Perhaps others need specialized tools or decades of experience to distinguish the authenticity of antiques.
But he has the ability to see through them and can directly identify whether these antiques are real or fake.
They arrived at a luxurious community, where all the houses are standalone villas.
In such a place, each villa is worth at least one hundred million; only wealthy individuals with connections are qualified to live here.
In the past, when Lin Fan passed by the entrance of this community, he could only envy it from afar, unable to even enter as the security would stop him.
When the Maybach arrived at the community gate, the security guard respectfully let Zhang Daolin through upon seeing him.
As the Maybach drove through the luxurious villas, Lin Fan looked out of the window at each villa, feeling a deep longing inside.
Previously, these villas seemed unattainable to him; he would probably never be able to afford one even after working hard for several lifetimes.
But now, everything is no longer a dream. If he picks up a few more antiques at tonight's trading event, he might just have a chance to buy a villa.
"Uncle Zhang, how much does each villa cost?"
Lin Fan pulled his gaze back and wanted to inquire about the value of these villas.
Zhang Daolin glanced at the villas outside and casually replied, "These villas are generally unaffordable for ordinary people, starting at around 200 million. The better ones can go for 1 billion!"
"Wow..."
Hearing Zhang Daolin say this, Lin Fan gasped in shock. The value of these villas was far more exaggerated than he had imagined.
He thought he could buy one for 100 million, but it turned out to start at 200 million, with an average price of five to six hundred million!
Ordinary people work hard their entire lives and probably couldn't even afford a bathroom here. This area is concentrated with wealthy individuals in the capital.
Typically, only those with money and power can live here.
Under normal circumstances, outsiders cannot enter. The security at the entrance is strict; if you’re not a familiar face, it’s nearly impossible for outside vehicles to get in!
"I have a villa here that's empty. If you want to stay, I can give you the key," Zhang Daolin suddenly said.
Lin Fan looked at Zhang Daolin in shock and shook his head. "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, but I have a place to stay right now."
Lin Fan had tried his best to guess Zhang Daolin's identity, but he was surprised when Zhang Daolin revealed that he actually owned a villa here.
"Lin Fan, you are still young. I believe you will have your own villa one day. Work hard tonight!" Zhang Daolin suddenly said to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan felt a bit confused inside; he didn't understand why Zhang Daolin had invited him to this Private Trading Event, considering they had only met once.
"Uncle Zhang, why do you value me so much?"
Lin Fan took the initiative to voice his doubts. He felt that Zhang Daolin seemed intentionally interested in promoting him and wanted to take him under his wing.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Daolin smiled and glanced at Lin Fan.
"You are not an ordinary person!"
After Zhang Daolin bought the Azure Jade Double Crane Pendant from Lin Fan, he consulted several experts. However, none of them could determine its authenticity. Eventually, he found some authoritative experts who confirmed that the jade was genuine.
The descriptions those experts provided matched exactly what Lin Fan had said, leading him to realize that Lin Fan was not simple.
This young man had secrets; his ability to discern the authenticity of the Azure Jade Double Crane indicated that his knowledge was quite profound.
Thus, this was also the reason he brought Lin Fan along tonight—he wanted to test whether Lin Fan truly had an eye for quality.
If Lin Fan can really distinguish between the genuine and fake antiques at the trading fair, then he has definitely made a valuable friend!
In their line of work, knowing a few discerning individuals is only beneficial, with no downsides.
"I'm just an ordinary person," Lin Fan said.
"Whether you're ordinary or not will soon be revealed. If you find any genuine items you like at the trading fair, let me know, and we can split the cost!"
Zhang Daolin also explained the purpose of this trip to Lin Fan. At tonight's trading fair, if they found any antiques they liked, they would have to buy them with real money, as many antiques are priced very high and are unaffordable for most people.
Zhang Daolin had also done some research on Lin Fan and knew that he lived in a rented room in a nearby community, sharing it with others.
Usually, he just runs food deliveries or sets up street stalls to make ends meet; he is not a wealthy person.
Zhang Daolin felt that although Lin Fan had an eye for antiques, he might not have the money to purchase what he liked.
He saw this as an opportunity: as long as Lin Fan identified something he wanted, Zhang Daolin could pay for it, and they would split the profits fifty-fifty.
After understanding Zhang Daolin's intentions, Lin Fan nodded without hesitation; this was his pain point.
Now he has over two million, and if he sets his sights on those highly valuable antiques, he really can't afford to buy them.
If Zhang Daolin is willing to spend the money to buy them, splitting the profits fifty-fifty wouldn't be a loss for him.
"Then let's have a pleasant cooperation!"
Seeing Lin Fan agree, Zhang Daolin was very happy; this was his goal for tonight.
The two quickly arrived in front of a luxurious villa.
According to Zhang Daolin, this villa is worth at least one billion, indicating that the owner of this villa holds an extraordinary status and is also the host of tonight's trading event.
At the entrance of the villa stood two bodyguards responsible for checking the arriving members. After Zhang Daolin presented his membership card and the bodyguards verified its authenticity, they opened the iron gate and let them in.
Once inside the Maybach, they arrived at the front of the villa.
In front of the villa, a row of luxury cars was already parked, each worth at least one million, with even some worth tens of millions present here.
The Maybach parked among the luxury cars, and then the two got out and walked toward the villa ahead.
A row of bodyguards stood at the entrance of the villa. When they saw the two approaching, one of the bodyguards stepped forward to lead them into the villa's hall.
The villa was extremely luxurious; even the carpet in the entrance hall was worth hundreds of thousands.
Lin Fan felt a shock inside; indeed, the world of the wealthy was beyond the comprehension of the poor. Just a single carpet on the floor was worth hundreds of thousands.
Inside the hall, dozens of people were already standing. Most of them were middle-aged or elderly, dressed in very expensive attire, clearly not ordinary individuals.
Many even exuded an air of authority, as if they were people in high positions.
After entering, some people took the initiative to greet Zhang Daolin, but they completely ignored Lin Fan, who stood beside him. They instinctively assumed Lin Fan was just a junior or perhaps a driver for Zhang Daolin.
Not many paid extra attention to Lin Fan, and he felt a slight sense of disappointment. At such a high-end gathering, he could feel the gap in status even more acutely.
"This is my friend, Lin Fan!" Zhang Daolin took the initiative to introduce Lin Fan to others.
