Chapter 708: Arrival Of A Customer

Tao Zhi Bo became extremely excited after hearing Li Du's words and actually cried while holding the coin.
While he was crying, he asked with a choked voice, ”Really? Really? This copper coin is worth millions? You said millions?”
Li Du did not dare to confirm and spoke based on his experience in auctions. If an ancient coin that was in good condition could be auctioned off for 1,650,000, an ancient coin that was in a slightly poorer condition could also be auctioned off for millions after taking into consideration the inflation from the last few years.
Zhou Ji assisted Tao Zhi Bo in this regard. Zhou Ji said, ”Don't get excited first. I have an uncle who loves collecting, I will help you ask him. I have seen him collect ancient coins before.”
After dialing a number, Zhou Ji exchanged a few civilities before going straight to the point.
Soon after, he spoke to Tao Zhi Bo while covering his handphone. ”As this coin could really be worth millions, my uncle is very interested in it and asked if you would like to sell it. If you are willing to sell it, he will bring an expert over to have a look. He wants to buy if it is genuine”
Tao Zhi Bo kept nodding his head. ”Want to sell, want to sell—where is your uncle's house? I'll go and find him?”
Zhou Ji motioned for him not be anxious and talked briefly on the phone again before stating the location.
After hanging up the phone, he said, ”No need for you to go personally. You wait here, my uncle is in Jin Jing city and will rush over in the afternoon.”
Tao Zhi Bo wiped his tears and said emotionally, ”I can—no problem. Thanks, guys, I will stay here this afternoon. Anyways, you look familiar. You are?”
Zhang Xue Ning introduced him once more.
This time, the atmosphere was not awkward. Everyone gathered around Tao Zhi Bo's Da Xia Zhen Xing ancient coin and began chit-chatting.
In the eyes of an ordinary person, having an ancient coin that was worth millions was the same as winning millions in a lottery as no one could anticipate it happening to them.
As the money hadn't been put into his pocket, Tao Zhi Bo was still worried. He said, ”The expert has not verified it yet. It's possible that this is a fake coin. If this is a fake coin, Old Li, is it no longer valuable?”
Li Du replied, ”You can rest assured that this is genuine. I promise you that if the coin is fake, I will spend 500,000 to buy it, okay?”
Tao Zhi Bo shook his head. ”Don't. How could I sell it to you if it is a fake coin? Hai, hopefully it's genuine. Two to three years have passed and my family has had nothing but bad luck. Hopefully, we can be lucky this time.”
Li Du patted his shoulder. ”Trust me, this is not a fake coin.”
”Why are you so certain?” Du Zheng Nan asked curiously.
Li Du smiled. ”Because I have superb judgment. Anyways, you guys should trust me. I am simply able to promise Old Yao that the item is definitely genuine.”
”Old Yao, where did you get this item from?”
”Millions. F*ck. Old Yao made a big fortune this time.”
”Hey, hey, hey—let us admire, envy, and hate him for a while.”
Tao Zhi Bo himself was also unclear about this. He pondered while frowning. ”I've had this copper coin since I was young. As my body was weak when I was little, I would always have fevers that could not be treated—even after seeing a doctor and taking injections.
”Later on, as my grandmother speculated that there might be some dirty spirits hiding inside my body and what not, my parents found a fortune teller to have a look at me.
The fortune teller gave me this copper coin and told me that my calamities would definitely turn into blessings by tying it on my body.”
”You met a master?” Du Hang exclaimed.
