At this moment, he heard the two of them chatting.
“Isn’t Mr. Simir too strict? Isn’t it just the pattern is a little off? Do we have to redo it?”
“We’re making high-quality imitations that are 100% authentic. Of course, we have to be stricter.”
“Tsk, I think he’s just nitpicking. It’s just a small mistake. What appraiser can tell?”
“Haven’t you heard? Now, there are many powerful people in the collectibles industry in the Sun Never Sets Empire. Some people’s eyes are sharp like instruments, and they can find even the smallest mistake.”
“Are you bragging? Is there anyone as incredible as you say?”
“What do you think? Those who dared to come to the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and get involved in the mess of the Jerry Burrows family are all capable. Didn’t you see that even Mr. Simir has personally come to supervise the work these past few days?”
“In short, it is better to be careful…”
As they talked, they walked to the cardboard boxes and began to unbutton their pants to pee.
Anjou Princeton gritted her teeth in hatred. She wanted to rush out and beat up these two bastards.
The distance between the two sides was very close, less than a meter apart.
It was just that they were blocked by the cardboard, so they were not discovered.
The conversation between these two people undoubtedly confirmed Ye Feng and Anjou Prince’s guess.
Mr. Simir and his gang were indeed making fakes here.
At the same time, it also explained why they delivered goods to a few black market merchants. Those black market merchants did not find anything wrong with the goods.
But why did they do that?
Where did the real thing come from?
…
He still needed to do more research on this.
…
The two men went back to their room after they had finished peeing.
Anjou Prince had been holding back for a long time, just as she was about to walk out, she was stopped by Ye Feng.
“Wait a little longer.”
Just as Anjou Prince was feeling puzzled, the door to the room in the middle was pushed open again, and a group of people walked out. There were more than 20 people.
Mr. Simir was among them.
“It’s getting late today. Everyone, go back and get some rest. Work harder tomorrow and try to get this product out as soon as possible. I’ll give everyone a big bonus when the time comes.” As Mr. Simir spoke, he cupped his hands at everyone.
“Thank you, Mr. Simir.”
Everyone expressed their gratitude and left one after another.
Mr. Simir waited for everyone to leave before locking the door himself. After fiddling with it for a while, he turned around and left.
Ye Feng pricked up his ears to listen for any movement, he found that the surroundings were already quiet, there was no more movement.
His hearing was extraordinary, and he could hear things that others couldn’t.
If even he couldn’t tell, then there wasn’t anyone left.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He took the lead and walked from behind the cardboard, followed by Anjou Prince.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Simir to do such a heartless thing. He’s simply too detestable.” Anjou Prince was a little angry.
Although they did not know why the other party did this, the current situation was obvious. The other party was making fakes.
This was a threat to the entire industry.
“I guess there’s a big secret hidden here!” Ye Feng looked at these dilapidated houses and could not help but sigh.
“Yeah, they make high-end fakes, and each one is worth hundreds of millions. It’s a huge profit.” After all, Anjou Prince was also the vice president of Sotheby’s Auction House, so she was very familiar with the profits of the counterfeit business.
The cost of a counterfeit was at most a few hundred yuan, or a few thousand yuan maximum.
However, it could be sold for hundreds of millions.
The profits were too great.
A great man once said that when the profit reached 10%, someone would be tempted.
When the profit reached 50%, some people would dare to take the risk.
When the profits reached 100%, they dared to trample on all the laws of the world.
When the profit reached 300%, they were not even afraid of being hanged.
And the profit from these fakes was not just 300%.
That was a 1000% or even 10000% profit.
From this, one could imagine how crazy these people would be.
Once this news spread, it would probably shake the entire Empire of the Sun Never Sets.
No one had expected that Mr. Simir, the chief consultant of the antique business under the Duke of Devonshire, would open a counterfeit factory in private.
Moreover, they specialized in forging the precious collections passed down from the Jerry Burrows family.
“I remember that you have a pinhole camera in your bag, right?” Ye Feng suddenly asked.
“Yes, why?” Anjou Prince asked curiously.
“Give it to me.” Ye Feng stretched out his hand to ask for it.
“You… Are you going in to install a camera?” Anjou Prince understood what he meant.
“This is the only way to get hold of them and find out what’s going on.”
“Hmph, who complained that I brought too many tools? Now you know how wise I am, right?” Anjou Prince had a smug smile on her face.
“Alright, you’re the smartest in the world, okay? Hurry up and bring it over.” Ye Feng urged.
Anjou Prince did not waste any more words and took out a few pinhole cameras from her bag.
The lenses of these cameras were only the size of green beans. It was really difficult to find them hidden in a hidden place.
Ye Feng put these cameras into his pocket, then walked to a few windows and pushed them. These windows were locked from the inside, if one wanted to enter, they would have to break the windows.
But this would alert the enemy.
He had no choice but to come to the door. There was a palm-sized copper lock hanging on the door.
“The door is locked. How are you going to get in?” Anjou Prince also followed.
Ye Feng picked up the lock and looked at it, he frowned.
This lock was specially made, and there were three keyholes at the bottom.
Among the three keyholes, only one should be real. The other two were most likely traps.
Once the wrong keyhole was inserted, it was very likely to trigger an alarm.
If it was someone else, they would most likely be helpless.
However, his five senses were amazing, and he had mastered the Metal Touching Proficiency. How could a mere lock stop him?
After taking the lock and feeling it around, he quickly realized that the rightmost lock was the real keyhole.
The other two were equipped with a chip. Once a metal object was stabbed in, it would immediately trigger the alarm.
What an old fox!
Ye Feng could not help but sigh, he searched the courtyard and found a thin iron wire.
Then, he walked back and stuffed it into the keyhole.
Anjou Prince watched curiously from the side.
Ye Feng took the iron wire and inserted it bit by bit, then twisted it lightly and stabbed it forcefully.
The seemingly mighty copper lock opened with a click.
“You know how to pick locks?” Anjou Prince looked at him in shock, as if she had discovered a new continent.
“It’s nothing.” Ye Feng winked at her smugly.
“What did you do in the past? Why do I feel like you’re proficient in all kinds of things?” Anjou Prince was greatly puzzled by this.
