Chapter 861: Recognition
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Brother Drill immediately changed his face, he stood up from the chair, and walked towards Meng Zitao with a smile on his face, at this time, the little brother next to him still wanted to follow him and protect his safety, he waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to.
"Meng Shao, I don't think there should be any entanglement of interests between us, right?" Brother Drill said with a smile as he walked, showing a harmless appearance of humans and animals.
"The speed at which the chameleon changes color is comparable to you, it's like a heaven and an earth. ”
Meng Zitao couldn't help but complain in his heart, as for the reason why Brother Drill put on that posture just now, it is estimated that he wanted to give himself a dismount, to show that he is not easy to mess with, but this trick is not of any use to himself, and it really threatens his own safety, so don't blame him for making a thunderous blow.
Then, he said lightly: "It depends on what you think, whether there is any entanglement of interests is all in your thoughts." ”
Brother Drill smiled, and looked at him: "Meng Shao must also know that our line of vigilance is relatively high, please don't mind what happened just now." ”
"Besides, aren't you afraid that I'll ask someone to arrest you?" Meng Zitao asked with a smirk.
Brother Drill spread his hands: "I'm afraid, it's because I'm afraid that I must come, if I don't come, won't it be three hundred taels of silver here?"
Speaking of which, since he learned of Meng Zitao's identity, he didn't want to meet Meng Zitao at all, but thinking of the reason he said, he could only agree. Because he felt aggrieved, and he really wanted to give Meng Zitao an idea of getting off the horse, he acted in the play just now.
"You were prescient. Meng Zitao smiled, if Brother Drill didn't agree to see him, he would definitely feel that Brother Drill had a ghost in his heart and had done something unseemly, of course he had to send someone to investigate, and maybe he would wipe out Brother Drill's gang.
Brother Drill smiled: "No way, this line of work will definitely be planted sooner or later if you don't judge the situation." ”
"In that case, why do you still do this?"
"This is also unthinkable, who made me poor, in addition to good water, there is no other specialty, if you want to make money, you can only find some side doors. Now I have to be responsible for my subordinates, and I can't just retreat, but I also do things and don't do things, and I don't go down to fish. And the things that were fished out were also sold to the Chinese, and as for them to sell them to foreigners, it was not something I could manage. ”
"Hehe, you're pretty proud. ”
"I'm so proud that I can't talk about it, but I'm also grabbing food with foreigners, at least I get things, which is much better than foreigners getting them. ”
"Hopefully it's exactly what you say. ”
Although Brother Drill's stinky look made Meng Zitao feel a little unhappy, I have to say that Brother Drill is also right, no matter what, this kind of money makes Chinese people earn much better than foreigners, but this matter must indeed be as Brother Drill said.
Brother Drill patted his chest and promised: "I may have a lot of shortcomings, and I usually brag, but this thing is true, and I didn't give you any sloppiness." ”
Meng Zitao didn't want to talk to him about this anymore, and said: "Okay, let's talk about something else, I also told you about my intention before, can I go and see your goods now?"
Brother Drill didn't have anything to say, so he immediately agreed.
Today's car was borrowed by Meng Zitao asked Shu Ze, the army drove the car, followed the car in front of him and set off to the destination, and Meng Zitao asked Brother Drill some questions about Hailao porcelain.
"Brother Drill, like how did you get the information about the shipwreck?" Meng Zitao was still very concerned about this matter.
Brother Drill said with a smile: "Don't call me Brother Drill, my friends call me Lao Drill, as for the information about the shipwreck, there is no good way, you can only find all kinds of information, find some clues from it, and then let someone you trust to inquire about the news, sometimes there is no result for a year and a half." Of course, once you hear the news and confirm it, the funds paid in the early stage will come back, and in general, as long as the luck is not too bad, you can make a lot of money. ”
"If you're unlucky, it's hard to say, for example, when you go into the water, you meet those ghost guys who are free treasure hunters, and if you don't get it, you will have conflicts. I've met twice before, and on one occasion, two of my men died, but the ghost guys didn't get any better, and there were several times more dead than on my side. ”
At this, a look of resentment appeared on his face.
Meng Zitao didn't ask much about this matter, and then asked about the salvage of the sunken ship after the discovery of the ship.
