Chapter 1610 Small Bricks (1/2)

Seeing the painting and Li Du's wide smile, the three companions' hearts sank.

Right then, they came to the realization that they had fallen into a trap.

The South American still held onto some hope and asked, ”How much would that be?”

Li Du lifted up his index finger, with the smile still plastered on his face.

The South American asked expectantly, ”Ten thousand dollars?”

Li Du shook his head.

Sandler's face darkened and he said, ”Are you really going to sell one painting for ten thousand?”

Li Du continued to shake his head and said, ”Seems like your imagination has been limited by your lack of class. What I mean is, one hundred million! US dollars!”

The three men took in a deep breath. They shouted in unison, ”What the f*ck! Are you mad?”

Li Du said seriously, ”Of course not. It's just that you lack foresight. According to what I know, you guys were not even accepted into the Million Dollar Club, right? If I were you, I would not be so anxious to take the risk here. I would think about ways to gain more experience first.”

Sandler said fiercely, ”Don't talk like you know everything.”

Li Du said, ”I know more than you guys. Not happy? Fine, let's not talk about this painting, let's talk about these items. What are these?”

Saying that, Li Du balanced one small purple-red brick in front of them.

Sandler and the two men were desperate to prove that their foresight was sufficiently qualified. However, no matter how they looked at it, they could not tell what that brick was.

Batlon did not want to swallow the defeat and did not want to appear like a failure in front of a person like Li Du. Hence, he decided to take a gamble. He coughed and said, ”This is a sort of jewel, no, I should say that it's a sort of natural-occurring crystal. It's like a piece of ore.”

Li Du looked at him in surprise and said, ”How did you know that?”

His expression got Batlon ecstatic. That was a blind guess. He could not give more details to Li Du and hence he pretended to sound mysterious and said, ”Of course I know…”

”You know nothing,” Li Du did not give him a chance to continue putting up a pretense. He opened up other boxes and revealed batches of purple-red small bricks. ”So many precious stones are here? Do you think that you're in Myanmar, at the jade mining field?”

”What do you say this is?” Batlon said, refusing to back off.

Li Du said, ”This is an antique!”

The people who were watching by the side asked curiously, ”What antique is this? Is this porcelain from your country?”

Pieces of the purple-red small bricks shone brightly under the sun. Indeed, they looked like exquisite porcelain pieces.

Li Du shook his head. ”Nope, can't you guys tell? However, these things have not appeared for a long time. These are grape bricks. They are estimated to be antique grape bricks, seventy or eighty years old!”
