Chapter 41: Shocking Change
"What did you say?"
In the restaurant, Zheng Zheng almost choked on a puff of cigarette, he really couldn't believe what he heard just now: "The Zheng family wants to buy Donglai Pavilion?"
"It's not about buying. Zheng Yonghe looked at his watch and corrected one of his mistakes: "According to the current time, the acquisition should have been completed by now." ”
"Holy shit. Zheng Zheng couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and he asked, "Is that kid from Zheng Bei doing a good thing again?"
Zheng Yonghe shook his head again and again, and said with a little disdain: "That Second Ancestor who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun with others every day? This matter was done by Zheng Yongming, who met with Wang Qian this afternoon and completed the merger. ”
"It's really ruthless......"
Zheng Zheng took a puff of his cigarette, suddenly smiled, and said, "If you buy Donglai Pavilion, you will buy Donglai Pavilion, it doesn't matter." Anyway, I'm not short of money now, and I can live anywhere. I'm still wondering if I should open my own antique shop to have fun with. ”
Zheng Zheng knew Zheng Yongming's intention to acquire the Donglai Pavilion, which was nothing more than to drive Zheng Zheng out of the Donglai Pavilion and then make him unable to gain a foothold in the Western Capital. If it was before, Zheng Zheng would still be worried about his future future, but now that he has three million yuan in hand that can be cashed out at any time, and a bronze scale, he believes that he can make a name for himself no matter where he is.
"If things really could be this simple, the meal I invited you to eat today would be called a farewell feast. Zheng Yonghe glanced at Zheng Zheng and said, "Do you have to know that Zheng Bei is very likely to become the future head of the family, you make Zheng Bei lose face three times and twice, where is this matter so simple?"
"How much more trouble can it be?" Zheng Zheng said disapprerovingly.
Zheng Yonghe extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at Zheng Zheng with a strange smile, and asked, "Your three million...... You got it from selling that "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", right?"
Zheng Zheng sighed in his heart, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"It stands to reason that this painting does not belong to you, after all, this painting is only placed in the Donglai Pavilion for consignment. If Wang Qian wants to be serious with you, it is estimated that he will share the interests with you equally, and he will not go too far, after all, he does not rely on this to eat. But what if Zheng Yongming, who took over the Donglai Pavilion, wants to seriously settle the accounts with you? These three million are the profits generated by 'the antiques consigned in the Donglai Pavilion after they are sold'. In this way, tell me how much of these three million can fall into your hands?"
"It's me thinking wrong......" Zheng Zheng said with a low sigh.
Zheng Zheng didn't think about this problem, so after the initial excitement and excitement, Zheng Zheng's expectation was that he could get at least 120 to 1.5 million out of the three million. After all, it was up to him to sell this painting, and he was the only person in charge of Donglai Pavilion, without him, Donglai Pavilion would really not have a pillar for a while, so Wang Qian would not force him too ruthlessly.
But if the boss of Donglai Pavilion is no longer Wang Qian, but Zheng Yongming, who has old hatred and new hatred with him...... Zheng Zheng felt that 100,000 of the three million could fall into his pocket, even if Zheng Yongming was magnanimous and disregarded his previous suspicions.
"Don't be so discouraged, since I told you about it, I have a solution. Zheng Yonghe saw Zheng Zheng frowning and thinking hard, and said with a smile.
Zheng Zheng glanced up at Zheng Yonghe, shook his head and said, "What else can be done?" Even if Zheng Yongming is unwilling to fall into the reputation of bullying juniors and show mercy to my subordinates, how can Zheng Bei easily let go of this great opportunity?"
"Zheng Yongming did this to force you back to the Zheng family. Only when you are under his nose can he feel at ease, and at the same time, he can control you a little bit and prevent you from continuing to be in the limelight and earn fame. ”
Zheng Yonghe said slowly: "Although he was very reluctant for you to return to the Zheng family before, but now it is different from the past, and this is also the way he figured out when he had no choice." I'm sure that if you want to leave Donglai Pavilion and don't return to the Zheng family, you won't get a penny of the three million, and no antique shop in the Western Capital will accept you, but if you are willing to return to the Zheng family, he will definitely give you a condition that you can't refuse, such as giving you all the three million. ”
"According to what you said, if I return to the Zheng family and basically belong to a state of being hidden, then what does this mean? But I'm a little curious," Zheng Zheng touched his nose and wondered: "When did I become so important, even Zheng Yongming had to deal with me so carefully." Also, why is he so afraid that I will be famous?"
