Chapter 468: Antiques Stolen
"Xu Qingliu, listen to me explain, I didn't mean it last night. I don't know why they poured me so much, why didn't they feed you?"
Hearing Shang Muli's doubtful words, Xu Qingliu couldn't help but smile and said, "Because, they know that I am not drunk with a thousand cups! And, you don't have to think about it too much. I didn't answer your call just now because I was talking to Steward Wang. ”
"Steward Wang?" Shang Muli just breathed a sigh of relief, and after hearing Wang Guocheng's name, he became interested and asked, "Is he looking for you to talk about business?" or something else?"
"He came to me and said that there was a new batch of antique calligraphy and paintings, so he invited me to take a look. Xu Qingliu couldn't help but explain, "It's not a rare object, just a pair of red, blue and jade chess and white jade chessboards that look like the Tang Dynasty court, which are quite good." The rest, just so-so. ”
Others may not understand it, but Shang Muli knows that what Xu Qingliu is talking about is generally something worth at least a few million or more. And he has always praised the red and blue jade chess pieces and the white jade chessboard, which must be a very good treasure.
It seems that if she has the opportunity in the future, she will have to deal with Wang Guocheng more.
Shang Muli thought so, and just wanted to talk to Xu Qingliu for a while, but saw Wang Cheng running in in a hurry, and looked at Shang Muli and shouted out breathlessly.
"Mr. Shang! Oh no! The vase of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that we were going to sell has been stolen and gone!"
Because Wang Cheng's voice was so loud enough, that Xu Qingliu on the other end of the phone also heard it.
Shang Muli hurriedly explained to Xu Qingliu: "Didn't our company have a vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty to cooperate with someone and sell it for five million?
Xu Qingliu hummed and said, "Of course I remember, this is still the list I took over." ”
"This vase has been stolen, you come back quickly, I will go with Wang Cheng to check the surveillance video first. ”
Stolen?
Xu Qingliu was a little unbelievable, but he still rushed back as fast as he could after hanging up the phone.
Shang Muli wanted to check the surveillance at the time of the crime in the monitoring room, but who knew that the surveillance at the time of the crime was artificially deleted, and he couldn't see who was in and out at all.
"What about the person in charge of the surveillance video?" Shang Muli suppressed his anger and asked, "There are only a few people who know the monitoring and management password, how can you know if you don't say it to others?"
Several employees who managed and monitored lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak when they heard Shang Muli say this.
This is more than 5 million things, and their monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan, if they admit it, even the lightest punishment will be equivalent to compensation.
Where can they afford to pay!
"If you don't recognize it, then I'll have to call the police to solve it. ”
Hearing Shang Muli say this, someone immediately called out.
"Mr. Shang, don't!" The head of monitoring and management immediately stood up and comforted, "Mr. Shang, a few of us are not stupid, if it was really one of us who did it." Then how can you just stare at stealing one thing? You must have stolen everything and sold it all together! If you take only one piece, you have to pick a few hundred million to choose, and there is no reason to put the future of our brothers into it for the sake of five million, what do you say?"
This is indeed very reasonable, Shang Muli simply calculated it and found that the time of the crime was when they all went to celebrate last night.
And the date when this thing is about to be handed over is the day after tomorrow, which means that the thief specially chose this time period to steal, deliberately and purposefully.
Shang Muli thought so, so he immediately called the police.
"Don't worry, I won't just wronged someone. Shang Muli looked at the few people in front of him and said, "If you really have nothing to do with this matter, I will give each of you three months' salary compensation." ”
After speaking, Shang Muli went out.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he collided with Xu Qingliu.
"You're here. Shang Muli said tiredly, "I have already called the police, and the detectives will be here soon." Sitting inside is the monitoring administrator, if you have anything you want to ask, I'm going to think about the worst solution to minimize the loss. ”
Xu Qingliu nodded, he understood how complicated Shang Muli's mood was at this moment.
No matter who this kind of thing falls on, it will be like a bolt from the blue.
Moreover, they also signed a contract with the seller.
No matter what happens, even if it is stolen, they will pay more than three times the price of the liquidated damages to the other party.
Although it is unreasonable, it is said in the contract.
Shang Muli naturally wanted to minimize the loss, and at the same time, he could find out who was behind the scenes.
Everything happened so coincidentally that it was like a big hole dug specifically for them.
"Wang Cheng, Xu Kai. After Xu Qingliu finished handing over to the detective, he returned to the office and asked, "Which one is our partner this time?"
Wang Cheng opened the contract and glanced at the official seal and said: "It is a pawnshop that has just taken shape, and they are willing to spend five million to cooperate, full of sincerity." That's why we decided to work together. ”
Xu Qingliu thought for a while, then slowly spoke: "Yes, I thought so at the time, but now it seems that their suspicion cannot be ruled out." ”
Hearing Xu Qingliu say this, Xu Kai and Wang Cheng instantly understood the meaning of his words.
"You're saying that this pawnshop deliberately pays a premium to buy something that isn't equivalent. Then, buy someone else to steal or something, deliberately make the cooperation impossible to achieve, so as to defraud a high amount of liquidated damages?"
Xu Qingliu nodded, he didn't check the various information in the circle before starting the company.
It is true that there are some pawn shops that deliberately do this for the sake of high liquidated damages.
However, before finally deciding to cooperate, Xu Qingliu also checked the background information of the pawn cooperative.
There is no bad record, and some of the companies that have cooperated with their family before have also given a good background.
Otherwise, in just one year, how could such a small pawn shop be able to take out five million to buy something that was only worth about three million.
That's a whopping two million more.
However, there are some people who will deliberately buy it this way, in order to buy it back and appreciate the value, or to give it up for auction.
The difference in the middle can be made very quickly, and even more can be earned.
It's not impossible.
Therefore, Xu Qingliu did not doubt it.
However, it happened that at this juncture, it happened after they celebrated.
This has to make people reverie for a while.
"That's it! I'll do it again. Xu Kai said with a look of eagerness to eat people, "Otherwise, I really can't swallow this breath!"
Xu Qingliu nodded in agreement and said, "Go ahead, I also think this is too coincidental, if we don't steal it sooner or later, we just steal it when we go out to celebrate." In addition, you can hire a programmer to check the monitoring equipment to see if there are any signs of system intrusion. ”
When Wang Cheng heard Xu Qingliu say this, he couldn't help asking: "Invaded? Do you mean that someone installed a Trojan virus in the monitoring equipment when we weren't paying attention, so that it can be controlled remotely?"
"Yes, that's what I meant. Xu Qingliu pondered and said, "Now that technology is too advanced, it is not too difficult to use Trojan viruses for remote control." So, we have to check it carefully. As long as they do, they will definitely leave a trace. ”
Xu Kai nodded and hurriedly did as he said.
Wang Cheng also followed Xu Qingliu's instructions and cooperated with the detectives' investigation to see if there were any ghosts in the company.
Now everything is going according to plan, whether there are internal ghosts catering to the inside and outside, or being cheated, the results will be available soon.
At the request of Xu Kai and Wang Cheng, the technicians came to the monitoring room, and after operating the monitoring and management equipment, they looked at them and said: "You guessed correctly, there are indeed traces of Trojan viruses." ”
