What Qiao Meng said just now actually had another meaning, but the boss didn't react. He thought he meant don't regret what the boss said. He agreed quickly, but the tragedy would follow.
Qiao Meng continued to look at the treasures, and then he looked at two pieces in a row. The first one was an extremely finely carved jade folding fan. If it weren't for his treasure appraisal ability, Qiao Meng would have been fooled.
.
"I really don't know if this owner is really stupid or fake. His treasures are all fakes. Aren't he afraid that others will come back to trouble him after they find out about them after buying them?"
"But it's also possible that he did this on purpose. He just wanted to make a lot of money and deal with the rest later." Qiao Meng thought in his heart.
The boss saw Qiao Meng playing with the fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Oh, if it weren't for our young master, this thing would be precious. It's even more powerful than Chaozhudu. It's worth at least 60 million."
"You are really good at raising the price. A broken fan instantly increased by ten million at your request." Baidu suddenly said coldly, his tone full of disdain for the boss.
The boss disagreed. He quickly said: "It's not Mr. Bai. You can't say this. I'm not talking nonsense. This treasure is indeed not simple. There is a poem on it. Look, the poet Li Bai
As the famous saying goes, how can something like this not be expensive? And it’s not easy to come by.”
His words made Qiao Meng laugh secretly, and he suddenly asked: "William, what do you think of this matter?"
"I think there's nothing wrong with it, but it has to be true, otherwise it's deception."
William saw the look in Qiao Meng's eyes and naturally knew how to bring the topic to this point. There would inevitably be an audience at the scene who could understand what he said, so the conversation had to be conducted authentically to ensure that there was no cheating.
The boss couldn't understand, so he asked: "I don't know what the prince meant by what he just said? Master, could you please translate it?"
"No problem. In fact, my friend didn't say anything. He just wanted to tell everyone that the price of this thing doesn't matter, but it must be true, otherwise it is deception." Qiao Meng explained.
"Okay, of course. I promise that there will never be any more lies. Take a closer look. This fan is so good, right? The 60 million is definitely worth it." The boss said with a smile.
Then Qiao Meng took the poem on the fan and read it slowly: "Drinking in the dragon mountain for nine days, the yellow flowers smile and chase the ministers. Drunk and watch the wind falling off the hat, dancing in love with the moon to keep people."
"How about it? It's not bad. This poem is so good. The fan is also made of fine jade. It feels cool when you hold it in your hand. It's perfect as a gift." The boss started to say again.
But Qiao Meng didn't buy it, "Haha, this thing is really interesting. The poems written on the jade fan are to express some of the mood after drinking. Is this appropriate? Is there any possible connection?"
"This...maybe it's because the ancient literati liked to play some mysterious things, so that people can't understand them, otherwise they will find them boring." The boss explained forcefully.
Hearing what he said, Qiao Meng spoke again: "It seems to make sense, but why doesn't this jade look like real jade to me?"
Now the boss is a little anxious. If there is another problem with this item, he will definitely lose his face. Just now he guaranteed that it must be good, otherwise it is cheating. He is really pushing himself into a pit of fire.
But now there is no way out. Although he only spent five million when he bought it back, the things looked really good. He thought that Qiao Meng might not be proficient in everything. At most, it would give him some pressure.
.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Qiao Meng raised the fan for everyone to see, and then said: "I think you may not understand why I said that the jade material used in this fan is not genuine. That's because actually I
I often play bets on stones. You can tell whether the jadeite is genuine or not by just looking at it and by touching it."
"Then please explain it to us." The man who had just examined Chaozhu said with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I was about to say something." Qiao Meng gestured and then continued to shift his gaze to the jade fan.
He said: "Normal jadeite is a polycrystalline mineral formed by silicate under high temperature and high pressure, so the size of the combined crystals will directly affect the smoothness and transparency after polishing. Take a look at this
Use your fan and look at it this way."
Qiao Meng unfolded the fan and held it up to the light, letting the light shine down. Part of it came through, and part of it was blocked and did not come through, making it look a bit messy.
"Have you all seen it? Isn't it incredible that such a transparent fan would refract part of the light even when it passes through it?" Qiao Meng asked.
At this time, a middle-aged uncle who had come into contact with a lot of jadeite rough stones said: "Yes, according to common sense, such a transparent jadeite rough stone should be of extremely high quality. If this is the case, the value of jadeite must be
high."
"And its transparency should be like glass with fine crystals, allowing light to pass through without being blocked. Now it seems that is obviously not the case."
