Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

Chapter 1316 - 1316: Have You Heard of the Yongle Grand Ceremony?

The information of all items within a thousand meters was displayed in front of Ye Feng.

“Let’s go over there and take a look.” Ye Feng held Xia Qiu’s soft hand very naturally.

Xia Qiu struggled instinctively, but he held her tightly. She was afraid that she would cause him to be unhappy if she struggled any longer, so she had to give up in the end, but her face was already red.

Ye Feng pulled her along and soon, they saw an old bookstore at the corner.

“These are the treasures you were talking about?”

Xia Qiu looked at the shabby bookstore. The door was not big and the space was only a dozen square meters. Even the signboard had faded under the sun. No matter how she looked at it, it did not look like there was any treasure.

“Little girl, don’t be fooled by appearances,” Ye Feng said like an old man, before pulling her into the secondhand bookstore.

He first pretended to walk around the bookshelf and then took out two books from the middle layer.

The two books were somewhat worn out, and the pages were somewhat

yellowed. The covers were long gone, and it could be said that they looked extremely miserable.

Ye Feng did not even bother to look at it carefully. He took the two books to the cashier. “How much are these two books?”

The boss only raised his head and glanced at it before he made a bid. “50,000 Japanese dollars.”

50,000 Japanese dollars was equivalent to about 2,600 RMB, so it wasn’t expensive.

But Ye Feng still negotiated with him for a long time and finally bought it for 40,000 Japanese dollars.

Xia Qiu looked at the billionaire who had hundreds of billions of dollars in assets and was actually bargaining with someone for a few hundred dollars. She suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

This scene was too comical.

After Ye Feng paid the bill, he immediately pulled her out of the bookstore,

“Is this the treasure you were talking about?” Xia Qiu looked at the two books in his hands with disdain. They were so old and did not look like treasures.

“You don’t understand. 1 wonder if you’ve heard of the Yongle Ceremony?” Ye Feng deliberately kept her in suspense.

“Yongle Grand Ceremony? I think I’ve heard of its name, but I’m not sure what it is exactly,” Xia Qiu answered honestly.

“This Yongle Grand Ceremony was compiled by Zhu Di, the Ming Emperor. It has 22877 volumes and about 370 million words. It is a collection of 7,000 to 8,000 ancient books. However, there were losses in every dynasty, especially in the late Qing Dynasty. Up until now, less than 4% of them have survived…” Ye Feng explained calmly, Xia Qiu was also listening with interest.

“Previously, an auction house in Paris auctioned two volumes of the Yongle

Ceremony and finally sold them for a sky-high price of 6.4 million euros…”

When Xia Qiu heard this number, she was so shocked that she was tongue-tied.

6.4 million euros was equivalent to about 65 million yuan. This was an unimaginable sky-high price.

Then, she suddenly thought of something from Ye Fengs words. “You mean, these two books are…” Yongle Ceremony?”

“Yes, these are two of them.” When Ye Feng spoke, he sounded a little excited.

Originally, he had only unintentionally planted a willow, but he did not expect to be able to reap such a huge harvest in such a place.

Xia Qiu covered her mouth in shock. She looked down at the two old books, then looked up at Ye Feng.

If it was not Ye Feng who said this, she would never believe that these two books were worth tens of millions of HCD.

Even if it was Ye Feng who said it, she was still skeptical.

The main thing was that this was too unbelievable.

Ye Feng just casually walked into a bookstore and picked two books, and they were worth tens of millions?

Wasn’t this a little too exaggerated?

Ye Feng saw that she did not believe him. He could only shrug his shoulders helplessly. “Everything I said is true. I can’t help it if you don’t believe me. If you know an expert in this field, you can ask them to appraise it.”

Xia Qiu was reminded of something. “l was filming a period drama and the production team hired a consultant. I heard that she’s a professor at Yanjing University’s Department of Archeology. I can ask her for advice.”

After saying that, he couldn’t wait to take out his phone to contact the professor.

Ye Feng did not stop her. If she could use this Yanjing University professor to spread this news, Maple Leaf Pavilion’s influence would increase greatly.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the professor had to be someone who knew what was good.

Xia Qiu quickly made a video call to the professor.

Soon, a white-haired old lady appeared in the video. She had a heroic look on her face, and it was obvious that she was not easy to get along with.

“Hello, Teacher Xu. Do you still remember me?” Xia Qiu immediately greeted the professor sweetly.

“How could I not remember? You’re a very smart girl. I like you very much.” Professor Xu had a sincere smile on her face. It was obvious that she really liked Xia Qiu.

“l learned a lot from you during that time. I’ve always admired you.” Xia Qiu’s sweet mouth made Professor Xu smile.

“Xiao Xia, why are you looking for me today? If there’s anything, just say it. I’m still busy here.” Professor Xu looked like a straightforward old lady and asked directly.

“It’s like this, Teacher Xu. My friend found two books in Japan. He said that it seems to be some Yongle Grand Ceremony. Can you take a look and see if it’s true?” Xia Qiu said as she pointed the camera at the two books in Ye Fengs hands.

“Yongle Grand Ceremony? How much did your friend spend to buy it?” Professor Xu asked as she picked up her presbyopic glasses from the table.

“I think he spent 2,000 RMB.’! Xia Qiu told her the truth.

Professor Xu laughed when she heard that. “Your friend must have bought a fake. Now that every Yongle Grand Ceremony is published, it will be sold at a

sky-high price. How can you buy it with 2,000 yuan? Add four more zeroes at the end.’

Xia Qiu covered her mouth and laughed. “That’s what I told him, but he’s very confident. Please help him take a look so that he can learn to be more humble in the future.’

When Ye Feng heard her words, he was unhappy and started to threaten her with his eyes.

Xia Qiu wasn’t afraid. Instead, she waved her little fist at him.

It seemed that with Professor Xu’s support, she had nothing to fear.

Although Professor Xu felt that it was unreliable, she still looked at the phone carefully for Xia Qiu’s sake.

At first, she was a little careless, but after taking a few glances, her expression became serious.

“Xiao Xia, move your phone closer.” Her voice was trembling, clearly a little excited.

Xia Qiu could hear something strange in her voice and hurriedly took the phone closer.

“Open it and let me see…” “Let me see the binding part again…”

“Let me see the paper again…”

Professor Xu continued to instruct her, and her voice became more and more excited. In the end, she fell back onto the chair, her eyes staring blankly.

“Teacher Xu, are you alright?” Xia Qiu was shocked to see her like this.

Could it be that Teacher Xu was furious after seeing this fake? Then she would be guilty.

After a long time, Professor Xu slowly raised her head to look at the camera.. “Xiao… Xiao Xia, what does your friend do?”
