When he first arrived in Australia, Zheng Zheng had a feeling: hot, too hot.

It's no wonder that when Zheng Zheng was in China, it was still in the New Year, and the cold was very heavy, and it was stupid not to wear a down jacket to go out. But December to February in Australia, it's summer......

Zheng Zheng, who got off the plane in a thin down jacket, was naturally subjected to inhumane onlookers, from getting off the plane to walking to the bathroom of the airport, Zheng Zheng endured both mental and physical destruction, and scolded Wang Di in his heart: before Zheng Zheng left, Wang Di asked Zheng Zheng what clothes he was going to wear, and he was willing to buy a down jacket for Zheng Zheng to keep warm. Now that I think about it, Wang Di is holding back the bad......

Australia's official language is English, and Zheng Zheng thought that even if he had trouble discussing more profound issues with others, he should be able to cope with daily conversations, such as having a meal, taking a taxi, staying in a hotel, and so on. However, as soon as he pulled a foreigner to speak, Zheng Zheng understood his naivety: the foreigner spoke all the time, and it sounded quite like English, but Zheng Zheng was stunned and didn't understand anything.

Thinking about it, Zheng Zheng's half-baked English is estimated to be enough for the Americans, and he can roughly understand it. However, listening to Australia's English with a dialect flavor, Zheng Zheng's cultivation is not enough after all. After all, English with an accent is almost two languages like pure English, such as Indian English, Japanese English, Korean English, etc., and the accent can be completely weird to a level.

However, not being able to communicate is not a big deal, Zheng Zheng took off his thick clothes in the bathroom and took a free map from the airport.

Judging from the information obtained by Zheng Yonghe, the Liang family has branches in various port cities in Australia, but the family's headquarters is still in Melbourne. It also has to do with Melbourne's history, as it was actually the capital of Australia before the current Canberra, Australia. When the Liang family moved to Australia, it was much earlier, and the best choice at that time was Melbourne, from which Melbourne gradually radiated its own branches to other cities.

So now, although the Liang family's business spreads throughout all port cities in Australia, Melbourne, as the birthplace of the Liang family, has always existed as the headquarters of the Liang family. The Liang family's corporate headquarters are also in Melbourne, and the name is "Pathfi".

de

It translates to "pioneer".

It's just that knowing that these are still not enough, Zheng Zheng still can't get on the line with the Liang family. Zheng Zheng is still very clear about how many catties and taels he is now, he is a little shrimp to the Liang family, and if he rashly contacts the Liang family, the Liang family will not look at him at all, let alone want to talk to the other party about their family's treasures.

The approximate way is that Zheng Zheng has already figured out a rough idea on the plane, that is, to find a connection point between his expertise and the Liang family's business, and to be able to connect himself with the Liang family. Zheng Zheng, the Liang family's shipping company, is not interested and has no way to get in touch, but the Liang family has an antique shop and an auction house in Melbourne, which is a good opportunity for Zheng Zheng.

Zheng Zheng also smiled when he saw the configuration of an auction house and an antique shop, and the operation process of the black market is the same as this: the auction house auctions things with a relatively high value, and the ones that cannot be auctioned or have a relatively low value, but are also real antiques, are put into the antique store for sale. The difference between the two is just that the Liang family's business is legal, while Zheng Zheng's business is shady, but there is not much difference in essence.

The Liang family's antique shop is not well-known in Melbourne, but the auction house has a good reputation, undertaking various auctions, such as private auctions, bank auctions, judicial auctions, etc. However, in Zheng Zheng's view, these are just a few fractions, and what really supports the operation of the auction house should be the antiques on the sunken ships salvaged by the ocean.

According to the information, the number of auctions is not fixed, there is a fixed auction every month, but other auctions will be added from time to time. Zheng Zheng was in a hurry, and the monthly auction was held ten days later. There are no special requirements to enter the auction, and there is no problem with legal status.

He took the map and compared with the taxi driver, who took Zheng Zheng to a hotel in the city center. After booking a room for two weeks, Zheng Zheng also has a place to stay.

made a transatlantic call to Bai Xiaoxue to report her safety, Zheng Zheng didn't contact anyone else, simply ate something and left the hotel and went to the auction house under the name of the Liang family.

The auction house was not busy, and when Zheng Zheng walked in, the reception staff greeted him with a smile on his face and chatted with Zheng Zheng for a long time in English. Seeing that Zheng Zheng's English was not too slippery, the reception staff immediately found a translator who was proficient in Chinese, so that there was no obstacle to communication between the two sides.

Zheng Zheng was also a little surprised at first, he didn't say anything to have this treatment, his appearance is actually like that, and he doesn't have the air of a local tyrant who immediately worships at a glance, this treatment is a bit high...... However, looking at the reception staff smiling and introducing all kinds of antiques to him without blinking, Zheng Zheng also figured out the taste, his English is not smooth and has a Chinese accent, obviously making the other party recognize himself as a local tyrant......

