116 Insider

"A British imitation copper incense burner was regarded as a copper incense burner from the middle and late Qing Dynasty and sold for $80,000?"

"A painting by a slightly famous painter was hyped to the tune of four million dollars?"

"And the porcelain bowl from Minton Porcelain Factory that you submitted was only worth 200,000 dollars at most, but it was suddenly sold to 1 million dollars."

"Don't you think there's something weird about this?"

The woman opposite said with a smile, but when Chen Rui looked at her smile, he felt a chill on his back.

"I also find it strange. If such an auction can be held, then their appraiser must not be a vegetarian."

"It is impossible for such a low-level mistake to happen, but he just happened..."

"So, I can't understand it either."

Chen Rui murmured to himself, indeed he never quite understood.

Why did the auction I attended before become so outrageous?

Although he was also a beneficiary, he still did not believe that the people who participated in the auction were really that stupid.

At this time, the woman standing opposite him laughed.

"That's the key, let me tell you this."

"Just like your copper incense burner, in a year or two, it may be rebranded and appear in China."

"Then there will be a very 'touching' story that will follow, and then at the auction, the price will skyrocket."

"In the end, it will be sold at a very high price. After that, this thing will be mortgaged to the bank by some companies..."

The woman spoke very slowly and kept a smile on her face.

But Chen Rui, who was opposite him, felt a roar in his head, as if he had been hit by a cannonball.

"I understand, you are saying that what they do is the legendary Push Hand Pan."

"Hunting the price of a certain antique, inflating it, and then taking out the mortgage to defraud the loan..."

Chen Rui suddenly understood, and the woman opposite smiled slightly and nodded.

"Yes, this is a high-end scam that is currently popular!"

"The reason why they were willing to spend 80,000 yuan to buy the copper incense burner actually didn't care how much it cost."

"They just want to create an overseas transaction record to prove the origin of this incense burner..."

"These incense burners and the like have auction transaction records in the United States and tax payment certificates."

"In this case, who would dare to say that these things are fake?"

"When this incense burner returns to China, they will definitely be 'processing' it, and they will also make up some moving copywriting..."

"Then, this guy will transform into a real thing with a 'story'."

"The same goes for your big bowl from Minton Porcelain Factory."

"Perhaps in two years' time, it will have the status of 'porcelain for the royal family of the Yin Dynasty' and appear at a high-end auction in China."

"And you don't have to worry, there will definitely be 'experts' from the Yin Kingdom who will testify..."

"Today they spent one million dollars. In two years, they will earn back two million or even three million dollars from this bowl."

The woman revealed the inside story of the high-end game played by He Xiao and them.

Chen Rui was completely shocked now. He only knew that there was a gang of liars behind He Xiaohe.

But he didn't expect that these guys would play so big!

"What about Cheng Qian's "Girls Playing in Water"?"

Chen Rui thought again of the oil painting with a faint white light at the auction that day.

"Ha, this is the item with the highest premium that day."

"That Cheng Qian must be a painter hired by several bosses in China."

"All his oil paintings have been taken over by these bosses or companies."

"He is only responsible for painting, while those companies are responsible for hype. His paintings have sold for very high prices at domestic auctions before."

"But everyone who knows the business knows that in fact, those transaction prices are all caused by speculation."

"And the high price in this overseas auction is just because those companies packaged it with gold..."

After hearing the woman say this, Chen Rui basically understood.

"When this painter becomes popular, those big companies will secretly release his oil paintings on the market, right?"

"That's right! Of course, the fastest way is probably for these companies to create semi-private galleries."

"Then mortgage these paintings to banks or private lending companies..."

Good guy, the way these guys play is really wild.

It turns out that antiques and works of art can still be played in this way?

He has heard people say before that the antique industry is very deep, but he still doesn't know how deep it is and how it works.

But today, his horizons were opened.

"So such a big business and platform cannot be handled by He Xiaohe and a second-generation master."

"He is just the boss behind the scenes and the front desk."

"Once you catch him, it will definitely alert the boss behind him."

"That's why I took action to stop you."

"And if you, alone, want to contend with the huge organization behind him, the outcome will definitely not be pretty."

The woman said with another pun.

Chen Rui was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.

"What about you? Who are you?"

He understood that the woman wanted to recruit him and let him play Infernal Affairs.

As long as he can avenge his family, he doesn't care and acts as a gunman for others.

But before joining the other party, he still wanted to know who the other party was.

When the woman heard his question, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Me? My name is Qiao Li, we are a team, employed by a large company in China."

"Specially here to investigate the case of He Xiaohe's fraud group."

"It will only be good for you if you join us."

"Overseas, we may not be able to help you much, but at home, we will provide you with a lot of unexpected help."

Chen Rui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this.

"Oh? What kind of help? For example..."

"For example... we can get the debt collectors who are suing your father to drop the case."

"You can ask the bank to remove them from the list of deadbeats and lead a normal life."

The woman said with deep meaning.

But after hearing this, Chen Rui almost jumped out of bed.

"What? Are you telling the truth?"

During this period, he contacted his family almost every day.

Although he sent a sum of money to his mother, which solved the problem of food and life for the old couple.

But the life of the two fathers was not as pleasant as he imagined.

Because he had to deal with the prosecution of the debt collector, my father left early and came home late every day, and his hair was completely white.

Moreover, debt collectors will also use various means to put pressure on the couple.

In fact, this debt collector is not their real creditor.

It's just that some non-performing asset management companies in the society have acquired some of their company's former debt assets through unknown channels.

Then he went to his parents every day to collect debts.
