    The next morning, Meng Zitao was preparing to leave for the hotel where the trade fair was held when he received a call from the investigators. The results of Cao Jin's investigation were both unexpected and reasonable.

    It turns out that the person Zhao Jia knew was not actually Cao Jin, but someone pretending to be the son of Liang Youhai, a collector in Tongdu.

    Liang Youhai was a good friend of Cao Jin at first, but later Cao Jin deceived him, and they broke off contact and became enemies.

    The reason why Liang Youhai's son pretended to be Cao Jin was because Liang Youhai died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at the beginning of this year. Regarding his father's death, Liang Youhai's son believed that it must have something to do with Cao Jin.  So he wanted to take revenge on Cao Jin.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that at this time, Cao Jin has already started his plan to defraud the country. How could Liang Youhai¡¯s son find him?

    Liang Youhai's son was unwilling to give in. He asked his friends to look for Cao Jin while thinking of a way on his own. Finally, he came up with a bad idea to make Cao Jin's name as bad as possible. It would be best to make it so that everyone would shout for him to be beaten. It would probably be possible.  Force Cao Jin out.

    When Meng Zitao heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He was originally surprised that Cao Jin would suddenly appear and mention him. It turned out to be like this.  In addition, Liang Youhai's son must have watched too many TV dramas and came up with such a bad idea. He didn't even think about it. He didn't look like Cao Jin, so what was the point of pretending to be Cao Jin?

    As for the reason why Liang Youhai's son brought out Meng Zitao again this time, it was not intentional. It was just that Zhao Jia asked him if he knew any experts, and he was bragging and mentioned that he knew Meng Zitao.

    Knowing that this was the case, Meng Zitao didn't bother to pay attention to him. Of course, he warned him not to say that it was necessary to know him in the future.

    Meng Zitao picked up He Wanyi and drove to the hotel. When they walked to the door of the hotel, they happened to meet Wang Zhixuan and Cheng Qiheng. Wang Menghan did not come because she was pregnant.

    Everyone said hello, and Wang Zhixuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw the bustling scene in the hotel:

    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen such a lively scene in our Ling City for a long time.¡±

    Meng Zitao said: "There is nothing we can do about this. Although our Ling City has a long history, the antique market is still weak and has not formed a good antique cultural atmosphere."

    "Yes, so this requires our joint efforts."

    Wang Zhixuan nodded, and then said: "Fortunately, we now have your auction company to support the scene, and gradually gained some fame in the country. Otherwise, who would know where our Ling City is outside this province."

    Meng Zitao shook his head: "Just relying on our family is not enough. If we want to make our Ling City antique industry famous, the key is to start with hard power."

    Wang Zhixuan is a little scratching his head about this. Hard power cannot be improved just by improving, especially in the well-known antique market in China. Which one has not achieved its current status after a long period of baptism?  It¡¯s definitely not possible to rush for quick results.

    As for increasing popularity through activities, that is a way, but activities cannot be done every day. The fair like this is held two or three times a year, and any more would not be appropriate.  So what do you usually do?

    At this time, Cheng Qiheng said: "Do you think it would be feasible if we cooperate with a travel agency?"

    "I don't think so." He Wanyi expressed her objection: "There are a lot of messy things in travel agencies now, such as shady tour guides, forced buying and selling, etc. Will it cause resentment among tourists and cause losses to the antique market?  ?¡±

    Cheng Qiheng nodded and said: "You are right. Therefore, before that, we in Ling City's antique community must reach a unified consensus that no illegal things will be allowed to happen, and no harm to consumers will be allowed. And our Antiques Association can also  Issue guidelines to passengers to remind them that they can report problems if they find them. Once we verify the problem, we will impose severe penalties on the offenders."

    Wang Zhixuan said: "It's a good idea to arrive like this, but the key question is, does our Ling City have tourism resources related to the antique market? It's not self-deprecating, just because of our old and unreasonable antique street, people from out of town  Will tourists be interested?¡±

    Cheng Qiheng sighed: "Hey, that's what you said. In the final analysis, our hardware is not good enough."

    ¡°If there is no hardware, then create one.¡± Meng Zitao laughed.

    "Oh, what do you think?" Wang Zhixuan asked quickly.

    Meng Zitao said: "I just have a prototype of this matter. I will discuss it with you after I think about it carefully."

