134: Revenge will spread throughout the four seas!
After Chen Kai finished asking this question, Zheng Liu Chang shuddered violently.
"They aren't here; they have already advanced and were assigned to a different group."
Zheng Liu Chang suddenly remembered that when they went to Da Sanjiang Pawnshop to challenge them and expose their fakes, it seemed like one xianfeng treasure coin had been purchased.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly recalled that the fake xianfeng treasure coin had been bought back by Li Chen at a high price.
He let out a long sigh of disappointment.
If he had that fake xianfeng treasure coin, he could sweep the entire second round. After all, if Da Sanjiang Pawnshop couldn't identify that copper coin as a fake, could other Pawnshops?
"Oh, if that's the case, I'll get you a few fake xianfeng treasure coins, the same style as the ones from Da Sanjiang Pawnshop last time."
Chen Kai said calmly. He believed that apart from Da Sanjiang, no one else would be able to tell that this fake coin was fake.
He was also willing to bet that Da Sanjiang certainly wouldn't tell anyone else about the fake coin.
Did they not want to save face? Someone who swore they never received fakes and offered a ten-fold refund actually received a fake.
And it was discovered during a challenge; their authority in the industry would plummet to the bottom.
As long as Li Chen and his son weren't stupid, they would never talk about the fake xianfeng treasure coin.
They had been taken for a fool and cheated, so they would be eager for other peers to be cheated as well. Why would they kindly warn others?
Besides, the fake coin gang had been rounded up by him, and all the unsold fake coins had been confiscated by Hat Uncle. They hadn't entered the market at all, so how could other Pawnshops notice?
"Holy crap! Are you serious? You actually have more of those xianfeng treasure coins? No one will ever be able to tell the difference!"
"Even if I were to identify it again, unless I was extremely careful, I would easily fall into the trap."
Zheng Liu Chang became excited all of a sudden and immediately stood up.
Chen Kai smiled faintly, "It's true. And to be honest, the small coin I'm giving you today was something I managed to Score a Bargain on at the Wishing Pool. It had been soaking in water, and I don't know how long it's been there, so its rust looks a bit fake. It's perfect for passing off the real as fake and the fake as real."
"Holy crap!!!!"
Zheng Liu Chang was instantly fired up and wished he could hug him and kiss him in his excitement.
He immediately picked up the small coin in his hand and looked at it carefully. If it hadn't been given to him by Chen Kai, he might not have accepted it; the rust really did look like it was formed later.
When the time comes, they'll mistake the real for fake and the fake for real; that will be fun to watch.
"Brother Kai, no, Godfather! Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to come to the scene and take a look? Help me out with some advice!"
Chen Kai smiled, "We'll see. I might not have time tomorrow."
"Alright, Godfather. Then bring the copper coin to me tomorrow. I'll pay for it out of my own pocket. Such precious fakes, you must have also misjudged them, and you probably don't have much stock left."
"No need. Brother has a hundred of them."
Chen Kai shrugged indifferently; the thing he lacked the least was xianfeng treasure coins.
He had a hundred at home; he could keep one as a souvenir and sell the rest.
"Holy crap! Where the hell did you get so many? Did you raid someone's grave?"
Zheng Liu Chang looked bewildered. Since that was the case, he wouldn't pay. With a hundred fake coins, what was the harm in sharing a few with his Brother?
Besides, helping the boss's wife is only natural, right!
"Don't ask about that. I'm heading off. If I'm free tomorrow, I'll head over."
Chen Kai said his goodbyes, went out, accepted the transfer of 51,000, and then rode his Electric Scooter back to his newly rented apartment.
After grabbing a quick bite downstairs, it was almost dark, so he simply went upstairs to wait for the system to refresh.
As soon as the clock hit twelve, Chen Kai couldn't wait to open the daily intelligence system page.
【Ding!】
【Today's Intelligence Refreshed!】
【Today's Intermediate Intelligence: In the hotel lobby next to Jianshe Square, there is a banquet hall booked by the Antique Dealers Association. Inside the banquet hall, many representatives of the Antique Dealers Association are conducting an Appraisal. Each Antique Dealers Association brings two items, one real and one fake.
Among them, Tong Sihai Pawnshop mistakenly identifies a real item as a fake; both are actually real. After the competition, they directly throw the real item they considered fake into the trash can.
The host can go to the trash can in the hotel banquet hall next to Jianshe Square before 3 PM today to Score a Bargain on a Tongzhi Tongbao copper coin. Suggested selling price: 49,000.】
Chen Kai was stunned the moment he saw this message.
This was great; while Scoring a Bargain, he could also help Yunshang Pavilion win this Appraisal competition.
The copper coin identified as fake by Tong Sihai must be very real, but it also has some flaws typical of fakes—a real item where the flaws aren't particularly obvious.
One is a fake xianfeng treasure coin that is extremely realistic and has almost no flaws.
If you put these two together, one real and one fake, who could tell them apart?
He immediately made the decision to go Score a Bargain with Yunshang Pavilion tomorrow.
Just then, Liu Yunshang suddenly sent him a WeChat message.
【Brother, can you accompany me to the second round of the antique competition tomorrow? I'm a bit unsure. Zheng Liu Chang says it seems like there isn't anything in the shop that looks particularly authentically aged.】
Upon seeing this, Chen Kai immediately replied with a message.
"Didn't that kid tell you it's already been solved? I have the same style of fake xianfeng treasure coin from the last time I challenged Da Sanjiang. I'll go with you tomorrow."
【Really? Brother, you are so amazing! You've helped me solve another big problem!】
【You are too awesome~~ Let's go together tomorrow then.】
"Okay."
Chen Kai replied simply, asked for the meeting time, set an alarm, and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Early the next morning, Chen Kai was woken up by his alarm. After getting up and washing up, he took the xianfeng treasure coin, went downstairs, drove his mercedes-benz gle, and headed towards Yunshang Pavilion.
In less than twenty minutes, the car stopped on Antiques Street. Zheng Liu Chang and Liu Yunshang were already waiting for him in the shop.
Looking out through the car window, he discovered that many shops on Antiques Street were closed, and they were moving various antiques into their cars.
This included some shops whose antiques were so fake that even he could spot them at a glance.
"Brother~ You're here?"
Liu Yunshang slowly walked out of the shop, leaned against his car window, and her beautiful face poked directly into the driver's seat through the window.
She looked at Chen Kai with a charming expression; her face was practically written with one word: desire!
"Yeah, Sister Liu's shop has a competition, and since it concerns the outcome of the match, how could I not come early?"
Zheng Liu Chang was on the side, rolling his eyes almost to the sky, and his mouth twisted into a strange angle.
"Yo, yo, yo~~~ Yesterday I invited you and you wouldn't come, but when the boss's wife invites you, you come."
"You man who prioritizes romance over friendship, bah!"
Chen Kai smiled disdainfully. After letting Liu Yunshang sit in the passenger seat, he sped off towards the hotel next to Jianshe Road.
After parking the car and entering the venue, he discovered that it was just Tong Sihai Pawnshop's group's turn to identify the real and fake items.
