C228 I've Been Cheated

0Jian Shi immediately put the painting away and said, "This is too expensive. Mr. Xiao, you should take it. I can't afford it."

Xiao Chen still shook his head and said, "Mr Jian is thinking too much. How can I spend so much money to buy this painting? Although it is indeed precious, it is not the hand of a famous person. I don't think it will reach this stage in the market outside. "    

    

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Jian Shi was a little confused. Then he thought of a number. He could not control his voice and said, "Did Mr. Xiao only spend one million?"    

    

"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded.    

    

"High! It is really high!" Jian Shi could not help giving Xiao Chen a thumbs up.    

    

This time, he was completely convinced. He didn't think that Xiao Chen would be able to get such a big bargain.    

    

This trip was equivalent to earning at least a few million, and the other party might not know about it.    

    

While Jian Shi was talking, some people below noticed him. When they saw the words in their hands, they immediately muttered.    

    

"Isn't this the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Chart that Manager Ma called very well earlier? I heard that it was sold to an unknown kid for one million. Now it seems like this isn't the case."    

    

The person who spoke was Manager Ma's good friend, Shopkeeper Chen. They and Shopkeeper Zhu, who was selling antiques in the porcelain area, were called the 'Three Auction Elders' of the Antique Auction.    

    

Of course, this Three Elders did not refer to their age. Although the three of them were a little bald, they were only in their fifties. They were still a distance away from the real elderly.    

    

The main reason was that they had been selling things in the auction for the longest time, so this title was given to them by other friends.    

    

Of course, they also had a certain level of reputation. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to openly cheat them here. Moreover, they had never sold fake goods for so many years.    

    

When Manager Chen heard that someone had cheated his good friend, he immediately became angry, so he quickly left his seat and went to find Manager Ma, who was preparing his collection below the stage.    

    

Manager Ma was actually still brooding over his painting. Of course, he didn't know the true value of that painting. He just felt that the painting had ruined his reputation of never selling counterfeits.    

    

Next, he still had two paintings to be auctioned off on the stage. He was now very suspicious about whether his painting could be sold. After all, the previous incident had a huge impact on his reputation.    

    

"Manager Ma! Manager Ma! I have something very important to tell you!" Manager Chen shouted as he ran.    

    

Manager Ma saw him and went up to him, "Manager Chen, do you have something urgent to tell me?"    

    

"Manager Ma, you have been fooled. Do you still remember the Hundred Birds Charming to the Phoenix Chart? That kid could see the connections inside. In fact, it was also a famous painting. Its value might be higher than before." Manager Chen said.    

    

Manager Ma slapped his thigh and said, "I knew there wouldn't be any problem with that painting. Sure enough, I was fooled by this kid. Bring me to him!"    

    

Manager Chen saw this and quickly went up to persuade him, "You can't go, you can't go! I don't know where this kid came from, but he gave the painting to Mayor Jian. Mayor Jian probably has already accepted it. "    

    

Manager Ma was a little angry when he heard that. He said hatefully, "This kid actually knows how to use flowers to offer Buddha. I will go and find Deputy Mayor Xu Da to judge tomorrow!"    

    

"Yes, that's what I meant. When the time comes, I will ask Deputy Mayor Xu Da to come forward. We are also reasonable. I don't believe that kid won't admit it. When the time comes, we can ask him to compensate us for some mental damage or something like that. We can go and have a drink again. " As Manager Chen spoke, he revealed a sinister smile.    

    

"Well said, well said. Then that's it. I will go and find Deputy Mayor Xu Da tomorrow morning." Manager Ma was also happy.    

    

Now the burden in his heart had been lifted. Not only could he take back the painting, but he could also make a small fortune. This matter would probably make anyone happy. Now, Manager Ma only needed to hum a tune and sing a song.    

    

Jian Shi held the painting, and for a moment, he felt a little embarrassed to accept it. After all, the value of the painting was there. Although his net worth was quite substantial, however, this ten million was not a small sum. Xiao Chen gave it to him directly just like that. He felt that he still didn't dare to accept such a huge gift.    

    

Xiao Chen saw his hesitation, so he pushed him again and said, "Mr Jian, don't feel too pressured. I only spent one million on this painting. I'll just take it as a gift of a million. Take it. "    

    

Hearing Xiao Chen say so, Jian Shi knew that he would be a little pretentious if he continued to decline. So he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take this painting first. Of course, if Mr. Xiao wants to take it back at any time, I can return it to you."    

    

"Mr Jian really knows how to joke. There is no reason to take back the things that were given out. Unless you look down on me, Xiao Chen, and don't want this painting. " Xiao Chen said with a smile.    

    

"Since you have such good taste, why don't you let me broaden my horizons in the next auction?" Jian Shi said and looked at the stage.    

    

Xiao Chen touched his nose and said, "I don't dare to say that I can broaden my horizons, but I can recognize some things."    

    

"Mr. Xiao, don't be modest. I will wait and see!" Jian Shi sat up straight.    

    

The next two hours were auctions like calligraphy and paintings.    

    

The whole process was quite simple. The sellers on the list displayed their collections and then offered a price. There were two master appraisers on the list who offered a market price, and anyone who took a fancy to it would buy it.    

    

In the meantime, Xiao Chen asked Jian Shi to buy two pieces of art. One was a painting, and the other was a word.    

    

The painting he bought was not a famous painting. It was not very memorable or meaningful to collect. According to Xiao Chen's estimation, it was absolutely possible to increase the price by more than three times in five years.    

    

Jian Shi quite believed in Xiao Chen's eyes, and the word did not seem to have anything special about it. Many people on the scene even secretly laughed at Jian Shi.    

    

"What do you think happened to Mayor Jian? Why did he collect such lousy words? These are just words written by a nobody. No matter how long he collects them, they are all useless! "    

    

"That's right. I don't know what he is thinking."    

    

"In any case, he's not our local. If he loses, then so be it."    

    

...    

    

Hearing the people below say that about him, Jian Shi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, it was Xiao Chen who told him to buy it, so he bought it. Now, Xiao Chen didn't say anything.    

    

So he could only wait for Xiao Chen to explain to him later.
