Chapter 506 The next person to become rich overnight will be you!
Gu Mobai frowned and shook his head:
“I didn’t expect that this batch of goods was all fake.
This counterfeiting method is so new that I have never seen it before.
But what is fake can never be real, and the truth will always be revealed.
Take that pastel vase, for example; the colors look too bright, and it doesn’t have the calmness that an old object should have.”
Lin Panpan sighed: "People nowadays are so bold. I don't know who is behind these fake products."
Gu Mobai waved his hand and said:
"No matter who it is, as long as it's fake, we won't touch it.
I've seen so many authentic items at the back, so I might as well just take a break!"
There are quite a lot of items in this auction, more than twenty in total.
But until the end, Gu Mobai didn't raise his hand once, but Wang Quezi took them all in one go.
When the show was over, Wang Quezi leaned on his cane and said to the fat man in a sarcastic tone:
"I thought you had such great helpers! But you didn't find anything?
With so many good things, is he too picky, or is he short of money? "
The fat man curled his lips and said with a forced smile:
"Whether I have money or not is none of your business.
But congratulations to Boss Wang for getting so many treasures in one go."
Wang Quezi laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and his crutch stabbed the ground with a thud.
"I love to hear that! I don't have any other skills, but I've saved up some money from doing business over the years, so buying a few things isn't a big deal.
It's you! Fatty, I heard your store is barely making ends meet?
I don't think you have the eye for this kind of thing. You'd better quit the antique business as soon as possible, or you'll end up losing everything!"
The fat man was so angry that his face turned red: "Whether I do business or not is none of your business! Just don't try to steal my business!"
Wang Quezi shrugged, looking scoundrel-like: "Business is about mutual consent. People are happy to come to my place, so I can't just chase them away, right?"
While they were arguing, the auctioneer suddenly shouted:
"Now we enter the gambling phase! This batch of materials has just been shipped from Myanmar, and the mining area is very authentic!
Look at this piece of black Wusha skin, the python belt is clear and the pine flowers are obvious. It is a good material for ice jadeite!
There is also this piece of white salt sand, the skin is so old that it has turned gray. If you cut it open, it might turn out to be glass!
Bosses, keep your eyes open, you could be the next one to get rich overnight!
As soon as they heard that they were going to gamble on stones, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became heated.
Everyone knows that although nine out of ten people lose money gambling with this thing, some people have become rich overnight with it. The fat man rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining: "Boss, I have to pick out some good materials this time!"
Gu Mobai patted his shoulder: "Gambling on stones is all about luck, don't take it too seriously."
The fat man waved his hands anxiously:
"Boss, you don't understand! This batch of materials looks like it has something to offer. If we can mine Imperial Green Jadeite, we'll make a fortune!
The price can increase dozens or even hundreds of times!"
Lin Panpan also became interested and said with a smile: "It sounds interesting. I want to try my luck too."
In fact, she has some knowledge about gambling on stones and feels confident.
Seeing her anticipation, Gu Mobai said, "If you want to play, just buy a few and try them out. Just for fun."
The fat man stood there with his mouth open, muttering in his heart, why does Gu Mobai spoil his wife so much?
Lin Panpan smiled and tugged at Gu Mobai's sleeve:
"Let's go and look at the materials first.
According to the rules, it will be put outside for people to see before filming begins."
Gu Mobai nodded and accompanied her to the stone area.
The stones were piled up like a small hill in the center of the site, and raw stones covered with soil were scattered everywhere.
Lin Panpan squatted down, picked up a piece of black leather with a python belt, and shone a strong flashlight on it.
In her previous life, she followed Zhou Jun to gamble on stones, paid a lot of tuition fees, and even found a master to learn the tricks of judging the materials.
Although I can't say that I'm always accurate, my eye for materials is much better than that of ordinary people.
As she looked at them, she calculated in her mind that this piece didn't have enough water, that piece had too many cracks, until she saw a piece of material with a white salt sand skin.
When she shone the flashlight on it, a faint spiritual aura was revealed, and her eyes lit up instantly. There was something special about this piece!
The stone area was filled with the smell of damp earth. Lin Panpan squatted down and rummaged through the gravel. More than twenty raw stones of different sizes were piled up into a small hill at her feet.
These scraps were only worth one or two hundred yuan, and were worthless in the eyes of others, but her eyes lit up as if she had found a treasure.
"You think you can get a bargain with just this little bit of junk?" Wang Quezi walked over with his cane.
"The real good stuff has already been sifted out and auctioned off. You two are wasting your time here.
But don't worry, I, Wang, will take care of everything at the auction!"
Gu Mobai's lips curled up in a half-smile: "Boss Wang, are you so sure? Are you sure you can eat all the ingredients?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone who was watching the excitement stopped what they were doing and their eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.
"Hmph!" Wang Quezi's crutch slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"I've been in the underworld for decades, and I've never seen anything I can't afford!
I’m afraid some people will boast about their ability but won’t even be able to raise their bidding board when the time comes!”
Gu Mobai lowered his eyes and chuckled:
"Okay, I hope Boss Wang can still be so tough later.
Don’t go to the auction house, or you won’t even have a chance to regret it.”
Lin Panpan was too lazy to listen to this person's bragging and directly selected more than 20 pieces of material.
The fat man swallowed and said, "Sister-in-law, this material is not cheap, it's 200 yuan. How about we think about it again?"
In just a short while, 4000 yuan was spent. The key point is, how can the materials here be good?
The stones were piled up like a small mountain, and the stones underneath could not be turned out without digging for a long time.
Lin Panpan squatted beside the pile of stones, her eyes wide open, picking them one by one.
Gu Mobai stood beside her, and he bent down and moved whatever piece she pointed to.
The two men worked in the pile of stones for a long time and picked out more than ten stones.
Lin Panpan stood up, dusted off her hands, and said, "That's about it. Let's leave it at that for today. We'll pick more slowly next time."
At this time, the auctioneer held up a loud speaker and shouted: "Boss! One-hour break, the second auction will start soon!"
In fact, everyone knows that the auction deliberately takes such a long time for people to view the stones, just to sell more things.
During the breaks, the venue served various fruits and snacks. The service looked attentive, but to put it bluntly, they were just trying to coax everyone into spending more money.
As soon as everyone sat back in their seats, they saw several iron racks in front of the auction, filled with stones of various sizes.
The auctioneer shouted loudly with the microphone:
"Hello, bosses! These materials have had small windows opened in advance. Look at this one, the green is showing through the window!
If you see green when you open the window, you have a greater chance of finding good material! Now you can take turns to come and take a look, and if you like it, make an offer! "
The crowd immediately became agitated, and Lin Panpan and Gu Mobai followed the crowd to the front of the stage.
Lin Panpan used a flashlight to carefully illuminate each piece.
