Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

Just two or three days later, Xu Damao told Zhou Dong that his goods had arrived.

"Why is this so fast?" Zhou Dong asked.

"Of course it's fast. Isn't this an urgent investment? If it were slow, how could it be possible?" Xu Damao retorted.

"Where is the goods? Let's go and take a look?" Zhou Dong asked.

Xu Damao said it was at their house.

Zhou Dong then followed Xu Damao to their home.

At this time, when Xu Damao opened the goods, he found that they were many famous calligraphy and paintings.

"Where did you get these calligraphy and paintings? Can you guarantee that they are authentic? Because it is very easy to buy fakes of these things." Zhou Dong said.

"Of course these are real. If they were fake, I would definitely not buy them," said Xu Damao.

"Really? If that's the case, I want to tell you, how do you guarantee that these calligraphy and paintings are authentic? Can you tell me?"

After hearing what Zhou Dong said, Xu Damao said that there were many certificates on these calligraphy and paintings. Could it be that these certificates were also fake?

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Zhou Dong stopped talking.

So Zhou Dong bought a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and then started selling them on the street.

At this time, a young man came over and saw Zhou Dong selling calligraphy and paintings at this place. He said that the things he sold were terrible, so he asked, are they real or fake?

"I'm telling you, these big ones of mine are real. How could they be fake? If they are fake, I can compensate you."

"Really? But if these calligraphy and paintings are real, I want to ask, if they are all real celebrity calligraphy and paintings, why are they so cheap? Can you explain it to me?"

"This is easy to explain, because we order these celebrity paintings and calligraphy directly from them, so they are very cheap. Otherwise, the prices would definitely not be so cheap. Which one do you like?" Zhou Dong asked.

The other party then picked one of them and took it away.

Just after Zhou Dong finished serving this customer, another older customer came over.

"Young man, why are your paintings so cheap? They don't look real to me. They must be fake, right?"

"Uncle, you really can't talk like that. Although my calligraphy and paintings are relatively cheap, they are absolutely genuine because they are directly received from our customers. They cannot be fake. Why are they so cheap? Because we want more. I think you can understand this."

"I'm telling you that some of your words may be true, because there are so many of them, but most of them are probably false. Why do I say that? Because look at this person named Xu Beihong. How could you possibly receive his horse from him? Xu Beihong is no longer with us."

After hearing what the old man said, Zhou Dong said that he was not sure about it, but if it was fake, then this one was the only one that was fake. He could choose not to buy this one and look at other ones.

"Young people, if your digital methods are fake, you should sell them at a very low price. Although the current price is not very expensive, I want you to sell them at a lower price. Do you agree?"

"I also want to sell these calligraphy and paintings at a lower price, but you may not know that some of these calligraphy and paintings are purchased at a purchase price, and they are not painted by me. If I change them myself, I can sell them at a lower price."

After Zhou Dong finished saying this, he remained silent.

"It's like this, young man. If you got these calligraphy and paintings from somewhere, I advise you to return them immediately. Because I have checked most of them, and I find that most of them are fake. I don't know if you can believe me. If you don't believe what I said, you can find someone who is famous in this field to take a look. Then I believe you will believe it."

After Zhou Dong talked with the older man for a while, he thought about what Xu Damao said. He just said that the words he painted were real, but now many people say that his calligraphy and paintings are fake.

If these calligraphy and paintings are fake, what does this mean? Does it mean that Xu Damao might have been deceived?

"Okay, okay, thank you so much."

After Zhou Dong finished saying these words, he felt that he should go find Xu Damao after get off work and report to him what he had just heard.

"I said, Brother Xu Damao, are you at home now? I came to see you for something. Today I took the calligraphy we brought in to the street to see if anyone liked it. As a result, many people came. Some of them said that these calligraphy and paintings are really good, but some people said that many of these calligraphy and paintings are probably fake. So I want to ask you now, are these calligraphy and paintings real or fake?"

"Brother, why don't you believe what I said? Of course these words are true. If they were false, how could I give them to you? The people in my class were all because of those false things, and our relationship was not harmonious for a while. Today, why don't you still believe in your brother? If you really don't believe it, then I don't know what to say to you now, but I still think you should believe me."

"It's not that I don't believe you. The key is that you see so many people coming here. They all say that these calligraphy and paintings are real. What do you think I should do? Because I don't know much about these calligraphy and paintings, so I just listen to them. Now that some of them are saying fake things, I think you should give me a better discount, because I think this is really not an easy thing to do."
