Chapter 56

: Being fooled

Zhou Xuan saw that although Liu Yufang was scolding Zhang Jian, he had a smile on his face, and he really beat, kissed, and loved him!

Zhang Jian kissed the child proudly and said loudly: "That's why I, Boss Zhang, is charming. You didn't see it. When I returned to the village with glory, I came to my house and said that the matchmaker could line up from my main hall to the entrance of the village."

Liu Yufang cursed, "Shameless!" Then she said, "I don't know why I was obsessed with it at the beginning and followed him as soon as I dizzy. Zhou Xuan, you sit down first, I will coax the child to bed and cook!"

"What food should you cook? Take the child and wait and set up a table. Brothers who have been together for so many years will meet and go out to have something good!" Zhang Jian said as he handed the child to her.

Liu Yufang took the child and smiled at Zhou Xuan, saying, "Okay, then you can talk. I will cook some ginseng milk tea for you first. I specially bought it for the boss to nourish the body."

Zhou Xuan was happy to see Zhang Jian and Liu Yufang getting along, and he was surprised to meet Zhang Jian. He was even more surprised to see Zhang Jian and Liu Yufang. Now Liu Yufang has a white and pretty face. Compared to her previous years, she has a bit more mature and beautiful appearance and a bit less girlish innocence.

Liu Yufang held the child and coaxed her to the kitchen to cook milk tea.

Zhang Jian pulled Zhou Xuan up, made a move, took him to the bedroom, dragged a cardboard box out of the corner of the wall, then turned on the light, and turned on the cardboard box again.

The outer edge of the carton was full of paper balls and foam. Zhang Jian took the paper balls and then picked up the stuff inside and took it out of the carton, and slowly and carefully placed it on the floor. Then he excitedly said to Zhou Xuan: "Look at what it is, do you recognize it? Haha, 1.18 million, I have checked it and found a way. This thing is worth more than 2.5 million. I can earn 1.3 million with just this ticket!"

Zhang Jian was excited to speak, and Zhou Xuan had already observed this thing.

This is a copper tripod about 30 cm tall. It has three feet, the bottom of the foot looks a bit like an animal's hooves, and there is a lid on the top. When the cauldron body turns, there are three dragons carved with them. The dragon-shaped pattern lines are fine and exquisite, and the three dragons' dragon heads extend out of the mouth of the tripod.

Judging from the ancient rust on the cauldron, this is a very ancient thing, but Zhou Xuan could not see it with his eyesight, so he immediately moved the ice gas.

As soon as the ice gas touched the copper tripod, Zhou Xuan's heart suddenly jumped!

This copper tripod is not an antique at all. Apart from the rust on the dew on the body, the copper tripod itself is a modern cast product, but its shape is imitated according to the ancient monuments. This is obviously done by professional counterfeiters, and the technique is very high. Those copper rusts are real guys, and they have been around for 2,300 years!

If you say that Zhou Xuan knew nothing about this industry in the past, but now he still doesn’t understand much, but after so much, he understands a lot. For example, using fake methods and high-tech means, even countless veterans can make somersaults, let alone Zhang Jian, a second-hand man!

Seeing Zhang Jian very excited, he stared at Zhou Xuan with bright eyes, his eyes flashing as if it was full of RMB.

Zhou Xuan didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Boss, I ask you, have you paid for this thing? If it is fake, can you bear it?"

"I'll bah!" Zhang Jian spat a few times and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense. Our industry is just a sign. I have asked someone to appraise this thing. Do you know about the things from the Warring States Period? Antiques for thousands of years. Besides, I have paid me a deposit of 50,000 yuan, do you know, 50,000 yuan! How many people will throw 50,000 yuan into the water to have fun?"

Zhou Xuan naturally had no doubt about his supernatural powers. It was a fact that Boss Zhang was deceived, but he didn't understand the whole story of his affairs. He frowned and asked again: "Boss, tell me how this bronze tripod came from? Who gave you another deposit?"

Zhang Jian felt that Zhou Xuan looked very strange and pretended to understand it very much, but this brother himself didn't know it. When he was wearing trousers, he was together, and even knew that there was no mole on his penis. He laughed and said, "Brother, don't pretend to be that way. You don't understand this industry anymore. I want to tell you about it. I have paid 1.18 million yuan for this bronze tripod. I must send it one by one. This number is so auspicious!"

