Chapter 200 Look down on
"Xiaoyong, where are your parents?" Fatty Liu asked in a low voice after returning home.
"When we first came to Germany, they had a car accident." Liu Yong explained, and then said: "I really want to thank you both this time. In fact, the business of the restaurant at home has not been very good. If there is no funds,
, I’m afraid it’s about to close.”
Only then did Fatty Liu realize that Liu Yong's parents had passed away long ago. No wonder the old lady didn't want to say anything more in the hospital.
Liu Yong took out the objects one by one, Yang Bo conducted appraisal and valuation, and Fatty Liu made the final classification and summary statistics.
The three of them cooperated tacitly, and even though the collection contained more than 900 pieces, it took the three of them four or five hours to compile all the collections.
After more than ten minutes, Fatty Liu finally raised his head. Yang Bo and Liu Yong both looked at him, eager to get the final statistical results.
Fatty Liu hesitated for a while, but finally said: "There are a total of twelve genuine items worth 30,000 euros, and the remaining 971 fake items, 340 of which have invoices, should be able to be returned."
Liu Yong nodded, waved his hands towards the two of them and said, "It's late at night and everyone is tired. Let's go to bed early."
Seeing Liu Yong behaving like this, Yang Bo and Yang Bo didn't say much and went back to their rooms. Everyone knew that Liu Yong was in a very bad mood now. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stuff is equivalent to several million dollars. After calculation, in the end,
Being able to exchange it for two to three hundred thousand US dollars is considered pretty good.
On the second day, Liu Jiajun insisted on being discharged from the hospital. The old lady felt that it would be too painful for him to see each collection being sold, so she refused to let him leave the hospital.
Yang Bo and Fatty Liu accompanied Liu Yong to various stores to return the goods with the counterfeit goods and invoices.
In real terms, part of what Liu Jiajun bought was contemporary art, but it was treated as antiques for his collection. Most stores still allow returns and exchanges, but only a few stores do not allow returns because some invoices are too long.
Everyone has changed.
Of course, part of it was because the store had closed down and could not be returned or exchanged. After a busy morning, they returned more than 20 items and got back more than 20,000 US dollars. There was still more that they could not return.
The three of them found a place to eat. Fatty Liu looked at Liu Jiajun, "Our efficiency is too poor. We visited six restaurants in total this morning. This is because they are relatively close. There are two that have gone bankrupt in the middle. If you want to return them all,
, this is not something that happens in a day or two!”
Liu Yong nodded. He also understood the truth, but he just didn't know what to do.
"Uncle, is there anything you can do?" Liu Yong looked over.
Fatty Liu smiled and said, "Looking for someone to run around. After all, there are so many of us. It's really difficult for the three of us to do the job. The key is that Yang Bo and I don't understand German. We don't have a driver's license here, so we can only return the goods with you, and
There is no way to act on your own.”
"Okay, I'll call a few friends to help. But next, we have to rely on the two of us to help take charge of the overall situation." Liu Yong said.
Fatty Liu nodded, "Don't worry."
After hiring someone, the next step was much faster. Yang Bo and the other three classified the invoices below, so that the artworks from a certain company could be put together and then handed over to those people. Then they took the invoices to return the goods.
.
Liu Yong was considered a generous man, and actually found five groups of people in the afternoon. Yang Bo was busy sorting, and he didn't pay too much attention. When he turned around, he found that most of the items had been given away, and the rest could not be returned.
.
In the end, there were six antiques left in the family. Fatty Liu glanced at them and said to Liu Yong: "There are still these few pieces left. Let's go there in person."
Liu Yong nodded. He originally planned to stay and pack things, but Yang Bo and the two helped so much that he had to drive the car to take them to the antique store.
When the three of them arrived, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, and they were about to get off work in about half an hour. Liu Yong was busy going over to discuss the return.
Yang Bo was walking in the shop, observing the artworks around him. There were not many art shops in Potsdam, and Liu Jiajun also bought some of them in other cities, so two of them were already on the way, but he didn’t know if they could.
Returned.
There are various works of art in the store, including Western oil paintings, sculptures, Chinese porcelain, Japanese lacquerware, and ancient Egyptian goldware. Of course, Yang Bo can see that most of them are imitations, which are also commonly known as works of art. No wonder Liu Jiajun
The prices of the items purchased are not high.
Yang Bo's eyes quickly fell on a set of porcelain, because this set of porcelain was imitated after the Ge Kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty in China. The Ge Kiln porcelain was one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty and the only palace kiln in history.
It is a rare treasure of the court porcelain-making craftsmanship of the Northern Song Dynasty. Currently, there is only one Ge Kiln porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty remaining in the world.
The most obvious feature of Ge kiln is the existence of chafer pattern on the glaze. This kind of crack is extremely unique and makes people obsessed with it. There are many imitations in later generations.
When Yang Bo saw this set of porcelain, his first impression was that it looked like imitations, because the color of this set of Ge Kiln porcelain was a bit bright and did not look like antiques at all.
However, Yang Bo still glanced at it subconsciously, and brilliance flashed before his eyes, and Yang Bo was immediately stunned.
Liu Yong has already negotiated a price with the salesman, and a discount will be required for returns here. However, for Liu Yong, being able to withdraw will even make up for the loss, so he can only accept it.
Yang Bo noticed a blond female salesperson standing in front of him. He pointed at the set of three pieces of Ge Kiln porcelain and asked in English: "How much does it cost?"
The salesman glanced at it, raised his head, and said nothing.
Yang Bo frowned and asked again in English.
The saleswoman muttered something, but Yang Bo didn't understand.
Liu Yong came over and said angrily in German to the saleswoman.
Yang Bo didn't understand, but looking at the female salesperson's expression just now, he knew what she was thinking. Yang Bo pulled Liu Yong and asked him to go directly to the manager.
Liu Yong glanced at Fatty Liu and saw that he had no objection, so he asked the other party in German to call out the manager.
The manager was a round-faced man in his forties. When he saw Yang Bo and the others, he looked arrogant and wanted to ask the reason.
Yang Bo didn't want to talk to the other party, so he took out the check from his wallet, still on the counter, and pointed at the three pieces of Ge Kiln and said: "I want to buy them!"
This check was still the one million euros that Yang Bo had not had time to redeem.
The manager was disdainful at first, but he was stunned when he saw the number on the check. One million euros can buy almost 80% of the store. They can't afford to take out a check of such an amount.
The manager quickly bowed and apologized, and the saleswoman was so frightened that she quickly bowed.
Yang Bo couldn't understand what the other party said, so he put away the check and asked the other party to pack up the Ge kiln. Then he swiped the card and left.
Chapter completed!
