Chapter 514: Don't move, police! (ask for monthly ticket)
In the early morning, it was pitch black all around, with only a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
Next to the crescent moon, stars are twinkling.
Unfortunately, the light from the stars and the moon in the sky is too dim to illuminate the earth.
At this moment, between heaven and earth, only the dim candlelight was scattered from the shed on the top of the mountain.
Although two candles were lit, Gao Mingcheng felt that the light in the shed was still a little dim, preventing him from seeing the texture of the antiques clearly.
Fatty Liu was concentrating on entertaining Shi Lao San, and said in a sincere tone: "Brother Shi, as long as you buy all of these things for me, these things are priced at 500,000! After you sort these things out and distribute them, you can make several times the profit by reselling them!"
"I said, we just need to earn some hard work fees."
Fatty Liu's tone was very sincere, and the price was indeed cheap, so Shi Laosan's expression looked much better, and he no longer spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Five hundred thousand, including this Guanyin statue?"
"right!"
Fatty Liu nodded decisively.
The people around him, such as Damao and Lao Chen, also held their breath at this moment and seemed extremely nervous.
Gao Mingcheng had keen senses and immediately became suspicious.
Based on his experience in the underworld in his previous life, he looked again at the beautiful blue and white porcelain and the mud-covered porcelain on the ground.
He guessed in his heart that some of these goods might be fake, or there might be something really bad. Otherwise, what was the purpose of this so-called game played by Fatty Liu?
He is clearly selling the goods sincerely!
Still selling at a loss!
Shi Laosan seemed to be somewhat excited. He rubbed the Guanyin statue in his hand with his thumb and thought, this Guanyin statue is in very good condition. If it is auctioned in Hong Kong, the starting price will be at least one million!
Just with this Guanyin statue, he would not be at a loss.
Thinking this in his mind, he looked at the old man and the child he brought with him and asked, "Second Uncle, Xiaole, how are the things?"
The older uncle said, "These things were just dug out of the pit. This tomb has been robbed before, and rainwater must have poured into the tomb. These things were dug out from the mud and are covered with mud. If you don't wash them clean, you won't see them well. But they are indeed old items."
After hearing this, Shi Laosan decided to buy all the goods.
"Uncle, Xiaole, take the bags and pack your things! Fatty Liu, I only brought 200,000 today. For the remaining 300,000, I'll give you an emerald-inlaid gold ring. This is a fine item that came from Emperor Qianlong's palace. It's my favorite item."
"Come back to me with this ring in a few days, and I'll give you the remaining three hundred thousand."
Shi Laosan turned the ring on his thumb, then took it off and handed it to Fatty Liu.
Fatty Liu's face was filled with joy, as if getting the ring made him happier than getting 300,000 yuan. Not only him, but also Da Mao, Lao Chen and others all had happy faces.
"Okay, okay! Brother Shi is really a straightforward person!" Fatty Liu immediately put the emerald and gold ring on his hand. Oh, it fits him quite well.
He was in a very good mood. He made a lot of money in this game!
"Da Mao, Lao Chen, help Brother Shi pack things! And these bottles, wrap them up with old newspapers." Fatty Liu enthusiastically directed his people to pack things for Shi Lao San and the others.
Da Mao, Lao Chen and others had been waiting there for a long time. They immediately took out a pile of old newspapers and started wrapping up the porcelain pieces of all sizes.
At this moment, Xiao Le from Shi Laosan's side felt that the light was too dim, so he took out a flashlight from his pocket, and a beam of light immediately shone on the ground. With just a turn of his wrist, the beam of light from the flashlight swept onto the blue and white porcelain on the table.
"Thief light! It's a thief light!" Xiao Le widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
When he heard the word "thief light", Shi Laosan's face suddenly changed. He immediately shone his flashlight on the blue and white porcelain on the table that had not been wrapped up. When he saw the thief light flashing on the bottle, Shi Laosan was furious. He shouted loudly: "How good you are, Fatty Liu, you actually played tricks on me! Hey, you actually used the method of killing pigs on me!"
"Second Uncle, Xiaole, fuck him!"
