Chapter 44 If one plan fails, another plan is born
In line with their trust in me, Chen Cheng and Lu Yunchuan confirmed in the warehouse that the real and fake goods were placed separately, and we opened the store as usual.
On the day of the opening, I also kept the fake wood carving as a "permanent exhibition".
Three days later, six people came to my shop dressed quite decently.
I didn't have to look at the clothes to know they were from the Antique Society.
Tao Ronghua and Zhou Jianguo are all among them.
I haven't seen the rest of them.
"Boss Shen, it's been a long time."
"I'm doing it routinely."
Tao Ronghua walked up to me with a smile on his face, "The association received a report before, you have sold fakes here, let's take a look." ”
Report it yourself and check it yourself, it's really a cover-up.
"No problem, I'm here, only selling the real thing. As long as there is a fake, you can tear down my signboard at any time. ”
I smiled respectfully and walked over to the fake sculpture in front of me, "Don't call this a fake I'm selling." ”
I pointed to the sculpture and smiled at Tao Ronghua, waiting for Tao Ronghua to be recruited.
Fake? Of course there is, just to wait for Tao Ronghua to find out!
Zhou Jianguo on the side nodded slightly.
Soon, the entire store was inspected by six people from the Antique Association, including Tao Ronghua and Zhou Jianguo, and there were no fakes.
"Next up is the warehouse."
Tao Ronghua didn't say it yet, but I said it first, "I heard that the warehouse also needs to be inspected, right?" ”
"Forget it, it's all confirmed, these are all true, and the warehouse will forget it."
Tao Ronghua spoke slowly, he knew very well what was in the warehouse.
"No, Mr. Tao, as a member of the Antique Association, you bring people to inspect it, how can you do it if you don't inspect the whole thing?"
This time the initiative is in my hands.
At first, Zhou Jianguo didn't understand my thoughts, but he chose to believe me.
"Mr. Tao, we used to inspect the warehouse during our previous routine inspections, so we can't cheat for personal gain just because Boss Shen is on the same street as you, right?"
Zhou Jianguo also smiled and helped me "speak".
"Okay then."
"Boss Shen, I originally thought that I could just take a look at those fake news, but since you asked for it, I could only do it."
Tao Ronghua said very hard, and his face was a little ugly.
After all, the report of fakes and inspections was made before I exposed him for my goods.
He and I both knew what I was going to do.
Tao Ronghua paused, thought for a while, and then walked to the basement with someone from the Antique Association.
Of course, the two distinct batches of goods in the basement are neatly placed.
"These are fakes."
Dedicated members of the antique association recognized the pile of fakes at once.
"Shen Fan, what's going on?"
Zhou Jianguo was a little surprised, he had obviously secretly reminded why there were still fakes in the warehouse, and there was even more than one!
Or even offer to ask for an inspection of the basement?
"Mr. Tao knows this matter better."
But seeing me smiling, he said slowly, "The head of Mr. Tao's subordinates threatened me to exchange my goods for fake goods before. Two days before this incident, when Mr. Tao was present, he had already made it clear. ”
Regarding this matter, every time I say a word, Tao Ronghua's face is ugly.
I guess he didn't realize it until I volunteered to inspect the basement.
At the scene, I did not leave Tao Ronghua any "fault tolerance" of improvisation.
He can only admit it!
"Yes, Boss Shen told me about this."
"The evidence is conclusive, and it is indeed the wrong head of my subordinates."
Tao Ronghua gritted his teeth, quickly adjusted, and said calmly with a smile, "I have already dismissed my master, and I have promised to compensate Boss Shen accordingly." ”
"I'm also afraid of the master's denial, so I'll keep these goods first, and when he comes to compensate, I'll destroy them."
Hearing my words, Zhou Jianguo smiled, and then he understood why I was so "abnormal"!
Originally, this was a "game" where Tao Ronghua was looking for someone to make things difficult, but by mistake, it became an opportunity for me to give Tao Ronghua a face!
"Now that the matter is clear, there should be no fakes in Boss Shen's hall."
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming awkward, Zhou Jianguo slowly spoke, "Let's go back first, and then we will notify you to participate in the test, and when the time comes, you can choose whether to join the club or not." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Jianguo smiled, and Tao Ronghua left my hall with an embarrassed face.
"Brother Shen!"
Lu Yunchuan just came back.
In the past few days of waiting for the review, I asked Lu Yunchuan to do some other things.
Go to Ronghua antiques to see the two authentic paintings of Tang Yin.
"How's it going?"
I turned to meet him.
"I followed them for the past two days, and no one bought those two paintings, and they would be sent to another warehouse every day."
Lu Yunchuan said softly, "And there will be a car in the middle of the night." ”
"Give me their schedule, you go get busy first."
I nodded slightly and patted Lu Yunchuan on the shoulder.
After Lu Yunchuan gave me a timetable, he turned around and went to work.
"Chen Cheng, I have something I want to discuss with you, you let Xiao Chen, Xiao Luo and Lu Yunchuan manage it temporarily."
With that, I took Chen Cheng upstairs.
"What's wrong? Is it a problem that there is no business lately? ”
Chen Cheng thought I was going to talk to him about business.
"Do you remember the first time things were stolen from the store, those two paintings?"
"In the Glory Curios."
I said seriously.
"They're the thieves?"
Chen Cheng's temper rose instantly, but under my comfort, she did not immediately "take revenge".
"Without clear evidence, Tao Ronghua can shake the pot at any time."
I shook my head, "I'm going to go to their warehouse to have a look, since they stole mine, the previous ones should have been stolen, you can help me find the owner of the store here before in the past two days." ”
"Ask them what was stolen."
I think before opening, I should be impressed by what was stolen.
If a similar collection can be found, a group of bosses to prove it should be enough to bring down Tao Ronghua.
"Okay, I'll ask."
Saying that, Chen Cheng went downstairs to continue to take charge of the hall, and I walked to the Ronghua antique shop.
Tao Ronghua is not here, after all, he has to report to the Antique Association.
At this time, I was able to come in and take a look at the two authentic paintings of Tang Yin that originally belonged to me.
The people in the Ronghua antique shop saw me as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Boss Shen, why are you here again today?"
"The former head of the hall is preparing money, and the losses of those transfers will be compensated in the next few days."
The new head of the hall walked with a smile.
I realized that this was also a difficult Lord to deal with.
"No, I'm not in a hurry about this, after all, it's a lot of money."
I smiled and said, "I'm just here to see your hall, my hall has just opened, and I still have to learn some experience from you." ”
Although the words were tactful, this new master could see at a glance that I was here to spy on me.
