Chapter 798: News of the Auction
Lu Qingpeng looked at Xue Wenguang, who was speechless, and then said: "Well, Mr. Guan also said before, it is normal for antiques to be eye-catching, and there should be only one problem with one of these six pieces of porcelain, right?"
Hearing the word "teacher", Xue Wenguang's shy old face couldn't help but blush slightly, and the whole person was very embarrassed, but what else could he say at this time, he could only admit it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Haha, it seems that I did take it wrong, I don't know which porcelain shopkeeper Meng still thinks has a problem?"
"The rest, I'll talk about it later, Lu Lao, what do you think?"
Meng Zitao didn't expect Xue Wenguang to immigrate to Xiangjiang, his temper actually changed, if it was before, he encountered this situation, it is estimated that he would have been annoyed and angry and left immediately, but he didn't expect that now he can still behave as if nothing happened, the change is big enough, it is estimated that after his store was smashed, there is a shadow of the rich in his heart.
It's just that as the old saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark, Meng Zitao thinks that Xue Wenguang is undoubtedly more dangerous than before, and it seems that he must find an opportunity to nip the danger in the bud.
"Take a look. Lu Qingpeng replied.
Meng Zitao identified other porcelains one by one and found no problems.
Xue Wenguang smiled and said, "Old Lu, I don't know if you like these porcelains?"
"It's really good, you can stay, the price is ......"
"As much as I brought, you can give as much as you want. ”
"It's not good. ”
"What's wrong with this, speaking of which, I'm still embarrassed, my eyesight is not good, I took a problematic porcelain, if it wasn't for the shopkeeper Meng, I would have lost my face. ”
"Say it as if you're not ashamed now. Meng Zitao smiled in his heart, strange that now Xue Wenguang was thick-skinned and even more vigilant.
Originally, Meng Zitao thought that Lu Qingpeng would not ask for these porcelains again, but he didn't expect Lu Qingpeng to accept it, if it was him, he would definitely not accept it, so that there would be no entanglement in dealing with Xue Wenguang in the future.
Of course, whether Lu Qingpeng collects it or not has nothing to do with Meng Zitao, and they will not have any contact in the future, and Lu Qingpeng is too thoughtful, and Meng Zitao doesn't like it.
Lu Qingpeng asked Lu Jinde to give the money to Xue Wenguang, which was equivalent to giving Xue Wenguang an eviction order. Xue Wenguang also wished to leave this place early, so he took his things and left.
When Xue Wenguang left, Meng Zitao said the appraisal results and reasons just now, and then he was ready to leave, he stayed here awkwardly, so it was better to go back early.
Lu Qingpeng didn't do much to keep it, but he gave Meng Zitao a painted porcelain plate to express his gratitude.
This porcelain plate is not a simple official kiln porcelain, and there is something special, Mencius Tao observed that its porcelain should be from the Ming Dynasty, and the painting should be from the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
Fortunately, this kind of porcelain is a little novel, but it is not very expensive, and the market value does not exceed one or two hundred thousand at most, which is nothing to Meng Zitao, and even a little low.
As soon as Yu Wei sent Meng Zitao to the door and let Lu Jinde go in first, he couldn't help complaining: "Now you know my status in the Lu family, I ask you to come over to appraise, he actually only gave one plate, and there is really no one!"
"This plate is also fine, and the market price is also one or two hundred thousand. Meng Zitao said with a smile.
Yu Weigang said disdainfully: "Cut, one or two hundred thousand, when did he invite an expert to come over and not give a thick red envelope! When he came to you, he only gave a plate, who knows how much money he spent to buy it!"
Meng Zitao said: "Okay, it's useless to talk about this matter, I'm here for your sake, and I don't have a problem if he doesn't give it to me." ”
Yu Weigang originally wanted to complain a few words, but after thinking about it, he was about to part ways with the Lu family, so why didn't they give themselves face, and face was fought for by themselves, and when he succeeds in his career in the future, he is afraid that he will lose face?
In fact, what Meng Zitao didn't say was that he felt that the reason why Lu Qingpeng didn't treat him well was mainly because he let Yu Wei just come out and work alone. Although Yu Weigang said that his resignation had nothing to do with him, the ability of a person who can create a family business is definitely beyond doubt, and now Lu Qingpeng knows his identity, and he has some numbers in his heart.
