The so-called art expert is bold. For Zhang Yongbao, there is no place in the world that he can't go to. Whether it's cheating or robbing, how can he notice the open and covert attacks of ordinary people? Li Huqiu also understands this truth, so
Although he had long understood that the man with such excellent psychological quality, who called himself Shuai Wu, was a professional liar, he still calmly accompanied Zhang Yongbao and pretended to be deceived.
After spending time with Zhang Yongbao, Li Huqiu gradually discovered that this boxing master had a unique way of doing things. Maybe it was because of his unique growth experience, or because his aloof and arrogant pursuit made him focus on money. In short, this man was obsessed with money.
The concept of life is extremely vague. He is good at observing the changes in people's hearts but does not understand the world. He lives in ignorance but is free and comfortable.
The courtyard door opened, and there was a spacious place in front of us. There were many people waiting inside. I heard Shuai Wu smile and say: "These people are the guests we invited to see the goods. Among the things we want to sell today are
This item is a treasure among treasures, so we have to have a bidding process. This is the bidding site. The spot is sold and you have to pay for it and deliver it with the same hand. We guarantee that you will not be deceived. Don’t worry if you don’t bring enough money. We still have many small things here.
There are pieces for sale, if you are interested, just pick two pieces, and we guarantee that the price is fair and affordable, far lower than the going price."
Zhang Yongbao nodded after hearing this, not finding anything unusual. But Li Huqiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly said: "I'm sorry this guy brought us here just to show off. It seems like today is a big game.
"Thinking of this, Li Huqiu couldn't help but want to see who today's big benefactor, Dayang Gu, was.
The Immortal Bureau is a higher-level scam that brings together a group of ignorant people in a seemingly unintentional way. In fact, the target of the deception has been secretly selected, and the main target is finally deceived with a series of sophisticated deceptions. This is
The design details must be consistent with psychology and cleverly exploit the weaknesses of human nature. Li Huqiu secretly guessed: The liar who can design such a big picture must be a scheming old man.
He looked around at the people in the courtyard, trying to find out who was the biggest target of today's fairy game. He listened carefully to the discussions in the crowd, and several people caught his attention. One of them was Shuai Wu. It turned out that this
The leader of the Fairy Game turned out to be this young man who looked about the same age as Li Huqiu. Li Huqiu learned this through his conversation with another female liar. The female liar played the role of a etiquette lady.
The character has a long nose, big eyes, a tall figure, and a very pleasing appearance. When Shuai Wu walked up to her, he reminded her in a low voice that a little tattoo was exposed on the open placket of the cheongsam. Li Huqiu had sharp eyes and had already recognized it.
It was a butterfly tattoo. After hearing this, the woman looked calm. She turned around and tied an extra button on her chest with her small hands, seemingly unintentionally. She also whispered in a low voice: "Thank you, Fifth Young Master." Shuai Wusi.
She smiled casually, looked away, and whispered: "It's okay, just be careful. After today's game, we will go back to Aocheng." Excitement flashed in the woman's eyes, and she whispered: "Don't worry, it won't happen.
I will disappoint you." After Li Huqiu heard this, he could finally conclude that it was this fifth young master who was in charge of today's increasingly exciting game.
What also attracted Li Huqiu's attention were two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin. The fat one wore a pair of glasses and held a folding fan in his hand. They looked polite and spoke eloquently, talking endlessly about him.
With regard to his understanding of antiques and cultural relics, people around him occasionally made sounds of admiration and realization. Li Huqiu listened carefully, and his heart suddenly moved. What this man said was full of true knowledge and insights. He was obviously an expert in antiques.
Elite level figure.
If the fat man attracted Li Huqiu's attention because he could speak, then the thin man attracted Li Huqiu's attention because of his quietness. This man was dark and thin, short in stature, and his appearance was not good-looking.
The tall and handsome driver was a far cry from him. He was dressed very casually, with a really cool plaid shirt and blue homespun trousers. He looked like an old farmer who had just entered the city for the first time.
Even so, Li Huqiu could tell at a glance that this man was a wealthy man. There were two reasons. First, the driver following him actually had a Vacheron Constantin on his wrist. Both the driver and the bodyguard were wearing valuables.
With hundreds of thousands of luxury watches, does the boss standing in front of the driver need any famous brands to embellish his vanity? Secondly, although this man did not reveal any aura of wealth from top to bottom, Li Huqiu saw it with a pair of thieves.
This person is wearing a piece of old green on his chest. The green is like a green lake, like a teardrop formed by the mountains condensed for hundreds of millions of years. The green is fresh and the green is breathable. Li Huqiu is swaying in front of this person, with his clothes open.
When I closed the door, I saw it very clearly, and I was secretly surprised. He was an expert, and this thing was of immeasurable value! Jade can warm and nourish the body. This person's Qi and blood flow slowly and sluggishly, and his breath comes in and out. He is obviously suffering from something.
