Chapter 113: Solution
"Charles, I really didn't expect you to move to such a place, why, your sister finally kicked you out?"
Albert glanced around Charles' dwelling with interest, he was dressed as well as usual, his brown hair was carefully combed, his thin silk tie pinned to his neck, and his delicate features, he looked like a young actor who had just run out of the theater.
Looking at such a handsome young man, who would have thought that this playboy is now spending all day drinking, causing a lot of romantic affairs, and still owing a lot of debts?
"Do you think I want to live here? It's not like there's no way. Charles sighed softly, "It's not because of bad luck that something hell happened. ”
In front of his old friend Albert, Charles has always spoken a lot more casually, not as much as usual.
"Bad luck?" Albert frowned, then smiled and asked Charles, "What, is it recognized?" ”
"Yes, I just don't know if they're going to denounce me, so I can't take any chances, so I'll have to come out and hide." Charles directly admitted, "I hope I'm just scaring myself." ”
"I told you not to take any chances!" Albert's expression became much more solemn, "Think about how many people you will be scared now?" Your sister must be worried about you right now. ”
"Okay, I know for myself, you don't have to persuade anymore." Charles interrupted him directly.
"You're really ......" Albert saw that Charles was so determined, so he had to shake his head to show helplessness, "When did it start?" I will take you to Lucien's house for dinner that day. You've already moved out? ”
"Yes."
"What if Weishenme didn't tell us at that time?"
"What's the use of what you were told at the time? It's just a matter of worrying you in vain. And I had something else to do. ”
"You mean there's something to do with me right now?" Albert heard what Charles meant.
"Yes." Charles blinked, then lifted his hand to point to a corner of the room.
"How......?" Albert thought it was strange, and then followed Charles's hand and looked that way.
He found that there were several boxes there.
"What's in the box?"
"Won't you just go and see for yourself?" Charles's voice was soft.
Albert walked over. Then a box was opened.
"Oh, good fellow! It's all antiques! He immediately exclaimed, "Where did you get that?" ”
Then, he took a disk from the box and examined it carefully. After a few moments, he looked up at Charles again, and his eyes were filled with suspicion. "You're not going to spend a fortune on these things, are you? Weishenme can't come and ask me beforehand? ”
"Yours, Albert." Charles clapped his hands in approval, "I can see it at once." These are all fakes. ”
As a professional playboy and loser, Albert's appreciation for antiques was much higher than that of the Charles, and it soon became clear that the objects were fakes.
"What are you doing with all this bunch of fakes?" Albert was a little surprised, "Take it and sell it?" ”
"Take it and sell it." Charles looked right. But under Albert's contemptuous eyes. He quickly sighed, "Well, well, I don't want to do that. But I got into the water in my head, and got me a bunch of things like this to use as funds to send me away......"
"Well, Charles, I'm not going to say anything about you," Albert said with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. "You're pitiful."
……………………
Moments later, Charles and Albert were each seated on a box. Sit opposite each other.
"Albert, my friend, now you have to help me see, what can we do to get rid of all this?" Charles rested his chin on his hand, his expression a little depressed.
Having acquired a batch of fake antiques from Mr. Carrion, Charles is now faced with a huge problem: how to sell all the fake antiques in his hands as quickly as possible?
This is not as simple as it seems, it is an area that he is not familiar with, and if he stumbles around like a headless fly alone, not only will he not achieve the intended goal, but he may cause himself unexpected trouble. So he found Albert, who had both eyesight and some dealings with the three sects and nine streams, and would always be more familiar with the door than himself.
Albert did not answer directly, but took out a few more pieces of porcelain from the box and looked at them carefully for a while, rubbing them a few times with his hands.
"Well, it's well done, it can be seen that it was done by a professional craftsman, and it has a little bit of realism. Charles, the people who do this have some skills! ”
"It's not like you'll be able to see it at a glance." Charles was a little depressed.
"It's different, don't forget how many years I've been playing with this stuff since I was a kid?" Albert's answer was a lot of relief to Charles, "Usually not so many people can see it. ”
"Do you think this thing sells well?" Charles hurriedly asked.
"It's not easy to sell." Albert shook his head again, "Generally speaking, people who are willing to spend a lot of money on this kind of thing will either have some ability themselves, or they will not be afraid to spend a little more money to find someone to help identify it......"
"Then why don't we even buy that appraiser?" Charles came up with his own solution.
