This is Zheng Zheng's routine.

After saying so much mystery before, Zheng Zheng identified the cane as a real antique, so it was obvious that he was now in the upper hand. Therefore, in order for Anna not to feel any discomfort, Zheng Zheng had to give the initiative of the topic to Anna. To put it bluntly, this is taking care of Anna's emotions.

Since Anna has information about this cane, he can naturally say a lot. As long as Zheng Zheng is a good observer when he speaks, he can make Anna feel something akin to "listen to me tell you what you don't know". In contrast, because of what Zheng Zheng said that he didn't understand half-understood, the feeling of "dwarfed" in Anna's subconscious would be diluted a lot.

Zheng Zheng is not the kind of person who likes to live under others, but if a simple operation can make others feel "above others", so as to make it more convenient to do the next thing, Zheng Zheng is not too troublesome.

Obviously, Anna was very interested in the topic that Zheng Zheng talked about. He turned the cane in his hand and said with a smile, "The information about this cane was found in some correspondence between Newton and his friends. As for the letters, they were bought by chance. Originally, I didn't pay much attention to these letters, but when I later identified the cane, they became the greatest help. ”

"Mr. Zheng, you come here. Anna stretched out the handle of the cane to Zheng Zheng, pointed to the little notch of the apple carved on the cane, and said to Zheng Zheng: "I am sure that this was made by Newton's own hands, precisely because of this. Because in his letter to his friend, he mentioned this, saying that because he was not familiar with how to carve a pattern on a walking stick, he accidentally carved a notch when carving an apple. ”

Zheng Zheng really didn't expect that the gap on the apple would be like this. He shook his head and smiled, "If it weren't for you, Mr. Anna, I really didn't know that this gap came from this way. ”

"Not many people can think of this, and it is normal for Mr. Zheng to not guess it. ”

With a smug remark, Anna put the staff back in the box and called for the things to be taken out.

After everything was cleaned up, the two sat down again.

Anna has already verified Zheng Zheng's level, so in his opinion, it is time to take care of the rest: "Mr. Zheng, do you intend to develop in Europe? If you have this intention, I think we can reach a cooperation, you will be my consultant, and I will give you a very good salary." ”

Zheng Zheng knew that this was to the point, he pondered in his heart, and said: "Actually, Mr. Anna, I came to Europe this time not out of my own intentions, but in accordance with the wishes of my family. I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Anna. But before I do that, I would like to explain to Mr. Anna what I am doing in Europe. ”

On this topic, Zheng Zheng was not prepared to use much attention. If Zheng Zheng is vague with him at this time, things will not be easy to handle in the future, so it is better to make it clear to Anna now. However, it is inconvenient to tell Anna everything about this, what to say and what not to say, Zheng Zheng still knows in his heart.

"Family?" Anna heard this, and looked at Zheng Zheng's eyes a little strangely: "Mr. Zheng, I don't quite understand what you mean......

Looking at Anna's eyes and listening to Anna's tone, Zheng Zheng knew in his heart that there was something wrong with what he said, and Anna misunderstood again. Italians should be more sensitive to the word "family" than people in other European countries, and there is no way, who let the mafia, which is famous all over the world, come from Italy, and exist in the form of "family"?

"You may have some misunderstanding about my family, Mr. Anna. ”

Zheng Zheng smiled and explained to Anna: "My family is in Chinese mainland and has always been engaged in the legal antique industry. And I accepted a family assessment, and the first requirement of the assessment was that I should come to Europe. That's why I came to Italy. ”

"So...... Is your family an antique family?" asked Anna.

Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Oh......" Anna nodded, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "So, what is the content of your assessment? You can tell me, let's see if there is any conflict between our cooperation plan and your assessment content." Maybe I can help you with that. ”

Anna's question is really in Zheng Zheng's arms, otherwise Zheng Zheng really doesn't know how to talk to Anna. Following this conversation, Zheng Zheng said: "This assessment is not troublesome, but it is still more time-consuming. The first task is to make 30 million yuan in the antique market, and use the 30 million to buy back some antiques, and return these antiques to the family, who will estimate whether the value of the antiques is higher than 30 million. ”

"Wow...... Anna shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's not a small amount...... Do you have any plans for Mr. Cheng?"

