"Don't worry, we're sure to find more valuable antiques than this set of Song dynasty porcelain."

Xu Tian raised his hand to look at his watch, then picked up the cold tea next to him, and drank it unhurriedly, it seemed that he didn't intend to leave for a while.

The little guy who received them before asked with some contempt: "What's the matter with you? Didn't you hear my boss say that you are not welcome? You don't buy anything, just sit here and drink tea, really think we are here. Tea house?"

"Which eye of yours sees that we don't buy anything?" The astrologer couldn't help but choked, "Can't we choose slowly?"

"All right, all right, you can choose slowly."

Li Wancai pretended to be a good boy when he got a bargain, and said to the little guy in the store, "Xiao Wu, just let them sit, it won't affect your business anyway, maybe they still want to wait for the private auction in the afternoon What treasure can be found at the auction that is comparable to a whole set of Song Dynasty porcelain!"

Although he said so, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He had read the catalog of the auction a long time ago. Although some jade calligraphy and paintings on it were considered treasures, their value could not compare with this set of Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain in his hand.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly walked in from the door. This person was wearing a set of shabby casual clothes, the cuffs were frayed, and the pair of leather shoes on his feet seemed to have not been maintained for a long time.

This person was accompanied by a young man who looked like a follower, and the two of them worked together to lift a large wooden box half the height of a person.

After the down-and-out man entered, he and the boy next to him carefully placed the wooden box on the ground, and then looked around impatiently, as if looking for someone, until he saw Li Wancai with a smug expression, his expression relaxed a little Some.

"Boss Li, I brought the batch of goods in my hands according to your instructions. Come over and check it out. If there is no problem, we will trade directly. Do you think you are transferring money or writing a check?"

Without waiting for Li Wancai to speak, Chen Sanping looked at the down-and-out man with disdain, and said in a strange way: "Today the sun came out from the west, and the Tiancheng antique shopkeeper Mu who has always disdained to be with me, Mr. Chen, even came to the door on his own initiative." ?”

The down-and-out man known as shopkeeper Mu heard the sarcasm in Chen Sanping's tone, suppressed his unhappiness and did not attack, but turned his head to look at Li Wancai who was aside: "Boss Li, I have brought all the goods you want, you come here Take a look!"

Li Wancai walked up to the down-and-out man unhurriedly, looked down at the big wooden box next to him, and said in a very displeased tone: "I originally wanted to take back these rags and low prices in your hands." , but I just spent a lot of money to buy the Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain from Boss Chen's hands, and I don't have the funds to buy your products now."

"Just these broken pots with poor workmanship will cost me several million, why don't you grab them?"

Li Wancai knew that Chen Sanping and shopkeeper Mu were not dealing with each other, so he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "Boss Chen, I didn't like what he had in his hand, but you planned to leave the previous set of porcelain vases to the Tang family. I couldn’t find any suitable porcelain to communicate with the boss in Sakura Country.”

"And this guy came to me every now and then to cry and pretend to be pitiful. I ordered his goods because of a soft heart... In fact, the rags in his hands are of no value to me..."

The desolate man's expression became even uglier when he heard this, and he immediately heard from Li Wancai's words that the other party had a better choice, and he didn't plan to buy the batch of porcelain in his hands.

Chen Sanping gave the down-and-out man a disdainful look, and then said to Li Wancai in a somewhat mocking tone: "Boss Li, this is your fault, Mu Qiunian's reputation in our industry is so bad, don't worry about it." I said you know it too, do you dare to ask for his antiques?". VII

Li Wancai explained with a smile: "Of course I know, but he said he would sell it to me at the cost price he received. In addition, I have some kinship with his two ancestors. Seeing that his shop is about to close down, it is really pitiful. That's why I plan to spend a few million to collect his pile of junk, and it's considered a good deed."

The smile on Chen Sanping's face was even more disdainful when he heard the words: "Boss Li, you are kind-hearted, but there are many counterfeit goods in his hands. But it’s a real loss of several million.”

