Chapter: 6334
The shop owners on the street have their own exclusive group, where they frequently communicate with each other;
those who work here also have a group exclusively for workers in the industry;
in such a place, as soon as something juicy comes out, there will be a crowd of people forwarding it to multiple groups at lightning speed, and the message spreads like light speed.
As a result, under the operation of people with hearts, just minutes after the antique street began to wind down for the night, it suddenly became lively again!
Some businesses were swindled out of thirty thousand yuan!
The shop owner is none other than the former general manager of Jiyin Hall, Zhou Liangyuan!
A part of the crowd whispered among themselves: "When will Zhou Liangyuan return?"
Another group burst into laughter: "Even someone who used to be the general manager of Jiyin Hall can get scammed like this! What a joke!"
Some people sighed: "Zhou Liangyuan was swindled out of thirty thousand yuan, and after that, how will he still stand his ground on antique street? And besides, antique street has not seen such a big counterfeit case in a long time!"
Many groups on WeChat are now asking the same question: "How did Zhou Liangyuan get scammed?"
The rumors spread quickly, and people started mocking Zhou Liangyuan: "He's really gotten too big for his britches!"
Someone said, "Zhou Liangyuan just opened up a shop on Antique Street and wanted to buy a million-yuan treasure. How is that possible? If it were true, wouldn't everyone get rich?"
Someone else chimed in, "That's right! A genuine Ming dynasty bronze Buddha would at least be worth 100,000-200,000 yuan. How could he buy one for 30,000 yuan? He thinks he's some kind of Beijing big shot!"
Another person said, "The antique industry today is completely different from the old days. Even if you were a Beijing big shot, it would still be hard to find good deals."
One person immediately piped up, "You're right! Back in those days, there was limited information and resources, and ordinary people didn't know how valuable their ancestors' treasures were. Dealers could buy ancient ceramics for extremely low prices, even top-tier pieces like Qing dynasty porcelain or Yuan dynasty blue-and-white ceramics;"
"I'm not exaggerating," he continued, "even the old ladies in the surrounding villages who fed their dogs with broken bowls had some Ming-era blue-and-white ceramics. If you had a big aluminum pot and traded it for one of those bowls, she would definitely run off with it, afraid that you might change your mind. And the things you could trade for in today's market auction... oh boy! I wish I were born in that era, then I'd have made my fortune and opened up a museum!"
"Many people immediately praised: 'Ah, Manager Chen has hit the nail on the head!' 'That's right, Manager Chen! He really understands!' 'It looks like Song Miss gave up on Zhou Liang and let Manager Chen take over Jieqing Hall. Manager Chen is so much better than Zhou Liang, I don't know how many levels above him!'"
"Manager Chen saw everyone praising him and immediately got excited, laughing and saying: 'You're all too generous to me. I'll share my personal insights with you all. After all, in this industry, anyone who understands the situation knows that it's very difficult to buy good things at low prices since entering the information age; therefore, many people have already started to change their minds.'"
"'So, people start to create their own loopholes for others to find, and then the treasures of the Qing dynasty, such as jade seals, imperial wine, and imperial brushes, are all born from this. All those fools who dream of getting rich quickly are being tricked!'"
"Somebody immediately chimed in: 'Hey, Manager Chen says it so well! There will always be people like that in this world. I encountered someone like that last week. He bought a jade seal for 1,880 yuan and thought it was too expensive. He turned around and spent 20,000 yuan on a Qing dynasty jade seal. What kind of nonsense is that? It's not worth more than 200 yuan with shipping fees!'"
"A used car dealer can sell a fake Ferrari for a brand new price, but he cannot use a fake Ferrari's price to buy a real one. So, we must have an awareness when opening a shop on Antique Street: that it's very difficult to find rare items in this industry! Moreover, we need to remember that not only are we unable to find rare items, but we also have to be cautious of being tricked by others! There will always be people trying to package up accident cars, fake cars, and dead souls into a package to sell to car dealers. And there will always be people thinking of selling fake goods to us by changing their faces. Zhang Liang's business has come, and he is eager to set up an 500% profit-making project without being cheated!"
"Everyone in the group raised their thumbs in approval, praising him."
"Manager Chen saw that the timing was almost ripe, so he quickly said in the group: 'Ah! When talking about Zhang Liang's case, the first one who sold fake goods came to our shop. I even touched his bronze Buddha statue, but that person was exposed by me, and I directly kicked him out. Little did I think that after I left, he went to Director Zhou's place.'"
"After finishing speaking, Manager Chen sighed and continued: 'Little did I think that this old senior like Director Zhou would fall for such a scammer... it's really a pity...’"
"Many people in the group asked in surprise: 'What?! Really?! Did fake goods sellers come to your shop?'" JrNovels.com
