Chapter 66 Being scammed
"Girl, I'll give you 30 million for this piece of glass jade, how about it?" Mr. Fu said.
"Okay." Gu Ning had no objection, because the price was very fair and no one would suffer a loss.
Now, the total amount of funds on Gu Ning is almost 270 to 280 million.
"Hahaha! Girl, you're so straightforward. Okay, I'll transfer the money right away." Gu Ning's straightforwardness made Mr. Fu like her even more, and he immediately called to transfer the money.
"If you don't mind, just call me Grandpa Fu. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help you if I can." Old Fu said this, and he really wanted to make friends with this young friend, Gu Ning.
Having seen countless people, he naturally realized that Gu Ning was extraordinary and would definitely be a person with great prospects in the future.
"Grandpa Fu, I really want to ask you for help with something!" Gu Ning didn't bother to be polite with Fu Lai. She really did need Grandpa Fu's help with something.
"Oh! What's the matter? Tell me about it." Mr. Fu asked with a little surprise and curiosity.
"It's like this. I plan to register a jewelry company, but I also know that the process is very troublesome. So, I want to ask you if you have any acquaintances at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and if you can help me and make it smoother and faster. Of course, I will prepare all the required information." Since Gu Ning asked Mr. Fu for help, he naturally couldn't hide it. He would try his best to use connections. After all, it was not illegal.
"What? You want to open a jewelry company?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Fu was shocked. He felt that this girl was extraordinary and would have a bright future. Now it was like a bolt of lightning to him.
Opening a jewelry company is a great opportunity.
"Yes," Gu Ning responded very seriously.
"How much is the registered capital?" Mr. Fu reacted and asked.
"The initial funding is 100 million, and there will be additional funding later." Gu Ning responded.
Hearing this, Mr. Fu took a deep breath. Although 100 million was just a small investment for a jewelry store, it was a huge amount for a 17 or 18-year-old girl like Gu Ning.
This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can possess.
However, although he felt that Gu Ning was a little girl who was extraordinary, smart and capable, he was still not very optimistic about her starting a business.
Therefore, Fu Hao asked uncertainly: "Are you sure you want to open a jewelry company? Starting a business is not just about having money, you also need the ability to run it and make sure there is always a source of goods. Moreover, as a student, can you manage your time?"
Mr. Fu didn't mean to stop Gu Ning. He was just afraid that Gu Ning would think things were too simple and suffer losses.
Gu Ning naturally knew that Mr. Fu had good intentions, and said seriously: "Grandpa Fu, I have made full preparations, and I have professionals to help me manage it, so there is no need to worry."
Since Gu Ning said so, it was not easy for Mr. Fu to say anything more. Besides, they were not very familiar with each other, so it was not easy to ask too many questions. "Okay, registration is just a small matter for your grandfather Fu. By the way, are you an adult?"
"Yes, I'm an adult now." Gu Ning replied, "But I haven't found a store yet. Once I find one, I will contact Grandpa Fu and ask him for help."
"Okay, no problem. I'll leave it to you, Grandpa Fu." Old Fu patted his chest and said happily.
"Thank you, Grandpa Fu," Gu Ning thanked him.
Mr. Fu didn't stay long before he left. As soon as Mr. Fu left, Gu Ning also left.
However, Gu Ning just left the gambling stone and went to visit the antique street.
Gu Ning looked at antiques not for collecting them but just to find bargains, so he didn't even have to go into a shop and just looked at them at the stalls outside.
Although not all products in the shop are genuine, the genuine ones are marked and are very expensive.
However, what disappointed Gu Ning was that after looking at many of them, he still didn't see the real thing.
After walking for a while, Gu Ning finally saw an object with spiritual energy on a stall. It was a wine jar with a strong spiritual energy, which showed that it was quite old.
"Boss, how much is this?" Gu Ning asked, pointing at a wine glass.
Seeing that Gu Ning was a little girl, the other party didn't think she would buy it, so he didn't show any enthusiasm and said perfunctorily: "This is an item from the Qianlong period, ten thousand."
How could an item from the Qianlong period be worth only 10,000 yuan? It must be worth at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan.
Therefore, in the eyes of the stall owner, this wine bottle is a fake.
But this time, the stall owner was really wrong. This wine bottle was indeed authentic, but it was from that era and Gu Ning didn't know it.
Since it was a genuine product, Gu Ning didn't care about the ten thousand yuan. He immediately took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from his backpack and handed it to the boss.
The boss really didn't expect that this little girl would buy it, and she didn't even bargain! He was immediately shocked and couldn't react.
He deliberately called out the price because he was sure that the girl would not buy it. Otherwise, this thing would only cost a few hundred dollars.
Could it be that this thing is real? However, as soon as this thought came out, it was suppressed, because he himself did not believe that he had the real thing, and it was not easy to get the real thing!
It seems that this little girl doesn't understand anything and has been simply fooled.
The boss was naturally happy after slaughtering the sheep. He reacted and quickly took the money, otherwise it would be bad if the other party went back on his word.
What he didn't know was that it was Gu Ning who got the bargain, while he missed out on much more money.
The boss took the money, Gu Ning took the goods, and the transaction was completed. The boss had no room for regret.
After Gu Ning put the wine bottle into his backpack, he stood up.
But at this moment, a "clang" sounded under her feet, and there was a pile of broken porcelain on the ground, followed by a man's scream: "Ah! My green bean glaze vase..."
Then, the young man kicked Gu Ning angrily and yelled, "It was you who knocked my porcelain to the ground and broke it. You have to compensate me."
Gu Ning understood immediately that she was being scammed.
Porcelain fraud is also a common practice in the antique world, where fake items are used to collide with pedestrians inadvertently, breaking the porcelain. The owner of the porcelain then "righteously" compensates the person who broke the porcelain according to the price of the corresponding genuine porcelain.
It’s no wonder that this type of blackmail has a high success rate because they specifically target people who seem easy to bully.
Gu Ning, a little girl, must be very timid. Once threatened, she would naturally pay the money obediently, so the girl was chosen.
Moreover, when something like this happens, outsiders dare not help in order to avoid trouble.
It was just that the other party had misjudged the person. Although Gu Ning was a little girl, she was not someone who could be easily bullied.
"I didn't touch your porcelain," Gu Ning said calmly.
Yes, although the other party was obviously trying to scam her, she didn't do it.
