"When we first came to Germany, they had a car accident." Liu Yong explained and then said: "I am really grateful to the two of you this time, but actually the restaurant's business has never been too good. If not for the money, I'm afraid it would have closed already."
Only then did Fat Liu understand. Liu Yong's parents had already passed away, no wonder the old lady at the hospital was unwilling to say more.
Liu Yong took out the items one by one as he appraised and appraised them. The Fat Liu took out the final statistics.
The three of them had a tacit understanding of each other. Even though there were more than 900 items in the collection, it only took them four to five hours to collect all the items.
After ten more minutes, Fat Liu finally raised his head. Yang Bo and Liu Yong both looked at him, as they urgently wanted to know the final result.
The Fat Liu was a little hesitant, but in the end, he opened his mouth and said, "There are a total of 12 real items, worth 30,000 euros. The remaining 971 fake items, there are 340 invoices, and it should be possible to return them."
Liu Yong nodded, then waved his hand at the two of them: "It's already deep into the night, everyone is tired, rest early."
Seeing Liu Yong's performance, Yang Bo and Yue Yang didn't say much and went back to their own rooms. Everyone knew that Liu Yong was in a very bad mood, with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of items, it was equivalent to a few million dollars. With this kind of conversion, he could get back two to three hundred thousand dollars in the end, which was already not bad.
On the second day, Liu Jiajun insisted on leaving the hospital. The old lady felt that it would be too painful for him to sell his things, so he refused to let him leave the hospital.
Yang Bo and Fat Liu accompanied Liu Yong to various shops to return the fake goods and invoices.
The majority of the shops were still allowed to exchange for goods. Only a small portion of the shops did not allow return goods, because some of the invoices were too long, and the people in the stores had already changed.
Of course, part of the reason was that the shop had already closed down and was unable to be traded back. They had been busy the entire morning returning more than twenty pieces, receiving more than $20,000, and most had no way to return the goods.
The three of them found a place to eat. The Fat Liu looked towards Liu Jiajun and said, "Our efficiency is too low, we sent a total of six clans this morning. This is because they are relatively close, and two of them even went bankrupt.
Liu Yong nodded, he also understood this logic, but he did not know what to do.
"Little Uncle, do you have a way?" Liu Yong looked over.
The Fat Liu laughed, "After all, there are so many of us, and with just the three of us, it's hard to do anything. The key thing is, Yang Bo and I don't understand German, so without the driver's license, we can only go with you to return the goods, and can't do anything ourselves."
"Alright, I'll call a few of my friends over to help. But next, I'll need your help to manage the overall situation." Liu Yong said.
Fat Liu nodded, "Don't worry."
Yang Bo and the other two categorized the invoices below. That way, a certain clan's artwork could be placed together and then handed into the hands of a few people. Then, they would bring the invoices to return.
Liu Yong was so busy that he sorted them into groups of five in the afternoon. He didn't pay too much attention to them and turned around to find that a majority of the items had already been sent out, while the rest couldn't be returned.
Finally, there were six antiques in the last family. Fat Liu looked at them and said to Liu Yong: "Finally, there are some.
Liu Yong nodded, he originally wanted to stay and pack his stuff, but with Yang Bo and Yue Shuang helping him out so much, he had no choice but to drive the car to the antique shop with the two of them.
When the three of them arrived, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon, and they were about to get off work in half an hour.
There were not many art shops in Potsdam, and Liu Jiajun had bought some from other cities as well. There were two that were already on their way, but he did not know if they would be able to return the goods.
There were all kinds of artworks in the shop, Western oil paintings, sculptures, Chinese porcelain, Japanese lacquer, ancient Egyptian gold. Of course, Yang Bo could tell that most of them were imitations, which was also commonly known as works of art.
Yang Bo's line of sight quickly landed on a set of porcelain, because this set of porcelain was actually made from imitating Chinese Song Dynasty and Porcelain of Ge Kiln s. Porcelain of Ge Kiln s were one of the five famous kilns in Song Dynasty, one of the only palace kilns in history, and it was a rare treasure in the porcelain manufacturing process of the Northern Song Dynasty and palace. Currently, there was only one set of Porcelain of Ge Kiln s in the world during the Northern Song Dynasty.
The most obvious characteristic of Ge Kiln was its turtle pattern on the surface of the glaze. This kind of crack was extremely unique, causing people to be infatuated with it.
When Yang Bo saw this set of porcelain pieces, his first impression was that it looked like a copy. This was because this set of Porcelain of Ge Kiln was a little bright, and did not look like an antique.
However, Yang Bo still took a glance subconsciously. A light flashed before his eyes and he was immediately stunned.
Liu Yong had already discussed the price with the seller, so he would need to discount the amount of goods returned here. However, to Liu Yong, if he was able to withdraw, even if it would make up for his losses, he could only accept it.
Yang Bo noticed that there was a blonde female salesperson standing in front of him. He pointed to the group of three Porcelain of Ge Kiln s and asked them in English: "How much?"
The salesman glanced up, but didn't say anything.
Yang Bo frowned and asked again in English.
The sales lady muttered, but Yang Bo did not understand.
Liu Yong walked over, but spoke in German towards the female seller in anger.
Yang Bo could not understand, but looking at the saleswoman's expression, he knew what she was thinking. Yang Bo pulled Liu Yong and asked him to look for the manager immediately.
Liu Yong looked at Fat Liu. Seeing that he did not object, he finally asked him to call out the manager in German.
The manager was a round faced man who looked to be in his forties, upon seeing Yang Bo and the other two, he revealed a haughty expression, and wanted to ask them for the reason.
Yang Bo did not want to talk too much with him, so he took out the cheque from his wallet and placed it on the counter. He then pointed to the three Ge Kiln s and said: "I want to buy it!"
This cheque was the one million euros that Yang Bo did not have the time to exchange for.
The manager was initially disdainful, but when he saw the number on the cheque, he was immediately stunned. One million euros was enough to buy 80% of this shop. To be able to casually take out a cheque of this amount was not something they could afford to offend.
The manager quickly bowed in apology, while the saleswoman also bowed in fear.
Yang Bo could not understand the other party's words. He kept the cheque and had the other party pack the Ge Kiln s, and only then did he swipe his card and leave.
