Starting with 80,000 Times Profit

Lin Xiao looked at the stall for a long time. There were nearly a hundred coins, and every single one was a Yuan Datou coin.

Lin Xiao examined each one carefully, and eventually, he determined that only these three were genuine!

He had to get them!

His legs were getting a little numb from crouching, so he stood up, stretched his knees, and took a moment to think about how to approach this.

The stall owner, however, thought Lin Xiao was about to leave and spoke first, "Young man, do you like Yuan Datou coins?"

Lin Xiao didn't respond.

The stall owner added, "All the Yuan Datou coins here were collected from the countryside, real and genuine."

He casually picked one up, holding it between his thumb and index finger, and blew on it with force near his lips.

Instantly, the distinct, crisp ringing sound of the coin filled the air.

"Listen to that. Isn't it crisp?"

"Heh," Lin Xiao said, "Any coin can make a sound when you blow on it. Don't bring that up."

The stall owner wasn't embarrassed and continued, "This one, it's a good piece. If you like it, I'll sell it to you for 100,000 Yuan."

"You saw it yourself, several people wanted to buy it, but I didn't sell it because their offers were too low."

Lin Xiao shook his head. "100,000 is too much. I don't have that much money."

The stall owner said, "If you really want it, I can sell it to you for a lower price, just to make a deal."

Lin Xiao remained silent for a moment before replying, "It's still too expensive."

The stall owner asked, "Then what price do you think is fair?"

Lin Xiao said, "5,000."

The stall owner was stunned for a moment but immediately felt a rush of excitement.

Damn, 5,000!

This young man really wants to buy it!

But he acted conflicted on the outside. "Your offer is too low, 5,000... that doesn't even cover the cost."

The livestream chat exploded.

"This streamer is an idiot, right?"

"Clearly a setup, and he's still making an offer?"

"5,000? Give me 500 and I'll sell you as many as you want!"

"Is this the strongest bargain-hunting streamer? Is this it?"

"Sigh, looks like Boss Lin is about to make more money again."

"I knew something was off the moment he started asking about the price."

"No need to say more, there's definitely something real on this stall!"

"Long-time followers already see through it all, but the new ones are still throwing a tantrum."

The hundreds of loyal followers who had been watching all morning knew Lin Xiao's tricks too well.

Clearly, Lin Xiao had spotted something good.

Otherwise, given his usual way of doing things, he would've just walked away without saying much.

But these new viewers had never seen such a thing before, so they just thought Lin Xiao was a fool.

The stall owner kept going on about how much he paid to acquire these coins and how 5,000 was too little.

Lin Xiao remained silent, quietly watching him perform.

When the stall owner saw that Lin Xiao wasn't responding, he quickly changed tactics. "Alright, 5,000 it is. I'll sell it to you at a loss."

Lin Xiao shook his head. "I meant 5,000 for ten Yuan Datou coins."

"Ten? No way! I'd be losing everything!"

"Then forget it."

Lin Xiao didn't even think twice, turning around and walking away with swift determination.

The stall owner immediately panicked. "Hey, wait, young man! Ten, just ten!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile. Here it comes.

Let's see who's tricking who.

He paused, turned around, and mumbled, "You agreed so quickly, now I feel like I'm losing out a bit…"

The stall owner: ...

What the hell does this guy want?

His face was full of smiles, though. "What you said makes sense. A truly rare treasure is priceless. If you like it, why worry about the price?"

Lin Xiao nodded. "That makes sense."

He picked through the coins, mimicking the stall owner's actions by picking up a coin and blowing on it to make it ring.

The stall owner said, "Don't worry, all of these coins came from the countryside, they're real and genuine. Definitely worth collecting!"

Soon, Lin Xiao selected ten coins.

When he placed the three Yuan Datou coins together, the owner didn't even glance at them.

This confirmed his suspicion.

The stall owner really didn't know anything about antique coins.

Of course, this business was all about boasting and asking for high prices.

If you really knew what you were doing, why would you be running a stall?

Wouldn't it be more profitable to pick up treasures yourself?

"Zhifu Bao has transferred 5,000 Yuan."

Lin Xiao made the payment, and the sound of the money being received echoed in the area.

Nearby stall owners turned to look, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at the stall owner, while they looked at Lin Xiao with sympathy.

Another young man scammed.

Want to hunt for treasures? You have to pay your dues.

Do you really think anyone can make money in the antique market?

Lin Xiao grabbed the items and turned toward Baibaoge (Treasure Pavilion).

"Did Boss Lin pick up a bargain?"

"Definitely, 5,000 Yuan investment, and he's going to make at least 200,000!"

"Earlier, seven Yuan Datou coins, one worth more than 30,000. Do the math."

"Now ten of them, that's 300,000, right?"

"Isn't this a script?"

Seeing the viewers' curiosity, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's a script, but the items are real."
