Chapter 42: Millionaire!

  "Uh, anyway, it's a bit of a mess, but I guarantee it's the real deal."

  "I'm sorry, I couldn't see the goods and it's not good for me to make a judgment. We have an auction in a few days and today is the last day to sign up. I suggest you bring the items to our company first, if they're okay, we'll promote them on the website as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late. How about that?"

  "It's okay to carry it, but this thing is too big and scattered. It's inconvenient for me to hold it. If possible, can you come to my house?" Tao Baobao said.

  The phone was silent for a while: "...alright, you tell me your home address, my surname is Peng."

  "My name is Tao Baobao." After giving the address, I hung up the phone and arranged the remaining yuan qing flower petals in a bag in the yard. Today is Tuesday, my parents are still at work, so I'm not afraid of being discovered.

  Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside the courtyard. Mr. Peng, dressed in formal attire, walked into the courtyard. Mr. Peng also appeared to be an antique appraiser. He took out a magnifying glass and other small tools, carefully examining the fragments. Finally, he sighed: "What a great piece! Unfortunately, it's been smashed. Alas, if only..."

  "I also know that the whole thing is more valuable, but if it hadn't gone bad, it wouldn't have fallen into my hands either." Tao Baobao thought to herself, not feeling any regret.

  After Mr. Peng confirmed the authenticity of the Yuan Qing Hua shards, Tao Baobao poured him a cup of water and said, "Uncle Peng, I was thinking that since I don't have the money to repair the porcelain right now, shouldn't our auction house have specialized restoration experts? Would it be possible to ask them to glue the Yuan Qing Hua together first, and then deduct the cost from the sale price after the auction? Hmm, I'm not sure if this is in line with the rules?"

  "What you said shouldn't be a problem. Let me make a call to confirm." Mr. Peng put down his cup and called the company to ask, seemingly communicating with a superior leader. Five minutes later, he looked at me seriously: "I just asked, the person in charge said that we can help you repair the porcelain first, and the publicity advertisement can be carried out immediately. However, considering the repair cost, to avoid a low sale price, the starting price of the Yuan Qinghua vase won't be too high. You'd better be mentally prepared for this."

  Hesitating for a moment, Tao Baobao nodded and said: "Okay, you draft the contract."

  After signing the contract, the remaining fragments of Yuan Qinghua were also transported back by Mr. Peng for repair and successfully auctioned off.

  The auction went smoothly, and Tao Bao's patched-up vase was sold at a base price of 3 million yuan and finally traded for 13.5 million yuan.

  Deducting repair costs and commissions, etc.

  Taobao got 1.13 million yuan from this auction!

  Tao Bao patted his own little face, as if in a dream. "A millionaire? I've also become a millionaire."

  "Over a million, what can you buy with that? You can buy a house." Thinking of this, Tao Baobao was taken aback, "A house?"

  A piece of long-awaited news suddenly flashed into Tao Baobao's mind!

  If I remember correctly, it was about three or four years later. At that time, there was a news report on TV that made people jealous and envious. It said that Mrs. Wang, who lived near the North City area, had heard that someone else had dug up a treasure buried in their backyard, so she tried digging in her own yard too.

  As a result, they dug up a box of things in her old house, which was very precious.
