Chapter 721 Antique dealer is actually an acquaintance

It’s no wonder that Gu Yundong is so incompetent.

How to say it? After Shen Yu wiped the beads, although a layer of foggy water mist was still faintly visible on the surface of the beads, the water mist had become extremely thin, almost reaching a vague level.

If you don't observe carefully, you may even ignore the existence of this layer of water mist.

"This night pearl is made of fluorite and polished with some artificial gem ingredients!" Chen Yu's voice sounded again, and he went straight to the conclusion!

“Buzz…”

Gu Yundong felt his head buzzing instantly, as if he was knocked on the head, and he froze in place.

He was originally full of joy, even a little proud, and he had thought countless times that he dedicated the night pearl to the head of the family, and then had a glorious scene at the birthday party!

To take a step back, even if you don’t show off at the banquet, you can still add points to the head of Gu Zhengtang’s family with this strange birthday gift.

Take this opportunity to work hard and improve your status in the family!

But I knew that things had completely deviated from his expectations.

Is a birthday gift a fake?

Is the Night Pearl bought for 800,000 euros a fake?

In this way, not only will the possibility of making a big splash at the birthday party disappear completely, but it will also make a huge joke, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is shameless.

The loss of six million was not what made Gu Yundong vomit the most. What really scared him was that the guests gathered in the banquet hall at this moment, and heavyweights from the business, collection and art circles gathered together.

If this matter is spread, it is certain that his face will disappear, and he may face his father's thunderous anger 100% after returning home, which may even directly affect his status in the family.

The more I thought about it, the more I became more afraid, and the more I regretted it, Gu Yundong felt a mess in his mind, and the buzzing sounds in his ears were endless, as if countless flying insects were buzzing.

The whispers of the cousins ​​and cousins ​​around him, and even the gloating laughter were like thorns, making him blush and want to find a crack in the ground to get in!

"Impossible, how is this possible?" He murmured to himself, staring at Ye Mingzhu in his hand, as if he wanted to find some flaws from it to prove that Chen Yu's judgment was wrong.

However, Chen Yu's voice sounded again, "Brother Gu, this night pearl is indeed an artificial thing. The luster of fluorite is essentially different from that of natural night pearls, especially after turning on the lights, the distribution and shape of water mist are significantly different. If you don't believe it, you can ask other experts to identify it."

At this moment, Gu Yundong no longer wanted to find someone else.

He knew that Chen Yu had studied antique appraisal since he was a child, and now he has been hired by Gu Zhengtang as the chief gambling consultant of the Gu family, and his words are almost authoritative.

He knew the accuracy of his uncle's understanding of people.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yundong turned to look at Gu Xinyi, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "Sister Xinyi, although this bead is fake, I really bought it for real money! It cost 800,000 euros!"

Seeing this, Gu Xinyi gently patted his shoulder and comforted her softly: "Xiao Liu, don't be anxious, calm down first, I believe in you."

Then, she took the bead, picked up the flashlight, and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, she sighed softly, with a little regret in her tone: "Xiao Liu, Chen Yu is right. The luster of this bead is indeed a bit wrong, and the internal structure does not conform to the characteristics of the natural night pearl. But it is only a mere six million. I will let my finances transfer the money to your account later, and you will not bear the loss yourself.

"In addition, you don't need to take this matter to heart. My dad will definitely be very happy to know that you have this heart. As for whether it is true or not, he won't take it to heart."

Gu Yundong wanted to pour himself a cup of hot tea, but his hands were trembling and he couldn't go in. He kept muttering: "How could this happen? How could this happen? The middleman at that time promised it was genuine!"

Chen Yu looked at Gu Yundong's distraught look and sighed slightly, "Brother Gu, this antique is hard to tell whether it is true or false.

"More money does not necessarily mean you can buy genuine products, but it is easier to become the target of scammers. This time, you may have been set up by someone. I wonder how you found the antique shop that sells this Night Pearl?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yundong gritted his teeth, with a little regret and self-blame in his tone, "At that time, I was dealing with some family business matters in Nordic Europe.

"Because my uncle celebrates his birthday, I wanted to buy some gifts. Later, my wife suggested that my uncle likes antiques, so it's better to buy an antique abroad and bring it back. I thought this idea was good, so I started looking around."

He paused and continued, "I first visited several Nordic countries, from Sweden to Norway, and then to Finland, visited the old town of Stockholm, the flea market in Oslo, and even went to some antique markets in Helsinki.

“Those Viking-style jewelry, medieval silverware, are exquisite, but they always feel that it is not special enough!

"Later, I went to France and met a large Chinese collector in a gallery on the left bank of Paris. He had a genuine work of the four monks, one of the four monks, and was a painting of calligraphy and paintings of the three lucky stars.

"The paintings are exquisite, colorful, and extremely auspicious. They are indeed a rare treasure for birthday gifts. Without thinking too much, I bought them for 180,000 euros on the spot.

"But when I calmed down when I arrived at the hotel, I always felt that this gift was not special enough. You also know that there were hundreds of calligraphy and paintings in my uncle's treasure room alone, so it would be difficult for him to take a look at this gift.

“So, I went to England again.

"In London, I contacted several friends who were doing antique business. One of them, an old friend named James, heard that I was hunting for treasures and said mysteriously that he wanted to take me to meet someone.

"The man did have a lot of antiques in his hands, but most of them were calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and jade.

"I thought that there were already many such objects in my uncle's treasure room, so it's better to find a stranger. So the antique merchant volunteered to take me to an antique shop as an intermediary. This night pearl was bought in that shop!"

Gu Yundong said as he took out his cell phone from his pocket, swiped his fingers quickly on the screen, and searched for the album.

After a while, he stopped, clicked on a photo, and handed the phone to Chen Yu: "Look, it's this antique businessman. He also swears that this bead is the heirloom of European nobles and is absolutely fidelity. I saw that he was sincere at the time, and this bead was indeed rare, so I believed his words."

Chen Yu took the phone and his eyes fell on the photo. The man in the photo has ordinary facial features and medium-sized figures. He is wearing a dark blue suit, with a professional smile on his face, and holding a piece of blue and white porcelain in his hand, as if showing it to the camera.
