Chapter 1402 The Treasure Appraisal Streamer Sets a Scam 2
The original owner did just that.
She paid a shill to come to her shop, spend 10,000 yuan, and then resell it for 8 million yuan.
This is not critical.
The key is, people believe it!
The original owner made several big profits, and the smile on his face never left for those few days.
Shu Jiao: "The original owner was quite talented at being cunning and manipulative."
He was self-taught and became a talent without a teacher.
If this isn't talent, then what is?
"Didn't he die because of this in the end?"
003.
This is both our strength and our weakness.
Cause and effect are cyclical, and gain and loss have their own principles.
"Ha~"
Shu Jiao chuckled softly, "Alright. What were the original owner's mission objectives?"
003: "She has a friend, Chi Yu."
Chi Yu was the original owner's roommate and had a very good relationship with her. After graduation, she got a permanent position and went to do archaeological work.
Knowing that the original owner needed antiques, she often provided the original owner with ways and information to sell antiques.
Later, the original owner discovered a tomb and heard that it contained many good things, and that getting rich was just around the corner. So she found a professional folk team and asked the experienced Chi Yu to lead the team to the site.
Chi Yu initially refused.
But the original owner kept pestering her, and she was a loyal person, so she declined the professor's invitation and went to help the original owner lead the team.
"As it turned out, the tomb was too dangerous, and Chi Yu died inside."
003 launched into a rapid-fire explanation.
Hearing this, Shu Jiao understood, "Would the original owner also feel guilty?"
"The two do have a good relationship,"
After a two-second pause, 003 added, "Also, the people the original owner found weren't very reliable..."
This essentially ruined Chi Yu's life.
After all, Chi Yu has been doing archaeological work for so many years and is very experienced. If his teammates are reliable, there shouldn't be any problem for him to come out alive.
how do you know...
They're all greedy and disobedient stubborn teammates.
In the end, Chi Yu died, but two of her teammates survived. The original owner inquired about it...
Sure.
You disobeyed and acted recklessly, and you killed Chi Yu. Do you still dare to come out?
The original owner felt both guilty and angry. In the end, with a wave of his hand, he spread some false information and buried these two incompetent teammates in the grave.
"alright."
Shu Jiao nodded slightly, "Even the original owner had times when her judgment was flawed."
You misjudged the amateur team.
"Everyone makes mistakes. After that, the original owner became much more cautious."
003 then reminded her, "Host, you're now on a one-way street to ripping people off."
"Oh."
Shu Jiao didn't care much. "It's just an antique. No problem."
After saying that, Shu Jiao looked at the middle-aged man in front of her.
His name is Zheng Da.
The original owner met him during a live broadcast.
He didn't have high hopes at the time, and just took out a porcelain bowl to try it out. But to his surprise, the original owner said that the item was good. So he bought a ticket overnight and took an eight-hour train ride to find the original owner.
The original owner first made him pay two thousand for appraisal fees, and then said that the item was worth two million and could be sent for auction.
But a middleman fee of 50,000 is required.
Zheng Da paid the money.
A few days later, the original owner said he needed an "auction deposit". Zheng Da hesitated, but with two million in front of him, he gritted his teeth and gave it to him.
After some time, the original owner said the item failed to sell at auction.
There weren't many customers interested in porcelain bowls, but there was one overseas auction that piqued their interest. It didn't require payment, and they asked if they wanted to send it out for auction.
Zheng Da agreed.
The original owner said a couple of days later that it had already been sent out.
But after a while, they said it was detained by customs and they had to pay a "tax".
They also presented a "customs notice" and various other evidence.
Zheng Daxin believed it to be true and gave him another sum of money.
Half a month later, the original owner said it had been sold.
The deposit of 200,000 yuan was transferred to Zheng Da's account.
Zheng Da was extremely excited, eagerly awaiting the return of the final payment from overseas so he could make a fortune.
But never expected.
Less than a week later, the original owner said that the buyer had changed his mind and that she was sorry to Zheng Da. She said that the porcelain bowl could be consigned to her for free, and she would charge a 5% handling fee after it was sold.
In addition, Zheng Da needs to return the deposit he received earlier.
The 200,000 yuan I had in hand is gone again.
Zheng Da has lost about 200,000 yuan of his own money.
But he was still dreaming that one day the original owner could sell his porcelain bowl. Even if he gave Shu Jiao a 5% commission, he could still earn a million or so.
You're making a profit no matter what!
His wife felt he had been cheated and told him to get his money back or she would divorce him.
He would rather get a divorce than give up the last glimmer of hope the original owner had given him.
Shu Jiao pondered:
Isn't this just a case of sunk costs being too high? Even if you know in your heart that you've been scammed, you still lie and say you haven't?
Hey ~
It's all the fault of the original owner!
"Around two million."
Shu Jiao sighed silently to herself, then glanced at the blue and white porcelain bowl again, "I can't determine the exact number."
"Really?"
Zheng Da shouted excitedly, his eyes and brows beaming with joy, "Great, great! Two million..."
I can buy a house for my son in the city now.
Even the bride price for a son's wedding has been announced...
He was already planning how to use the money even before he received it.
Finally, Zheng Da, full of gratitude and anticipation, took another eight-hour train ride home.
Shu Jiao picked it up, glanced at it, and clicked her tongue softly.
Isn't this obviously a modern technology?
"San'er, find me a decent porcelain bowl."
Shu Jiao said casually.
With so many antiques in her warehouse, it's impossible that she couldn't produce a similar one.
As a result, 003 searched the space for a long time but didn't make a sound.
Shu Jiao: ? ? ?
"San'er?"
"Host sister, we can't find it!"
003 is also numb.
"Not a single similar one?"
Shu Jiao was also taken aback.
That shouldn't be the case.
This blue and white pattern is very common, how could you not find it?
"It's not that there aren't any."
003 paused for two seconds, "But you know our goods are all top-notch. This, the most similar porcelain bowl, would be worth five million at the current market price."
"Still a single bowl."
"But you have the whole set, it would be a huge loss to lose one of them."
"This one is similar, it's a set, and it has been carved. Its current market price is at least seven million."
Let alone bowls.
003 rummaged through Shu Jiao's collection, and even the cheapest item cost three million.
Anything worse? That's it!
Shu Jiao: ...
She's too picky, is that her fault?
"If all else fails, I'll pay two million..."
As Shu Jiao finished speaking, a sense of resentment arose within her.
She's never done a business that loses money like this before!
"Host sister,"
003 blinked, chuckled, and said, "I have an idea. Is it possible to have someone else pay for the two million?"
"Who would be willing to be the sucker?"
Shu Jiao countered with a question.
"Those ancestors, you know."
003 got a little excited. "Let's go to the tomb and get some supplies. We have the space, I'll provide the map, you provide the manpower, and going to the next tomb will be a piece of cake, right?"
How fun!
This thing isn't illegal. Signing a life-or-death contract makes it legal and compliant, and you can make money easily!
Shu Jiao: ...
"Isn't this a bad deed?"
Shu Jiao didn't think she was a moral fox, but this was just too immoral.
