The Thousand Treasures Pavilion was empty. Gu Yiran had finished dealing with all the fakes a few days ago. The morning sun shone in, and the dust on the ground added a hint of the old smell.
"Mr. Gu, the furniture you ordered has been delivered.”
The delivery boss knocked on the door of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. It was a young man wearing a cap.
"Why are you the one delivering the goods?" Gu Yiran asked curiously as she took the receipt and paid.
"The old man's body can't take it anymore, so he's staying here to make furniture. I'll do the physical work of delivering goods.”
The young man smiled and then carried the shelf out of the car with a flushed face.
"Oh, it's quite heavy?" Gu Yiran went up and held his hand. Immediately, she felt a weight on her wrist.
"That's right. The things in my house are all solid wood. The quality is guaranteed.”The young man laughed.
"Alright, let's put it here."
The two of them placed all the shelves in a corner of the room.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I wish Boss Gu a prosperous business!”The young man greeted them and left while humming a tune.
After sending the young man off, Gu Yiran looked at the shelves.
These were the things he had prepared to store antiques. There were a few glass cabinets with locks to store items that were not for sale.
In the deepest part of the shop, two rows of shelves were placed against the wall, and one row of shelves in the middle was enough.
Exquisite porcelain was placed in the middle, and calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls on both sides. The layout was roughly like this.
Just do it!
Gu Yiran straightened her 82-year-old waist and started moving around.
The huge commotion caused by moving the furniture also attracted the attention of the neighbors.
"Yiran, what are you doing?" A head poked in from outside the shop.
"Uncle Chen, I'm preparing to reopen the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”Seeing this person, Gu Yiran subconsciously felt disgusted, but she still smiled at him.
Jianguo Chen's shop was opposite the Wanbao Pavilion. Everyone in the industry knew that his shop specialized in selling fake goods.
There were many shops like Jianguo Chen in Panjiayuan that specialized in selling fake goods, but most of them had already gone bankrupt.
Over the years, tourists had become more aware. Those who really wanted to pick up the leftovers would also bring someone who knew the ropes with them. It was rare to see a fool.
Jianguo Chen was one of the few people in Panjiayuan who had a thriving business selling counterfeit goods.
Their core strategy in selling things was to cheat!
The most common method was to show the real thing to the tourists, but when the goods were finally delivered, they were replaced with fake ones.
Because they targeted those without power and influence, even if they were discovered, they had nothing to fear.
Gu Yiran didn't dislike them.
Every line had its own way of living. It was their own business if they didn't like it. If they insisted on letting others do things that matched their values, it would feel like a dog taking a mouse and meddling in other people's business.
The main reason was that Gu Yiran had also fallen into their trap.
That was not long after his father passed away, when he received the goods from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
He thought that Jianguo Chen would help his neighbors, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless.
"Hehe." Chen Jianguo's eyes darted around as he smiled." Yiran, I have a lot of good stuff. Do you want to go and take a look? I'll give you a discount."”
"Thank you, Uncle Chen, for thinking about me despite such a good thing.”Gu Yiran sneered." I'll go and take a look when I'm free. If there's really something good, I won't be polite.”
"We're all neighbors. There's no need to be so polite. I happen to have a lot of good things in my pocket.”Jianguo Chen took out a few copper coins from his pocket as he spoke. His mysterious appearance made people curious.
"This is something that has just been unearthed." Jianguo Chen deliberately lowered his voice and said," I took it from a few grave robbers. It was something from an ancient emperor's tomb.”
"Think about the emperor. The things he carried with him in his tomb must be very valuable!”
"Alright then." Gu Yiran glanced at it and took it casually. Then, she revealed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Analyzing the craftsmanship of the copper coin, current 1%"
"Current 5%"
"Currently 13%."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the craftsmanship of the modern craftsman Zhang Ming!”
It turned out that the system could be used in this way. Then, as long as he touched it, he would know whether it was real or fake.
wait
Gu Yiran's mind suddenly turned back. Zhang Ming's name sounded so familiar. Wasn't that Chen Jianguo's uncle?
A short middle-aged man suddenly appeared in Gu Yiran's mind. When he smiled, he looked like Maitreya Buddha. He was harmless to humans and animals.
Alright!
Chen Jianguo was playing with self-production and self-selling now.
Seeing Gu Yiran's stunned expression, Chen Jianguo thought that the former was tempted and quickly said,"Yiran, this thing is really not bad. If it weren't for our neighbors, I really wouldn't be willing to give it to you when you just opened for business.”
Jianguo Chen revealed a reluctant expression.
"The items are quite good." Gu Yiran came back to her senses and smiled faintly." Your uncle's cooking skills are really good. It's really hard to tell just by looking at it.”
Jianguo Chen smiled when he heard the first half of the sentence. He thought that he had succeeded, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression changed drastically.
"How do you know it was my uncle who faked it?" he shouted subconsciously.”
"I can read minds!" Gu Yiran stared into Chen Jianguo's eyes and said,"I also know that this copper coin was produced in an abandoned factory in the suburbs!”
" This…" Jianguo Chen's eyes were wide open, and he was sweating profusely.
Are you a demon?
How did he know about such a secret?
For every counterfeit, the place where the counterfeit was produced was the foundation. It could not be exposed. Once the news was leaked, they had to destroy the evidence!
"Yiran, go ahead. I still have something to do in my shop.”Jianguo Chen fled in panic.
He watched Jianguo Chen leave.
Gu Yiran's heart skipped a beat. She had suffered a loss at the hands of Chen Jianguo in the past. She could not let him off just like that, right?
He silently lowered his chin. He vaguely remembered that Jianguo Chen's shop seemed to have some things that he had collected from the countryside. If he picked up something good in there, with Jianguo Chen's stingy personality, wouldn't he be annoyed to death?
At the thought of this, Gu Yiran took out WeChat and contacted a very famous appraiser she had met at the exchange meeting.
"Teacher Fang, I have a few things that I want you to take a look at. They are at Panjiayuan XX. Are you free to come over?”
"I happen to be nearby. After I'm done with my work, I'll go over and help you take a look.”
"Alright, thank you."
Gu Yiran smiled and slowly walked into Jianguo Chen's shop.
