165 Hot Dang! Pure Gold! Pure Gold! The Viewers are Dumbfounded! (2)
“What a pity, though!” said a middle-aged man in a short-sleeved shirt.
“What is there to lament? This livestreamer usually sells everything he finds, and seeing how close the treasure site is to our location, we can go there directly now!” said a tanned, forty-year-old man.
“Forget it, we cannot buy it!” the man in the short-sleeved shirt replied.
“Why not? It only costs just a few million, which should not be a big problem for you, right? If you want to buy it, just buy it; what’s the point of having money if you can’t spend it?” the tanned man retorted, “Are you going to take your money to your grave?”
“It’s not that I am unwilling to buy it!”
“What do you mean?”
“Big Black, don’t you understand what he means? It’s not that we can’t afford it, but that we can’t purchase it!”
“Why not?” the tanned man asked.
The old man who had interrupted earlier spoke up, “Heh, think about the scale of the resources inside this shelter. How much money would it take to build this?”
“A couple tens of millions, right?” the tanned man replied.
“Yes, and how many people in Tongzhou do you think are capable of shelling out that amount of money, especially for that many years ago?” the old man chuckled, “Think about it, if they were capable of forking out tens of millions in that era, don’t you think that their net worth is likely in the range of ten billions by now?”
Upon speaking those words, the tanned man and the short-sleeved man instantly connected the dots.
“So, what you’re saying is that, by discovering this shelter, this live streamer is offending someone of great influence?” The tanned man inquired.
“I don’t think he’ll be targeted, but if we were to acquire the goods, I’m sure that we’ll be hunted down. Folks from other regions might have the luxury to purchase the goods, but as people born and raised in Tongzhou, we’d certainly be hunted down by the owner of the shelter!”
Hearing this, the tanned man immediately exclaimed, “That’s true! The owner of this shelter wouldn’t happen to be someone from one of those few families, right?”
“I’m not sure, let’s continue watching to find out!” the old man responded.
…
Meanwhile, Luo Feng continued to open the next display case.
Surprisingly, it was even more stamps.
Upon closer inspection, the stamp had a red background and there was only one copy of it.
Of course, everyone could understand the stamp, which depicted a green-clad soldier and a rooster-shaped map.
It was printed with the words “The whole nation’s rivers and mountains are red.”
“Hmm, it appears that this is the ‘Whole Nation’s Rivers and Mountains Are Red’ stamp!”
Following this, Luo Feng immediately closed the display case.
Many people had only caught a glimpse of it and had not seen it clearly.
“What the hell! Why is the host getting faster?”
“Damn! He finished that introduction in just three seconds?”
“Can’t he take a closer look?”
“Did anyone take a screenshot? What was that just now?”
“I guess the host doesn’t want to introduce it because he’s afraid of discouraging you all!”
“Haha, I know, this stamp is worth more than the Monkey Stamp and Horse Stamp! It’s like a fighter jet among stamps!”
“Monkey Stamp: Why am I always being compared? Have I become a unit of measurement?”
“Damn! Is it worth another few million?”
“Brother, the Monkey Stamp is already over 3 million! Meanwhile, this stamp is worth at least 7 million, and that’s just a conservative estimate!”
“Remember, this is the price for a single stamp, not an entire set!”
“I see! I understand now; the host really doesn’t want to discourage us!”
Of course, it was not that Luo Feng did not want to introduce the stamp. The issue was that many terms related to the stamp could not be mentioned in the livestream.
Quickly, he opened the next cabinet.
Luo Feng found that the glass panel used here was actually unopenable.
Does this mean the owner cares a lot about this item?
Perhaps he doesn’t want to let anyone to take it out?
And so they directly fixed it inside the cabinet?
“It looks so cheap! So ugly!”
“Have we finally avoided a critical hit this time?”
Luo Feng picked up a glass clip and looked at the stamp inside.
It had a light green background with a printed coiled dragon.
It was a one-cent denomination stamp.
After a while, Luo Feng’s facial muscles twitched a little.
In the livestream room, the stamp enthusiasts suddenly became excited.
“(⊙o⊙)…”
“Damn!”
“(ΩДΩ)”
“(O_o)???”
“Is this… the Big Dragon?”
...
“Host! Host! Hurry up and draw the raffle! This round is a huge windfall!”
“Ikr? It’s skyrocketing!”
Many clueless newbies were confused as to what was occurring, but those who were knowledgeable were becoming visibly excited.
“What is this thing? Why are so many people this excited?”
“Is it worth more than the Blue Military Stamp from earlier?”
“Well, let me put it this way; the difference between them is like the sky and the earth! The previous stamps were only in the range of millions! But this one is worth tens of millions!”
“Damn! Tens of millions! Are there even stamps worth tens of millions? How come I’ve never heard about them?”
Luo Feng picked up the second glass clip containing a stamp. Although the background color was different, it still featured a printed coiled dragon.
The new stamp was a three-cent denomination.
Next, Luo Feng found a stamp with a blue background and a different denomination.
Luo Feng held the glass clips in his hand and pointed to them, saying, “Heh, this things are amazing! These are the first set of stamps issued in our country, called the Big Dragon stamps! In simple terms, they are China’s first set of stamps! They were issued around the end of the Qing dynasty! This is the trial version for the customs at that time! The complete set consists of three pieces: one-cent, three-cent, and five-cent denominations, and the coiled dragon which represents the Qing imperial family.”
...
“Damn! Are they really that awesome?”
“Seriously, host, what kind of luck do you have?”
“The owner of this shelter, is truly a dedicated collector!”
