Chapter 378: Are there any other porcelain pieces?

Chen Sanping didn't even look at the porcelain brought by Mu Qiu nian before asserting that they were fakes. However, no one among the others present would verify it, and everyone would believe his words.

Just because Chen Sanping's status in the antique circle was far higher than Mu Qiu nian's now, his words naturally had more authority.

Among those who came to attend the auction this time, there were those who understood the trade, and they naturally knew the grudge between Chen Sanping and Mu Qiu nian. They couldn't afford to offend Chen Sanping for the sake of a down-and-out Mu Qiu nian.

The authenticity of the porcelain was naturally unimportant, and they wouldn't spend the effort to verify it. As for those who didn't understand, they would naturally believe it deeply because of Chen Sanping's authority in the circle.

Li Wancai had just obtained the precious Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain from Chen Sanping, so he would naturally stand on Chen Sanping's side at this time, so he also kept a straight face and said with certainty: "Mu Qiu nian, stop pestering me. I saw long ago that your porcelain pieces had problems, so I made an excuse that I had already traded with Boss Chen first, just to save you some face."

"But now that you don't appreciate it and still pester me, then don't blame me for not being polite. I, Li Wancai, never collect fakes. You should just send all this junk to the waste recycling station!"

Mu Qiu nian was immediately annoyed upon hearing this. He could accept Li Wancai going back on his word temporarily and not trading with him, but he couldn't tolerate the other party colluding with Chen Sanping to slander the porcelain he had on hand as fakes.

"Boss Li, you clearly inspected the porcelain I had on hand before, and they were all genuine. How can you now..."

"I was blind before!" Li Wancai said nonsense without changing his face: "Only after Boss Chen's reminder did I realize that you are so insidious, actually using fakes to pass for genuine to fool me. I shouldn't have sympathized with you and agreed to trade with you before!"

"Boss Li, you cannot slander people!"

Mu Qiu nian saw that the people whispering around him were getting more and more numerous, and his face was getting uglier and uglier.

Everyone present today was from the antique circle. If the news that the batch of porcelain he had on hand was fakes spread, it would be even more impossible to sell them within two days.

"Chen Sanping!" He looked at the culprit and clenched his fists very angrily: "What exactly do you want to let me go?"

"Boss Mu, what do you mean by this? I don't understand," Chen Sanping said pretentiously: "Like you, a profiteer who sells fakes, you shouldn't stay in the antique circle at all. I said, as long as I, Chen Sanping, am here, I will not condone people like you to deceive consumers!"

Looking at Chen Sanping's righteous and black-and-white-reversing appearance, Mu Qiu nian only felt blood surging, wishing he could smash a fist onto that triumphant face.

"Boss Chen, how can you slander our manager like this? The person who sells fakes is clearly..."

The young clerk who followed Mu Qiu nian couldn't stand it and wanted to reason with Chen Sanping, but was stopped by Mu Qiu nian: "That's enough, let's go."

Even if they exposed Chen Sanping's actions in front of everyone now, people wouldn't believe them.

"Manager, we are about to pay the rent. If these porcelain pieces of ours can't be sold, we will be driven out by the landlord!" The young clerk was indignant: "They are forcing us to a dead end!"

Bai Lu, who was standing beside Xu Tian, looked at the direction of Mu Qiunian and the young clerk, sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "This Chen Sanping is narrow-minded and vengeful. Mu Qiunian must have offended him before, otherwise, there are so many shops selling fakes in the antique circle, why does Chen Sanping keep holding onto Tiancheng Antiques?"

"Even asserting that they are all fakes without carefully inspecting the porcelain Mu Qiu nian brought. Mr. Xu, we'd better..."

Because that set of precious Song dynasty porcelain had already been bought by Li Wancai, Bai Lu was just about to suggest that Xu Tian go to other shops on the antique street to wander around, perhaps he could pick up a bargain and find some treasures with good quality.

As a result, before she could persuade him, Xu Tian was the first to get up and walk toward Mu Qiu nian's direction.

Bai Lu opened her mouth, looking at Xu Tian's back with some confusion. It was clear that she didn't understand what Xu Tian was going to do.