To be honest, Zheng Zheng really didn't have any plans for this task. Antiques this kind of thing, sometimes really look at fate, fate may be able to find a great antique, if fate does not arrive, then even if you see the sky in the auction house can not go around the good object, it is really difficult to say. Although Zheng Zheng is backed by a bronze scale, this can only ensure that he can recognize good things more easily than others, but it does not improve Zheng Zheng's chances of encountering good things.

So this is the case...... Zheng Zheng was really a little worried. There is nothing to do in front of me, but to take one step at a time, but fortunately, the time period of the entire mission is three years, and there is no need to rush it.

Hearing Anna's question, Zheng Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "This matter is a bit troublesome, but it doesn't take a short time to do, so it's not so difficult to do in comparison." Another task that really gave me a headache was to authenticate antiques for a national figure in order to strengthen the family's reputation. In contrast, 30 million yuan is just a matter of making money, and it only takes one or two good opportunities to do it. But appraising antiques for a national figure...... It's not just about money. Without the connections and resources, this cannot be done. ”

After speaking, Zheng Zheng sighed, lit a cigarette, and smoked sullenly, as if he was very worried about this matter.

If you want to say that you are worried, Zheng Zheng is really worried. But the worried look he was looking at now was for Anna to see. He couldn't directly ask Anna, "Do you have any royal and aristocratic connections, use it", he could only use this way to induce Anna to bring up this matter himself. He is also really worried in his heart, so it can be regarded as a performance in his true colors, and no matter who looks at the expression on his face, he can't find a flaw.

When Zheng Zheng mentioned "national figures", Anna's expression changed significantly, obviously this was a certain thought in his heart. Zheng Zheng saw this expression in his eyes, and knew that this matter was a good thing.

"Is that so......"

The thoughtful look on Anna's face flashed, and after a moment's attention, she asked Zheng Zheng, "Mr. Zheng, I want to ask something that I may not ask, and I hope Mr. Zheng will not be surprised." I've heard that Chinese have many taboos, so I hope the things I ask don't touch your taboos. If so, I beg your pardon. ”

Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "Please speak, Mr. Anna." ”

Anna frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Zheng's family has been able to exist forever, does it have something that others don't have?" Let me give an example of what I am a little offended by...... There are old shops in Rome that have existed for many years, and although they can't be compared to other stores in many places, there are things that other stores can't compare to, so customers come to the door all the time. Is this also the case with Mr. Zheng's family?"

He was quite cautious in his words, and it took Zheng Zheng some effort to understand what Anna meant. He was asking if Zheng Zheng's family had any secrets that no one else knew in order to survive in the highly competitive antique industry. This Anna is also an interesting person, and knows that it is a bit of a problem to inquire about this kind of thing, so he only beats around the bush when he speaks.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Zheng's thoughtful appearance, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zheng, I'm just curious." If something is inappropriate, Mr. Cheng does not need to be embarrassed. ”

"No, no ......"

To tell the truth, Zheng Zheng was not embarrassed at all, he was thinking about how to lead this conversation away, and Anna himself asked, what is he embarrassed about? Moreover, the Zheng family's ability to repair antiques is not a secret at all in the domestic antique industry, but the Zheng family's signboard, and Anna also has some misunderstanding of the concept of "taboo" in China, so this is the case.

"As you say, Mr. Anna, my family has always existed in something that no one else has. ”

Zheng Zheng first threw out a sentence to whet Anna's appetite, and then said: "My family is proficient in the restoration of antiques. As long as an antique is not completely shattered into granules, my family can restore it. If the antique is not extremely broken, my family can restore the antique completely. ”

"Completely restored?" Anna repeated Zheng Zheng's words in disbelief and said, "Mr. Zheng...... I wonder if there is some ambiguity between what I mean by complete restoration and what you mean by complete restoration? Are you saying that your family is able to restore an antique to its original appearance without leaving a trace?"

Zheng Zheng nodded, shook his head slightly, and said, "This depends on the degree of fragmentation of the antique, if the degree of fragmentation of the antique is not very bad, this can be done." If the antique is too broken and has been stored for a long time, it will inevitably leave some traces. ”
