Meng Zitao carefully looked at the guests in the room, the shopkeeper Xia had already arrived, and he didn't seem nervous because of the reminder in advance.

In addition, sitting not far from the shopkeeper Xia was Meng Zitao's colleague, because considering that this exchange meeting did not look very normal, the department also arranged for someone to come over to investigate, also to ensure Meng Zitao's safety.

Except for Shopkeeper Xia and colleagues in the department, everyone else should be cultural relics dealers, and many people don't have a good impression of Meng Zitao, and it is estimated that he is not doing legitimate business.

Then, Meng Zitao looked at the surrounding environment, the furnishings here are very magnificent, opposite everyone, is a long table made of huanghuali, the color of the table is like amber, the pulp is crystal shiny, scattered "grimace" spots. The hexagonal flakes are joined to each other, and the seamless group forms the main frame of Huanghuali, and the middle is inlaid with boxwood table decoration. The workmanship is simple and exquisite.

On the left side of the long table, there are two exquisitely crafted Taishi chairs, and a small coffee table is added, which is a very standard living room layout. If it is placed in ancient times, it is not a dignitary, and it cannot have such a grandeur.

A moment later, Pan Yihui reminded Meng Zitao that the exchange meeting was about to begin.

Immediately afterwards, Mencius Tao saw several men who were five big and three thick, putting the things they were holding on the table, and moving about fifty or sixty pieces one by one, some of which were relatively large on the ground next to the table.

Pan Yihui said to Meng Zitao: "Mr. Shi, in the next half hour, everyone can appreciate these things casually. ”

"Let's go. ”

Meng Zitao got up and came to the long table, and the others also came over, and everyone picked up their favorite utensils and looked at them.

Meng Zitao did not act rashly, he first looked at the utensils on the table, and it can be seen that a considerable part of them are newly unearthed cultural relics. However, it is obvious that the owner has no experience in preserving the unearthed cultural relics, and some artifacts have been permanently damaged because of the wrong preservation environment.

Meng Zitao sighed secretly, picked up an ear cup and looked at it.

The ear cups are oval in shape, with curved ears on each side. Most of them are painted for wooden tires, and there are also gilded copper ornaments on the ears or all copper.

The ear cup in the hand of Meng Zitao is a silver gilt ear cup, the wall of the cup is engraved with figures, pines and cypresses, and Rui beasts, one side is a fairy figure, the fairy robe is fluttering, one side is the march forward, high-spirited and mighty, and the bottom of the cup is the Hu people dance music, one person dances in the center, six musicians sit around, and musical instruments such as qin, sheng, flute and other musical instruments can be seen in it. The seven were dressed in bearded clothes, wrapped in turbans, and three wore beards, happy and happy. The mouth of the ear cup is decorated with a curly grass pattern for a week, and the whole body is covered with caviar ground. The back of the ear cup is also decorated with a curly grass pattern, and the spirit animals are running and playing.

The unearthed traces of this ear cup are obvious, and the gilt has fallen off in many places, but it can still be seen that it is exquisitely made. Judging from the characteristics of the ornamentation, this ear cup should be a product of the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

Next, Meng Zitao looked at a few more things, all of which were products of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and it was no surprise that someone should have dug up an ancient tomb in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

Other people at the scene also went out, these people are antique veterans, everyone aimed at the target they were staring at, carefully observed, in the process, most of the people's expressions were very calm, trying to judge the authenticity of the item from their expressions, it was obviously impossible.

There was only one fat man, who didn't seem to be a veteran, and he looked at this, touched that, saw a mask, and tried to put it on, and laughed twice from time to time, like a fool.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

After about half an hour, an old man walked in.

When Meng Zitao saw this person, he was very surprised, because this old man was the Steward Zhang he saw in Zhu Zhongshi.

"Hello Heye. Many people at the scene respectfully greeted the old man.

"Pretend to be a ghost!" Meng Zitao sneered secretly, it seems that this Steward Zhang is He Yanjun introduced by Pan Yihui before.

"You're welcome. He Yanjun smiled and waved his hand to everyone, and his tone was extremely easy-going.

He Yanjun walked to a Taishi chair and sat down, and immediately someone served him a cup of tea, he took a sip of the teacup, and then said with a smile: "Since I entered the industry, thanks to your love, I have broken through this foundation, and I have collected some antiquities during this time, so I naturally want to share them with you." ”

"He Ye is polite. ”

"Okay, without further ado, let's get started. ”

He Yanjun looked at the fat man: "Fat Chen, you came all the way from the Northeast to choose a birthday gift for Chen Lao, you can pick one first." ”

"Thank you, Master He!" the fat man arched his hand excitedly at He Yan, and then picked out a bronze mirror of the Rui Beast from a pile of things.

