Chapter 70: Why spend a lot of money on fakes

"Otherwise, why do you think I dare to come and negotiate with you directly. Speaking of this, Zhang Zhigang snorted heavily: "You killed Liu Zhengmin, but it ruined my big matter, it's good that I didn't settle accounts with you." You bought this painting to compensate me, and since then we have cleared up, do you hear?"

"You're trying to blackmail me, aren't you?"

"I know you're not a layman, you can spend so much money on FabergΓ© eggs, and you must be someone who knows how to appreciate them. Zhang Zhigang softened his tone: "After this incident, we can be regarded as acquaintances, I have a lot of good things on hand, you can come and take a look when you have time, and I promise to sell it to you at a friend's price." Moreover, we can also cooperate in some business and make a fortune together, anyway, Liu Zhengmin is hanging, and I have to find a new partner to work with. ”

Ren Xia couldn't figure out what the other party's true purpose was, so he said: "Let me think about it." ”

"You can't think about it. Zhang Zhigang said in an unquestionable tone: "At nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, there will be a Chinese painting auction at Zhigang Art Auction House. If someone offers a higher price, it will be cheaper for you, and you can save 10 million, and this painting will be given to the person who bids higher. But I don't think it's possible, because you're not right at all, this painting is fake, and it's very fake. ”

Ren Xia looked at Zhang Zhigang and didn't speak.

"If you don't bring 10 million...... Zhang Zhigang said in a threatening tone: "Let's see you in the bureau." ”

Just as the waiter brought Ren Xia's steak, Zhang Zhigang didn't say anything more, got up and left.

Ren Xia looked at Zhang Zhigang's back, took out his mobile phone and called Fang Zuiyun: "Do you know Zhang Zhigang?"

"This name is too common, you are talking about it, the owner of Zhigang Art Auction House, right?"

"Exactly. ”

"Acquaintance, general acquaintance, not very familiar. Fang Zuiyun was very curious: "Why did this person provoke you?"

Ren Xia didn't answer and asked, "Do you know this person?"

"We can be regarded as a circle, but it's different, I'm doing business seriously, as for him......" Fang Zuiyun smiled meaningfully: "Some businesses are not so serious!"

"What's not in business?"

Fang Zuiyun didn't answer: "Why did you ask about this person first?"

"I don't know how he found me just now and asked me to spend 10 million to buy a ......painting of Pu Xinji that he has in hand," Ren Xia said, shaking his head: "But this painting is too fake, you don't need to look at the real thing, you can see the problem through the photos on your mobile phone." ”

"It's normal. Fang Zuiyun said as a matter of course: "Zhigang Art Auction House is only a small business, its strength is very limited, and its business categories are also very miscellaneous, from Chinese painting to Western painting, from porcelain to miscellaneous. If there are masterpieces in such places, they are mostly fakes. You can also think with your toes that if you have a famous painting, it must be entrusted to a big auction house like Christie's, can you rest assured that a small auction house will be assured?"

"Of course not. ”

"So they're not making money from the art itself. ”

"So what do you make money from?"

Fang Zuiyun still didn't answer directly, but asked another question, "You pointed out to your face that the painting was a fake, what did Zhang Zhigang say at that time?"

He admitted that it was a fake. Ren Xia told Fang Zuiyun: "He said that this painting was left for Liu Zhengmin, and since Liu Zhengmin has already hung it, let me spend money to buy it." I'm weird, Liu Zhengmin is not stupid, why spend 10 million to buy a fake painting?"

Fang Zuiyun said thoughtfully: "It turns out that Zhang Zhigang knows Liu Zhengmin. ”

"Although I do know a thing about art, and I usually pay for what I see, this is the first time I've encountered such a thing. ”

"It's the first time you've encountered it, but this kind of thing is actually very common......" Fang Zuiyun smiled mysteriously: "The water behind the art transaction is deep!"

"Do you know what's going on?"

"As soon as you mentioned this, I guessed it......" After a pause, Fang Zuiyun proposed: "It's inconvenient to say on the phone, let's meet and talk." ”

"Where are you?"

"Half an hour home. Fang Zuiyun replied: "You know the address." ”

Ren Xia hurriedly ate steak, and then drove to Fang Zuiyun's house, although Liu Zhengmin's matter was solved, Ren Xia was still using Fang Zuiyun's off-road vehicle.

Fang Zuiyun was in the living room, sitting on the beauty couch, playing with his mobile phone in one hand, and constantly rubbing his ankles with the other.

Ren Xia sat down opposite and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I accidentally broke my foot just now...... "Fang Zuiyun is wearing a pink dress today, with a high slit on the side, and you can see the side of the thigh. The legs are thick black stockings, and although you can't see the skin, they perfectly outline the curves of the beautiful legs.

"Can you answer me now?" Ren Xia was very strange: "Why would Liu Zhengmin spend so much money on a fake painting?"

Fang Zuiyun smiled lightly: "If you want to know the answer, there is a condition." ”

"What?"

"Provide a little service...... Fang Zuiyun put down his phone and pouted at his feet: "My wrists are a little sore, you can help me rub them!"

Ren Xia couldn't ask for it, so he immediately sat down next to Fang Zuiyun and held Fang Zuiyun's ankles with both hands.

In the next second, a huge sense of power poured into Ren Xia's body from Fang Zuiyun's ankle.

Ren Xia slowly rubbed Fang Zuiyun's ankles, fully feeling the feeling of being nourished by vitality: "Can you say it?"

"Your expression is so obscene. Fang Zuiyun looked at Ren Xia very strangely: "Let you give me a foot massage, it should be that I enjoy it, but look at your expression as if you are enjoying it very much." ”

Of course, Ren Xia enjoyed it very much, and accidentally revealed it, and hurriedly straightened his face when he heard this: "I feel very honored to be able to give you a pedicure." ”

"Yes. Fang Zuiyun pursed his lips: "It's true, if I want, I don't know how many men are willing to kneel down and give it to me*." ”

Ren Xia couldn't help but hold Fang Zuiyun's ankle tighter: "Let's get down to business...... Zhang Zhigang claimed to have the evidence, and it was I who murdered Liu Zhengmin. If I don't spend 10 million, he will submit the evidence to the police. ”

"Does he really have evidence?" Fang Zuiyun smiled and shook his head: "I don't know what happened at Liu Zhengmin's house that day, but I have enough confidence in you, the police have not investigated the results, and Zhang Zhigang is even more impossible." This is just a deception to you, making you honestly pay for it, in fact, this is understandable, after all, you kicked other people's business, of course they want to find you to come up. ”

"What business did I kick?"

"Zhang Zhigang originally studied art, as if his major was to study Western oil painting, and he didn't make any achievements after painting for a few years. After all, the competition in this industry is too fierce, so many students graduate from art majors in major colleges and universities every year, and if you want to become a famous painter, you need the right time, place and indispensable, but Zhang Zhigang's level is very average......" After a pause, Fang Zuiyun said again: "Later, Zhang Zhigang met a few big brothers in society, and it seems that he suddenly became enlightened, no longer painting by himself, but selling other people's paintings, and opened such an art auction house. On the surface, it is an auction of art, but in fact it is secretly laundering money for others......"
