Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

Everywhere you look in Qian San's collection room, there are old items collected by Qian San.

Upon hearing Qian San's words, Li Bing immediately understood why Qian San had come to see him.

"Brother Qian, you want me to re-appraise the items here? Is it really appropriate for me to do this?"

Li Bing clearly remembered that one-third of the items in Qian San's shop were purchased from Li Bing.

Qian San chuckled and spoke helplessly.

"Brother Li Bing, to be honest, I haven't had much money left since I bought that new treasure from Zhou Xinyao."

"I originally planned to take out a few items from my collection room today to sell, which I don't really like. But who would have thought that all those people would say that the treasures I have are fakes."

"I really don't want to lose face again, that's why I came to you and want you to help me with this."

After Qian San finished speaking, his eyes were filled with anticipation, waiting for Li Bing to grant his request.

Of all these businessmen, only Li Bing had good character and personality, and he treated Qian San with the most respect. Otherwise, Qian San wouldn't have invited Li Bing to his home in the end.

Li Bing nodded, his mind racing. After all, he was a businessman, and even though he was young, he was quite experienced in handling problems.

"Brother Qian, I understand what you asked me to do, and I can help you with that. However, there's something I need to tell you beforehand."

Hearing that Li Bing had agreed to his request, Qian San was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, waiting for Li Bing to state his requirements.

Li Bing regained his senses and proposed something that Qian San could agree to.

"Many of the items in this collection room were purchased from me by you, Brother Qian. To avoid any appearance of impropriety, I will not have these items appraised. You can have someone else appraise the items I sold after I leave your house."

"I don't sell counterfeit goods. You can have anyone come and authenticate them."

Li Bing looked at Qian San with great confidence. He explained the issues to Qian San beforehand, so that the appraisal could be conducted more effectively later.

How could Qian San possibly refuse? He readily gave his answer.

“Brother Li Bing, why are you being so polite with me? I will definitely not have anyone come over to re-appraise the items I buy from you.”

Li Bing glanced at Qian San discreetly, not believing a word Qian San had just said, but too lazy to expose Qian San's lie.

The two agreed on everything. Li Bing put on the prepared gloves, walked to the east side of the collection room, and carefully picked up the first item located on the east side.

Most of the items in Qian San's collection were antiques with a history, while some were obviously recent creations that could be identified at a glance.

Once Li Bing discovers that something is not genuine, he will place it in the center of the room. After moving it around, several items will soon be placed in the center of the room.

Qian San stood to one side, on the verge of tears. These were all treasures he had spent half his life buying.

I used to be so focused on buying things that I never worried about whether the items I bought were counterfeit, and I couldn't imagine that there was nowhere to sell these fakes.

"Brother Qian, I'll put the items I'm selling on the other side, so you can easily find someone to come and appraise them later, saving you the trouble of picking them all again."

Li Bing kindly reminded him, but his actions never stopped.

I rarely come to Qian San's treasure collection room, but today, after careful observation, I gradually identified many fakes.

These counterfeit goods, utilizing various craftsmanship techniques, actually broadened Li Bing's horizons.

Fortunately, not all items are counterfeits; there are still a few genuine products.

"Brother Qian, these items are genuine. If you're unsure whether they're real or fake, you can get someone to authenticate them together."

The items that Li Bing appraised were not sold by him, so he did not show favoritism towards any item and treated them all equally.

Qian San was initially full of confidence, but as time went on and he saw the number of counterfeit goods in the center of the room increasing, he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Brother Li Bing, tell me, do I still have a chance to resell these counterfeit goods I have?"

Qian Sanke clearly remembered that he had spent a lot of money to buy these things, and their total value was as high as tens of millions.

Now that it has been identified as a counterfeit, it means that tens of millions of yuan have all gone down the drain, leaving Qian San with only a vague and unattainable design.

Li Bing sighed deeply, and seeing Qian San's dejected appearance, he could only tell the truth.

"Brother Qian, you should be mentally prepared."

"Frankly speaking, there is absolutely no chance that these counterfeit goods can be resold."

"If you were pricing it at tens of dollars, then that would be a different story."

Li Bing's words completely broke Qian San's defenses, and he was filled with disappointment.

"It's over," those three words filled Qian San's mind.

Tens of millions of dollars have been completely wasted, and his eyes are filled with confusion about the future.

To comfort Qian San, Li Bing quickly stepped forward and kindly drove the car.

"Brother Qian, although you have a lot of counterfeit goods here, you still have a lot of genuine ones. Don't be too sad."

Li Bing was well aware that everything he sold was genuine, so he wasn't afraid at all that Qian San would have it re-authenticated.

Qian San shook his head helplessly. Even if there was still a batch of genuine items, it couldn't lessen the heartbreak of learning the truth.

"Brother Li Bing, thank you for your trouble. I won't see you off. I need to rest for a while."

Qian San sat dejectedly on the ground, having no desire to see Li Bing off.

Li Bing didn't care at all. Today's trip wasn't a waste. He got to know a shocking scoop while on the front lines, so it was worth it!

Qian Sanben was a nouveau riche, yet he tried to emulate others by buying and collecting antiques!

Only those with money and connections can navigate this collecting circle successfully. Nouveau riche like Qian San can only be treated as easy prey and slaughtered at will.

Unaware of when Li Bing left, Qian San sat on the ground, staring blankly at the things in front of him.

As time passed, Qian San's attention shifted to another pile of items, those that Li Bing had sold.

Hope was rekindled, and Qian San ultimately believed in Li Bing's character.

Knowing he didn't have much money left to live on, Qian San gritted his teeth and prepared to sell everything he owned!

Collecting things is utterly useless; it's much more practical to have money in your hand!

Qian San picked up his phone and called Wei Lin.

"Wei Lin, come to my house, I have something good for you."
