Shi Yunnan was stunned for a second, then curled his lips, speechless.
He was really unlucky, but he just randomly selected a shop blindly, and he was lucky enough to win the 'black shop'.
Shi Yunnan turned around and walked back to the original position without any fear, "Boss, I just handled it with care, where is the crack?"
The middle-aged boss showed a distressed look and pointed to a crack on the back of the jade carving, "Look, it's here!"
Shi Yunnan followed his fingertips to see—
This jade carving is based on a 'bamboo basket', which is filled with peaches, bergamot and other objects implying happiness, longevity and well-being.
In general, the craftsmanship of the engraving is smooth enough to show the skill of the engraver.
But this seemingly perfect work, at this moment, there is an inconspicuous crack of six or seven centimeters in the 'bamboo basket' on the back.
If you don't look closely, it's not really eye-catching.
But after a closer look, it does affect the price of the whole work.
"See? You bumped into this place. I can't buy it if I want to change it. You have to lose money!"
Shi Yunnan shook his head and retorted with a smile, "Boss, isn't your porcelain touch technique too old-fashioned? It's too obvious to deceive people."
"Boy, what did you say?"
The boss put the jade sculpture back on the flannel, pointed to the surveillance cameras on the left and right sides, "You can see clearly, we have surveillance in our store!"
He rolled up his thin lining sleeves, and looked like he's not a loser, "The first point is that you entered my shop yourself, and this jade carving is what you value, and you agreed to open the cabinet to see it. Yes or no?"
"that is!"
The clerk naturally spoke to his boss, "At first glance, you are a young layman. There is a saying in our business that you can't handle jade. Do you know what it means?"
Shi Yunnan nodded calmly, "I know."
Jade is a valuable item that is easy to bump and touch. If the seller and the buyer pass it directly by hand, it is often difficult to determine the responsible party in case of loss.
On the other hand, human hands tend to secrete sweat, which can easily leave sweat stains on the surface of jade, which can easily affect the gloss and cleanliness of the jade, and sometimes cause difficult cleaning.
Therefore, there is a saying in the industry that 'Jade is not enough'.
In recent years, in the process of passing jade, some sellers deliberately let go of the jade without waiting for the buyer to gain firmness, and make 'touch porcelain' to corrupt money.
There are many such unscrupulous merchants, and serious sellers and buyers pay special attention to this problem.
Having said that, this store does take extra care in this regard.
The middle-aged boss continued, "The second point, I wear special gloves, and the counter is covered with flannel. When I showed it to you just now, this jade carving was completely fine, and you didn't raise any objections, didn't you?"
"Later, after you touched it with your hand, it didn't take three seconds to return to my hand, and this crack appeared! How dare you say that it wasn't because you put too much force on the jade carving and broke it?"
The middle-aged boss is full of confidence, "Young man, even if you call the police, I'm not afraid!"
Shi Yunnan looked at the jade carving on the counter, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes—
When the boss showed him just now, he was experienced and deliberately dragged the crack at the bottom of his back with his palm. After Shi Yunan took over, he just looked through the front roughly, which allowed the former to blackmail.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Shi Yunnan noticed it immediately after taking over, the boss would probably use other methods to push the 'pot' on him.
After all, this way of touching porcelain by the boss is definitely not the first time!
Just thinking about it, eight or nine young and middle-aged customers wearing Little Red Riding Hoods poured into the store, and it looked like a tour group came in to visit.
The middle-aged boss and the clerk gave a wink, and the latter quickly comprehended and shouted—
"Hey, all the bosses are here to judge! This young guy broke the jade in our shop and still doesn't recognize it..."
The uncles and aunts of the tour group of this age are the favorites to join in the fun. When they heard about this, they gathered around them. In addition, they also attracted a few FITs outside the store who knew about jade.
The clerk saw more people, and repeated what he had just said to Shi Yunnan, just to say—
There are surveillance cameras in their own store to prove everything. It is definitely not that they deliberately touched the porcelain to blackmail. It is obvious that Shi Yunnan knocked and damaged their jade, resulting in no way to sell it at a good price.
