139: The boss was also invited to watch the show?
Less than half an hour later, Chen Kai parked the car in front of Yunshang Pavilion.
Pushing open the car door and getting out, he found several other Pawnshop owners he recognized from yesterday already in Liu Yunshang's shop.
Everyone had an excited, eager smile on their faces.
"Boss Chen! Are you sure Tong Sihai Pawnshop has fake goods? We've all invited the biggest bosses from our own shops to come and watch this challenge."
"The bosses in the Antique Circle are all connected and know each other. As soon as our bosses see this, they will definitely tell the owners who frequently shop at Tong Sihai."
"By then, the customers at Tong Sihai will all run away!"
"It's just that... if we fail to expose them and can't find any fake goods in their shop, the bosses will probably talk behind our backs, and the reputation of our Yunshang Pavilion... might be affected a little."
Everyone was speaking over one another. Although there was some doubt in their tone, it was also a well-intentioned reminder.
Being a gossip is the nature of every person in the Dragon Kingdom. Especially in the Antique Circle, which isn't very large, so the bosses should all be familiar with the shops on this street.
Once called over, it's inevitable that one side will be pointed and whispered about.
After all, if the fake-busting fails, Yunshang Pavilion will definitely suffer the backlash.
Chen Kai understood this logic and nodded expressionlessly.
He was still very confident in the intelligence provided by the system.
"Their shop definitely contains fake goods."
Everyone was stunned. Seeing Chen Kai so confident, they simply took out their phones and started calling people!
"Fine! Since Boss Chen says so, I'll contact my boss to come and watch the show right now!"
"Me too! I've called the richest boss from our shop! Just to take down their Tong Sihai!"
"Take them down! When the time comes, we'll also take a look and see if we can spot the fakes at Tong Sihai with our own eyes!"
Chen Kai shook his head and smiled as he watched everyone's agitated appearance.
This wasn't all just to help Yunshang Pavilion; when a whale falls, everything else thrives. If Tong Sihai was really taken down, they would all benefit.
But it was just everyone striving for their own interests.
However... Chen Kai really did need this group of people to cheer him on. After all, given Zhou Haoyu's personality, he might really refuse to pay up.
"Little brother, you can get ready to fight... oh no, to bust fakes now."
Liu Yunshang came down from the second-floor office at this moment, wearing a loose little dress with white silk stockings on her legs.
The other Pawnshop owners were stunned.
Is this kid Chen Kai's luck really that good?! Those long legs! That beauty! Those white silk stockings!
Wow, the owner of Yunshang Pavilion has such an aura just by tidying up a little? And her expression toward Chen Kai is not like the one she has toward them—that 'strangers stay away' look.
On the contrary, her attitude toward Chen Kai is as gentle as a sweet girl!
A combination of a cold beauty and a sweet girl, it's perfect!
Chen Kai nodded and took the initiative to hold Liu Yunshang's arm.
A group of more than a dozen people marched toward a nearby coffee shop.
Several middle-aged men were sitting together in the coffee shop, looking like people of considerable wealth.
Seeing the group led by Chen Kai walking toward them, they immediately became excited. Gossip! Who doesn't like gossip?
Especially in their small circle, hearing that Tong Sihai, known as the number one Pawnshop in Jiangnan, was going to be busted for fakes—it would be a pity not to watch such a show.
Moreover, this gossip also concerned their own interests.
The respected middle-aged man leading them immediately stood up.
"Are you all ready? Then let's go!"
"Yes, let's go."
After picking up the group, Chen Kai went straight to Tong Sihai Pawnshop, just a street away.
On the way, they passed by Da Sanjiang Pawnshop. Li Chen saw the grand procession and suddenly had another thought.
Chen Kai isn't going to kick the hall again, is he?!
He hurriedly followed them, trailing behind the crowd.
When he saw Chen Kai heading straight for Tong Sihai Pawnshop, he knew his premonition was correct.
He felt a trace of relief in his heart.
It's a good thing he made friends with Chen Kai. Bringing so many Pawnshop owners and so many customers who frequently shop in the circle—he recognized several of these bosses who often shop at Pawnshops.
Tong Sihai Pawnshop is finished this time!
Li Chen breathed a long sigh of relief. He originally wanted to go straight back to his shop, but his curiosity got the better of him, so he simply closed his shop door and secretly followed behind the group to watch the show.
...
Chen Kai led the crowd all the way to the entrance of Tong Sihai.
It was very close to Da Sanjiang Pawnshop, only a few minutes' walk.
After seeing the notice at the entrance, Chen Kai immediately took out his phone and took a photo, just in case Zhou Haoyu refused to admit it later.
He also recorded a video of the entrance of Tong Sihai shop including the notice.
As for evidence, it's better to have it complete.
After making all the preparations, he led the crowd slowly into Tong Sihai Pawnshop.
Zhou Haoyu, who was sitting in the shop playing with his phone, looked up and was stunned by this formation.
What is this for? Could it be a challenge?
"Chen Kai? What are you doing?"
Chen Kai smiled faintly, "I just want to ask you, is that 'fake one compensate ten' money-giving event at your Tong Sihai Pawnshop still on?"
When Zhou Haoyu heard this, he immediately let go of his anxious heart.
"You want to bust fakes? Then please feel free to look. Our shop definitely has no fake goods. As long as there are fakes, we will compensate ten times! We will compensate in cash!"
"Everyone, feel free to shop in our store. The credibility of our store is definitely among the best in the Pawnshop industry."
A sinister smile curled up on the corner of Zhou Haoyu's mouth.
As long as it was something from their shop, it had all passed through his hands, and everything had been selected by him and his father.
Only after being 100% sure it was authentic would they put it on display.
They would also accept those obvious fakes, but they would keep them in the warehouse. They would sell them to novices who didn't know the industry.
Anyway, with antiques, as long as you take them out of the shop, even if you find someone to appraise them and bring them back, it's no longer my item.
Relying on this trick of scamming novices, their shop hadn't flipped over yet.
"As long as it's real, then I'll start looking."
As soon as Chen Kai entered, he saw a piece of Famille Rose porcelain glowing faintly on the shelf, a small statue.
"Fine, feel free. All of you can come together if you want."
Zhou Haoyu sat on the Counter with his legs crossed, looking completely indifferent.
When everyone heard this, they were immediately excited.
This was a great opportunity to show off in front of people, and the bosses of the Antique Circle were all here.
As long as someone could find a fake, it would prove that their eye for antiques was better than Tong Sihai Pawnshop's.
If they could win over a wave of bosses, wouldn't they be making money hand over fist?
"Brother Chen Kai, I won't be polite then, I'll go and check the authenticity first!"