"Oh, boss, you can't keep lying to me. This time, even the big guys know what is true and what is false. I am not the only one who thinks so. There is no way you would suspect me of colluding with this uncle."
Well, are you here to trick you on purpose?" Qiao Meng said in a very helpless tone.
The boss became even more nervous now. He didn't expect that Qiao Meng really knew so many things and that someone would talk to him. In this case, there was no way to deny the debt. There was no way to explain the obvious facts.
"No, Master Qiao, I really didn't want to lie to you, let alone everyone else. The stuff is indeed good stuff. Maybe it's because of what happened to it during the processing after it was made into a fan?"
The boss said very excitedly.
Now Qiao Meng was not going to let him get over this hurdle so easily, "Haha, I really didn't expect your boss to be so articulate and able to argue. Can this jadeite change its texture?"
The boss was shocked by Qiao Meng's sudden outburst, and quickly bowed and said: "No really, I must have been deceived. My boss deceived me. It's not my fault, ah, no, it's just
It's my fault, I shouldn't have shown you the things I didn't understand clearly."
Qiao Meng said: "Do you think I am a fool, or do you think everyone here is a fool? Do you really believe it? The first treasure is like this, the second treasure is like this, and the third treasure is like this
I had a problem with what I saw just now. None of the treasures in this store are authentic. Can you tell me what else you bought here before that could be authentic?"
As soon as these words came out, the boss was shocked. Only then did he realize that he was really going to fall into trouble today, but he still wanted to struggle, "Everyone, please don't listen to his nonsense. He may not be what he is."
As for the young master of the Qiao family, I think these three people are just here to cause trouble. Hurry up and throw them out. Do you want to believe the people you met for the first time instead of me, the old shop owner?"
At this time, some people began to hesitate. Although they agreed with Qiao Meng's words, the boss's words were not unreasonable. It was hard to believe that neither side could solve this matter.
Qiao Meng felt that it was time, so he took off his hat, and then said in a straight voice: "I think some of you can recognize me, Qiao Meng, right? Does my appraisal really have no weight? This nationwide appraisal
The Treasure Conference has just ended, so it’s not a very long time, but I’ve been away from Kyoto for some time.”
"It turned out to be Master Qiao! Of course Master Qiao was right!"
"Master Qiao! No wonder you can identify things so carefully."
Most of the onlookers had watched the live broadcast of the treasure appraisal conference. Just now, because Qiao Meng was wearing a hat and didn't raise his head much, and his attention was focused on the treasure, they didn't recognize him for a moment.
Now that he has recognized it, the fan effect is no joke. What's more, Qiao Meng's strength has been personally verified in the eyes of audiences across the country. Who dares not to believe it? If he says that all the goods in this store are fake, some people will believe it.
Not to mention that now we have to inspect the goods first before saying anything.
"Since you all know who I am, I won't hide it. In fact, the reason why it appeared is because someone reported that this store has many problems and often sells fake goods. Then I definitely can't let everyone be deceived in vain.
So I took the time to come over and take a look, but I didn’t expect it to be like this. You will have to be careful in the future, and you will definitely not come to this store again." Qiao Meng sighed and said.
"We believe in God Qiao!"
"Yes, it's really touching that Master Qiao took time out of his busy schedule to think about us. We must believe him!"
Everyone is unanimously on Qiao Meng's side. It can be said that this store is hopeless from now on. No one will come here to buy anything again.
"You! It turns out it was a scam from the beginning, and you are here to harm me!" The boss was so angry that he almost fainted and sat down on the ground, his whole body paralyzed, as if he was hopeless.
"I didn't mean to deceive anyone. I came to help the people. Although people who can play with antiques must have a lot of money, they can't waste their money. Since I won the title of national champion, naturally I can't do anything.
Don’t do it either, that’s it for today, I still have things to do, let’s see you next time.” After saying that, Qiao Meng left with Baidu and William.
Everyone made a way for them, to be precise, they made way for Qiao Meng. It was as if they had been brainwashed by him and they were extremely respected.
"Oh my god, I find that you are getting better and better at deceiving people now. I have to be more careful around you in the future, otherwise I won't know when I will be deceived." Baidu said with a shudder.
"Tch, if you have the ability, you can be a national champion like me." Qiao Meng said proudly.
And their every move today is actually under the supervision of Qiao Tianfeng, and they are currently reporting the situation to Mr. Qiao.
