of the stall owner!
At the same time,
the expressions of the surrounding stall owners looking at Ye Chen all changed.
Has the jerk who they thought wanted nothing but an unrealistic bargain from them yesterday become this gullible idiot they had craved for all of a sudden?
Does this mean that they have missed their chance for a fortune?
Sir, the money has been received. Please allow me to wrap it up for you, I'll wrap it up real nice!
There is not a trace of boredom or irritation in his attitude like before, and the stall owner began sucking up to him with a wide-eyed smile.
No need to wrap!
Ye Chen directly picked up the Buddhist bead bracelet.
At the same time.
a middle-aged man and a man in his thirties walked over to Ye Chen's direction.
Uncle Lu, do we have to come to such a place? I can't get any luck in acquiring a decent present for the old man's birthday here, can I? Everything in here is too shabby for him. I will make a fool of myself if I do, and people will laugh at me once the word spreads. It's not like I can't afford a proper gift. We really shouldn't be here.
While walking, the young man grumbled.
Jingshan, you still don't know enough about the old leader. It's the antiques that he derives pleasure from, especially those that can be stroked with his hands instead of objects at high prices. To borrow from him, squandering money on luxuries equals the corruption of the mind. You see, he has always been leading a honest and uprightlife to this day. If you bought him those expensive ones, he is so going to scold you the moment he finds out. Trust me. It's better to turn to the Antique Market and pick some items in good condition. The point is that it looks good and can be played with. Besides, if we're lucky enough, we might end up getting something awesome. Sounds great, doesn't it?
The middle-aged man who is over fifty years old beamed.
But the young man curled his lips noncommittally.
Although he disagreed, he said nothing against that.
