Zhang Ruiming was in a tidal mood, but his face was cautious, as if he was thrown by the terrifying waves on a shocked wave, in front of him was a grand and terrible storm, and the bottom of the water was a more dangerous reef tide, no matter how it seemed to be difficult to get out, no matter how to choose seemed to fall into the trap of others, Zhang Ruiming endured his emotions, sorted out his thoughts, and tried to find a way out in the current turbulence.

"By the way, Mr. Wu has said so much to me, and Mr. Wu has a heart. ”

"Where, it's just a comrade-in-arms from the same position, and I happened to meet again today, so I should have had a good exchange with you. ”

Zhang Ruiming changed his words and asked directly: "I don't know what Mr. Wu wants me to do after seeing through all this?"

Wu Kaiming's expression was cold, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "Today's bureau is far beyond what you and I imagined, and I don't want you to do anything if I break this bureau, besides, what can you do as a small prosecutor of the Civil Banking Section? Report and prosecute? Do you think you can handle these bigwigs who can operate billions of funds? What can we little people do when they come forward? Won't they be crushed to death with one finger? To deal with them, you and I can only use Wang Baoyi's energy and prestige, we just stand behind the famous national host and give him resources and advice within our professional scope. ”

Zhang Ruiming nodded, "Indeed, our energy is too limited, and being strong is just being sacrificed fearlessly......"

"Yes, I said this, I hope you can be a little prepared, wait for the auction house to officially proceed, pay attention to protect yourself, don't rush into the trick, you should understand what I mean......"

When he said this, Wu Kaiming's eyes fell on Zhang Ruiming's father, Zhang Qingcang, who was busy registering the auction property rights. Zhang Ruiming followed his gaze and immediately understood his hard work today. He couldn't help but be slightly moved in his heart, he thought that after the case of Jingang No. 4 Middle School last time, he and Wu Kaiming were already incompatible, and they couldn't get along with each other, but he didn't expect that today, his first master, still gave himself an important reminder on this occasion.

"Okay, I understand, thank you for Mr. Wu's reminder, the auction is about to start, and I will go over first, today's kindness...... I got it. ”

The two smiled, Zhang Ruiming got up and walked to Zhang Qingcang's side, whispered to his father, and the two returned to their seats after completing the registration of the auction property rights.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the Carlsberg Charzhen art auction officially began!

The specifications of this auction are quite high, Zhang Ruiming listened to a gentleman at the next table, this auction is the highest grade exhibition in Tianjin and Hong Kong in recent years, this high standard is not only high in this magnificent super five-star hotel, nor is it the domestic well-known cross talk superstar who is the host of today's series on the stage, not to mention the Carlsberg auction house several world-class auctioneers, this high specification is mainly high in the grade of this lot, Zhang Ruiming opened this exquisite exhibition book like a work of art, the first page on it was sold for more than 1 billion yuan a few years ago"Twelve Banners of Landscape"!

Zhang Ruiming's heart jumped, could it be that it was such a hard dish as soon as it came up today!?

Although Zhang Ruiming doesn't know much about the auctioneer's rules, he guesses that it should be the first blockbuster, taking out a high-grade lot to press the array, and then an ordinary lot, interspersed with a few small climaxes, and at the end, a final treasure that shocks the audience is displayed.

And this authentic work of Qi Baishi, which has just set the highest record in China not long ago, is not enough for the finale today!? Zhang Ruiming's heart flickered, and then only listened to the introduction of the auctioneer, several beautiful emcees wearing blue and white porcelain cheongsams entered the venue, and after bowing to all the guests, he pushed this huge transparent display cabinet with layers of protection, and slowly pushed the "Twelve Banners of Landscape" that had been placed in the center into the field along the special slide.

Today we are fortunate to be able to witness the most important works of Mr. Qi Baishi during his lifetime! The twelve screens of this landscape are: "The People on the River", "The Twin Shadows of Shiyan", "The Lonely Sail of Banqiao", "The Cypress Forest", "The Afterglow of the Far Shore", "The White House of the Pine Tree", "The Apricot Blossom Cottage", "The Shadow of the Smoke and the Sail", "The Pine Tower", "The Spring Rain in the Mountains", "The Lotus Fragrance of the Bantang", ......"

