Chapter 1185: This Stamp Is Actually Worth So Much Money?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“l just heard that Manager Ishigaki is willing to pay 5 million. I’ll pay 6 million then.’
Ye Feng thought about it and gave a price.
He didn’t want to be a sucker, so he added about 50,000 Chinese yuan to the price of the stone wall.
However, Ms. Oda was still overjoyed. “6 million? Really?”
Manager Ishigaki’s expression changed. He stared at Ye Feng with an unfriendly gaze. “Friend, are you trying to stop me?”
Ye Feng ignored his threat. “How can this be called stealing? It’s a fair trade. The highest bidder gets it.”
Ishigaki gritted his teeth and turned to look at Oda. “l bid 6.5 million.”
Before Oda could react, Ye Feng immediately raised the bid. “8 million.”
Shi Yuan’s expression turned even uglier. “8.5 million…”
“10 million!”
Ye Fengs determined expression made Manager Ishigaki gnash his teeth in anger.
In fact, he couldn’t tell the exact value of this stamp. The main reason was that the things that Miss Oda had brought before were all rare and exquisite. He thought that the value of this stamp wouldn’t be too bad, so he was willing to pay this price.
Now that Ye Feng had interfered, his plan was completely disrupted.
Ye Feng had a faint smile on his face. “Why? Are you still adding? If you don’t, this stamp is mine.”
Ishigaki snorted coldly and did not speak again.
That Miss Oda quickly walked over and held Ye Fengs hand. “Sir, are you really willing to pay 10 million?”
She grabbed him very hard, as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word.
Before Ye Feng could say anything, Shen Baitian walked over and pulled her hand away, turning to look at Ye Feng. “Why did you buy such a lousy stamp?”
10 million Japanese dollars was only around 500,000 Chinese yuan. It wasn’t a lot of money, but it wasn’t worth it to buy a lousy stamp, right?
Could it be that this guy saw that this woman was beautiful and wanted to seduce her again?
Ye Feng did not know what she was thinking. He only smiled. “l will explain to you later. Lend me some money first.”
Although Shen Baitian was very reluctant, she still transferred the money for him.
When the woman received the 10 million Japanese dollars, she was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
This price had far exceeded her expectations.
Ishigaki could not help but mutter to himself, “Chinese people are indeed stupid and rich.”
He felt that this stamp was worth at most a few million Japanese dollars. Spending 10 million to buy it was simply a fool.
Shen Baitian saw that the deal was done and continued to ask, “Can you tell me now? What is the origin of this stamp? You actually spent so much money?”
Ye Feng did not hide it anymore, as he took out the stamp and looked at it, he explained, “This stamp is also known as the red stamp, it is considered the most expensive stamp in China, back then…”
Shen Baitian was in a daze and hurriedly interrupted, “l don’t understand. Just tell me directly. How much is it worth?”
Ye Feng had no choice but to stop and give an answer. “It’s worth at least five million.’
Shen Baitian was confused. “Japanese currency?”
Ye Feng shook his head. “Chinese currency.”
Shen Baitian’s beautiful eyes widened as she exclaimed, “5 million! Chinese currency?”
Ye Feng only spent about 500,000 on this stamp. She did not expect that the true value was ten times more. This was simply robbing money. No, it was faster than robbing money.
The two of them communicated in Mandarin, thinking that the two people beside them did not understand.
However, she did not expect that after hearing Ye Fengs true value, Manager Ishigaki also opened his mouth in shock. He asked in broken Mandarin: “This stamp is actually worth so much money?”
Not only him, but even Oda, who was beside him, froze. She seemed to understand as well.
Ye Feng looked at Shen Baitian helplessly. “Do Japanese people know how to speak Mandarin?”
Shen Baitian was also a little embarrassed. “Probably… not that much, right?”
Ye Feng did not care too much. It was fine even if they heard it. The deal was already done. He was not afraid of them going back on their words.
“As the first ‘substitute stamp’ in China, this stamp has repeatedly set new records for international Chinese mail auctions. It is well-deserved as the ‘King of Chinese Post’. The highest record is close to 5 million Chinese dollars…
He saw that Ishigaki was very curious, so he told him about the origin and information of this stamp.
After Ishigaki heard this, he immediately felt deep respect for him. “Thank you for your guidance, sir. I have learned my lesson.”
He wasn’t upset that he had missed out on a valuable stamp. He could only blame himself for not recognizing the value.
Ye Feng kept the stamp and was about to leave with Shen Baitian. At this moment, Oda suddenly blocked their way. “Wait a minute!”
Ye Feng turned around and looked at her. “Is there anything else?”
Oda seemed to have mustered up her courage. “I’ll return the money to you. Can you return this stamp to me?” she asked.
Ye Fengs expression darkened. ‘You want to go back on your word?”
Oda shook her head hurriedly. “No, l… This stamp is the last thing my grandfather left me.”
“l took it out to sell because 1 was seriously ill. I suddenly don’t want to sell it anymore. Please give it back to me.”
Ye Feng was unmoved by her pleas. “I’m afraid this is against the rules?”
“You’ve already accepted the money. This stamp has nothing to do with you anymore. How can you take it back?”
Oda looked like she was about to cry. “My parents died in a car accident when I was very young. I grew up with my grandfather. He’s my only family.”
“Although my family is very poor, no matter what delicious food there is, he will give it to me. When I was ten years old, my grandfather also passed away. No one in this world loves me anymore…”
The more she spoke, the sadder she became. In the end, she was already sobbing. “This stamp is the only thing Grandpa left for me. Every time 1 was in despair, I would be filled with hope once I saw it. If I hadn’t been seriously ill this time, I definitely wouldn’t have sold it…”
Her face was already pale, and now that she was crying, she looked even more pitiful.
Shen Baitian’s heart softened. She could not stand it anymore. She quickly tugged at Ye Fengs arm.
“She’s quite pitiful. Just return it to her..”
