You're killed back on horse guns!
In 2011, when the expert said this sentence, Ma Xiaofeng's heart was already half cold, looking at the bag of ancient coins in front of him, and thought in his heart: It's over!
And the one who killed Ma Xiaofeng back was his trusted eldest brother Liu Xiaojun, and now Liu Xiaojun has disappeared in the city, and Ma Xiaofeng really wants to cry at this time!
So what's going on here? Can Ma Xiaofeng recover his losses?
The antique shop was undercut
In 2011, Ma Xiaofeng was a cargo puller in Dali, Yunnan Province, who usually made a living pulling goods for the market, and he often fantasized about becoming rich, driving luxury cars and living in villas. Perhaps because of God's favor, the urban village where Ma Xiaofeng lived happened to meet the transformation, and he himself received 2 million yuan in demolition and relocation money.
Unlike many nouveau riche, Ma Xiaofeng is not eager to enjoy, but wants to use the money in his hand to fight and become a big boss. When he met him, he found his college and asked what the market is now.
Although his hair Xiao went to college, but where to understand these, he said that it is very profitable to engage in antiques, and it is not a dream to become a billionaire, which made Ma Xiaofeng's eyes shine directly, so he said goodbye to Fa Xiao and came to the antique street alone.
Ma Xiaofeng is not ready to take the antiques industry, just want to take a casual look first, and see for a long time. He came to an antique shop and saw a porcelain bowl with beautiful colors and patterns, so he asked the owner how much the porcelain bowl was sold for.
The boss said 10,000, which made Ma Xiaofeng drop his jaw in shock, this is not an ancient bronze or something, just a broken bowl costs 10,000, he is a little money for demolition, but he is not a fool, how can he spend 10,000 to buy a bowl, is the money of people engaged in antiques all blown by the wind? Seeing that Ma Xiaofeng didn't mean to buy, the boss no longer paid attention to him.
At this time, a voice came from behind me, in case, I want the porcelain bowl, pack it for me. Ma Xiaofeng looked back and saw that it was a man wearing a black robe and sunglasses, thinking that this person should be an expert, since he bid 10,000, then this antique must be worth more than 10,000.
So Ma Xiaofeng directly held the porcelain bowl in his arms and said to the boss that I wanted 10,000, the boss saw that Ma Xiaofeng was so cheerful, quickly agreed, and apologized to the man in black, saying that it was the rule to come first, let him go to see other antiques, this porcelain bowl someone has already wanted.
The man did not get angry, but turned to look at the other items. Ma Xiaofeng very sharply let the boss swipe the card, and after leaving the store, Ma Xiaofeng began to carefully observe the porcelain bowl, and suddenly he found a crack at the bottom of the porcelain bowl, and he knew that once this antique was damaged, the price would be greatly discounted.
Ma Xiaofeng, who was angry, hurriedly returned to the store and asked the boss to return the goods, but he did not expect that the boss said triumphantly: "Little brother, I see that you have just stepped into this industry, I will popularize the rules for you, antique returns are also called 'jumping off the building', which means that the return after the transaction is completed, only half of the refund, and the return after leaving the cabinet, only one-tenth of the refund." ”
This shocked Ma Xiaofeng, he knew that he was trapped, and then the boss said: "Seeing that you are a newcomer, I can refund you by half." At this time, Ma Xiaofeng was dumb and couldn't say anything, he understood that it was difficult to come out with this 5,000 yuan.
Set after set
At this time, a middle-aged man came to Ma Xiaofeng and said, "I heard everything you talked to that man just now, if you still want to mess around in this industry, immediately return the money to him!" The boss who heard this immediately confessed, quickly returned all 10,000 yuan to Ma Xiaofeng, and said to the middle-aged man: "I hope you have a lot of adults, forgive me for this villain!" ”
The middle-aged man did not respond to the boss, but pulled Ma Xiaofeng away and said to him: "The water in this line is very deep, there are no seniors to take it, don't set foot." Ma Xiaofeng nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said to the middle-aged man: "Big brother, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have suffered a big loss, I'll treat you to a meal!" ”
The man did not refuse, and the two ate at a nearby restaurant. During the meal, the middle-aged man also introduced himself, it turned out that his name was Liu Xiaojun, a well-known local antique player.
Ma Xiaofeng saw that he met an expert, so he asked ordinary people whether they could make money doing antiques, Liu Xiaojun took a sip of noodles and slowly said: "Nowadays, this industry is not friendly to newcomers, and ordinary people who rush into the industry will definitely lose their money, unless there are experts to bring it." ”
Hearing this, Ma Xiaofeng also understood what the man meant, and quickly said: "Big brother, do you think I can do it?" You take me, I really want to get ahead. Liu Xiaojun smiled bitterly and said: "This industry is not something you can do if you want to, you need at least 100,000 yuan, do you have it?" ”
Then Liu Xiaojun looked at Ma Xiaofeng with watery eyes, and when he talked about money, Ma Xiaofeng immediately became angry, saying that his home had just been demolished and had 2 million in his hand! This ordered Liu Xiaojun's adrenaline to soar, but he quickly calmed down and tentatively asked, "Then are you willing to follow me in this line?" ”
Ma Xiaofeng waited for this sentence, quickly nodded and agreed, and said that Liu Xiaojun will be his own big brother in the future, and the two also took the opportunity to worship, and then often drank together, although Ma Xiaofeng has always asked Liu Xiaojun to take him to hunt for treasures, but Liu Xiaojun has always said that the market is not good now, wait for a while.