    Wang Zhixuan smiled and said: "Okay, then??There is no guarantee that every exhibit brought by participants is authentic. In addition to some profiteers deliberately bringing fakes, some merchants may make mistakes temporarily, and it is possible to make a mistake.  "

    "Of course, saying this is not to shirk responsibility. Let me help you take a look at this pendant first. If there is indeed a problem, I will take you to the merchant to negotiate and try to recover your losses. Do you think this is okay?"

    With Meng Zitao¡¯s statement like this, of course there was nothing wrong with this person. He nodded and said, ¡°Teacher Meng, I believe you.¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled, then looked at the beeswax pendant in his hand. After a while, he said, "Sir, do you know your surname?"

    "My surname is Wu."

    "Okay, Mr. Wu, that's it. This beeswax pendant is indeed made of old beeswax."

    Seeing the surprised look on the other party's face, Meng Zitao continued: "But, it uses old beeswax from the Middle East, so there is a question, what kind and price did you buy it for?"

    As the popularity of Tibetan traditional collections in China heats up, the price of old beeswax has also soared, especially the price of old Tibetan wax.  In the Tibetan area, old Tibetan wax in perfect condition is now even more difficult to find.

    ??Among the strings of beeswax hung around the necks of local merchants, it is difficult to choose a perfect piece. Most of them are damaged or torn.  Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the price of old Tibetan wax in good condition and large size has risen rapidly.

    Therefore, as the price of old Tibetan wax rises, the price of old beeswax in the Middle East also rises.  In order to make profits, some merchants sell old beeswax from the Middle East as Tibetan wax. This is probably the problem Mr. Wu encountered.

    Mr. Wu said: "Of course I bought it based on Tibetan wax, which cost three thousand yuan."

    "Then when you were doing business, did the merchant say it was hidden wax?"

    "This does not."

    "Mr. Wu, this matter is really difficult for me. After all, this is real old beeswax, and your price is not too outrageous. Now we can only say that he is suspicious, and we can only warn him. No matter how much  It won¡¯t work.¡±

    Meng Zitao shook his head secretly. This is the cunningness of the merchant. He didn't explain clearly. He just set the price a little higher than that of Middle Eastern beeswax. If the buyer is greedy for cheap, he will be fooled.

    After hearing what Meng Zitao said, Mr. Wu didn¡¯t know what to say. In the final analysis, the reason why he bought this pendant was that it was cheap.

    However, he felt a little unhappy at being deceived like this, so he asked: "Teacher Meng, I'm not questioning your judgment, but my friend said that this beeswax is synthetic, so what's going on?  "

    Meng Zitao explained: "There is almost no old synthetic beeswax in Tibetan wax, but the old wax in the Middle East is mixed with a lot of old synthetic beeswax. This kind of old synthetic beeswax is different from the current pressed beeswax and synthetic beeswax. It just combines  The beeswax is melted and recast, and nothing else is added to it, so its physical and chemical properties are almost the same as those of the original wax."

    "In addition, Middle Eastern beeswax is also mixed with a lot of beeswax of various colors, green, blue, and red. These are basically plastic products, or are made of other substances mixed with beeswax, so-called  The aristocratic beeswax, the snow mountain beeswax, you must not buy this kind of beeswax.¡±

    At this time, Mr. Wu¡¯s friend said: ¡°Okay, Old Wu, let¡¯s forget about this and teach myself some lessons.¡±

    Mr. Wu was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, forget it, you will gain wisdom after a hard time. Teacher Meng, please excuse me."

    Meng Zitao waved his hand to express that it was no trouble, and then asked Mr. Wu for the address of the merchant. He felt that he should give a warning to this kind of exploiting loopholes.

    Coming out of the room, Meng Zitao handed the bracelet he chose to He Wanyi: "I think this bracelet should suit you quite well."

    He Wanyi thinks the bracelet is very good: "This should be the old Tibetan wax, right? What is the difference between it and Middle Eastern beeswax?"

    "It's very simple. Tibetan wax is used as jewelry in Tibet and is usually worn on the head. Old beeswax from the Middle East was once used as currency. After the currency function was lost, it was stored as wealth. So.  , the old Tibetan wax seems to have a better looking patina and is shiny, while the old Middle Eastern beeswax looks drier"

    Meng Zitao was explaining as he walked, and soon the two of them walked into another interesting room.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