The uncles and aunts believed it to be true, while the few jade FITs looked at each other in dismay.
The water in this jade trade is deep.
Some stores are sincere and kind to old customers, but they are a 'kill' to new customers.
This young man is just too inexperienced, so he fell into the trap and fell into the trap. So far, he can only let the store slaughter the money.
Shi Yunnan fiddled with his cell phone. Facing the gathered eyes around him, he asked, "Boss, how much do you want to buy this jade?"
When the middle-aged boss heard this, he sighed in his heart—
Small sample.
What can I do even if touching porcelain is obvious and old-fashioned? It's not that you have to obediently take the bait and give money.
The middle-aged boss pretended to be sensible and took out the sign in the cabinet, "Don't say I cheated on you, just go according to the listed price, 300,000."
Shi Yunnan stared at the boss who opened the lion's mouth, his eyes gradually darkened, and the surrounding uncles and aunts who were listening to the lively suddenly talked about—
"Oh, it costs 300,000 yuan for something like this? I think it's just average."
"Oh, this unfortunate child, why are you so careless?"
"300,000? Is this worth so much? Is it enough to buy a nice car?"
There are jade FITs who are knowledgeable and can't stand it anymore, so they stood up and said something for Shi Yunnan, "Boss, this uncle, aunt and young guy don't know how to do it, but we understand, as far as the texture of your suet jade is, it's all worth it. Not three hundred thousand."
"Sir, what you said is wrong. The objects in our house are all meticulously carved, and the works of art that the sculptor spent time and painstakingly producing, all of which have special craftsmanship certificates. "
"Okay, boss, you can still get a discount when buying and selling complete finished products."
Another FIT interrupted with a smile, both openly and secretly towards the 'unlucky' Shi Yunnan.
"Some words are boring. Since this young man is willing to spend money to buy lessons, you can just report the actual price."
The middle-aged boss looked at Shi Yunnan, who didn't say a word, and pretended to hesitate for a moment, "Well, I'll give you a half discount, 150,000, no less."
A few words and a few words were suddenly half cheaper.
An uncle saw the doorway inside, and muttered with his hands behind his back, "It's not kind to let the kid be trapped."
Shi Yunnan took half a step, picked up the jade carving product again, carefully examined the crack at the bottom, and raised his lips subtly, "Boss, I've thought about it, should I call the police?"
"..."
The boss got stuck, obviously he didn't expect Shi Yunnan to still have this idea.
"Didn't I say it all? We have surveillance, and you will compensate according to the price if you report to the police, which is totally unreasonable." The boss showed a bit of impatience, but he was still full of confidence.
"Everyone can watch more, now the jade is in your hand, don't break it for me again."
"The 150,000 is the lowest price. You must pay me! Otherwise, I won't let you go today."
"Boss, I forgot to tell you that I am a jewelry designer. Although I have been dealing with diamonds all the year round, diamonds and jades are not separated from each other, and I don't understand jades..."
As soon as Shi Yunan said these words, the surprise on the boss's face flashed quickly.
"The edge of the crack on this jade is a little dark. Obviously, it has been formed for a certain period of time. The jade quality appraisal center should be able to get the result."
Shi Yunnan focused his eyes on the boss again, and the sharp eyes in his eyes could almost discern all his dirty deeds.
"I'm talking about calling the police, not to deal with the compensation for this jade article, but to sue your shop for extortion! Anyway, you also said that the surveillance is in place, and there are so many people in the audience who testified for me."
Speaking of this, the aunt who was watching the fun immediately picked up her mobile phone and kept shooting and recording.
The boss avoided his sight, feeling a little uneasy in his heart—
You know, this set of touch porcelain is purely to deceive those new customers who don't know how to do it.
