00:00The man discovered by chance that a vase at a street stall emitted a strange glow.

00:04Driven by curiosity, he immediately stopped to take a closer look.

00:07After bargaining a bit with the vendor, he ended up buying the vase for $300.

00:11But as soon as he walked a few steps away, the stall owner let out a mocking laugh

00:15and pulled out another vase from under the box, identical to the one he had just sold.

00:19Meanwhile, the man excitedly returned to the antique store and told his colleague everything.

00:23Enthusiastically, he asked her to help verify the vase, but the woman thought he was losing his mind.

00:28Still, at his insistence, she agreed to take it to the authentication department

00:32and explained to her co-workers that the new employee had paid $300 for a vase from the street

00:36and wanted to sell it to the store.

00:37The co-workers mocked him mercilessly, saying that instead of working, he spent every day dreaming of getting rich.

00:43But at that moment, another employee noticed something strange about the vase and pulled out his tools to examine it.

00:49After a thorough inspection, he was left frozen in shock.

00:52The vase was authentic, cloisonné enamel from an ancient dynasty, valued at no less than $3 million.

00:57The news left everyone speechless.

01:00What no one knew was that a few days earlier, while cleaning the warehouse,

01:03the man had accidentally broken a piece of golden enamel wood.

01:06Suddenly, a ray of golden light entered his eye, and from that moment on,

01:10he had developed the ability to sense the true value of antique objects.

01:14With $3 million in his pocket, his colleague quickly asked him to take her treasure hunting too,

01:18so they returned to the same stall.

01:19There, they saw a vase identical to the previous one.

01:21To avoid raising suspicion, the man lied, saying that the first vase he bought had a defect,

01:26and he wanted a symmetrical one.

01:28The vendor smiled, satisfied, and once again sold it for $300.

01:32His colleague, full of doubts, asked if it was also authentic, and the man assured her it was.

01:37They checked many other stalls, but found nothing else.

01:39Just as they were leaving, the man noticed a strange green glow coming from some forgotten paintings in the corner.

01:44When he approached, he only saw cheap, poorly done artworks, but remembering what had happened before,

01:49he decided to take a chance.

01:50With a casual attitude, he asked the vendor how much they cost.

01:53The vendor claimed they were authentic masterpieces,

01:56but the man pretended he just wanted them to decorate his house, and asked him not to lie.

01:59Seeing that his trick wasn't working, the vendor said he'd sell them for $200 each.

02:03The man insisted that it was too expensive, and they finally agreed on $500 for all three.

02:08His colleague looked at him, puzzled, and couldn't help but ask again.

02:11But the man wasn't so sure this time,

02:13so they returned together to the shop to analyze the paintings.

02:16His co-workers were surprised to see him again.

02:18He explained that he wanted to examine one of the paintings,

02:20but they would have to remove the surface layer.

02:22The team began working carefully,

02:24and as the fake paint was stripped away,

02:27what appeared underneath made everyone's eyes widen in amazement.
