Late at night, inside the red brick house by the reservoir.
The ruffian tugged hard and found that I was holding on to the bag and wouldn't let go. He immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong, brother? Didn't we agree on a price? Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!"
I pulled the bag back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother! I just want to take a look at the goods."
"Didn't you just look at it? What else are you looking at? You collectors of antiques don't even have this kind of vision?!"
"I've checked it out. There should be nothing wrong with it. I just want to make sure."
"Fuck, you're such a mess! Look, look, look!"
After receiving the permission, I immediately turned up the brightness of the flashlight and looked more carefully.
This silver jade pot spring vase is the kind of thing that has an old door opening. Many experts say that the patina is moist and moist, and the texture and decoration features are all nonsense in my opinion. Are the features that experts know not known by the masters of counterfeiting?
When I look at something, I can often feel the "charm" emanating from it at a glance. When it is old, it is old, and when it is new, it is new. The charm inherent in an old product can only be felt. It's indescribable, you can feel it by looking at tens of thousands of old things.
No problem...it seems like I'm really paranoid.
Wait...something's wrong!
Sudden! I noticed something wrong with the four words "Ci Shou Yong Ning" on the silver bottle!
A possibility came to mind, and I quickly raised the bottle and looked at it sideways under the light.
"It's so fucking dangerous! It almost capsized in the ditch! This is a huge landmine that was planted by several people!"
I calmly put the bottle back to its place, and then immediately said: "Brother, I confirmed that the item is fine, but I think the price is a bit high. Can't you pay 200,000?"
Then I was kicked out directly.
The ruffian was still holding a cigarette in his mouth and said: "Brother, if we don't have money, don't pretend to be the boss! Just take a closer look!"
Seeing me coming out, Li Yang ran over anxiously and asked me: "What's wrong? We haven't reached an agreement?"
I returned his money to him, shook my head and said, "I just suddenly realized that we basically can't make much profit at this price. Don't wait patiently for the next item."
Li Yang said oh with a smile on his face and said that's fine.
I looked at him and thought to myself: "If you don't go to Hengdian to be an actor, you're really wasting your talent. If you team up with these famous local villagers and ruffians to set up a trap, you're really going to kill people!"
This kind of game is called "laying landmines" in the industry. The reason why I almost fell for it was because the acting skills of their group were too realistic, and secondly because the bottle was so well made that it almost gave me a blind eye! Or I think it is more appropriate to call it mine laying. Those of us who come to see the goods are the fish. If the fish touches the mine, it will be blown to death.
The bottle I saw fished out of the reservoir was not new. It was a plain silver bottle from the late Liao Dynasty! You can see a lot of these bottles in Inner Mongolia! They were all used by the herdsmen who lived in yurts in the past to store warm milk!
The price is outrageous, 40,000 yuan each!
This time, the price difference is huge!
Therefore, the words "Ci Shou Yong Ning" were later engraved on this old bottle! The person who carved the calligraphy has done some research on the calligraphy of the Song Dynasty. Most people can't tell it, but I am not an ordinary person.
The biggest flaw of this thing is that the vertical edge of the word "Ning" is probably less than a centimeter long and has not been completely melted! If it was really old carving, the knife marks would have been so long gone that they would not be visible after so many years.
"It's so late, where are you going, brother?"
"Oh, I'm going to do something. I'll be right back!"
After starting the pickup truck, Xiaoxuan asked me curiously why I didn’t buy it?
I whispered: "Don't ask any more questions, let's leave quickly."
It may be true that cultural relics from the Song Dynasty were found in the Daming Reservoir, but it was definitely not in the water area in front of me! Including the cheongsam girl, whether other antique dealers who want to pick up leaks will step on land mines has nothing to do with me, and I will definitely not say it! Because I know the seriousness of blocking other people's financial path.
After driving for more than ten minutes, I was relieved when I saw that no one was following me.
"Yunfeng, is there something wrong with something?" Xiaoxuan asked curiously.
I nodded.
Xiaoxuan asked again: "But we saw that thing coming out of the water with our own eyes."
"Haha," I laughed while driving: "They threw the things into the reservoir in advance and fished them out in front of us when the antique collectors arrived. In this way, to a certain extent, they dissuaded us. The defensiveness of these people makes me a little confused as to who is the mastermind behind this bureau."