Meng Zitao changed the subject: "Gangzi, do you know anything about Xue Wenguang?"
"Xue Wenguang?" Yu Weigang was stunned, and immediately reacted: "You are talking about Jiang Guanshan, I don't know much about him, I only know what kind of director he is, or a professor of a foreign college, it is said that he is very powerful, but I didn't expect it to be a lie after a long time." ”
"What?, a professor from a foreign college?" Meng Zitao was stunned, and almost laughed out loud, this is too ridiculous, Xue Wenguang even moved out as a professor, and others still believed it, it was really strange.
"yes, I don't remember which house exactly, it's a bit of a mouthful anyway. Yu Weigang said.
"It's really weird that happens every year, especially this year. Meng Zitao shook his head and smiled, and then asked, "Didn't you investigate whether his identity as a professor is true?"
"It has nothing to do with me, I'm too lazy to care about their business!"
Yu Weigang spread his hands, and then said: "By the way, you should have a grudge against this person, why don't I help you ask for his address?"
Meng Zitao smiled and said, "No need, I have already asked someone to solve this matter." ”
When Xue Wenguang left just now, he asked the bodyguards to call someone to follow Xue Wenguang, this time Xue Wenguang should have wings and it was difficult to fly.
"Okay, thank you for today's business. ”
"What are you talking about, what is the relationship between the two of us, using such politeness?"
"Hehe, the point is that this is not for myself. ”
"Okay, don't talk about this, I'll go back first, call me if there's something. ”
"Okay, I'll contact ...... then"
Halfway through the car, Meng Zitao received a phone call saying that Xue Wenguang had been caught, and that he had caught it on the way he was about to escape.
There is a way to be a person who does not do bad things, and he is not shocked when he knocks on the door in the middle of the night. Xue Wenguang wanted to run away in such a hurry, there must be something unsightly, not to mention that he also had an identity that was unrelated, and there was no ghost behind him.
So, Meng Zitao asked the other party on the phone to try to see if he could ask something from Xue Wenguang's mouth, and he would arrive immediately.
Xue Wenguang was locked up in a warehouse stacked with sundries on the outskirts of Xiangjiang, and when Meng Zitao arrived, he did not have any injuries on the surface, but his upper body looked a little wet.
Meng Zitao was very curious about what Xue Wenguang had done, and then learned that he had used wet toilet paper and covered Xue Wenguang's face, and it didn't take long for Xue Wenguang to tell all the things he had done in Xiangjiang.
Speaking of which, after Xue Wenguang arrived in Xiangjiang, he became an expert through his relationship, and then he made black money as an expert, and he did everything he could, but he usually hid in the dark, such as introducing people to an antique shop, intentionally or unintentionally introducing some precious antiques, and then leaving first on the grounds that something was wrong.
After that, the store did everything in its power to sell the fakes mixed with those precious antiques, and the money finally earned was divided equally between the two.
Just through the means of abduction and abduction, in just a few months, Xue Wenguang made at least two million, but he also made a plan, and when the time came, he would do a big deal, and then immigrate to the United States or Europe incognito.
Meng Zitao looked at Xue Wenguang with a smile: "Okay, now that my brain is active enough, tell me how much money the Lu family makes?"
Xue Wenguang laughed dryly: "The Lu family is strong, I don't dare to do too much, and when it is time to win their trust, I will only earn some introduction fees at most, and that bronze mirror really has nothing to do with me." I'll give them back the money right away...... Oh no, double the payback. ”
Meng Zitao said lightly: "You have nothing to do with me to make the Lu family's money, it's just that I'm a person who holds grudges, thinking of the past, my hand began to itch, what do you think I should do?"
Xue Wenguang saw Meng Zitao rubbing his hands, he remembered the inhuman encounter he had just received, his heart shuddered, and he gritted his teeth and began to slap himself: "It's me bastard! It's me who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai! It's me who is not as good as a beast! Master Meng, you have a lot, let me go, I can give you all the possessions I have now!"
Meng Zitao laughed and said: "Xue Wenguang, do you think I will be rare with your things? And you don't want to think about it, if it wasn't for my ability and luck at the beginning, now I have been ruined by you, right?"
