"Yes, of course. You are luck. At that time, I received a pair of dragon jade by coincidence. I will go and get them for you." Brodie happily went to the inner room and took jade out.
Flora pulled Maximilian's arm and asked, "Maximilian, what are you doing? Didn't you say that the jade is a fake?"
"There must be evidence. To catch the thief and take spoils. Do you have video or invoice when you bought? You have nothing, right? He can directly deny it. Or he can even say that you go back to stealthily substitute a fake one for his real jade."
Hearing what Maximilian said, Flora and Canaan both came to their senses. As long as the antique dealer could sell fakes, they had many ways to deal with customers who had returned. As long as there was no ironclad proof, it was impossible to make them lose money and return the goods.
"Master, you are smart. I couldn't think about it. These antiques dealers are as cunning as foxes." Canaan gave Maximilian a thumb up, feeling that Maximilian was smart.
Flora looked at Maximilian with admiration, and tiny stars appeared in her eyes.
Brodie came out with an antique box and greeted him with a smile, "Sit down. Don't be polite when you get here. Feel ease at home. Come, sit down and have some tea."
Maximilian and others took their seats one after another, and Brodie poured tea for the three, then opened the box and put it in front of Maximilian, "Please look at it, sir. This is an absolutely rare object. It is all because I am destined for you three; otherwise, I won't show this jade to others, let alone sell it."
"Look at this jade, fine white and lustrous, the best among the proper suet white jade, does this oily feeling look like a piece of suet?"
"Look at this engraver. It is an absolutely delicate engraver. If it is not a craftsman used by the royal family, he couldn't carve such a delicate dragon pattern at all." Brodie bragged about the jade.
Maximilian nodded slightly and made a gesture that he liked the dragon jade in front of him very much, "It's really a good thing, and it's really good. I don't know how much it is?"
"Your friend bought the similar one for five million before. But that one has some minor flaws. This one is different, and there is no flaw at all, so the price is a little higher, ten million dollars." Brodie stretched out an index finger and shook it. He must never make the previous mistake again and shouldn’t feel regretful.
"The price is not bad, but is this jade real, right? Now there are a lot of fake old things, and we will be fooled if we don't pay attention."
"It is true. It is absolutely true. My store is here, are you afraid that I will sell fakes? Besides, I am an authority in this industry. When people buy thing, many people will ask me to appraise for them, and I will not sell fake goods."
Brodie tried to trick Maximilian, thinking about how to Maximilian pay as soon as possible, so he specifically pointed to the appointment letters hanging on the finger wall. They were all appointment letters from all kinds of associations.
If one looked closely, he would find that those associations were unknown. And there was not a single appointment letter from a famous association.
"Don't you pay ten for one fake?" Maximilian smilingly asked.
"That is a must. I, Brodie, do business based on conscience. I have never sold a fake product. If I sell a fake product, I will pay 10 for one fake." After saying this, Brodie patted his chest vigorously, expressing that he was doing business with integrity.
