Daily Intelligence: Starting Out, I Won a Thirty Million Lottery Grand Prize

“New!”
“Brand new!”
“As new as ever!” Teacher Fan repeated these three sentences. The old man in front of him was half-dead with anger, but he couldn't refute them.
“So you’ve been authenticating all day and everything is new! Are there no old things left in this world then?”
“I refuse to believe it. I’m going to stay here and see whose items are old!”
After the old man finished speaking, he stood next to Teacher Fan.
“Then please, be my guest.” Teacher Fan shook his head and smiled helplessly.
At the same time, Su Yun walked over with a box, a hint of excitement on his face.
“Teacher Fan, come take a look at my ancient coins!”
“I just found a bargain inside!” Su Yun said, placing a box of coins on the table.
“Heh heh, I’m this old and I can’t find a bargain, and you, a young man, think you can find one!”
“Also, young man, this Teacher Fan is just a man of undeserved reputation. He insisted my Yuan blue and white porcelain was a modern fake. I advise you not to ask him to authenticate anything.”
The old man looked at Su Yun, then at Teacher Fan. He was determined to challenge Teacher Fan today.
“It’s fine, I trust Teacher Fan.” Su Yun smiled slightly and pushed the box forward.
“Haha, thank you for your trust, friend!” Teacher Fan was clearly used to people like the old man. He pulled the box closer to him.
“Friend, how much did you pay for this box of coins?” Teacher Fan asked, frowning.
“One thousand yuan!” Su Yun stated the price without hesitation.
“Huh? Isn’t this the young man who just bought a pile of junk from Old Zhao? You’ve been ripped off. The cost of these things is only four or five hundred yuan. You spent a thousand, so you clearly lost money.” said a spectator who had witnessed Su Yun’s purchase.
“Hmm… Little brother, from what I can see, although these items of yours are old, they’re not valuable. Just as this friend said, this box is not worth a thousand yuan at all.”
“Well, at least you weren’t completely conned. Spending a few hundred yuan for a lesson isn’t bad.” Teacher Fan pushed the box back and said.
“I told you! Young man, the antique industry is very deep! It’s not something a young person like you can figure out!” Guobao Bang Da Ye also felt much more balanced psychologically.
“Teacher Fan, you only took a quick glance; you didn’t look carefully.”
“Like this.” Su Yun knew that this box was indeed very deceptive, otherwise so many people wouldn’t have failed to understand it.
So Su Yun poured everything out of the box, all of them small, uniform coins.
Then he looked inside the box and, sure enough, there was a large copper coin in excellent condition stuck to the bottom of the box!
Under the gaze of several people, Su Yun took out that coin and placed it on the table.
“Teacher Fan, please pay close attention to this coin.” Su Yun placed the mother coin in front of Teacher Fan.
“Tch! Isn’t it just a slightly larger ancient coin? At most one or two hundred yuan! You’ve still lost several hundred!” Guobao Bang Da Ye scoffed.

“Wait!” Teacher Fan was about to give his conclusion when he suddenly frowned and carefully examined the coin.
“This…” Teacher Fan felt a little excited. He quickly took the coin in his hand, gently wiped off the dust with a piece of cloth, and then meticulously scrutinized it!
Seeing Teacher Fan’s expression, Guobao Bang Da Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he secretly had a bad feeling.
More and more spectators gathered, seeing that they rarely saw Teacher Fan so serious, because in the past, it was mostly Guobao Bang.
Su Yun, on the other hand, was calm and composed, with a confident look on his face.
Three minutes later, someone couldn’t hold back and cautiously asked:
“Teacher Fan, is there something special about this coin?”
Upon hearing this, Teacher Fan tightened his grip on the coin in his palm, then nodded heavily, his face filled with solemnity.
“Friend, did you really buy this for a thousand yuan?” Teacher Fan’s expression held a hint of disbelief.
This mother coin is extremely rare, with a market price of five hundred thousand yuan, and if auctioned, the price would be even higher!
This young man actually found a bargain!
