“Buy shares?”
Upon hearing this, the man felt a wave of confusion wash over him, reflecting, “What are these ridiculous questions? They’repletely off the mark, Dad! Why didn’t you go over the homework you prepared before you came? It’s like taking the first part of a driver’s license test, only to find all the questions about cooking, and I have no idea how to answer them…”
At that moment, Jacob thought, “I’m bing increasingly uncertain. What is this guy really thinking? Is he genuinely willing to invest 250,000?”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) clicked his tongue and remarked, “Maybe this guy is just fishing for information. Do you think if we agree, he’ll expect us to give it to him and then leave our contact details?”
“What if he deceives us and ims this item was sold for 10 million, then asks us to pay the remaining 5 million?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“What if we do go along, and he really does have 10 million? We could call the police, take 250,000 yuan from him, leave him with evidence of the Buddha statue, and then end up in a trap. Isn’t that like setting off andmine?”
Jacob felt ufortable at this thought; his face twisted in distress. He replied, “Didn’t you say the police usually don’t get involved?”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) answered, “Yes, typically they don’t pay much attention. ording to our usual practices, no one would call the police if they were truly taken advantage of. It’s all about maintaining appearances; an antique collector wouldn’t want to be embarrassed by acquiring counterfeit antiques. If word gets out that someone is messing around, who would dare to report it…”
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhou Liangyun on the screen, frustrated, and eximed, “But we can’t tolerate someone who doesn’t y by the rules!”
With that, Zhang Ermao (Cade) became animated, sharing an anecdote: “President Xiao, you wouldn’t believe how many foolish people there are these days. Just a few days ago, I went to a prostitute alone. I paid extra for additional time, but she refused to let me go without it. She grabbed my waistband and wouldn’t budge. In the end, she called the police to report extortion, and both of them ended up getting arrested.”
“Last week, a friend of mine who was reselling fake Maotai got duped. He thought he was selling genuine Maotai, but when the shipment arrived, most of the bottles weren’t authentic. Enraged, he called the police. They managed to arrest the seller of the fake goods, but my friend ended up in trouble too. His warehouse was seized, and he’s still stuck there. Hiswyer warned him that if he can’t arrange bail, he could face actual jail time.”
“A few years back, there was an old man who sold fake meth disguised as a harmless substance online. He assumed that addicts wouldn’t report him for purchasing counterfeit drugs. But one clueless addict did call the police, and both of them got arrested. What can you do when you encounter someone like that?”
Jacob inquired again, “So, what should we do?”<fne9d9> For more chapters visit f?ndnovel</fne9d9>
Zhang Ermao (Cade) clicked his tongue thoughtfully: “Is he doing this on purpose? If he’s trying to mess with us, we need to be cautious about that 250,000. There’s no point in provoking someone stubborn over it. But if he’s genuinely mistaken and believes that the items crafted by Teacher Cheng are from the Northern Song Dynasty, we might still have a chance to y this to our advantage.”
Jacob asked, “How do we y it to our advantage?”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) picked up his phone and typed out another message.
After a moment, the young man in the store spoke anxiously, “Oh no, my brother just sent me a WeChat message asking me toe back and take inventory. I can’t keep this item and can’t let him find out. Boss, don’t worry about following me or telling me how much it’s worth, let alone about investing in it. I just want to sell it! I’ll give you another 100,000 yuan, and you can take it for 400,000 yuan, alright?” At that moment, my heart was racing.
In their eyes, everything hinged on Zhou Liangyun’s response.
If Zhou Liangyun insisted on investing together, it would suggest he had ulterior motives; however, if he epted the reduced price and genuinely wanted to buy, then all would be well. Despite a few bumps along the way, the end result would still align with their n, provided this young man didn’t encounter Zhou Liangyun in the future, which would keepplications at bay.
