Chapter 114 Scam
Maybe I don't know which lifetime the fat man's family accumulated virtues, and passed down such a family heirloom.

It's nothing if you don't pick up such a bargain.

As long as you pick it up, you will be rich and wealthy.

But is this credible?
If there is such a good thing, why not sell it to a pawn shop?

Although the money given by the pawn shop will be greatly reduced, it is still much better than selling it on the street, right?
At this time, the thin man pretended to ask: "You said it is a family heirloom? This thing looks quite ordinary, but it is a bit old. How can we believe you?"

There is also a realm to being a supporter, and you have to make full use of the audience's psychology.

At this time, you must not mention the purchase. You have to follow the psychology of the masses and raise questions. Only in this way will the doubts be answered, and others will believe it more.

Otherwise, this support would be too obvious and lacking in quality.

He has professional ethics.

At this time, everyone was in turmoil, but they were also afraid of being deceived. Copper pots with bird patterns were also common at this time, but the one in the fat man's hand looked as if it was from a long time ago.

But no one wanted to spend a lot of money, so everyone remained silent, hoping to wait for someone who specialized in curating antiques and had a sharp eye to figure out the secrets.

The thin man took advantage of this mentality of everyone and deliberately raised questions.

Anyway, the fat man will not be stumped, and they are well prepared for the follow-up work.

The fat man turned the copper pot with the bird pattern over and pointed at the words engraved on the copper bottom: "Can this word still be fake? My mother said before she was alive that this is a small edition. I can use it in the future. It is not for giving. I will definitely not use it for my father’s treatment.”

He brought the pot to the thin man: "Look, look!"

The thin man pretended to look at it carefully and nodded: "Yes, this word looks old."

Are you kidding me? They deliberately make old things so they don't look old.

Everyone was a little doubtful at first, but when they saw the thin man's reaction, they all felt itchy in their hearts.

All kinds of thoughts came to my mind.

There was even a squire who whispered to the boy next to him: "Go home quickly and get some banknotes. Don't be unable to buy them for a while. I just bought them for use."

Su Mo curled her lips noncommittally:

The preparations are quite sufficient. For those who don't know how to do it, it's enough to do this. It's not difficult to defraud some money. But if you meet someone who knows how to do it, this guy will be in trouble.

If nothing else, it’s because Fatty can’t even tell the difference between a large edition and a small edition.

It's okay if you can't tell the difference. You can just compile a book.

But in order to increase credibility, the fat man confidently said that this was a small compilation.

The large edition has a neat line structure, giving people a uniform and soft feeling; the small edition is more rectangular in shape, and the line thickness is basically the same.

If you look carefully, you can still see the difference.

But well...

No one in the circle seemed to notice anything was wrong, so Su Mo didn't say anything and continued to watch the show.

Seeing that the hype was almost done, Chaizi asked at the right time: "How much do you plan to sell this for?"

The fat man seemed stunned.

"This..." He looked at a loss and looked a little nervous, "I, I don't know how much this can sell for."

"If you don't negotiate the price, how can we buy it? Otherwise, you come with me and sell this to me. I will definitely not lose money to you." The dwarf's outfit looked like someone with a little money, so he said , as if he has taken a liking to this family heirloom.

As soon as he opened his mouth, those people who were itchy became excited. "How can I go with you? We're interested in him too."

"That's right, you let him go without even asking the price. What if you cheated this little brother? His father is still waiting to use the money."

"Brother, tell me a price and we'll see if we can afford it."

"Yes, there are so many of us here, we will definitely not lose you. One look at that little boy will make you feel uneasy."

“Things are what everyone likes, and the one with the highest price gets them.”

"Little brother, just feel free to negotiate the price."

Su Mo smiled on the side. It seemed that there were many hot-headed people rushing to give her money today.

But today Fatty only brought out one antique. If he could bring out a few more, I'm afraid he could earn even more.

After all, it is human nature to be greedy for petty gains, and these three scammers know how to take advantage of these people's nature.

Just when Su Mo was thinking about it, he saw the fat man kneeling on the ground with a plop, crying out in pain.

"Woohoo ... Good people, you are all good people. If you haven't met you, I don't know what to do. I go to pawnshop. I will give me [-] silver." He observed everyone's faces and thought, well...the price is not high.

He continued: "But I know this is a good thing, it has been passed down from generation to generation by my mother, and the money is not enough to pay for my father's medical treatment, so I want to try my luck on the street to see if I can raise enough money. "

Seeing the fat man crying hoarsely, an enthusiastic old man stepped forward to help him up: "Good boy, stop crying. Those people in the pawn shop are like this. If you don't understand, they will kill you." There are so many people here, we will definitely be able to get enough, don’t worry.”

"It's just a mere ten taels of silver. I have it. I bought this." A man dressed as a scholar shouted from the crowd.

Just in time, he wanted to give his husband a gift, and this one was just right.

"Go, go, go. Don't you see that's the money given by the pawnshop? They didn't sell it. What's wrong? You have more faces than the pawnshop? Why did you give it to you?"

"I'll pay 12 taels." The scholar gritted his teeth.

"I'll give you 12 taels. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. I'll give you 15 taels."

"18 taels."

...

Su Mo watched as these cheap people fell into the trap and unknowingly raised the price. Many people even made a fuss over this fake antique and became blushing and thick-necked.

She couldn't help but think of the tricks those scammers used in her previous life, weren't they exactly the same as before her?

They all use the mentality of others being greedy for small things/cheap or getting something for nothing, and they always feel that if a pie falls from the sky, they can hit it for themselves.

But I don’t want to think about whether my area is large enough, or whether I am just so lucky. Not to mention that the pie will not fall from the sky, even if the pie does fall, how can it hit you?
She still remembers that when she was in college, she once went to train for someone else. A girl in the class said she wanted to go to northern Myanmar.

She said the wages there were high and she would go there to make a lot of money.

Su Mo asked her at that time: "Going to northern Myanmar? Then you have to think about it. It's okay for you to go, but do you want to come back in one piece or piece by piece? Maybe you won't even be able to come back."

In the end, Su Mo really tried hard to persuade and educate her, and after showing the girl various videos and information, she finally gave up her thoughts.

Can you say she is naive?

At that time, there was overwhelming information about fraud in northern Myanmar and information about the inhuman treatment suffered in that place, but some people were blindfolded.

It's really annoying and hateful.
