Chapter 98 A Scam
So this is what happened.
The driver's surname is Wang. Two days ago, when he went to the antique market, he met an old man. The old man spoke a foreign accent. Master Wang did not intend to talk to him. After all, he had met many deceived people and all kinds of trusts in this industry. He was afraid of being deceived, so he was naturally wary of him.
However, when the old man took out the jade pot mysteriously and showed it to him, his eyes were suddenly attracted, and the ivory color was dazzling and bright. With his eyes in this industry for so many years, he felt that this thing should be valuable. However, he was not moved at once, and he was still wary.
But the old man didn't say that he would sell this thing to him at all. He told him that he came from the countryside. This thing was stolen from an ancient tomb. He, a countryman, would not look at things and didn't know how much it cost. I heard that the cultural relics market in the city was booming, so he came up with a baby and hoped to sell it well. Price.
But he is not familiar with the place in the city and is afraid of being cheated. Seeing that Master Wang is a kind-hearted and good man, he wants to ask him for help.
Master Wang has been wary of what he said for the time being. It turned out that the old man wanted Master Wang, a local, to help him sell the jade pot, and he would not suffer losses. He also promised to give him 20% of the profit if he sold it!
Master Wang is naturally moved by this kind of good thing, and there is no need to spend his own money and no risk. Where can he find this kind of good thing?
And based on his experience, this jade pot should be able to sell at a good price.
Thinking of this, Master Wang naturally agreed.
The old man was not stupid, and he looked afraid that Master Wang would swallow his jade pot. The two bargained and finally negotiated that the jade pot was put with Master Wang for the time being. He was responsible for finding a buyer, and he could get two layers of commission for the money he sold. Originally, the old man asked for a deposit and said that he was afraid that Master Wang would run away, but Master Wang was not stupid and would definitely not do it, so he negotiated that Master Wang pressed his ID card with him, and then the two wrote a note to ensure the rights and interests of both sides.
Originally, this kind of note did not have any legal benefits. Private transactions and things were stolen from **'s tombs, which itself was illegal. Even if Master Fang really swallowed the jade pot, the old man couldn't do anything about him. Just reissue his ID card. There was a sea of people, and he couldn't find Master Fang, but Master Fang But he is an honest man, and he didn't want to really swallow this jade pot.
Then Master Wang happily ran to his friend who was good at making antiques with the jade pot. His friend's surname is Fang and his nickname is Fang Mazi. In these years, they have not only been good friends, but also business partners. Master Fang has made money several times, relying on this Fang Mazi, so he is naturally Trust.
Fang Mazi is still very prestigious in the antique market. He specializes in the antique market. Basically, all the vendors know him, which is also a little small right. His equipment is also complete. At present, he uses instruments to inspect the jade pot in front of Master Fang. The conclusion is that this thing is actually a jade of the Ming Dynasty. ! It was used for burial in ancient times, but it was stolen by the old man.
Fang Mazi also estimated the price, saying that this jade pot can be sold for at least 1.5 million yuan.
Master Wang was shocked at that time, and his brain was blank with excitement.
Think about it, he has been struggling in this industry for so many years. He has been carefully seeking documents and making a small amount of money, basically hundreds of yuan and thousands of yuan, and he dares not touch tens of thousands of things casually, not to mention this one million things...
At that time, his mind was filled with 1.5 million bills. If he could really sell 1.5 million yuan, he could easily earn 300,000 yuan without capital!
Such a good thing is like a pie falling from the sky.
Master Wang was waiting for people to buy this jade pot. The jade pot was pleasant in appearance and well-made. Many people asked, but as soon as they heard the price, they said they were not sure and left. However, later, a man in a Zhongshan suit came. The man looked like a businessman. He looked at the jade pot for a long time. He looked a little excited and asked the price. Master Wang dared to set a price of two million. The man was not surprised. Instead, he pondered for a moment and then bargained symbolically.
