I Can See The Success Rate-Chapter 82 – Damn! Two and a half billion!
Top floor of the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
"Mr. Bai, I wonder what good items you've found today?"
Che Yongkang glanced at the half-human-sized box Bai Wu was carrying and couldn't help but ask.
"Today, there are three items in total!"
Bai Wu said, then quickly shook his head and corrected himself, "No, no, no, to be precise, it should be two."
"Three, two?" Che Yongkang was puzzled.
"You'll find out soon enough, Mr. Che!"
Bai Wu deliberately kept him in suspense.
The male and female double-edged swords of Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han, these are treasures!
"Mr. Che, take a look at this first!"
Bai Wu took a small box out of his pocket, placed it on the coffee table, and opened the lid. Inside was a dull, seemingly worthless stone.
"Hmm, this is..."
Che Yongkang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out a gold-rimmed magnifying glass from his chest to examine it.
A few seconds later, he looked up and said, "Mr. Bai, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a mouth jade, right?"
"That's right!"
Bai Wu nodded.
"The quality of this mouth jade is quite average, but the oxidation level on the surface is quite reasonable, so it still has some collectible value!"
After Che Yongkang finished speaking, he asked, "One and a half million! I'm willing to pay one and a half million for this mouth jade. What do you think, Mr. Bai?"
"Agreed!"
Bai Wu nodded.
Che Yongkang immediately transferred one and a half million to Bai Wu.
After confirming that Bai Wu received the money, he carefully put away the mouth jade.
"So, Mr. Bai, what's next?" Che Yongkang curiously looked at the box Bai Wu was carrying.
"This is the main event!"
Bai Wu lifted the box and gently placed it on the coffee table.
Then, he opened the lid.
Two long swords appeared in front of Che Yongkang.
"Double-edged swords!"
Che Yongkang stood up, "Mr. Bai, please allow me to examine them carefully!"

"Go ahead."
Bai Wu shrugged.
Then, Bai Wu watched as Che Yongkang meticulously examined the two long swords from top to bottom.
He even inspected the scabbards.
Weighing, measuring length, observing the reflection under the light, and so on.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
Che Yongkang was still holding one of the swords, examining it carefully with a magnifying glass under the light.
Bai Wu, feeling bored, began to observe the various items placed in the room.
Bai Wu first noticed the pitch-black inkstone on the coffee table.
"Could this thing be an antique?" Bai Wu casually wondered in his mind.
100%!
"Damn! This thing is an antique? What about the brush holder next to it? Could it also be an antique?"
100%!
"And those brushes?"
100%!
"What about that vase?"
100%!
...
Bai Wu's gaze swept over every item in the room.
Then.
His eyelids twitched.
Because he realized that every single item in this room was an antique!
Even the chair he was sitting on was an old piece.
Bai Wu used his superpower to analyze it step by step and finally concluded.
This set of tables and chairs was used exclusively by the Qing Dynasty royal family, and its current value is about three million each!
Yes!
You read that right!
Just one!
One chair is three million!
A total of four chairs, that's twelve million.
Including this purple trembling wood coffee table, the total price of this set is twenty million.
Then, Bai Wu couldn't help but use his superpower to analyze the price and dynasty of every antique in this room.
In the end, he added it all up.
Including this set of tables and chairs, there were a total of 26 antiques, spanning from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, with antiques from almost every dynasty.
Total price: 2,532,210,000 yuan!
"Damn! Holy crap! Oh my god!"
Bai Wu's face remained calm, but his heart was like a raging storm.
This isn't twenty-five million, nor is it two hundred and fifty million!
This is two and a half billion!
"Damn, this is what it means to be truly wealthy!"
Bai Wu was truly impressed.
He had no choice but to be.
While he was still smug about earning ten million, the chairs others used to entertain guests were worth twice that.
However, Bai Wu's mood quickly calmed down.
For someone with his superpower, getting money was easy.
Time slowly passed.
Another half hour went by.
Che Yongkang put down the magnifying glass and muttered to himself, "This pair of double-edged swords should be Eastern Han replicas of pre-Qin styles, the male sword weighs seven jin and thirteen liang, the female sword six jin and four liang, with a weight deviation of about 0.05%, both swords share one scabbard, the female sword's blade is three feet three inches, the male sword's blade is three feet seven inches..."
As he spoke, Che Yongkang looked up, staring intently at Bai Wu, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Bai, do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course!"
Bai Wu smiled slightly and said, "I believe Mr. Che has also come to a conclusion in his heart, the origin of this pair of double-edged swords, Emperor Zhaolie of Han..."
"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande!" Che Yongkang interjected.
"Exactly!" Bai Wu nodded confidently.
Che Yongkang gave Bai Wu a deep look and suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Che Yongkang finally looked up and said, "If this pair of double-edged swords is truly the sword Liu Bei used in his early battles, its value should be around ten million, but I can only offer five million!"
Bai Wu was puzzled.
"Risk!" Che Yongkang explained, "I am only forty percent sure that these double-edged swords are Liu Bei's, so I can only offer five million, which is already the highest price. Last year, a similar Eastern Han replica of a Qin-style double-edged sword, in such good condition, appeared at an auction and was sold for six million!"
"If Mr. Bai is not satisfied with my offer, I can help arrange for this pair of double-edged swords to be in the next auction!"
"Or, if Mr. Bai can successfully convince me that this pair of double-edged swords is indeed Liu Bei's early sword, then I am willing to pay ten million to buy it!"
Che Yongkang finished speaking, his eyes fixed intently on Bai Wu.
