Chapter 446 On the Swindler's Door
"Dad, what's going on? You have been working in this industry for a year or two years. How can you look away?
After hearing Ye Dongping's words, Ye Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It is common to pay tuition fees for antiques, but for people of Ye Dongping's age and experience, this probability is already very low. You know, Ye Dongping has been engaged in the antique business since the 1980s, which is an early group of people in China. He has handle countless authentic antiques. Even some so-called experts, their level may not be much higher than Ye Dongping's.
"I... I was tricked by someone else!" Hearing his son's question, Ye Dongping's face suddenly turned red, and it took him a long time to say a word.
"Oh, let's make a trap now, so that we can come to our home?"
Ye Tian was stunned when he heard the words, and then sneered. As the saying goes, cheating and deception are all in the world. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a group of deception people gathered together and called it the deception gate in the world.
Unlike Jiang Xiangpai under the guise of fortune-telling, they are basically single-handedly fighting. The methods of deception should be more skillful, and they are often gangs. From tables, chairs, benches, face plates, tea jars to gold and silver jewelry, it is all deception.
Ye Tian once heard Lao Dao that there was a famous businessman in the upper/beach ten-mile foreign field in the 1920s. It took three years by a group of people to cheat all his belongings, and finally jumped into the Huangpu River for the rest of his life.
And in a sense, deception is much broader than the way to get money, and it is more harmful to the people.
So there is a little bit of deception that is the same as Jiang Xiangpai, that is, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were severely attacked by the state. The masters of the older generation of deception are basically dead now, and some young people's skills are not good, and most of them can only cheat some old men and The master.
Ye Tian didn't know what was going on. Although he doubted it, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at his father and said, "Dad, tell me what happened."
Ye Dongping sighed and said, "Oh, this... It's also my fault for being greedy. Well, when I first came to Beijing/Beijing to open a store, I met a Xiang/Hong Kong guest. Although this man doesn't buy much, he is extremely proficient in antiques..."
Ye Dongping's story is long. After telling it for more than half an hour, Ye Tiancai heard some lines. It turned out that after Ye Dongping made up with his family, he immediately set up an antique shop in Panjiayuan, and asked his little brother-in-law to help in the store. These previous articles were introduced.
Although Ye Dongping is from the capital, he still belongs to outsiders when Pan Jiayuan opened the store. After the store opened, the business was not very good, and he was also quite excluded by some peers. During that time, Ye Dongping's life was a little difficult.
Just a month after the store opened, Ye Dongping welcomed a middle-aged man with a Cantonese accent. He claimed to be a Xiang/Hong Kong native who opened a company in Beijing/Beijing. He usually likes to collect antiques.
This person is called Bao Fengling. Although he is not tall and ugly, his speech is elegant. After chatting with Ye Dongping, it was the same at first sight, and he praised Ye Dongping's knowledge of antiques.
As the saying goes, "A good word is warm in winter, and bad words hurt people's cold in June." Ye Dongping, who was a little distressed at that time, immediately told this person about the difficulties of opening a store because of his confidant. With the increase of contacts, the two gradually became familiar with each other.
According to Ye Dongping, Bao Fengling opened a foreign trade company. He once went to the other party's company to drink Guang/Dong kung fu tea and had a certain understanding of the scale of his company.
In the past few years, Bao Fengling successively bought more than 100,000 antiques from Ye Dongping. This man's vision was very accurate, and none of the objects he bought were fakes, which made Ye Dongping look up to him.
Just last year, in a tea chat, Bao Fengling inadvertently said that when the Old Summer Palace was burned down, he was robbed of the twelve bronze heads by the invaders at that time.
Among them, seven pieces of rats, ox, tiger, rabbit, horses, monkeys and pigs are all abroad, while the whereabouts of the five copper heads of dogs, dragons, snakes, chickens and sheep are unknown. According to his research, they should have been collected by domestic folk people.
At that time, Bao Fengling praised the twelve bronze heads, saying that if he could collect one of them, he would have no regrets in his life, and entrusted Ye Dongping to help him pay attention. If there is any news, he must be informed.
Due to the trading of ancient bronzes, it has always been restricted by the state, and objects such as the twelve bronze heads belong to the national treasure level.
Although Ye Dongping agreed at that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was against the law to trade this thing, and on the other hand, the copper capital that had been lost in the people for more than a hundred years. How could he happen to be touched by him?
But who knows that just a few days ago, an antique dealer who had had business dealings with Ye Dongping found him, saying that he had a national weapon in his hand, but he wanted to take action but couldn't find the right person. He asked Ye Dongping if he could pick up this thing?
