168 The Test of Human Nature
Vivian turned around, looked at the experts, and slowly analyzed, “If he had the time, he would have run away long ago. Why would he be here waiting for you to catch him? Moreover, the market was so big, how could they find it if they were like headless flies? Once you leave the market, you won’t be able to find it on the roads that lead in all directions.”
“From the way he does things, he must be a repeat offender. Maybe they’re targeting foreigners like us and bullying us because we can’t find them even if we know we’re being cheated.”
The man also knew that his search was in vain, but the anger in his heart made him feel uncomfortable if he didn’t do anything.
Vivian glanced at the crowd and said, “This incident can be considered a lesson. The other party’s falsifying skills are indeed superb, but if you think back to the process, putting aside the technical problems of misjudgment, there are actually unreasonable phenomena. It’s just that because of the considerable profits, you magnified the pleasure of obtaining benefits and automatically ignored some things that you would have thought were strange.”
The few people who had seen the Jade began to recall the situation at that time. After thinking about it carefully, they were a bit impulsive in making decisions at that time, mainly because it was rare to see such good material. The rest depended on the price. As soon as they heard they could get a bargain, they immediately took the bait.
Especially when the buyer appeared to be in a hurry to leave, they would feel that they were being cheated if they did not buy. Even if they had noticed something was wrong before, most people would completely follow the other party’s rhythm.
This time, they suffered such a huge setback on their first day. They had lost in a game that was deliberately set up by others. Everyone’s morale had been greatly affected and they were all a little resentful.
In such a tight and unobstructed environment, the stall owner who was collecting goods at the side also saw the raw stone with toothpaste flowing out and sized it up curiously.
Seeing this, Vivian raised her voice and said, “Alright, no matter how angry you are, it’s already an established fact. Instead of wasting time complaining, why don’t we study this counterfeit method together? There are still more than ten days to go. I hope you won’t make such a mistake again.”
They were all adults with more than ten years of experience in the industry. They quickly adjusted their mentality and began to study how to identify these fake methods.
First of all, they found that there was nothing wrong with the fake raw gemstone water capacity. It was a glutinous ice type and did not have many cracks. It was just colorless, so everyone did not find any major problems when they looked at its surface.
After searching for a long time, they found that the hole was in an inconspicuous position at the bottom of the stone. The hole was tiny and seemed to be chiseled out bit by bit with small nails. After that, they dug out the original Jade inside and filled it with toothpaste or other green materials. Finally, they filled up the hole and restored the place to its original state with seasonings and glue.
This kind of small area was not easy to find. Compared to the fake skin, the jewelers’ losses were relatively less. After all, the quality of the original Jade inside was not very bad.
If the quality of the raw stone was not the best, the raw stone without a green color could not be sold at a high price. That was why those people wanted to fake it. Otherwise, a raw stone of this level could only be sold for 80000 Yuan at most, which was already the highest price.
“Aren’t they afraid of ruining their reputation by doing this? They’re really heartless!”
“What are they afraid of? this is a unique business in the world. Unless none of us buy it, as long as one of us wants Jade, we can only export the goods from here.”
“Looking at this counterfeit technique, there’s definitely more than one person. There might even be investors behind the scenes.”
Everyone’s tone was filled with ridicule.
Vivian, on the other hand, had quickly pulled out of her indignance from being cheated and calmly told everyone the truth. “The price of the Jade in our hands doubled after it was colored. With just this little trick, we’ve earned a difference of 70000 to 80000 Yuan. It fully demonstrated the test of profit on human nature.”
“There is a saying that the nature of capital is timidity. It escapes turmoil and disputes, but it is more afraid of no profit or too little profit. When the profit reaches 100%, it dares to trample on all laws, and when the profit reaches 300%, it dares to commit any crime. The essence of capital seeking for profit is actually the greed of human nature.”