As long as the two sides repeatedly pull together a few times, and he deliberately lowers the compensation price 'over and over again', those new buyers will also choose to spend money on the big and small.
But he never thought that Shi Yunnan looked young and still had research on jade
Is this a hard stubble? !
Shi Yunan looked around at the showcases in the store, and pierced it sharply, "I don't think there is a problem with this jade item in your store, right?"
"Before me, there should have been other new customers who didn't know how to do it? I remember that the sentencing standard for attempted extortion is not low."
"One hundred thousand for one person is enough to be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years."
Seeing this inner secret being pierced, the middle-aged boss's eyes fluttered in panic, and he retorted without thinking, "You, if you don't have money, you won't have any money, don't spit!"
"This crack should still be repaired, I consider myself unlucky to have it repaired..."
He paused, and saved the last bit of luck, "You give me 3,000 yuan, and you won't need to be responsible for the follow-up, right?"
From 300,000 to 3,000, what about playing big diving
Shi Yunnan sneered and sneered, "As a black-hearted businessman like you whose conscience is eaten by dogs, are you worthy of letting me take the money?"
People in the tour group heard that Pengci was strange and immediately supported, "Young man, don't worry, auntie has recorded it! When the appraisal results come out, if he is a liar, we will all testify to you in front of the police!"
Shi Yunnan is white, tender and good-looking. Compared with the dark and greasy middle-aged boss, he is obviously more liked by their mothers.
"..."
The boss was shocked by Shi Yunnan's straightforward words, and his face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
He originally asked the clerk to recruit the individual tourists from these tour groups, but he just wanted to use the words of outsiders to put pressure on Shi Yunnan to compromise and compensate faster, but he did not expect that—
Now the situation is actually reversed. This group of tourists who have nothing to do with their mobile phones have their cameras pointed at him.
If this video is posted casually on the Internet, other outsiders will not say it, but in front of those old fritters in the jade circle, he has nowhere to hide.
Probably because the discussion in the store became a bit louder, and a lot of onlookers and FITs began to gather outside the store.
"Don't block me in my store if you're okay, I'm not worthy..." The boss was guilty of a thief, and was about to ask the clerk to drive the customer out.
In the next second, a young and assertive voice sounded from the periphery of the crowd—
"What do you do without so much nonsense? Call the police? According to the rules, if you break things in the store, isn't it normal for you to compensate?"
Shi Yunnan felt that the voice sounded very familiar, and immediately looked sideways, "Yuan Rui?"
The other party wore a peaked cap, a pair of exaggerated sunglasses on his nose, and a black mask to cover his face tightly.
The visitor met Shi Yunnan's gaze, took off his sunglasses in disbelief, and confirmed it.
Looking at each other, the two confirmed each other's identities.
Shi Yunnan saw the bruises at the corners of Yuan Rui's eyes, and he understood - this kid was beaten up by him last night, his nose was bruised and his face was bruised.
"Come on, the enemy's road is narrow."
Yuan Rui grumbled angrily, and after speaking, he actually planned to go back to the crowd, regardless of the mess.
The boss thought that he finally got a free help, and quickly said, "That's right! This young man in black is right, and he should pay for the damages in the store according to the rules!"
"..."
Yuan Rui stopped when he was about to leave, he took off his sunglasses and showed a look of disgust.
I saw Yuan Rui go straight to the edge of the counter, put on gloves and picked up the jade carving, searched for the crack at the bottom, looked carefully, and then turned his gaze to Shi Yunan.
"Beat me so hard, do you know how to be a coward when you encounter such a thing?"
"what?"
Shi Yunnan frowned slightly, thinking that Yuan Rui would speak for the shopkeeper indiscriminately.
"According to the rules of the Linglong Jade Market, if a customer damages a jade article, they must pay a clear price to pay for compensation; but if the seller breaks the rules in a shady way..."
Yuan Rui sneered, and his hands suddenly stabilized the bottom of the jade carving.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Yuan Rui held it high and suddenly smashed the jade carving towards the side of the cabinet.