In the end, the price was set at 1.8 million yuan. The man in a Zhongshan suit also made a deposit of 50,000 yuan on the spot, saying that he did not bring so much money with him. He would pay the balance the next day and asked Master Wang not to sell the jade pot to others, otherwise he would have to pay him a deposit of 30,000 yuan.
Master Wang naturally agreed with his mouth full. His 30,000 yuan was even shaking...
Master Wang was not a greedy person. If he could earn more than 300,000 yuan, he would burn incense and worship Buddha to thank the gods for his blessing, but at that moment, he suddenly thought of his stroke father and his son's wedding house...
To be honest, 300,000 is indeed not a small amount. How long will it take him to drive a taxi to earn this money, but this money is far from solving his current huge problem.
So he came up with a way to buy this jade pot by himself. The old man in the countryside didn't know that it could be worth so much money. If he could buy it at the lowest price and then sell it, such a big profit would all belong to himself!
More than one million yuan, there is no need to worry about Dad's operation and hospitalization expenses, and his son's wedding room can also be paid in a lump sum, so that he doesn't have to carry a loan to live a life, and his life can be easier for parents. Don't they all hope that their children can live a good life?
Thinking of this, his idea of buying the jade pot by himself became stronger and stronger, and even felt that this was an opportunity for God to make a fortune.
Holding the jade pot, Master Wang turned around and didn't fall asleep. His mind was full of 1.5 million white money. The next day, he called the old man and said that he wanted to buy the jade pot. The old man was not stupid. He asked for 500,000 yuan, but Master Wang could not raise it even if he smashed the pot and sold the iron. He bargained with him for a long time and finally decided to make a deal for 300,000 yuan.
Master Wang put together the money that was supposed to pay the down payment to his son and the money to treat the old father, plus the deposit for the Zhongshan suit, and finally collected 300,000 yuan to the old man.
Well, he is about to go to the antique market to trade with the man in Zhongshan costume and collect the remaining 1.75 million yuan. Unexpectedly, he met Dai Zhi on the road.
Master Fang was immersed in great excitement and did not find that he had been deceived at all.
He seemed to remember something before he remembered to ask Dai, "Mr. Dai, how about this thing?"
Dai Zhi doesn't feel good, but he always needs to know this fact. Even if it is unbearable, he still has to say it.
"Master Fang, this jade holding pot... is fake. You have been fooled."
Master Fang's eyes widened and held the jade holding the pot in disbelief, "How is that possible? Fang Mazi has identified it for me! Mr. Dai, are you wrong? This can't be fake! The man in Zhongshan also gave me a deposit of 50,000 yuan!"
Although he has great trust in Dai Zhi and believes in her profession, he certainly does not want to believe that this jade pot is fake. Everyone has escaped from his heart. All his family is blocked, and he can't bear this consequence.
Dai Zhi's heart was also blocked. The master looked like a kind and good person. At that time, he could completely swallow the jade pot without doing so, which was enough to prove that he was really honest. However, someone took advantage of his point to deceive him.
His father is still waiting for the operation fee, which is a matter of life at any time. His son's marriage happiness has also been gambled on, and the family will definitely be separated...
This is a fatal blow to his family.
Dai Zhi really wants to help him. Now even if he pays 500,000 yuan out of his own pocket, it is thought that nothing has happened. Naturally, there is no problem for her, but it is better to teach people to fish than to fish. Some people must experience the lessons of blood and tears to mature.
But now that human life is at stake, she can't stand by.
Master Wang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but Dai Zhi straightened out the process of this incident and found that Fang Mazi was very suspicious.
The whole thing is too strange. The old man did not choose anyone else. Naturally, he knew that Master Fang was an honest man and would not swallow his things. When Master Fang took something, he would naturally go to find Fang Mazi. All this came naturally, and a man in Zhongshan costume came to sing a double reed.
Fang Mazi must have caught Master Wang's painful foot. He knew that he was very short of money and was worried about internal and external troubles, so he even cheated of his life-saving money.
This kind of person is really unreasonable, thanks to Master Wang's trust in him so much.
Dai Zhi thought so, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, and he had a plan...
