Short filmTranscript
00:00The seemingly foolish man merely licked a string of Buddhist prayer beads, and his eyes suddenly
00:04gleamed with a golden light. As he looked around, wherever his gaze fell, the value of every object
00:09instantly became visible to him. He immediately realized he had gained the power of clairvoyance.
00:13Without hesitation, he went to an antique shop, hoping to uncover a hidden treasure. There,
00:18he witnessed the shop owner selling a fake piece of jade, worth only 100 yuan, for an exorbitant
00:23price of 30 million. Unable to stand by and watch an unsuspecting woman be deceived,
00:27he exposed a fraud on the spot. That jade is fake! No way that's 30 million!
00:32A hundred at most! Hey you! That's nonsense! You better shut your mouth!
00:36Let him speak. What?
00:41But... Miss Miller, while the jade carving looks exquisite, the details are poorly copied,
00:47especially at the pattern transitions. There are obvious machine-carved marks,
00:51and the jade quality is also wrong as well. That is not Tang Dynasty jade at all. It's just a replica,
00:57a hundred at most. You... you're talking nonsense!
01:01Ethan, are you sure? I'm sure. Miss Miller, my... my jade is absolutely authentic!
01:06Miss Miller, if you doubt me, you can have it checked. Miss Miller, please don't listen to his
01:11nonsense! Mister, the merchandise in your store is quite questionable.
01:17Miss Miller, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Oh, hold on. I have other fine items in my store. I'll bring
01:24them! I'll make sure you're happy! If I'm disappointed again, you won't like the consequences.
01:32Miss Miller, look! I have fortune. Activate!
01:35The Viren Dynasty treasure. Look here, at this glaze and patterns. This is absolutely a collector's item!
01:42Ethan, what do you think of this vase? Miss Miller, this vase is excellent. A good buy.
01:49Three hundred thousand! How about that? This porcelain vase is worth at least sixty million,
01:54and he's selling it for just three hundred thousand. He doesn't know what he has.
02:00Miss Miller, I apologize. Come back anytime!
02:02Miss Miller, hold on! Miss Miller, this blue and white vase is worth at least sixty million.
02:13I suggest you have it appraised immediately. Sixty million? Are you sure?
02:16Absolutely. Definitely more than three hundred thousand.
02:20I'll have someone appraise it. Good.
02:29Blake? I understand, Miss.
02:31Mr. Li, I'm sending over a blue and white vase. Please authenticate it.
02:50Hello? Mr. Li? Miss Miller, the vase that you sent over is definitely a Miren Dynasty masterpiece.
02:56His market value is at least sixty million. You really found a treasure this time.
03:00This Ethan is... extraordinary. He could tell the value of this vase at a glance. He's definitely not someone with basic knowledge.
03:11Ethan!
03:13Miss Miller? What are you doing here?
03:16I was waiting for you.
03:17For me?
03:17Mr. Li authenticated the vase. It is indeed from the Miren Dynasty Imperial Kiln and valued at sixty million. I owe you my thanks.
03:25It's nothing. Being able to help you is my pleasure.
03:27Come to my office tomorrow. Let's talk some more.
03:30Sure. I'll be there.
03:32Young man, to be honest with you, this horse figurine, I'm not sure if it's authentic. It's from a friend who left it here on consignment, but he's asking three million dollars for it.
03:42Now, about Miss Miller, you probably don't know. She's Mr. Miller's granddaughter. The chairwoman of Dracon Group. She's quite something.
03:49Mr. Miller is a legend in the antique circles. Harper is actually the chairwoman of Dracon Group. No wonder she's so wealthy.
04:00Don't worry. You'll be rewarded if this works out. I'll make sure you won't lose out.
04:04Please don't say that, Harper. Trust me, you're doing me the honor. How could I accept a reward? It's my privilege to help you.
04:11This guy seems to be a smooth talker. Are you sure we should buy this one?
04:16I recommend you take this figurine. It is absolutely genuine. Something worth 200 million for just 3 million. An absolute steal.
04:25All right. I'll buy it.
04:26Harper, I knew you'd be here.
04:31Mr. Martin, please take a look at this.
04:33Sure.
04:46Harper, if you wanted an appraisal, you could have asked me. Why bother with someone like this guy?
04:54Lucas, it's none of your business. I think I've made myself clear before. Leave me alone.
04:59Harper, I've even brought Mr. Martin with me today.
05:04The famous antique collector, Mr. Martin?
05:07Mr. Martin, if you need an appraisal, I'd be happy to assist you. No need to seek help from this unknown nobody.
05:16This figurine is definitely a shoddy product.
05:19Mr. Martin, reputation is important, but authentication relies on skill and experience, not just titles.
05:28Young man, that's quite a bold claim, but true ability cannot be proven by words only.
05:35Ethan, a nobody like you shouldn't embarrass yourself.
