Chapter 186: Treasure Appraisal Tutorial, a Game within a Game

Chapter 186: Treasure Appraisal Tutorial, a Game within a Game (-word chapter!)

"Xiao Bai, if you want to do business in the future, don't learn from this kind of people."

"Although he may be able to deceive a few people who don't know much about business, there are always people who are better than you. One day, maybe a master will come to defeat you."

"By then, the loss may be even greater than that of this person today."

Fatty Wang was also happy, and spoke to Bai Haotian earnestly.

Fatty Wang would not normally tell others such truths, and he would only say so because he truly regarded Bai Haotian as his own.

After all, he knew that truth.

No one likes to be taught by others. They always remember what you said to them only after they get hurt.

You think you are doing this for his own good, but if you say too much, not only will you not get his gratitude, but it will make him feel disgusted.

However, Bai Haotian was obviously not such a person. She listened to Fatty Wang's words immediately.

"Fatty is right. We won't do this kind of thing. We must make money in an honest way." Bai Haotian even used the honorific, which showed that one was recognizing a teacher and the other was recognizing a student.

The two of them, each holding a box, walked aimlessly among the crowd coming and going.

My mood is no longer as heavy as before.

After walking for a while, Fatty Wang didn't find any new targets, so Bai Haotian said:
"Fatty, why don't we go check out the shop I found? It's hard for us to move with two big boxes in our arms."

Fatty Wang thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. When visiting an antique market, one should travel light and not let the other party see where you are coming from at a glance.

Sometimes it is really hard to do things while holding the box. And it just happened to help Bai Haotian see if this shop is suitable.

"Okay, let's go and see the place you chose."

At Fatty Wang's command, the two of them walked down along the antique market, and finally stopped in front of a house on a side street of the antique market.

Fatty Wang looked around in front of the house. Although there were not as many pedestrians as in the market center, it was still okay.

The most important thing is that it is not very noisy here. The whole street is planted with trees, and the houses along the street are also built in antique style.

Overall, it has a very antique charm and is a good place to do antique business.

"Haoshanju!"

Fatty Wang looked up at the sign on the door. The black background and light yellow ancient characters looked very ancient.

"You have one too many horizontal strokes." Fatty Wang teased.

Bai Haotian felt a little upset and said cautiously: "Fat Master, I just came up with this name randomly. I didn't know the rules of the antique business before."

"Is this the same as the Xiaowushanju we saw earlier? It's also a copycat. This doesn't seem good. I'll have the workers change it tomorrow."

"No, I just think this name is very good and there's no need to change anything." Fatty Wang's answer was beyond Bai Haotian's expectations.

"But, didn't you just say that it's not good to copy others?" Bai Haotian was a little confused.

Fatty Wang shook his head and said, "The one just now was a knockoff. Ours is the authentic one."

Bai Haotian didn't understand and still looked at the fat man in confusion.

"Whose Wushanju belongs to? Isn't it ours? We imitate ourselves, can it be called a copycat?" Fatty Wang couldn't help but knock on Bai Haotian's wooden head and explained to her.

"Oh"

Bai Haotian immediately understood.

Although Wushanju is now occupied by Xue Wu, logically speaking, Wushanju belongs to the Wu family.

You imitate your own things, outsiders have no right to make comments.

They can use this signboard openly and with confidence.

"Okay, come on, I'll take you in to have a look." Bai Haotian said with a smile.

Push open the door of the yard and bring the fat man in.

As soon as he entered the door, Fatty Wang was shocked.

How can the whole shop be called a shop? It is clearly a large courtyard.

Across the gate is a medium-sized yard with some bonsai trees placed in it.

There are two small rooms on both sides, which can be used as storage rooms to store sundries.

Opposite the entrance is the main house, which has the architectural style of the Jiangnan water towns.

A large hall with four doors and a set of mahogany furniture in the middle.

It is antique and full of the grandeur of the wealthy families in TV dramas.

There are several agarwood racks scattered around, with some small ornaments placed on them.

Just throw away these decorations, replace them with real antiques and you can open your business.

"In order to make the Third Master accustomed to it, I have arranged the furnishings and layout here according to Wushanju."

