Chapter 3073: Always Hunting Geese, Only to Have One's Eyes Pecked by a Goose

Chen Yufei had long since edited the monitoring video and was waiting for Zhang Ermao's good news.

He had watched the video himself several times, and the more he watched, the more he admired himself in the video for his sharp eyes in identifying fakes. He felt that his performance was truly outstanding, completely like a master, and all the details were explained clearly, with no flaws to be found.

Hearing Zhang Ermao say that Zhou Liangyun had really missed it on that copper Buddha, he was so excited that he couldn't be more excited.

Originally, everything was ready, only the east wind was missing, and now, the east wind had come.

So, he immediately called all the clerks he trusted to his front, and said to them with excitement: "Brothers, hurry up and promote it! Zhou Liangyun missed it! Spent 300,000 to buy a fake Xuande-year copper Buddha!"

The clerks didn't know the tricks inside, they just heard Chen Yufei talk about someone coming to sell a fake copper Buddha just now, being seen through by him and driven away. Now they heard Zhou Liangyun bought a fake copper Buddha, so someone asked: "Manager, Zhou Liangyun didn't buy the copper Buddha that the person brought to deceive you just now, did he?"

Chen Yufei nodded and smiled: "That's right! It was him who bought it, spent 300,000! Although our antique street has people being deceived every day, it has been a while since anyone has been deceived for such a large amount, right?"

"That's..." A clerk smiled and said: "Antique business has not been easy to do in the past two years. Those who want to pick up leaks are not willing to spend money. Before, they said an item could sell for ten million, and they could deceive a big fool into spending a million or eight hundred thousand. Now most people hope to spend a hundred or eighty yuan to buy something worth tens of millions. The swindlers' days are not easy either."

After speaking, the man asked suspiciously: "Based on my impression of Zhou Liangyun, he shouldn't be so stupid, right? 300,000, and let people deceive him in such a short while?"

Chen Yufei smiled: "Oh, this is what people often say, always hunting geese, only to have one's eyes pecked by a goose. Zhou Liangyun just returned to the Jin Ling antique street, definitely thinking about making a deal, picking up a big leak in the antique street, and becoming a hit. If he thinks this way, it is easier to be deceived."

A clerk smiled obscenely and asked: "Manager, this matter shouldn't have been arranged by you, right?"

Chen Yufei hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, I warn you not to talk nonsense! Although I really want him to get out, I haven't thought of a countermeasure yet. This matter of him missing it has nothing to do with me."

The clerk realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly apologized: "Yes, yes, it was me talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Among the merchants in the antique street, through countless WeChat groups, a complex gossip intelligence network was formed.

First of all, every shop has its own WeChat group, from the manager to the cleaner, basically all in this group, which is convenient for work arrangement and information transmission;

And managers and business personnel, managers and financial personnel also have their own small groups.

And the entire antique street's practitioners also have a large group, with at least hundreds of people chatting and blowing water inside;

The bosses on the street have a special group, often communicating with each other;

The losers working here also have a group of practitioners who are all working boys;

In such a place, as long as any gossip is sent out, a bunch of people will immediately forward it to a bunch of groups, and the speed of message spreading is comparable to the speed of light.

So, under the operation of a group of people with intentions, just after a few minutes, this antique street, which had already begun to rest with the night, suddenly boiled!

A merchant was deceived out of 300,000!

The boss was Zhou Liangyun, the former general manager of Jiqing Hall!

Some people thought to themselves: "When did Zhou Liangyun return?"

Another part of the people watched the joke: "He was once the general manager of Jiqing Hall, and he could also miss it. It's really a joke!"

Many people also sighed: "Zhou Liangyun missed it and threw away 300,000. How can he stand in the antique street in the future? Moreover, the antique street hasn't had such a large amount of fake goods transaction cases for a long time!"

In many WeChat groups, various merchants, shop assistants, and stall vendors began to ask a question: "How exactly was Zhou Liangyun deceived?"

Chen Yufei didn't release the video immediately at this time, but found others to spread the news in various groups, claiming that Zhou Liangyun bought a fake Ming Dynasty Xuande-year copper Buddha, thinking he had picked up a big leak, but didn't expect to step into a big pit.

As soon as this news came out, every group began to ridicule Zhou Liangyun, feeling that this person was really too arrogant.

Someone said: "Zhou Liangyun just returned to the antique street to open a shop, and wanted to pick up a million-level big leak. How is it possible? If there was such a good thing, wouldn't everyone get rich? What kind of daydream is he doing?"

Someone echoed: "That is! If it was a genuine Ming Dynasty Xuande-year copper Buddha, it would be worth at least one or two million. How could it be bought for 300,000? Does he think he is Master Ma from Yan Jing?"

Another person said: "Nowadays, the antique industry is no longer as easy to make money as when the famous Master Ma from Yan Jing just debuted! Even if Master Ma himself comes out, it is very difficult to pick up a big leak."

