Chapter 98: The Black Market

The reason why Su Chen had this idea was mainly because the previous two auctions were led by the government, and then directly handed over to the antique dealers below to organize.

And every time the organizer is almost several antique dealers, which can be called messy.

He didn't mean to set up an auction company, because it was not realistic, neither he nor Lin Xiongye's capital was qualified.

But just by simply obtaining the right to organize an auction, Su Chen felt that there was still hope.

Lin Xiongye fell into deep thought.

If he obtains the right to this auction, the benefits will naturally be obvious, not to mention anything else, as long as it is successfully held, all the antique shops under his name, including Su Chen's newly opened pawn shop, will have a bad reputation. In the antiques industry, fame is sometimes equal to money.

However, let's not mention whether they can have the qualifications to take down this organizational right, even if they really get the organizational right, the investment is not small, and the most important thing is that if they mess up and fail to report, the result will be very embarrassing.

"Su Xian's nephew, in fact, the auction organization rights of the first two auctions were organized by many powerful antique dealers, and the most important thing is that everyone is worried that they can't play alone, because this kind of large-scale auction, the people who come are not only Jinnan locals. I'll just ask you, are you sure?" Lin Xiongye said seriously.

Seeing Lin Xiongye's serious appearance, Su Chen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked directly at him and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, I'll contact tomorrow and try to get this organizational right. Lin Xiongye glanced at Su Chen deeply and expressed his support for him with his actions.

After dinner, Su Chen prepared to go out to join Du Chenghai and go to the black market.

When Lin Wanqing heard about it, she also shouted to go together.

Su Chen thought about it, Du Chenghai was there, and Lin Xiongye had no objection, so he nodded and agreed.

"Su Chen, I haven't been to that black market yet, my dad said there are a lot of good antiques there. While driving, Lin Wanqing said with some excitement.

She used to study in other places, Lin Wanqing actually didn't know much about the antique gathering place in Jinnan City, and she had only heard of the black market, although she had always wanted to see it, but she always had no chance.

Whoever it is, there is always a curiosity about this obviously mysterious place.

Coming to the intersection of Jinzhai Road, which he had made an appointment with Du Chenghai, Su Chen saw a domineering Range Rover parked there at a glance, and there were two jeeps behind him.

"Brother Du, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

After getting out of the car, Su Chen walked over and said hello to Du Chenghai.

At this time, Du Chenghai was obviously dressed as a social person, looking mighty and domineering, worthy of being the boss of the underground forces in Jinnan City.

"Brother Su doesn't have to be so polite, let's go, that black market is open for three days every week, and today is the last day of this week. ”

Du Chenghai turned his head sideways, saw Lin Wanqing sitting in the BMW, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are so blessed, you have such a beautiful girlfriend." ”

Brother Du laughed. Su Chen smiled and waved his hand and returned to the car.

Subsequently, under the opening of the two jeeps, Su Chen and Du Chenghai drove out of the urban area of Jinnan City and headed towards the northern suburbs.

After driving on a somewhat remote dirt road, about a dozen kilometers, the group came to a factory that looked like an abandoned factory.

The factory covers a huge area, about five or six thousand square meters, and is protected by a high fence on the perimeter.

Seeing that the gate of the wall was directly open, a trace of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

"It seems that this black market is indeed not simple, dare to be so blatant. ”

After driving the car in, Su Chen saw that in a special parking area, dozens of cars were quietly parked, all kinds of models, ordinary models worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and luxury cars worth millions.

"Let's go, come with me. ”

followed Du Chenghai to the east side of the factory, there was a big iron gate, and there were two tall security guards at the door, with a faint evil aura on their bodies, and they were not ordinary gangsters at first glance.

The two security guards obviously knew Du Chenghai, and when they saw him, they nodded: "Master Hai, you are here, please come in." ”

Du Chenghai nodded, and said to Su Chen as he entered: "There are fixed small shops in this black market, but most of them are temporary trading stalls, and the organizers of the black market are only responsible for the basic order, and the rest is not careless, so when you buy something, you must keep your eyes open......

Speaking of this, Du Chenghai laughed: "Look at me, I almost forgot that Brother Su is a big expert in the antique world, it seems that tonight, I can still follow Brother Su to rub it out." ”

Hearing this, Su Chen just smiled, he just came to find out if there was any news about Zhu Rui's painting, but if he really saw something good, it wouldn't hurt to make a move.

Compared with Su Chen's indifference, Lin Wanqing, who had been following him closely, couldn't help but look around curiously.

A few people walked through a corridor and pushed open a door, and suddenly, bright lights were reflected on everyone's faces, and a wave of sound also came to their faces.

The whole black market, it looks like a small commercial street, divided into two floors, the first floor are some temporary stalls, which look very simple, and the second floor is a high-end area, there are many small shops, the names are also strange, what blacksmith shop, carpenter shop and the like, I don't know, I thought it was a place to do crafts.