At this time, some people who came to participate in the auction had arrived one after another. When they heard what Chen Sanping said, they all looked curiously at the down-and-out man and the big wooden box beside him, and some even whispered.

"What does this person do? Boss Chen said that many of his products are fakes. Is it true?"

"Of course, haven't you even heard of Mu Qiunian, the owner of Tiancheng Antiques? Let me tell you, this is a black shop, designed to trap laymen!"

"Tiancheng Antiques was considered a big shop in the past, and it could even compete with Linglongzhai in its heyday. It's a pity that the shopkeeper, Mu Qiunian, has a wicked mind and often accepts some fakes to fool the rich businessmen who just entered the business who don't understand anything, so as to make money. Take huge profits."

"Later, it was Boss Chen who couldn't stand it anymore and exposed his crimes, which caused the reputation of Tiancheng Antiques to plummet. If Boss Chen hadn't spoken out righteously, I'm afraid many people would still be deceived."

You must know that the reputation in the antique circle is very important. If a store is labeled as selling fakes, even if all of his stores are genuine later, it will be viewed with colored glasses by colleagues and buyers.

After all, most of these antiques are priceless, and the cheap ones cost 10,000+. No one would waste money to teach themselves a lesson.

Therefore, after Tiancheng Antiques was exposed as a fake, the business gradually declined, and it even reached the point where it was about to close down because it could not make ends meet.

But after Xu Tian heard the words Tiancheng Antiques and Mu Qiunian, he calmly raised his head and glanced at the down-and-out man not far away.

Mu Qiunian's face became more and more ugly when he heard the confusing words of the people around him.

Li Wancai's expression of giving himself alms is completely different from what he had negotiated before. The reason why the other party promised to buy the porcelain in his hands was because the price he offered was almost [-]% lower than the market price.

Moreover, he can also ensure that his batch of ceramics are authentic, but most of these porcelains are from the late Qing Dynasty, but even if they are not as precious as the blue and white porcelains of the Song Dynasty, they are more expensive because they are well preserved. Hundreds of thousands.

Li Wancai had no reason to refuse the double profit after changing hands, so he readily agreed.

Mu Qiunian's poor business in the past few years is all thanks to Chen Sanping. Originally, the size of his shop was comparable to that of Linglongzhai. He bought experts to rectify the name of his high-quality imitations, and even spread rumors that Tiancheng Antique Store specializes in selling fakes to wealthy businessmen who don't know how to do it.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, the rumors spread one after another, coupled with Chen Sanping's influence, gradually made his colleagues shy away from him.

In addition, Chen Sanping spared no effort to promote his shop in negative ways, so that even wealthy businessmen who didn't know how to do it gradually heard the rumors of Tiancheng antiques selling fakes.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, these people will definitely choose to avoid his shop when buying antiques. Therefore, except for a few old customers who have cooperated with him for more than ten years and still trust him, Tiancheng Antiques has hardly opened. open.

But such a large store cannot be supported by only three or two old customers.

This time, he used all his savings to collect more than a dozen pieces of porcelain from a man from Ximeng. He wanted to take advantage of the public auction to sell these antiques at a good price.

However, the two public auctions this year were canceled for some reason. As for the private auction held by Chen Sanping, it was impossible to send him an invitation letter.

Therefore, when Mu Qiunian was desperate, he found Li Wancai, who was rich and powerful, and hoped that the other party could buy the batch of porcelain in his hands to tide him over.

As a result, Li Wancai clearly agreed with him to let him come to him with porcelain, but he temporarily broke the contract before the deal.

The rent of his shop will be due the day after tomorrow. If there is no money to pay, the landlord will send someone to close the shop.

Seeing Li Wancai and Chen Sanping singing together, Mu Qiunian felt despair.

And at this moment, Chen Sanping said loudly again: "Mu Qiunian, I didn't expect you to still be unrepentant and use such inferior fakes to deceive Boss Li. I am so disappointed in you!"
