Adult fairy tale: Starting with social security black silk Little Red Riding Hood!

Putting on white gloves, he carefully picked up the clock and examined it.

"A gilded court clock from Central Europe, it's rare to see one preserved so well."

The old man admired the clock in his hand with obvious affection, clearly fond of the item.

"Based on market prices, this clock is worth around $8,000 to $10,000, but this one is in excellent condition, and I really like it."

"If you sell it to me, I can give you $15,000."

"No one here will offer you more than me. Think about it, young man."

The old man looked at Rhode and spoke directly.

Hiss!

How much?

Fifteen thousand dollars!

Rhode's heart skipped a beat. He never imagined that a gilded antique clock could be worth so much.

The modern timepiece, an industrial art piece he bought, wasn't even worth a hundred dollars.

He made nearly several hundred times the profit in one go.

This is practically robbery!

"Deal!"

Since it was something he found for free, selling it meant profit. He didn't bother haggling.

Watching the old white man carefully pack away the clock, Rhode took out a guitar case from the box.

"How much is this worth? I'm thinking of selling it too."

Rhode casually placed the guitar case on the counter, not thinking a guitar could be worth much.

The gilded clock was so valuable because it was an antique.

This guitar is probably only worth a few hundred dollars.

"This guitar is just an ordinary handmade item. If you're planning to sell it, I can give you a thousand dollars at most."

The old man picked up the guitar, glanced at it, and put it back down, his enthusiasm waning.

A thousand dollars isn't bad either.

After all, his expectation was only a few hundred dollars.

Rhode was about to agree when a voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Could I take a look at that?"

A middle-aged man, who had appeared behind Rhode unnoticed, was staring intently at the guitar on the counter.

"Sure!"

After a thorough examination, the middle-aged man looked at Rhode.

He directly quoted a price that shocked Rhode.

"One hundred thousand dollars. I want the case."

One hundred thousand dollars?

Rhode's scalp tingled. What could be worth a hundred thousand dollars?

Seeing the incredulous expression on Rhode's face, the middle-aged man didn't keep him in suspense.

"This guitar case is a custom-made Hermès case for the guitar master Eric Clapton, worth one hundred thousand dollars."

"Although I don't know why it's in your hands, it's a very valuable collectible for me."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he handed over a business card.

Brown Karl, President of Hermès.

Chapter 3: A Net Worth of Millions!

One hundred thousand dollars!

Not to mention now, even before he time-traveled, he had never seen so much money.

If he didn't sell it, he would be a complete idiot.

After all, besides this Hermès president.

It's unlikely that anyone else would offer such a high price just to buy a guitar case.

"Deal!"

Rhode agreed immediately.

Anyway, the guitar case hadn't been sold yet, so it was still his property.

Of course, he was qualified to make the deal.

As for whether the guitar case was genuine or not, who knew?

Anyway, he wasn't the one who claimed it was the real deal.

This guy insisted it was real and bought it for one hundred thousand dollars.

Even if he bought a fake, it had nothing to do with him.

"Old John, I didn't expect you to misjudge something."

Brown Karl was in a good mood and smiled at the old man behind the counter.

It was obvious that the two had a good relationship.

"I don't know much about these luxury goods."

Old John shook his head. Every collector has their own area of expertise.

He didn't know much about luxury goods, so it was inevitable that he would misjudge things.

Having sold two items and made a profit of one hundred and ten thousand dollars, Rhode was in a very good mood.

He directly poured out the pile of unidentified silver coins from his wallet.

Seven silver coins, from seven different countries and eras.

In the Lighthouse Country, many collectors like to collect gold and silver coins with historical and cultural significance, so the price of ancient silver coins remains high.

The seven silver coins together are worth at least a few thousand dollars.

"Hiss!"

Old John looked at the few silver coins on the table, his originally nonchalant gaze suddenly freezing.

His eyes fell on one of the Flowing Hair Liberty Dollar coins.

Old John picked up a magnifying glass and carefully examined the image on the silver coin. After a long time, he let out a long breath.

"Where did you get these silver coins?"

"Passed down from my ancestors."

Rhode didn't even blink an eye and said casually.

Anyway, no one else knows the origin of these silver coins, so he can say whatever he wants.

However, from the old white man's expression, it was clear that this silver coin was worth a lot.

Even with the guitar case worth one hundred thousand dollars, the old man's expression hadn't changed much.

He guessed that the value of this silver coin was at least three hundred thousand dollars.

"The other silver coins are all from the Central European era, with exquisite patterns and well-preserved condition. I can buy them for a thousand dollars each."

"As for this Flowing Hair Liberty Dollar, how much do you want for it?"

Old John didn't directly offer a price but asked Rhode for his asking price.

Rhode stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

He slowly held up five fingers.

Although he didn't know the exact value of the silver coin, it was better to ask for a higher price to have room for negotiation.

He quoted five hundred thousand, but in reality, his expected price was three hundred thousand dollars.

As long as it was higher than that price, he would consider selling it.

"Deal!"

Seeing Rhode's asking price, Old John didn't even try to bargain and finalized the deal immediately.

"Five million dollars. How would you like to be paid?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Rhode choked on his saliva and coughed a few times, his expression somewhat distorted.

How much did you say?

Five million dollars?

Rhode thought he had misheard, but looking at Old John's expression as if he had found a great treasure.

It was clear that the price of this silver coin was definitely more than five million.

However, since he had already said it, he couldn't go back on his word.

"Just deposit it into my card."

...

When Rhode left the antique shop, he had a strong sense of unreality.

In just under an hour, he had gone from a loser without even ten thousand dollars in his pocket.

To a millionaire with a net worth of five million dollars.

Looking at the cold string of numbers in his bank card, Rhode couldn't help but pinch his thigh.

"This isn't a dream!"

It wasn't until he returned home that Rhode's excitement calmed down.

He suddenly thought of the silver coin worth five million dollars.

Rhode immediately took out his phone and started searching.

He actually found something.

The Flowing Hair Liberty Dollar is the first type of 1 US dollar coin issued by the US Federal Government, and the quantity is scarce.

The number of existing coins is even more limited.

A few months ago, at a large auction, a silver coin was auctioned off for a high price of $6.6 million.

Therefore, the old white man definitely made a profit by buying a silver coin for five million.

This kind of rare silver coin has extremely high collectible value and cannot be bought with money alone.

However, he didn't lose out either.

After all, six million dollars is the price at the auction house, and the auction house will also take a portion of the commission after the auction is successful.

If it were a normal private transaction, the value of this silver coin would only be around four to five million.

Now that he had the money, the next thing was simple.

Rhode opened his phone and placed an order directly.

He spent more than ten thousand dollars to buy a healthy, live Belgian Blue bull online.