Listening to the host's introduction in a frustrated manner, the eyes of the audience were focused on this unparalleled treasure in the world, at the moment when the eyes of the audience converged on the treasure, Zhang Ruiming's eyes were separated from each other, he was looking for Fang Xiaoruan's figure, in the previous Wu Kaiming's statement, this "Twelve Banners of Landscape" is really carrying too many secrets, although it is auctioned today, but after these tricks, it must be Fang Xiaoruan's bag!

In the twelve banners, we can see the peach source painting scene in Mr. Qi Baishi's heart - the long day sunshine, the pleasant scenery of the landscape, the mountain shadow duckweed, the small bridge and flowing water, which is also the "Taoist ritual instrument" that our Chinese scholars have kept for generations and has survived the national spirit of 5,000 years. Since the painting carries the feelings of the literati of the past dynasties, the "Tao" has been sanctified, and the "law" and "instrument" are also unique. You see, this painting method is based on the brushwork of Shi Tao and Xu Wei, writing about the real mountains and rivers of Hunan hometown and Guilin, and his heart is completely immersed in the beautiful oriental home, which resonates with the hearts of those of us viewers......"

The auctioneer said that the sky was falling, but Zhang Ruiming was not interested in listening at all, his eyes were staring at Fang Xiaoruan, who was sitting in the first row of the banquet hall, from his point of view, he could only see Fang Xiaoruan's oblique back, but it was enough, Zhang Ruiming's eyes were locked, staring straight, unwavering, he wanted to keep everything he saw next in mind, and harvest the people's wealth. He kept in mind his every move of treating the people as bastards who were dogs, and although he couldn't do anything now, he had a belief.

Remember! Remember is everything!

"Well, we all know that in 16 years, it was also our Carlsberg in the autumn auction in cooperation with Zhongyou Group, for the two world-renowned collectors of Zhongyou Brothers Film and Television Group, Zhou Jun and Zhou Lei, took this world-renowned piece, and today, our Carlsberg was entrusted by Chairman Zhou Lei to re-push this masterpiece to the booth, all the VIPs in the audience! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Chairman Zhou Lei to give the world an opportunity! If you want to own this heirloom treasure, the next ten minutes will be the key moment to decide the fate of the "Twelve Banners of Landscape"! Distinguished guests! Exhibit No. 001! Title: "Twelve Banners of Landscape", Artist: Qi Baishi! The starting price is 935 million yuan! Every 10 million yuan is added! Now, everyone, ......

"Let's shoot!"

At the moment when the auction gavel was struck, Zhang Ruiming suddenly had the illusion of sitting in the courtroom and facing the sound of the gavel. But with the sound of the gavel, what is shown at this time is not the dignity of the law and the fair judgment. As a series of shocking numbers burst out, in this scene, it shows the greed of human beings and the omnipresent injustice in the world.

"946 million!"

"956 million!"

"970 million!"

"989 million!"

After a starting price, the sound and rhythm of shouting and beating slowed down, Zhang Ruiming was still waiting for Fang Xiaoruan's movements and voice, but he didn't expect that a voice suddenly came over in the last row.

"1.055 billion!"

"What?" "Add so much?" "That's 60 million in this time!"

In the shock of everyone, many people looked back at the mysterious visitor who sat in the last row, and did not increase the price according to the rules. Zhang Ruiming because Zhang Qingcang is an exhibitor, the two of them sat in the middle position, if you really consider the Zhang family's capital of tens of millions, it is likely that they can only be arranged to the last row like this stranger who suddenly shouted the price.

In the surprised eyes of many people, I saw that the last row of shouters was a middle-aged man who looked quite elegant. Many Tianjin and Hong Kong locals recognized his identity and blurted out his debut.

"Director Wu of the Taisho Office?" "He's so rich!?"

