Although the price of this gilt Buddha statue is not low at 8 million RMB, it is a high investment and high risk, so that there can be a high return.
After receiving 8 million yuan, after a little publicity from the auction house, the auction price was at least 12 million yuan. After this, my net profit was more than 4 million yuan, which is almost equivalent to the amount of business that Lao Zhao has been doing for so many years.
’s total worth.
Moreover, the previous several leaks of bronzeware also made Boss Zhao confident. After making a decision, he immediately started to raise money.
It just so happens that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is relatively well-off. Almost all the money for the year has begun to be collected, and Lao Zhao is usually very popular, so the loan went very smoothly. Each person borrowed one or two hundred thousand.
, it took a long time to collect 8 million yuan.
There are no contract formalities in private antique sales, and there is no need for notarization. Of course, there is no need to pay taxes. After Lao Zhao took the man to the bank to transfer the account, this official-made gilded piece from the Yongzheng period
The golden Buddha statue belongs to him.
After getting this gilded Buddha statue, Lao Zhao secretly had fun at home behind closed doors. Of course, before Lehe, he treated Nangong to a big meal and promised him that after the statue was sold, he would give Nangong 200,000 as a token.
It's commission.
Nangong naturally thanked him without words, but after eating, he told Lao Zhao that he was going back to his hometown in the south to celebrate the New Year. Lao Zhao didn't think much about it at the time, and drove Nangong to the mall and bought a lot
The gift was said to be taken back to honor the old man.
After Nangong left, Lao Zhao began to look for it. It was useless to keep this thing in his hand. Besides, he had borrowed several hundred yuan in foreign debt, so he had better sell it as soon as possible.
With the idea of taking action, Lao Zhao took the object to a familiar auction house. According to regulations, the object must be appraised by the auctioneer first. After the appraisal, the problem came out. This thing... it is a
Counterfeit.
At that time, Lao Zhao felt like a lightning strike. He couldn't believe it at all. After leaving the auction house in a daze, he turned around and found a master who appraised bronzes living in Beijing. He asked him to appraise it and concluded.
The same as the auction house, five words: modern handicrafts!
This expert's accomplishments in bronze appraisal are recognized throughout the country, and when helping him to appraise, he told all the lies. The gilding was actually copper water, and the shape was much the same as that of the Yongzheng Dynasty.
There are different, authentic modern replicas.
Old Zhao gave up at this time, but for a while, he hadn't thought about Nangong yet, thinking that Nangong had missed the point. However, after calling Nangong's phone for several days in a row, he always turned off his phone and called the police station.
When my friend checked the address left by Nangong, there was no such place at all.
By this time, if Lao Zhao still didn't know what was going on, he might as well just hit him to death. Thinking about their first acquaintance two years ago and their relationship experience in the past two years, he finally came to a conclusion.
The whole thing is a set that has been put together for two years!
From the time Nangong met him, to the several incidents of picking up leaks in the store, it must have been planned by a group of people. After thinking about the cause and effect carefully, Lao Zhao couldn't help but admire him for doing this.
It's seamless.
Moreover, the group of people who took advantage of the trap were really willing to invest. The prices of the several bronzes they took out were already over 300,000 yuan. When fishing, you first lay a nest and then bait. Wait until you smell the fragrance of the nest.
After I come here and eat the bait, I will basically lie to you without any negotiation.
It is said that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The news that Lao Zhao was deceived quickly spread in the antique circles of the capital. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. No one's money comes from strong winds. When I lent him the money,
Lao Zhao's creditors all came to his door one after another.
In order to raise this money, Lao Zhao took out all the working capital in the store, even the goods he was preparing to purchase, as well as his family's capital. Not to mention that he is now penniless, it is almost the same.
The car and the house are still worth a few dollars, but if they are sold, will the whole family have to sleep on the street?
There was no choice but to close Panjiayuan's shop. Lao Zhao and his family also hid out, thinking of selling out the shop and returning to pay back the money. Moreover, some of the antiques he had collected before were also given to the boss.
Helped with consignment.
After Lao Zhao told the whole story, Zhuang Rui and others were a little dumbfounded. Even the boss knew it in such detail for the first time, and his face was full of astonishment. The current liar is really useless.
Don't go to extreme lengths.
The boss quickly recalled the friends he had been with in the past two years. He was afraid that he might not fall into the same trap as Lao Zhao. It was really hard to guard against. As the saying goes, you can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief in a thousand days.
ah.
The trap started two years ago, which means that in the past two years, someone has been plotting against you all the time, and it is really impossible to escape even if you want to.