"The afternoon before yesterday, when I was visiting Panjiayuan, two middle-aged people in the countryside looked quietly pulled me out and went to the alley where no one was outside to ask me if I wanted good things. I have been in the antique market for four or five years, and there are many people who have been hiring in the establishment of a plan, so I naturally don't trust them."

Zhang Jian thought about it and talked about buying this bronze tripod. "I originally planned to ignore them, but these two people pulled me to see what they put in their bags. It was this bronze tripod. From my perspective, it was indeed something with good color and appearance. The two people told me again that they came from Henan Township and that they had just stolen this thing from the underground. I heard that the cultural relics market in Beijing was very popular, so I thought I could sell it for a good price."

Zhang Jian slowly talked about what happened the day before yesterday. The two rural people didn't say they wanted to sell it to Zhang Jian that day, but said they were not familiar with it and were afraid of losing money. If they could find a reliable person to help sell it in these stores, they could give it a price of 20%.

Zhang Jian was moved when he heard this. Anyway, he made money by making money and didn’t have to worry about being deceived. So what can’t be done? Besides, this thing does look like a good thing!

A few people talked about the conditions in the alley. Finally, Zhang Jian took it to the store of an acquaintance and placed it to see if anyone bought it. If it was sold, Zhang Jian could get 20% of the agency fee. Finally, Zhang Jian wrote a note, one on both sides. However, Zhang Jian added the conditions, that is, if he was willing to buy it, he should buy it first.

In fact, Zhang Jian knew that such a note was useless. It was originally a private transaction. Moreover, the things of these two people were robbed from tombs, which was illegal. Naturally, they could not be exposed to the table. Writing such a note was just to make the two countrymen feel at ease. By this time, Zhang Jian had completely regarded himself as the superior standing above.

Then Zhang Jian brought this bag to the second-hand goods market in Panjiayuan. He Laosan was the one he was most familiar with. He also had a lot of business dealings with him, so he ran to him directly and put out the things in the store. He Laosan is an expert and in this business, he had to identify the new and old goods he bought at any time in the store. The instruments and tools were naturally complete. He immediately assessed Zhang Jian roughly and the result was that this was a Warring States copper tripod with a history of 2,300 years, and the value should be at least 2.5 million yuan.

Zhang Jian was so excited that he was so excited that he was working for four or five years. Except for his old copper coins that he made 200,000 yuan at once, the others were only profits of several thousand to 200,000 to 30,000 yuan. In a year, he could still spend about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in total. Of course, he was the smallest shrimp in this industry, but for the past, this kind of income and life were undoubtedly dreamy.

Send the bronze tripod to He Laosan. If someone likes him and is willing to bid for it, call him to notify him.

When Zhang Jian came out, he quickly took the two rural people to a small hotel far away from here to open a room for them to stay and wait for the news. He paid 2,000 yuan in advance, which didn't matter to him.

The next day, Zhang Jian started to stay with He Laosan. He stayed for a long time and there were many people in He Laosan's store, but no one was interested in the bronze tripod. Until around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a foreigner came. He was tall and could speak Mandarin and spoke well. As soon as he entered the store, he noticed the bronze tripod. He observed it for more than ten minutes before asking for the price. Zhang Jian boldly offered a price of three million.

The foreigner pondered for a while, and then paid back the price of 2.8 million. Zhang Jian was really surprised. He didn't even talk about the price, so he agreed. If the business was completed, he could make 560,000 without any loss. This was a condition that he had agreed to the two rural people, and he would get 20% of the selling price.

The foreigner agreed readily and then took 50,000 yuan of RMB in his bag and said that he would be a deposit, but the money he brought was not enough. He would bring the remaining money at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Zhang Jian issued him a note, indicating that if he did not come to get the goods before dark tomorrow, the agreement would be cancelled and the 50,000 yuan deposit would not be refunded. If Zhang Jian broke the contract, he would need to compensate the foreigner three times the deposit.