"Now I have purchased advanced instruments, all imported from abroad, it is convenient to search for wrecks, and it is also convenient to go into the water to fish for the things in the wreck. ”
"I don't know if you've heard that in the professional field of diving, there is a so-called 'Martini's Law', which means that every 10 meters of diving is equivalent to drinking a martini. This is because, under the sparkling water, divers will see a twisted world and will show unusual excitement. ”
"Even the most experienced divers sometimes make the stupid decision to swim from tens of meters deep to the surface in one fell swoop. It's almost the equivalent of suddenly opening a bottle of beer, and the lungs bubbles compressed by the water spew like beer foam, except that the diver spews out blood. Now that I'm well equipped, this kind of situation is basically rare, but those who fish for offshore shipwrecks, this situation still happens from time to time, and some even kill each other. ”
Meng Zitao was surprised: "Ah, it's really fake?"
"I can still lie to you about this. ”
Brother Zuan said: "Our industry is generally called 'water ghosts', and they usually choose to go into the water on dark and windy nights to avoid people's eyes. On small fishing boats, industrial oxygen cylinders are connected to compressors, and compressors are connected to hoses, and these 'water ghosts' usually wear rudimentary diving suits and carry a straw in their mouths before entering the water. ”
"Almost no one cares about the damage to the body caused by this suicidal diving method, they are more concerned about getting ahead of others and salvaging the treasure on the bottom of the sea as soon as possible, and how much they can catch. Because there are buyers on the shore, waiting for them with large sums of cash. Sometimes, when many 'water ghosts' go into the water together, the hoses will accidentally become entangled and they will not be able to breathe, and in order to survive, they have to cut the breathing tubes of the people around them. ”
"Uh......" Meng Zitao really didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen, but if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable for this situation to happen, once people are at the moment of life and death, they are actually no different from animals, and they all act according to instinct.
Brother Zuan talked about the salvage, which opened Meng Zitao's eyes, but Meng Zitao also found that Brother Zuan looked down on those people who salvaged shipwrecks offshore, and felt that the quality of this group of people was too poor, and they didn't study the sea fishing porcelain, and they were "water ghosts" all for money, and they didn't even care about their own lives.
The army drove after the car in front of them, turned around and came to a stop in front of a house near the sea.
The area of the house is very large, estimated to be two or three hundred square meters, but it looks old on the outside, and it is estimated that the time to build it should not be short.
After everyone got out of the car, under the leadership of Brother Drill, they walked into this house, and as soon as they walked into the house, Meng Zitao found that there were boxes piled up around him, needless to say, he knew what was in it.
However, Brother Drill didn't let Meng Zitao see the contents of these boxes, he took Meng Zitao into a room inside and opened a secret door in the room.
"Meng Shao, these are all the fine products I have left over the years, you are not satisfied. ”
Meng Zitao looked into the room, only to see that there were relatively small wooden boxes inside, he opened the box next to him casually, but saw a large blue and white jar lying inside.
Meng Zitao picked it up and took a look, only to see its straight mouth, sloping shoulders, round belly, and circle feet. The edge of the mouth is decorated with a seawater pattern, the shoulder is a lotus pattern, and the theme is a peony pattern. The lower shin is dotted with curly grass pattern and lotus petal pattern for one week each. The blue and white hair color is pure, the painting lines are smooth, and the ornamentation is clear. The bottom foot is slightly flint red, and the foot edge is covered with glaze spots.
According to Meng Zitao's judgment, this instrument was produced in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the shape of the instrument is huge, it remains intact, it is extremely rare, and the market value can be worth at least more than one million.
Then, Meng Zitao looked at the contents of the other boxes, and the contents were all porcelain, there were various types of porcelain, mainly blue and white, and they were indeed all fine products, and the overall value of dozens of pieces of porcelain should be between 7,000 and 80 million.
Meng Zitao said: "Old diamond, can I buy everything here?"
"I can't ask for it. Brother Drill grinned happily.
"You calculate how much. Meng Zitao said: "In addition, let's make it clear, if you want to throw me a sugar-coated cannonball, then I will definitely eat the sugar-coated cannonball and throw it back for you." ”
Brother Drill smiled: "Haha, Meng Shao laughed, I usually pursue the principle of seeing the truth over time, how am I a person, let's get in touch slowly." Besides, these things are a whole number, a total of 60 million, what do you think?"
