My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 474

When everyone heard that the goods were worth nine billion but were sold for four billion instead, they could not help but feel heartbroken.

Xeno was puzzled. "Old Perry, your appraisal skills are on the same par as the Hamilts, right? Why don't you open your own antique store to sell the goods yourself?

"Even if you put those goods up for auction in an auction house, you'd earn more than wholesaling them to the Hamilts!"

He could not believe that everyone was treating money like dirt like Mr. Nash.

Bradley picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and explained with a smile,

"Every industry has its mix of good and bad. If a large number of antiques from the same dynasty floods the antique market, it'd be easy for someone with ill intentions to report it to the authorities.

"Then when they investigate, it'd be a piece of cake for them. The Hamilts have been in this business for decades. They have wide connections and networks. Those of us in this line of work just want peace of mind!"

Nico piped up, "Did the Tomb Whisperer Lineage always hand their goods over to the Hamilts?"

Bradley shook his head. "Relying solely on the Hamilts wouldn't be enough to handle all of the Tomb Whisperer Lineage's goods. When the old patriarch was still alive, there were more than a hundred antique dealers who worked with the Tomb Whisperer Lineage!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the data Bradley had just told them.

They wondered how big the tombs the Tomb Whisperer Lineage had robbed to rely on a hundred antique dealers.

Bradley chuckled and said, "That's enough... We've already retired now, so let's try not to mention tomb robbing anymore from now on!"

Nash picked up his glass and smiled. "Old Perry is right. Let's continue drinking!"

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and clinked them with smiles on their faces.

…

At the Hamilt household, Yadris brought two bodyguards to move all the goods into the living room.

Old Hamilt and his sons wore white gloves as they carefully inspected and appraised the items.

Their faces were flushed with excitement as they smiled from ear to ear.

After two hours of careful inspection and evaluation, Old Hamilt beamed and said, "The total value of this batch of goods is around 8.9 billion dollars, with a margin of error of no more than 50 million."

When his sons heard what he said, the smiles on their faces grew.