As soon as the foreigner left, Zhang Jian took 50,000 yuan and went directly to the hotel to find the two rural people. Along the way, Zhang Jian became thoughtful. After he arrived at the hotel, he pretended to be tugged for a while, and then said he wanted to buy it and sell it slowly, asking them how many words they wanted.

What Zhang Jian didn't expect was that the two countrymen were not careless at all, and the offer was 1.5 million. Zhang Jian was also thinking in his heart that even if it was 1.5 million, he could still make 1.3 million. This cheapness could be said to be no matter how big it was. But business is business, and we have to talk about it to the lowest point. After grinding it over and over again, both parties set the price at 1.18 million. The price is good and the numbers are auspicious, and both parties are satisfied.

Zhang Jian talked about the price and went home to raise money immediately. He had 800,000 yuan in his bank account and 210,000 yuan at home. Sometimes he needed cash in his business, so he put 200,000 yuan at home to deal with it. With the 50,000 yuan deposit from the foreigner, there were a total of 1.06 million yuan, and there was still a shortage of 120,000 yuan.

Zhang Jian took the money home and hurried to the bank to withdraw money. Originally, the large withdrawal required premature notification, but the bankers were precocious with them, and they had a lot of cash transactions and were familiar with them. As long as the bank had enough cash, they would give it to them. Zhang Jian took out the 800,000 yuan without any effort, and then borrowed 120,000 yuan from He Laosan.

He Laosan was also very happy. He simply paid him 120,000 yuan from the store and said that since he wanted to trade it, he would take the copper tripod home. After all, this thing is not from the right place and the transaction is illegal. Just pay it back after making money. If you are grateful, please treat him to a meal in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jian took the bag containing the copper cauldron, and then hurried to the hotel without stopping, handed over the silver and money in person with two rural people, and then took the note back.

That night, Zhang Jian was dreaming of money, and all the money was swaying around.

After hearing this, Zhou Xuan understood that Boss Zhang fell into the trap!

I don’t know what to say, but after talking for so long, Zhang Jian was dry and drooling. He went to the hall to drink a large cup of tea, then came into the room and asked Zhou Xuan who was pondering: “Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

"Listen to me, boss." Zhou Xuan tried hard to keep Zhang Jian from panic. He thought that Zhang Jian had bought a car and prepared to buy a house, and probably would have three to five million. This loss of one million was considered a lesson, but now it seems that it is not possible. This loss of one million will defeat the boss and return to the primitive society. And to that point, I don't know what will happen to Liu Yufang. He has also seen many things that are rich and poor together. Maybe it will be the result of divorce from his wife and children!

"Boss, I tell you that you have fallen into their trap. Although you don't believe it, in fact, in my opinion, that foreigner and two countrymen are a gang. If you know and familiar with you, if it is specifically targeted at you, I think even the antique shop owner He Laosan will be in their group!"

"Impossible!" Zhang Jian immediately took out the note and said, "This foreigner's note is still there, each person has one copy, and his phone number is also on it. Besides, this is 50,000 yuan. How many years can you save 50,000 yuan?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head, pointed at the note and said, "Boss, try this phone call. He said the transaction is today, please ask!"

Zhang Jian muttered and picked up his phone and dialed the number. After dialing it, the voice from his phone was "Sorry, the number you dialed has been shut down!" Then there was another string of English.

Zhang Jian thought he had made the wrong call, so he dialed it again at the note, but the result was still the same!

Zhang Jian was stunned for a while, and then he was a little panicked. Zhou Xuan was already worried and said, "Boss, I will accompany you to the hotel to take a look. I guess those two countrymen will never be there."

Zhang Jian didn't say anything, and quickly took the car key and went out hurriedly. Zhou Xuan followed him.

After the two arrived at the hotel, Zhang Jian asked the waiter at the front desk that the room was opened in his name. After checking, he found out that the check-out time was ten minutes after he traded with the two countrymen. Zhang Jian's face turned gloomy at that time.

If the bronze tripod was a real person, the two countrymen would never leave immediately after the transaction was completed. This is a time grabbing. Zhang Jian himself is in this industry and there are many scams. Although he still doesn't want to believe it, he is already a little desperate in his heart!

This is obviously a game set for him!
