Chapter 5: Touch porcelain
Yao Shengwei drove the car fast, and in a short while he reached the antique street.
Zhou Zhong was slightly startled, but he didn't expect to be back here after such a while. It seems that he really has a relationship with this. Lin Lu said that the shop her cousin opened is not an antique shop, right?
The three people got out of the car, Lin Lu hurriedly walked in front of him, Yao Shengwei followed Lin Lu closely, bragging to Lin Lu constantly, saying how powerful he is, everything can be done, and let Lin Lu not worry So much.
Zhou Zhong followed behind them in silence, not knowing what they were thinking about.
In a short while, the three of them came to an antique shop. At this time, there were many people inside and outside the antique shop. In the antique shop, a man was making a loud noise.
"You are a big bully!"
"I have long heard that this antique shop is run by the underworld, and it's not reasonable! I didn't expect to meet me today. Everyone came to comment on me. My pearl of the night was handed down from the Qing Dynasty palace. Look at this The degree of mellowness, look at the smooth texture, it's hard to find a thousand dollars! You can't buy it without five million, you broke it for me!"
The more he talked, the more excited he got. He took out his mobile phone and showed everyone the complete picture before Ye Mingzhu. His words were full of anger and righteousness.
The crowd onlookers didn't know the truth. They just saw that what the man said was so true, and there was indeed a pool of fragments of the night pearl on the floor of the shop. Look at the Ye Mingzhu on the man's picture. The color is emerald green and the style is round. It is indeed a rare top-grade.
At this time, an old shopkeeper in the shop came out and said to the man very angrily: "Sir, you can't talk like that, this night pearl was broken by you yourself, how can you blame me?"
The man didn’t dare to stop, and screamed: "What? I broke it and broke it? I'm crazy, I want to hold the five million Ye Mingzhu in my mouth for fear. It is clear that you insist that my Ye Mingzhu is fake , So he didn't care about my Ye Mingzhu, so he threw it to me. Isn't it your fault?"
The old shopkeeper's angry white beard trembles and said: "Your Ye Mingzhu does have a problem, but it is definitely not ours that broke it. I clearly put it in your hand, but you didn't hold it."
The man slapped his thighs and pretended to cry bitterly: "Oh, you black-hearted businessmen, you really are a big bully. How can we ordinary people live! My pearl of the night has been identified by the city's antique masters. It is authentic. Your slander is a fake. Say, I broke it, and where can I go to reason? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will sit at this door and not leave. I will sit for the rest of my life!"
Speaking of the man, he really sat down at the door, and for a while, the crowds from inside and outside all pointed to the antique shop.
The gap between the rich and the poor in this society is huge, causing a lot of imbalances in the society. The use of power to suppress people and bullying people often happen. So gradually people have an attitude in their hearts, no matter what it is, as long as one party has money and money Situation, then this party has a high chance of being the bully.
So many people think that the man is very pitiful at this time, and Ye Mingzhu was thrown off, and there is no place to reason.

Antiques pay attention to a reputation. People with good reputations will believe that your antiques are genuine. Even if there are fakes, people will feel that they have just slapped their eyes for a while and won't care. But if a store loses its credibility, even if you bring out the genuine product, people will think that you are a fake, and they dare not come back to buy something.
Therefore, the antique shop pays attention to the foundation and reputation. This shop has a history of nearly a hundred years. The reputation has always been very good. If this time because of this incident, the reputation is ruined, it is really a loss.
Lin Lu squeezed into the shop from the crowd, her expression was very solemn. Knowing that this incident had too much influence on the shop, she asked the old shopkeeper: "Uncle Ming, what is going on?"
"Miss Lin is here!"
The old shopkeeper was immediately overjoyed when he saw Lin Lu, and quickly told Lin Lu the matter.
It turns out that these two men came to sell Ye Mingzhu, but after his appraisal, although the Ye Mingzhu seems to be genuine, there is always something wrong, but he can't tell him what is wrong. To be safe, he chose not to do this business and returned Ye Mingzhu to the two.
But right after he put Ye Mingzhu into the man's hand and let go, Ye Mingzhu fell to the ground with a snap, and fell to pieces. Then the two men started to make a fuss, insisting on making him lose money, which was five million.
"Miss Lin, don't say whether this Ye Mingzhu is genuine, even if it is genuine, it is not our responsibility. How can we lose money to them?" The old shopkeeper said aggrieved.
Lin Lu understood the situation, nodded slightly, and then looked at the man who was fighting, and said as calmly as possible: "This gentleman, since the matter has happened, we must solve it properly. It is impossible to pay you five million. , Can you show your sincerity in solving the problem?"