Walking around the first floor, Su Chen found that on the temporary stalls, most of the objects with mud marks were placed, some of them were tattered, and they couldn't even tell what they were, and the stall owners didn't say a word, just sat there, and didn't shout, and the entire first floor was full of a heavy atmosphere.

"Su Chen, are you talking about this, did you dig it out of the ground?" Lin Wanqing tightened Su Chen's arm tightly and said cautiously.

Although the lights here are still bright, she is still a little scared to see the stall owners who don't speak one by one.

"Yes, but most of them are fakes. Su Chen's eyes were poisonous, just a casual glance, he knew that these things were deliberately fake.

Even for the sake of realism, some of these things have been buried in the ground for a while, but this can't hide their false true colors.

Du Chenghai, who was walking in front, heard the conversation between the two, turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Su's eyes are really vicious. Brother and sister, most of the things here are fake, these spirits, many of them have been here for a long time, if ordinary people come here, hehe, it is estimated that they will be deceived very badly. ”

Hearing Du Chenghai's "brother and sister", Lin Wanqing suddenly blushed, but her hand holding Su Chen's hand involuntarily tightened.

came to the second floor, Du Chenghai directly took Su Chen and the two to a shop located on the outermost, and there was a sign on it that read the words "grocery store".

Stretching out his hand and knocking on the counter, Du Chenghai said directly: "Old grandson, come out." ”

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the store, and a guy who looked to be in his fifties and had shrewdness in his eyes walked out, and when he saw Du Chenghai, his face was immediately replaced with a smirk: "It turned out to be Lord Hai, what kind of wind blew you here?"

"Don't talk to me haha, my brother has something to ask you about. Du Chenghai said politely at all.

This one called Lao Sun Tou didn't care, and he still had a smile on his face: "Even if you ask, I must know everything and say everything." ”

Du Chenghai nodded, and then said to Su Chen: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask him, this guy has been here the longest and is most familiar with this place." ”

Su Chen nodded, and didn't play any tactfulness, and asked directly: "I heard that someone here has recently been selling a painting by the great painter Zhu Rui of the Song Dynasty, I want to know whose hands it is." ”

Zhu Rui...... Oh, are you talking about the "Swirling Picture of Streams and Mountains" in the hands of the little leather monkeys?"

"yes, where are those people on this picture?"

Su Chenlai directly inquired about Jin Qiaoqiao, and asked the name of the lost painting, which was called "Flowing Mountains and Rivers".

"You said the little leather monkeys, I don't know if they are or not, but that painting has been sold in the painting shop in front of you, you can ask directly. The old grandson poked his head out of the store and stretched out his finger.

When he came to the painting shop that Lao Sun Tou said, Su Chen found that sure enough, the name was not wrong, there were indeed many paintings here, and many of them obviously had an ancient charm.

"Master Hai, why do you have time to come here today?" The owner of the painting shop is an elegant and pedant middle-aged man with glasses, and when he saw Du Chenghai, he also looked flattering.

"Boss, I heard that you have a picture of Zhu Rui's "Wandering Pictures of Streams and Mountains" here?" Su Chen asked directly.

"Yes, are you interested?" The middle-aged man glanced at Su Chen, found that it was a young man, looked at Shandong for a moment, and asked.

"I want to know, who is the owner of this painting?" Su Chen didn't say if he was interested, and asked rhetorically.

Hearing Su Chen directly ask the owner of the painting, the middle-aged man's face changed, and then he looked at Du Chenghai, and when he saw Du Chenghai's expressionless face, he chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that this is not the real owner of the painting who is looking for trouble, right?

He thought a lot at once, and the whole person stood up from his seat: "That painting has nothing to do with me, it's all the little leather monkey and they asked me to help them." If you want to find me, you can't find me. And the painting isn't with me either. ”

As soon as he saw this guy's appearance, Su Chen knew that this guy wanted to be crooked, and he was a little speechless, secretly saying that these guys' self-imagination ability was still outstanding.

"Don't worry, I know the rules of the black market, just tell me where those people are. ”

Hearing Su Chen say this, this guy also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I don't know where those guys are, I only know that someone is ready to trade with them tonight, but it's not in this black market, I don't know where they are." ”

"You don't know?" Su Chen frowned, secretly saying that this matter was so complicated.

"Can you contact them and say we want to buy their paintings. ”

"Yes, you wait for me, and I'll be in touch. The middle-aged man was afraid that Su Chen would find him trouble, so he dared to excuse himself, so he directly took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.

A minute later, the middle-aged man made a phone call and reported an address to Su Chen, but said that he could only trade there tomorrow night.

"I can't see it, those people are still cautious. Su Chen said with a headache.

"If you are not careful, it is estimated that you will be arrested a long time ago. Don't worry, I'll keep the people here tight-lipped. Du Chenghai said.

Because tomorrow night we can only see those who really stole the "Journey of Streams and Mountains", so everyone has nothing to do next, so they just stay and see if there are any old objects, and prepare to pick up a few to take back.
