Chapter: 6324

Chen Yu Fei countered him, "If your family's old master has already left a will, leaving the item to your older brother, you quietly took it out - that's theft! This item becomes stolen goods, do you think I dare to take it?"

The man immediately said, "Our family's old master has many items, this is just one of them. Moreover, my older brother doesn't understand antiques and doesn't know about this item or its value. And if this item were publicly sold, I wouldn't be able to get away with selling it for fifty thousand. You're familiar with people who are willing to pay one hundred thousand or more for it - you could make a huge profit!"

After saying that, he looked sheepish and said, "I've told you everything clearly, so I won't bother arguing anymore. I'll reduce the price by ten thousand and sell it to you for forty thousand. If you can't take it, I'll find someone else."

Chen Yu Fei sneered at him, saying, "Oh, brother, your acting skills are quite good, but you've chosen the wrong person! You think I'm Chen 某人 (someone), who could become the manager of the Ji Qing Tang and not see through your tricks?"

The man's expression flashed with a hint of panic before he quickly said, "What tricks? I'm genuinely selling this item - if you want it, take it. If you don't want it, give it back to me. What's there to hide?"

Chen Yu Fei laughed condescendingly and said, "This Buddha statue is indeed good, with excellent craftsmanship and shape. However, the shell looks like it was artificially aged. In my opinion, this item may not be a modern artifact, but its age is unlikely to be too old - it's probably from the late Qing dynasty or early Republic of China."

"But one thing is for sure - this base is indeed an antique from the Ming dynasty's proclamation period. Unfortunately, it's just a base without the main statue, so it's not worth much money - maybe a few thousand at most. You're trying to sell me this item for fifty thousand, making it look like you're dumping a big loss on me - aren't you taking me for a fool?"

The man was immediately flustered and quickly said, "This...this...how did you figure it out?"

"Ha!" Chen Yu Fei said with a smile. "I've been fighting and struggling in this industry for so many years. If I couldn't see through your little tricks, then all these years would be wasted."

As he said that, he tossed the thing back to the other person and coldly spoke: "Brother, you're still too young to try to swindle me. Go back and practice for a few more years before trying again!"

The other person took the thing, nervously and fearfully saying: "Sorry, boss, I'm sorry. I had my eyes closed and didn't recognize the towering mountain in front of you. Please don't treat me like one of those people who eats with their mouth open..."

Chen Yu Fei disgustingly waved his hand: "Alright, take your thing and scram."

"Uh-oh!" The other person hastily stuffed the thing into his pocket and turned around to run away without even looking back.

Chen Yu Fei backed up against the mirror, with a face full of hidden joy, thinking: "Damn it, I guess this is what it feels like to rely on technique to bluff. Although I know it's all just an act, but it still feels pretty good!"

As he thought about this, he put on his acting persona and looked in the direction where the other person was running away, laughing coldly: "There hasn't been a more clever antique swindler than me, Chen Yu Fei, under heaven!"

He then directly closed the VIP room door and returned to the main hall.

That person escaped from the Jiyue Hall and brought the thing with him as he wandered around the antiques street.

At this moment, Zhou Liangyun was just about to close his shop and prepare to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, intending to return to his second-floor residence. The other person also happened to sneak up to his storefront door, looked up and saw Zhou Liangyun, and their eyes met. He lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Boss, do you collect things here?"

True difficulty ah!

In the antiques shop, any item that can't be seen by light always likes to come out only at night to trade.

It's especially true for those who sell antiques in shops.

Generally speaking, the things brought out at night are mostly newly dug up from the ground or stolen/obtained from others. Of course, there are also those who specialize in selling fake goods to deceive people. JrNovels.com
