A group of old-timers, surrounded by paintings, their faces almost touching the glass.

After a while, Zheng Anzhi turned his head and asked Meng Zitao next to him, "When did you get this authentic painting of Li Gonglin?"

Xu Youhao laughed when he heard this: "It seems that Zitao's secrecy work is doing a good job, even you don't know." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Actually, this painting has not been in my hands for a few days, a few days ago, a friend told me that he has a customer in Yangcheng who has a lot of celebrity calligraphy and paintings to sell, including Lan Ying's "Four Seasons Landscape Map", so I immediately decided to go to Yangcheng with my friend......"

The next morning, he took time out of his busy schedule to go to a hotel in Yangcheng with the sixth child, and an hour later, the collector arrived, bringing an old wooden box with the seal of the "XX Custody Committee", which contained six scroll paintings.

When Meng Zitao saw the seal, his heart moved slightly, because the XX seal was pasted like this, which was regarded as a proof of preservation in a special period, and there were too many examples of buyers being deceived in the end, so when you see an antique with a seal, you must have a long eye to avoid being deceived.

The paintings in the wooden box are Lan Ying's "Four Seasons Landscape", Lang Shining's "Eight Horses", Bian Shoumin's "Qiupu Luyan", Wang Yuanqi's "Imitation of the Great Idiot Fuchun Mountain", Gong Xian's "Landscape Map" and Li Gonglin's "Summer Mountain High Hidden Picture" in front of everyone.

The collector saw that the buyer was Meng Zitao, and he was honest, saying that his paintings, except for Lan Ying's "Four Seasons Landscape" and Wang Yuanqi's "Imitation of the Great Idiot Fuchun Mountain", should be imitations, but although they are imitations, they are all very good, and they are also imitations of Chenggao in the late Qing Dynasty, and their value is not low. If Meng Zitao is willing to buy, he can give certain discounts.

Mencius was noncommittal about this, and took out the paintings one by one to appreciate them, only to find that except for Li Gonglin's "High Hidden Picture of Summer Mountain", all other works were problematic.

Mencius disagreed with the collector's point of view, ignoring the two authentic works identified by the collector, and after some bargaining, he bought the remaining four works for 300,000 yuan.

"300,000! Tsk, Zitao, I have nothing to say about your luck. Xu Youhao smiled and shook his head, and the others were also very envious of Meng Zitao's luck.

However, players in the antique industry believe in the word fate, when the opportunity comes, even if it is thousands of miles away, the baby will be sent to the front in person, if the opportunity does not arrive, even if it passes every day, it will turn a blind eye.

Therefore, although everyone will envy or even envy Mencius's treasures, most people will not have other ideas.

There was a surprise at the beginning, everyone's interest was very high, one by one the works looked at the past, everyone saw many famous works, and many of them were picked up by Meng Zitao, and the story of the leakage was also strange, everyone sighed, the world is full of wonders.

In the afternoon, Meng Zitao accompanied these old-timers to enjoy the exhibits and acted as a commentator, until the evening, everyone still looked unfinished and did not want to go back.

After all, it is an old man, and it is still necessary to consider everyone's body, Mencius Tao advised everyone to rest, anyway, the museum is open here, and it will not run with long legs, and if you want to come over to appreciate the collection, you can do it at any time.

Meng Zitao persuaded the old people to agree, and the group took the car to the hotel to have dinner and rest.

Compared with the old-timers who are not energetic, Shu Ze and a group of young people, although they have been visiting the museum for an afternoon, everyone's interest has not decreased much, and the banquet is quite lively.

"Our Master Meng is here, everyone is welcome!" Shu Ze took the lead in applauding.

"It's all friends, don't be so polite. ”

Meng Zitao waved his hand and raised his wine glass to toast everyone.

After drinking a glass of wine, Meng Zitao's face still did not change, his heart did not beat, Lang Suo smiled and said to the friend he brought: "How about it, I am right, Brother Meng is massive." ”

Lang Suo's friend is also a fat man, he watched Meng Zitao drink, and his eyes were straight: "So violent?

"You're not going to try. ”

Lang Suo smiled and beckoned Meng Zitao over: "Zitao, my friend wants to try the wine in the bottle." ”

Lang Suo's friend waved his hand again and again, and said embarrassedly: "Director Meng, I don't mean anything else, I just feel a little lonely." ”

"When you see more, you get used to it. Meng Zitao laughed, poured wine for him and Xun Suo, and drank it all after clinking glasses.

Seeing that Meng Zitao drank so easily, Lang Suo's friend also dried up, his face changed, and he immediately coughed.

