Chapter 3069: It's Really Hard to Deal With!

In the antique business, any item that cannot see the light of day is preferred to be traded only when it is close to closing time at night.

Those who come to the shop to sell antiques are especially so.

Generally speaking, those who bring things to sell at night are mostly those just dug out of the ground, or just stolen or robbed from others. Of course, there are also those who specifically bring fake goods to deceive people.

Although Zhou Liangyun has been growing and starting a business overseas, during the time he came to Jin Ling last time, he had already figured out many unspoken rules in this circle.

Seeing that the other party was full of vigilance and seemed to be wrapped in something in his arms, he knew that the item this person brought was likely unable to see the light of day.

Actually, the way of playing in the antique industry is similar all over the world. Tomb robbing, counterfeiting, and swapping are all things that Westerners are familiar with, so Zhou Liangyun has definitely seen and eaten it.

However, he did not show his vigilance, but said with a smile, "Collect, of course collect, come, come, come, talk inside!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly invited the man into his shop.

At the same time, in the parking lot outside the antique street, Xiao Changkun and Zhang Ermao were watching the synchronized live broadcast.

However, the screen at this time was pitch black, and the sound was also very fragmented and messy, so they couldn't see anything.

Zhang Ermao explained to Xiao Changkun beside him, "President Xiao, I guess my little brother put the mobile phone in his pocket, so it's not so clear. But don't worry, wait for him to take out the mobile phone, and we can watch it normally here."

Xiao Changkun nodded repeatedly, smiling and saying, "The current scientific technology is really developed. These things are high-end equipment used by spies in movies before. I thought they were all fabricated. I didn't expect someone to actually make them."

Zhang Ermao laughed, "Oh, what is this? Looking at President Xiao, you don't go online often. Go online more, you would have seen this kind of thing a few years ago."

At the same time, the man had already been invited into the shop by Zhou Liangyun.

After he entered, he found that the shop was empty, and asked with some doubt, "Boss, are you doing business? Why is there nothing in the shop?"

Zhou Liangyun smiled, "My shop has just opened, actually it can't be considered opening, it's just that I just took it over, and I felt that it was idle, so I wrote the signboard first. After a while, the more things I collect, the more dazzling it will naturally be."

After speaking, he added, "But this doesn't affect my collection. As long as you have good things, I will definitely collect them, and the price will definitely be very fair."

Speaking of this, Zhou Liangyun looked at him and smiled, "There is no one else here, can you take out the things and let me see?"

The man nodded, sat down in front of Zhou Liangyun, then took out the copper Buddha and base from his pocket, and handed them to Zhou Liangyun together with the red silk cloth.

After handing out the copper Buddha, he also took out his mobile phone and placed it on the table.

Xiao Changkun and Zhang Ermao in the parking lot immediately saw the real-time live broadcast transmitted from Zhang Ermao's mobile phone.

The position of the mobile phone SIM card slot was facing Zhou Liangyun, and the lens also had a wide-angle effect, so Zhou Liangyun appeared in the picture.

As soon as Xiao Changkun saw Zhou Liangyun's face, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, cursed, "Damn, it's this bastard! I get angry when I see his face!"

Zhang Ermao hurriedly comforted, "President Xiao, don't get angry, it's not worth it if you get angry and hurt your body. Besides, aren't we here to take revenge on him today? Just watch, today I will definitely make him bankrupt and ruined!"

Xiao Changkun nodded, clenching his fists tightly with some excitement and nervousness, gritting his teeth and saying, "Success or failure depends on the next few dozen minutes!"

Inside Zhenbaoxuan.

Zhou Liangyun opened the copper Buddha wrapped in red silk in front of the man and in front of the camera, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared without a trace very quickly.

While playing with the copper Buddha, he asked, "Do you know the origin of this thing?"

The man said, "I know, isn't this a copper Buddha made in the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty? There is a mark on this base."

Zhou Liangyun looked at him and asked curiously, "Are you sure it is something made in the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty?"

