Chapter 52: Henry's Test
On the way, although Li Yi had been talking to Henry and Jason, he had been thinking about the next plan in his mind.
It is not easy to make money while standing.
The first thing is to find the jade, not for anything else but because the jade is real.
This is important!
Although Li Yi wants to make money now, he does not want to make money by deceiving people. This is not only unethical, but may also cause disputes and even be regarded as a fraudster.
Therefore, what is sold to Henry must be genuine.
And the only piece of jade that he could be sure was authentic and valuable at present.
Secondly, Henry must completely believe in himself, otherwise, the other party may not be willing to pay a high price for the piece of jade!
Although this boy has only one friend now, but through Li Yi's observation of him, this Henry is definitely not a fool!
In other words, there are not many fools among foreigners who dare to do business in Guangzhou and Shenzhen!
Their purpose is the same, which is to make money. Can a fool make money?
Even if there are a few people who are stupid and have a lot of money, they don't care and deliberately take advantage of them.
In fact, Li Yi has always known that Henry clearly saw something was wrong with the finger pull just now!
But he didn't say it. Instead, he said a ridiculous price of one hundred pounds!
You must know that one pound can be exchanged for about 11 yuan in Dragon Kingdom currency. One hundred pounds is equivalent to 1,100 yuan, which is a lot!
Obviously, it's not just Li Yi who is testing Henry, Henry is also testing Li Yi!
Henry wanted to see if Li Yi was reliable!
Henry's family advocates the concept of profit first!
As long as they can bring you reasonable benefits, they are all friends!
Obviously, as long as Li Yi showed a little greed just now, this guy would immediately turn around and leave.
However, compared to Li Yi, an old fox who has been practicing for two lifetimes, Henry is just a fledgling boy. How can he hide these tricks from Li Yi!
So, pass easily!
Along the way, Li Yi completely transformed into a translator and tour guide for the two of them. Not only did he introduce all the scenery along the way to the two of them, but he also talked about some local customs and customs, which made the two of them fascinated.
Li Yi in his previous life was definitely well-informed and knowledgeable.
Not only because he has read thousands of books, but more importantly, in his previous life, he traveled almost all over the country to find his daughter.
Not to mention big cities like Guangshen, he has been to even the most remote mountainous areas, so his knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Soon, the group of three people arrived at the main entrance of Dongyuan Antique Market.
"arrive!"
Hearing Li Yi's words, Henry and Jason looked up at the same time, and sure enough they saw a huge iron sign, hanging high on an arch.
The foreign brothers could vaguely see the bustling scene in the market from here!
The crowds and hustle and bustle made them speechless.
"It's really lively here! It looks even more spectacular than the market in Birmingham!"
Hearing Henry's words, Li Yi felt a flash of disdain in his heart. What is the population of Birmingham?
That place is barely a small county town in Longguo. How can it be compared with Guangshen, which has a population of over 10 million?
But he just thought about this idea to himself, and of course he wouldn't expose it!
"Each one has its own merits. Dongyuan Antique Market is larger and has more people flow, but it is not standardized here!"
Then, Li Yi continued: "Although the market in Birmingham is not as big as here, it is more mature and standardized. The most important thing is that you can buy the best rum in Europe there!"
Hearing Li Yi's words, Henry and Jason looked at each other, smiled and nodded, feeling quite comfortable.
No one likes to hear other people praise their country, and this is true for both Henry and Jason.
While chatting, several people had already arrived at the entrance of Dongyuan Market.
Li Yi came to the north gate this time and deliberately avoided the west gate. The reason was that he had already seen the west gate yesterday and did not have the treasure he was looking for.
"Come, come, take a look, they are all collectible antiques! If you can't buy them, you will suffer a loss, and you can't be fooled!"
Hearing this sentence, Li Yi frowned immediately.
Can you still buy and sell antiques this way?
This is the first time I’ve seen it!
Then, Li Yi walked towards the stall.
As soon as Li Yi heard this kind of hawking, he knew that this person must be selling fake goods, and the hawking was just to attract the attention of foreigners.
As for the reason, it is very simple. People who really understand the antique industry believe in one thing.
Only what you want, or what you encounter, is meaningful to you, and only then can you keep it!
It's not yours, even if it's forced upon you, you can't keep it.
But now Li Yi did not avoid the hawkers, but walked directly over with Henry and others.
His purpose is very simple, that is to delay time!
It is necessary to create an illusion for Henry and Jason, that is, there are no genuine goods in this huge antique market. In fact, this is indeed the case!
But at this time, it would be reasonable for him to take out the treasure he had prepared!
But all of this must be based on Wei Sanpao's ability to find the jade and his ability to delay time perfectly!
At this time, it's all about cooperation!
"Henry, my friend, let me show you these good things in Dongyuan Market!"
Henry was immediately interested when he heard Li Yi's words, and said that there was no problem!
Li Yi pulled a smile that looked very sincere and flawless at the corner of his mouth, and slowly came to the stall.
The stall owner of this stall stopped his hawking when he saw someone coming, and looked at Li Yi with a smile on his face:
"Hey, brother, I just got a lot of good things, all of which are old things. Are you interested?"
"Let's take a look!" Li Yi said lightly.
"Just take a look, just tell me which one you like, and I'll tell you the story behind it!" The stall owner said enthusiastically.
Li Yi's eyes slowly narrowed. This stall owner was obviously very resourceful, and he actually used such a trick to attract people's attention!
If ordinary people heard this, most of them would think that these little things on his stall were all from a good background!
But Li Yi was obviously not so easy to fool. He immediately stepped forward and began to pick and choose on the stall, looking very serious.
The stall owner's eyes were fixed on Li Yi, not blinking.
As early as when Li Yi brought the two foreigners into Dongyuan Market, the stall owner noticed Li Yi.
From Li Yi's conversation with the two people, he could find that the relationship between the two foreigners and Li Yi was definitely not ordinary.
So as long as Li Yi was taken down, there would be hope for his business today!