"Although the quality is a little bit off, I really tried my best. Fatty, what do you think?"

Standing in the yard and basking in the sunshine, Bai Haotian began to introduce himself to Fatty Wang.

"Oh, I didn't realize that. You are a real knockoff. The boss just now is not even qualified to carry your shoes."

Fatty Wang looked at it again and again, comparing the Haoshanju in front of him with the Wushanju in his memory.

I found that the two are almost carved from the same mold, and you can't tell the difference unless you look carefully.

"Fatty, you just said that we are imitating ourselves, it can't be considered a copycat." Bai Haotian caught up with what Fatty Wang had just said and felt more confident.

"Fourth sister, you, you have really become a bad person." Although Fatty Wang said Bai Haotian, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"However, you really put a lot of effort into making this courtyard into what it is now in just two days. You really are a naive and brainless fan."

Bai Haotian frowned. Why did these words sound so unpleasant?
"Haha, you're a die-hard fan, you're a die-hard fan, that's enough. Come in quickly, it's quite heavy to hold these two bottles."

Fatty Wang laughed and walked inside holding the bottle.

Bai Haotian followed immediately. After Fatty Wang said this, she also began to feel her hands a little tired.

"Now can you tell which bottle is real and which is fake?"

Fatty Wang placed the bottle on the tea table in the middle of the lobby. As soon as he sat down, he began to prepare to teach Bai Haotian.

Bai Haotian opened the box in his hand, took out the bottle inside, looked it up inside and out, and finally shook his head.

"Can't tell."

In her eyes, the two bottles were almost carved from the same mold, with exactly the same color and shape.

"Hey, it's not your fault. Most people can't tell the difference."

Fatty Wang carefully placed the two bottles together and comforted Bai Haotian.

"Even if I don't use a magnifying glass, I can't tell which one is real and which one is fake."

As he said that, Fatty Wang took out the magnifying glass he used for eating from his arms.

I looked at the pattern on the bottle carefully.

"Done, this one, take a picture of it." After looking at it for a while, Fatty Wang slapped the table and pointed at the one in the middle.

"Is this true?" Bai Haotian didn't understand at all and could only ask curiously.

Fatty Wang nodded: "Yes, this is true. Take a photo first, and I'll add you to a group later."

"Join the group? Join which group?" Bai Haotian was puzzled. Fatty Wang had never told her about this before.

“Hey, take a photo first, and then you’ll know what to do when you join the group.”

Fatty Wang waved his hand and said generously.

Bai Haotian had no idea what Fatty Wang was up to, so he took a photo doubtfully, and then he received an invitation from Fatty to join the group.

"Antique Exchange Group?" Looking at the group name displayed on the phone, Bai Haotian seemed to know what Fatty Wang wanted to do, but he was not quite sure.

"What a joke, this is just a group for reselling antiques."

"Our goal is money, not these two broken bottles. There are a few hidden rich people in this group. If you send the photo of the bottle to this group, there will definitely be people interested."

"This is how high-end people play now. Few people go to the streets to visit stalls with you anymore." Fatty Wang explained.

Bai Haotian knew nothing about the antique industry, let alone how the industry works now. He just nodded ignorantly.

"So what should I do next?"

"You, when you get in, send out the photos first. Don't bid on the price, whet their appetite first. I'm not in a position to talk, so just say this is an imitation of the Ge kiln from Qianlong."

"Official kiln, remember, you must emphasize the official kiln."

"Ok."

Bai Haotian picked up the bottle and took another clear photo of the bottom of the bottle.

After spending a few hours with Fatty Wang, she has learned that looking at the bottom of the porcelain is a key point.

Three photos, one for the bottle mouth, one for the bottle body, and one for the bottle bottom.

Bai Haotian quickly sent it to the communication group.

Finally, according to Fatty Wang’s statement, the words “Qianlong imitation Ge kiln official kiln” were added.

“I have sent it.”

"Okay, now let's just wait for the fish to take the bait." Fatty Wang took a sip of tea with satisfaction, waiting for someone with a destiny to take a fancy to the bottle.

"Fatty, I've thought about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out. How do you tell which bottle is real and which is fake?"