In an instant, the wind direction in the shed changed, from happily discussing business to a fight with swords drawn.
Ever since Shi Laosan came, Gao Mingcheng has become a invisible person. He also wanted to know what kind of plan Fatty Liu had set up, so he kept silent. Now, seeing the development of things, he knows that his previous guess was correct.
This Fatty Liu actually used the most common method of killing pigs on a person in the same industry!
In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng had been in this circle and naturally had seen many tricks. Some people who bought antiques liked to go to the village to pick up the goods, thinking that the things they bought from farmers were real and cheap. Little did they know that it was the counterfeiters and farmers who teamed up to cheat people!
There is another way to kill pigs, which is relatively more sophisticated, which is to bring the buyers directly to the so-called ancient tomb site, making people have a preconceived notion that the things here have just been dug out and are all real.
But in fact, those things were buried in the ground not long ago!
These deceptive tactics are also called killing pigs.
This tomb was first discovered by Shi Laosan, but he thought that the tomb had been robbed and there would be no good things inside, so he gave up.
But after he gave up, Fatty Liu and his gang dug up the tomb and took the initiative to contact Shi Laosan, saying that the tomb contained a lot of good things and they were willing to sell them to Shi Laosan at a low price.
The tomb that Shi Laosan had abandoned turned out to have good stuff, which was tantamount to a slap in his face, so even though Shi Laosan came to see the stuff, his tone was a little sarcastic at first.
It was not until he saw the gilded Guanyin statue and heard that the whole thing would only cost 500,000 that he bought it without giving it any thought.
Although Shi Laosan was sure that the gilded Guanyin statue was authentic and he could make several times the money if he took it to Hong Kong, he was cheated by a bunch of fakes. How could he save his face?
So, the two sides started fighting as soon as they had a disagreement.
Fatty Liu did not expect this accident, but in a panic he took out his weapons and started fighting with Shi Laosan and his gang. Some of them picked up the Luoyang shovels on the ground, some took out daggers, and some swung shovels.
Gao Mingcheng retreated again and again, giving them the home court, preparing to attack while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
If I had known you would fight, I wouldn't have needed to look for help! - Gao Mingcheng watched the fight between the two sides with relish while secretly complaining.
While the two groups were fighting, he picked up a small jar. This small jar also had the pattern of blue and white porcelain and felt nice to the touch. Looking at the bottom, he saw the words "Made in the Wanli Period".
But he did not think it was the real thing just because of the inscription on the bottom. Instead, he looked carefully at the light of the porcelain glaze. He stared at it back and forth, and finally saw the dazzling light clearly.
The so-called thief light is the dazzling light emitted by the glaze of new porcelain, also called "fire light".
If you look at it in a well-lit environment, it will be easy for an expert to tell this kind of thief light apart.
But it is early morning now, and there are only two candles lit in the shed. The candles are placed some distance away from the porcelain. Therefore, when the soft light of the candles is reflected on the porcelain, it is difficult to see the dazzling light.
But when the strong light of a flashlight is shone on it, it is easy to see the thief's light.
The sound of fighting in the shed spread outside. Gao Guobing and others kept their eyes on the shed. When Shi Laosan and others went in, they came out from their hiding places and approached the shed little by little.
Perhaps because they were confident in this place, there was no one guarding outside the shed.
"Freeze, police!"
With a loud shout, Gao Guobing and others rushed in with guns raised!
This morning, when I was buying vegetables at the market, Huang Dazhi was possessed and picked up money!
I have never picked up money in my life. After picking up the ten dollars, I stood there stupidly. I left only when I saw no one came forward.
I only dare to pick up small coins, but I wouldn’t dare to pick up big coins.
Two thousand years ago in Huaihua, there was a scam that was popular in the central market. The scam was to pick up money or gold. When you picked up money, someone would come up to you and say they would split it in half when they met.
He also says that he has no change on him, so he asks you to give him fifty yuan and you can take the hundred yuan.
Some people were fooled and gave the other party fifty yuan, but it turned out that the hundred yuan was counterfeit!
The scam of picking up gold jewelry is similar. They ask you to pay money and the gold jewelry will be yours, and then the gold jewelry is naturally fake.