One person immediately said: "Yes, that's right. In Master Ma's era, information was blocked and materials were scarce. Ordinary people held good things passed down from their ancestors but didn't know it. Antique collectors only needed to carry some cash and food stamps to walk the streets and alleys, and they could get Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain, or even top-level blue and white from the Yuan Dynasty, at a very low cost;"

"I'm not exaggerating, in the villages around Yan Jing in those years, the plates used by old ladies to feed dogs even had many Yuan blue and white. If you exchanged them with a large aluminum pot in that era, she would definitely hug the pot and run, fearing you would regret it. And the things you exchanged back with a large aluminum pot, if you put them in an auction today, they might be able to shoot for 100 million! It's a pity, I wasn't born in that era, otherwise I would have made a fortune and opened a museum long ago!"

Chen Yufei sent a voice message at this time, echoing: "Yes! Old Liu is right! Our antique industry is different now. It has entered the information age twenty or thirty years ago. In the information age, everyone can check some relevant information. How can good things be sold cheaply? Manager Zhou is also too reckless, shouldn't be!"

As he spoke, he added, "In today's society, I've seen through it. Everyone harbors a dream of getting rich overnight. When you're eyeing whether someone else has a buried family heirloom and thinking about buying it at a low price, they've actually seen so many stories of people getting rich overnight that they've already dug up their ancestors' graves eight times over and searched three feet underground for treasures."

"In this case, let alone you want to buy his good things at a low price, he also wants to buy other people's good things at a low price. Otherwise, who are the 8,800 Chuan Guo Jade Seals sold to on TV shopping? Aren't they all sold to these fools who dream?"

Many people immediately praised:

"Manager Chen hits the nail on the head!"

"It still has to be Manager Chen! A truly clear-headed person!"

"It seems that Miss Song driving Zhou Liangyun away and letting Manager Chen take over Jiqing Hall is the most correct choice! Manager Chen's level is much higher than Zhou Liangyun!"

Chen Yufei saw that everyone was flattering him, and immediately became interested, smiling and saying: "You are too flattering to me. I am also sharing a little personal insight with everyone. Actually, everyone who knows a little bit about our industry knows that after entering the information age, it is very, very difficult to pick up leaks by thinking about buying good things at a low price;"

"So now many people with ulterior motives have begun to change their thinking. Since I can't pick up other people's leaks, then I will simply create some leaks for others to pick up;"

"So, Chuan Guo Jade Seals, Qianlong's imperial wine, Kangxi's imperial brush, Shunzhi's wooden fish, have emerged one after another, all deceiving those fools who harbor dreams of getting rich overnight!"

Someone immediately echoed: "Oh, Manager Chen said it well! In this world, there is never a shortage of such fools. I met such a fool last week. The jade I entered for 1,800 in my shop, I sold it for 4,000, and he thought it was expensive. He turned around and spent 20,000 to buy a Chuan Guo Jade Seal made of marble. That dog-like thing doesn't even need 200 yuan including postage!"

Another person said: "Manager Chen, chat with us for a few more words, say more words of advice, let us learn more, and be more vigilant and defensive!"

Chen Yufei laughed: "Everyone, in the current environment, the antique industry has long been as transparent as second-hand cars in the upstream. No matter how cunning or pit-like second-hand car dealers are, it is very difficult to pit the seller when collecting cars. Most of them can only pit the next family when selling cars;"

"So, we open shops in the antique street, first of all, we must have a consciousness, that is, it is very difficult for the entire antique industry to pick up leaks! And we must remember, now not only can we not pick up leaks, but we must also worry about being set up everywhere! There are always people who want to package accident cars, flooded cars, odometer-adjusted cars, and cars with soul rings that have died, and sell them to car dealers. There are also always people who want to change the appearance of various fake goods and sell them to us. Zhou Liangyun came and thought about engaging in a project with a profit margin of 500%, not being pitted to death is strange!"

Everyone sent thumbs-up expressions in the group, praising him.

Chen Yufei saw that the timing was almost ripe, and hurriedly said in the group: "Oh! Speaking of Zhou Liangyun being deceived, the one who sold fake goods came to our shop first. I have handled that copper Buddha, but the person was seen through by me, and I drove him away. I didn't expect that after leaving me, he went to Manager Zhou's place."

After speaking, Chen Yufei sighed and continued: "I didn't expect that an old senior like Manager Zhou would stumble on such a swindler, it's really a pity..."

Many people in the group asked: "Damn! Really?! Manager Chen, did the one selling fake goods come to your place?"

"Yes!" Chen Yufei hurriedly said: "I will find the monitoring video. I received him in the VIP room at that time. There should be monitoring footage. I will find it and send it out. Everyone remember the swindler's face, and be more defensive in the future!"

Everyone heard this, naturally impatient. After all, eating melons and eating monitoring videos is really eating in a Michelin restaurant!

So, everyone urged him to upload the video quickly.

Chen Yufei actually had downloaded that video to his mobile phone long ago, but he still deliberately delayed for a few minutes, then sent the video to the group, and while the video was still sending, he said to everyone: "Everyone, the video has been sent out, everyone should receive it soon, but everyone remember, this video is just for us to see as a negative teaching material internally, don't spread it out!" ===== CHAPTER 3074 =====

Chen Yufei had actually downloaded that video to his phone long ago, but he still deliberately delayed for a few minutes before sending the video to the group. While the video was still sending, he said to everyone, "Everyone, I've sent the video. You should all receive it soon. But remember, just treat this video as a negative example for our internal viewing; absolutely do not spread it outside!"