The waiting time was long. Bai Haotian took the two bottles and looked at them again, but still couldn't tell the real one from the fake one. He could only humbly ask Fatty Wang for advice.

"Gather foam and accumulate pearls."

Fatty Wang told his secret mysteriously.

"Gathering foam and accumulating beads?" Bai Haotian repeated it word by word and finally shook his head.

These are completely terminology in the antique world, and she had never heard of these four words before.

So she didn't understand the meaning of these four words at all.

"According to the textbook explanation, it refers to the fine bubbles under the glaze of porcelain," Fatty Wang explained.

"Hmm, what next?"

Bai Haotian picked up the bottle and could indeed see some fine bubbles under the translucent glaze.

However, she was a little confused about how to distinguish which of these featureless bubbles were real and which were fake.

"Come here, look here." Fatty Wang picked up the real imitation Ge kiln and continued to explain.

"When the Qing Dynasty imitation Ge kiln was being made, the workers valued the butter-like texture of the glaze."

"It's not like other porcelains, which focus on the bubbles inside and the lines of the entire bottle. So, as long as you pick up this magnifying glass, you can see the bubbles inside."

Fatty Wang handed the magnifying glass in his hand to Bai Haotian.

After Fatty Wang’s theoretical explanation, Bai Haotian knew what to focus on, and he suddenly felt that the whole bottle was different.

Although I knew that this bottle was expensive, I didn’t appreciate its charm at all.

Now after the fat man's explanation, it seems that this bottle is not just something that can be sold for money, but also has some artistic value.

"Look carefully, these bubbles have their own characteristics. There are not many of them, and the density is very loose. These bubbles are completely different from the fake ones."

The fat man was afraid that Bai Haotian still didn't understand, so he handed the fake one to Bai Haotian and asked her to compare the two carefully.

"Oh, it's indeed denser than the one just now." With the comparison, Bai Haotian had a clearer understanding of the difference between the two.

A real imitation of Ge kiln will only have two or three bubbles in a small crack area.

And that fake imitation Ge kiln may have more than ten bubbles.

The difference between the two can be seen at a glance.

"Do you know why there is such a gap?"

The fat guy really wanted to teach Bai Haotian something, and deliberately asked her the reason.

Bai Haotian tilted his head and thought for a while, then finally shook his head.

Although this is just a simple bottle, what it contains may be a story of an era.

Although Bai Haotian doesn't know much about antiques, he still knows something about the history of cultural relics.

Fatty Wang didn't expect Bai Haotian to be able to answer, so he explained directly without leaving any doubts:
"Because this is fake, it's from a different era. It imitates the handicrafts of the Ge Kiln in the Song Dynasty."

"Oh, I see. I see."

Bai Haotian suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

"Anyway, just remember the bubbles. The ones with more bubbles are fake. The ones with fewer bubbles are real." Fatty Wang was afraid that Bai Haotian still didn't understand, so he emphasized the conclusion again.

"The one with fewer bubbles is real, and the one with more bubbles is fake." Bai Haotian followed and recited. The principle can be learned slowly, but the conclusion must be remembered first.

Fatty Wang watched Bai Haotian repeat the formula three or four times before he nodded in satisfaction.

He touched the fake one and said with some regret: "That is to say, we can't sell fakes, otherwise we would sell both together and the price would be much higher. Don't look at this bottle as a fake, but it is a very realistic imitation, the shape and lines, it has that charm."

If you are not a veteran in the industry, most people can't tell that it is just a fake.

As he spoke, Fatty Wang couldn't help but touch the fake bottle again.

One bottle can only be sold for 200,000 yuan, and two bottles have the auspicious meaning of being in pairs, so asking for one million yuan is not excessive at all.

If I really sell it this way, the 500,000 yuan will be collected immediately, and I may even have 500,000 yuan left over.

Unfortunately, although Fatty Wang is greedy for money, he still has a basic bottom line.

He really couldn't convince himself to do such a thing.

He didn't want to make money like this. "Hey, Fatty, look, someone in the group has made an offer."

The sound of a message rang on his cell phone. Bai Haotian clicked on it and saw that someone was actually willing to sell the bottle.

"Don't worry, let me check it first. I can see it on my phone too."

