Chapter 152: Such a Scam
Ye Luo and Wu Banxian subconsciously followed the fat man's fingers and looked over there.
I saw that in the middle of the carriage, a middle-aged man dressed as a peasant was discussing with a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, gray hair, and dressed as a high-ranking intellectual.
"I'm really a jade slip from the Tang Dynasty?" The honest peasant looked at the middle-aged senior intellectual with a look of ecstasy, and seemed to be unable to help it, and said aloud excitedly.
The middle-aged senior intellectual nodded, and sighed: "The jade is transparent, the jade slip is engraved with Tang Dynasty characters, and the inscription of the text is Li Shimin, if I look at it well, this jade slip should be the jade slip carved by Li Shimin himself, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty!" ā
"What? The jade slip carved by Li Shimin's own hands? How much is this worth, my mother? "The peasants were ecstatic.
The middle-aged man of the senior intellectual looked serious and said, "Priceless treasure! To measure its value with money is simply a stain! ā
"Really?" After listening to this, the peasant suddenly gritted his teeth, handed the jade slip in his hand to the senior intellectual, and said: "Professor, I'll tell you the truth, this jade slip was inadvertently picked up when I was working in the mountains, if you don't say it, I thought it was just a broken stone, although I am a farmer, but I also know the gratitude of the picture, in this way, this piece of jade slip, I will sell it to you for 100,000 yuan, what do you think?" ā
"One hundred thousand?" The middle-aged senior intellectual was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head firmly and said: "This is a priceless treasure, as long as you get off the train and find an auction house to buy it, it will be at least more than one million, maybe even tens of millions, how can I take advantage of you?" ā
"Alas! I'll tell you the truth, I'm in a hurry to take the train to the city this time! My child is seriously ill and urgently needs money for treatment, I must pay today, otherwise, the hospital will stop treatment, if I can sell this piece of jade directly now, with 100,000 yuan, it is equivalent to saving my son's life! The farmer looked pained.
Then the farmer said: "So, you can accept this piece of jade, anyway, I picked it up, except for you who can read the goods, no one else knows it at all, and I can sell it for 100,000 yuan, I am already very content." ā
After the high-level intellectual stopped, he sighed and said softly: "You are a person who is very content, and it is already very good that people can be content, but the money I have earned over the years has been donated to the poor mountainous areas, and there are only a few thousand yuan left on my body, which is not enough at all." ā
"What then?" The peasant held the jade slip with a somewhat dazed expression.
The senior intellectual's eyes narrowed, and then he said with a serious face: "In this way, let's sell this piece of jade slip to someone who is destined, today, we can sit in a train carriage, which means that we are all people with fate, I will help you ask if anyone buys this piece of jade slip." ā
Subsequently, the senior intellectuals said loudly in the train carriage: "Everyone here, the words of this peasant friend, I think everyone has heard it, if you are interested, come and take a look, alas, it's a pity, a priceless treasure!" ā
When the two people were talking, many people in the train car had already heard it, and at this time, when they heard this sentence again, there were several people in the car immediately, and they immediately came over.
The jade slip of the Tang Dynasty, how much is this worth!
If you buy 100,000 yuan, won't you make money?
That high-level intellectual, at first glance, is a professor at a university, and what he says, will he be wrong?
After listening to this, the fat man didn't talk to Ye Luo and Wu Banxian again, a flash of excitement flashed on his face, and he immediately leaned over.
The fat man has always been more interested in antiques, jade and other things, at this time I heard that it was a jade slip of the Tang Dynasty, or Tang Taizong Li Shimin carved it himself, where can I bear it!
If you buy it, it's like picking up a big leak.
There were many onlookers, some people watched, some people said they wanted to buy, and even had to transfer money, but the farmer said: "I, I don't have a mobile phone or bank card, I just need cash, whoever gives me 100,000 yuan, I will sell it to whom!" ā
The fat man had already tried his best to forcibly squeeze in, and then snatched the jade pendant, touched it carefully a few times, observed it for a while, and said directly: "You jade pendant, I bought it!" ā
When the onlookers looked at it, some people were immediately unhappy, and a man in a suit and leather shoes said: "Why do you buy it?" ā
The fat man touched his stomach and said lightly: "You are rich!" ā
The suit glanced at the fat man and said, "I'll pay 110,000!" ā
The fat man glanced at the man and said disdainfully: "Add 10,000 and still fight with me?" Lao Tzu out of 150,000! ā
The man in the suit and leather shoes then shouted: "160,000! ā
The fat man directly stretched out two fingers and said, "Two hundred thousand!" ā
When the man in the suit and leather shoes heard this, he touched his wallet again, and snorted coldly: "I didn't bring so much money today, if I bring so much money, you don't want to take this thing!" ā
The fat man was even more disdainful, and said: "Don't talk if you don't have money, what's that, what is your bank account number, I'll transfer it to you." ā
The farmer shook his head and said, "IāI don't have a mobile phone or a bank card, just cash." ā
"Just cash?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, touched his bag, took it out and looked at it, the cash was only 130,000, and there was still a difference of 70,000.
The fat man frowned, thought for a while, and said to the peasant: "You wait for me, I'll go get you money, don't sell this jade to others again." ā
As he spoke, the fat man ran directly towards Ye Luo and Wu Banxian.
"Quick, take out all the money on both of you, haha, I'm going to pick it up today!" The fat man was excited.
Ye Luo and Wu Banxian didn't move.
Wu Banxian has been setting up a stall for decades, selling fakes for a lifetime, traveling from south to north, and has a wide range of knowledge, and he can almost see some cats at a glance, but he just said casually: "Fake." ā
"What's fake, paralyzed, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, hurry up and get the money." The fat man is in a hurry.
"How much is missing?" Ye Luo's eyes narrowed and asked.
The fat man said directly: "Seventy thousand! ā
Ye Luo nodded, then stretched out his hand and said, "You give me all the cash on your body, and I will take the jade back for you." ā
"You have seventy thousand?" The fat man was a little surprised.
Ye Luo smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry about it so much, just give me the money, and I'll get the jade back for you." ā
"Really?" The fat man wondered.
"Of course!" Ye Luo said.
The fat man hesitated, thought about it, and gave Ye Luo all the 130,000 cash in his hand, and Ye Luo smiled and walked towards the farmer holding the jade.
