章節 27: Leo and Mr. Kenzi

On the other side, Leo did not fall asleep late at night. He came to a study and waited quietly.

He looked very honest, even his sitting posture was very proper, as if he was waiting for someone.

Finally, the study door opened and an old man with gray hair walked in slowly.

"Old man!" Leo quickly stood up and went forward to support him.

Mr. Kenzi sat on the chair and looked at Leo and said, "Sit down!"

After Mr. Kenzi motioned Leo to sit down, he also sat on the chair next to him and said calmly, "What do you want from me?"

Leo hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Old man, I recently received two things, please come and take a look at them."

Mr. Kenzi glanced at him and said indifferently, "What is that? Bring it over and see it."

Upon hearing this, Leo took out a small royal family vase from his arms and handed it over, explaining, "Old Man, I got this back from a young man."

After taking the vase and examining it closely, Mr. Kenzi immediately recognized its significance. He smiled faintly and said, "It's well preserved. This vase is from the Diamond Dynasty, covered in ceramic before, but now it has a beautiful patina with many royal family symbols. It should be worth at least two hundred thousand."

Leo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Old man, you really has a keen eye for identifying pearls. This vase was initially wrapped in ceramic, and even I was mistaken."

"Oh?" Mr. Kenzi raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Then how did this thing fall into your hands?"

Leo explained respectfully: "This is all thanks to a young man named Jack..."

Leo recounted the story of how he came to acquire the vase.

Mr. Kenzi nodded, his expression slightly surprised, but that was all.

"What about this second thing?" Mr. Kenzi asked again.

Leo took out a locket and said with a smile, "This second item was also brought by Jack. Take a look."

"Um?"

Mr. Kenzi took the locket suspiciously, and after examining it carefully, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"A rare sapphire locket from the Ruby Dynasty?"

"Yes, Old Man, in your opinion, is this thing real or fake?" Leo asked expectantly, his eyes eager.

Mr. Kenzi thought for a while and said, "Judging from the appearance, it does have the style of the Ruby Dynasty, and I can't see any problem with the manufacturing process."

As he spoke, Mr. Kenzi's expression changed unpredictably, and he became faintly excited.

When Leo heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

Since Mr. Kenzi said so, that thing must be correct.

Mr. Kenzi is a leading figure in the antique world, and he has an extremely keen eye. Since he says it is correct, then the item must be authentic!

At this time, Mr. Kenzi asked, "How much did you pay for this?"

Leo confessed truthfully: "It cost five million."

"It's a suitable price." Mr. Kenzi smiled. He knew the value of this thing very well. If it were sold at an auction, it could fetch at least seven or eight million.

If it works well, it might even be able to sell for a higher price.

But soon, he remembered the name mentioned by the other party and asked in confusion, "You said that you received this pendant and the vase from a young man?"

Leo nodded quickly, "Yes, his name is Jack."

"Then do you know where he got these things from?" Mr. Kenzi asked.

Leo immediately recounted everything that had happened between him and Jack from the time they met until now.

After listening, Mr. Kenzi nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "This young man is quite interesting. Do you think he is lucky or does he really have some talent?"

"Old Man, I think..." Leo pondered for a moment before slowly saying:

"I feel like he relies on real skills."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Leo said seriously, "If he got this pendant by luck, then I was also mistaken about the vase. I tried to dissuade him, but he still insisted on accepting it. He must have seen the clues a long time ago."

"So, this young man is really capable."

Mr. Kenzi stroked his beard and nodded thoughtfully.

Then he shook his head and said, "However, talent alone is far from enough. Our industry is too complicated. It is easy to enter the industry, and many people have strong momentum at the beginning, but it is not easy to maintain this momentum."

Leo nodded in agreement.

Mr. Kenzi put down the pendant and said with a smile, "Pay more attention to him. If he is really a rare talent, you can bring him to me in the future."

Hearing this, Leo nodded respectfully.

He naturally understood the meaning behind the old man's words.

This is also the purpose of his trip.

After chatting with Mr. Kenzi for a while, Leo walked out with a much lighter step.

If Jack is really a promising talent, he can try to help him.

For now, he still has a very good impression of Jack.