Fatty Wang was confident and took out his cell phone calmly.

"Fifty!" Bai Haotian was the first to say the price in surprise.

They only spent 100,000 yuan on this bottle, but she never expected that someone would offer 500,000 yuan for it.

Is it so easy to make money in the antique industry?
"Well, this price is pretty good, it's close to the ceiling."

Fatty Wang looked at the quotes in the group and his heart started beating fast.

The two bottles have such good meanings that he dared to ask for a price of one million.

Now, someone offered 500,000 yuan for just a bottle, which was completely beyond his expectations.

"Should we sell it?" Bai Haotian asked.

"Sell it, of course," Fatty Wang replied.

When Bai Haotian heard this, he wanted to reply to the person who made the bid, but was stopped by Fatty Wang.

"Silly boy, don't reply to him so quickly."

"Huh? Why?"

Bai Haotian didn't understand and was a little confused by Fatty Wang. Should he sell it or not?

Fatty Wang shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't negotiate the price with him online. Just tell him to meet in person and ask him to come here."

"why?"

"You really are stupid. You agreed to him so easily on the Internet. He might think the price is too high and he will most likely regret it at the last minute. This is a little trick in business. Anyway, you should just call him in for a face-to-face meeting." Fatty Wang said with disdain.

"Also, while he's rushing here, we can also see if anyone offers a higher price than him."

"If you have it, sell it to someone else. If you don't have it, consider selling it to him."

Bai Haotian nodded. What Fatty Wang said was indeed what only an old hand would think of.

Doing so is not only foolproof but also ensures your safety.

Following the fat man's instructions, Bai Haotian replied to the person with the online name "Lao Liu" and sent him the address of Haoshanju.

"Okay, it's all distributed. Let's just wait for the half a million to be delivered to our door."

Bai Haotian said happily that although the 500,000 yuan did not go into her pocket, she was very happy to be able to help Wu Xie raise money.

'Well, the real deal will come later, so don't say anything and let me do it..."

Fatty Wang instructed Bai Haotian.

Although the buyer appeared to be very sincere, in real antique transactions, a small problem could lead to the failure of the transaction.

In order to avoid failure at the last step, Fatty Wang felt that he should not let Bai Haotian speak easily.

Bai Haotian nodded. She also had self-awareness.

After staying in Warehouse 11 for a long time, dealing with people is indeed her weakness.

At least you can't be like the fat guy, who says one thing to one person and another thing to another.

On the other side, Wu Xie, lying on the hospital bed, has confirmed the last process. He knows Xue Wu's past.

In the past, Xue Wu was also a poor man.

Learn from an old antique artist who operates with integrity.

The old master is honest and runs his business with integrity.

But in the end, he was cheated by gangsters and lost all his property.

Finally, he was unable to recover. When his master was ill, Xue Wu sold all his collections, but it was still not enough to pay for his master's medical treatment.

From then on, his personality changed drastically and he began to value money the most. As long as he could make money, he would do his best!
Of course, this is not Xue Wu’s fault. Wu Xie expected that the person most important to him would die because he had no money to see a doctor.

Maybe he will become such a person.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie felt a little relieved. Fortunately, his illness could not be cured with money.

If they had a disease that could be cured but they had no money to treat it, wouldn't the fat man and his family be in the same situation? Wouldn't they owe even more?
Wu Xie thought that his death was not yet imminent, so he jumped from the tallest building in Wuzhou. At least he would make the headlines after his death.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie shuddered and patted his forehead.

"You can still think about your opponent at this time. Are you a noble? Or are you obsessed with others abusing you? I am really drunk."

"To be honest, hospitals always make people feel disgusted. It's expensive to see a doctor, and living here makes my mind start to get confused."

As he spoke, his eyes revealed a deep look again. It was probably that Xue Wu's final goal was still the Tomb Robbers' Notes at home.

This notebook was left by his grandfather. It is an encrypted notebook that can only be deciphered in a specific way.

Inside are all the tombs that Wu Laogou has seen in his lifetime, and the contents are a great treasure.

It is estimated to be ten times more than the total assets of the entire Wu family.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie showed a bitter smile on his face.

You said tomb robbers also like to take notes.

