Third Master, whose real name is Zhang San.
In his early years, he made his first fortune by manufacturing counterfeit goods and subsequently opened more than a dozen antique shops.
Ten years ago, Liu Zhongyi became the president of the Antiques Association and began to crack down on counterfeit goods. Zhang San was the first to be targeted and was fined tens of millions of yuan.
Zhang San's hatred for Liu Zhongyi was deeply ingrained.
In recent years, the antique business has become increasingly difficult, and Zhang San has returned to his old ways of making and selling counterfeit goods. Last year, he was caught by the association and fined more than 20 million yuan. Zhang San could no longer tolerate it and joined forces with several antique dealers to target the Liu family.
This time, he spent a lot of money to bribe the people at Cuihua Pavilion, trying to frame the Liu family.
If the Liu family is exposed for auctioning counterfeit goods, it will definitely cause a huge uproar!
When the Liu family's reputation is ruined, they can take advantage of the chaos and disrupt the market.
at the same time.
Lin Yu and Liu Zhongyi, grandfather and grandson, have arrived at Zhongyi Building.
Liu Zhongyi's adopted son, Zhang Yu, came over and reported the situation to Liu Zhongyi.
"Godfather, the auction is about to begin. The items to be auctioned have already been transported backstage by the guards!"
Liu Zhongyi nodded.
This adopted son was in charge of almost every auction, and there had never been a mistake.
Liu Siyun quickly asked, "Second Uncle, did you bring the three grand finale items as well?"
Zhang Yu nodded and replied with a smile, "Miss, don't worry, everything has been brought over!"
Liu Siyun nodded without saying anything more.
Apart from Lin Yu, the grandfather and grandson had not told anyone about this.
It's not that I don't trust Zhang Yu, it's just that there's too much deceit and treachery in the antique business, so it's better to be cautious.
Soon, the auction officially began.
Before the auction, there is a notarization process.
There were three people in charge of notarization: one was a staff member of the notary office, and the other two were members of the Antique Association and expert-level appraisers.
As announced by the host, the auction items were brought up one by one and placed on the stage.
Notaries and two experts stepped forward to conduct an inspection.
There were more than ten items in total, and authenticating them was not a difficult task.
Most of the time, the Liu family's auctions are just a formality. After all, the Liu family has a good reputation and they wouldn't sell counterfeit goods to ruin their own brand.
Sure enough, after the inspection, the two experts and the notary office staff exchanged a few words and nodded in agreement.
The notary public announced on the spot: "After authentication, all the items in this auction are genuine and accompanied by authentication certificates. All procedures are reasonable and legal. This is hereby notarized. Notary public: Wang Xiaoqin!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang San and his companions below were stunned.
"All true? How is that possible?"
"Third Master, what's going on?"
"Didn't you say you had already arranged for someone to switch the items?"
The group became anxious and immediately began questioning Zhang San.
They spent a lot of manpower and resources to make those three counterfeit items, all in an effort to bring down the Liu family!
How can we accept this outcome?
"What's the panic!" Zhang San sneered, "Notarization is just a formality; it's normal that they didn't find anything!"
Zhang San paused, then said, "Wait a moment, we'll bid on those three treasures, then confront Liu Zhongyi face to face and expose him on the spot! According to the rules of the trade, we can even get ten times the compensation!"
The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement; it seemed that this was the only way to proceed at the moment.
The auction then officially began.
One item after another was successfully auctioned off.
In about half an hour, we had basically finished filming.
Finally, the three final auction items—a vase with auspicious cloud motifs, a Hetian jade seal, and a Tang tri-colored horse—were presented one by one.
These three items were not cheap, with starting bids generally in the tens of millions. Zhang San and his accomplices pooled their resources and won the bids for the first two items.
Zhang San made the final move, bidding fifty million and ultimately winning the Tang Sancai Horse!
The auction has officially ended. In the final step, the auctioneer will hand over the auctioned items on site.
Zhang San and the others received the items from the staff.
Before the inspection could even begin, Zhang San immediately stood up and shouted, "I want to file a complaint! The Liu family's auction house is selling counterfeit goods!!"
"That's right, ours are counterfeit too!"
"Liu Zhongyi, you old bastard, get out here right now and give us an explanation!"
"The president of the Antiques Association is actually selling counterfeit goods; he's a disgrace to the antique world!"
The others also shouted out.
Wow!
The scene erupted in uproar!
Those who came today are all prominent figures in the antique world. If word gets out that the Liu family sells fakes, this will be a huge scandal!
Backstage, Liu Zhongyi stared intently at Zhang San and his group, his old body trembling uncontrollably.
Liu Siyun gritted her teeth, "I knew it was them!"
Lin Yu asked with some surprise, "You know them?"
Liu Siyun nodded: "Mr. Lin, you don't know this, but these people are habitual counterfeiters! My grandfather has punished them before!"
Lin Yu immediately understood.
Okay!
So many fish were fried at once!
It's time to close the net!
Liu Zhongyi snorted heavily and, supported by Liu Siyun, slowly walked onto the stage.
At this time, Zhang San and his group were still shouting, but they quieted down when they saw Liu Zhongyi come out in person.
Zhang San looked over with a mocking expression. "Liu Zhongyi, you call yourself 'Iron Eleven,' yet you're selling counterfeit goods. Have you no shame?"
Liu Siyun said angrily, "Zhang San, don't talk nonsense. Cuihua never sells counterfeit goods. You need to provide evidence to support your claims!"