"Then you should follow the rules!"
— bang!
A large gap was smashed into the upper part of the jade carving, and even the edge of the cabinet was dented.
If the original crack at the bottom was only sold at a discount at most, then now, the jade carving object with the gap is completely scrapped.
There was a sound of gasping in the audience.
Shi Yunnan didn't expect Yuan Rui to turn towards him, his eyebrows couldn't hide his surprise, and at the same time, he felt happy with his appetite.
He originally wanted to smash this deceitful jade carving clean, but unfortunately the boss was obviously relying on him.
"What are you doing!" The boss roared, his face flushed with anger.
Yuan Rui took the jade carving and took half a step back, and his arrogant temper came, "What am I doing? Let you, a black-hearted merchant, take the defective products to deceive people! If you keep it for you, you will deceive others if you don't keep it well! "
The boss was really angry now. Seeing Yuan Rui smashed things, he bit him to the end, "What the hell are you doing, you don't even know one thing, that's Xincha! Lose me money!"
"Bah! Young master, I grew up soaking in the pile of jade since I was a child. Can I still tell the old and new cracks apart?"
Yuan Rui glanced at Shi Yunnan, who was beside him, and was extremely confident.
"I'm protecting the crack at the bottom. It's not damaged at all! Anyway, everyone testified, and we'll take it for identification in a while!"
"If I make a mistake, I'll pay you the original price for what I smashed! If it's your fault, just wait in jail!"
Shi Yunnan looked at Yuan Rui like a puffer fish exploding, and almost couldn't hold back the occasion and laughed out loud, he almost forgot—
Yuan Rui is the young master of Yuan's jade. He has been fascinated by his eyes and ears since he was a child. Let's not say whether he is skilled or not, but he has some knowledge about jade and jade.
The boss didn't expect that Yuan Rui not only didn't come to help him, but also intensified his efforts to demolish his platform.
Annoyed, he raised his fist at Yuan Rui and put on a gesture of wanting to fight, "Are you looking for death?"
Seeing this, Shi Yunnan quickly grabbed the boss's wrist, and then swept his foot horizontally, hitting the opponent's ankle bone.
This kick was ruthless, and Shi Yunnan did vent with the strength of 'revenge'.
"—His!"
The boss was suddenly in pain, and almost knelt down with his feet soft.
Shi Yunnan looked at Yuan Rui, who was shivering with fright beside him, and found it funny, "Why don't you hide? Didn't you get beaten enough yesterday?"
"..."
Yuan Rui was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but when he reached his mouth, he pulled the wound on his lips, which was broken by Shi Yunnan's punch last night.
He put on his sunglasses, held a jade carving, and hid behind Shi Yunnan without shame, "Then what... If you can fight, you go!"
The boss recovered from the pain in his ankle, and was just about to pick up the guy's stick, but there was a chatter from the outside.
"The police are here!"
"Hey, why is Mr. Lu here too? There's so much trouble!"
Soon, a group of people walked in. In addition to the policeman in uniform, there was also a thin man.
Lu Zhaoan looked at Yuan Rui for the first time, his eyebrows twitched indistinctly, and then he turned his eyes to Shi Yunnan, "Mr. Shi, we meet again."
The police looked around, came in and asked, "Who sent the text message to the police?"
"Hello, I'm the caller."
Shi Yunnan took the initiative to admit and repeated everything that happened in the store just now.
After hearing what happened, Lu Zhao'an's eyes became serious as steady as water, "Boss Chen, where's the jade carving? Show me."
At this moment, the owner of the shop next door whispered to a group of people—
"Have you heard of Yuanshi Jadeware? A real century-old brand! In our market alone, there are five branches of Yuanshi!"
"The Yuan family has invested in the establishment of this jade market for three generations. Later, although the government came forward to take over the site, the Yuan family still has shares, and the market rules have never changed."