Zhang Ruiming was the most surprised one, he didn't expect that it was Wu Kaiming who pushed the "Twenty Strips of Landscape" to a high level of more than one billion, what was he thinking? Could it be that he wanted to deliberately shout a high price, forcing Fang Xiaoruan to get off the stage? Forcing Fang Xiaoruan to spend more money to photograph this exhibit?

At this time, the auctioneer shouted to Wu Kaiming in the last row: "Please Mr. Wu, confirm your bidding price." ”

"1.055 billion!"

Wu Kaiming repeated the heart-wrenching figure again, and at the same time repeated the shocked hustle and bustle at the scene.

"Okay, now Mr. Wu, who is participating in the auction with his real name, is holding up a card of 1.055 billion yuan! Is there a higher ?...... Okay, 1.055 billion one-time ......"

Zhang Ruiming experienced this kind of occasion for the first time, he didn't expect this feeling of spending money to be so exciting! Although it obviously had nothing to do with him, he could also feel the adrenaline injected into the blood, with the surging blood flow, leading the vibration sensation that hit the heart, his palms were sweating, and the green tendons on his forehead were bulging.

You must know that this is not a place to shout casually, once you can't take it out after the auction, or you are unwilling to come up with the bidding price, on the one hand, your reputation will be ruined, and on the other hand, you will have to bear 12% of the liquidated damages of the lot!

That is to say, if Wu Kaiming can't get the more than 1 billion after shouting, he will have to pay 100 million!

Zhang Ruiming knows that his master's catties and pounds, although he is already the most successful lawyer in Tianjin and Hong Kong, his entire net worth has only just exceeded 100 million, right? At this time, the liquidated damages are 100 million, and this old fox who has been scheming and calculating, what kind of medicine is he selling at this time. Zhang Ruiming was so nervous for him that he couldn't breathe.

"1.055 billion twice!"

As the auctioneer shouted for the second time, Zhang Ruiming's heart rose to his throat, and the auctioneer was about to shout the third time.

In the first seat in the front row, a hand suddenly raised.

"We are the guide, shouting 1.1 billion. ”

The pupils of Zhang Ruiming's eyes suddenly contracted, and sure enough, Fang Xiaoruan made a move!

At the moment when the auction price reached the sky-high price of 1.1 billion, the audience was amazed again, and the protagonist of this shouting auction, the famous director Fang Xiaoruan, looked calm, Zhang Ruiming saw that his back didn't move, and even asked the assistant to raise his hand to shout, as if the 1.1 billion was just a trivial matter for him!

Fang Xiaoruan's demeanor attracted warm applause from the audience, in the eyes of everyone, this well-known director is really mysterious and worth an amazing amount, and he can take out more than 100 million yuan casually.

But Zhang Ruiming, who had already learned about Fang Xiaoruan's bottom line from Wu Kaiming, couldn't have a trace of admiration for him in his heart, he just hated and thought: What are you pretending to be!? This TM is not your money, these 1100 million are laundered black money! If you pledge this painting to the bank at that time, you can set out 700 million or 800 million, and when you run away, is this painting really worth so much money?

Zhang Ruiming thought about it again, today this Fang Xiaoruan deliberately hyped up this "Twelve Banners of Landscape", I don't know if he also heard any rumors? Maybe he was also scared by Wang Baoyi's fierce pursuit during this period of time, so he hurriedly found an opportunity to launder some black money, and then circled this large amount of wealth, and made plans at any time, ready to run away?

But no matter what the truth is, in the eyes of these people at the scene, this is simply a man's ultimate dream, and with a wave of his hand, the wealth of the city is changing, and every move shocks the world.

"Okay, now Mr. Fang is shouting 1.1 billion, is there anything higher?......"

"I'll give 1.15 billion!"

The sigh of shock hit like a tsunami, and today it is a wave of unsettled waves, but I didn't expect it to reach a high of 1.1 billion, and there are still people who increase the price! Now this exhibit will undoubtedly set a national auction record, and if the handling fee is added, the price will exceed 1.3 billion! Oh my God, if it is placed in the international auction world, Picasso's original painting will be at this price.