To find such a major bargain in this era, he truly is a lucky star descended to earth!
“Yes, it cost me a full thousand yuan. What’s wrong, Teacher Fan, is this coin not worth a thousand yuan?” Su Yun asked with a smile.
A hint of envy flashed in Teacher Fan’s eyes, then he looked around, seeing everyone waiting for the authentication result, and slowly said:
“Old!”
“An old item, a collectible of the highest grade, recognizable at first glance!”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding spectators instantly gasped!
They had just heard that this young man bought it for a thousand yuan!
He really found a bargain!
“How much is it worth?” Guobao Bang Da Ye asked impatiently, as if the item belonged to him.
“First, let me say, this treasure is a Xianfeng Tongbao, a coin with a denomination of a thousand.”
“What makes it different is ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) that this is a mother coin! Extremely rare!”
“The conservative estimate for the price is five hundred thousand yuan!”
“If it meets a collector, the price might be even higher!”
“Moreover, the condition of this coin is quite excellent. The ones I’ve seen in the past were not as good as this one!”
“It can be said to be an extremely rare collectible!”
“Brother, to get five hundred thousand for a thousand yuan, that’s a huge bargain!” Teacher Fan carefully played with the coin, his eyes full of admiration!
“Five hundred thousand! Oh my god!” Guobao Bang Da Ye clearly didn’t want to believe this fact, his eyes wide open!
Why couldn’t he find a bargain, but this young man could find such a huge one!
Why is that!
Why could he, being so young, find such a huge bargain!
Guobao Bang Da Ye was full of resentment, looking at Su Yun with intense jealousy!
Suddenly, a look of sudden realization appeared in his eyes as he looked at Teacher Fan, as if he understood something, and he shouted loudly:
“I understand!”
“I understand!”
“Teacher Fan, I trusted you so much, but I didn’t expect you to be a shill!”
“This is clearly new, but you and this young man are colluding to call it old, and then fooling everyone here into buying it, aren’t you?!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, I really don’t believe it. I can’t find a bargain, but a kid like him can!”
“Teacher Fan, don’t you feel ashamed of your shameless behavior?”
The old man seemed to have seen through everything. He wasn’t disbelieving Teacher Fan’s authentication skills, but simply jealous that Su Yun could find a bargain!
Su Yun was also speechless, unable to imagine how helpless Teacher Fan’s daily work must be!
This old man, too, lacking discernment yet insisting on doubting others!
He was very unreasonable!
“Teacher Fan, you can’t do such things! This will ruin your reputation!”
“Exactly, Teacher Fan, you are a famous authenticator, you can’t do these despicable things!”
“Teacher Fan, give me a straight answer, is this real, and is this young man really a shill you hired?”
Hearing the old man’s words, everyone else also became a little suspicious, after all, such things were really not uncommon.
Teacher Fan and Su Yun exchanged glances, both full of helplessness. What could they say to these people?
They were opportunists!
Just as Teacher Fan was about to explain, he suddenly saw someone walk out, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
“Alright, since everyone doesn’t believe me, there’s someone who should be able to convince you!”
Teacher Fan finished speaking, quickly got up, and hurried to an old man with white hair, blocking his path.
“Uncle-Master, I have something here that I need you to authenticate!”
Teacher Fan said respectfully, looking at the old man in front of him.
“It’s Professor Wang!” Someone recognized Professor Wang’s identity and quickly said.
Su Yun also recognized the old man; he was the one who had just advised him not to be fooled!
He didn’t expect him to be Teacher Fan’s Uncle-Master!
“What’s the big fuss!” Professor Wang said impatiently.
“It’s just that this young man found a bargain. Please condescend to take a look and convince everyone.” Teacher Fan led Professor Wang to the table.
“It’s you! Hahaha! I just reminded you, old man, that everything in there was junk. Why has it made Little Fan so indecisive now?”
“Isn’t everything in there just scrap metal… metal?”
Professor Wang hadn’t finished speaking when he saw the coin Teacher Fan handed him, and his eyes instantly widened…