Xiaoxuan immediately said: "Could it be that Li Yang? I have long felt that there is something wrong with this person. We don't know him. Why should he kindly guide us along the way?"
I frowned and said, "No... Li Yang was involved, but I don't feel like he was the mastermind."
I have a feeling that maybe I was recognized by someone the day I arrived in Handan, and then this person sent Li Yang to get close to me deliberately, which eventually led me here.
"People are so bad these days," Xiaoxuan leaned on the passenger seat and asked, "This is the middle of the night. We are not familiar with the place. Where are we going?"
I was still thinking about the whole incident, so I said, "Find a safe place to stay first, and then make plans."
"Watch out for the car!"
I braked hard and turned left quickly!
The old pickup truck suddenly drifted 180 degrees on the road before finally coming to a halt.
I turned on the low-beam headlights and didn't notice that a large red truck suddenly parked sideways in the middle of the road. It hit it a few meters away. After the car stopped, Xiaoxuan and I both looked shocked.
I saw a few strong men getting out of the big truck quickly with steel pipes in their hands. My expression changed, and I immediately put the car into gear and tried to run in reverse. Unexpectedly, I saw through the reflector that my retreat was blocked by another truck.
"Bang!"
The other party hit the glass of my pickup truck with a steel pipe, and then said something inaudible with a cold face, which seemed to mean that he wanted to get out of the car.
Xiaoxuan had already hidden the knife in her hand.
I took a deep breath and said to Xiaoxuan: "Stay, don't go out yet."
After opening the door and getting out of the car, I immediately raised my hands and said with a smile, "Brother, we have something to discuss. You misunderstood. We just want to find a hotel to rest."
"Stop talking nonsense to me! Get in the car with me! Our boss is calling you!"
I gave Xiaoxuan a look, telling her not to act rashly.
Several big men pushed me to the big truck, and then they opened the back door and let me get in. After I got in, they closed the truck door directly, and the surrounding area instantly fell into darkness.
Suddenly a snap was heard and the lights in the car were turned on.
I saw the cheongsam woman sitting on a chair, staring at me expressionlessly.
Knowing that I couldn't show my timidity at this moment, I also stared at her.
After looking at each other for half a minute, the cheongsam girl suddenly said: "You are indeed the disciple of Silver Fox, Shenyan Peak, right? When we meet today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation."
I immediately replied: "Sister, you've received the award, don't worry! I will definitely not disrupt your situation."
She sneered and said, "My bottle is made to look like the real thing, perfect. For this reason, I found many experts in the industry to verify it. They all said it was real. I'm curious, how did you see it? "
I didn't hide it, I made the only flaw explicit right away.
It is conceivable that if the other party improves this flaw, then the fake bottle will be truly flawless.
The cheongsam woman stood up suddenly. She was not tall, but she had the aura of a superior person. I had seen the same aura in Tian Sanjiu and Jiu Qingshui.
She looked at me and said, "My goal is to get 10 million for this game, but it's still far from enough."
"Shenyanfeng, you are the first to see that there are flaws in things. I will give you two choices now. First, join me, and second..."
"No need to talk about the second one!"
I immediately replied: "I choose first!"
"Haha, it seems that you react quite quickly. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. You are indeed a talent. I admire you."
I just tricked her temporarily to get away, just kidding! If I join them in planting landmines, then the words "Shenyan Peak" will be fucking stinky in the industry from now on!
Paper cannot cover fire. Even if paper covers fire temporarily, it will be burned through one day!
I curiously asked her again: "Song Dynasty cultural relics were found in the Daming Reservoir. Is this false news that you spread on the road, or is it true?"
She said expressionlessly: "It does happen, but it's not in this area of water. It's still some distance away from here."
I immediately said: "It's more profitable to do that one! If you want to cooperate! I can be responsible for finding a few southern masters to come over! We can just share the profits afterwards according to the proportion within the industry."
The cheongsam girl smiled, looked at me, and said calmly: "You don't need to remind me, I'm going to do it on that end, and I'm going to do it on this one, and I'm going to eat both ends."
I couldn't help but gasp, this woman has such a big appetite.
Eat two fish out of one? I guess I wouldn’t even dare to do this!
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
I was busy adjusting my emotions and smiled to show off my carelessness.
"Shenyanfeng, I know what you are thinking in your heart. I don't care what other people think of me, but I can tell you my final destination."
She said coldly: "I must get my sister out of it. Currently, there is still a shortage of 30 million."
