Antique Dealer

Chapter 69

Fang Hao didn't see the five pieces of jade that Wang Youzi bought, so he couldn't be sure that he was cheated, so he asked: "Brother Wang, after talking for a long time, you still haven't said, what's the name of that person, maybe I can ask Somebody investigate."

Wang Youzi said, "His name is Liu Manxing. I wonder if you recognize him?"

Fang Hao was a little speechless. After a long time, it turned out to be this guy. The world is really small enough.Everyone must have remembered that Liu Manxing was the owner of the antique shop who sang with Wu Hongchang back then.

Noticing Fang Hao's expression, Wang Youzi quickly asked, "Do you know him?"

"Why don't you know me?" Fang Hao recounted what happened back then.

Wang Youzi said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that he is such a person! It seems that he really knows people, knows his face, but doesn't know his heart!"

Su Qihu reminded from the side: "I suggest you, let Fang Hao appraise all the things you buy from him."

"Then shall we go to my house now?"

Wang Youzi couldn't wait as soon as he heard it, and brought Fang Hao and Su Qihu to his treasure room.

The treasure room is not small and well-equipped, all of which are equipped according to museum standards. The money spent on the equipment alone is in the millions.

Wang Youzi introduced: "Most of the collections I have here are purchased at major auctions at home and abroad. I also know that some auctions will be tricky. After the auction, I will ask the big guys in the industry to appraise it. Very few have it. The problematic ones have already been dealt with by me. The remaining small part, except for some sold to me by Liu Manxing, has also been appraised by others."

While looking at Wang Youzi's collection, Su Qihu said, "Brother Wang, I didn't say that, you trust Liu Manxing too much, don't you?"

Wang Youzi smiled wryly and said: "Sometimes I am really easy to trust people, and some friends have persuaded me to change it, but the old saying is good, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. I grew up to 42 years old, and I have always been This kind of personality can't be changed, besides, will it still be me if I change it?"

Su Qihu shook his head with a smile: "Then you also have to learn a lot of wisdom."

"I will try my best."

Wang Youzi scratched his bright bald head, and then said to Fang Hao who was visiting the collection: "All the things he sold to me are here."

As he spoke, he walked to a glass cabinet and took out a few collections inside.

The first is a piece of salami porcelain, which has no obvious inclusions on the outside, but the corrosion of seawater left traces on the surface of the porcelain, making the surface of the porcelain appear matte, and there are corrosion plaques, which appear natural and should be genuine.

This piece of porcelain from the sea is the one in the story Wang Youzi told earlier. He was a little relieved to know that it was a real piece. However, Fang Hao then told him that this piece of porcelain was just a piece of civilian It's just a kiln, and the market price is between [-] and [-], which is not considered a high-quality product.

Afterwards, Wang Youzi saw that Fang Hao picked out the collection one by one, and only one of the five pieces of jade was left, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Is there a problem with all of these?" Wang Youzi pointed to the selected collection, feeling very uncomfortable.

Fang Hao nodded, and then pointed out the above question.

Wang Youzi was silent for a while, and then sighed, "Okay, these things only cost hundreds of thousands, and it's not a loss if you can recognize a person with such a small amount of money."

Su Qihu was speechless when he heard this: "I said, Brother Wang, you are out of your mind, you have been cheated by someone, so don't settle accounts with him!"

Wang Youzi was quite helpless: "Ask my brother, can I return the goods if I bought something wrong in the antique business? If I want to return the goods, he can also say, since the things are wrong, why didn't he force me to buy them when I bought them in the first place! , I’ve bought everything for so long,”

"Then forget it?" Su Qihu frowned.

"Forget it, it's impossible. The monk can't escape the temple if he runs away. He has the guts to give me a chance!"

Wang Youzi sneered a few times, and changed the topic: "Brother Fang, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Please ask friends in the industry to help me investigate. Is there anything wrong with him?"

"Row."

Fang Hao nodded. He didn't like Liu Manxing's behavior in the first place, but now that he learned that he deliberately deceived Wang Youzi, he hated him even more.

After a while, Su Qihu's sea yellow pen holder was also brought over. In fact, after seeing Fang Hao's performance, Wang Youzi had already believed in Fang Hao's judgment, but with the comparison of the pen holder, he could also improve his eyesight. At the same time, Fang Hao's eyesight became more convinced.

Fang Hao glanced at the system panel, and the number of people in the task has increased by two, reaching 20, and the task can be settled. However, he still lacks some money and cannot convert this temporary task into a long-term task. Settlement tasks.

Some friends may find it strange that the number of missions has suddenly increased from 13 to 18. In fact, it is very simple. The 5 people added are Grandma Li’s family.Moreover, the number of 4 people increased at noon today. Fang Hao guessed that they sold those three items, and after comparing them, he was convinced of his vision.

After sitting with Wang Youzi for a while, Fang Hao and Su Qihu went back to the next door.

Su Qihu said with emotion while walking: "Tell me, people nowadays can devise any kind of scam for money. If it were me, I would probably be cheated too!"

Fang Hao said: "This kind of thing is really hard to guard against, but this kind of deception has existed since ancient times."

Su Qihu said in surprise, "No way."

"They're all greedy liars, and of course they weren't any better before than they are now."

Fang Hao said: "Let me give you an example. During the period of the Republic of China, newspapers recorded a scam. Someone bought six bags of noodles in Mizhuang. As soon as he got home, two guys came and told him that two bags of noodles were Fake, the owner of Mizhuang felt sorry for him, so he sent them over to carry the noodles back first, and then bring the new ones.

This person was blindfolded for a while, so he asked them to carry the noodles away. Of course, no one brought the noodles back afterwards, so he went to Mizhuang to ask, only to find out that he had been cheated.Think about it carefully, is Liu Manxing using a variant of this kind of deception? "

After hearing this story, Su Qihu said with a smile: "This person is also stupid. He didn't know to ask the people from Mizhuang to carry the changed noodles first."

Fang Hao said: "This is when the bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused, and then there is a fluke mentality. For example, someone bought a painting by Zheng Banqiao for 2 yuan. Looking forward to it, the other party sold it out."

"What you said is indeed true..."

When the two returned to the villa, everyone had already cleaned up the grill and garbage. Zhou Mei was still curious about the results of the collection Wang Youzi bought from Liu Manxing. Su Qihu also satisfied everyone's curiosity.

Knowing that Wang Youzi was cheated out of hundreds of thousands, Zhou Mei and the others couldn't believe it. At the same time, they all said that they should learn from Wang Youzi's lesson and don't be fooled like this.
