Chapter 369: Liang Wang
As soon as the young man spoke, Zheng Zheng's heart became more stable. Although the young man's accent was a little strange, he also spoke in Chinese: "Mr. Zheng, please come in." ”
Zheng Zheng nodded and walked into the young man's office, and the translator on the side naturally couldn't come in handy, so he left with the reception staff in a funny way.
The young man stood up, stretched out his hand to Zheng Zheng, and introduced himself: "My name is Jack Liang, and I am the head of this auction house. ”
"Fortunately, Mr. Liang. Zheng Zheng was sure in his heart, his face was not revealed, he shook hands with Jack Liang, and said with a smile: "My name is Zheng Zheng." ”
Jack Liang nodded and smiled, "Mr. Zheng, I am glad to meet you...... Have a seat. ”
Zheng Zheng pulled over the chair and sat down, looked at the furnishings in the office, and said, "Mr. Liang, your Chinese is very authentic...... From within the country?"
"No," Jack Leung said, shaking his head, "I was born and raised in Australia, and I've never been to China. It's just that my family migrated from China a few years ago, and I always said Chinese at home, so I said it Chinese...... I also have a Chinese name, called Liang Wang. ”
Zheng Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Liang Wangliang...... Well, it's a lot easier than calling you Jack Liang. ”
Liang Wang smiled, looked at Zheng Zheng, and asked, "What is Mr. Zheng looking for me for? If there is anything I can help with, Mr. Zheng, please tell me." ”
This is to put it mildly, in fact, it means "if you have something, you just say it's okay, you get out of here, don't delay my time". Zheng Zheng is not annoyed, he is indeed a little clueless here, Liang Wang is willing to see that he is already good, and people don't know what they are going to do, and it is normal for people to want to get to the point directly.
"Ahem......" Zheng Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Actually, there is nothing else, but when I read the information of your bank about the auction in ten days, I found a little problem, and I want to remind Mr. Liang." ”
"Oh?"
Liang Wang glanced at Zheng Zheng in surprise, shrugged his shoulders, and asked, "Mr. Zheng found something wrong, just say it." ”
said so, but judging from Liang Wang's expression, he didn't believe much in Zheng Zheng's statement, he just wanted to hear Zheng Zheng's statement and give Zheng Zheng a step.
Zheng Zheng also knew this, but Zheng Zheng didn't care about this, smiled, and said: "I saw an antique in your bank's brochure, and after I identified it, this antique should have been salvaged from the bottom of the sea." ”
"What's wrong with this?" Liang Wang spread his hands and asked with a frown: "Mr. Zheng may not know, in addition to the auction house, our group also has a marine salvage company that salvages antiques from sunken ships from the high seas, is there no problem?"
"That's fine. Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "But the problem is that although the antique was salvaged from the sea, it will not be an antique from a shipwreck on the seabed, but a ......."
Zheng Zheng squinted slightly, looked at Liang Wang, and said, "...... It is a funerary object. ”
Liang Wang's face suddenly stiffened, and his face became ugly. Zheng Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, looking at him with a smile, and the atmosphere in the office was quite delicate for a while.
"Mr. Zheng......"
Liang Wang took a deep breath, his face turned cold, and said, "Mr. Zheng, I don't know what you are here for, if you continue to say something that damages the reputation of our bank, then I have no choice but to ask you to leave." ”
Zheng Zheng laughed secretly in his heart, this young man's kung fu to cultivate his qi was really bad, and he directly showed his cowardice when he said this. His words were fierce, but it made Zheng Zheng's heart more stable.
Zheng Zheng smiled and said, "Why should Mr. Liang be angry? It's just an antique." I told Mr. Liang about this matter, and I didn't mean anything else, but for the sake of the relationship between you and me, I just reminded Mr. Liang, lest this antique be seen as the origin of the antique and damage the reputation of your bank. ”
Liang Wang shook his head and said coldly: "No, Mr. Zheng, I don't know anything about what you said. What you say is not the truth at all, and it is not anyone else who has damaged our reputation but you. Also, I don't know what you mean by the relationship between you and me, and I'm not interested in knowing. What I know is that it's time for you to leave. ”
Zheng Zheng spread his hands and nodded, "No problem, I can leave." It's just that I want to ask Mr. Liang, are you really not afraid that the porcelain vase, which is half immersed in seawater sand and gravel, and half exposed to the air, will be seen as flawed and spread this matter?"
Zheng Zheng's tone changed, stared at Liang Wang, and said, "If you don't care, I can leave right now." ”
Liang Wang stared at Zheng Zheng straight for a long time, without saying a word, and Zheng Zheng didn't speak, waiting for Liang Wang's answer. Under his implicit threatening words, what answer Liang Wang could make, Zheng Zheng basically knew in his heart, and now he was just waiting for Liang Wang to nod himself.