Although he left behind the precious history of the Wu family, did he also confess his crimes clearly?
Tell others openly - Oh, I have broken the law, I have a treasure here, come and grab it.

Fortunately, this notebook has become an antique now. It is very old and has a unique encryption method. We should be thankful that the collector is still a descendant. Another message came from the WeChat mobile phone. I clicked it and saw that it was from Wu Suowei.

"Fatty bought two porcelain bottles from Xue Wu's Xiao Wu Shan Ju today, one real and one fake, just to ruin Wu Shan Ju's reputation."

"Let your credit go bankrupt. Whether you are fooled or not, the power is in your hands. The bidding has already started in the group. I heard it is Lao Liu."

"You have to figure it out yourself."

Looking at the information in WeChat, Wu Xie checked in the antique group and found that Bai Haotian had indeed posted a photo with a message below.

Imitation Ge Kiln and official kiln from the Qianlong period!
I watched as the people inside started bidding, and the final competitor who made the highest bid was a stranger.

However, he still fully trusted Wu Suowei and believed that this was Lao Liu's man, or he was pretending to be him.

Wu Xie knew this Lao Liu. He was, how should I put it? He had a very good relationship with Xue Wu and was a capable subordinate of Xue Wu.

He has always been very popular in front of Xue Wu.

Wu Xie looked at his phone, his fingers moving rapidly: "Where are you?"

Seeing that Wu Xie had sent the message, Wu Suowei immediately withdrew the original message, although it left a trace in his WeChat account.

It is better to be cautious. He sent another message: "Don't ask where I am? I am in your eyes and heart."

Looking at the useful and useless ones, Wu Xie moved his fingers quickly: "Are you in the Xue family hall?"

Looking at the send button on the phone, Wu Xie was conflicted for a moment, then he simply cleared the font and revoked all the chat messages.

After feeling safe, Wu Xie closed his eyes and seemed to be sleeping.

But I have a lot of thoughts in my mind. If I get cheated, I might go bankrupt.

But if you don't fall for it, even if you gain face temporarily, the situation that follows will be even more dangerous.

It seems that Wu Suowei has gone to Xue's house. If Xue Wuyi encounters a setback, he will probably look for the traitor in his own team.

I am afraid that they will face an even bigger storm, and then they will not only be exploited, but they may also be accused of stealing other people's business secrets.

If the issues on the road can't be resolved internally, I'm afraid the police will come.

Let the police handle it. Isn't it shameful for someone on the street to do this?
Police? ? Wu Xie's eyes lit up. He wanted the police to deal with Xue Wu.

Xue Wu has been evading taxes these days, and he has always coveted the notebook. If he spends a lot of money to buy a notebook, what about the one who manages industry and commerce?
As for Fatty Wang, he chose to keep it secret for the time being. After all, even if he acted like it, it was not as good as experiencing it for real...

As he was thinking, Wu Xie on the hospital bed began to snore loudly.

This is Haoshanju.

"Well, there's still time, let's do a rehearsal."

This deal is so important that Fatty Wang is a little nervous, so he wants to rehearse it with Bai Haotian while there is still time.

However, before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang.

Fatty Wang was puzzled for a moment. No one should be looking for him at this time.

But despite his doubts, he still answered the phone.

"Hello, are you Wang Yueban?"

Before Fatty Wang could speak, a strange man's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Um, hello, this is me. May I ask who you are?" Fatty Wang thought for a moment and felt unfamiliar with the voice.

"It's like this, we are from the street police station. Excuse me, do you know Ye Piaopiao? Are you her friend?"

The man's two consecutive questions gave Fatty Wang a bad feeling.

In Fatty's dictionary, a call from the police station is never a good sign.

What's more, this call involves Piaopiao
"Yes, we are friends. What's wrong? What happened to her?"

Fatty Wang asked with some trepidation in his heart.

"Your friend got into a fight with someone in the hair salon and was severely injured. He is now in the hospital."

"We found your number in her phone. If it's convenient, could you come over?"

"What? Seriously injured? Okay, okay, I'll rush over right away."

When Fatty Wang heard that Piaopiao was seriously injured, he immediately panicked.

In the past, he might not have reacted so strongly, but Piaopiao is now his woman.

