I judge by observing the production process and raw material ingredients. My current vision is comparable to X-rays, I can distinguish yin and yang; my sense of smell can clearly smell the ingredients and age of the item.
The time it takes to activate my senses of sight and smell at the same time and elevate to the realm of spiritual awareness is very short, about three hours, but this is enough for me to carefully inspect everything in Lawyer Yan's company.
"Haha, calm you down. In fact, the antique business is really interesting. At first, I just flipped it to make a profit, but then I became obsessed with it. Now, antique collecting has become my hobby, and it is also my accumulation of wealth. important means."
Seeing me in a daze without saying anything, Lawyer Yan thought I was shocked. He proudly told me how he got into the antique business.
Two years ago, he met an antique dealer named Sun Min at the card game. Three generations of Sun Min's family have been in the antique business. Sun Min is also a member of the society and has some status in their society.
Sun Min once played mahjong with Lawyer Yan at a table. Sun Min lost the 150,000 in cash he brought, but he still wanted to continue playing, so he asked Lawyer Yan to borrow it.
Logically speaking, he should ask the casino to borrow it at this time, but Sun Min meant that whoever ate the interest would eat it, so he might as well let the gamblers eat it.
In order to reassure Lawyer Yan, he pledged an antique jade pendant to Lawyer Yan and asked for a loan of 50,000 yuan.
Lawyer Yan didn't want to borrow it at first, but seeing that the jade pendant was indeed beautiful and that everyone was in a mixed group, he borrowed it.
On the second day, Lawyer Yan deliberately looked for someone knowledgeable, but the expert directly offered 100,000 yuan, which shocked Lawyer Yan.
Lawyer Yan naturally couldn't sell it, so Sun Min redeemed the jade pendant as promised and paid the interest. After this incident, Lawyer Yan and Sun Min became familiar with each other. Lawyer Yan even went to Sun Min's antique shop to have tea. After going back and forth, the two became friends.
Sun Min told Lawyer Yan that antiques are worth a lot of money. Regular antique stores dare not accept some local goods, but if Lawyer Yan dares to accept them, they can keep them and keep them for a few years or more.
It is a recognized secret that antiques are huge profits. Lawyer Yan did not understand this at first, but when he met Sun Min, it seemed that an opportunity to make a fortune was right in front of him.
Under Sun Min's guidance and recommendation, Lawyer Yan began to purchase local goods from local masters. He started on a small scale, collecting thousands or even hundreds of cheap goods.
After receiving the goods, Lawyer Yan does not keep inventory. He will quickly sell them through friends from other places, and the price can often be doubled. Although he only makes a small amount of money, Lawyer Yan is also overjoyed.
Lawyer Yan specially invited Sun Min to come to his home for dinner to express his gratitude. After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Sun Min held a wine glass and said to Lawyer Yan: "Mr. Yan, to be honest, I admire you and look down on you at the same time."
"How do you say this?"
Lawyer Yan asked, holding the wine glass in confusion.
"I admire you because you are already so rich and yet you earn whatever money you want. You are a bit greedy."
Sun Min didn't know if he was talking too much because he drank too much, or if he was doing it deliberately, but there was something in his words.
Lawyer Yan naturally could tell that this was not a good thing, but knowing that Sun Min must have something to say, he still said patiently: "Then why does Boss Sun look down on me?"
Sun Min took a sip from the wine glass, organized her words, and continued: "Since Mr. Yan wants to play with antiques, he must act like he is playing with antiques, instead of like now. If you play like this, you will be invisible." . I admire Mr. Yan, it is Mr. Yan who knows that playing like this is risky, yet he has continued to play like this for more than a year."
Lawyer Yan looked embarrassed when he heard this. He naturally understood what Sun Min meant.
In fact, Sun Min had reminded him before that these local goods should not be exposed to the light casually. These local goods should be kept in your hands for a few years. When the news is over, the risk will be reduced and the value will increase.
Local goods, which are antiques from tombs, are usually obtained from tomb robberies. The risk is high when they first come to light. In order to realize the cash in time, the local masters usually sell them at a given price.
The reason why Lawyer Yan took action in time was because he didn't understand the antique industry and was afraid that there would be something wrong with the goods, and he ended up losing it.
Seeing Lawyer Yan's embarrassed expression, Sun Min smiled slightly and said: "In our industry, it's better to save one item than to save it for a lifetime. Whether it's a good heirloom or a life-saving charm, it's easy to keep it in hand even if it needs to be cashed out in the future." , the most taboo thing is what you are doing now. You can't let those who are fighting back eat too much. As long as there is goods, they can sell it. They will be unscrupulous. Sooner or later something will happen. Mr. Yan is a smart man. Think carefully. I wonder if that’s the truth.”
Sun Min's words made Lawyer Yan suddenly realize that this business was a side business after all, and with frequent attacks, something would happen sooner or later.
The meal lasted four or five hours, and Sun Min gave Lawyer Yan a good lesson. From that day on, Lawyer Yan became picky when purchasing antiques, and he began to buy some high-quality products.
On the one hand, Lawyer Yan strengthened his study of antique knowledge, and on the other hand, he consulted Sun Min more. The objects he acquired also changed from hundreds or thousands to tens or hundreds of thousands, such as the ancient bowl just now. Lawyer Yan bought it for 200,000 yuan.
When I heard this, I understood everything. Our lawyer Yan had been tricked.
If my judgment is correct, this should be a trap set up by Sun Min and the local master who sells goods, and even Lawyer Yan's friend who receives goods from other places is also an accomplice.
They first sold some low-value real antiques to Lawyer Yan at low prices so that Lawyer Yan could enjoy the benefits. This is called baiting. Waiting for Lawyer Yan to dispel his concerns, Sun Min will give some advice to Lawyer Yan.
Lawyer Yan's game got bigger and bigger, and before he knew it, Lawyer Yan was bankrupt, leaving only a bunch of fakes in his house. This is called closing the net.
Sun Min was naturally not afraid that Lawyer Yan would eventually find out and come to settle the score with him. First of all, he did not sell this product, so there was no reason to approach him.
Secondly, he is a member of the society. When Lawyer Yan was working as a lawyer, he still had some social connections. Lawyer Yan has stopped working as a lawyer for so many years, who will give him face?
In the end, when Lawyer Yan finds out, he will most likely be in trouble and will only have a bunch of fakes on his hands. Who else can he ask for to help him with his financial resources?
Once this kind of situation is planned, the person being designed is often kept in the dark for the rest of his life. Even if he wakes up, he is unable to reverse it.
Why do I know so much? In fact, I have to thank Lawyer Yan. He asked me to study more. I listened to this.
In addition to reading and studying, I also communicated with many inmates from all walks of life. There were masters of antiques and reverse fighting, and there were also some scammers. Naturally, I understood some of the tricks here.
I silently and carefully observed the antiques on the antique shelves. When Lawyer Yan saw me like this, he felt proud unconsciously.
