Chapter 371 Wholesale
Tang Qiu looked at the old man like this and felt helpless: "Then, Grandpa Li, as ordinary people, we should protect ourselves and put ourselves in his shoes. What if this situation is really set up for you?"
Mr. Li thought about it and shook his head: "No, why is that?"
Tang Qiu nodded: "Yes, why, this is what we need to consider."
Seeing Tang Qiu so serious, Mr. Li couldn't help but want to laugh, because he always felt that this was impossible. There are so many people collecting in this world, and he had asked others to appraise his things, and 70% of them were fakes.
He just likes this. His daughter is filial and gives him a lot of pocket money, so he buys it casually.
Those things of his really don't attract other people's covetousness.
But since Tang Qiu was so serious, he was willing to cooperate: "Okay, then who do you think he is? Besides, if they arrest me, my things will at most be confiscated, and they won't reach that person's hands."
Tang Qiu looked at Mr. Li seriously: "Do you really think so? You should have noticed the abnormality of the man with glasses just now."
Mr. Li suddenly thought of the man's reluctance to leave.
"You mean?"
Tang Qiu said: "Assuming that this scheme was really set up for you, then this person should be the force behind Boss Wang. Their goal is naturally the things in your hand. Grandpa Li, do you suggest that I go to your place to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li said, "Sure. Come on, if you find something you like, Grandpa Li will give you a few. But I have authenticated those things, and seven out of ten are fake. I don't think you will like them."
Tang Qiu said: "I always feel that they must have a reason for setting this up. I want to go to you to find out if there is any reason."
Tang Qiu didn't expect that Mr. Li's collection was actually in the Changyou Garden where she had just visited yesterday.
Mr. Li explained with a smile: "When I first started collecting, I thought I was very impressive, so I asked Old Chen for this room to store my treasures."
"So, it was Third Grandpa who identified you?"
Tang Qiu could already imagine Old Chen's expression when Mr. Li took him to do the appraisal.
Mr. Li said, "That's right. That's why I said that I definitely don't have anything that would make them want to harm me."
Tang Qiu couldn't help but be curious: "Grandpa Li, you know they cheated you, why did you still buy things from him?"
Mr. Li said indifferently: "You can't say that. I can buy one genuine product out of three from him. You can't buy any anywhere else."
Tang Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So Boss Wang is quite kind?"
Mr. Li said, "I know I'm not the type to collect, but I like it."
As they talked, the two came to the place where Mr. Li placed the treasure.
The moment Mr. Li opened the door, Tang Qiu was dumbfounded. In the three-room house, modern handicrafts were displayed everywhere on the shelves, on the floor, and on the walls.
She could now better imagine Lao Chen's expression.
"Grandpa Li, are you buying these from the factory in bulk?" Tang Qiu asked, pointing at several identical porcelain pieces on the ground.
"Hahaha!"
Before Mr. Li could answer, Old Chen's laughter could be heard: "This girl has summarized it well. Isn't it wholesale? Old Li used a price much higher than the retail price to buy back all the goods produced in the same batch."
Mr. Li was a little embarrassed: "Don't laugh, I just entered the industry at that time and didn't understand these things. I thought that the things they imitated must have an original. Who knew there was no original at all!"
In an instant, Tang Qiu and Lao Chen both laughed.
After laughing, Old Chen said to Tang Qiu: "Girl, what do you think of these? If you are interested in them, Third Grandpa will take you to see what Third Grandpa has collected."
Tang Qiu told Lao Chen what had just happened: "Third Grandpa, I think this matter is a little strange, so I want to see if there is anything they want in Grandpa Li's collection."
Hearing what Tang Qiu said, Lao Chen's expression became serious: "It is better to believe it than not to believe it. You did the right thing. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how Lao Li died."
Lao Chen was also a bit of a collector, and he knew that those people were desperate criminals. If Lao Li really had taken something important, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I'm going to make a phone call, you guys take a look first."
Tang Qiu and Mr. Li continued to look at these things. Mr. Li looked at Tang Qiu strangely and asked: "Qiuqiu girl, do you understand this?"
Tang Qiu shook his head, and Mr. Li felt relieved: "I told you, this thing is very complicated, most people really can't see it..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Qiu said, "I don't know which dynasty it is from, but I can roughly tell the year."
Mr. Li was speechless: "You, what did you say?"
Tang Qiu added: "I'm not good at history, so I can't match the age, but I can roughly tell whether this thing is an antique or not."
Mr. Li didn't believe it and picked one up at random: "What about this one?"
Tang Qiu looked at the item that Grandpa Li was holding nonchalantly: "Grandpa Li, this is one of the few authentic items you have. Are you sure you want to hold it like this?"
Mr. Li looked at the thing in his hand, and then looked at the wholesale goods placed on the ground with it: "How is it possible? Isn't this the same as those things?"
Tang Qiu was afraid that what he said would shock him, so he simply went over and took the thing from him: "Maybe there's nothing wrong with what you just said."
Mr. Li was confused: "Which sentence?"
Tang Qiu repeated what Grandpa Li had said before: "Maybe if you buy too many, you really bought the originals of the imitations. Grandpa Li, this is definitely something of some age, it's different from those!"
Mr. Li's eyes widened: "No, no way?"
As they were talking, Lao Chen walked in: "What are you talking about?"
Mr. Li pointed at what Tang Qiu was holding and said, "She said this is the real thing."
Old Chen walked up to Tang Qiu and took a look at what Tang Qiu was holding: "Hey, I really found the real thing for you."
Mr. Li was even more incredulous, but in an instant, he patted his chest and said, "I said I have a talent for collecting."
But seeing that Tang Qiu and Lao Chen were looking at him speechlessly, Lao Li laughed to hide his embarrassment.
But suddenly, he looked at Tang Qiu again: "I didn't expect you to actually understand this."
Old Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with Tang Qiu knowing this. After all, she was the one who could cure the strange curse on him.