The two were at a stalemate for a while, Liang Wang sighed, stood up and walked to the door, opened the door, and hung the "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door. After closing the door, he locked the door from the inside.
After doing all this, Liang Wang walked back to the desk and sat down, looked at Zheng Zheng, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"I am a member of the Zheng family, one of the four masters of antiques......"
Zheng Zheng said a word, seeing that Liang Wang was a little unclear, he waved his hand and said, "You may not know these things, after all, this is before the Liang family moved to Australia...... You can ask the elders in your family who should know these things...... As for what I want to do...... For now, I just wanted to remind you that there is an antique item that is not suitable for the auction to be auctioned. ”
Liang Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know what you said about the four antiques...... You said you want to do this, but what do you want to do when you're done?"
Looking at Liang Wang's vigilant expression, Zheng Zheng knew where Liang Wang was going, shook his head and said, "I didn't mean to use this to blackmail or blackmail, please rest assured." As I said, it's just an antique, and there's no need to take it to a bigger level. The ocean was salvaged, and then by chance or not by accident a submarine tomb was discovered, and the excavation was carried out and the antiques were brought out...... Ha, this kind of thing is understandable. I remind you of this just to do you a favor, and by the way, to do myself a favor. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Zheng spread his hands, signaled the state of the two, and said, "I, I just want to meet with the people of the Liang family and talk about business." Remind you of the inappropriateness of that antique, it should be a greeting gift. ”
"Hmph......" Liang Wang snorted coldly, looked at Zheng Zheng coldly, and said: "There is no need for you to remind you of this matter, in fact, it is precisely because of your reminder that this matter is even more inappropriate." ”
Zheng Zheng smiled slightly and didn't speak.
The Liang family has been rooted in Australia for a long time, and all aspects must be quite in place, and they are already a big tree with thick branches and leaves. And the things of the submarine tomb appeared in the auction house under the name of the Liang family, even if a buyer saw it, it was actually harmless, after all, the Liang family's marine salvage company did this business, and there was not much difference between salvaging the sunken ship and salvaging the things in the submarine tomb. Everyone knows these things in their hearts, as long as no one picks this matter out, this is just a trivial matter.
But the appearance of Zheng Zheng made things different. He is not like other buyers, and there is a tacit understanding between him and the Liang family. Moreover, his repeated statement that "if this matter gets out" is an implicit threat, in Liang Wang's view, Zheng Zheng means that if his request is not met, he will poke this matter out. At that time, this kind of thing that was originally under the table was brought to the table, although the Liang family could also come forward to explain this matter, but after all, the excavation of ancient tombs is not good to say, and the impact on the reputation of the Liang family can be imagined.
How could Zheng Zheng not know this, and how could he not know that if he did this, even if he successfully connected with the Liang family, it would leave a bad impression on the Liang family? It's just that the situation forced Zheng Zheng to find the Zheng family's inheritance and return to China as soon as possible, so he can only take a faster way. And if you want to be fast, the loss of this impression score will become an inevitable price.
As for really threatening the Liang family with this? Zheng Zheng Ke had never thought of it that way. He pointed out this to Liang Wang, but it was just to catch up with the Liang family, and Zheng Zheng didn't have this stupid idea of blackmailing the Liang family to death. There is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, this is the territory of the Liang family, and Zheng Zheng is not so unclear about the weight.
And now that this line has finally been bridged, when Zheng Zheng and Liang Wang are talking, they have to change their ways. Speaking in that tone of implicit threat will not have any positive effect. This kind of trick is only suitable for opening up the situation, and now that the situation has been opened, it is natural to change the strategy.
After looking at Zheng Zheng fixedly for a while, Liang Wang asked, "Okay, Mr. Zheng, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about your real intention...... You said that you want to do business with the Liang family, so tell me what business you want to do. ”
As he spoke, Liang Wang's body leaned forward a little, and this action fell in Zheng Zheng's eyes, making Zheng Zheng smile secretly in his heart. This unconscious leaning forward means psychologically that the opponent has entered a defensive and offensive stance. Obviously, Liang Wang still regarded Zheng Zheng as a person who used these to blackmail the Liang family.
Zheng Zheng said with a smile: "The business is very simple, I just want to borrow something from the Liang family." ”
"Huh...... Borrow something?" Liang Wang sneered, and his eyes became even colder when he looked at Zheng Zheng.
Zheng Zheng waved his hand and smiled, and said, "Mr. Liang misunderstood...... I really want to do such a business with the Liang family, and we can negotiate the specific price. ”
Listening to what Zheng Zheng said was quite sincere, Liang Wang's mind was also lively, and he asked suspiciously: "Is it really business?...... Well, okay, tell me, what business do you want to do with the Liang family?"
Zheng Zheng nodded and said lightly: "I just want to rent the Liang family's family inheritance to find an antique." ”
