Chapter 419 The Truth
Unlike professional auction houses, these jade auctions don't have strict review processes. They're similar to gambling on rough stones, and they carry a lot of risk.

That's a unique feature of auctions; whether you can buy something good depends entirely on your luck and your eye for quality.

"Based on my experience, this is definitely a piece of genuine jade, and moreover, it's an antique jade," Chen Wei said, offering his opinion.

"Does Mr. Chen often collect jade?" Wu Feng asked.

"No." Chen Wei shook his head. "I only started playing recently."

"It's not surprising that people would call the real fake and the fake real," Wu Feng laughed. "Judging from the atmosphere here, Mr. Chen, you should be able to sense that if my jade were fake, would so many people be bidding against it? Conversely, why did no one bid against you during the auction? The reason shouldn't be hard to understand, right?"

"It's not hard to understand, but there's a saying that truth is often in the hands of a minority."

But you are all alone.

Just when Wu Feng thought he had Chen Wei cornered, Su Qingyue's voice came over, "Who said he was alone? I believe him!"

"President Su, I started learning about jade when I was three years old, and it's been almost twenty years now. I've won countless awards. Your company, Qingshi, also deals in jade. I think it's easy to choose who to trust and who not to trust."

"No matter how many years it takes to carve rotten wood, it's still rotten wood." Wu Feng was clearly mocking Chen Wei for not knowing anything, so Su Qingyue was naturally not going to give him a friendly look.

Su Qingyue had personally witnessed Chen Wei's skill in gambling on stones, and Wu Feng was simply not qualified to show off his limited abilities in front of him.

"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Anyway, a mere 60,000 is nothing to President Su and Mr. Chen. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Wu Feng was anxious to see his jade fox.

The jade fox was also one of the antique jades Chen Wei had mentioned, and it had been the subject of much speculation recently. When Wu Feng heard that it would be auctioned here, he made up his mind that no matter what, he would buy the jade.

Now, he finally got what he wanted and didn't have time to waste his breath arguing with Chen Wei and Su Qingyue over jade that was obviously fake.

Now Wu Feng should be thinking about how to use the Wu family's channels to sell the Jade Fox at a higher price.

"Dad, we were so lucky to have bought that jade fox for only 75 million!" Wu Feng said to Wu Yong in the corridor, unable to contain his laughter.

"But why do I feel like something's not quite right here?" Wu Yong frowned deeply.

“Dad, you saw those news reports before, they were even on TV. What could be wrong? You're just overthinking it.” Wu Feng waved his hand.

That's how the older generation is; they lack courage, so they can only earn small amounts of money and can't make a fortune.

How can you make big money without risk?

Sometimes, risks and benefits are directly proportional.

"Alright, it's your decision." Wu Yong didn't say anything more, lest he be scolded by Wu Feng.

After the two paid the money and signed the contract, they successfully obtained the jade fox.

Opening the box, I carefully took the jade fox out with both hands, as if it were something I was afraid would melt in my mouth or break in my hands.

"It's so beautiful! The jade quality and the carving are simply superb."

He raised his hands and held them up to the light. When he saw what it was, Wu Feng froze completely.

"What's wrong with you?" Upon seeing this, Wu Yong leaned over and asked. When he saw the jade fox shining in the light, he could no longer suppress his anger.

Snapped!
With a slap, he knocked the jade fox out of Wu Feng's hand, shattering it into pieces. "You, look what you've done! This jade fox is fake! More than 70 million, more than 70 million, just like that, gone."

Wu Yong now deeply regrets trusting Wu Feng.

He was given so much money, and all he got was a fake jade.

"That's impossible, it doesn't make sense." "What doesn't make sense? Scammers these days are so clever, do you think it's still ten years ago?" Wu Yong said, exasperated.

That 60 million yuan is basically wasted.

Not only did they not know who the seller was, but even the conference organizers didn't know; they never asked about such things.

……

Outside the gate of the jade market.

"Didn't you say you were buying it for me?" Su Qingyue waited for a long time, but Chen Wei showed no intention of giving her the jade.

"Sister Ke, you said before that things related to the dead are unlucky."

"So, you mean this also came from the tomb?" Su Qingyue asked to confirm.

“Yes.” Chen Wei affirmed, “Moreover, this thing is from a much older era than the previous jade bracelet.”

"Older than those two jade bracelets!" This surprised Su Qingyue quite a bit. "Then wouldn't it be more valuable?"

"It's not worth much money, maybe two or three million at most? After all, it's small and doesn't have many features."

Hearing Chen Wei say that, Su Qingyue rolled her eyes and said irritably, "From 60,000 to two or three million, what more do you want? Add another zero?"

Chen Wei raised his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, it's barely satisfactory."

"You've gotten too big for your britches." Su Qingyue couldn't think of anything to say to Chen Wei.

Then, Chen Wei and Su Qingyue went to the auction house together. After a series of procedures, the jade was put up for auction. The price was about the same as Chen Wei had estimated, at 2.8 million. It was identified as an ancient jade from more than a thousand years ago.

Three hours later, at the Wu family's house.

"See for yourself!" Wu Yong sighed as he looked at Wu Feng, who was sitting on the sofa looking lost and dejected, and tossed his phone to him.

"What are you looking at?" Wu Feng said weakly.

He reached out and picked up his phone, looking at the news report about the ancient jade that Chen Wei had previously auctioned.

"Look at them! How did you mock them back then? They bought it for 60,000 yuan and sold it for 2.8 million yuan. And look at you, you bought a bunch of broken glass for 75 million yuan. You're more trouble than you're worth!" Wu Yong cursed.

"It's just a lucky guess, what's so great about it?"

"Yes, that cat is blind, but what about you? You're not blind, but you're not even as good as a blind cat!"

Wu Feng was too lazy to pay attention to Wu Yong's insults, so he exited the news page and planned to read some other news.

A news article titled "[Today, a jade marketing fraud gang was arrested in Jiangcheng]" caught Wu Feng's attention. Clicking on it, he found Jade Fox in the template of the public security announcement.

"..."

Now that the person has been arrested, is it possible that the money can be recovered?
With this in mind, Wu Feng dialed the police station's number.

The reply was, "The funds obtained by criminal gangs are often transferred to foreign banks immediately, and there is no guarantee that they can be recovered."

Wu Feng was inwardly bitter; he said thank you, but inwardly...
