Chapter 472: A Bounty of 200 Million (Part II)
"What?! Xiao Yi, please sue me quickly! Elder Li asked anxiously. γ»First and Last
Yi Yang said: "If you don't buy that piece of porcelain and keep your reputation from any damage, there is only one way, either let the thing disappear before you take it over, or let it go out of trouble before you take it over, and only in these two cases will you not suffer the slightest loss." β
"Let the porcelain be news or something wrong?" Li Lao wondered.
"Yes, if you have either of these two things before you take over the porcelain, you can get rid of it and stay out of it." Yi Yang nodded solemnly.
"That's impossible!" Li Lao shook his head vigorously and said, "The thing is now in the auction company's vault, and no one can touch it except for their insiders, how can it be problematic?" β
Yi Yang nodded lightly and said in a deep voice: "So things are not simple, and it is difficult to do." β
"Xiao Yi, is there any better way besides?" Li Lao immediately asked, "Only you know about this matter now, and I can't count on anyone else except you, so I can only ask you for help." β
Yi Yang shook his head without hesitation, and said with a slightly gloomy face: "No, I can only think of such a way." I'm now wondering who the fake chicken cup is coming from, that is, who is the seller behind the scenes. Mr. Li, do you know who the seller is? β
He was naturally sure that it was a fake, but he didn't know if the original owner of the porcelain knew about it, and if he did, then it was a fraud.
Now Li Lao has evidence again, which can prove that it is a "Ming imitation" that makes people talk about the tiger's discoloration, "Ming imitation" is deeply harmful, everyone knows, Yi Yang has always hated "Ming imitation", under normal circumstances, he will not tolerate "Ming imitation" to deceive people, and will find a way to point it out after discovering it, so that people know its true face.
"This ...... I haven't really asked this carefully. Li Lao shook his head in a daze.
Yi Yang smiled bitterly: "Another mysterious seller." However, you still have to inquire and see if you can ask, and knowing the real identity of the seller may help you deal with this matter. β
"Then I'll call and ask to see who the seller is." Li Lao said angrily, "It's really hateful to use fakes to fool people!" β
Yi Yang nodded and said, "If he did it on purpose, it would be really very hateful!" Defrauded three or four hundred million, this is a huge amount of fraud, and the crime is not small! β
"Well, I'm going to check, I must find out clearly, to see who the fake came out of!" Li Lao nodded excitedly, and after speaking, he took out his hand from his pocket and made a quick call.
"How's that going?" Seeing that Li Lao put down his hand, Yi Yang asked.
Li Lao frowned and said: "I asked a lot of relevant people, but no one gave a definite answer, the people at the auction company just said that the seller was from Taiwan." One of the bosses of the bay is surnamed Zhang, but the specific information is not clear to them. β
Yi Yang smiled faintly and said: "Then this is strange, the seller wants to sell something, and he has to collect money for selling something, there must be identity information, but he doesn't want to disclose it, with his explanation, the people at the auction company will definitely not say it without authorization, this is really a mysterious seller, it seems that things are very problematic, it may be a fraud case." Old Li, why don't you call the police directly, anyway, you have evidence to prove that it is a fake, so the word is on your side, and there is no need to worry too much about the adverse consequences. β
Li Lao said: "If you report to the police, it may not be handled well, if only before the auction is concluded, now that the transaction has been finalized, then the multimedia has been reported, and the people in the industry are well known, and now the police refuse to accept things, after the news spreads, it will definitely be affected, some people will say that my eyesight is not good, and I regret it, so who dares to make a deal with me?" β
"That's right." Yi Yang sighed, "The main thing is that this is in the antique shop, the rules are there, even if you accept a fake, you can only swallow it." β
Li Lao nodded and said: "Yes, if you call the police when you encounter this kind of thing, then there will be no rules in the antique shop, and there are a lot of fakes in the hands of people in the industry, how can there be so many genuine products?" β
Yi Yang said: "That being said, your situation is still quite special, involving a huge sum of three or four hundred million, I will call the police to deal with it, which is also a way." β
If it were him, he might not hesitate to choose to call the police and let the police help smooth out this matter and minimize the loss, but the reality is that Li Lao is not him, the other party has been collecting for ten years, and he regards his reputation as life, and he can't tolerate the slightest flaw, so he would rather give up calling the police, and just want to deal with it in other ways that do not damage his reputation.
"Xiao Yi, I think the method you just said is very good, foolproof." Li Lao hesitated for a moment and said, "If that piece of porcelain disappears before it is received, then I don't have to worry about it, just withdraw directly, anyway, the responsibility is not mine, but this matter is implemented, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, it's impossible." β
Yi Yang shook his head and said, "It's not impossible. β
"Really?" Hearing that he seemed to be sure, Li Lao's eyes lit up and said, "Xiao Yi, can you help me with this?" If you help me with this and keep me out of it, then ...... I'll share half of the 300 million, okay?! β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing what Li Lao said, Yi Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, half of 300 million is 150 million, which is a huge amount.
