In line with their trust in me, after Chen Cheng and Lu Yunchuan confirmed that genuine and fake goods were placed separately in the warehouse, we opened the store as usual.
I also kept the wooden sculpture that looked fake on the opening day as a "permanent display".
Three days later, six reasonably well-dressed people showed up at my store.
Even without looking at their clothes, I knew they were members of the Antiques Association.
Tao Ronghua and Zhou Jianguo are all among them.
I haven't seen the rest of them.
"Boss Shen, long time no see."
"This is just a routine thing for me."
Tao Ronghua walked up to me with a smile on his face, "The association received a report before that you were selling fake goods, so we just came to take a look."
If you report it yourself and investigate it yourself, you can really cover the sky with one hand.
"No problem, I only sell genuine goods here. As long as there are fake ones, you can take down my sign at any time."
I also showed a respectful smile and walked to the fake sculpture before, "Don't say this is a fake I want to sell."
I pointed at the sculpture and smiled at Tao Ronghua, waiting in my heart for Tao Ronghua to fall for it.
Fake? Of course there is, just to wait for Tao Ronghua to find out!
Zhou Jianguo on the side nodded slightly.
Soon, the entire store was inspected by six people from the Antiques Association, including Tao Ronghua and Zhou Jianguo, and there were no fakes.
“Next is the warehouse.”
Before Tao Ronghua said anything, I spoke first, "I heard that warehouses also need to be inspected, right?"
"Forget it, it has been confirmed that these are all true, forget it in the warehouse."
Tao Ronghua spoke slowly. He knew very well what was in the warehouse.
"No, Mr. Tao, as a member of the Antiques Association, you bring people to inspect. How can you not inspect everything?"
This time the initiative is in my hands.
At first, Zhou Jianguo didn't understand my thoughts, but he chose to believe me.
"Mr. Tao, our previous routine inspections were all about inspecting the warehouse. Just because Boss Shen is on the same street as you, we can't engage in malpractice for personal gain, right?"
Zhou Jianguo also smiled and helped me "speak".
"Oh well."
"Boss Shen, originally I just wanted to read the fake news for a while. Since you asked me so, I can only do it."
Tao Ronghua said with difficulty, his face a little ugly.
After all, the report of fake goods and the inspection were before I exposed him and exchanged my goods.
He and I both knew how I would deal with it.
Tao Ronghua paused, thought for a while, and then led the people from the Antique Association to the basement with me.
Of course, the two distinct batches of goods were neatly placed in the basement.
"These are fakes."
The dedicated members of the Antiques Association immediately recognized the pile of fakes.
"Shen Fan, what's going on?"
Zhou Jianguo was a little surprised. He had obviously secretly reminded why there were fakes in the warehouse, and there were even more than one!
Or even offer to inspect the basement?
"Mr. Tao knows this matter better."
But when he saw a smile on my face, he slowly said, "Previously, Mr. Tao's boss threatened my supply and exchanged it for counterfeit products. Mr. Tao made this clear two days ago when he was present."
Regarding this matter, every time I said a word, Tao Ronghua's face became uglier.
I guess he only became aware of these things when I asked to check the basement.
At the scene, I did not leave Tao Ronghua with any "error tolerance".
He can only admit it!
"Yes, Boss Shen told me about this."
"The evidence is conclusive. It is indeed my boss who is at fault."
Tao Ronghua gritted his teeth, adjusted quickly, smiled and said calmly, "I have fired my boss and promised to give Boss Shen corresponding compensation."
"I am also afraid of the boss's denial, so I will keep these goods first, and then I will destroy them after he comes to compensate."
After hearing my words, Zhou Jianguo smiled, and then he understood why I was so "abnormal"!
Originally, this was a "game" where Tao Ronghua found someone to make things difficult, but by some mistake, it became an opportunity for me to slap Tao Ronghua!
"Now that the matter is clear, there should be no fakes in Boss Shen's mouth."
Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming awkward, Zhou Jianguo spoke slowly, "We are going back first, and we will notify you to participate in the test. At that time, you can choose whether to join the membership."
After saying that, Zhou Jianguo smiled and Tao Ronghua left my room with an embarrassed look.
"Brother Shen!"
Lu Yunchuan just came back.
While waiting for the review, I asked Lu Yunchuan to do something else.
Go to Ronghua Antiques to see the two authentic paintings of Tang Yin.
"How's the check going?"
I turned around to meet him.
"I've been following it for the past two days, and no one has bought those two paintings. They are sent to another warehouse every day."
Lu Yunchuan spoke softly, "And the transportation only comes in the middle of the night."
"Give me their timetable and you go ahead and do your work."
I nodded slightly and patted Lu Yunchuan on the shoulder.
After Lu Yunchuan gave me a timetable, he turned around and went to work.
"Chen Cheng, I have something to discuss with you. Please let Xiao Chen, Xiao Luo and Lu Yunchuan manage it temporarily."
As I said that, I took Chen Cheng upstairs.
"What's wrong? Is it because there's no business recently?"
Chen Cheng thought I wanted to discuss business with him.
"Do you still remember those two paintings when the store was stolen for the first time?"
"In Ronghua Antiques."
I said getting serious.
"Are they the thieves?"
Chen Cheng's temper suddenly rose, but with my comfort, she did not immediately "retaliate".
"Without clear evidence, Tao Ronghua can blame the blame at any time."
I shook my head, "I plan to go to their warehouse and have a look. Since they stole mine, they must have stolen the ones before. If you have time in the past two days, help me find the owner who opened a store here before. "
"Ask them what was stolen."
I think before you open, you should be impressed by the things stolen.
If we can find a similar group of bosses to prove it, it should be enough to bring down Tao Ronghua.
"Okay, I'll ask."
While Chen Cheng went downstairs to continue his work, I walked to Ronghua Antique Shop.
Tao Ronghua is not here, after all, he has to report to the Antiques Association.
Taking advantage of this moment, I could just come in and take a look at the two authentic paintings of Tang Yin that originally belonged to me.
Everyone in the Ronghua Antique Shop felt as if they were facing an enemy when they saw me.
"Boss Shen, why are you here again today?"
"The former boss is preparing money, and the losses caused by the subcontracting will be compensated in the next few days."
The new headmaster came over with a smile.
I realized that this was also a difficult Lord to deal with.
"No, I'm not in a hurry. After all, it's a lot of money."
I smiled and said, "I just came to see your palace. My palace has just opened, so I still need to learn some experience from you."
Although the words were euphemistic, the new leader could tell at a glance that I was here to spy.