After something like this happened, he could no longer sit still and stood up to walk out.

"Hey, Fatty, what happened? Where are you going?"

If you leave at this time, I can't handle it alone.
Bai Haotian saw Fatty was about to leave and quickly stopped him.

But she knew nothing about the antique business. If Fatty Wang was not in charge, Bai Haotian would have no confidence at all.

Moreover, this is not a small business worth thirty or fifty dollars.

Bai Haotian became a little panicked when he thought that if he didn't handle the situation properly, five hundred thousand might disappear.

"Something happened to my friend. I want to go check it out." Fatty Wang said anxiously.

"What's so urgent? Can't you go later?" Bai Haotian asked, grabbing the fat man and not letting go.

Fatty Wang was also very upset. Nothing happened at ordinary times, so why did it happen at this time?

However, despite the chaos, Fatty Wang quickly calmed down. He patted Bai Haotian on the shoulder and encouraged him, "It's okay, just show the bottle to the buyer. There's nothing wrong with the bottle anyway, and he might bargain with you. You can give him a thousand yuan less as a token of your appreciation."

"."Bai Haotian was still a little worried.

"There's no buts. You have to believe in yourself. You can do it. Quick, quick, put this fake away. Keep an eye on this."

The fat man put both bottles back into the box, placed them on the table, and gave careful instructions.

“Are the ones with lots of bubbles real or fake?”

"Fake!" Bai Haotian thought for a moment and replied.

Fatty Wang nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, put away the fake ones first, understand?"

"If you really don't have the courage, when people show up, hold on for a while. I'll try to get back as soon as possible. When I get back, I'll smash this fake thing on live broadcast."

"it is good."

Bai Haotian sent the fat man to the door, looked at the fat man running out in a hurry, and answered with forced calmness.

Then she went back into the house and put the fake one on the table next to the coffee table.

I was thinking in my mind what kind of excuse I would use to trick the buyer into asking Fatty Wang to come back.

"Just tell him that Fatty has something to do and won't be back for a while?"

"No, no, I don't know what kind of personality he has. If he's impatient, he might just turn around and leave on the spot."

Bai Haotian rejected his first plan.

"Then tell him the story about this bottle?"

When I thought about the fact that I was not even half-baked, there was no possibility of executing this plan.

The most important thing is that the fat man doesn’t know how long he will be gone. The experience of collecting bottles can be described in just three or five sentences. It’s not something worth talking about at all.

Should he tell the other party how he and Fatty snatched the bottle from the owner of Xiao Wushanju?

Bai Haotian is really confused now. She has never encountered such a situation before.

At this moment, she had all kinds of unrealistic thoughts in her mind.

As soon as the fat man left, Lao Liu came to Haoshanju as agreed.

Passing by the door, he looked at Fatty Wang's figure gradually walking away, as well as Bai Haotian's young face, and a smile appeared on his face.

This time he was fully prepared and he prepared all the verification tools himself.

"Is anyone there? Is the boss here?"

Xiaobai was frightened by the sudden call and responded subconsciously: "Yes, yes"

She didn't hide either bottle, so she ran out and went to the front door to see what was going on.

Bai Haotian trotted to the gate and saw three people looking out the door.

The leader was in his thirties or forties, wearing a grey striped suit, and he was obviously the one in charge.

But the big gold chain around his neck makes him look a bit like a gangster.

Behind him, there should be two bodyguards, each holding a password box. When they came in, they didn't make any extra movements, just looked around vigilantly.

"You are Lao Liu?"

Bai Haotian came up to the three of them and asked tentatively.

"Are you the boss?" After getting Bai Haotian's reply, Lao Liu felt like he was bathed in spring breeze. Who is the easiest person to cheat these days?

Young people, nine out of ten are stupid. Bai Haotian is one of those nine people, and it is obvious that he has no working experience.

"You're so young. I thought antique shops were run by old, fussy guys."

A smile appeared on Lao Liu's wrinkled face. With this smile, Bai Haotian's inner pressure was instantly reduced a lot.

The first impression that Lao Liu gave her was not gentle and elegant.

From head to toe, he exudes more of the temperament of a gangster.

