Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 107 A complicated situation

"But sir, this is royal jewels from the Tsarist era. The materials are carefully selected, the workmanship is sophisticated, and the craftsmanship is complex. The largest ruby ​​on the necklace is almost 9 carats. We can sell it for at least 4 US dollars. A total profit of 2 US dollars is not a small amount."

Old man Zhao advised, "Besides, I have met the seller. Although he is a refugee from Hong Kong, I think he has seen the world. You must not make things more complicated."

Qian Kun said impatiently, "Alright, alright, take me to have a look first. You can't just say whatever you say. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Old man Zhao was helpless, thinking to himself, you have no idea what's going on. Apart from playing mahjong and eating rice dumplings, you know nothing. If you hadn't coaxed the young lady so hard, the old man would have broken your legs long ago.

Old Zhao took Qian Kun back into the reception room. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qian Kun's voice, "Old Zhao, go do whatever you need first. I'll take care of this guest."

Ma Qing stayed in the reception room for quite a while before he saw Old Man Zhao bringing in a young man in a suit and tie. Ma Qing had to admit that the young man was really good-looking, almost catching up with himself.

Except for the fact that the eyebrows are a little thin, the lips are a little thin, the eye sockets are a little darker, and he looks a bit effeminate with greasy hair and powdered face, everything else is fine.

Seeing that the young man sent the old man away with just a few words, Ma Qing guessed that this man should be the owner of Zhao's Trading Company, otherwise he would not be able to sit in this position at his age and yell at his own appraiser.

"My name is Qian Kun, and I am currently the general manager of Zhao's Jewelry Store. What is your name, sir?" Qian Kun boasted without paying taxes and promoted himself from a manager to a general manager.

"Excuse me, your surname is Ma. I didn't expect that Mr. Qian is the general manager of such a big jewelry store at such a young age. I admire you." Ma Qing thought to himself, your surname is not Zhao, did you really get this position by your own ability? Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. I will sell it if the price is right, and I won't sell it if the price is not right. Even the king would do the same, let alone you, a crappy general manager.

After the introduction, Qian Kun's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the jewel necklace on the table. "Mr. Ma, can I take a look at this?" Qian Kun pointed to the necklace on the table.

"Please do"

Qian Kun took the necklace in his hand, his eyes completely attracted by the huge ruby ​​on the necklace. Although he was uneducated, he could still tell that such a ruby ​​was of good quality.

Qian Kun agreed with Old Man Zhao's offer for the necklace, but a greedy thought began to occupy his heart.

After looking at the necklace, Qian Kun looked at Ma Qing again. Ma Qing was wearing a white shirt, gray pants, and black leather shoes at this time. He looked like an ordinary clerk walking on the streets of Hong Kong. In a word, he was inconspicuous.

"Mr. Ma, where are you now? I see you..." Qian Kun asked tentatively.

Ma Qing was helpless. How many times should he say it himself? He had to ask every time. What the hell was going on?

"I just came from the mainland, and I've almost spent all my money, so I brought you the things passed down by the elders. I'm sorry, I'm so ashamed."

"So that's how it is. But Mr. Ma, your necklace is not very valuable. The largest ruby ​​is fake. Your elderly must have been cheated or swapped. Only the small gems around it are real, but their value is greatly discounted. How about this, according to the current market price, our jewelry store will buy it for 3000 Hong Kong dollars." Qian Kun's thin lips uttered such cold words.

Ma Qing understood immediately. This bastard was really too harsh in lowering the price. 3000 yuan, you are just paying a beggar. "How is this possible? How can this gem be fake? It is definitely real. Look how shiny it is. How can it be fake?" Ma Qing protested.

"Mr. Ma, what you said is unprofessional. How can you tell whether this gem is real or not? It's sparkling or not. Glass is also sparkling when it is cut. Your ruby ​​is just added with red colored glaze." Qian Kun had already made up his mind to make a fortune, and the lie came out of his mouth without hesitation.

"No, no, I won't sell it to you if you say that." Ma Qing pretended to take the necklace back.

Qian Kun took a look, stepped back, and dodged with the necklace in his hand.

“Don’t be so shameless. You are a refugee to Hong Kong and you probably don’t even have an identity. I don’t know where you got a jewelry necklace and you come to me to sell it. Believe it or not, I will call the police to arrest you.” Qian Kun’s threats were almost overflowing.

"You..." Ma Qing was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

But Qian Kun misunderstood and thought he had intimidated Ma Qing. "Giving you 3000 yuan is more than enough. Can't you live a good life with this money?"

"Fuck you." Ma Qing stood up and kicked Qian Kun to the ground. Ma Qing followed closely and stepped on Qian Kun's wrist which was holding the necklace. The embroidered pillow felt pain and his hand loosened immediately. Ma Qing grabbed the necklace and ran out.

Ma Qing opened the door and saw the clerk standing outside. The clerk came over and said, "Mr. Ma, is there anything I can do for you?"

Ma Qing pushed the clerk aside and hurried to the lobby of the jewelry store. He couldn't waste time here. Everyone around him was Qian Kun's people, or at least people from Zhao's Jewelry Store. He would be too passive here. Now that such a thing had happened, the only way was to make a big deal out of it.

Ma Qing ran while shouting, "Someone is robbing me, someone is robbing me." In his heart, he was still thinking, today is really a bad day, all kinds of bad things happened.

Ma Qing had just run to the hall when he heard Qian Kun's exasperated voice behind him, "Catch him! He stole my necklace."

The shop assistants and customers in the hall heard the sound and turned to look over. Especially the shop assistant at the door, his reaction was very quick. Two of them stood in front of the door and closed it, appearing to be very well-trained.

Ma Qing had no plan to leave the store, and if he really ran away now, he would be speechless. Would he have to have another plastic surgery? He had no plan for that at all.

Ma Qing looked around the hall and finally found his target, a young white lady.

Ma Qing ran over quickly. When the white lady saw Ma Qing running over, she subconsciously dodged. Ma Qing saw this and quickly shouted in English: "Help me, help me, someone is trying to rob me."

When the white lady heard Ma Qing's English, she was stunned at first, then looked around and found that everyone was looking at her. She calmed down and said, "Don't panic, just say what you want to say."
