Seeing that the old man was honest, Li Du was not foolish.

He pushed the two clocks in front of him and said, "You didn't miss it, Mr. Raymond, these two are indeed fakes, and those two are real."

Hans took all the clocks apart. Indeed, the four clocks looked similar on the outside, but the wear level of the cuff inside was much worse than the clarity of the printed letters.

To verify the correctness is to quote.

Hans asked, “Do you buy antique clocks or all four of them?”

Raymond smiled and said, "I am not a businessman, I am a collector, so fakes are worthless to me, and two authentic products are my goal."

Hans pulled Li Du aside and whispered: "I just checked the price of antique clocks online. Based on the age and quality, I think a clock is good for 70,000 yuan."

Nowadays, most of the antique clocks circulating on the market are not of high quality, and even if they are auctioned at auction, they rarely sell at high prices.

"I read the news. The recent similar product sold is an Asina-like bronze gilt French clock made in 1850. It sold for 60,000 yuan in BJ Poly's special watches and antique clocks," Hans said at the end.

Li Du nodded: "You are an expert in this regard, and I respect your opinions."

Hans felt relieved when he said this. The two walked up to the old man and quoted directly: "How about selling two clocks together, how about 200,000 yuan?"

Raymond laughed: "Not really, kids. You may not know that in the Poly Spring Auction that just ended, there was an Asina throne like a copper gilded French clock sold for 60,000 yuan, but that was an auction, so in fact this thing may not be as valuable as you imagined."

Hans said: "No, we know this, and we know that the clock was produced around 1850, half a century later than ours!"

Raymond said: "I understand, but there is still a difference between auctions and on-site transactions, so it's 100,000 yuan. This price is not low, right?"

"One hundred thousand is too little, I can be cheaper, 180,000!"

"No, no, this is too expensive. I collect it, not resell it, so I won't be a sucker. Your clock is an unknown product, not a famous product made by Williamson, so he is not worth that much money."

Li Du took out his cell phone and began to search for Williamson. He found that even if he just listened to these collectors, he could learn a lot.

Williamson was the most talented watch master in the 18th century in England. From 1769 to 1790, he was the golden period of watchmaking, and all the products he made were classics without exception.

The most classic masterpiece of this master is related to China. He wrote eight words on a bronze gilded writing bell given to Emperor Qianlong, "Eight directions, nine earths come to the king". Emperor Qianlong loved it very much and regarded it as a treasure.

However, he has very few works that have been circulated in the world, and are only stored in the Forbidden City or in important European museums.

According to statistics from the International Antique Clock Guide Association, in past records, there are only one or two Williamson watches that have appeared on the market and auctioned.

Of course, it is a real famous product. Any one of them can cause bloody storms at the auction, and it is no problem to sell for tens of millions of dollars.

Hans bargained tirelessly: "170,000, no more low."

Raymond looked at him with sharp eyes, Hans' smile remained unchanged, and the two of them confronted each other.

Li Du felt that the two were like Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng in the Forbidden City, so they quickly took two steps back to avoid being affected by murderous aura.

"120,000 yuan!" Raymond slowly made a move.

Hans immediately took the call: "It's absolutely impossible, 160,000 yuan! I tell you very seriously that this is the lowest price. No matter how low the price is, I am your grandson!"

After a bargaining, the final price was 145,000 yuan.

After the online bank transfer, Hans smiled proudly at Li Du: "Look, I sold 5,000 more yuan, how about Boss Fu?"

Li Du hesitated and said, "Are you Boss Fu or Grandson?"

"Ha ha!"

When the old rules are done, the two parties become friends.

Hans helped Raymond install clocks, while Raymond continued to popularize antique clock collection knowledge:

"For antique clocks, look at the year, the origin, and the material. In fact, in the end, the most important thing is to see whose work, whether it is imitation or original, which includes the year, origin, material and design information displayed by the clock..."

"Also, in Europe, antique clocks were considered to be the carrier of aristocratic culture. After they became popular in Britain in the 19th century, they were mass-produced in Germany."

"There is no doubt that British handicrafts are valuable, while Germans are not valuable."

"Tell you a little common sense. When watching movies and TV series, antique clocks often appear on the screen. If they appear at home of a rich man or a royal family, they must be British goods. If they are at home of ordinary people, they must be made in Germany."

Li Du laughed, and it turned out that the German-made, which made the whole Europeans feel proud, was also considered a big street product.

Send Raymond away, they will also deal with the two fakes.

The most suitable place to deal with fakes is naturally the grocery store. As a result, Kevin shook his head after seeing it: "This thing is not worth a lot of money, you can get five hundred dollars for each of them."

"The gap is so big?" Li Du was shocked, "The real thing can sell more than 70,000 yuan!"

Kevin snorted: "This is only worth 500 yuan on the outer layer of the watch, otherwise no one would want 100 yuan. You can get as much as you want from the assembly line."

It's better to keep it yourself at such a low price.

The two negotiated and took each of them and an antique clock home, just like to treat it as a souvenir for this harvest.

The harvest this time was indeed very big. A total of 162,000 yuan was sold, and Wang Bo got nearly 100,000 yuan.

Hans said regretfully: "You can accumulate 100,000 yuan in income at one time, why not sell this fake product?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future. Let's continue to find out about the warehouse."

Hans showed his phone and said, "I've gotten news that there is a warehouse in Phoenix for auction, and it's next Tuesday."

There were three days left, and the two went back to pack up their things and headed straight for Phoenix.

Hans took him to the warehouse company first to take a look. The warehouse company is called Da Cardinal Warehousing Co., Ltd. and is going to auction five warehouses.

Li Du released the flying insects and entered the warehouse. He had plenty of time, so he carefully swept it.

But he was disappointed. There was nothing good in the five warehouses, only Warehouse No. 102 was not bad, with a lot of porcelain inside.

If it is an antique, then porcelain can make people rich overnight. Unfortunately, they are all modern products. After flying insects enter, they have no interest and fly away directly.

Seeing this, Li Du shook his head and said, "Maybe we will return in disappointment this time."

Hans said regretfully: "None of them are worth it?"

Li Du concealed: "It's not clear now. I'll take a look when the warehouse is opened. I hope there will be new discoveries when the time comes."