However, at this time, Xu Tian had already arrived behind Mu Qiu nian and said to the person who was about to lift the box and leave: "You are Manager Mu, right?"

Mu Qiu nian stopped his movements and turned around slowly. Seeing that the person standing in front of him was a young man with excellent appearance and temperament, his eyes couldn't help but darken again.

Not to mention that Chen Sanping had just publicized that the porcelain he brought was fakes, even without the other party's slander, the young man in front of him didn't look like someone who could afford porcelain worth millions.

However, out of politeness, he still nodded at Xu Tian indifferently and asked: "I am Mu Qiu nian. Sir, what is the matter?"

"Manager Mu, I want to buy the porcelain you have on hand," Xu Tian said straightforwardly.

Mu Qiu nian was slightly startled upon hearing this and asked subconsciously: "What did you say? You want to buy the porcelain I have on hand?"

"That's right," Xu Tian nodded.

This time it was Mu Qiu nian's turn to be surprised. Now everyone in the shop thought that the porcelain he had on hand was fakes. Didn't this young man hear Chen Sanping's words just now? Then why did he want to buy some fakes back?

Or was this person just a tourist who came to Pawa for sightseeing, didn't want to invest in antiques at all, and just held a curious attitude, wanting to buy something cheap to take back as a souvenir for others?

"Sir, these porcelain pieces of mine aren't cheap..." Mu Qiu nian hesitated for a moment and said: "Any one of them is over a hundred thousand."

Others treated his porcelain as fakes, but he couldn't really sell these treasures he had worked so hard to collect at the price of fakes.

"I know. Don't worry, I won't owe you money. If I choose any, I will pay immediately."

"Then you look slowly."

Since Xu Tian had said so, Mu Qiu nian naturally wouldn't push it anymore. Anyway, for him now, being able to sell one is one. If it really doesn't work, he would negotiate with the landlord to see if he could pay the remaining rent in installments.

Xu Tian came to the large wooden box, squatted down, and carefully looked at the porcelain wrapped in shock-absorbing foam and soft silk inside, taking out one from time to time to examine it seriously.

However, after he had looked at all the porcelain, he finally had to admit that he couldn't see which porcelain was the priceless treasure at all.

The reason he wanted to buy the porcelain in Mu Qiu nian's hands was because he remembered such an event happening at the same time in his previous life.

Chen Sanping bought a batch of porcelain from Mu Qiu nian for hundreds of thousands of yuan. Such a price was far lower than the price Mu Qiu nian collected the porcelain for, but he needed money urgently to pay the severance pay for the clerks in the shop, so he had no choice but to agree.

Later, a priceless antique in this batch of porcelain was auctioned for a high price of two hundred million by Chen Sanping at a private auction, which shocked the entire antique circle for a time.

After Mu Qiu nian learned of this news, he suffered a great blow. Coupled with the closure of the shop and the huge debts he owed, he suffered from depression and spent the rest of his life in a nursing home.

In the antique circle, there are many such examples of people who lose everything and lose their minds. The serious ones even have people committing suicide every year. Mu Qiu nian's ending was still considered good among those people, at least he saved his life.

However, because he was framed by Chen Sanping, he lost the career he was most proud of, which was even more serious than taking his life directly.

And while Mu Qiu nian was suffering from mental pain every day, Chen Sanping became famous in the antique circle again because of that precious porcelain.

Many overseas merchants came to him to buy antiques, and even the invitation letters for the private auctions he held could be sold for over a hundred thousand each.

A few years later, the chairman of the Y Country Antique Association retired, and Chen Sanping logically succeeded to the position of chairman, thus starting his dominance in the Y Country antique circle.

Xu Tian wanted to buy the porcelain in Mu Qiu nian's hands precisely because he knew of the existence of this treasure.

But there were more than a dozen pieces of porcelain in this box. He had only heard of this news that shocked the entire antique circle in his previous life, but he hadn't seen that treasure with his own eyes, so he couldn't pick out which one was the treasure that was auctioned for two hundred million from this box of porcelain at all.

Finally, Xu Tian put down the last piece of porcelain in his hand, coughed lightly, stood up slowly, and looked at Mu Qiu nian: "Manager Mu, does your shop have any other porcelain recently?" ===== CHAPTER 379 =====
