    Chapter 38 Eighty Million, Sold!


    “This sculpture may not be perfect in craftsmanship, and it looks a bit ugly in its form, but ites with a mark engraved by Bernini himself! Eighty million, do you want to buy it or not, Smiley Nick?”


    “Eighty million, deal! I’ll transfer the funds right away!”


    Nichs transferred eighty million to Jessica, and Daniel handed over the statue with Bernini’s mark. The transaction was sessful. The purchase of a statue marked by Bernini filled Nichs with joy. He knew that with some promotion, this piece could easily fetch at least one hundred million at auction, with a bit of extra effort perhaps 1.5 billion or even 2 billion, avish sum,


    Pointing to the remaining two forgeries, Nichs addressed Daniel, “Daniel, <b>you </b>seem to know something about these pieces too? If you can reveal their secrets and show they’re worth over 120 million, I won’t just buy them instantly, I’ll also fulfill my previous promise to kneel and apologize to you.”


    Nichs had deemed the remaining orient antique porcin and the M painting to be fakes. Otherwise, Jessica would just be too lucky.


    Daniel picked up the Tang sancai horse and handed it to Nichs. “Smiley Nick, how much do you think this porcin artifact is worth?”


    “This is certainly a fake, looking like something from the 19th century, at most worth 500,000,”


    “Are you certain <b>it’s </b>from the 19th century?”


    “Absolutely!”


    “How about this? Let’s make a bet. If this porcin piece is a 19th–century imitation, I’ll give you one


    <b>million</b>. If not, you give me one million.”


    Nichs examined the plece carefully rather than epting the bet right away. After scrutinizing it attentively for ten minutes, Nichs made up his mind. “This is a 19th–century imitation. I ept <b>your </b>challenge! I don’t believe this isn’t a fake!”


    “All right!”


    Daniel took the porcin <b>and </b>smashed it to the ground with force.


    Crash!


    As soon as it hit the floor, it shattered into countless pieces. Everyone was shocked. No one understood


    what Daniel was up to. Brittany was the first to recover <b>from </b>the shock and started yelling at him. “You


    <b>idiot</b>, what are you doing? Even as a forgery, that piece is worth 500,000! Now that you smashed it to smithereens, it’s worth nothing!”


    “It was worthless to begin with.‘


    Daniel’s response left Nichs puzzled.


    “What do you mean, Daniel?”


    Chapter 30 Eghty Miton Soldi


    Picking up a shard, Daniel read the Inscription: “Made by Beljing State–Owned Ceramic <b>Factory</b><b>, </b>1985.


    Nichs was bbergasted.


    “This… this was made in 1985?”


    “Smiley Nick, you’ve lost the bet.”


    “Daniel, you’re impressive! You bested me! This one million is yours!”


    Although Nichs lost a million in the bet, he had initially sold the fake porcin piece to Jessica for thirty million. Hence, Nichs hadn’t really lost anything; he simply missed out on one million in profit, insignificantpared to the astronomical thirty million he made.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    However, this fake that was originally only worth 500,000 in Smiley Nick’s hands just won Daniel a million with such an ingenious move. Daniel truly was clever.


    Thinking this, Jessica couldn’t help but smile.