"How do you know who he's going to go to for identification? And even if you know, what if the purchase is not successful? Charles, it's not that simple. ”
"Sure enough, you're doing this," Charles was questioned, but instead of being angry, he felt a little relieved, "So what do you think you should do?" ”
Albert was lost in thought, but Charles did not speak, so as not to disturb his train of thought, and the room suddenly fell silent.
"It's not easy to sell in China, there are too many connoisseurs, and they can't raise the price." After a long while, Albert spoke, "Charles, we have to think about reality. If you want to sell these things, go to foreigners. Britain and Russia are fine, but if they can't do it, they will be sold to the United States, and there are rich people in these places who want to buy antiques from our country. ”
"You have the same idea as I do." Charles nodded. "I'm also looking for foreigners."
In addition to what Albert said, Charles actually has another consideration - since the organization has always relied on this to make a lot of money, it must have a fixed distribution channel for a long time, and if it sells like this in China, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect its own people. Although the people of Carrion should not be too concerned, it is better to avoid this kind of thing if it can be avoided.
However, this is easier said than done. It's a hassle to do, who do I go to?
Charles knew an Englishman, but he certainly couldn't go over to trick her.
"Charles. I have another idea. ”
"What's the idea?"
"Is your kind of goods a batch or can you do it for a long time?" Albert asked coldly.
Charles thought for a moment.
"It should be able to supply for a long time, but the amount may not be very large, and the time is not fixed."
"So. I think you might consider finding a home. Albert replied. Find a helper. ”
"Next?" Charles quickly understood what Albert meant, "You mean you want me to find a foreign agent?" ”
"Yes, only in this way can you deal with all these goods at once, otherwise customers will be deceived one by one, and when will you have to cheat alone? The risk of exposure is also high. Albert reached out and patted Charles on the shoulder, "And if you find an agent, you will earn a lot less." But the advantage is that you don't have to take risks, you only need to make a profit with a single hand. If it can be supplied for a long time, then in fact, the income will not be very low......"
"Makes sense." Charles agreed with Albert's statement, then frowned again, "But this agent is not easy to find." ”
Albert smiled, and there was a lot of meaning in his smile.
"Can you help me find this kind of person?" Charles, who had been friends with him for many years, certainly understood what his look meant, and he didn't plan to go around in circles with him, "So who is it?" ”
Albert suddenly turned his face away, and his voice lowered a lot.
"Charles, you know, I owe a lot of money to other people."
"It's okay, my friend, as long as you can help me find this kind of person, I won't be reluctant to give you benefits, if you have money, everyone will make it......" In times of need, Charles has never been a stingy miser, he understands the truth that you have to spend money to earn money, "In fact, I'm glad to be able to help you." ”
"Xiexie, Charles." Albert nodded, his eyes a little expectant, "How about ten percent?" ”
"Fifteen percent, five percent of the profits, I can give you." Charles didn't have the slightest idea of bargaining with him, but directly raised the pay, "As long as you can really do what you just said." ”
Anyway, this thing is just a hand of its own, and if it can make money, it will be a big profit, and it doesn't matter if you give a little bit to your friends.
"That's great! Charles, I knew you were always a friend! Albert reached out and shook Charles' hand, "Deal!" ”
"Now you can tell me, who do you think you can go to?"
"A second secretary at the Russian embassy, but I think that's just a superficial identity," Albert replied, "and he often hangs out with us in the English club, and I can see that this man is not simple, and he must have some ability, and he is very good at spending money." ”
"Are you sure?" Charles asked.
"Five or sixty percent." Albert replied seemingly casually, but Charles knew he was sure, "I can find someone else." ”
"Great!" Charles sighed, "You have been in contact with him lately, to test his bottom, and if you can really make an appointment with him, I will talk to him." Don't worry, as long as it's done, I will definitely pay you as promised. ”
"If I have anything to worry about you, leave it to me."
"If it works......" Charles suddenly became a little excited.
If it can really be done, then you can open up a way to make money other than writing books, and you can make money steadily. Of course, this seems illegal, though...... Who cares? If...... If...... If you really can......
"Fran's paintings are also very good." As if thinking of something, he said unconsciously.
"Charles! Are you crazy? We're breaking the law! Albert's shouting woke Charles up.
"Well, I'm just kidding......" Charles smiled sheepishly. (To be continued......)