As soon as Li Lao opened his mouth, he offered him a reward of 150 million, how can this not be exciting?
He Yi Yang is not a person who regards money as dung, in fact, he needs money more than anyone else, although he has the help of God's eyes and can often pick up big leaks, but most of the things he picks up will not be sold, and they will be used for collections, so they can't sell for any money, and he needs a lot of money to collect and open a museum, so he needs to accumulate a lot of original funds.
"Elder Li, you said you would take 150 million and let me help you do this?" Yi Yang was stunned and asked.
"Yes!" Li Lao nodded vigorously and said, "That's what I meant." I believe you have a way to do it, in fact, you can do whatever you do, as long as I don't lose my reputation in the end. β
Yi Yang calmed down and said, "Let me think about it first." β
After a pause, I only listened to him continue: "Let that porcelain disappear before noon tomorrow, then you can only try to steal it, but the thing is gone, this is not good, I believe that the auction company is the same as you, and it didn't know at the beginning, if it is taken away like this, then the responsibility of the auction company will be great, they will have to compensate the seller a lot of money, and in the end it will be the liar who will benefit, I don't want to affect innocent people." β
"That'...... So what should I do? Li Lao said anxiously.
Yi Yang said: "Things can not disappear, as I said just now, in addition to disappearing, you can also let him have a problem, such as breaking it, if the thing is broken, you can give up openly." β
"Isn't it the same as if the auction company is broken, and the seller will lose money?" Li Lao wondered.
Yi Yang smiled, shook his head and said, "You don't want to." Let the auction company know that the thing is a fake, so that the seller will not get the money for compensation. β
"After all, it's not that people know that it's a fake, that I have an eye." Li Lao frowned and said.
Yi Yang said: "This is different from the nature of you running to return the goods in person, I think the auction company will not publicize its reputation if it takes into account, it will only be private with the seller, and for you, they dare not have any requirements except for compensation for liquidated damages, because the thing has been broken, and it is useless to say anything." Besides, that's a 'Ming imitation', and it's not a shame to slap the eye of a 'Ming imitation', but it's not an ordinary person who can identify a 'Ming imitation', of course, I said that if this thing gets out, your reputation shouldn't be much damaged. β
"But I still don't want it to get out, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if." Li Lao sighed and said, "It would be great if this incident hadn't happened, I'd rather lose 300 million in business for nothing!" Hey, but it's happened, and there's no time to regret it! β
Yi Yang comforted: "Don't worry, it shouldn't be." β
"Xiao Yi, then you promised to help me do this?" Li Lao said happily, "If nothing happens later, I will add another 50 million, and give you a total of 200 million!" β
"Two hundred million?!" Hearing this, Yi Yang's heart was hot, and he hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll do my best." β
He is fully confident that he will handle this matter well, and he can settle it by making some fuss on the auction company's side in the course of the operation.
"That's great! Thank you! Li Lao said with surprise and joy, in his eyes, Yi Yang is omnipotent in this line of work, and he is absolutely capable of turning the tide.
"You're welcome." Yi Yang shook his head, and then suddenly asked, "Elder Li, who is the person who called you to tell you that the porcelain is a fake?" β
Li Lao shook his head and said, "I don't know either!" Later, I called him and asked him, but I couldn't get through at all. β
"Is there a recording?" Yi Yang asked.
"Not either." Li Lao said, "I was in such a hurry, where did I want to get a phone recording?" β
"Then there should always be a caller ID, show me the phone number." Yi Yang said.
"The phone number is unknown, it can't be found, it's very mysterious!" Li Lao shook his head and said, "But the voice is a young man, about the same age as you, the voice is relatively low, and I don't know anything else, unless I go to the phone or letter company to check the communication records, but things are a bit troublesome." β
Yi Yang said solemnly: "I believe you have a way to check the communication records, it is best to check them out." β
Li Lao asked: "What does the person who investigates the complaint do?" He's doing good, and I should be thankful. β
"So, you've got to find him and thank him." Yi Yang said seriously, he was very curious, is there really such a powerful person in this world, he can see the "Ming imitation" at a young age, he can identify it, it is because he has a magical right eye, and if others can see it, it is a real ability, the eyesight is unimaginable, like such a powerful person, who doesn't want to find out, get to know it well.
"That's right." Elder Li nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll find a way to check it when I go back." Xiao Yi, our matter is so decided, you can help me get this thing done, and after the matter is completed, I will give you 200 million cents. β
"Done!" Yi Yang nodded in agreement.
The bounty of 200 million is within his reach.
