World Tibet Bureau

Monkey fishing for the moon
Fatty Xiao asked: "What game?"

I replied: "Monkey fishing for the moon."

Monkey Fishing for the Moon is a very delicate and ancient antique game.

Cong's Auction House suddenly set up a new agency in Tengshi a few months ago.

They first released a completely false news: Tomb robbers robbed a tomb at the junction of Tengshi and northern Myanmar. During the transportation process, the clay pot was accidentally broken, and the bronze peas inside flowed into the market.

This news is the moon through the looking glass.

Followed by.

Cong's Auction House obtained a few bronze peas and sent people to disperse them into the market.

This batch of bronze peas must be bronze beans.

The cost doesn’t have to be too high either.

Bronze beans from the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties can cost hundreds or even dozens of dollars each.

For example, Fatty Xiao brought this one back from the antique shop.

It's completely unrecognizable.

Since then.

Cong's Auction House began to purchase bronze peas on the market for 2000 yuan each, causing confusion in the entire Tengshi antique market.

Wait until the atmosphere of doubt reaches a certain concentration.

Cong's Auction House then sent someone (this person must be well-known in the antique circle of Teng City and secretly cooperated with Cong's Auction House) to take the bronze peas to Kunshi and pretend to find an authoritative organization for appraisal (also a person from Cong's Auction House). (Ask), get the appraisal certificate, proving that the bronze peas are from the same era as the tomb of the King of Dian in Jinning. The value of a bean ranges from [-] to [-], and I am willing to take it all.

After the appraiser returned from Kunming City, he once again spread the news that the value of copper beans was extremely high.

Because this person has a high reputation and status in the antique circle of Teng City.

As soon as this news comes out.

The entire antique market in Teng City is bound to explode.

The baggage soldiers, land shovelers, street vendors, and antique shop owners like Shouhou all want to make a fortune, and they will definitely start to buy bronze peas in the market.

Take this opportunity.

Cong's Auction House uses the tactics commonly used in the auction industry to continuously increase the purchase price.

The tide is rising.

The Tengshi antique market has also continuously increased its purchase prices accordingly.

This is also the reason why the purchase price of bronze peas increased from [-] to [-] to [-].

This is the end.

The rope tying the monkey's tail in the Monkey Fishing for the Moon Bureau has been completely tied.

Cong's Auction House then poured low-cost, highly imitated bronze peas into the market and sold them for [-] to [-] each.

At this time, the bronze pea became the most beautiful moon in the water, and everyone wanted to buy it and hoard it to make a big profit.

For example, people like Shouhou, who even borrowed loan sharks to hoard large quantities of bronze peas, did not care about their appearance.

But Cong's Auction House no longer accepts them.

Just imagine.

Even people like Shouhou spent 40 to [-] yuan to buy a dozen of them.

How many people like him should there be in the entire Tengshi antique market?

Cong's Auction House doesn't need to do any other business. Just by spreading these bronze peas into the market, it can earn tens of millions of dollars in a short period of time.

to the end.

When people like Shouhou hoard dozens of beans and prepare to sell them all in Kunming City to make a windfall, they will find that the appraisal agency that claims to be able to collect bronze peas is empty.

He will lose all his money and will cry without tears.

The people who participated in hoarding beans at the Tengshi Antique Market all became monkeys in the tree. When the rope broke, they all fell into the water, and everything was lost.

Wait for them to react.

It is possible that the Cong's Auction House agency will also be cancelled.

No wonder Cong Shanshan has become one of the richest businessmen in Yunnan Province!
No wonder he is so mysterious.

A top-notch player.

Just like an old manager, he will always make suggestions, hide in the dark, and sit back and watch the changes in the world.

The dark place can keep the player in the game extremely clear-headed, and can also become the eternal protective color of the player in the game.

I explained the logic of the entire bureau to them.Several people were stunned on the spot.

After half an hour.

Fatty Xiao said: "This is too much of a bastard! Ordinary baggage soldiers and landlords don't have any wealth at all. They basically borrow loan sharks. After suffering such losses, they are not allowed to commit suicide by jumping off a building?!"

I replied: "It's normal. When you were in a trap, didn't you almost fight Wang Datou with a knife?"

Fatty Xiao: "..."

Sanheizi frowned and said, "With so many people in Tengshi Antique Market, no one has woken up?"

I shook my head: "The most terrifying human psychology is greed, and the most stupid behavior is following the herd."

"When these two points are combined, it is basically difficult to wake up."

This kind of monkey fishing game.

In fact, it’s not just in the antiques industry.

All walks of life exist.

After some years.

Speculating on health care products, medicines, wine, tea, school supplies, illegal fund-raising... the principles used are generally not much different.

The government has been promoting it over and over again to prevent people from being fooled.

But so what?
Group after group of people came and went.

Xiaozhu asked: "What should we do now?"

Currently, Cong's Auction House no longer purchases bronze peas.

It proved that they reached the final stage of this round.

Those who deserved to be fooled were basically fooled.

It is very likely that the agency will also be withdrawn in the near future.

It's not my business to break up the clumps of hills.

I'm just here to find someone.

This thing is like gambling.

You clearly know that the banker is up to something, but when you see the gamblers entering the casino one after another, you can't pull them away, because this is a completely voluntary game and has nothing to do with morality.

top priority.

I must take advantage of this opportunity.

Get the chance to talk directly with Cong Shanshan.

I thought for a while and said to Xiaozhu: "Let's go to the agency!"

The two drove to the Xinhua Bookstore first, and then to the agency.

On the second floor.

I saw the staff at the agency packing office supplies, and it was a busy scene.

The same waitress received us.

She looked very surprised: "You two, what are you..."

I pointed to the office area: "What is this for?"

The waitress replied: "Our company's business has been adjusted. The Teng City agency will be canceled in three days, and we will transfer the office location to another place."

I said, "I won't see Mr. Cong today. We have a business deal and we want to talk to the manager of your agency. Let's say a few words and leave."

Hearing this, the waitress smiled and said, "You said you wanted to see our manager earlier, and we already met him last time."

then.

She made a phone call.

The other party seemed to be in a good mood because he had successfully completed the game task this time, so he asked the waitress to take us there.

Passed through the office area.

We came to a large compartment inside.

I saw a man with his hair parted vertically, wearing a white shirt, oily hair and pink face.

He was crossing his legs, smoking a cigarette, and humming a tune.