"The person inside is Lu Zhao'an, the proud apprentice of the current boss! He has become a master figure in the domestic jade carving circle at a young age, and he has a sharp eye! Go to the Shi Identification Center."
"..."
Boss Chen naturally recognized Lu Zhaoan's identity, and when he saw that the police were all dispatched, he felt guilty.
Yuan Rui shoved the jade carving into Lu Zhaoan's hands with a stern face, looking awkward as the boss was unhappy.
Before Lu Zhaoan began to identify, Boss Chen didn't ask himself, "No, don't look at it, there is a little misunderstanding in the middle."
"Small misunderstanding?"
Shi Yunnan didn't answer the boss's words at all, sneering and mocking, "At first he asked for 300,000 yuan, then he asked for 150,000 yuan, and then he didn't give up and wanted to pay 3,000 yuan for repairs. This is not a misunderstanding, this is called extortion !"
"Comrade police, please take a look at other objects in the store. I suspect that there are other jade articles with cracks. It is not the first time that they have used such a method of touching porcelain."
Lu Zhaoan did not speak, and would carefully examine the cracks at the bottom of the jade carving.
Yuan's third store in the market opened a piece of imperial green with a good water head yesterday, and he came over to receive the goods in person today.
As for Yuan Rui, he was forced by his father, Lu Zhaoan's master, to learn more about the jade business.
Yuan Rui lost interest in jade and was unwilling to listen, and slipped out again while Lu Zhaoan and the clerk were busy.
Then, when Lu Zhaoan went out of the store to look for Yuan Rui, he met the policeman who came halfway, so he stopped by to have a look.
"Boss Chen."
Lu Zhaoan put the jade carving on the cabinet on one side and asked, "Do you know the rules of the Linglong Jade Market?"
Since Yuan's investment in the establishment of this jade market, he has set a rule: that is, sellers cannot cheat people.
Later, although the government came forward to take over the site, Yuan still held a certain amount of shares, and the established market rules have never changed.
The reason why Yuan Rui was violent and smashed things was because he was afraid that the boss would ruin the reputation of the jade market in private, which would affect the Yuan family.
Every year, the market management will uniformly ask the shop owners to sign the contract of 'integrity management', otherwise they have to act according to the rules—
The light ones smashed things, and the heavy ones might close the store.
"I know, I also ask you adults not to remember the villain's mistakes. There was a misunderstanding. Yes, I didn't read it carefully."
Boss Chen smiled, with belated remorse in his heart—
It is difficult to do business in the market these days. Like their more active bosses, they will try to make a profit in private. As long as the Yuan family doesn't send someone to investigate, everyone will not talk to each other.
First met Shi Yunnan, who was a tough guy who didn't want to eat, then a rude and unreasonable young man smashed his things, and finally attracted the police and Lu Zhaoan
He has had eight lifetimes of bad luck today!
I didn't blackmail money, but I lost my wife and lost my army!
"Since the police have been reported, should we follow the normal procedures?" Lu Zhaoan's tone was calm but there was no discussion.
Shi Yunnan, who was the alarm person, also agreed with normal procedures.
When Boss Chen heard this, he immediately broke out in cold sweat.
Usually when Pengci encounters someone who wants to call the police, he will find a way to do it privately. Anyway, it is a question of whether to lose money or not. Why did he really make trouble at the police station today!
It's a pity that no matter how regretful and reluctant the boss is, he can't stand the police's law enforcement.
The showcases in the store were opened one by one, and many jade carvings had cracks!
Not only that, even in the small warehouse behind the counter, there are jade carvings with similar appearances of 'Pantao Bergamot', and even the cracks are at the bottom.
OK!
It's a blatant fraudulent item!
The onlookers at the scene became more and more eager to shoot video, shouting 'Exposure! ''Black-hearted shopkeeper! ''Must go out of business! '
Boss Chen's face turned white and red, red and blue, and he felt panic and regret belatedly—
After today's incident, let alone his shop may not be able to open, even his reputation in this circle will stink along with it!