The man thought Zhou Liangyun had discovered the clue, and hurriedly said, "Our father found an expert to look at it before. The expert said this is an open-door item, it's true at a glance! To tell you the truth, I want to sell it because our father just passed away this afternoon, and I have to grab it before my eldest brother takes inventory of the inheritance."

As he spoke, he explained the made-up story to Zhou Liangyun in more detail.

Zhou Liangyun nodded and said casually, "I don't think this thing looks like the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. The manufacturing process and shape characteristics of Ming Dynasty copper Buddhas, especially Xuande-year copper Buddhas, seem to be a bit different from this."

When the man heard this, he was a bit nervous, and his tone was a bit bottomless, saying, "How... how could it be... the expert looked at it before, it is something from the Ming Dynasty, saying that if this thing goes to an auction, it can be worth at least two million."

As he spoke, he hurriedly added, "You look at the base carefully, it is made in the Xuande year of the Great Ming Dynasty."

Zhou Liangyun smiled, "The base is indeed open-door, but this copper Buddha..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Liangyun suddenly stopped.

Xiao Changkun and Zhang Ermao, who were watching the real-time live broadcast in the car, had their hanging hearts raised to their throats.

Xiao Changkun asked tentatively, "I say Ermao... this bastard Zhou, shouldn't he have seen it?!"

Zhang Ermao was also a bit bottomless, and whispered, "This... shouldn't be... The things Teacher Cheng and the others made, let alone ordinary people, even the experts of our Jin Ling Museum, without the assistance of professional equipment and long-term careful observation, it is impossible to see any clues with the naked eye alone."

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "Ermao, although our relationship is good, one yard is one yard. You came up with this idea. If this thing can't be sold, you have to find a way to sell it for 200,000."

Zhang Ermao was cursing in his heart, but said very refreshingly, "President Xiao, don't worry, since I have promised you this matter, I will definitely manage it to the end. If Zhou doesn't buy it, I must find a buyer to buy it for 200,000. If no one buys it, I, Zhang Ermao, will pay for it myself."

Xiao Changkun felt relieved and nodded, saying, "He is not in the past, mainly because he doesn't want this bastard Zhou to escape again."

Inside Zhenbaoxuan shop.

The man saw Zhou Liangyun mention the copper Buddha and stop talking, hesitated again and again, and asked, "What did you say about this copper Buddha?"

Zhou Liangyun said, "Still the same sentence just now, I don't think it looks like something from the Ming Dynasty."

The man had cold sweat seeping from his pores. Afraid of being seen by Zhou Liangyun, he subconsciously leaned back, and then said, "Then what, you look at it carefully again."

Zhou Liangyun saw the other party's nervousness and anxiety, and also saw the fine sweat on his forehead and temples. He smiled indifferently, took out a piece of paper and handed it over, saying with a smile, "Don't be nervous, wipe your sweat first."

As soon as this was said, whether it was the little brother who was acting, or Xiao Changkun and Zhang Ermao in the car, their hearts couldn't help but thump, thinking it was over, it must have been seen.

The little brother was already stuttering, clumsily covering up, "No... I'm not nervous... I... I really have something from the Ming Dynasty, I didn't lie to you..."

Zhang Ermao couldn't help but curse at the screen in the car: "Damn waste! The more this is the time, the more you can't be nervous. Damn, what the hell are you thinking? Isn't this just being set up by Zhou?"

Xiao Changkun was also very annoyed, gritting his teeth and cursing, "Damn, didn't expect this bastard to be an old fox, damn his grandfather!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, "Forget it, Ermao, I'm going home to pack things, fly to Dubai tomorrow morning, you remember to help me deal with that copper Buddha, and transfer the money to me later."

After speaking, he pushed the door and was about to get out of the car. Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhou Liangyun's voice came from Zhang Ermao's mobile phone: "You really don't have to be nervous, I'm not saying you lied to me, I'm saying that this copper Buddha doesn't look like the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, it looks a bit like the characteristics of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"North... Northern Song?" The man was stunned, and he, who didn't learn history well, couldn't help asking, "When was the Northern Song Dynasty?"

