Chapter 4: Transfer two million to this gentleman's account
"Oh?" I deliberately pretended to be looking forward to it.
"This string of Buddhist beads was given by Qianlong to the fourth princess Heshuo and Princess Jia. It is said that the princess's fingers are connected by webs, forming the shape of a Buddha's hand. After this was spread outside the palace, people were secretly surprised and thought that the princess was a gift from heaven. They said
She is Princess Buddha's Hand.
As a result, the princess was favored by the emperor. Modern medicine explains it as a type of "syndromycin", which is a dominant genetic disease. However, the cause of this disease was not understood in ancient times.
Red represents luck. Sir, if you buy this string of blood amber, you will definitely be tainted with the nobility of the princess and all your wishes will come true."
"Really? I really didn't know that this was a bracelet used by the princess. 200,000 yuan is indeed low. If I were the boss, I would definitely price it at 1 million. After all, it is something used by the royal family, how can it be less!"
In the antique world, valuation pays attention to the provenance of antiques. If the same item was used by the royal family, the price will be much higher. If it is used by ordinary people, sometimes it will be worthless.
The waiter was shocked and said in a flattering manner: "Sir, you know the goods so well. Why don't you take it out and show it to you?"
"Didn't you just say that you need to pay a deposit? You don't need to pay it now?"
"Sir, you are joking. The deposit is for those who don't know the goods. If you know the goods like this, it doesn't hurt to take a look."
The waiter's face was filled with joy. He put on white gloves, took out the blood amulet, and gently placed it on a towel.
"May I take a look at it?"
"Of course!" the waiter said and handed me a pair of white gloves.
I put on my gloves, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and deliberately joked: "Before I entered the store, I saw it written on the glass that if it is fake, I will pay ten for it. The things you have here can't be fake."
"Sir, are you kidding me? Each of our products has an appraisal certificate. How can it be fake?"
"Show me the appraisal certificate."
The waiter motioned to others to get the appraisal certificate, while she stared at me. The appraisal certificate was quickly brought, and I looked at it carefully. It was indeed not fake, but the blood amber was definitely fake.
"Okay, you can invoice me. I want this string of beads."
"Sir, I'll wrap it up for you right now. Do you want to pay by card or cash?" the waiter said with a smile on his face.
"Swipe your card! You don't have to wrap it up for me, just issue an invoice." I took out my card and paid without hesitation.
The waiter happily wrote the ticket for me. She should be able to make a lot of money from this order.
After all the formalities were completed, the waiter said with a smile: "Sir, you are so generous. At first glance, you are a big business man. Do you want to see something else?"
Just now he called me a poor man, and now he praises me again. This man is really only interested in profit.
I smiled lightly, sister, don't be too happy, if you cry in the next second, I won't hand you a tissue.
I looked at the receipt in my hand, and then at the string of so-called "blood amber".
"Miss, this thing is mine now. I can do with it whatever I like, right?"
"Of course, the things are yours and you can take them away at any time."
"Call your boss out. This thing is fake. I want to return it and pay tenfold compensation."
The waiter was immediately at a loss, with a very twitching expression on his face: "Sir, you must be kidding me. Our Wanbaozhai has never sold fake products. Besides, if it is a fake, why would you buy it?"
"Stop talking and call your boss out. You can't handle this matter."
The waiter was panicked and didn't know what to do.
When I made a fuss, the surrounding guests also gathered around me.
"Sir, do we have any misunderstanding?"
I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slim woman walking out of the back room. She had delicate features, skin as smooth as snow, and a pair of beautiful big eyes. She was wearing a white suit with blue stripes on her hair.
Pulling it upward, the whole person exudes a noble temperament.
"Miss." The waiters shouted in unison.
She walked directly to me and asked the waiter what was going on. The waiter briefly told her what had just happened.
"Hello, sir, my name is Wan Xiyue, and I am the general manager of Wanbaozhai. If you have any questions, you can tell me."
I noticed that she also wore a string of amber on her hand. The quality was very good and it looked real at first glance. And with her identity, if she wore a fake string on her body, she would probably lose her face beyond the galaxy.
"Miss Wan, I suspect that the blood amber I just bought from your house is fake."
"Sir, you are joking. Nothing in our store is fake. You should have seen it when you entered the store just now. You will be compensated ten for every fake product. If there were fakes, our store would have been closed down long ago."
"What if it's fake?"
"If you leave it, you'll pay ten!" Wan Xiyue said firmly.
This eldest lady will not shed tears until she sees the coffin.
I said politely: "I see you also have a bunch of amber in your hand, which is valuable. Do you dare to let me inspect the goods on the spot?"
Wan Xiyue glanced at the amber in her hand, and then at the blood amber I just bought: "What if there is none?"
"According to the rules of your Wanbaozhai, if this is false, you will compensate me two million. If I am wrong, I will compensate you two million. Do you dare to let me verify it on the spot?"
"How do you want to test it?"
"Please ask the waiter to buy me a few bottles of mineral water and a pack of salt." I took out a hundred yuan.
Wan Xiyue looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
No one around him came out to speak, and the scene remained in a stalemate.
Suddenly, a voice jumped out: "I'll buy it for you!"
Ai Weiwei emerged from the crowd and took the money from my hand.
Why is she here!
No matter if she comes out at this time, I need help.
"No need! I'll do it." Wan Xiyue said and motioned to the waiter, "Go get the glass jar, fill a basin with water, and get a bag of salt."
Everything arrived soon.
"Miss Wan, please lend me the amber in your hand."
She was unwilling to give the amber to me.
I put two strings of amber beads into the water at the same time.
"Natural amber has a very light texture and will sink to the bottom when put into water. Then add dissolved concentrated salt water into it. When the concentration of salt is greater than 1 to 4 (1 part salt, 4 parts water), real amber will slow down.
It floats slowly, but fake amber cannot float."
Soon, Wan Xiyue's amber floated, but my blood amber did not.
"How is it? Miss Wan, I have many other ways to verify the authenticity of amber. Do you want to test them one by one?"
"No need!" Wan Xiyue looked ugly, "Who is handling the counter today?"
The waiter who just looked down on me stood up and lowered his head: "Miss, it's me."
"What's going on with this fake blood amber?"
The waiter's face was shocked, and her tears were like broken beads. She tugged on Wan Xiyue's clothes and cried, "Miss, I really don't know, it's none of my business."
"Sir, the blood amber may have been exchanged. We will give you an explanation later."
"No, just give me back my two hundred thousand."
"Come here, put two million into this gentleman's account." Wan Xiyue said generously.
"Huh?" I was surprised for a while. Did she not understand? "Miss Wan, what do you mean?"
"You bought a fake product in our store. According to our rules, you will be fined 10 yuan for every fake product. You should be compensated two million. As for why fake products appear in our store, I will definitely get to the bottom of it and give you an explanation."
"Haha! Miss Wan is so polite. Everyone makes mistakes, so why should you be so serious? Just give me 200,000. As for your waiter, just ask her to work more seriously in the future."
"No, no, no! Sir, I must give you two million, otherwise our Wanbaozhai brand will not be able to stand up in the antique world in the future."
Chapter completed!
