The Amazing son in law Chapter 6684
At this moment, Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s employee in the store was utterly perplexed.
He found himself mulling over, “Brother Ermao told me before I came here that my role was to deceive people. I need to pretend that items from the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic of China are actually from the Ming Dynasty and sell them for a high price. Now, the person in front of me claims this item is from the Song Dynasty. What on earth does that mean?”
In his confusion, he instinctively asked, “Boss, if this item really is from the Song Dynasty as you say, how much is it worth? In terms of money?”
Zhou Liangyun paused for a moment before responding, “Bronze artifacts from the Southern Song Dynasty are generally not very popular. It’s not that there aren’t buyers or enthusiasts, but rather because the Southern Song Dynasty was constantly defending against foreign threats. A significant amount of copper was allocated for warfare. Additionally, the metallurgical conditions of that time were quite limited, resulting in a low output of copper. Consequently, there was less copper available for the general populace, with most being bronze. As a result, high-quality bronzes are extremely rare.”
After saying this, Zhou Liangyun added, “Even with the damage, it’s clear that the craftsmanship of this bronze Buddha is exceptional. It must have been a remarkable piece in its time. Judging by the style and craftsmanship, it was likely entirely gilded, but sadly, the gilding has completely worn away.”
Jacob and Zhang Ermao (Cade) exclaimed simultaneously, “You fool! What a complete idiot!”
After venting their frustration, Jacob said angrily, “Enough of this nonsense! Go home! You want 80 million? Why doesn’t this guy claim it’s worth 800 million? What a joke! You just sit around learning how to trick people!”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) was equally furious, shouting, “You look like a fool, but you’re so unbelievably deceitful!”
Jacob retorted, “I’m incredibly busy! Just the other day, I watched a short video where someone received a scam call. They realized the caller was a scammer and decided to waste their time chatting for over ten minutes just to get them off the line. This guy is probably just messing with us!”
At this point, both of them had completely lost hope.
In such situations, if an antique collector stumbles upon something far superior to the seller’s description, they would be unable to reveal the truth even under duress.
Isn’t this a classic case of a pick-up? Who would inform the seller that they have discovered a significant find worth a lot of money?
Everyone tends to keep the truth to themselves, feigning calmness and stating that the item is not very impressive and not worth much. The price I’m offering is already at the top of the market.
As a result, they both believed that Zhou Liangyun was merely engaging in a standard game of deception. As the old saying goes, you spin tales to play with me, and I’ll spin tales to play with you. After all, there’s nothing better to do with idle time.
For Jacob, now that everything was out in the open, with the scam fully exposed, there was no reason to linger any longer.