To be honest, few of the business people, especially those who do antique business, are really disciplined and law-abiding, otherwise you can just sit back and wait to lose money. As soon as Ye Dongping heard it at that time, he said to take a look at the goods first.
The man agreed, took Ye Dongping to a place in the suburbs, and took out a copper faucet. Ye Dongping looked at it and was immediately surprised.
This faucet, in terms of regulatory shape and size, is exactly the same as the one lost in the Old Summer Palace, and the antique dealer also made it clear that this thing is the national treasure, and the price is 30 million!
Ye Dongping has been doing business for so many years, and his ears are full of ghosts. Naturally, he will not believe his words. After identifying with the help of the tools he carries with him, he did not see any flaw.
You know, Ye Dongping suffered a loss on a three-legged tripod. Since that time, he has spent a lot of effort on the appreciation of bronzes, and his understanding of the identification of bronzes has been very clear.
This is an ordinary person who is always a little confident. After the appraisal, Ye Dongping felt that the object was authentic, but he was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but took a few high-definition photos and brought them back.
When Ye Dongping returned to the store, he called Bao Fengling. When asked, the buddy was in Hong Kong. Hearing Ye Dongping say that he had found the copper head of the dragon head, Bao Fengling was immediately ecstatic on the phone.
It's just that his business in Hong Kong is very important. It will take three days to return to Beijing at the earliest. Let Ye Dongping give the photos he took to his horse boy and see if this thing can be collected first.
There is no fax in Ye Dongping's store, but he also kept an eye on it.
After the familiar Ma Zai came at that time, Ye Dongping sent a photo from a fax store he went with him. He also clearly saw that Ma Zai paid tens of yuan, which was indeed sent to Hong Kong.
Ten minutes after receiving the fax, Ye Dongping's mobile phone rang, and the incoming number was also a Hong Kong number. Bao Fengling concluded that it was the dragon head that was lost that year.
Bao Fengling asked Ye Dong to live with the man. When he returned to Beijing, he talked about the business, and said that as long as the price of the item did not exceed 100 million yuan, he would buy it, and he would also express his gratitude to Ye Dongping, the middleman.
Since Ye Dongping didn't want to buy things, he would not take any risks. After thinking about it, he agreed to Bao Fengling's request and promised to delay him for three days.
I didn't think of it. Just the next day, the familiar antique dealer called and said that a boss took a fancy to that thing. If Ye Dongping didn't want it, he would give it to someone else, and the boss could pay for the goods this afternoon.
As soon as Ye Dongping heard this, he immediately called Bao Fengling.
Ye Dongping said the matter, and he was immediately anxious. He said that he would book the ticket immediately and rush to Beijing in the evening, so that Ye Dongping would keep the dragon head no matter what.
And if it really doesn't work, let him pay for it first. No matter how much money Ye Dongping bought, he is willing to pay the price of 80 million rmb.
Hearing the other party's words, Ye Dongping was really a little moved. Out of professional habits, he did not tell Bao Fengling the price of the dragon head, so he knew in his heart that if he ate it first, he could make a net profit of 50 million as soon as he changed hands!
After much consideration, Ye Dongping contacted the antique dealer and said that it would be okay to watch the goods at night? He was rejected by the antique dealer, and someone else will come to pay to pick up the goods in the afternoon. He can't let the business go, can he?
After some careful consideration, Ye Dongping still decided to take down the dragon head. After all, he personally identified it, and he also had some confidence in his heart.
After doing business for so many years, especially in recent years, Ye Dongping's antique business has also begun to go uphill. He has more than 11 million yuan in his own hands, and he has mobilized all the funds of the antique shop, plus the money given by Ye Tian, which is enough to make up 30 million yuan.
After depositing these 30 million yuan on a card, Ye Dongping took Zhou Xiaotian to find the antique dealer. The transaction went extremely smoothly. After transferring the money, the dragon head was identified by him several times and officially belonged to Ye Dongping.
After receiving Longshou, Ye Dongping immediately called Bao Fengling. After the phone call, Bao Fengling said that he was about to get on the plane. He would contact him when he arrived in Beijing and asked Ye Dongping to take good care of Longshou.
It was only until after eleven o'clock in the evening that Bao Fengling's Hong Kong mobile phone number could no longer be answered. Ye Dongping changed to pack Fengling's domestic mobile phone, and no one answered.
At that time, Ye Dongping felt something was wrong in his heart. He rushed to Bao Fengling's trading company the next morning. When he went there, he was dumbfounded.
