Zhou Liangyun firmly stated that he would not entertain any negotiations or price increases for the set price of 20 million. Simply put, the situation in Aurous Hill follows a firste, first-served principle.
Consequently, numerous Tibetan friends wasted no time contacting appraisal experts throughout the night, with some even bookingst-minute tickets to head to Aurous Hill the following morning.
Among the most determined was a collector from Eastcliff, known for his expertise in bronzes.
After a quick online discussion with Zhou Liangyun, he reached out to familiar experts, inquiring if they could join him on an immediate trip to Aurous Hill. To outpace potentialpetitors, he believed the best strategy was to leave that very night. Even with the earliest flight scheduled for after six o’clock, it would be nearly eight by the time theynded, and after traveling from the airport to the antique street, they wouldn’t arrive until around nine.
Thus, driving through the night was the most sensible option. Covering a thousand kilometers at maximum speed would allow them to reach their destination in approximately ten hours.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
It was now nine o’clock in the evening, and they decided to depart immediately, aiming to arrive in Aurous Hill by six or seven the next morning.
And he was not the only one showing such determination.
While Jacob eagerly packed his belongings, other skilled collectors from across the country had already set out for Aurous Hill, each hoping to secure the coveted treasure.<fn9794> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find?novel</fn9794>
Many had booked the earliest flights avable for the next day, eager to arrive in Aurous Hill and test their luck.

The next day, Jacob and ine woke up at six o’clock. Both donned their finest outfits, packed their bags neatly, and headed downstairs, ready to go straight to the airport after breakfast.
At the same time, Charlie and ire also woke up early, nning to drive them to the airport after they finished their meal.
Meanwhile, the antique street was still closed.
Zhou Liangyun chose not to stay at his store the previous night but returned to his hotel. Before leaving, he put up a notice at his store’s entrance stating: “Open at nine o’clock. Please queue up and take a number to wait.”
Below this notice, he had cut ten strips of paper with numbers one to ten written in Chinese characters.
A vendor who had originally tipped off Chen Yufei spotted the notice and shared a video in the antique street group, sarcastically saying, “Look at this! Does Zhou Liangyun think he’s a big deal? Does he really believe there will be a crowd today? Isn’t it ridiculous to ask people to queue?”
Another person chimed in, “I bet they’re aware there will be a long line this morning, which is why he posted this notice!”
The vendorughed and quipped, “I would love to ask him in person how it felt to lose 300,000 yuan.”
Someone in the group shouted, “Then why don’t you hurry and take a number! Can’t you see there are only ten numbers from one to ten? I bet those numbers are for Da Yue Zhong’s visitors today!”
