Life Simulation: Start with Appreciation

Chapter 159 The First Position

Is Zhou Ce really that capable?

Obviously, it is impossible for one person to control the sharp rise and fall in the price of blue and white porcelain. There is a trading team hidden behind Zhou Ce.

On this point, Yao Kun was not confused.
With the skyrocketing rise and fall of blue-and-white porcelain vases in the Qing Dynasty and blue-and-white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, the proportion of loss-making customers has exceeded 70%.

Among them, more than 70 investors chose Zhenhua Porcelain to open an account, which belongs to section 004.

Most of them were investors from the previous ancient coin sales sector, and they were all the result of Li Hong's publicity and solicitation. Wang Baishi was quite satisfied with this.

"Ah Hong, the task you completed this time did not disappoint Master, and I will give you a commission of 1 yuan this month."

"Master, this is absolutely unacceptable. I just fulfilled my duty as a disciple." Li Hong was very humble.

"You once taught that revitalizing Zhenhua Porcelain Industry is the glorious cause of our generation."

"Oh," Wang Baishi said with a smile.

"This 1 yuan is what you deserve, take it."

While talking, he handed 1 yuan in cash to Li Hong, and told him: "This is hard-earned money, don't spend it indiscriminately, you have to save it to buy a house and marry a wife, do you understand?"

Li Hong nodded, tears kept streaming down.

The reason why Wang Baishi made such a generous move was mainly because the first position was credited today, totaling 50 yuan.

In other words, 70 investors lost about 72 yuan (72 multiplied by 70%, which is exactly equal to 50 yuan), which can be said to be ill-gotten gains.

Taking advantage of the weekend, the anxious Wang Baishi invited Xiao Ru and Xu Gang to have lunch at the farm restaurant.

Walking into the private room, the old man was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and his words didn't match what he said.

"Inspector Xu, this is the first time in my life that I have done something wrong. I am afraid I will lose sleep for a long time."

Xu Gang stroked his hair, smacked his lips and said, "Boss Wang, let's think about the problem differently. You regard yourself as a spy of the Economic Investigation Bureau. Your task is to attract investors as much as possible. You don't need to pay attention to whether you lose money or not." .”

"As for the position, it's just a form of cooperation between you and Wenyuan Group."

Wang Baishi's eyes turned left and right, as if he could comprehend the truth, but he still couldn't pass the moral barrier in his heart.

Xiao Ru chuckled: "Boss Wang, don't think too much, you are not a traitor"

"Oh, by the way, I have to remind you that the money earned from eating positions must be kept safe and must not be spent indiscriminately."

"In the end, a lot of points will definitely be returned to the victims."

"This, this, you are old and confused." Wang Baishi said in embarrassment.

"Just this morning, I took out 1 yuan as a commission and gave it to Li Hong."

Xiao Ru hummed and laughed twice: "This is easy."

"He's your beloved apprentice, and you treat it as a reward for his work."

The three laughed, and the reluctance on Wang Baishi's face was indescribable.
"There is one thing that I want to share with the two detectives, it may be helpful to handle the case."

Then, Wang Baishi speculated about the basic situation of members 001 to 003: "As far as I know, member 001 is actually the Yamato Coin Store. Recently, I discovered that a group of strangers sneak into the store every day, and every time They all left empty-handed."

"It's likely they were doing a cash transaction."

"Stop." Xiao Ru continued to ask: "If it's a cash transaction, they should bring the cash, it's impossible to leave empty-handed, right?"

Wang Baishi explained: "Because they are afraid of attracting the attention of outsiders, they carry the cash with them every time they make a transaction, which cannot be seen with the naked eye."

"You continue to analyze." Xu Gang said.

Wang Baishi took a deep breath and said, "Members 002 and 003 are probably just like the old man, and they also specialize in taking positions."

"It's just that they are more covert and professional."

Xiao Ru thinks there is some truth, which is completely consistent with the three market makers mentioned by Yamamoto Ryoichi.

Members 002 and 003 are likely to have the shadow of Zhang Bihui
"In any case, our enemies are already on the move, and they must be working very hard to take advantage of their positions."

"We have to pay close attention to every tiny detail. The people of Cherry Blossom have always been impeccable in their work."

After lunch, Xu Gang and Xiao Ru continued to walk to Yang Guang's antique shop.

Xiao Ru wanted to test him with the word position.

Walking into Lao Yang's Antique Pavilion, Yang Guang was much more polite than before. He knew that people in the government office were not easy to mess with, and he might suffer a lot.

Seeing the two entering the door, he smiled and said, "Two detectives, please sit in the back room."

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Ru scanned the whole room.

"It's all Chinese paintings. How is Boss Yang's business?"

Yang Guang smacked his lips and said helplessly: "There are so few people around, almost no one cares."

"This business is too difficult to mix."

Xiao Ru smiled: "Why don't you take this batch of Chinese paintings to the exchange for speculation?"

"Let the capital operate, and the business will be easy."

Yang Guang shook his head: "I have seen the trading model of blue and white porcelain, maybe it is not suitable for Chinese painting, blue and white porcelain are all in the middle price of tens of thousands of yuan, my Chinese paintings are basically scarce national treasures, the price is more than one million, investors may not Buy it."

Immediately he picked up "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in China" and asked, "Do you know the price of this painting?"

Xu Gang blinked his eyes and guessed: "No matter how you say it, it will cost one or two million."

Yang Guang hummed and laughed twice, then raised his thumb: "1000 million."

Then he looked at "A Picture of Rising the River during the Qingming Festival in China" and said, "This one is worth 5000 million yuan."

Xiao Ru was stunned. It seemed that it was completely unfeasible to use these traditional Chinese paintings to make market-making transactions.

He asked, "Boss Yang, why don't you find a side job?"

"Oh?" Yang Guang's eyes lit up.

"Please tell the inspector, the old man is really confused."

Xiao Ru described the model of Zhenhua Porcelain Store. On the surface, Yang Guang listened with gusto, but in fact, he knew about taking positions.

Hastily declined: "Sir, this is immoral."

"Zhang Bihui must have told you." Xiao Ru said.

Yang Guang knew that he had slipped his mouth, but he could not retract it, so he had to tell the truth.

"Bosses, when Zhang Bihui left, he said that he wanted to make a lot of money with foreigners, but he might be a bit wicked."

"I asked him, how to make a lot of money?"

"He said that you can eat other people's losses exclusively, which are all legal losses and are protected by law, not illegal wealth at all."

"The old man refused repeatedly, and he left with a sigh."

Xu Gang smirked for a while: "Boss Yang, this is your fault. You deliberately concealed us from us the first two times. This is an act of hindering the government's handling of the case."

Yang Guang was very anxious and apologized repeatedly.

"Sir, everything I know has been revealed, and I will report to the two officers whenever there is any movement of Zhang Bihui in the future, and I will never neglect it."

Xiao Ru chuckled and then asked: "Has anyone ever talked to you about the listing of traditional Chinese paintings?"

"No." Yang Guang shook his head and said.

"It's impossible to use traditional Chinese painting to earn money. This old man vows to protect the dignity of traditional Chinese painting."

"It is impossible for Chinese paintings to harm innocent people."

After listening, the two left quietly.

"Old Xu, it seems we have come to the right place. Zhang Bihui will definitely look for Yang Guang again. Their people have already become suspicious of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in China" and "Along the River During the Qingming Festival in China".

Xu Gang snorted and smiled: "The ambitions of the Sakura people are very big."
