Chapter 236: Fighting Counterfeiting
brush!
The waiter broke into cold sweat again.
If it is missing but still parallel, then this... this is a deliberate fake!
boom!
A muffled sound came from the inner room of the store.
Zhou Huaishan glanced towards the inner room.
The curtain of the inner room was lifted, and an old man about fifty years old came out with a livid face.
The waiter immediately took half a step back and said, "It's the shopkeeper."
The old man looked at Zhou Huaishan, clasped his fists and bowed to Zhou Huaishan, "Today we are lucky enough to be in your hands."
Zhou Huaishan raised the corner of his mouth, his disdainful temperament firmly controlled, and said nothing.
The shopkeeper sat opposite Zhou Huaishan, glanced at the jade cup that had been placed on the table, and sighed.
"Did you realize it was a fake from the beginning?"
Zhou Huaishan smiled and said, "What? This thing is a fake, do you really not know?"
The store owner immediately smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, I really don't know."
"Oh? Really? I don't believe it! Aren't rich country bumpkins like me with no background and foundation always the most popular scapegoat in your antique shop?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "With all conscience, I really thought this was a genuine product. We are a century-old store, and we sell fakes to destroy our own brand."
He just wanted to sell it at a high price and trick Zhou Huaishan into making more money.
After all, antiques have no definite price at all.
No idea.
The shopkeeper sat there with his head drooped, feeling angry.
"Where did you get this thing? You have been playing with eagles all year round and you got pecked in the eye by an eagle. This is not something that the shopkeeper of a century-old store can do."
After a pause, Zhou Huaishan swung his legs and said with a cheeky smile: "Could it be recommended by an acquaintance?"
The shopkeeper's expression suddenly froze, his shoulders slumped slightly, and he smiled, "I really let you talk."
Zhou Huaishan hummed softly and then stood up.
There were many rare antiques placed on the antique shelves in the store. Zhou Huaishan walked slowly along the antique shelves and then raised his hand to point at a few places.
"This, this, this, and this, should be recommended to you by the same person, right?"
The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Huaishan dumbfounded.
That's right.
It's the same person.
"How did you figure it out?"
Zhou Huaishan laughed and said, "Of course it's because these are all fakes!"
As he spoke, Zhou Huaishan clicked his tongue and shook his head, with an accusation from the moral high ground in his eyes.
“I never expected that your century-old store would have so many fakes!”
The shopkeeper's expression changed instantly. He slapped the table and stood up. .
"You concluded that this jade cup is a fake. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and respect you. But what, are you here to cause trouble today?"
Zhou Huaishan immediately smiled contemptuously with his generous expression.
"Troublemaker? You need me to ruin things. My son-in-law, who has not yet entered the family, is a professional troublemaker!"
This person is Shen Li.
The shopkeeper's eyes twitched, he rolled his sleeves and said coldly: "The Shadow Commander is certainly frightening, but my antique shop can stand in Kyoto for less than a hundred years, so not everyone can easily provoke him."
Zhou Huaishan looked at the shopkeeper with contempt.
"What? Does this make me get angry because I told the truth?"
"What's the truth? You're just telling nonsense, I..."
Before the shopkeeper could finish what he said, Zhou Huaishan picked up a Buddha head placed on the ancient shelf at hand and smashed it on the ground.
His move was so sudden that no one could guard against it.
By the time the shopkeeper realized what had happened, the Buddha's head had fallen to the ground and was broken into pieces.
The waiter jumped up and rushed towards Zhou Huaishan.
"You're such a fanatic! You really think that with the support of the Shadow Commander, you can run wild in our store! You don't even care about whose background this is! You're a bully!"
At the same time as the waiter rushed towards him, Zhou Ping, a little man, tiptoed towards the waiter.
Although he is small, he still has great skills.
Although the three-legged cat looks ugly, it is still much better than the store waiter who has no skills.
The waiter was suddenly knocked aside by Zhou Ping.
The shopkeeper's face turned dark with anger. He raised his hand and pointed directly at Zhou Huaishan. His fingers couldn't stop shaking.
"you you."
Zhou Huaishan squatted down slowly and picked up a piece of debris from the ground, "Let's see clearly what the texture of this Buddha head is!"
The shopkeeper looked angrily.
The moment his eyes fell on the section of the fragment, the anger on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a kind of shock, to be precise, it was shock.
His eyelids trembled and he almost couldn't breathe.
He took the fragments lifted by Zhou Huaishan.
"This...how is this possible!"
Zhou Huaishan smiled casually and said: "Why is it impossible! Judging from the posture of the Buddha's head, this is a stone sculpture of the Buddha saving all sentient beings and explaining the Buddhist scriptures. In this kind of stone sculpture, the Buddha statues are all standing or sitting.
Various materials are used to make Buddha statues. Among the stone Buddha statues that may have been collected as antiques, the one in Wulingshan is the only one.
Needless to say, you should know that the one in Wuling Mountain was damaged due to the earthquake in Wuling Mountain, and only the Buddha's head was preserved at that time.
Why? Just because the Buddha head is made of diamond, it is strong and indestructible! "
Every time Zhou Huaishan said a word, the shopkeeper's hand holding the fragment of the Buddha's head shook more and more violently.
How could a Buddha head made of diamond be easily broken?
Just now he was only focused on being angry and anxious, but he actually ignored this.
This is something the shop bought at a high price.
The shopkeeper slowly raised his eyes, his gaze from the fragments to the other antiques Zhou Huaishan pointed out just now.
"Are these also fake?"
Zhou Huaishan raised his eyebrows and hummed, "Fake!"
"How did you see it at a glance?" Asking this question again is a gesture of asking questions without shame.
Zhou Huaishan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it. How I saw it is my ability, and how to deal with it is your ability."
The shopkeeper grinned at his dry lips.
Antique shops have always relied on the authenticity of goods.
Now there are seven or eight fakes in the shop. If this gets out
Take a deep breath, the shopkeeper said to Zhou Huaishan: "Tell me the number."
Zhou Huaishan stretched out five fingers without hesitation, "This number, plus tell me where you got this thing from."
The number Zhou Huaishan wanted was not low, but the antique shop was not unable to provide it.
As for where these things came from
The shopkeeper hesitated for a while.
Zhou Huaishan smiled and said, "You can choose not to tell me, and I will choose not to tell you that there are some fakes."
The shopkeeper's heart suddenly felt like it was trampled by ten thousand alpacas.
There are fakes?
Zhou Huaishan met the shopkeeper's messy wrinkled eyes, nodded with his spring-like smile, and imitated Zhou Qing, "Yes, dear, the suggestion here is to cooperate!"
Zhou Qing
Never underestimate a dandy's ability to imitate!
