Chapter 147: Storytelling

Xu Zhao waved her hand. She just happened to have read the story of Princess Luanyu in a book. As for other factors, she had traveled to the Moon Kingdom for such a long time that she had some understanding of the four countries. That was why she could see the flaw in the bronze mirror at a glance.

If it were any other dynasty, she would probably be helpless.

"You know what? I estimate that bronze mirror should have been manufactured last week. It should have cost at least fifty yuan. I can make a hundred times the profit by just telling a story. This is a sure-win business!"

[Xu Zhao, I advise you to stop thinking about this. Regardless of whether you can tell a story or not, this idea is very cruel! 】

[It turns out that storytelling is a common tactic used by businesses. Last time I went to a cattery to buy a cat, the store owner told me the story of the cat’s parents. After listening to it, I felt that this kitten was worth the money! Now it seems that I was cheated! 】

[Thanks to Xu Zhao for helping us, Brother Qiao was saved from being cheated! 】

[It seems that this antique street is really murky, but I have a question. Is there any professional who can analyze whether what Xu Zhao just said is true or false? 】

[I am a junior archaeology student and I can testify here that everything she said is true! 】

[To be honest, Xu Zhao is the smartest person I have ever met in the entertainment industry. 】

Following heated discussions among netizens, several hot searches such as #许昭藏拙#, #５万一个铜镜#, and #乔知静被骗骗# climbed into the top 15 of Weibo’s hot search list.

Qiao Zhijing can be said to be a top star in recent years. In addition, Xu Zhao stole the spotlight in yesterday's live broadcast. The two of them climbed the list together, which attracted a large number of passers-by to enter the live broadcast room to find out what was going on.

At the same time, there was also some discussion online about the items and prices in the antique street.

Some people say that the antique streets are basically full of fakes, and that it is a way for counterfeiters to make huge profits. Others say that things here are real and fake, and that if you buy fakes here, it is just a matter of willingness to pay. If you buy authentic items, you will become rich overnight. It is just a matter of personal choice.

Qiao Zhijing didn't know that there was an uproar on the Internet because of the two of them, but he survived the disaster. Even though he couldn't come up with 50,000 yuan now, he couldn't deny that he was moved after listening to the stall owner's story.

"The stall owner knows that this bronze mirror is fake. Even if you can't afford 50,000, he will sell it cheaply and cheat you out of your remaining 500."

After all, it is a fake product with a finished product price of only fifty yuan. As long as the price is higher than the cost, the boss will pretend to sell it at a loss. At that time, the buyer may even think that he has made a profit, not knowing that he has already become a sucker in the eyes of the boss.

There are so many tricks in the city!

Xu Zhao pursed his lips and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Fortunately, I made an appointment with you before I went out today, otherwise you would have been snatched away as the military advisor by Qian Shuo."

"Brother Qiao, stop." Xu Zhaoke didn't dare to be a military advisor to Qiao Zhijing. She slowly said, "Brother Qiao, this time I was just lucky and it happened to be within my knowledge, but our country has a long and profound history. I can let you help once, but I can't guarantee that the second and third times will be within my knowledge."

Now it's being broadcast live, in front of a national audience, there might be many authoritative experts among them. Xu Zhao doesn't dare to say anything casually, she doesn't want to be cyber-bullied because of this kind of thing.

"Don't worry, as long as you understand, just tell me. If you are really cheated in the end, it's not your fault. We can only blame those who make fake cultural relics for their advanced technology. Besides, the director team paid for it, so we don't feel bad if we buy fake ones. We can just think of it as spending money to buy a small ornament we like."

Qiao Zhijing knew what Xu Zhao was worried about, but since he was already here, he naturally wanted to experience the fun of visiting the antique street.

True and false is the meaning of this street's existence.

What's more, they dared to sell a fake bronze mirror for 50,000 yuan. The things on this street, whether real or fake, are probably not cheap. Five hundred yuan can't even buy a fake. The director team certainly doesn't expect them to buy the real thing.

"Let's go, let's go." After the first experience, Qiao Zhijing became interested. He hurriedly urged Xu Zhao to go to the next store, "This time, let's find a stall with more people!"

After visiting several small stalls, Xu Zhao didn't like any of them. Fortunately, the time given for this task was very long, so they didn't need to rush.

On the contrary, Qiao Zhijing had heard many versions of the story along the way. After hearing so many stories, when he encountered a similar story, he could even draw inferences from it and say what the stall owner said, directly leaving the stall owner speechless.

Xu Zhao, on the contrary, was rather taciturn along the way. She didn't dare to talk nonsense about things that were not in her professional field. At most, she would talk about some things she had learned in high school history.

This antique street is very long, with many branches extending out. There are many vendors squatting in each branch, and even at noon, it is still bustling.

The two of them walked along and reached the middle of the antique street.

Qiao Zhijing still looked very interested, and no one knew what had aroused his interest.

"Zhao Zhao, I feel like if you give me a cultural relic now, I can also exaggerate it to the sky, and add a seemingly perfect story to it, I can definitely sell it for a good price!"

Xu Zhao: “…”

Is it possible that people who come to this street are basically people with some skills, and those who don't are probably just here to take a look, but it is absolutely impossible for them to buy.

The vendor's story may fool a layman, but if you meet someone who knows the business, it's probably useless.

[It’s over. I feel like Brother Qiao is getting more and more cruel. 】

[Don't worry, Brother Qiao is a good middle-aged man and will never do anything illegal. 】

[Along the way, Brother Qiao listened to the stories in front of every vendor so seriously that I almost thought he was going to join this business. 】

[Xu Zhao should have graduated from high school many years ago. There are many knowledge points that even a senior high school student cannot remember so clearly. She remembers them too clearly. 】

[Our Zhao Zhao is a top student, so this is no big deal for her. 】

"Brother Qiao, they are willing to tell you stories. Do you think it is possible that it is because you are a stranger?" Xu Zhao said bluntly, "And they may think that we don't understand these things at all, so they are willing to tell us stories to deceive us. If it were someone who knows more, I am afraid the vendor would use another trick."

Qiao Zhijing was originally quite interested, but after Xu Zhao finished speaking, he immediately stopped talking, "What you said makes a lot of sense."

Xu Zhao: “!!!”

Looking at his dejected look, could it be that he really has some serious thoughts?

Just as Xu Zhao was thinking about how to comfort her, he heard Qiao Zhijing's excited voice: "Zhao Zhao, let's go to that house and take a look. They have so many things!"
