Chapter 184

Jason originally wanted to ask a boss in the shop secretly, but since the man saw it, he thought it was

okay to show the bottle. He hesitated for a while and then gave it to the man.

Of course, Jason was still very vigilant. He stared at the man without blinking, and his legs were ready

to move at any time.

He planned in his mind that if the man caught the bottle and run away, he would yell out while chasing

him.

Fortunately, the man had no intention of running away! He looked at it carefully with the bottle in his

hand. A minute later, he stared at Jason and whispered, “Dude, I’ll give you 6,000 dollars for this…

No… I’ll give you 10,000 dollars. Can you sell it to me?”

Jason paused for a while. He was confused in his mind, “Is it a real ancient bottle? Or are these two

people acting in a play to trick me?”

He couldn’t help but glance back. The man who gave him the bottle was leaning against the wall and

looking at his phone from a distance, not looking at him.

“This guy”

Ken became more vigilant in his mind.

Unexpectedly, an old man with glasses and white hair, who was dressed as a scholar, frowned and

interrupted the man, “You… You are too greedy. Don’t sell it to him…”

The last senten

was addressed to Jason.

The old gentleman looked quite nice, giving people a sense of reliable.

Seeing Jason’s suspicious expression, the old man immediately asked him, “Can you show it to me?”

Jason handed it to him without saying a word. There was a beautiful girl in her twenties beside the old

man.

The old man looked at it carefully for a while and then said to Jason, “Your snuff bottle is an

Impressionist bottle. It is rare for its slight carvings inside and good quality. Don’t be fooled. The market

price of it is at least 50,000 dollars. If you sell it by auction, it will be sold for 60,000 or 80,000 dollars.

10,000 dollars… What a bad person!”

That man looked embarrassed and then quickly said to Jason, “Well… How about I give you another

4,000 dollars, Dude?

Jason refused, “I won’t sell you.”

The old man turned around and said to the young girl beside him, “Lily, give my business card to him.”

The beautiful young girl immediately took a delicate business card from her satchel and handed it to

Jason.

Jason took it over and saw the words on it, “Salvador Jameson, Vice President of the Association to

Identify and Collect Cultural Relics in Clusia.”

Following were his telephone and mobile numbers.

Jason was surprised, “He is an expert in this field!”

Admiration surged up in Jason’s mind and he hurriedly said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Jameson!”

Jason wanted to make his son’s name to get close to Salvador at first, but he didn’t. In his mind, his

son

had just achieved some results in this field, and there was still a big gap between him and such a top

supreme presence, so it might cause trouble for him.

Salvador nodded and said, “Don’t be easily fooled by others. If you don’t sell it, it will become more

valuable. All the things you need to do is to put it at home. If you want to sell it, call me directly. In this

case, if you need money urgently, I will buy it for 50,000 dollars. If you are not in a hurry, I can also help

you sell it in the auction house. It can be sold for at least 60,000 dollars.”

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Jameson!” Jason quickly thanked him and glanced contemptuously at the man

who wanted to buy his snuff bottle for 10,000 dollars.

After the old man left with the young girl, the middle-aged man came closer again with a smile on his

face and said, “Dude, this… The price can be discussed. What’s your ideal price?” Jason didn’t say

anything more but refused, “Well, I won’t sell it to you at all.”

The man looked regret and sighed, trying to say more, but Jason turned away without entering the

shop to ask a boss to check it.

He was afraid that the middle-aged man would follow him to do something bad after seeing the original

owner, so he detoured in another direction.

When he looked back again, the middle-aged man had disappeared.

Jason looked around cautiously again, and then went back to where the rustic man was after seeing no

more suspicious people.

The rustic man looked up and said, “If you don’t want it, just give it back to me. I will give your 20

dollars back. An acquaintance of mine is also asking if there are any new goods…”

“Of course, I will buy it.”

Jason quickly nodded and asked, “How much is it? You said before…”

The man glanced at Jason and said, “My acquaintance saw the photo I sent him. He gave me 2,000

dollars for this…”

Jason was anxious and said, “600 dollars. I’ll give you at most 600 dollars. How can you break your

word?”

The man curled his lips and said, “We haven’t signed a sales contract yet. Of course, I will sell it to the

one who gives me the higher price. 600 dollars is definitely not enough.”

Jason grabbed the snuff bottle tightly in his hand and said, “That won’t work. It’s only worth 600 dollars.

I’ll give you 600 dollars at most. If you accept it, that’s good. Otherwise… I will…”

Jason paused. Actually, he didn’t think about what he could do if the man really refused to sell him.

The man pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, “Well, I’m in urgent need of money. 600

dollars is okay. If it isn’t in this case, 600 dollars won’t be enough at all.”

Jason was overjoyed. He hurriedly took out 600 dollars to the man, and then ran away with the snuff

bottle grabbed tightly, afraid that the man would regret it.

After Oliver came back, he didn’t have time to tell him about it. Now that he saw Oliver, he couldn’t help

saying it proudly.

Oliver smiled and remained silent.

Jason smugly asked him, “My son, see it? I am clever, right? It is said that a good dad always has a

good son, isn’t it?”

Oliver nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, Dad. It’s okay if you are interested in it. Anyway, you can

have fun at your spare time. But be careful, Dad, don’t buy anything more than 2,000 dollars. It’s too

risky, but it doesn’t matter if it’s less than 2,000 dollars.”

“Okay.” Jason nodded, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. He glanced at Oliver and asked,

“Oliver, what do you mean? Are you blaming me? I just made money through it!”

Jason was more and more confused. Then he continued, “I can earn at least 49,400 dollars from this

bottle. If I’m not in a hurry, Mr. Jameson can sell it for over 60,000 dollars. Look! I have his business

card.”

Oliver hurriedly said, “Dad, I didn’t mean that. It doesn’t matter as long as you are happy.”

He thought, “Anyway, I make a lot of money. It doesn’t matter whether my father is fooled or not. With

his personality, he can’t be conned out of millions of dollars, several thousand dollars is at most. Forget

it, don’t mention it anymore, lest he will feel sorry for it.”

But Jason felt something was wrong with Oliver’s words. After thinking for a while, he took out Mr.

Jameson’s business card and picked up the phone to call him.

He said to himself, “I’d better ask Mr. Jameson to sell this snuff bottle. There is no need to get 60,000.

Just sell it for 50,000 dollars so that my son won’t be worried about it.”
