Chapter 2205 The Chilling Truth (Part 1)
Lao Yan looked at Ling Feng, opened his mouth and said, "My little friend wants real good jade, but I know a good place that definitely has good jade..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound.
Ling Feng followed the sound and saw Uncle Li having an argument with someone. There was a broken porcelain bottle at his feet. The three or four customers who were standing next to him were also gathered inside.
Lao Yan cast an apologetic look at Ling Feng and immediately walked over: "What happened?"
Something happened in the store, and as the shopkeeper, he naturally had to step in to solve it.
Of course Ling Feng followed him, although it was difficult for Master Li to suffer any apparent loss due to his skills.
The waiters and customers in the store were chattering away, and Ling Feng quickly understood.
It turned out that Uncle Li was looking at some porcelain carefully. By chance, the waiter took out a valuable piece of porcelain at the request of other customers.
Uncle Li was so happy to see the hunter that he wanted to get in front of the customer to have a look.
Unfortunately, this waiter seemed to have just been hired, and he did not show any respect to Uncle Li, a friend of the shopkeeper. He turned sideways to prevent Uncle Li from taking the porcelain, and said: "The shopkeeper said that you should be careful in doing business." First come, first served.”
On his side, the porcelain bottle, which was about 40 centimeters tall, slipped from his hand and shattered into pieces with a crash.
The young man spoke plausibly and placed all the responsibilities on Uncle Li.
To be fair, Master Li was indeed responsible for the young man's mistake, but after all, Master Li had no hand in this thing. If you really want to count, you can't blame him.
It's just that Uncle Li is a kind man, so he didn't see the porcelain and made a fuss about it, sitting there glumly.
After listening, Lao Yan was a little dumbfounded: "Hey, hey, Lao Li, what can I say? We are all old friends, this..."
The customer next to him interrupted: "I saw it clearly just now. If the old man hadn't been so anxious, the young man would definitely not have slipped." The meaning in his words couldn't be more obvious.
A cold light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes, and he realized there was something wrong: "Sir, when I came to the store just now, I didn't seem to see you, right?"
"I just came here and happened to see this scene. Why, why don't you tell me something fair? If this young man pays compensation, he won't be able to pay for the porcelain even if he sells it." The customer glanced at Ling Feng and said, He said with a sense of justice, and other customers nodded.
"Lao Yan, needless to say, I will compensate you according to the price of this piece of porcelain." Uncle Li suddenly stood up and said expressionlessly.
"Old Li, this... this piece of porcelain is priced at 1.58 million. I will pay it according to the cost price, one million. I will fire this guy immediately! What an eye-catching thing, my old friend is here, I want to Look at the porcelain, what can you do to stop it?"
The young boy was obedient and didn't dare to say anything to argue with him. On the contrary, he felt a little happy in his heart.
"One million, okay. It's a pity, this is such a good thing." Uncle Li looked at the porcelain pieces on the ground with some distress, with a look of regret in his eyes.
"How about, Lao Li, I ask someone to repair these porcelain pieces and send them to you?"
Lao Yan asked tentatively.
Master Li shook his head: "No need, the value after repair has also been greatly reduced. Lao Yan has caused you to lose so much money this time, so after repair, you can also pay for part of the price. You know, my martial arts gym just caught fire, although the funds can't be said. I’m nervous. I don’t know exactly how much activity funds I have, otherwise I will definitely pay the original price.”
Ling Feng felt a little relieved, it was okay, his uncle wasn't too stupid and he could still be saved.
"Hey, that's all it can do."
The old man sighed heavily, carefully took out his gloves and gathered the porcelain pieces one by one.
After quickly putting away the porcelain tiles, he looked at Ling Feng apologetically: "This little friend, I'm going to repair the porcelain tiles. After repairing it, I can probably sell it for more than 300,000 yuan. I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you to buy it today. Jade.”
Ling Feng said sincerely: "You are busy first, my matter is not urgent. Uncle Master, let's go back."
Uncle Li thought for a while and then said: "Then let's go back first... Well, this guy didn't mean it, so don't fire him. After all, what he said is right. There is a first-come, first-served basis for all transactions. This time it's me. Reckless."
After saying this, Ling Feng took out the credit card Li Hu gave him, swiped the card to pay, and then left.
About a few dozen meters away from Huibao Pavilion, Ling Feng stopped and felt that no one was following them.
"Uncle Master, let's go back and have a look."
Ling Feng sighed, feeling sorry for his uncle.
"Huh? What are you looking at?" Uncle Li looked at Ling Feng in confusion.
"Uncle, I think there is something wrong here, or there is something wrong with Lao Yan and the young man. They are probably trying to get along! Xiao Linlin, can daddy take you to the roof?"
The messy doubts in Ling Feng's mind kept intersecting, and he became more and more sure of his judgment.
"You mean, Lao Yan is trying to deceive me? This is impossible. Lao Yan and I have known each other for five years, and he is not such a person!" Uncle Li said decisively, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Uncle Master, I know a lot about doubtful jade. The value of this jade is about 250,000 yuan, but your friend said it was the cost price..."
Lingfeng took out the mutton-fat jade he just bought.
"This doesn't mean anything. Such a large store needs to maintain some expenses, which is not a small number. What's more, there is no way to open a business without making money. Besides, in the antique industry, there is a saying that if it does not open for three years, it will last three years after opening. ”
Uncle Li said stubbornly.
"Well, the ancient jade thing doesn't mean anything, but I also have a certain understanding of porcelain. The porcelain just now is a porcelain vase from a folk kiln in the Qing Dynasty. The exquisite product in the folk kiln is worth about one hundred thousand... If you still If you don't believe it, we might as well go to their roof and listen to what they have to say. I think this is when they are relaxed and contented. If there is any problem, it will definitely be revealed to us. Not difficult.”
"Young Master, is everything you said true?"
Uncle Li's voice was a little dry. He couldn't believe that a friend he had always been with could plot against him like this.
"What's fake can't be true, and what's true can't be fake. Let's listen and we'll know everything right away." Ling Feng felt vaguely sympathetic to Master Li. With a personality like Master Li's, if he could get a friend, he would treat him with all his heart. He, however, got this result.
