Chapter 3070: Fair Proposal

At this time, Zhang Ermao's little brother in the shop was also completely confused.

He couldn't help but think: "Before I came, Brother Ermao had already bottomed out with me. I am here to deceive people. I have to turn something from the late Qing Dynasty or the early Republic of China into the Ming Dynasty, and then sell it to the guy in front of me at a high price. Now this guy says it is from the Song Dynasty. What does this mean? The questions are out of scope, my dad! Why didn't the homework prepared before coming be tested? It feels like going to take the subject one exam for a driver's license, but all the questions are for a chef... I can't do these questions either..."

Xiao Changkun said at this time, "I am getting more and more unable to figure out what this bastard is thinking. Is he really willing to spend 250,000?"

Zhang Ermao smacked his lips and said, "Maybe this guy is fishing. Think about it, what if we agree, don't we have to leave him contact information?"

"What if he deceives us later, saying that this thing sold for one million, and let us come to take the remaining five hundred thousand? Do we come or not?"

"If we come, what if he really calls the police? We took his 250,000, the Buddha statue evidence is still with him, and then we go to throw ourselves into the net. This... isn't this hitting the muzzle of the gun?"

Xiao Changkun felt uncomfortable listening, his facial features were twisted into a ball, and he smacked his lips, "Didn't you say the police don't care much?"

Zhang Ermao said, "Yes, generally they don't care much, and according to our industry rules, if we are really fooled, we don't call the police. Everyone suffers a dumb loss, so as not to ruin their reputation and smash their rice bowl. Antique collectors receiving fake antiques is shameful in itself. If the industry knows, how can they mix in the future? Who would call the police..."

After speaking, he pointed to Zhou Liangyun on the screen and cursed, "But we can't stand someone who doesn't play cards according to the routine!"

When he said this, Zhang Ermao was a bit excited, and said, "President Xiao, you don't know, in this day and age, there are really many people with pits in their brains. A few days ago, a childhood friend of mine went to prostitute, clearly added a clock but was unwilling to pay the extra fee. That lady was unrelenting and grabbed his pants belt and wouldn't let him go. He even called the police and said the other party was blackmailing. As a result, both of them were detained;"

"Last week, a brother who sold fake Maotai was deceived. People said they sold him a batch of original bottle and original box punched Maotai. As a result, after the goods arrived, he found that most of them were not original bottles and original boxes. He was angry and called the police. The police didn't catch the upstream who sold him fake goods, but easily ended his warehouse. Now he is still inside, the lawyer said he can't get out on bail, and he will definitely be sentenced to actual prison. You say you black eat black and meet such people, what can you do?"

Xiao Changkun asked again, "Then what should we do? Let people withdraw?"

Zhang Ermao smacked his lips, "If he deliberately wants to pit us, we can't take this 250,000. There is no need to provoke a stubborn person for this 250,000. But if he is really blind and thinks the thing Teacher Cheng made is from the Northern Song Dynasty, then we still have a chance to get more from him."

Xiao Changkun asked, "How to get more?"

Zhang Ermao picked up his mobile phone and typed another line of words.

A moment later, the little brother's mobile phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, then put it back in place, and said to Zhou Liangyun, "Boss, I really can't wait. If I wait any longer, this thing won't be mine. I don't care if it's from the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, or the Tang Dynasty. I just want to sell it today, just 500,000! If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, I'll change to another shop!"

Xiao Changkun and Zhang Ermao in the car had their hearts raised to their throats.

In their view, whether Zhou Liangyun was playing them or really blind, it depended on how he answered.

If Zhou Liangyun insisted on joining the shares together, he definitely had no good intentions;

But if Zhou Liangyun accepted the price reduction and really bought it, it would be a false alarm. Although there was a slight deviation in the process, the final result was still within the plan. As long as the little brother doesn't meet Zhou Liangyun in the future, there will be no trouble.

At this time, Zhou Liangyun looked at the little brother and said, "Oh, 500,000, I really can't take out so much. I just told you that there is nothing in my shop. I have to fill in a lot of money to tidy up the place where I live upstairs. And I took this from someone else with a little rent. I have to pay the landlord in a while. If I really take out 400,000, everything will be affected."

The man subconsciously said, "Didn't you say this thing is from the Northern Song Dynasty and worth tens of millions? You can just sell it after turning it around!"

Zhou Liangyun sighed, "Things worth tens of millions are not so easy to sell. My small shop, people don't believe it when I say I sell things worth tens of millions. Even if I find an auction house, I have to wait for their next auction to start, and there are cumbersome appraisal processes. If I misread this thing, it will basically be smashed in my hands;"

"Even if I am lucky and this thing is really from the Northern Song Dynasty, I have to wait for the auction house to appraise it, put it on the auction, and successfully trade it before I can receive the money. It will take at least a few months, so various risks are still very large."

Zhang Ermao touched the half-inch-long beard on his chin and muttered, "Damn, did we think Zhou was too smart? He really thinks this thing is from the Northern Song Dynasty."

Xiao Changkun hurriedly 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!"