This bronze mirror has a unique ornamental shape, outstanding relief technology, exquisite and meticulous painting style, lifelike and agile charm, and huge size, which belongs to the ultimate product in the Tang mirror.

In addition to the bronze mirror, the fat man also picked out several other things, and they were all boutiques. Meng Zitao didn't expect that this fat man was rough and rough, and his vision was quite good.

The fat man smiled and said, "That's it." ”

The smile on He Yanjun's face faded: "You fat man likes to sell cheaply, these few pieces you take are all high-quality products, but since I said let you choose first, then make a price, as long as everyone is convinced, I will have no two prices, and I can make a deal immediately." ”

At first, the fat man felt that he had taken advantage of it, and he grinned widely, but the words that followed made him fall from the clouds, and he scolded in his heart: "Old fox, it's really not easy to take advantage of you." ”

"I'll pay two million for these things!" Since the one with the highest price gets it, the fat man can only bid.

As soon as the words fell, someone next to him said: "Fat Chen, your business has been smooth sailing all these years, and you only paid two million? The price of that bronze mirror is more than two million, and you can't do this if you want to take advantage of He Ye, I will pay three million!"

The fat man looked at the man who spoke, and was very upset, but he continued to bid.

The people around watched the two of them bid, just like sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger fight, and no one intervened.

In the end, the few utensils selected by the fat man were still taken down by him, but the price was not low, more than double the price he gave at the beginning.

Of course, this price is actually not high, if the fat man picks a few utensils, if they are sold in the regular market, the price can be higher by one-third.

After the deal, the big man standing next to He Yanjun walked up to the fat man with a notebook.

After listening to Pan Yihui's introduction, Meng Zitao learned that the notebook is used for online banking transactions, transferring money to the designated account and transferring it quickly, so that it is not easy to be traced.

The next process, just like an ordinary auction, basically everyone has a favorite item, and everyone is happy.

It's just that to Mencius's disappointment, not only did he not see the osmanthus cup, but he didn't even see a flower god cup.

Everything was sold, and He Yanjun got up to say goodbye. Meng Zitao's heart was full of question marks, and the exchange meeting ended like this?

Because it was not the time to ask, Meng Zitao could only keep this question in his heart, and it was not until he walked out of the courtyard and got into the car that picked him up that he was ready to ask Pan Yihui this question.

It's just that before Meng Zitao could speak, he heard the driver say with a smile: "Congratulations to the two of you, if there is no problem, I will take you to dinner first." ”

"No problem, trouble master. Pan Yihui said first.

In an instant, Meng Zitao understood that it was just an appetizer just now, and the next thing was the main event.

I heard Pan Yihui whisper excitedly: "Mr. Shi, we are very lucky to be able to participate in the real internal exchange meeting today, and the items there can be regarded as real treasures......

Just like Meng Zitao guessed, the auction just now was only used by He Yanjun to select the list, but how to choose, everyone didn't know, some people originally thought that it was determined by the amount of capital in their hands, but once a small boss with a net worth of only a few million also got an invitation, and this speculation was broken.

As for what items were in the real exchange meeting, Pan Yihui said that he didn't know, because there were rules that all the participants could not tell others about the exchange meeting, otherwise they would be severely punished. It is said that a man mentioned it to his friend, and the next day he had an accident and became a vegetative person. His friends were also reticent.

However, there are many benefits for the participants, at least most of them have achieved good development, the small boss with a net worth of millions, but in just one year, his net worth has made a qualitative leap and he has been promoted to a multimillionaire.

Pan Yihui excitedly explained to Meng Zitao, and thanked Meng Zitao for his luck, as if a happy life had beckoned to him.

However, Mencius did not see it that way, and a very simple reason was that He Yanjun was a great philanthropist, otherwise why would he share the opportunity to make money with others? This is not at all in line with common sense.

He thought about it and felt that the people who were more likely to participate were controlled by He Yanjun and his gang, let them do things, and at the same time give some capital rewards. With Zhu Zhongshi's ability, it is too easy to turn a millionaire into a multi-millionaire.

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Even if there is danger, Meng Zitao is definitely going to go, he wants to see what the "Steward Zhang" is doing.

After lunch, the driver drove off with the two of them, and after another hour or two, the car stopped.

When I got out of the car, the first thing that caught my eye was the lake and mountains, and the beautiful scenery made Meng Zitao feel relaxed and happy.

Such a beautiful place, but the surroundings are very desolate, there is only an old house not far away that looks like it has been some age, at this moment there are a few cars parked in front of the old house, someone should have arrived first. What made Meng Zitao feel strange was that when he was eating just now, he didn't meet anyone who had participated in the exchange meeting before.

Then, the driver told them that this was their destination and led them to the house.
