Chapter 208: A Profitable Investment

Zhu Suisui continued with the summary.

"According to what you said, your good brother introduced you to this batch of porcelain business and told you that it was a good batch of goods. He asked you to invest in the purchase of this batch of goods, and then he helped you find a market, and then the profits were split 50-50 between you. Is that what you mean?"

Lu Chengzhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Zhu Suisui smiled and said, "Have you discussed this before? If you, my good brother, cannot sell this batch of porcelain, who will bear the loss?"

Hearing this.

Lu Chengzhi realized, "How can it not be sold? He has a market. He has been in this business for a while and knows a lot of people. He promised me that he would be able to sell it."

"Promise? An empty promise has no legal effect. What can you do if it really can't be sold? In the end, he will just walk away. Can you still find him?" Zhu Suisui now feels that Lu Chengzhi is really naive and ridiculous.

I don’t know where I met the so-called good brothers, but I’m afraid they are just bad friends.

He was smart enough. He didn't need to admit any losses. He could get half of the profits if he sold it, and it was none of his business if he couldn't sell it.

Zhu Suisui even thought that the other party might have a cooperation with the Wu family, helping to sell this batch of products and also getting a share of the profits. The main point was to eat at two tables at once, without getting a single penny for themselves.

It's no wonder that people like this can make a lot of money in the antique business. It's a completely profitable business.

Until now, Lu Chengzhi has broken his words into pieces.

Lu Chengzhi still didn't quite believe it. He sensed the meaning in Zhu Suisui's tone and felt that the other party looked down on him.

He didn't want to lose face in front of Zhu Suisui, so he said, "That's impossible. I've found out everything. The porcelain is very well made. I heard it's from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. If it's on the market, it's worth a fortune. If I can get this batch and resell it, I can make tens of thousands at least!"

As soon as these words came out.

You Rong's face changed.

She wanted to stop Lu Chengzhi, but it was too late.

Originally, she had no intention of letting the Lu family know about this secret fortune-making.

Moreover, it was porcelain from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, which was truly a fine piece of stuff. After You Rong had inquired about it thoroughly, she agreed to let Lu Chengzhi resign.

The work is leisurely and there is no room for advancement. You will just get a meager salary your whole life. There is no future in it.

You Rong just felt that she was a dependent and no one in the Lu family respected her. She had to wait for her living expenses from her grandfather, and what he gave her was too little, not enough at all. She didn't know how people outside laughed at her.

His son obviously had great potential. If the old man hadn't been suppressing him for fear that he would steal Lu Lanxu's limelight, his achievements would definitely be greater than Lu Lanxu's by now.

It's just that the old man is unwilling to train Lu Chengzhi.

You Rong originally wanted to gain some benefits through Zhu Suisui so as to make plans for her future.

But who knew that Zhu Suisui suddenly changed his attitude towards her.

She suspected that someone had told Zhu Suisui something.

It’s possible that it was the second wife or the old master who said both.

Since the Lu family is so wary of her, she has to make plans for herself and her son.

After reviewing the situation with her family, You Rong was encouraged by her brother.

Even a fool like Zhu Suisui could pick up the missing stamps and sell them for over a thousand yuan, so why can't she do the same?

Knowing that antiques can make money, You Rong began to pay attention to it. Influenced by it, Lu Chengzhi naturally became interested as well. It happened that he had recently made some bad friends and met a good brother who was knowledgeable in the business. The two of them got together because of their similar interests and that's how he got the inside information about this batch of goods.

You Rong immediately went to look for her brother from her mother's family. Her brother was also a very capable man and knew many friends from all over the world. He immediately found someone who knew about the business and went to see the batch of goods together.

As soon as the other party saw it, they asked the You family to take action, knowing that the thing was a real treasure.

It is sold cheaply now, but if it is resold, it may cost five or six thousand yuan each.

Hearing this, You Rong could no longer hold back.

She wanted to act immediately, but after moving the money around, she was still short of money, so she delayed and wanted to bargain with others.

But now his silly son actually told him this directly. How could Zhu Suisui not take action after hearing this? By then, if everyone in the Lu family knew about it, not to mention others, even Lu Taiping, the younger uncle of the Lu family, who was in this business, became very savvy after a few years in the industry, and would definitely come when he smelled something!

By then, I’m afraid they won’t even be able to drink meat soup in this room!

You Rong was about to speak.

Zhu Suisui said in surprise, "What a coincidence! I happened to go to Longfu Temple a few days ago and saw a batch of porcelain. They also said it was Ming Chenghua porcelain. After I took a look, although it was exquisitely made, it could be said to be so fake that it was indistinguishable from the real thing. But unfortunately, fakes are fakes, not the real thing. It's not worth buying at all, so I didn't buy it. Chengzhi, the porcelain you are talking about, could it be the batch I mentioned?"

Lu Chengzhi was surprised, "Longfu Temple? I also went to Longfu Temple, sister-in-law, you said it was fake?"

He was not an expert in the business and believed everything that others said was true. You Rong asked him not to spread the news, but he was also eager to achieve something in his career so that Zhu Suisui would look up to him.

It's possible that she will regret it later.

Marrying the boring Lu Lanxu, how can she be as caring as him!

Before Zhu Suisui could reply, You Rong could no longer control her emotions and said subconsciously, "How dare you conclude that it is fake? Are you an expert? Other experts say it is real, but you, a layman who knows nothing, insist that it is a fake. Where did you get the certificate? Could it be that you missed a Qianlong seal and think you are an expert?"

Something can't be fake.

You Rong has already had an expert appraise it!

How could it be fake!

Zhu Suisui laughed and said, "Second aunt, I am new to the industry, but you wouldn't say that the heir of the Yan family is blind to what he said, right?"

Heir of the Yan family?

You Rong immediately thought of Yan Ziqing. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Could it be true or false?

The events that started from a job till now.

Mr. Lu was already confused by what he heard.

However, he was of course aware of the Yan family's abilities, and Lu Chengzhi's introduction of a so-called good brother sounded like he was being taken advantage of.

Whether that batch of porcelain is real or fake, it should not be produced any further.

Mr. Lu pursed his lips and said, "Alright, that's enough. Chengzhi, this business you mentioned is not reliable. You are not allowed to get involved. As for work, I'll ask you one last time, do you want to go back?"

Lu Chengzhi frowned, "Grandpa——"

"You just need to answer me whether you still want to go back to the unit." Old Master Lu was a little annoyed after hearing this. He didn't want to argue about it anymore, nor did he want to admit that the only son of the second wife's family was so stupid.

It was such an obvious situation where he was being taken advantage of, yet he was still feeling smug.

In the process just now, Mr. Lu forced himself to swallow the stupid things that were in his mouth several times.

Seeing that his old man was still so stubborn, Lu Chengzhi did not dare to disobey him anymore. Of course, he also had doubts in his heart. Could it be that the goods were really fake? Naturally, he was a little shaken.

But it's work.

I have boasted to my colleagues that I would do business and make a fortune, but how can I save face when I return home?

He was tough for once, and said, "I won't go back to the company. I want to do business."

But her tone was still a little guilty, and her eyes would occasionally glance towards Mr. Lu.

Hear this answer.

There was a hint of disappointment in Mr. Lu's eyes, but he said nothing more, "It's up to you."