Into the abyss
One day Liu Xiaojun asked Ma Xiaofeng to come out for a drink, and Ma Xiaofeng agreed without thinking, because he found that his eldest brother was really righteous, and most of the people who came out to eat and drink were spent by him, and he prostituted many times in vain, but what Ma Xiaofeng didn't expect was that it was this drinking that plunged him into the abyss.
After the two met, Liu Xiaojun took out an ancient coin from his pocket and put it on the table, and said to Ma Xiaofeng: "Brother, this is the Guangxu Yuanbao, now this ingots are purchased at a price of about 20,000 in other places, and in Dali it is only less than 10,000, and some are even 6,000. ”
Ma Xiaofeng felt that this was too good to earn money, so he asked suspiciously: "Then isn't this just picking up money?" Is the antiques industry really so good to make money? Liu Xiaojun smiled bitterly: "Of course it's not so easy, this kind of ancient coin is difficult to find, one coin is difficult to find, you can find 10 in Dali and break the sky." ”
Hearing this, Ma Xiaofeng said ruefully: "It seems that money is not easy to earn!" Immediately after that, Liu Xiaojun said: "Brother, you can try to collect a few first, and then when the time comes, I will buy 15,000 coins for you, and we will both earn 5,000 for one." Although Ma Xiaofeng still felt that he was still not very reliable, he thought that his eldest brother did not spend less money just by inviting himself to eat during this time, so he chose to believe him and agreed to Liu Xiaojun.
After that, Liu Xiaojun rode a tricycle to the streets every day, and his luck was also good, in just one week, he found 3 pieces, all of which were purchased at some stalls for prices ranging from 6,000 to 8,000.
After having three coins, Ma Xiaofeng quickly contacted Liu Xiaojun, who was also very cheerful and immediately gave him 45,000, but also asked where he bought it from and how much money he used to buy it.
In the time after that, Liu Xiaojun asked Ma Xiaofeng to collect all kinds of ancient coins, and the prices were different, and Ma Xiaofeng earned hundreds of thousands of yuan in just three months, and Ma Xiaofeng felt that money was so easy to earn for the first time.
Suddenly, one day, Liu Xiaojun said to Ma Xiaofeng that the price of Guangxu Yuanbao has risen sharply recently, and the price of one has been speculated to 100,000 yuan in Xinjiang, and Liu Xiaojun asked Ma Xiaofeng to collect Guangxu Yuanbao in the shortest possible time, and then sell it to him immediately to prevent the price from falling.
Ma Xiaofeng knew the seriousness of the matter, and did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly searched for Guangxu Yuanbao in the entire city, and even looked for it in nearby counties and cities, but only found a few.
Ma Xiaofeng, who was eating in a restaurant that day, saw a peasant woman carrying a bag in, and suddenly a male guest bumped into her, the items in the bag were scattered all over the place, Ma Xiaofeng rubbed his eyes in disbelief, it turned out to be all Guangxu Yuanbao, he has long known this ancient coin, naturally he will not admit it.
So he quickly went to help the woman and help him pack ancient coins, Ma Xiaofeng asked the woman how she had so many ancient coins, and the woman thanked her while saying that this was his family's heirloom, and someone contacted her to buy these ancient coins.
Ma Xiaofeng, who heard this, became anxious, and quickly asked the person how much money he paid, and the woman said: "8,000 a piece." When Ma Xiaofeng heard this, he quickly said that he had bought 10,000 coins, and hoped that the woman would sell them to him.
Then the two began to negotiate about the ancient coins, and finally the peasant woman decided to sell it to Ma Xiaofeng for 8,000, and Ma Xiaofeng was very happy and immediately called his eldest brother Liu Xiaojun to tell the good news.
Liu Xiaojun asked him to buy them all quickly, because the price of Guangxu Yuanbao in Xinjiang has been falling, from 100,000 to 80,000. This made Mao Xiaofeng nervous, quickly hung up the phone, took all his savings to buy ancient coins, and finally spent a penny of his more than 2 million savings.
But what Ma Xiaofeng never expected was that after he purchased the Guangxu Yuanbao, he could not contact Liu Xiaojun at all, and at this time he already had a sense of foreboding, but thinking of hundreds of Guangxu Yuanbao on his body, he was relieved.
After a long time when Liu Xiaojun could not be contacted, Ma Xiaofeng thought of going to the antique store to sell these Guangxu ingots first, so as not to lose money when he got the price reduction. But what Liu Xiaojun didn't expect was that when he identified the ingots in the antique shop, he actually said that the ingots were fake.
At this time, Ma Xiaofeng's heart was already half cold, and he hurriedly went to the Cultural Relics Bureau to find an expert for identification, and the results were obvious, all of them were fakes. Liu Xiaojun set a big trap for himself, and all his demolition money was lost, which made Ma Xiaofeng want to cry without tears.
epilogue
Ma Xiaofeng continued to do the work of delivering goods, no longer thinking about getting something for nothing, and those evil people would eventually get retribution, and two years later, the news was that Liu Xiaojun was tried by the court for fraud.
This also tells us that there will be no pie in the sky, only traps, and those who teach you to make money for no reason are likely to want to make money from you.