Seventy or eighty million things are bought for sixty million, is it a big advantage, in fact, it doesn't count, because these things are all Hailao porcelain, the identity is definitely not glorious, and the identity must be bleached when entering the market, these are all to be touched.
Therefore, the same piece of porcelain worth millions, the orderly circulation and the non-identity of Hailao porcelain, the relationship between the two must not be equivalent.
Therefore, it is normal for Brother Drill to offer this price, of course, Meng Zitao must have made a profit.
As I said just now, even if it is a sugar-coated cannonball, Meng Zitao must eat the sugar-coated first, so after Brother Drill offered the price, Meng Zitao agreed without much thought.
"Do you want a cash check, or will we transfer the money later?" Meng Zitao asked.
Brother Zuan showed his belief in Meng Zitao: "Just cash checks." ”
Meng Zitao nodded, and immediately wrote a cash check, and Brother Zuan accepted it without any inspection.
Brother Drill smiled and said, "I haven't opened for three years, and I've been open for a lifetime." Meng Shao, you can pick some of the things in those boxes outside later. ”
"Then you're welcome. ”
Meng Zitao went to the outside box and picked out some porcelain, and the total price was nearly hundreds of thousands: "Old diamond, your things here are good, why don't I help you empty them?"
Brother Drill arched his hand to Meng Zitao: "Then I really have to thank you!"
Meng Zitao smiled: "I don't have the energy to spend here, so I'll call back later and call someone to come and take over, no problem, right?"
Brother Drill patted his chest: "Of course it's no problem, I will definitely entertain it." ”
"Then it's decided. ”
Next, Brother Zuan asked people to move the porcelain purchased and selected by Meng Zitao to a truck, and the army escorted the car, and the porcelain was first sent to the airport, and then transferred back to Ling City.
Brother Drill took Meng Zitao to a restaurant to settle lunch, and halfway through the meal, Meng Zitao remembered the matter of Mi Anliang, so he asked: "Old Diamond, I don't know if you have heard of a person named Mi Anliang?"
"Mianliang, who is this person, and who is also doing my business?" Brother Drill thought for a moment, but didn't remember who this person was.
Meng Zitao briefly explained Mi Anliang's situation, and took out the photo on Mi Anliang's previous ID card for Brother Zuan's identification.
Because it was an old ID card, he couldn't see it clearly, and Meng Zitao was really worried that he wouldn't be able to recognize it, but he didn't expect Brother Drill to recognize this person at a glance: "This is not Li Crab, I know him when he turns to ashes!"
When Meng Zitao saw that he recognized him, he was happy but also a little strange: "Why do you call him 'Li Crab'?"
Brother Drill pouted: "It's not that this guy is rampant and rampant, and he wanted to monopolize the Hailao porcelain market in Wenling, but he was beaten into a pig's head by me and a few friends, and he didn't dare to mention this matter again." ”
Meng Zitao said, "Can you tell me about his current situation?"
Brother Zuan replied, "I don't have much contact with him, I only know that he has a group of people under him, and he also does the Hailao porcelain business, but he is different from me, specializing in offshore things, and as long as he gives money, he will sell anyone." However, I don't know his specific situation, and this guy is chattering, he looks like an addict, and there are few people in Wenling's circle who have a good impression of him. ”
There was no useful information in these words, and Meng Zitao asked again, "Then can you find him?"
Brother Drill said with some embarrassment: "This is really not easy, this guy has already seen the beginning and end of the dragon a year or two ago, and rarely appears in front of the public." Speaking of which, I still wonder if I hadn't seen him once two months ago, I would have thought this guy was dead. If you are in a hurry to find him, I can try to contact you, but I don't dare to pack a ticket if I can contact him. ”
"You can help me get in touch, it doesn't matter if it works out or not. ”
"Okay. ”
Unexpectedly got some information about Mi Anliang, Meng Zitao was also quite happy, and immediately sent a message to Captain Qian, telling him some information.
After eating, Meng Zitao took his leave and left.
"Boss, why do you want to sell him all the treasures that you have treasured for so many years and have accumulated with great difficulty?"
Brother Drill glanced at his subordinates who were asking: "Pig brain, if you want to have a relationship with him, can you not have a 'name letter'?" Don't be verbose, go and pass a message to Li Crab for me!"