Zheng Yonghe didn't speak immediately, he lit a cigarette, but avoided Zheng Zheng's question when he spoke, and said: "According to what I know about him, Zheng Yonghe's biggest request now is that you can return to the Zheng family." As long as you can promise him this premise, he should be able to consider opening your own store. But you have to be mentally prepared first, even if he asks you to open the store yourself, this store is definitely not so easy to open. ”
"It's nothing, as long as I can open the store, I'm really not afraid of him playing any tricks on me. Zheng Zheng's self-confidence comes from the bronze scale, as long as the bronze balance is in hand, it is really a very simple thing for Zheng Zheng to identify antiques. If Zheng Yongming can agree to his own conditions, it is the best, if Zheng Yongming does not agree, then it is a big deal to break up, the three million don't want it, as long as you have a bronze balance, making money is not a problem at all.
After finishing the matter, Zheng Zheng and the two were full of food and drink, Zheng Yonghe sent Zheng Zheng back to the antique street, and the two said goodbye. Before leaving, Zheng Yonghe also reminded Zheng Zheng that if all the formalities were in place, someone should go to receive Donglai Pavilion tomorrow, so that he could prepare as soon as possible. Zheng Zheng pondered, this is indeed the truth, if he and the Zheng family don't talk properly tomorrow, he really won't have a place to live for a while. So as soon as he returned to his residence, Zheng Zheng began to pack his things, which can be regarded as a rainy day.
Although Zheng Zheng doesn't have many things, he has lived here for two years, and there are indeed a lot of bits and pieces. He cleaned up for a while and was about to sit down to smoke a cigarette and rest for a while, when his mobile phone rang.
It was Wang Zhao who called, and he hadn't met in the afternoon, although he didn't know what Wang Zhao was like now, but Zheng Zheng could hear that Wang Zhao's voice had returned to its usual appearance: "What are you doing? Are you free? If it's okay, come out for a meal, I want to introduce someone to you." ”
Zheng Zheng subconsciously looked at the clock, touched his newly full stomach again, and said with a wry smile: "It's almost eight o'clock now, isn't it a little too late for dinner at this time? ”
"Pack up your things, what's wrong, aren't you going to continue working in Donglai Pavilion?" Wang Zhao's voice seemed a little excited.
Zheng Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in trouble, what are you excited about...... You don't know yet, do you? Donglai Pavilion has been acquired by the Zheng family, just this afternoon, and I just got the news.
If the prediction is correct, someone will come over tomorrow to hand it over. I'm living on the second floor of the East Pavilion now, so I'll have to pack up and make plans as soon as possible. 100% won't be staying in Dongraikaku tomorrow, but if you don't pack up until tomorrow, it will be troublesome, right? ”
Wang Zhao was silent for a while, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"That's right. Zheng Zheng said a little heartless: "I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow yet, I can only take one step at a time now." ”
"So that's ......" Wang Zhao paused and said, "That's fine, you can get busy with this matter first." When this is over, I would like to introduce you to a person and also talk about our cooperation. ”
"Okay......" Zheng Zheng agreed casually, and after a while, he suddenly woke up: "Uh, wait, you mean...... Cooperation?"
"Yes, it's cooperation. "What Wang Zhao said is beyond doubt. She softened her tone and said, "Your ability to identify antiques is very strong, and it can be said that you have reached the first-class level. But you don't have enough connections and money right now, so we can work together. ”
"I pay for you to buy antiques, and my contacts can also become your customers, and you just need to authenticate antiques. There are only two of us in this business, no one else, and I can give you the maximum freedom to let you do it. How? Think about it?"
Wang Zhao's proposal made Zheng Zheng really moved. If it is really like what Wang Zhao said, she can give herself the maximum freedom, then this is not a good way out, if the negotiation with the Zheng family collapses, then you can really consider Wang Zhao's proposal at that time. But now everything is still inconclusive, and Zheng Zheng doesn't dare to say anything: "Let's see, let's talk about it after I figure this matter out." ”
"Yes, yes. Wang Zhao paused and suddenly asked, "What time do you go to bed?"
