Chapter 216 Substituting one thing for another
Seeing this, Zhuang Lao San said, "I'll call Linglong Teahouse and ask if Boss Wei is still there. If he's still here, take your things and come with me. It won't take long, and you'll feel at ease once you find out."
Sheng Yuquan nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhuang Laosan then called Linglong Teahouse.
"Is Boss Wei still in the teahouse? Oh, he's out? Okay, if he comes back, please ask him to wait. Second Master Sheng wants to see him. This time tomorrow? It's urgent. Please help me find him. Okay, let's get in touch."
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Lao San said, "The teahouse said that Boss Wei is out. I'll call him back later."
Sheng Yuquan nodded, his brows furrowed as he carefully compared the two porcelain plates in his hands.
"I can't tell the difference. Is this really fake?"
Zhuang Lao San said, "Although the carvings look exactly the same, the feel is definitely different, a bit dry. Second Master, you know that today's counterfeiting technology is very advanced. Especially the Bai family. When they show me their works, I have to study them carefully before I can tell the difference."
Sheng Yuquan gritted his teeth.
What a coincidence...
I got this thing from someone named Bai.
After a while, Zhuang Laosan made another call.
"Excuse me, is Boss Wei here? Okay, tell him Second Master Sheng wants to see him, and we'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Lao San said, "Second Master, Boss Wei is in the teahouse now, let's go over there!"
Sheng Yuquan stood up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll really put this away first."
The two returned to the teahouse and met Wei Chengzhou.
His expression was not very good: "No returns or exchanges after sale! Zhuang Lao San, you know the rules of the trade."
"No, no, no, we don't want to return the goods. We just want you to help take a look at the goods." Zhuang Lao San explained.
"Let me help you take a look? Is there something that you, Zhuang Lao San, are not sure about?" Wei Chengzhou didn't quite believe it.
Sheng Yuquan placed the brocade box on the table and opened it.
Wei Chengzhou said with a dark face: "Isn't this the one I sold you?"
"No, this is exactly the same one I just told you." Sheng Yuquan said.
Wei Chengzhou picked up the porcelain plate in surprise and looked at it carefully, then said, "Although the workmanship is very good, yours is a replica."
Sheng Yuquan's heart finally died.
"Did you buy this from the Bai family?" Wei Chengzhou asked.
"Why do you say that?" Sheng Yuquan said.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. The moment the door opened, Wei Chengzhou hurriedly put the porcelain plate in his hand under the table.
"This is the Longjing tea you ordered." The waiter placed the tea on the table.
"Okay, don't come in unless I call you." Wei Chengzhou said.
"Okay, sorry to bother you."
After the waiter left, Wei Chengzhou took the porcelain plate and placed it in the brocade box.
"Only the Bai family can make something so real that it's hard to tell the difference between the real thing and the fake. Their imitation skills are superb." Wei Chengzhou said with a smile.
Sheng Yuquan's face turned pale, and he said unhappily, "What's the use of having good craftsmanship? Fake is fake after all."
Wei Chengzhou smiled and said, "It would be nice to put it at home as a decoration."
Sheng Yuquan picked up the brocade box with a dark face and left angrily.
"Boss Wei, see you later." Zhuang Lao San said and followed him.
Wait for Sheng Yuquan's car to leave.
Bo Song came out from the next room.
"Did you get it?"
Wei Chengzhou took out a white porcelain plate from the secret compartment under the table.
"You always give me problems. Selling the goods is easy enough, but you actually asked me to exchange them..."
Bai Song took the porcelain plate and examined it carefully.
"I've checked it. His is the real thing. You're so mean. You took two fake ones and exchanged them for the real thing, and even took so many gold bars from them. This deal... you're bound to get rich!" Wei Chengzhou teased.
"This originally belonged to me, but he stole it. Because of this incident, I lost a sum of money and had to pay the customer a better one. These gold bars are what he should compensate me for." Bo Song said as he carefully packed the porcelain plate.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that someone would steal from you, too?"
"This is for you." Bai Song handed Wei Chengzhou a few gold bars.
Wei Chengzhou accepted it cheerfully: "Thank you!"
"You should go out and hide for a few days. Mr. Sheng will probably give that porcelain plate to Mr. Sheng as a birthday gift. If you take it out in front of everyone, who knows what it is, it might be discovered by someone who knows the business." Bai Song said.
"So what if he found out? The payment and goods have been settled, and there is no refund or exchange. This is the rule. Besides, the industry leader Zhuang Lao San said it was true, who would doubt it?" Wei Chengzhou winked at him.
"Didn't you just say that being safe is better than being cautious? You'd better be more careful! The Sheng family is not easy to deal with. This Second Master Sheng acts without considering the consequences. If you are caught by him, your life will be in danger. Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Bai Song put the brocade box and gold bars in a suitcase, then went downstairs and left through the back door.
"Master, how is it?" Xu Shuisheng asked hurriedly when he saw Bai Song coming.
"The porcelain plate that was replaced was in Sheng Yuquan's hands, and I have now taken it back using a trick. Sheng Yuquan doesn't understand porcelain, he's not an expert on it." Bai Song frowned.
"He doesn't know anything about this? Yet he was able to accurately locate the underground palace and then deal with us? There must be someone behind him."
Bo Song thought for a moment and said, "It's also possible that he was used as a pawn. Let's go to the dock warehouse and see what Cui Dong has to say."
As soon as the car arrived at the door of the dock warehouse, Bai Fugui came to greet it.
"Master, that person called. But he arrived a little later than the agreed time. I followed your instructions and stayed away from him. I didn't go over."
"A little late? It seems that it was right not to follow him. There should be someone monitoring Cui Dong nearby. This person is cautious and deliberately called a little late just to see if anyone is following Cui Dong." Bai Song said.
After entering the house, Bo Song saw Cui Dong tied to a chair.
"What do they say over there?" asked Bo Song.
Cui Dong replied, "I did what you said, Young Master. I told him the goods would arrive tomorrow night. He told me to go to the safe deposit box at Guangyuan Bank tomorrow to get the goods, and then put the real thing back in the safe deposit box after the goods are exchanged."
Bo Song frowned.
"Master, what's wrong?" Bai Fugui asked.
Bo Song shook his head: "Nothing, just proceed as planned."
He thought the man would change his strategy.
Fang Yun has already run away, and no one told him what the goods are. How can he exchange them?
Is it a trick?
Let's wait and see! If what Cui Dong brings back tomorrow is indeed the same as what he shipped, it means the traitor is still in the kiln factory.
Bo Song rubbed his aching temples.
"Shuisheng, check if the call is from Master Sheng Er."
"Yes."
If the traitor is still there, we will be in trouble.
If the shipment cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely safe, it cannot be done.
