Chapter 1442: Astronomical Compensation
"I invited the lobby manager, who was also recruited from a treasure appraisal shop. At first, he thought the middle-aged man was just bragging. After all, he didn't dress like someone from the antique circle. He was very shabby."
"But when I saw the mandarin duck pot he took out, I weighed it in my hand."
"Even if the authenticity cannot be determined, it can be seen that the other party is not just talking, but he does know something about antiques."
"He immediately told me about it. I happened to be working in the office at the time. When I heard this, I went to the first floor to meet this middle-aged man."
"And then this happened..." Hongda said, hammering his head lower.
How did he know that the middle-aged man was selling fake goods? He originally just thought that he could make a small amount of money through the middle-aged man's goods.
After all, doing antique business can extract more profits from it.
And the price given by the middle-aged man is really too favorable.
He was suspicious at first, so he hired a master from Tianlexing to appraise the Yuanyang Pot.
This master master is quite famous in Nanling City. He is sure that it is genuine. Hongda certainly has no doubts.
The day after he got the Yuanyang Pot, he printed out a booklet, printed all the antiques collected this year on the booklet, and sent it to his friends in the circle.
The first person to contact him was Deng Yunjin.
But at that time, the Yuanyang Pot was still stored in a warehouse in Yangzhou.
So the two signed a subscription agreement at that time, and the reason why they agreed to the outrageous terms was because he believed that the pot in his hand was genuine.
"Since you collected it in the store, why did you send it to the warehouse in Yangzhou?" Mr. Huo asked sharply.
His store is not open in other places, so how can he send his goods to Yangzhou.
I can't figure out how to explain this.
Hongda didn't want to say it at first, but now, he knew that if he didn't tell the matter clearly, he would be found guilty of being connected with the forgery cultural relics gang.
Just tell the truth.
It turns out that Hongda is not an honest person either.
In the antiques circle, transactions are usually conducted on a one-to-one basis, and no one else is allowed to ask for a price before a buyer leaves his position.
But he used flyers to promote it, and many people would be interested in a cultural relic at the same time.
Hongda thought about showing it to a few more companies, and whoever gave more money would eventually sell the items to him.
In the end, it was Deng Yunjin who paid the highest price.
So he rejected the price offered by the Yangzhou boss overnight and transported the cultural relics back from Yangzhou.
It is this greed that harms me.
Mr. Huo's face turned livid when he heard this, and he was furious.
As a person in the antiques circle, how could he tolerate his subordinates doing such stupid things.
What's more, I didn't expect that Hongda, who has always been a relatively honest person, would have his brain corrupted by money.
He couldn't help but feel regretful.
Hongda knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. I didn't want to disrupt the market order, I just wanted to make more money."
"Isn't one restaurant enough for you?" Mr. Huo puffed his beard and glared. He invested in this hotel. While running the hotel, Hongda bought antiques for second-hand sales. This was also his tacit approval, and he was considered an old employee. benefits.
However, there was one thing he absolutely couldn't tolerate.
It means betraying yourself.
Now it seems that even Hongda, who has been with him for 30 years, is no longer trustworthy.
Mr. Huo's anger was mixed with sighs, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
Losing some money doesn't matter to him, but if his subordinates blatantly break the rules of the game, it will make it impossible for him to survive in the industry.
The material loss caused by this incident was not great, but the impact on his reputation was very bad.
What will others think of the Huo family if word spreads that they condone counterfeit goods?
The most important thing is if what Fan Jian said is true.
Next, Nanling City may face a situation where counterfeit goods are rampant.
If there are too many fakes, the transaction volume will inevitably decrease.
The Nanling Antique Trading Market, which was not very warm to begin with, has become even worse after this incident.
No wonder the Fan family sent Fan Jian to investigate the matter. If collectors and buyers bought a large number of genuine fakes, their enthusiasm for buying would be greatly dampened, which would be fatal to everyone in their circle.
And the origin of all this turned out to be his own subordinates' greed for money!
Hongda knelt on the ground and said: "Master, actually I can't help it. My wife has a rare disease. To treat it, it will cost more than 20 yuan for surgery. How can I get so much money now!"
It turned out to be the case.
Lin Ran finally figured it out. If it were anyone else, many people would decisively choose not to do business with Deng Yunjin because he was too skinny.
Although Mr. Huo is a relatively domineering person, he still has some feelings for his subordinates.
After hearing about this, he calmed down a little.
"This happened. Why didn't you tell me directly?"
A mere 20 is nothing to the Huo family.
However, for an ordinary person, this number is enough to crush a family.
Of course Mr. Huo doesn't know.
Hongda was really loyal to his family and did not tell the matter. He was worried about causing trouble to the Huo family, so he decided to raise money through his own method.
Everyone else was a little moved by Hong Da's performance, except Fan Jian who always had a sneer.
"Okay, stop acting. It's none of my business whether your wife dies or not, but you destroyed the trading order in Nanling. How are you going to explain this to our Fan family?"
His words were full of questions.
Hongda knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, unable to explain at all.
He is an ordinary antique dealer.What can be done?
Regarding this matter, Mr. Huo was also at a loss.
"Nephew Fan, how much loss your family has suffered, I will compensate you first."
"Compensate? Are you kidding me?" Fan Jian has no respect for Mr. Huo at all. He just gave him some face for the sake of delicious food.
Now, everything has been said.
Of course he wanted the Huo family to understand how much damage they had caused to the Fan family and the entire trading market in the southeast region.
"You can compensate if you want. According to the research of our internal experts, there are at least 100 counterfeit products flowing into the market this time. Through the influence of the counterfeit products, it will take at least three years to eliminate them. The losses in these three years..."
As he reported the numbers, Xu Tianhua next to him kept pressing the keys on the computer.
Finally, we came up with a terrifying number.
"One hundred and eighty-two million, even if the fraction is wiped out, can you afford to pay for it?"