"That's a bit of an exaggeration. Xue Wenguang said weakly, even he didn't believe it, if he fell off with Meng Zitao now, it was very likely that Meng Zitao would cramp and peel the skin.
"Boasting or not, you know it yourself. ”
Meng Zitao said with a cold face: "Tell me, what can I let you go." ”
"Uh......" Xue Wenguang used his brain, racked his brains, and thought of something that could arouse Meng Zitao's interest, and in a half-sound, he thought of something: "Shopkeeper Meng, I got an invitation to the antique auction before, if you agree, I can transfer this invitation to you." ”
Meng Zitao laughed and said: "An invitation to the auction wants me to let you go, you won't be all the paste in your head!"
Xue Wenguang said: "To tell you the truth, this is not an ordinary auction, the things on it are all smuggled to Xiangjiang from China, and many of them are priceless, and there is not a bronze horse in the Western Han Dynasty stepping on Feiyan." ”
"What, the horses of the Western Han Dynasty stepped on Feiyan?" Meng Zitao couldn't help but be stunned.
The Ma Ta Feiyan now in the Ganlong Museum was unearthed from the Lei Tai Han Tomb in 1969 and is a bronze artifact from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Ma Ta Feiyan is also known as "Ma Chao Dragon Sparrow" and "Copper Galloping Horse", the image is vigorous and handsome, and has a unique style. The horse neighed with its head held high, its torso strong and its limbs slender, its legs and hooves light, its three legs soaring into the air, galloping forward, and its feet landing on the ground. A large horse stepped on the back of a galloping dragon sparrow, and the little dragon sparrow looked back in surprise, showing the majestic posture of the horse soaring in the air and galloping.
Its bold conception and romantic approach give people a thrilling feeling, which is amazing. The artist skillfully used a lightning-like moment to vividly express a galloping and vigorous Pegasus in the clouds, reflecting the spirit of striving for progress and striving for progress in the Han Dynasty. The work is not only cleverly conceived, but also very exquisitely crafted, not only expressive, but also realistic. It is a national treasure.
Now that Xue Wenguang said that there would be a horse stepping on Feiyan from the Western Han Dynasty in this auction, Meng Zitao was of course surprised, and his first thought was an imitation.
"Don't believe it, I thought it was a fake at first, but I learned from an expert who was involved in the identification of this object that it was indeed genuine, although the preservation situation is slightly worse than the current domestic one, but it is also exquisite, and it can be called a national treasure. ”
"It is precisely because of these heavyweight cultural relics that I am worried that something will go wrong, so the auction will be very secret, and most people don't even know that there is this auction, and the invitation to the auction is not something that can be obtained with money, and I also got the invitation by chance, if you promise to let me go, I will send the invitation to you." ”
"Really?"
"Can I still lie to you about this kind of thing? If you don't believe me, you can ask through your acquaintances if there is such an auction. Invitations are not hard to get. ”
"Okay, I'll ask someone, if I find out you're lying to me, hehe......"
Meng Zitao called Shu Ze and asked him if there was such an auction, Shu Ze had never heard of it, and asked someone to inquire, and after more than ten minutes, he called and said that there was indeed such an auction, and that even he could not get the invitation for the time being.
Meng Zitao was very curious, so he said to Xue Wenguang: "Are you afraid that I will go to your house to search for invitations?"
Xue Wenguang said confidently: "I'm not afraid to tell you, you will definitely not find where to put the invitation." ”
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you can hand over the invitation, I will let you go." ”
"Really?"
"It's true!"
"Won't go back?"
"I still want to save face, I won't regret it, if you don't worry, I can write you a statement. ,”
"Yes, but I have one condition, you can take me to the invitation. ”
Meng Zitao sneered: "You are playing very loudly, what if you go out and shout? Don't tell me that you won't do this, I won't believe you." If you don't let me send someone to pick it up, I won't want the invitation at all, how rare do you think I am? Or do you think I won't be able to get it?"
Xue Wenguang was silent for a moment, thinking about it, and felt that there was still no way, who called the situation stronger than people, he was now a prisoner, and if he wanted to escape, he could only agree.
Meng Zitao was about to ask someone to get the invitation, and then thought of a key question: "No, since the auction is so secret, may the invitation be anonymous?"