"Little fat man, no, how can you take your father's class in the future. ”

"It should be no problem to take over, but I'm afraid that I won't even be able to climb into my wife's bed when I get home from work every day. ”

Seeing this situation, some of the surrounding guests made fun, and after a while, the little fat man's cheeks were red, and he didn't know if it was because he was told by everyone or because he drank wine.

The little fat man's name is Lu Huichen, and his family is in the wine business, and he is involved in white wine and red wine, unlike his father, who is massive in terms of alcohol, he can only drink two small glasses of liquor at most.

So now Lu Huichen is so dizzy that he can't hear what everyone is saying at all.

Meng ...... Brother Meng, and you...... Discuss something, okay?" Lu Huichen said with a big tongue.

"What's the matter?" Meng Zitao looked at his drunken appearance, and felt a little funny in his heart.

Lu Huichen said: "I ...... I want to buy your piece of blood jade. ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Brother Lu, the things in my hall are all only in and out. ”

"You...... You name it!" Lu Huichen stretched out his finger and gestured: "I...... I'll give 100 million!"

Lang Suo interrupted him: "Alright, you kid go back to sleep." ”

Lu Huichen pulled his throat and said, "Brother Lang, you ...... Don't you look down on me! Can't I take out 100 million?"

Lang Suo laughed and said: "Yo, after drinking some wine, I have grown a lot stronger, okay, you can take out 100 million, but do you think Zitao will care about you 100 million?"

"100 million is not good...... Then I'll ......" Lu Huichen's voice suddenly weakened, and then he slouched under the table.

Meng Zitao grabbed him and called the waiter to send him to the room to rest, and everyone else laughed.

"This kid is really good. ”

Lang Suo shook his head and smiled, then picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine for Meng Zitao and himself, and said solemnly: "Zitao, I haven't had the opportunity to thank you in person, I did it, you are free!"

With that, he took his glass and drank it all. He has always been grateful to Meng Zitao for helping him sweep away a bomb around him, if it weren't for Meng Zitao's investigation that Lang Ziqing was the culprit who designed him to lose hundreds of millions of assets, he would not have doubted that he would be in Lang Ziqing's hands until he died.

Whenever he thinks about this, he has palpitations, and this incident has taught him a profound lesson, don't despise everyone, because you don't know if he is a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to bite you.

Meng Zitao drank wine and said with a smile: "They are all friends, don't be so polite, besides, this matter is also just in time." ”

Lang Suo shook his head: "For me, the meaning is different, thank you for your kindness, if you can help in the future, you can find me." ”

"Definitely. ”

Meng Zitao chatted with Lang Suo for a few words, and then went to other tables to toast, and after a round of toasting, everyone ate about the same.

Meng Zitao took the microphone and walked up to the rostrum, first said a polite word, and then said: "If you read the invitation we sent out in advance, you will see the museum's website on it, and there is an exchange section in it, and members must participate in the exchange. ”

"Maybe some friends already know how to join the membership, I don't know if I will say it here again, the members of the website take the invitation system, the invitation code is the number on the invitation, if there is no invitation, you don't have to worry, you can get it at the door for a while, but each person can only get one number, and you must leave real information. ”

The purpose of the website is mainly used for everyone's exchange of collections, and there is also an intermediary section, for example, A takes a fancy to B's collection, but the two are not familiar with it, A and B can invite C to act as an intermediary between the two parties, and if the transaction is successful, C can get a certain amount of membership points. ”

Someone raised his hand and asked, "Director Meng, what is the use of this membership point?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "The use of membership points is still being perfected for the time being, but it has been determined that it can be used to deduct the expenses of Jiahui Auction in proportion, and this benefit is proposed by Mr. Zhang of Jiahui Auction." ”

Zhang Jingqiang stood up, signaled to the applauding guests, and then said: "Thank you Director Meng for giving us the opportunity to display Jiahui auction, and then our company will open a branch in Beijing, Yangcheng, Xijing and Shudu. ”

"However, there is one thing I want to explain in advance, we can provide intermediary services on the website, and there is no fee, but it is one level lower than participating in the auction, that is, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems with the traded goods, but if there is a problem, we will also take the corresponding responsibility, after all, the network is virtual, please understand. ”

Everyone understands this, after all, online transactions are different from reality, and even if someone can provide intermediary services, it is only relatively safer.

Of course, because Meng Zitao is strict in terms of website membership, it is not easy to join the club, and if there is a problem, it is easier to solve, unless the other party does not want to be mixed up in the antique industry, otherwise it will definitely be reasonable. Therefore, the intermediary services provided by the website are still warmly welcomed by everyone.
