“Nona Fransiska, I will pay ten billion for Blood Tear Jade, you better save three billion,” said Lutfi who was not happy.
Fransiska did not hear it, she continued to look at Anto and said, “Master Anto, I have bought this jade. although my value is lower, but you must sell it to me! We have to keep our word, don't we?”
Some antique store bosses also agreed.
“Betul, all things must be there first.”
“Friend, you must have principle.”
“You and Miss Fransiska have not finished transacting, is it not good to sell it to others?”
All the antique store bosses who came here defended Fransiska, however, the Salim Family has a very high reputation in the world of antiques, so the people who do this business in this industry must be kind to them.
“Good.”
After sighing, Anto said to Lutfi with a troubled look, “Sorry Sir, I cannot sell it to you even if you want to buy it for ten billion. I have to sell to Miss Fransiska.”
He then nodded to Fransiska, “I am not a greedy person, if you want to buy it for three billion, then I will sell it to you. We have to keep the promise, don't we?”
“Wah, I did not expect you to be so honest, even you do not want to sell me for ten billion,” said Lutfi with a difficult expression, “This stone costs at least twenty billion! Miss Fransiska, you are so lucky!”
While speaking, Lutfi continued to shake his head.
At the moment, Fransiska looks very happy. He immediately told Hidayat who was on the side, “Quick, give the money to Anto.”
Hidayat agreed, after which he asked Anto's account number and prepared to send her the money.
“Hahaha, silly once.”
At this moment, Arief who kept silent suddenly laughed.
Haha, Lutfi and Anto's acting is too ridiculous.
“What are you laughing at?” asked Anto in a quip.
Right now, Fransiska was also frowning and looking at him confusedly.
Arief glanced at the jade hanger in the box, he said with a smile, “Seeing a contested fake, isn't it funny?”
While speaking, Arief secretly sent a short message out.
He sent this message to Debora, the captain of the Malang city police.
When Budiman is arrested, Debora tells Arief to go to the police station and make a report. However, at that time Arief had other business so as not to leave, the two of them then left each other contact numbers.
Anto and Lutfi wanted to deceive Fransiska in front of Arief, he certainly would not allow it.
However, it was undeniable that the acting of these two people was too great, not only did they deceive some antique bosses, they even managed to deceive Fransiska.
But at this moment, everyone in the antique shop was stunned. This youngster said that the Fake Blood Tear Jade?
Is this young man crazy? Everyone here was the boss of the antique shop, they already knew that this jade was real, but why did this youngster say that this jade was fake?
Anto who first responded, he smiled coldly and said, “Interesting as well, you said that our ancestral heritage for these generations is fake? Who are you?”
Right now, one of the antique store bosses was aware, he noticed Arief and said in a surprised tone, “Ei? Isn't she the Kimberly Family's daughter-in-law?”
Ahaha!
His words made everyone go crazy.
Some antique bosses also recognized Arief.
“Aduh, it turns.”
“I heard that this young man is always at home only and has no job.”
After some people kept talking about it, the store boss next door said to Arief, “Oi, the daughter-in-law of the Kimberly Family, why are you saying that this Blood Tear Jade is a fake? Can you judge it?”
His words made people laugh out loud.
Hahaha, the famous trash in Malang city can judge antiques?
“It looks like he just wants to show off himself.”
A few antique store bosses kept laughing, Fransiska also just fell silent staring at Arief.
The color and craft engraving on the Blood Tear Jade in front of him is the same as Fransiska read in the document, why can Arief say fake?
At first, Fransiska thought that Arief was not what the people were talking about, but after today, Fransiska also considered Arief to be trash. It is fitting that everyone demeans him, he pretends to know antiques when he can't do anything.
At this moment, Anto and Lutfi looked at each other and smiled.
They thought that this young man had a great background, but it turned out to be just a useless son-in-law.
Damn, just startle.
The next second, Anto who was as insulted immediately said while staring at Arief, “Young Mona from Panca Heritage and some antique store bosses have seen that this is real stuff, he said, they are famous antique businessmen, only you say that this item is fake. Today if you do not give a reasonable explanation, I will report to the police because you are interfering with business transactions.”
Oh?
The yell of the thief? Why is his acting getting more excited?
Seeing the look on Anto's serious face, Arief once again laughed. He took out the Blood Tear Jade and noticed it, then started to say quietly, “This Jade is called the Blood Tear Jade because there is human blood entering it and forming tears, so it was nicknamed like that.”
“Then, the texture of the jade, environmental factors and some other coincidences made the conditions of the formation of the Blood Tear Jade very difficult, so it was very rare to encounter. This jade of yours although has a tear line in it, but it is not formed naturally, but is man-made in a special way.”
“In addition to the blood color engraving, the quality of this jade is indeed good, the engraving on it is also very detailed. However, this jade is not from 1500 ago, but a product of modern times.”
Speaking up to here, Arief took the jade hanger back and looked at it more closely, he then nodded and said, “Yes, this jade also smelled the smell of wet earth. If I'm not mistaken, you've been planting it for a year in the ground to make it feel old-fashioned, the imitation technique is not bad.”
Afterwards, Arief threw back the jade hanger into the box and said, “So, that jade is a fake product from modern times, so, you lied to say that this jade comes from 1500 years ago.”
Although Arief's voice was not large, everyone in the room could still hear him clearly.
Instantly, several antique store bosses were stunned.
The young man explained in detail.
Is this Blood Tear Jade really fake?
Did they judge him wrong?
However, some of the bosses of this antique shop had only heard of this rare Blood Tear Jade, they had never seen the real thing. So, they could only fall silent with expressions of difficulty.
Fransiska's gaze to Arief was filled with surprise.
The knowledge that Arief spoke of, he also knew. However, it seemed that he did not know as clearly as Arief.
Where did Arief learn this?
Right now, the embarrassed Anto smiled coldly and said, “You said as if that was true, but I want to ask, do you have any proof after speaking at length?”
Right.
Although Arief explained at length, he still had to show evidence.
Everyone including Fransiska kept staring at Arief.
Especially Fransiska, her gaze looked nervous as well as excited.
He was excited because if Arief could come up with evidence, Francisca's knowledge would increase.
Then he was nervous because if Arief could prove that this Blood Tear Jade was a fake, then it proved that Fransiska was deceived and would put his family to shame. Please note, the Salim Family has been in the antique business for generations! Although Fransiska was young, her antiques assessment skills were great throughout the city of Malang.
“Do you want proof?”
Arief smilingly looked at Anto, he then said: “Easy, the blood inside the naturally formed Blood Tear Jade will look as light as mist, because it has been through the process of precipitation and evaporation for a long time. However, the jade formed by human hands despite having a tear line, but due to the short time, we can still find fine grains of sand in it by using a magnifying glass. That's because the blood hasn't spread completely.”
When Arief was speaking, Hidayat had already taken out a special magnifying glass to appraise the antiques.
“In it turns out there are indeed fine grains of sand,” said Hidayat who was surprised.
Instantly, all the antique shop bosses immediately swarmed over him! Fransiska also came closer to see more clearly.
“You ...”
Since the evidence already existed, Anto could only glare at Arief and was speechless.!