Moreover, Nangong had a thorough understanding of Lao Zhao's net worth. He even calculated how much money he could borrow. I didn't hear that the final price of 8 million was negotiated by Nangong.
It took two years to set up a trap. Even if Lao Zhao didn't buy the bronze, he would definitely follow suit. Lao Zhao could tell that even if he didn't fall for it this time, he wouldn't be able to avoid it next time.
"This...this is really not unfair..."
The boss, who hangs around Panjiayuan all day long, was shocked by this story. These scammers are really perseverant, but they did not suffer a loss after they racked up 8 million in two years.
And there is no way to go to the back account for this matter, let alone call the police. There is no certifier of the contract, and the rules in the antique shop are there. Let alone 8 million, even if you spent 80 million, it is still a failure.
Tooth and blood swallow,
"I have learned a lot, I have learned a lot..."
Ouyang Jun was also fascinated, and then said: "Wu'er, this store has been sold. If it's okay, my brother will come and take care of you. Let's see who dares to lie to me?"
"Come on, fourth brother, I'm not telling you, you're like you, you can't last three days, and I can defraud you of your pants..."
Zhuang Rui snorted at Ouyang Jun's words and did not save him any face. Everyone laughed. Even Lao Zhao had a smile on his face. Even the experts were fooled like this. What if an outsider laughed?
, just by making up stories, you can fool him.
"But Boss Zhao, the transfer price of your shop is indeed a bit high. If it is more reasonable, I think next..."
Zhuang Rui changed his topic and looked at Lao Zhao. He expressed sympathy for Lao Zhao's experience, but he was not a philanthropist, so he naturally wanted to buy this store at the cheapest price.
"Boss Zhuang, you are also an expert, and in front of that old man, I can't tell lies, right?
This Panjiayuan store is now empty, and one with a good location like mine is even more unthinkable, although according to common sense, it should be 450,000 a year.
But the goods in my shop are worth over one million. I opened it for 600,000 a year and transferred all the goods including the shop. The price is really not high..."
After listening to Lao Zhao's words, Zhuang Rui pondered. 600,000 a year, with seven years left on the lease, is 4.2 million. Zhuang Rui doesn't care much about this money, but one thing is that he doesn't have a suitable master.
Ah, I definitely can't stay there all day.
"Boss Zhao, to tell you the truth, I don't plan to continue selling stationery supplies in this shop. I don't know how to handle those things, and I don't have the right manpower to take care of them..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui spoke, Lao Zhao showed a disappointed look on his face. This was not said to him alone, and no one has reached an agreement until now.
"It's not impossible for me to even order your goods together. The price can be as you say, but I have a condition. If you agree, Boss Zhao, our business will be closed!"
Zhuang Rui's subsequent words made Lao Zhao both surprised and happy. He was happy that Zhuang Rui was really willing to take over, and his urgent need was solved. What surprised him was that he didn't know what Zhuang Rui would ask for, in case he
If you can't do it, then this matter will go awry again.
Lao Zhao took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "Boss Zhuang, please tell me..."
Zhuang Rui lowered his head to organize his words. After more than a minute, he raised his head and said: "After I buy this store, I will change it into two parts. One half deals with the four treasures of the study, and the other half deals with ancient jade, jade and other items.
The requirement is that you, Boss Zhao... must serve as my master for one full year.
I will arrange for two people to help you. After one year, these two people must be proficient in the purchasing channels of stationery supplies and simple identification of related items. In other words, you must bring me two masters.
Of course, I will pay you a salary of 30,000 yuan a month. Although it is much worse than running your own business, it is not considered low among the managers of Panjiayuan, right?"
Zhuang Rui had no choice but to make this request. He knew nothing about study utensils. If he didn't let Lao Zhao continue to control it, he wouldn't be able to figure it out at all. How could he open the door for business?
As for the piece of jadeite, Zhuang Rui plans to put the jadeite brought back from Myanmar to be digested in the store. There are all ancient jadeite with age. If you take out a few pieces, they will be worth the more than 400 yuan.
The transfer fee is RMB 10,000.
"This...Boss Zhuang, I need to think about this matter carefully. I can't give you an answer now. Can you give me a day?"
After thinking for a while, Lao Zhao said to Zhuang Rui that he originally had other plans to take out the shop, but he didn't expect Zhuang Rui's request and tied him up directly.
"Okay, you can think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry, just give me a call when the time comes..."
Zhuang Rui was not in a hurry about this matter. Even if he paid for the shop, he would leave it to Lao Zhao to take care of it first. He didn't have time to take care of these things this month.
