Seeing that the old man was being honest, Li Du chose not to use any underhanded methods.
He brought both of the clocks forward and said, "You are right, Mr. Raymond. These two are the replicas, and those two are the real antiques."
Hans opened all the clocks. Although the four clocks had similar outer appearances, the clarity of the printed numbers and the level of wear on the parts were vastly different.
With the authenticity proven, next would be negotiating the price.
"Are you buying just the antiques or all four of them?" Hans asked.
Raymond laughed. "I'm not a merchant. I'm a collector. Replicas are worthless to me. The two authentic clocks are my sole desire."
Hans pulled Li Du to the side and softly said, "I just checked the price of the clocks on the net. From their era and quality, I think that selling them for 700 grand a clock is possible."
