Chapter 128: Private Secretary

When Tang Xin heard Huang Jianli say that he wanted to sell the shop to repay the loan, he was very surprised and asked: "Mr. Huang, why did it come to this point? Can't you think of some way from other ways? For example, you can find Lao Li and other friends to borrow tens of millions of yuan, pay off the loan shark first, and then find a way to pay them back later!"

"Brother, let me tell you the truth: my business has not been very good in the past few years, and I have lost some money. Especially at the beginning of this year, a friend invited me to partner in real estate development, and for this reason, I have invested hundreds of millions of yuan, of which tens of millions of yuan were borrowed from relatives and friends such as Lao Li and my brother. However, this real estate project has not yet seen benefits, and it still needs to invest money in it. Therefore, it is difficult for me to borrow money from relatives and friends anymore. ”

Tang Xin used to only know that Huang Jianli was a big boss and a rich man, but he didn't know his real financial situation, but now when he heard him, he knew that he was also short of funds. Once the 130 million yuan cannot be recovered, not only will Huang Jianli be in trouble, but he will also owe a huge debt of 30 million......

However, although he knew that the situation was very serious, Tang Xin did not mess up, and comforted Huang Jianjian: "Mr. Huang, don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's slowly find a way to find a way together, and we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties." ”

Huang Jianli let out a ruthless "um" and asked, "Brother, are you done with your business, when can you go back to Hengjiang?"

"It's coming, I should be able to fly back tomorrow morning. ”

Huang Jianli said hatefully: "Don't give the man surnamed Meng a favor, come back immediately! He is a friend of the bastard surnamed Liang, and he is probably not a good person, so you don't pay attention to him anymore." ”

Tang Xin hurriedly said: "Mr. Huang, this may not be. I have been with Meng Baishan for the past two days, and from the information revealed in his words, in fact, his relationship with Liang Gongzi is only average. Moreover, Liang Gongzi once extorted several antique calligraphy and paintings from Meng Baishan on the pretext of helping him settle the criminal case, so Meng Baishan has always been a little resentful of him. ”

Huang Jianjian let out an "oh" and asked, "You should have appraised most of the collections for Meng Baishan, how are those collections?

"Yes, and a lot. His home has more than a dozen paintings and calligraphy works by Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Fu Baoshi and other modern and modern masters, all of which are genuine after my identification. These are not the most valuable, though. You may not believe it: in the collection of Mengbai Mountain, there is a cursive calligraphy by Wang Xizhi, which is the famous "His Calligraphy". After my identification, this "Calligraphy Post" was copied by Chu Suiliang, a famous calligrapher and painter and prime minister of the Tang Dynastyβ€”β€”"

"What? Chu Suiliang's copy of "His Calligraphy"? This is a rare treasure!" Huang Jianli couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, among all the collections in Mengbai Mountain, this "Calligraphy of His Calligraphy" should be the most valuable. However, when I told him that it was a copy of the Tang Dynasty, Meng Baishan seemed to be very disappointed, thinking that this calligraphy was not Wang Xizhi's authentic work and must not be very valuable, so he did not pay much attention to this rare treasure. I saw that he was a little unlearned, and he didn't even have the most basic knowledge of antique calligraphy and painting appreciation, so he didn't break it. ”

Huang Jianli asked excitedly: "Brother, are you sure that Meng Baishan doesn't know the true value of this calligraphy?"

"Sure. ”

"Great, this is a good opportunity for us to pick up the leaks! If we can buy this "His Calligraphy" at a low price, and then sell it to my overseas Chinese friend in Southeast Asia, not only can we recover the 130 million yuan that was deceived by Liang Gongzi, but maybe we can also earn tens of millions!"

Tang Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Huang, I think it's a bit inappropriate to do this. First of all, Meng Baishan invited me to come to him for an appraisal of the treasure, and also promised to give me a lot of appraisal fees. If I knew that his calligraphy was valuable, but I didn't tell him the truth, but bought it at a low price and spread it in the future, how could I gain a foothold in the antiques industry?

"Secondly, although Meng Baishan is a bit unlearned and profligate, I can see that his nature is relatively kind, and he is also very bold and righteous. If I buy this "His Calligraphy" from him by deception, it will not only violate my basic principles of life, but will also make me feel guilty and my conscience uneasy. So, we'll have to find another way. ”

Huang Jianli knew that Tang Xin was kind-hearted, and he would definitely not do this kind of deceptive thing, so he didn't force him, and said: "It's okay if we don't pick up the leaks, you can tell Meng Baishan that this book is very valuable, and then let him see it for the sake of you guiding him, give us a discount on the price, and let us make money." ”

"Mm-hmm, this works. However, if Meng Baishan knows the true value of this bookpost, even if he gives in on the price, we will need hundreds of millions of funds to buy the bookpost, where will we get this money?"

Huang Jianjian hesitated: "This is indeed a problem. In this way, don't think about money first, go to Meng Baishan to talk to him, and ask him if he is willing to sell this "His Calligraphy". If he wants to sell, we'll find a way to raise money. ”

"Good. ”

At around nine o'clock, Meng Baishan drove to the hotel and picked up Tang Xin to his house to continue appreciating treasures.

"Master Tang, there is a super-rich man's personal secretary who wants to come to my house to see antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and if he sees something good, he will buy it back on behalf of the super-rich man. It's a big business, so please show him your magic skills and convince him of you, and I'll be able to negotiate with him. ”

While driving, Meng Baishan said happily - he now admires Tang Xin's magic skills so much that he has always called him "Master Tang".

Tang Xin smiled and said, "Okay, I wish Mr. Meng a fortune first." By the way, what's the name of that super-rich man? What's the name of his company?"

"Have you heard of Haiyuan Group? That super-rich man is the chairman of Haiyuan Group, named Yuan Zhenhai. ”

"Yuan Zhenhai, Haiyuan Group, that is really a super-rich man, on the domestic rich list, should be ranked in the top ten. ”

Tang Xin exclaimed.

"Yes. Haiyuan Group takes commerce, cultural tourism and finance as its core industries, especially cultural tourism. Chairman Yuan Zhenhai loves antique calligraphy and painting, and has always had a good relationship with my father. When he heard that I was interested in selling part of my collection, he sent his personal secretary to negotiate a deal with me. It is said that his personal secretary used to be engaged in the appraisal of antique calligraphy and paintings, and his eyesight is very good, and he can distinguish the authenticity of ordinary antique calligraphy and paintings. ”

Tang Xin smiled and said: "If he has good eyesight, it will save a lot of trouble, and I can also test my skills with him at that time, hahaha!"

Not long after Tang Xin and Meng Baishan entered the villa, Yuan Zhenhai's personal secretary also drove over.

This secretary's surname is Li, his name is Li Chulin, he is about forty years old, wears a pair of gold-wire glasses, his figure is neither fat nor thin, his clothes are very delicate and neat, and he looks like a senior white-collar worker who is both shrewd and wise, and very rigorous.