It is no wonder that there are too many Chinese tyrants in the international market now, and news about China's rich second generation is endless. Entering this auction house is naturally a hero Mo asks the source, coupled with Zheng Zheng's not very smooth English, it is understandable that the other party regards Zheng Zheng as a local tyrant who wants to be a vassal and elegant with a bulging wallet.

However, because of such an image, he has such treatment, and Zheng Zheng really feels a little crying and laughing in his heart.

Holding the brochure of the auction house, he chatted with the translator and the reception staff, but Zheng Zheng's mind was not on these antiques. Not to mention whether these antiques with average appearance and high prices have purchase value, even if these antiques are leaks, Zheng Zheng will not pick them up. When he came to this auction house, he didn't even touch the idea of these antiques.

Coming to this auction house, Zheng Zheng just wanted to see the situation of the auction house, to put it in layman's terms, he just came here to step on the spot first and prepare for the future plan.

If you want to connect with the Liang family, it is not enough to enter the auction. Even if they auction a lot of antiques at auction, what can they do? The Liang family just regarded Zheng Zheng as a customer who came to auction antiques, and they couldn't attract the attention of the Liang family at all, and there was no reason to get in touch with the Liang family.

If you want to get on the line with the Liang family smoothly...... Then you have to do the Liang family a favor, a favor that the Liang family has to catch up with him.

"Excuse me......" Zheng Zheng closed the brochure in his hand, gestured to the translator, and asked, "I heard that there will be an auction in your bank in ten days, I don't know if there is any information about this auction?" ”

The interpreter spoke to the receptionist, and the receptionist nodded, motioned for Zheng Zheng to wait, walked back to the counter, rummaged for a while, brought a booklet, and handed it to Zheng Zheng.

Zheng Zheng took the booklet and turned it page by page, and finished turning over a booklet, Zheng Zheng's eyes lit up, and he secretly said in his heart, "Save trouble", and carefully looked at this page of information.

On this page there is a photograph of a porcelain vase with somewhat odd etchings. It is said that this erosion is strange because there are many traces of sand erosion blisters in the lower half of the porcelain vase, but there are no traces in the upper part, but the enamel of the porcelain vase is slightly faded. Moreover, these erosions are clearly demarcated from the areas that have not yet been corroded, as if they had been marked in advance, and then the lower part of the porcelain vase was immersed in the sand and gravel seawater to erode.

There is naturally an introduction to this porcelain vase next to it, but Zheng Zheng didn't look at it at all, and his eyes only stared at the photo of this porcelain vase. After looking at it again and again, Zheng Zheng nodded, confirming that what he thought in his heart should not be bad.

Closing the booklet in his hand, Zheng Zheng asked, "May I ask where the person in charge of your bank is?" There is an important matter that I would like to discuss with the person in charge of your bank. ”

The interpreter translated the words to the receptionist, who was still smiling before, and suddenly looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Zheng Zheng also understood in his heart that he had no good reason to let the family notify the person in charge, right? He pointed to the booklet in his hand and said, "It's something related to an antique on it, please be sure to contact the person in charge of your bank." ”

Listening to the interpreter understand what Zheng Zheng meant, the reception staff immediately disappeared with embarrassment, nodded, motioned for Zheng Zheng to sit here for a while, turned around and returned to the counter, and dialed a call.

After a while, the receptionist hung up the phone, came to Zheng Zheng's side, and spoke in English with a thick Australian accent while reaching out to Zheng Zheng to signal the stairs leading to the second floor.

Zheng Zheng listened half-understood and half-understood, so he could only turn his gaze to the translator on the side, and he relayed the meaning of the reception staff.

To be honest, Zheng Zheng is also a bit risky, whether he can meet the person in charge of the auction house smoothly is two words, and whether the person in charge of the auction house is a member of the Liang family is another two words. In case something goes wrong here, Zheng Zheng can really only use some other way to make up his mind at the auction in ten days.

"The person in charge would like to see you, he is upstairs now, please go upstairs to see him. ”

Hearing the translator say this, Zheng Zheng was relieved, and he finally met the person in charge. However, it is still uncertain whether the other party is a descendant of the Liang family, and everything can only be said after meeting.

Zheng Zheng's face was not good, and he nodded to the reception staff calmly, and he took himself and the translator to the second floor.

In front of a room on the second floor, the staff knocked on the door, pushed open the door and talked to the people inside, then turned his head and motioned for Zheng Zheng to enter the office.

Zheng Zheng came to the door of the office, looked inside, and suddenly felt a sense of certainty: sitting behind the boss's desk was a young man with yellow skin and black hair.
