Full-time King

Chapter 2264 The Chilling Truth (Part )

Old Yan looked at Ling Feng and said, "My friend, if you want real good jade, I know a good place that definitely has good jade..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a crisp sound.

Ling Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Master Li arguing with someone. There was a broken porcelain bottle under his feet. There were three or four customers standing nearby, also gathered inside.

Lao Yan gave Ling Feng an apologetic look and immediately walked over: "What happened?"

Something happened in the store, and as the shopkeeper, he naturally had to step in to resolve it.

Of course Ling Feng followed him, although with Master Li's skills, it was unlikely that he would suffer any obvious loss.

The shop assistants and customers were talking at once, and Ling Feng soon understood what was said.

It turned out that Master Li was looking at some porcelain carefully. Coincidentally, the waiter took out a valuable piece of porcelain at the request of other customers.

Uncle Li was delighted to see the prey and rushed over before the customer to take a look.

Unfortunately, this clerk seemed to have just been hired, and he didn't give Uncle Li, the shopkeeper's friend, any face. He stepped aside to prevent Uncle Li from taking the porcelain, and said, "The shopkeeper said that when doing business, we must follow the principle of first come, first served."

As he turned sideways, the porcelain vase, which was about 40 centimeters in weight, slipped from his hand and shattered into pieces with a loud crash.

The young man spoke confidently, pushing all the responsibility onto Uncle Li.

To be fair, Uncle Li is indeed responsible for the boy's mistake, but Uncle Li did not touch the thing after all, so if you really want to count it, you can't blame him.

But Uncle Li was a kind-hearted man. He didn’t see the porcelain and got into trouble. He just sat there unhappy.

After hearing this, Lao Yan was a little dumbfounded: "Hey, hey, Lao Li, what can I say? We are old friends, this..."

The customer next to him interrupted: "I saw it clearly just now. If the old man hadn't been in a hurry, the boy would definitely not have slipped." The meaning of his words could not be more obvious.

Ling Feng's eyes flashed coldly, and he realized something was wrong: "Sir, I didn't seem to see you when I came to the store just now?"

"I just came and saw this scene. Why don't you say something fair? If this guy asks for compensation, even if we sell him, we won't be able to earn enough money to buy this porcelain." The customer glanced at Ling Feng and spoke with a sense of justice. Other customers also nodded.

"Old Yan, there's no need to say anything. I will compensate you for the price of this porcelain." Uncle Li suddenly stood up and said expressionlessly.

"Old Li, this... this porcelain is priced at 1.58 million, so I'll just go with the cost price, 1 million. I'm going to fire this guy right away! What a fool! My old friend is here and wants to see the porcelain, why are you stopping him?"

The young man was timid and didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal. On the contrary, he felt a little relieved.

"One million, okay. What a pity for such a good thing." Uncle Li looked at the porcelain pieces on the ground with some heartache, his eyes full of regret.

"How about, Lao Li, I ask someone to repair these porcelain pieces and send them to you?"

Lao Yan asked tentatively.

Uncle Li shook his head and said, "No, the value will be greatly reduced after the repair. Old Yan caused you to lose so much money this time, and the repair can also account for part of the price. You know, my martial arts hall just caught fire. Although the funds are not tight, I am not sure how much operating funds I have, otherwise I will definitely compensate you at the original price."

Ling Feng felt a little relieved. It was okay. His uncle wasn't too stupid. He could still be saved.

"Hey, that's all it can do."

The old man sighed heavily, took out his gloves carefully, and put the porcelain pieces together one by one.

After quickly collecting the porcelain pieces, he looked at Ling Feng apologetically and said, "My dear friend, I need to repair the porcelain pieces. After they are repaired, they can probably be sold for more than 300,000 yuan. I'm afraid I don't have time to go buy jade with you today."

Ling Feng said sincerely: "You go first, my business is not urgent. Uncle, let's go back."

Uncle Li thought for a moment, then said, "Then we'll go back first... Well, this guy didn't do it on purpose, so don't fire him. After all, he's right. There's a first come, first served rule in business. I was reckless this time."

After saying this, Ling Feng took out the credit card Li Hu gave him, swiped the card to pay the bill, and then left.

About a few dozen meters away from Huibao Pavilion, Ling Feng stopped and felt that no one was following them.

"Uncle Master, let's go back and take a look."

Ling Feng sighed, feeling sorry for his uncle.

"Huh? What are you looking at?" Uncle Li looked at Ling Feng in confusion.

"Uncle, I think there's something wrong here, or maybe it's that Old Yan and the young man are both wrong. They might be scamming people! Xiao Linlin, can daddy take you to the roof?"

The messy doubts in Ling Feng's mind kept crossing each other, and he became more and more certain of his judgment.

"You mean, Old Yan is setting up a trap to deceive me? That's impossible. I have known Old Yan for five years, and he is not that kind of person!" Uncle Li said in a firm tone, with a hint of displeasure in his voice.

"Uncle Master, I know a lot about jade. The value of this piece of jade is about 250,000 yuan, but your friend said it was the cost price..."

Ling Feng took out the mutton-fat jade he had just bought.

"That doesn't mean anything. Such a big store needs to maintain some expenses, which are not small. Besides, it's inevitable that you won't make money if you open a store. Besides, in the antique business, there's a saying that if you don't open for three years, you can make three years of profit after you open it."

Uncle Li said stubbornly.

"Well, the ancient jade thing doesn't prove anything, but I also have a certain understanding of porcelain. The porcelain just now was a porcelain vase from a folk kiln in the Qing Dynasty, a fine product among folk kilns, and its value is about 100,000... If you still don't believe it, we might as well go up to their roof and listen to what they have to say. I think this is the time when they are relaxed and complacent. If there is a problem, it will definitely be exposed. Anyway, this matter is not difficult for us."

"Young Master, is everything you said true?"

Uncle Li's voice was a little dry. He just couldn't believe that the friend he had always been with would plot against him like this.

"What's fake can't be real, and what's real can't be fake. Let's listen, and we'll know everything right away." Ling Feng felt a little sympathetic towards Uncle Li. With Uncle Li's personality, if he could make a friend, he would often treat him with all his heart, but he got such a result.
