In the antiques business, looking away is called blindness.
Because in this industry, regrets are not allowed, so even if you get a punch in the eye, you can only admit that you are unlucky and you are not allowed to look for blame.
Therefore, when many people buy antiques and antiques, they like to find a knowledgeable person to help them avoid being taken advantage of.
Only those who truly have confidence in themselves will not need these.
What Lu Fan is showing now is this kind of confidence. He doesn't need help from others to hold his eyes, and he can do it without making eye contact.
However, in the eyes of others, his confidence is completely ignorant.
"Young man, it's better not to believe in yourself too much about some things."
Zhang Yunling felt even more displeased with Lu Fan.
However, in order to maintain a good image in Liu Yun's heart, he still exercised restraint and patience.
"You might think that in such a large antique store, there should be no possibility of losing money, but sometimes you still have to be cautious."
When Zhang Yunling said this, he was almost explicitly saying that there must be fakes in Guo Baoli's store.
Guo Baoli's eyelids twitched a few times, but he still had a smile on his face and said nothing.
This can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the industry.
No antique shop, big or small, can be authentic.
This is not a question of making money or not, the key is cost.
If you think about it, any antiques and antiques will cost tens of thousands of yuan to start with, and can go up to hundreds of thousands to millions.
Guo Baoli's store is hundreds of square meters, and it's normal to have hundreds of items randomly displayed inside.
If these things were true, then he would have spent hundreds of millions of dollars just to purchase them.
Guo Baoli's net worth is indeed hundreds of millions, but he can't possibly spend all his money on purchasing goods! If that were the case, he would have to pay to his death.
As we all know, the transaction rate of antique stores is not very high. If the purchase cost is too high, it means that the turnover rate of funds will be very, very low.
No matter who is doing business, it is impossible to accept such a low capital turnover rate.
Therefore, most of the items displayed in antique shops are a mixture of real and fake. On the one hand, it is to make the store look more substantial and less empty. On the other hand, it is also to prevent fakes from being sold at a high price. It’s really been half a year since it opened.
Guo Baoli is no exception. He himself will definitely not say that he has fakes here, but the fact is that most of the things he puts out are fake. It is very normal for him to be mistaken.
"Sorry, for me, the most trustworthy person is myself."
But Lu Fan's reaction still surprised everyone.
Even when others told him that there were fakes in it, he was still so confident that others couldn't help but doubt it.
Is this guy really an expert?
As soon as this idea appeared in the minds of Zhang Yun, Guo Baoli and others, it was immediately rejected.
The antique industry requires time to accumulate, and identifying authenticity requires experience. Which of those appraisers is not very old?
Even if you started learning these things from your mother's womb, you have only learned them for about twenty years now, which is still far behind! Moreover, you need to pay tuition to identify this thing. In other words, you can only truly have a pair of discerning eyes after taking a look again and again.
How many times can such a young boy get punched in the eye?
It’s simply impossible! Even a young master like Zhang Yunling, who comes from a wealthy family like the Zhang family, would not be able to become an appraiser now, even if he started learning these things from a young age.
However, his status is high! The reason why he dared to volunteer to help Liu Yun palm his eyes was because he knew very well that Guo Baoli would never dare to lie to him! But why should this young boy named Lu Fan do it?
No one thought that Lu Fan would be an expert. They all thought that this kid was really crazy.
No, this is no longer just a matter of madness, this is already stupid! Unfortunately, Liu Yun seemed to believe him very much, and had no intention of asking others for help, so she continued outside.
"Then it's okay for me to follow and take a look!"
Zhang Yunling had a sullen face, but still wanted to follow.
He didn't follow him this time just to help Zhang Yan.
On the contrary, he especially wanted to see this arrogant boy get a punch in the eye.
In this way, he could slap the kid hard in the face and mock him.
Of course, no one would refuse. After all, Zhang Yunling is a member of the Zhang family, so he still has some face.
So a group of people came outside.
"What should I buy?"
Liu Yun was a little worried when facing the dazzling array of antiques.
Grandma does like collecting, but her hobbies are constantly changing over time.
Liu Yun remembers that when she was a child, her grandmother liked to collect calligraphy and paintings of ancient celebrities.
Later, after she went to school, grandma suddenly didn't like celebrity calligraphy and paintings very much, and she even collected all the calligraphy and paintings hanging at home.
Liu Yun didn't know why such a change occurred, but she remembered that her grandma seemed to prefer ancient and precious ceramics at that time.
Later, I don’t know how long it took, but the precious ceramics seemed to have lost favor, and grandma’s interest shifted to various jade stones.
However, Liu Yun is not sure now whether grandma is still interested in jade.
Gifts must be given to people who like them so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. If you give something that others don’t like, no matter how valuable it is, it may not be able to please them.
However, it is impossible for Liu Yun to figure out her grandma's current hobbies.
She couldn't ask Liu Qian here, could she?
Liu Yun knew very well that her cousin didn't have a good impression of her. If she asked him rashly, she would probably get the opposite answer.
Forget it, just buy jade! If you buy it wrong, you will buy it wrong! Liu Yun made up her mind.
She made a fortune at the jade counter.
The jade counter at Guo Baoli's store is filled with the best jade.
There are top-quality Hetian jade from the Western Regions, top-quality jadeite from Laokeng in South Asia, and even diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other gems.
It can be said that every piece of jade here is priceless. If you leave here and change places, you may not even see it.
Of course, there is a prerequisite that they must be true.
Although Liu Yun didn't show anything, she remembered Zhang Yun's words just now.
There are also many fakes in this store! It doesn't matter to Liu Yun if he accidentally buys a fake and loses money.
Even if the price of these jade stones is hundreds of thousands or even millions, it is nothing to her, the chairman of the Ten Billion Group.
However, if someone catches out the fake goods at the birthday party tomorrow, it will be a joke and embarrassing.
Especially when Liu Qian is also around, Liu Yun needs to be more careful.