Bai Haotian has been in Warehouse 11 for many years and rarely sees people like him, so he still feels a lot of pressure in front of him.

What's more, she was now dealing with a transaction in which she had no experience, and her inner tension was far more serious than it appeared on the surface.

Lao Liu laughed, and Bai Haotian also laughed.

"Come on, let's talk inside. Everything is inside."

....................................

"Answer the phone! Why is no one answering the phone? It's really frustrating."

At this time, Fatty Wang was driving the Jinbei van that he had originally planned to sell, and was speeding on the way to the hospital.

While driving, he kept calling Piaopiao, wanting to know what Piaopiao's current situation was.
However, no one answered the phone, so he had to start calling Wu Suowei.

But it seemed like the two of them had made an appointment, and there was still no response.

What happened? How could this happen? The fat man suddenly looked uneasy and kept muttering.

"What's going on in this world? Why don't you answer the phone? What's going on? It's so frustrating, why don't you answer the phone? Really..."

The fat man rushed to the hair salon with trepidation in his heart for twenty minutes.

Looking at the buildings getting taller and taller in front of me, I was almost there, but I still couldn’t get through the phone.

In the end, he could only keep comforting himself: "It's okay, it's okay, what can go wrong?"

Having said that, the accelerator is still almost at the bottom.

Haoshan was in the center, and Bai Haotian had already led Lao Liu and his men into the lobby.

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Liu saw the box on the table. Without waiting for Bai Haotian to call him, he held the box in front of him.

"Boss Bai, this is the bottle you want to sell, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. What's inside is the bottle I took the photo of."

"Then I'll take a look?"

"Of course, there is no problem with reviewing it."

Bai Haotian smiled foolishly and nodded.

Now, apart from smiling foolishly, she didn't seem to know what to do.

Lao Liu behaved quite politely. After getting Bai Haotian's consent, he slowly opened the box.

"Beautiful, this thing is really beautiful. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Look, these lines and patterns are even more beautiful than in the photos."

Lao Liu held the vase in his hands as if he was holding a newborn baby, with light in his eyes.

After hearing what Lao Liu said, Bai Haotian's heart finally settled down a lot.

Before, she was afraid that this old man would find fault with the bottle after looking at it. Even if there was nothing wrong with it, he would find some fault with it just to bargain with her. It can be said that she knew nothing about this thing.

Even if she was criticized for something, she couldn't tell whether it was true or false, let alone refute it.

Now, Lao Liu said that this bottle is beautiful. With his words, the price should be stable.

However, just when Bai Haotian was thinking about his own little tricks, Lao Liu suddenly put down the vase in his hand and turned to look to the side.

"Hey, Boss Bai, why do you still have one hidden here?"

Before Bai Haotian could react, Lao Liu walked over and picked up the box containing the fake bottle that Bai Haotian had placed next to him.

Bai Haotian's heart immediately skipped a beat and he immediately stepped forward to stop it.

"This. We don't plan to sell this."

"It's okay, I'll just take a look, just take a look."

"I won't sell it. I won't sell it."

Bai Haotian held the box tightly, preventing Lao Liu from opening it.

At this moment, she was extremely regretful. Why didn't she hide the box well?

Now that it has been seen by Lao Liu, he can only bite it to death and cannot sell it.

Otherwise, when the fat guy comes back, he will definitely scold me.

This is still a small matter. If you are not careful, you might end up being cheated like the boss of Xiaowushanju.

In any case, she couldn't sell this fake bottle to Lao Liu.

"Oh, Mr. Bai, I get it. If you don't want to sell it, I can't force you to buy it. I just want to open my eyes."

As Lao Liu spoke, he had already taken the box to the tea table.

Bai Haotian is a weak woman, and her strength is too little in front of a man.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Bai Haotian could only watch Lao Liu open the box.

"Hey, Boss Bai, this is really unfair. They are clearly a couple, and you never told me this before. It's really unfair, really unfair..."

As soon as the box was opened, the fake vase was exposed in front of Lao Liu.

Bai Haotian didn't dare to say anything. He could only watch Lao Liu comparing two bottles with each other.

"Beautiful, really beautiful."

Lao Liu kept switching the two vases, and Bai Haotian gradually became confused. Which one was the real one?