05:40Harper, Mr. Martin is widely recognized as an expert appraiser. Why waste your time with this person?
05:46Lucas, I already told you it's none of your business. I took Ethan here, and I trust him.
05:53Harper, why do you always side with this loser here?
05:55Lucas, listen carefully. Ethan is my man. If you lay a hand on him, don't blame me for what happens.
06:04Harper, this loser can't compete with an appraiser like Mr. Martin? I mean, how skilled can he be?
06:09Mr. Lucas is right. In the appraisal business, you rely on a trained eye and second on your experience.
06:16This young man is at most in his twenties. What trained eye could he possibly have? It's unlikely.
06:22Harper, you heard Mr. Martin. You can't let this loser con you.
06:28Lucas, I won't repeat myself a second time. Also, my nickname Harper, don't use it anymore. We're not that close.
06:36Lucas, fine then. Miss Miller, I'm just worried because he might take advantage of you.
06:45Ethan, let's go now. Okay. Hey, you. I'll ask you one last time. Are you trying to cross me?
06:57Mr. King, is something wrong with your eyes? What do you mean? Harper can't stand you. Can't you see that?
07:03Why don't you go and get lost? Out of the way.
07:10Harper, let's go now. Okay.
07:18Please come again. These two jerks really piss me off.
07:31Grandpa? Uh, this is a glazed glass cup. You know, they say it was used by the imperial family.
07:45A worthless piece of junk. It's embarrassing to show it off.
07:48I asked a good friend to buy this. It's an imperial porcelain cup. They say noble consorts used it to eat noodles.
07:58Excellent, excellent. As I expected from my grandsons, both of these items are genuine antiques.
08:05Grandpa approves of them. Grandpa. Ah, Harper is here. Well, if it isn't, our family's busy bee.
08:17Harper, what's in that box you're carrying? It's my birthday gift for grandpa.
08:22Hey, Harper, what is that? Let me see. Let's take a look.
08:35Hey, Harper, you mean to tell me this piece of junk is your birthday gift to grandpa?
08:43A worthless horse figurine.
08:45Harper, looks like you haven't learned anything from grandpa's expertise.
08:49This worthless piece of trash, I say we should smash it.
08:52Hey.
08:54Grandpa, isn't this just a broken horse figurine?
08:56Who was fool?
08:57Oh, hey.
09:01Grandpa, why did you hit me?
09:04Tri-colored horse.
09:08It's actually a genuine one.
09:12My goodness, this is worth a small fortune.
09:18Harper, this gift of yours, grandpa loves it very much.
09:24Grandpa, it's just a small token. I hope you'll like it.
09:28The tri-colored horse is not just an antique. It's also a witness to history.
09:33The fact that you found it shows you are thoughtful.
09:36Grandpa, I was just lucky, that's all.
09:39Luck is important, of course, but what's more important is thoughtfulness and a good eye.
09:47Harper, you have grown so much.
09:51Harper, how much did you pay for this horse?
09:58Ethan wasn't lying to me. This sculpture really is priceless.
10:03Who is he exactly to have such a discerning eye?
10:07Hey, Harper.
10:09Grandpa's talking to you.
10:11Oh, grandpa, I spent a total of two million on this.
10:15What?
10:20Excellent, excellent.
10:22This is the biggest steal that I've ever heard of.
10:26Oh my, it seems that our family has a worthy successor.
10:35Grandpa?
10:36Huh?
10:36Hmm?
10:37Actually, this horse was picked out by my friend.
10:45What was that?
10:46Ethan Smith. I met him by chance.
10:50He has an eye for detail. He immediately saw the value of this horse.
10:54He insisted I buy it.
10:55While I was hesitant at first, I never expected.
10:57A prodigy. This young man has a rare talent.
11:02You know, I had to study it for some time before I was sure.
11:06It was a tricolored horse.
11:08Yet he was absolutely certain.
11:13Clearly, he knew the value of the tricolored horse.
11:16That kind of skill isn't something just anyone can gain.
11:19Hey, Harper. Go thank him in person for me right now.
11:25And, if possible, bring him to my birthday banquet. The day after tomorrow.
11:29Yes, grandpa.
11:31Oh, Harper. In a couple of days, isn't there an auction in Arrow City?
11:36Take him there to look around. Buy him a gift as thanks, huh?
11:39One good turn deserves another. Our Miller family can't be seen as lacking manners.
11:44All right, I will arrange it.
11:46Hmm.
11:49Ethan, what kind of person are you? Why do you always manage to surprise me?
12:10Hey, did you guys hear? Yesterday, some guy found three incredible bargains and made over 300 million.
12:16Yeah, I heard that too. They see he has an amazing eye and can spot which items are authentic.
12:22The boss has no clue. He already paid for them. That guy has incredible luck.
12:26Sure enough, with the eye of fortune, making money is so easy now.
