Chapter 154: Buying Bloodstone, but a Sucker Comes Up? Catch It!
Gu Shengsheng was inexplicably frightened: "Are you coveting the ten cultural relics that the minister promised to give me?"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhengyi immediately denied it.
Said: "I want to go shopping with you in the market. As for Wang Yu, he wants to ask you for help."
"Help?" Gu Shengsheng looked at Director Wang Yu.
Wang Yu said helplessly: "I also begged Teacher Zhang for a long time before he agreed to help me persuade you."
"It's my wife. She's quite aggressive... You know, it's not that I'm a coward, I just love my wife."
Gu Shengsheng: "...get to the point."
"My wife asked me to help buy two high-quality bracelets from a jewelry store. I heard you made your fortune in Rui City by gambling on stones."
"In Anxi nowadays, you definitely know more about bloodstone products, but the people here are strangers to you, so your price won't make any difference. But I'm different. I'm the director of the museum here."
"Many people know me... If I go, will the price still be cheaper?"
"My wife only gave me a two million budget. If I want to buy something of good quality with two million, it's simply impossible. So, I have to ask you for this favor."
Gu Shengsheng finally understood what he meant. He was saying that his reputation in the local area was too high, so he wanted her help to bargain for a lower price.
"What bracelet do you want?"
Wang Yu then quickly took out his phone, which he had secretly taken a few days ago and showed it to Gu Shengsheng: "This is a pair of bloodstone bracelets. They are crystal clear and the color and transparency are good."
"Try to buy it for two million and give it to me. Of course, if you have the ability, you can make this trip and buy it for a small amount, and the two million will be yours. If you can't buy it, you can find a comparable substitute. It all depends on your ability."
After saying that, as if he was afraid that Gu Shengsheng would go back on his word, he immediately transferred the money in installments.
Then he specially opened a large payment and wrote a check.
Gu Shengsheng: "...Do you trust me so much? You've already given me the money before we even made the transaction."
"You're a live streamer, and you're such a great person. You make much more money than I do. I'm not afraid of this."
"I'd be grateful if you could help me."
It was just running errands, and Gu Shengsheng didn't think it was a big deal. It was normal to get some tips.
As they walked outside, Zhang Zhengyi followed them. He said, "I'm old... ahem, I'm going with you to see the world. You don't think I'm blackmailing you, do you?"
As he spoke, the old man looked pitiful and blamed the tea.
Gu Shengsheng: "...Go ahead. We are all from outside anyway."
"The store Director Wang Yu mentioned is called Jinfengxuan. It's an old store that specializes in distributing bloodstone and has branches all over the country." Gu Shengsheng said while searching on Baidu.
Zhang Zhengyi continued, "It shouldn't be easy to get the price down. There are still a lot of tourists and wealthy women here recently."
"Besides, they have both real and fake goods, so it all depends on your eyesight. Just go and ask Wang Yu for what you want. If the price is too high, don't buy it."
At worst, I can just cheat and let him figure it out on his own.
It’s not far, we can get there in a few steps while talking.
And there are stalls everywhere, selling all kinds of treasures.
Gu Shengsheng looked at the museum not far away and thought that this place was too close to the museum. No wonder Wang Yu didn’t dare to come. Everyone must be familiar with it!
After walking through the streets and alleys, he arrived at Jinfengxuan. As soon as he entered, Gu Shengsheng stared at these bloodstone bracelets and saw a bunch of pictures of them at a glance...
It is indeed difficult. There are both true and false ones. It just depends on what you choose.
It's a coincidence that I just got the bloodstone panel attributes a few days ago and I'm using it now.
Gu Shengsheng touched the 10 million bloodstone bracelet with one hand.
【system】
Item: Ganshi Bloodstone
Age: Modern handicraft, just made a month ago, exquisite workmanship, imitating the seal material of the Changshi chicken blood stone cultural relic stolen from the Daying Museum abroad, a low-grade imitation.
Market price: 150,000
Gu Shengsheng: “…”
150,000 is at most the value of the craftsmanship of the master craftsman in this jewelry store. The raw materials are not good, and a lot of chemicals have to be added to achieve its current appearance.
An ordinary bracelet priced at 10 million yuan is actually made up of technology and hard work.
This thing is even faker than the implants on internet celebrities' faces.
This boss really knows how to do business. Who can tell the real from the fake?
Gu Shengsheng had just put this down when she casually picked up a pair of exquisitely crafted small bracelets in the corner, which were delicately carved.
Compared to the one that costs 10 million, this one is more exquisite.
【system】
Item: Authentic Changshi Bloodstone Bracelet
Era: Late Qing Dynasty
Specific description: A precious gem, carved from the top materials in Chang City, exquisitely crafted, recommended for collection by the host.
Market price: 30 million.
Looking at these two bracelets, Gu Shengsheng found it interesting. This genuine Changhua chicken blood stone was priced at 150,000, but it was actually worth 30 million.
The bloodstone just now is ordinary, but it is priced at 10 million.
Wang Yu wanted the bracelet for 10 million. If it cost 10 million, it would be impossible to buy it. Even if someone asked for a price later, the price would definitely not be reduced. This bracelet has been very popular recently.
Simply negotiating with the store like this will never win the deal.
The best way is to find a sucker to buy it from, and then let the sucker know that he has done something stupid, and then buy it back from the sucker... everything will be cheaper.
Although this method is immoral, Gu Shengsheng is immoral to begin with.
Zhang Zhengyi became even more curious as he saw Gu Shengsheng watching seriously.
"Is there something fishy about this thing?"
"yes."
Gu Shengsheng just replied with this sentence and didn't have time to elaborate.
Then I heard a surprised voice: "Gu Shengsheng? Why are you here?"
She listened to the familiar yet annoying voice, turned around and saw her father, mother, and Gu Rongrong.
Gu Rongrong stood in the middle, with her hands on Gu Shitian and Song Shuhua's hands on the left and right.
The family looked very happy. When Gu Rongrong saw Gu Shengsheng, she deliberately clenched her parents' hands, looking aggrieved and asking for comfort.
Gu Shengsheng: "...What's wrong?"
He looked indifferent, but was secretly a little happy inside. Wasn't this sucker just bumping into him?
It's not okay to cheat other people, but it's perfectly appropriate to cheat them.
The Gu family is now a stranger to her. If they hadn’t appeared suddenly, she would have almost forgotten what they looked like.
For a moment, Song Shuhua was unsure about how to treat her daughter.
Things were already so tense when she left, and they had no feelings for their daughter at all.
Gu Rongrong ran over with the look of an innocent little girl and looked at Gu Shengsheng holding the bloodstone worth 10 million.
"Mom and Dad, this bloodstone bracelet is beautiful. Does my sister want to buy it? Will the Lu family give her that much money to buy it?"
"I recently heard that she was live streaming online, and those men all praised her beauty and said they were her die-hard fans. I think the money..." Then he stopped talking.
Consultant Tian couldn't hold it in any longer and started to scold: "Do you think that just because you're an internet celebrity and make money by cheating people through live streaming, you can just buy things casually?"
"The kind of money you make is now a disgrace to the Gu family! We don't need any internet celebrities."