Sweat oozed from Bai Haotian's forehead.

After being swapped so many times by Lao Liu, she couldn't even tell which bottle was the real one.

This is how to do?
Bai Haotian began to feel like crying, wondering why he couldn't be calmer. If he had hidden the fake one from the beginning, wouldn't there be so many problems now?

"Boss Bai, look, there's cash in these two boxes. I came here with sincerity today, just to get a good start."

"I didn't expect you to have more than one bottle. This is called good things come in pairs. Let me ask my brother to fetch another 500,000 yuan. You can sell this to me too."

The more you fear something, the more likely it will come. Just when Bai Haotian was racking his brains to figure out which bottle was the real one.

Lao Liu was no longer satisfied with just looking at the bottles and actually offered to buy both bottles.

Bai Haotian would never agree to this request. She said tactfully but firmly:
"I'm really sorry, I really like this bottle myself, I'm keeping it for my own collection."

"Boss Bai, you are being disloyal. Do you look down on me and think I can't afford your bottle?"

Although the smile on Lao Liu's face was still there, his words had become a little colder.

"No, no, I don't mean to look down on you, I just really like this bottle."

Bai Haotian quickly explained that he couldn't make this person unhappy, otherwise he might not even be able to sell the real bottle.

Lao Liu didn't expect Bai Haotian to be so tight-lipped. He scratched his head and winked at his men.

His men immediately understood what their boss meant and opened the box in their hands, revealing neatly stacked stacks of banknotes inside.

"Boss Bai, this is real money, why don't you consider it again?"

Lao Liu is here to recruit people who know that money makes the world go round.

To be honest, Bai Haotian had never seen so much money at one time.

Although a box only costs 250,000, the fiery red color still gives people a great shock.

Selling two bottles together would bring in a million dollars. This was really easy money.

But unfortunately, one of the bottles was a fake, so it couldn't be sold.

So Bai Haotian just took a look at the box of banknotes and then looked away.

He smiled awkwardly at Lao Liu and said, "Boss Liu, I'm really sorry, I really don't sell this bottle."

Lao Liu didn't expect Bai Haotian to be so resolute. He took the bottle and looked at it again, then sighed with regret:
"That would be a real shame."

Bai Haotian's heart was instantly in suspense. Could it be that he was angry and didn't want to buy either bottle?
Is this business going to fail just because of my mistake?

Just when Bai Haotian was anxious and wanted to find a reason to save the relationship, Lao Liu changed the subject and said:
"Well, one is a good thing. It's called a unique flower."

"Yes, yes, yes, Boss Six is ​​an expert in this business." Bai Haotian's mood was full of ups and downs, and he quickly flattered him.

However, this Lao Liu seemed to be here to go against Bai Haotian today. Before Bai Haotian could be happy enough, he heard him say:
"I'm easy to talk to. Mr. Bai, can you also be easy to talk to me and let me take the one that's the best and most satisfactory?"

"Ah." Bai Haotian was dumbfounded.

"Boss Bai, is this a difficult problem?" Lao Liu asked aggressively.

Bai Haotian looked at the two bottles on the table, and remembered the "Gathering Foam and Accumulating Pearls" that Fatty taught her, and immediately had an idea.

"No problem, I'll go get the tools and let you take a closer look, Boss Liu!"

Bai Haotian said with confidence.

As long as I use the rhetoric that the fat guy taught me later, I will definitely be able to fool this Old Six.

Moreover, he had just been holding the two bottles back and forth, and he couldn't tell which one was the real one.

This is a good opportunity to distinguish the fake one.

"No, we have the tools here. You have to bring your own tools when you go out to buy goods."

Just as Bai Haotian was about to turn around, Lao Liu stopped her.

At the same time, Lao Liu's men handed him a small magnifying glass.

Seeing this, Bai Haotian stood aside, watching Lao Liu carefully look at the two vases with a magnifying glass, while thinking about what he would say next.

"Beautiful, this is beautiful"

Lao Liu took a vase and looked it up and down, praising it non-stop.

"is it?"

Bai Haotian took the opportunity to move closer, and through the magnifying glass, she saw seven or eight small bubbles.