Zhou Liangyun explained, "960 AD to 1127 AD is the Northern Song Dynasty, 1127 to 1279 AD is the Southern Song Dynasty. In my opinion, the age of your copper Buddha is at least four hundred years earlier than Xuande."

In the car.

Xiao Changkun heard this, his raised butt sat back, and then he pulled back the leg that had stepped out, surprised and asked Zhang Ermao, "Ermao, is that copper Buddha from the Northern Song Dynasty?!"

Zhang Ermao was stunned, then came back to his senses, and cursed, "Pah! This idiot, still Northern Song, why doesn't he say it's Northern Wei? Just talking nonsense."

Xiao Changkun said, "Isn't it what Zhou said? What if it's really something from the Northern Song Dynasty? Isn't this a big leak?"

Zhang Ermao asked him back, "President Xiao, you are also a veteran in the antique circle. You must have heard of many people picking up leaks, but have you heard of anyone who can pick up leaks from people selling fake goods? Teacher Cheng has become the ancestor of counterfeiting, can he not see when this thing is from?"

Xiao Changkun asked, "What if he missed it? After all, he also said that the patina of the copper Buddha had been damaged when it was collected. What if it interfered with his judgment?"

Zhang Ermao waved his hand, "Impossible, President Xiao, he can't miss it. Don't listen to his stories. In the antique industry, listen to any story, but never believe it. I used to take a Mona Lisa in the style of Chinese painting to deceive foreigners. The story was so made up that I admired myself."

After speaking, Zhang Ermao added, "Teacher Cheng said the patina of the copper Buddha was damaged when it was collected, do you really believe it? It's just his story. Didn't we also make up a story and tell Zhou Liangyun that this thing was passed down from my little brother's family? Maybe this thing was refurbished by Teacher Cheng with crafts, and then made up a story to deceive us out of 100,000 yuan."

Xiao Changkun was anxious and asked him, "Then you still let me buy it? Isn't this throwing 100,000 yuan to him in vain?"

Zhang Ermao hurriedly explained, "I mean maybe, possibly, not necessarily certain! Besides, you won't suffer if you buy it. I, Zhang Ermao, will cover you, what loss will you suffer? If there is a loss, I am the one who suffers."

Xiao Changkun hurriedly explained, "I, Xiao Changkun, am not afraid of suffering, I just don't want to be fooled. You let people fool me, and I'm not happy either."

As he spoke, he expressed his worry in his heart: "Ermao, I am not complaining about you or questioning you, I just want to say, is it possible that the thing is really from the Northern Song Dynasty?"

Zhang Ermao said firmly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

As he spoke, Zhang Ermao knew that Xiao Changkun's suspicious, indecisive personality, and his confidence that the god of luck was attached to him, had been activated by Zhou Liangyun's words, so he continued, "President Xiao, let's change the metaphor. Is it possible for you to buy a genuine Hermes in a workshop that makes fake Hermes? Moreover, this is not as outrageous as buying a genuine Hermes in a workshop that makes fake Hermes. It is equivalent to you going to a workshop that makes fake Hermes and buying a Hermes that the late Queen of Britain used and signed personally. Isn't this just bullshit?"

Xiao Changkun supported his chin and said with a solemn face, "What you said is indeed reasonable, but what is the intention of Zhou suddenly saying that this copper Buddha is from the Song Dynasty?"

Zhang Ermao shook his head, "I don't know either. I guess this bastard has already seen that we are playing him. He is definitely playing along and taking the opportunity to play with us!"

"Makes sense." Xiao Changkun nodded, "I think he is also playing with us. This dog, it's really hard to deal with!" ===== CHAPTER 3070 =====

Zhang Ermao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I reckon this bastard has already realized we're playing him. He's definitely playing along with our scheme to play us in return!"

"Makes sense." Xiao Changkun nodded and said, "I think the chances are high that he's just messing with us too. This son of a bitch is really hard to deal with!"