12:31In just a few days, I've gone from being dead broke to becoming a millionaire.
12:35I've finally escaped poverty and found prosperity.
12:39Young man?
12:42Huh?
12:46I never thought an antique shop owner would be worth over a hundred million dollars.
12:50Need something?
12:52At least his attitude is much better than that guy I saw yesterday.
12:56No wonder his business is so successful.
12:58Young man, sir, would you like to take a look at these for me?
13:03Not bad.
13:17Excellent condition.
13:19Very nice.
13:20Young man, these items are in great condition, though they're not major pieces. I can offer you this amount for both.
13:31These items combined are worth 35 million dollars, but he's offering 30 million.
13:37Hmm, that's actually pretty fair.
13:40Okay, it's a deal.
13:41Excellent.
13:45Good, it's transferred.
13:47Thank you, sir.
13:48It was my pleasure.
13:49Well, I'll be going now.
13:50All right.
13:50Thanks.
13:51Take care.
13:53Mr. Garcia, take a look at this stone for me.
13:57Whoa, looks like another big shot just arrived.
14:02Worth billions.
14:03What kind of big shot is this guy?
14:05Appraise this for me.
14:11Oh, you old devils.
14:13Where did you get all these stones, huh?
14:15Don't tell me you dug them up from some mining site.
14:17Never mind where I got them.
14:19Aren't you the expert on ancient jade?
14:22That's why I came to you.
14:24Help me see which one of these three stones is the best value.
14:29Hey, listen.
14:30These three stones here weren't cheap.
14:33I'm going to cut one completely in half.
14:36Just for myself.
14:38All right.
14:39First, let me take a look.
14:42In the past, I was the one helping you pick stones.
14:45But the ones you chose yourself, all worthless.
14:52I choose this one.
14:53Texture, water content, finish.
14:55It's definitely the best of all three.
14:58Great.
14:59I will return the other two.
15:02Hold on.
15:06Mr. Garcia, who is this?
15:08Oh, this young man found a couple of bargains that he sold to me.
15:13He's a customer of mine now.
15:15What's wrong?
15:16Do you have a different opinion about what I just said?
15:19Excuse me, but I believe this stone here is actually the best of the three items.
15:28Hey, kid.
15:30Are you sure about this?
15:31Young man, I admit you do have a good eye, but jade and antiques are completely different things.
15:38Experience wins over eyesight.
15:41Listen, if that's the case, how about we make a bet?
15:43What kind of bet?
15:44When it's cut, and I win, this stone belongs to me.
15:49And what if you lose?
15:51If I lose, I'll buy all three stones and give them to both of you as a gift.
15:56What?
15:57Well now, young man, that's quite interesting.
16:03Judging by your age, you're about as old as my granddaughter, yet you dare to make such a gutsy bet.
16:11Pardon me, if you're mistaken about that.
16:13True talent is found anywhere.
16:15Sure, I may be young, but that doesn't mean I can't win.
16:20Well said.
16:21Well, in that case, I will take your bet.
16:24You know, I have stone-cutting tools inside.
16:27Let's cut the stones right now.
16:30Great. Let's go.
16:34Here.
16:34All right.
16:35Young man, you first or me first?
16:38You are my elder, so please go ahead.
16:40I won't bother with formalities.
16:42Mr. Howard, cut my piece first.
16:51Young man, my stone here, the outer skin shows ice particles.
16:57At minimum, it's ice water jade.
16:59Now look at yours.
17:01A yellow haze on the surface, and no other promising signs.
17:04It won't have good texture and translucency.
17:07But sir, we haven't tested it yet.
17:09How can you be so sure?
17:15Hey boss, it's open now.
17:16Isn't this ice water violet jade?
17:25And that's not all too.
17:27Its texture and translucency are high-grade ice jade.
17:30Just this piece alone is worth at least 10 million.
17:33Amazing.
17:34Well done.
17:35Well now, it is my livelihood after all.
17:39Young man, it's not too late to admit defeat.
17:43Hold on.
17:43Don't celebrate too early now.
17:46My stone hasn't been cut open yet.
17:48Stubborn until the very end.
17:50Fine.
17:50Mr. Howard, the young man's stone, cut it now.
17:54All right.
17:54How do you want to cut?
18:06Mr. Garcia, I think this kid is going to lose the bet.
18:11That's fine.
18:12Consider it a lesson for the young man.
18:16Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
18:24Cut it this way.
18:30Young man, is this your first time cutting jade?
18:34The cracks on the surface of your stone likely go deep inside.
18:39We normally cut it by avoiding the cracks like so.
18:42If you cut it your way, it might break after.
18:45Don't worry.
18:46Just trust me, sir.
18:49All right then.
18:54How?
19:04How is this possible?
19:08What's going on there?
19:10Boss!
19:11Look!
19:12Look at this!
19:17Glass water green jade?
