Chapter 1483: Chapter 708 Can’t Stop Walking_2

Will the goods run out?

After all, the volume of goods shipped these past few days has been quite large!

It’s understandable!

Oliver Smith had previously guessed that this marketplace might not last long, or although it started with genuine items, there might be some crafts appearing later.

After all, even with China’s 5,000 years of history, and countless antiques, most of these are either in government hands or with collectors. Who could possibly amass such a large collection to sell?

This is not like the last century when one could simply open an antique shop!

Today, when Oliver Smith came over, he didn’t see a closed sign, which sparked a thought in his mind.

During working hours, several big trucks arrived, and the back door of the marketplace opened, allowing visibility to stacks of items being carried in.

Then one stall after another began to set up, arrange items, and place price tags...

Oliver Smith was thrilled!

Once the team members responsible for security were stationed, someone opened the door and announced loudly,

"Please do not crowd or cause disturbances. If disturbances are found, we can expel the disturber without reason! Please shop civily..."

As soon as the door was opened, everyone rushed in!

Instantly, every stall was crowded with people!

Fortunately, the organizers were well-prepared, with barriers around each stall allowing only one person at a time to negotiate prices and make purchases. Others could look and choose with their eyes, but each transaction involved just one person with the vendor.

This at least ensured that no theft could happen here.

Oliver Smith, being experienced and prepared, was the first to rush to the third stall on the right.

This stall had been selling domestic items from the Ming and Qing Dynasty a few days ago—Copper Coins, Jade ware, bronze statues, Sea Salvaged Porcelain.

Similar to some "craft" stalls in some domestic antique markets.

But they were all genuine.

This time, rushing over, Oliver Smith was a bit taken aback.

Why had the items changed so much?

There were plenty of Copper Coins, taking up one-third of the stall from Tang to Qing Dynasty, ranging from ten to tens of thousands of dollars, all clearly marked prices.

But the Sea Salvaged Porcelain was less, Jade ware was less, and more bronze ware, which seemed to be from Europe and Southeast Asia, also antique but such items had little market in China.

And there were other items now, such as vintage telescopes, foreign golden coins, gemstone-embedded pocket watches, silver ink pots, and so on.

There was significantly more foreign stuff.

From Oliver Smith’s perspective, the items were genuine, but he was unfamiliar with them.

Though curious, he eventually only bought a few good-looking Copper Coins, then left, making room for others who were eagerly waiting to buy.

Many foreign items at the stall caught many people’s attention.

Those who had been keeping an eye on this spot noticed that not only were there many civilian items, but there were also specially set-up military goods stalls.

Bayonets, telescopes, old scopes, military uniforms, combat boots, helmets, and even expired WWII cans!

These items were clearly from European battlefields, from the World War I and II periods.

There were also two specialized stalls in this market, selling firearms from the Middle Ages to the World War II period—flintlock gun, flintlock rifle, bolt-action rifle, submachine gun.

There were no bullets, but the guns were in good condition and quickly attracted the attention of interested parties.

However, these guns required a gun license to purchase, so many could only look on with a sense of longing.

Two other stalls hugely attracted a large number of women.

One stall displayed a variety of antique jewelry ranging from several hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars.

The other stall displayed gemstones of various sizes, with the left side showing simply cut stones and the right holding raw gemstone rough!

The prices were very reasonable, which instantly generated a strong buying desire among many women.

By noon, the marketplace was bustling and extremely crowded.

However, despite the chaos, the order was well-maintained.

Of course, this was thanks to the patrolling team members who had ousted about ten individuals attempting to cause trouble, giving them a beating before handcuffing and taking them away.

After that, no one dared to make any more trouble.

As dusk approached, Sean Knight arrived with the cargo ship, bringing the second batch of items back to the island.

Of course, "transporting" naturally meant moving items from his spatial realm into the cargo ship.

At Manus Island Port, all Sean Knight needed to do was to reassign the crew on the ship, then load the items, making it seem as if they were brought in by someone.

Of course, this could easily cause misunderstandings, but Sean Knight didn’t mind. Maintaining a certain level of mystique was both his consistent style and image; the team members were not surprised, and at most, they speculated whether their boss, Sean Knight, might have another unknown hidden force.

After several cargo ships worth of items were brought over, Lana Brown was astonished!

"I never thought, in these few years, you would find so many items!"

Although each item didn’t look very expensive, worth at most a few tens of thousands, many were worth just a few hundred or thousand.

But the quantity was the issue!

Just think, the basic count of various golden and silver coins was in the tens or even hundreds of thousands!

With these items laid out at the stalls, wouldn’t they sell for a year or even longer?
