Chapter 51: Grey Deals
When Wei Xiu returned to the dormitory to get the cash, he also turned on the computer by the way, emailed the list of antiques that had been screened out recently to Sun Lao, and called to confirm it at the same time.
Sun Lao is kind to him, and this kindness must be repaid. The auction he participated in this time was not so much an auction as a meeting of a group of tomb robbers to sell stolen goods, and Wei Xiu didn't know what dangers he would encounter, and it would be good if he delayed Sun Lao's action, so Wei Xiu had to send the list in advance.
However, for the sake of safety and conservatism, Wei Xiu did not list all the fakes in detail in the list, but mixed a few genuine ones into them.
Originally, Wei Xiu also planned to miss a few fakes, but he thought that if he missed it at this time and Sun Lao didn't find it again, wouldn't the relevant recourse department really miss those few antiques because of his deliberate mistake? This is a big mistake of the nation, Wei Xiu can't afford it, so mixing a few genuine items in the list of fakes is already his limit.
Wei Xiu believes that his list of fakes will definitely be checked again by professionals. I can't say that the person who checked it is Sun Lao, and those genuine items can be easily found.
After dealing with this matter, Wei Xiu hurriedly left with cash, and called Da Lei when he left, asking him to help him go to class again and answer by name.
In this university, Wei Xiu has considered whether to drop out of school, but he can't arouse much interest in what is taught in school.
……
Looking at the high-rise buildings rising from the southern suburbs of Fuxing Avenue in Qinghe City, no one would have imagined that two years ago it was a notorious slum in Qinghe City, famous for accounting for one-fifth of the city's crime rate.
However, even now, it is still a favorite place for many homeless homeless people, because it is close to construction sites, and there are many color steel sandwich panels in various abandoned construction site container houses.
Probably due to the influence of the culture of "each sweeping the snow in front of the door and taking care of the frost on the tiles of others", these homeless people were not driven out by the development zone, and the south of the southern suburbs is a rather barren wasteland full of weeds, these homeless people can play Taizu's harassment tactics of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance" to exchange space for time, so the cost of this drive is really worth the loss, and no one will do this thankless thing anymore.
At this time, no one noticed that a rather dilapidated van slowly crushed the thick dead grass that had been left over from the past year, and headed for the more barren places south of the southern suburbs.
From time to time, you can see one or two tattered homeless people basking in the sun on the straw mats.
The van finally stopped in an overgrown area, and unexpectedly, a container house suddenly stood here, and several vigilant men stood outside the boardhouse.
The van door opened, and three men and one woman came out from above. The woman's makeup is exquisite, and she is carrying an expensive Chanel bag. And the three men, two of whom were dressed in suits and leather shoes, were extravagant. It was the last man, who was no more than a weak crown year, carrying an old backpack, looking indifferent, but in fact quite vigilant, and began to look at the surrounding environment as soon as he got out of the car.
After the four of them got off the car, a few men came over from the container board room and welcomed the four people into the board room with a polite face.
At this time, a group of people had gathered in the board room, these people were sitting on simple plastic chairs or closing their eyes to recuperate, or chatting in twos and threes, except for those who did not play with their mobile phones.
When the four of them entered the board room, the people inside suddenly turned their heads and glanced over, and many people greeted them with a look of surprise, one by one: "Haha, Lao Du, are you here too?" and "Boss Li! Oh, what a coincidence!"
Only the young man, no one greeted him, and he didn't greet him just because he didn't know him. But many people looked at him with curiosity and scrutiny, as if they were very skeptical of this young man's qualifications.
"Brother Wei?" A stunned exclamation made many people turn their heads to look at the source of the sound, only to see Boss Sang, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, stood up in surprise at this time and strode over to meet him.
This young man was none other than Wei Xiu.
Wei Xiu looked at Boss Sang Shenghong in surprise, obviously surprised to see an acquaintance here.
"Oh, it's really you! I was still thinking about Brother Yiwei's eyes just now, it's a pity not to participate in this kind of event, I didn't expect to say that Cao Cao Cao arrived! Haha......" Boss Sang said enthusiastically, at this time, his expression no longer had the kind attitude of taking care of the younger generations when he saw Wei Xiu for the first time, but a gesture of equality and intersection, and even a little flattery.
Wei Xiu smiled, nodded without humility or arrogance: "It turned out to be Boss Sang, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here." ”
"Haha, it's a coincidence!" Boss Sang laughed, looking quite heroic.
At this time, many people who knew Boss Sang were already surprised, what was the origin of this young man?
You must know that Boss Sang's posture is obviously a kind of peer intersection, which can only show that this kid is either amazing, and his family wealth and power are much higher than Boss Sang's;
But whether it is the former or the latter, it shows that this kid is not simple!
The tomb robber who had been looking at this place coldly not far away suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw this scene, the sixth child's vision was really good, and this randomly developed customer seemed to have a lot of financial resources.
When they do such gray things, they naturally like this kind of customers with money and status the most. Because once something unexpected happens, such as the old cat chasing after them, they can instantly escape with the help of powerful terrain, and these customers can also drag the old cat for them because of their status and wealth, and even help them excuse themselves.
In the exchange of greetings between Wei Xiu and Sang Shenghong, two more customers walked in outside, and then the door of the board room was closed, and a person in charge who had just walked in clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, pay attention, the auction is about to start." I repeat the rules of the auction: the auction items can be viewed up close but not touched, the price increase of each auction shall not be less than 5,000, and the auction shall be traded in cash, if the cash is insufficient, the auction should be stopped immediately, otherwise the admission will be disqualified for life. ”
This man spoke in a very light tone, but none of the wealthy businessmen present dared to underestimate him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has lost his conscience by walking in the pile of dead people and making money from the dead. There is no need to resist this kind of person, everyone is a businessman, and they make money in harmony!
Afterwards, everyone casually found a chair to sit down, and it was only then that Wei Xiu realized that Boss Sang did not come alone, but brought a middle-aged man with a rather arrogant face. Listening to the introduction of Boss Sang, this person's name is Cai Yongguang, who is one of the appraisers of Haotian Auction House in Qinghe City, and has a lot of research on bronzes, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings!!
Boss Sang was invited to this gray auction this time, so he spent a lot of money to invite him to come over and take a look, just to see if he could catch some treasures.
Wei Xiu greeted this person politely, but he nodded coldly without wanting this person, looking like an arrogant scribe.
Boss Sang explained with some embarrassment: "Teacher Cai has a cold temperament, he has studied antiques for a long time and is learning, you know, don't care." ”
Wei Xiu waved his hand and said that it didn't matter, thinking about a hundred people and a hundred natures, it was normal for someone to be lonely and cold, so he didn't care.
However, Boss Sang was quite enthusiastic, and kept talking to Wei Xiu, chatting about Boss Qian's Tang Ivory Carving for a while, and chatting about the treasures that might appear today, but Wei Xiu didn't feel left out.
While talking and laughing here, it didn't take long for the organizers to prepare the auction items and get ready to start.
In other words, this so-called auction is simply not like an auction, but the environment of the vegetable market is much better than here. But none of the people present complained, but everyone showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.
The door of the board room was pushed open, and in came a man with emaciated muscles and bulging muscles, who gave people a chilly feeling as soon as he entered, holding a tray in his hand, on which were placed three elbow-sized terracotta figurines.
As soon as this terracotta figurine appeared, the scene suddenly became lively, and many people stood up excitedly.