A certain respiratory disease has affected the health of the lungs. Li Huqiu guessed that if this person left the priceless jade on his chest, he would definitely die within a year.
The most striking feature of the Fairy Game is that it truly hides everything behind the accident, so that the deceiver still feels that it is an accidental event until the moment he discovers that he has been deceived. Li Huqiu and Zhang Yongbao are given the responsibility in this game.
His role is that of a shill arranged to make this carefully planned scam seem more accidental and real. It is also what scammers often call a confused shill. It means that he is a shill who still does not know it after being used as a swindler.
Role.
By secretly observing Shuai Wu's eyes carefully, Li Huqiu basically concluded that the thin middle-aged man was the ultimate target of this fairy game, and that the fat man who was knowledgeable and acted in a high-profile manner was the coward of this game.
The second core character.
He quietly said to Zhang Yongbao: "They will probably bring out some unimportant things in a while. If you have money in your pocket, you might as well buy more. I guarantee that all of them will be rare and good." Zhang Yongbao tilted his head and looked at him and said: "
You're a stick boy, you'd better say less, you're so mysterious, as if you've seen through something." Li Huqiu pursed his lips and didn't argue. He had been in contact with this man for a long time, and recently found that he was actually very boring sometimes.
He lived too shrewdly and lacked a lot of real fun. He suddenly envied Zhang Yongbao's rare confusion. Then he thought about it. Others really couldn't envy his rare confusion. Not to mention his rare nature and experience, without this skill
, ordinary people like Zhang Yongbao, who have no inhibitions and are sometimes naive and sometimes assholes, are just looking for death.
Several more groups of people came one after another, but no one caught the eye. At this point, Li Huqiu could conclude that there was only one protagonist on the victim side of the Immortal Bureau today, and that was the middle-aged thin man who was wearing the 'One City'.
The auction started. Shuai Wu walked up to a small platform in the courtyard, picked up the gavel on the table, knocked it three times, and said: "It's great to have friends come from far away. Most of you are here by chance."
I met only a few regular customers on the street who came here because of their reputation. Let me first talk about the rules of today’s auction. In one sentence: The one with the highest bid wins! The transaction is done when the hammer falls, and the money and the goods are the same. We don’t do that here.
Checks and transfers are refused. Small items are clearly marked with prices and do not participate in auctions. However, if you like something and it happens to be liked by another person, then the price will be re-priced. Again, the highest bidder will
Yes! Of course, the more money, the merrier." He laughed, clasped his fists in all directions and shouted loudly that the auction has begun. Please take a look!
Under the confused and expectant eyes of everyone, several hostesses pushed out several small carts from the house, with large plates on them and glass covers. The contents and prices could be seen clearly. There was a burst of comments on the scene.
Sound. The things seemed to be all good, but most people were holding a wait-and-see attitude. Shuai Wu had an insight into people's hearts and asked the hostesses to remove the glass covers so that everyone could enjoy them as they pleased.
The first item for sale is a gilt multicolored Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara statue from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It is in good condition, with exquisite craftsmanship, thick and round paste, and the shape and material are completely in line with the characteristics of the times. It can be confirmed to be authentic. It only sells for 9,000 yuan.
In addition to the ridiculous price, this thing really couldn't be more real. Everyone hesitated, obviously troubled by the low price and it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity. But they heard the fat man commenting on the origin and saying: "Things
It's a good thing and the price is fair, but I don't know who will buy it in the end." Li Huqiu poked Zhang Yongbao and motioned for him to buy it. Zhang Yongbao turned back and glared at him and said, "Are you a tight-lipped kid?"
Huqiu smiled and said: "My skin is not tight, but your money is tight. Quickly take action. You only have enough money to buy this thing. Later, when everyone feels that this is a good opportunity to take advantage of others, you two
You can't buy anything with money." Zhang Yongbao said: "Aren't you the owner of Duobao Building? You should have a lot of money, and it will be over if you lend it to me." After that, he added: "Besides, what do I think about this?
Why does this thing not look real? Although the fat man spoke clearly and eloquently, his heartbeat rhythm obviously changed when he spoke. He probably had some ulterior motives, so you cannot buy this thing!"
Li Huqiu smiled and said: "I'm not polite if you don't buy it." Then he shouted loudly: "I bought the first one for 9,000 yuan."
Shuai Wu shouted on the stage: "This gentleman knows the goods. I will accept the nine thousand yuan without any credit." After Li Huqiu came to the stage to pay the money by swiping his card, Shuai Wu shouted loudly: "The money and goods have been paid tomorrow."
A gilt, five-color, Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara statue from the Yongle Year sold for 9,000 yuan." Then he shouted: "The second treasure is a memorial written by Dong Qichang, a great legalist of the Ming Dynasty, and the market price is 28,000 yuan!"
