Chapter 8: Antique Street
"Brother you were really amazing when you were negotiating?" said his sister while admiring him.
"Indeed, when you were negotiating, I thought you would straightaway Start negotiating with a 15 million price since that place worth that amount, but to my amassment you kid lowered the price by 2 million." Said Feng Xuan's mother with approval.
Although she was a housewife currently, she had graduated from the university with a business management degree thus she knew that when negotiating they must have an advantage than the other party, to win in any negotiation. His son did the things in the correct way even if his husband and her self were not to add pressure, she knew that his son would definitely buy the Tea house at a cheap price.
Seen the growth of their son both Feng Wan Rong and Feng Qing had a smile on their faces.
"Brother, why are we going to the antique street now?" asked Feng Xin Yi.
"since I spend lot of money. I only have around 20 million dollars more at my hand so I'm going to the Antique street to make some money." Said Feng Xuan.
"How are we going to make money in the antique street." Asked Feng Xin Yi in a puzzled voice.
"You will know when you go there" said Feng Xuan in a mysterious tone.
Not only his sister, but even his father and mother were curious about how Feng Xuan would make money in the antique street. But they did not ask anything they kept their silence since their son was going to show them his money making ability.
After a fifteen minutes ride they were able to arrive near the entrance of the Antique market. There was a board hanging, saying Ancient Golden Antique street in ancient characters, on the entrance which had a huge sculpture of a huge Chinese dragon craved on its entrance.
Since they were not allowed to ride cars inside the antique street, Feng Xuan Parked his car in one of car parks and entered the antique street with his parents.
There were many antique streets in their city and this antique street was very unique because this antique street was not controlled by any powerful gang but it was controlled by an ancient family called the Tang Clan.
They had a decent reputation in the antique circle and also they were powerful thus there was no gang willing to fight with them for this street.
This was also one of the reasons that he chose this Antique street rather than the other ones which were controlled by some scums.
His sister, who was visiting an antic street for the first time was very much impressed by the behavior of the sellers.
Although this place was crowed the sellers were not shouting to promote their good they only talked with the people who come to their stalls.
And for the sellers, who had no customers in their stalls, they were closing their eyes and resting on their chairs. This made the atmosphere around those stalls a bit mysterious and attracted some customers to their stalls.
"sis, don't get fooled by those stall owner's behaviors most of them as selling fake products and only few stores have genuine products. Also today we came in the wrong time. If we came in the morning, we could find some good antique items but by now most of the best antique are taken by the main shops and only the thing that were unrecognized are available here by now." Said Feng Xuan.
"But brother I can't still understand; how can we earn more money here. I think you came to spend money here." Said his sister.
"What do you know? I'm going to buy some good antiques and sell them to those bigger antique shops." Said Feng Xuan.
"Then, do you know to appraisal them?" asked his sister in a questioning tone.
"You, will know about my talent shortly?" came let me introduce this place to you guys. This street is divided into two sections. The out sections is for small stalls and the inner section is for the big shops. And if you are an expert in appraisal them you will first go to these small stalls to check for their products first because their might be some phoenixes among these chickens" said Feng Xuan went to a small store to check for their items.
He went near the stall and secretly activated the system scan function and scan all those Antiques and found out that all the Items were fake except for one coin which was a genuine coin from Song Dynasty and it would worth around 5 million dollars.
Thus he asked the owner of the stall "boss, how much is this coin"
The owner looked at the coin that Feng Xuan pointed and said "1000 dollars"
"Boss, do you take me as a fool, I'm only giving you one hundred dollars, sell this to me."
"900"
"200"
"800"
"300"
"600"
"400"
"500"
"450"
"Deal" said the boss happily because they could get 5 kg of these sort of coins for 100 dollars. Thus he was happy because of the big profit that he made selling a coin.
Feng Xuan was also pleased because he was able to buy a 5 million dollars' worth coin with just 500 dollars but he did not show it on his face.
"Elder brother, why did you buy this lousy coin for 500 dollars. Isn't it like just giving that person free money" asked sister in a confused manner after they left some distance from that stall. This was also a question that Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng Want to ask but since their daughter asked it before them. They kept their silence.
"What lousy coin? wait until go to an appraisal store to get it appraisal, at that time you will be shocked to know the true value of the coin" said Feng Xuan.
And they after that he went from one store to another and bought more than forty small antiques using 1 million dollars and left towards the inner area of the antique street. Luckily he bought a bag with him if not he would not able to carry all of them.
And as soon as he entered the inner section he heard
[System navigation activated: - Host go 5 meters to right and 4 meters to front and enter the shop in front of you buy the mountain river painting which is to your right as soon as you enter the shop.]
Feng Xuan was surprised by the sudden new notification that he got but he still followed and entered the shop that the system mentions. The shop was a middle scale Shop which collected paintings. And there were many paintings which were Displayed around the shop.
As soon as he entered looked at the mountain river painting for once and then he looked at the other painting in the shop while he was checking the other paintings he asked his system to Scan this shop. And after the scan complete, he was shocked to find out that there were 6 original painting of famous painters in this shop.
Just as he was about to call someone to ask them about the prices of the paintings, one of the workers came to him and asked because he knew that this young man had deep pockets because of the branded cloths that he was wearing "This young master, how can I help you."
"How are the prices of these paintings" Asked Feng Xuan while pointing at the 6 painting.
"Young master, painting in this wall are 100, 000 dollars and then paintings in this wall are 500, 000 dollars' paintings and this painting is 2 million dollars" Explained the shop worker.
"Pack me this painting, this, this, this, this, this and this" said Feng Xuan while pointing at the seven painting including the mountain river painting.
When Feng Xuan pointed at the Mountain and River painting both of Feng Xuan's parents looked at each other while frowning but after that they returned to normal very quickly thus nobody noticed anything abnormal.
The worker was very excited thus he quickly packed the six paintings and gave them to Feng Xuan hurriedly thinking that he will change his mind and after taking Feng Xuan paid 3.5 million for all the six paintings and left the shop.
[Congratulation, host for Obtaining the Mountain and river painting, system will store it until host can use it.

Seen these rewards, Feng Xuan even had difficulties in breathing. He thought system is becoming even more generous.
His sister who was following behind him was so angry seen him spending money recklessly. But she couldn't do anything about it, when every time she tries to stop him. He would always scold her telling her to become quite. And when she looked at her parents to help her they will always gently smile at her and tell her to ignore him.
Feng Xuan and his parents walked deeper into the Antique street until they were in front of Tang Long Treasure chamber.
"What are you going to buy at this sh**y place" asked is sister resentfully.
"keep your mouth shut. Do you want to get us all killed? Said Feng Xuan in a serious voice.