After hearing this, Zhou Zhong in the crowd shook his head secretly, Lin Lu was still a little tender. When the two men saw that they were specifically making trouble, Lin Lu came up with a compromise attitude, so the command was led by the nose by these two men.
Sure enough, a smile flashed from the corner of his eyes when the man heard this, and then continued to say angrily: "Solved? You don't want to lose money at all, so what else to solve? According to your meaning, let me say Ye Mingzhu is me. Is it sincere to be broken?"
The crowds onlookers nodded, thinking that the man was right. The store obviously didn't want to lose money, so what else would it solve? Five million Ye Mingzhu, who doesn't feel bad?
Lin Lu really has no experience in dealing with this kind of things, and said a little flusteredly: "Sir, Ye Mingzhu, our shopkeeper, should be in your hands, so you are also responsible for breaking Ye Mingzhu."
"You still want to push the responsibility on me? You step aside, you are a little girl, I won't tell you, call your boss out!" The man waved his hands excitedly.
"Sir, I can completely take charge of things in the store now." Lin Lu said with a serious face.
The man frowned and asked questioningly: "Can you call the shots?"
At this time, Yao Shengwei stood up, and said with an arrogant expression: "Yes, Lulu and I can be the masters. What do you want to say?"
Lin Lu frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Yao Shengwei's actions.
The man looked at Yao Shengwei with disdain and saw that he was just a young man. He didn't care at all. He sneered and asked, "Why, you still want a hero to save the United States? Then you take five million out, and if I lose my money, I will leave immediately. ,how about it?"
Yao Shengwei was dumbfounded, five million? What's a joke, although his family conditions are good, but at most one or two million in deposits, how can there be five million? And he can't get it even if it costs a million!
"Money can't pay you!" Yao Shengwei said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, lacking confidence.
The man immediately laughed.
"If you don't have money, do you still want to be a hero to save the United States? Get out, don't be embarrassed here."
"What did you say?" Yao Shengwei's expression changed and asked angrily.
At this time, the man who had not spoken came over. He was taller than Yao Shengwei, and he was even stronger than Yao Shengwei. He stared at Yao Shengwei with ferocious eyes and asked: "What's the matter? ?"
Yao Shengwei's momentum suddenly weakened.
"Yao Shengwei, you don't need to care about this matter, I will solve it." Lin Lu said to Yao Shengwei, feeling that this guy was doing a disservice.
"Two gentlemen, since the Ye Mingzhu broke in our shop, we have a certain responsibility and can compensate you, but five million is absolutely not. The Ye Mingzhu, our old shopkeeper, has already verified it, and there are certain problems with its authenticity. , Our old shopkeeper is a famous antique master in the antique street, and he will never make a mistake in identification." Lin Lu said to the two men with a serious expression.
The man who had been making trouble heard this and immediately asked in a dissatisfied voice: "Are you saying that our Ye Mingzhu is a fake? I think you are bullying, this Ye Mingzhu has been identified by a master appraisal in the city!"
"Yes, I have authenticated the Pearl of the Night, why do you question my ability to authenticate?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the crowd, wearing a pair of round-framed gold-wire glasses, and said quietly in a polite manner.
"Ah! Isn't that Master Zhang from the antique appraisal program of the city TV station!" Those who can come here are people who love antiques, and naturally know the people in the circle very well, and they recognized this middle-aged person at a glance.
Recently, TV programs on antiques appraisal have been very popular. This middle-aged man claims to have studied antiques for 20 or 30 years. He can tell the authenticity and origin of any antique at a glance. As soon as the program is broadcast, it has attracted many entrepreneurs and wealthy people in the city. People’s favor always find him to identify treasures.
Master Zhang was very proud of seeing someone recognizing himself, and said to Lin Lu arrogantly: "Little girl, when I was playing antiques, you were still in the womb. You are not qualified to question my appraisal ability. Right?"
Lin Lu was also panicked for a while, but she didn't expect that the Pearl of the Night was identified by Master Zhang. Is it true that the Pearl of the Night? Worth five million?
In an instant, the whole situation was very unfavorable for Lin Lu and the antique shop, and the crowd of onlookers began to attack Lin Lu. I don’t know who actually called the reporter of the TV station secretly. At this time, he was recording outside and a reporter kept interviewing. The crowd onlookers all talked about bad things about the antique shop anyway. If this is broadcast, it will be difficult for this antique shop to have business in the future.
For a while, Lin Lu was a little bit anxious and almost crying. This antique shop is the hard work of her cousin's family for nearly a hundred years. If it breaks in her hands, how can she face her cousin in the future?