The domestic auction market is so crazy!?

Everyone looked at this voice, only to see that Wu Kaiming, who was sitting in the last row, shouted and clapped his hand, it was this lawyer who was not famous before he shouted the high position of 1 billion, and now he directly added it to 1.15 billion? This can be calculated in units of 100 million!

"This ...... Is it your former master?"

Seeing that his father had asked out loud, Zhang Ruiming nodded silently.

"Hmm...... Are lawyers so profitable? ......" After Zhang Qingcang was shocked by Wu Kaiming's wealth at this time, he turned to Zhang Ruiming with an inquiring gaze, the meaning was obvious, and he hoped that his son would think about it and choose a way out in the future.

Your former master is already so powerful, what have you been doing all these years?

And Zhang Ruiming was not in the mood to deal with his father's thoughts at this time, after Wu Kaiming shouted again, he calmed down, and he was not surprised at all, since Wu Kaiming already knew about Fang Xiaoruan and Zhongyou Brothers' series of behind-the-scenes hype artworks in order to achieve their purpose of collecting money and laundering money, then why did he get involved? Knowing that his funds could not reach the ability to collect the auction at all, and knowing that these people just wanted to be as high as possible, so why did he want to speculate the price for them so much?

Unless, Wu Kaiming was originally one of the speculators!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruiming's heart was clear, so everything was connected, no wonder Wu Kaiming told himself when they met before that he was "entrusted by a friend", and this friend was obviously one of the Zhongyou brothers and Fang Xiaoruan. That's why he is so familiar with this routine, he persuaded himself not to get involved in it, probably because he knew that he couldn't set off any waves, and the reminder was just a demonstration? Or did he completely ignore it? Then why did Wu Kaiming say that he was on the side of Wang Baoyi?

Facing this elegant old man who he has known for decades, Zhang Ruiming seems to have seen him for the first time in the classroom of Western University Law School, Zhang Ruiming still can't see through this old man, although he has fought and had too many years in common, but Wu Kaiming is really an immeasurable person, as if the more he has been in contact with him for a longer time and the deeper the contact, the more he has realized the unfathomable nature of this person.

"Okay, Lawyer Wu bid 1.15 billion yuan, is there a higher bid?"

As if being provoked, this time Fang Xiaoruan didn't wait long before he personally raised his right hand to shout and clap.

"I'll give 1.2 billion!"

"Wow!!" "Today's opening will make history!!" In the emotion of countless people, Fang Xiaoruan's body finally moved, he stood up and looked in the direction of Wu Kaiming, and the two eyes met in mid-air.

Zhang Ruiming was far away and couldn't see the expressions of the two clearly, but he also guessed what these two people were transmitting!

Sure enough, after Fang Xiaoruan sat down, Wu Kaiming also quieted down.

"1.2 billion! One ......"

"1.2 billion! twice ......"

"1.2 billion! three times! Congratulations to my famous director, Mr. Fang Xiaoruan!"

In the thunderous applause of the audience, Fang Xiaoruan once again set a new record in the Chinese art auction market with a lot price of 1.2 billion yuan and a final price of 1.35 billion yuan, and this is still the same work.

In the envious eyes of the audience, Fang Xiaoruan walked to the auction table in a dashing manner, and signed his name on the auction book. He would not have imagined that at this moment, there was a passionate prosecutor sitting in the audience, his eyes like torches, staring at him with the eyes of the enemy.

Zhang Ruiming thought hatefully in his heart.

"Damn, these scum really regard this "Twelve Banners of Landscape" as a Hercules cup, let you go there in the past few years, let me here in a few years, take it once in a few years, and use it as soon as the money is laundered! This is to treat the conscientious and hard-working people of the whole country as monkeys!"

However, there was nothing he could do now, and his bare heart was useless in the face of unparalleled wealth and resources.

Only wait.

Wait for Wang Baoyi to open the situation!
