Chapter 15: The same thing
The milky white jade plate is smooth and round, and when you touch it, you can faintly feel a warm feeling, even if people like Wang Dong who don't know how to do it know, this must be a good jade, but about the age, it is not something that you can judge.
Things have come to this point, Wang Dong has gradually become vigilant, as the understanding is more and more deep, how do you feel that this transaction is completely false, a person's antique problem can be understood, but so many people's antiques can have problems together? The so-called upfront fee is more of a faΓ§ade now.
Thinking of this, Wang Dong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Li, can you tell me what is going on?" How did you come up with the idea of putting your jade brand on Fengmao to consign? β
Li Jiancheng showed a helpless smile on his face, shook his head and said, "Actually, when it comes to this matter, I was smart but was mistaken by being smart. β
Unlike Xiao Weimin, Li Jiancheng's family background is quite solid, and he is not in a hurry to use money, when he has nothing to do, he likes to visit the antique market to see if there are anything that can appreciate in value, buy it back himself, and then find other channels to sell these things after a few years.
Not to mention, he has been playing antiques for more than 20 years, although he has been deceived by others, but on the whole, he has gained a lot, and among these friends around, he can be regarded as a well-known collector.
The jade plate in his hand also has seven or eight years in his hand, and it cost him more than 100,000 yuan when he bought it, so many years have passed, he estimates that the value of this card should have doubled, so he took out the jade card, found a few companies that usually trade and hung it out, just waiting for a buyer to bid.
After a few days, a few customers discussed the price of this jade brand with him, but he always disliked the price given by others was too low, and felt that his jade brand should be more than this price, so he never made a move.
When I got to a few days ago, I suddenly received an unknown phone call, the person on the phone said that she was Miss Qian of Fengmao Culture, I heard that Mr. Li has a jade plate of the Song Dynasty here, and it happened that a customer of the company saw it, and he liked this jade card very much, and was ready to start, and asked Mr. Li if he wanted to make a move.
Of course I wanted to make a move, but Li Jiancheng had not been in the line for a day or two, so he naturally knew that there were too many scam companies now, so he was a little cautious and asked if he would charge the upfront fee or something.
Miss Qian on the phone swore that we Fengmao would not charge upfront fees, but would only charge a commission of 5%.
The proportion of five percent commission is not very high, and Li Jiancheng couldn't help but be a little tempted after listening to Miss Qian's words, but his own vigilance still made him hesitate, and after thinking about it for a day, he decided to go to this Fengmao company to take a look first.
Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with the results of the inspection, Fengmao's scale was even much larger than the companies he traded, and there were many pieces of collection consignment sold by customers in the company's collection room, and there were actually some antiques that made him smack.
After the inspection, Li Jiancheng did not suspect it, and after returning home, he directly put his jade plate in the collection room of Fengmao Company, and what surprised him was that just three days later, the young lady surnamed Qian called him again and told him a great news that his jade card had already been matched, and the price was still a sky-high price that Li Jiancheng had never thought of, one million yuan.
More than 100,000 bought things, can be sold for 1 million, this can make Li Jiancheng happy, rushed to Fengmao company, and also saw the buyer, the other party's performance showed a bearing that convinced him, this time there is no doubt, don't think too much, Li Jiancheng signed a contract with the other party.
In Li Jiancheng's view, after the contract has been signed, the transaction is completed, although it will be appraised once at the request of the buyer, but this is just a passing scene, jade is from the Song Dynasty, this is simply something that cannot be faked.
Three days later, Li Jiancheng received a call from Miss Qian, in which Miss Qian said apologetically: "The results of the appraisal are out, Mr. Li, the jade plate of the Song Dynasty you took is not the jade of the Song Dynasty, but the jade of the Ming Dynasty, so I am sorry that the transaction has been canceled, and because this is your reason, you must also deduct the deposit of 50,000 yuan you paid." β
As soon as Li Jiancheng heard the news, the whole person was stupid, this jade was from the Song Dynasty, how could it be wrong? This is not only a conclusion made by himself, but also a lot of masters who have been slapped, no, this jade will definitely not be from the Ming Dynasty.
The unwilling Li Jiancheng quarreled with the other party on the phone, but no matter what kind of evidence he came up with to prove that this jade was from the Song Dynasty, the other party didn't listen to what he said at all.
How could Li Jiancheng be willing to let his money be deducted like this, so he came to Fengmao Company for the second time, this time he looked at these people as if they were so friendly as before, and they ignored each other, even Miss Qian changed her previous face, and handed over a piece of paper lightly, either you sign the appraisal results and take the things back, or you go to the police, whatever you choose.
Such an arrogant attitude naturally made Li Jiancheng very unwilling, so he dialed 110, and then Wang Dong and Xiao Ling also saw what happened later, the police came, but it didn't have any effect, and according to the existing proof, it can only prove that you Li Jiancheng is the one who is making trouble.
It is less than a generation, this method is exactly the same as Xiao Weimin's experience of being deceived, Wang Dong pondered the whole process of the matter, and found that the contract was the most critical part of the matter, and it was after signing the contract that the other party became fearless.
Wang Dong pondered for a moment and asked curiously, "Mr. Li, is the contract you signed still here?" β
"Yes." Li Jiancheng nodded, anyway, the current contract is no different from waste paper, so he handed the contract to Wang Dong, and after taking another sip of wine, he sighed and said, "I, I've been careful all my life, but I didn't expect to fall for someone else." β
Complaining is certain, if you don't even complain and let people complain, wouldn't it make Li Jiancheng feel aggrieved.
Wang Dong put the contract in front of him, first read it roughly, and when he finished reading it, he always felt as if there was something missing on it, but what was missing?
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Dong flipped through the contract again, and when he flipped through it for the second time, he suddenly noticed a small detail, and Wang Dong asked curiously: "Mr. Li, what is the price that Fengmao agreed with you?" β
"A million." Li Jiancheng remembers this number clearly.
Okay, a million.
Wang Dong handed the contract to Li Jiancheng again, and then said: "Mr. Li, you look through this contract now, where is the word 1 million marked on it?" β
"What?" Li Jiancheng couldn't help but scream in surprise, and then after taking the contract over and flipping it over, he couldn't help but curse, and then said, "I'll settle accounts with them." β
