In the late Neolithic Age, there were oracle bones for divination in China, and oracle bones were prevalent in the Shang Dynasty, and there were still oracle bones in the early Zhou Dynasty or later. The oracle bones of the Shang and Zhou dynasties were also engraved with the divination script "oracle bone inscription".

And the oracle bone fragments hidden in the elephant's belly have a total of nine pieces, all of which are tortoise shells, different sizes and shapes, carved with oracle bone inscriptions, which tell about sacrifices, chastity, very rare.

However, although the nine oracle bones are precious, Mencius is not concerned about these, but the white cloth wrapped in the oracle bones, on which some oracle bone inscriptions are written.

Because of his outstanding memory, Meng Zitao's understanding of the oracle bone inscription was a small meaning for him, so he could also recognize the meaning written on the white cloth.

It is said that he is an oracle bone lover in Xiangjiang, and by chance, he collected hundreds of oracle bones, but he was also favored by a rich man and wanted to take them by force.

Of course he refused, but the other party was powerful at the time, and under the persecution of the rich man, he could only entrust the oracle bone fragments to the mainland, and nine oracle bones were hidden in the elephant's belly and sold together with the white cloth.

He said on it that according to the agreement, as long as he took these fragments and this piece of white cloth, found the person he asked for at the beginning, and gave the other party a sum of money, he would be able to get those oracle bones.

However, this matter is only an agreement between them, and there are no other constraints, and it is possible that the oracle bone will be sold by that person, or that person will die and be sold by his children, etc.

He could think of these things, but he didn't pay attention to them, because his idea was actually very simple, as long as he didn't let the rich man get it.

After reading the content written on the white cloth, Meng Zitao must investigate this matter, the oracle bone inscription is a valuable material for the study of ancient characters, and it has a very important research value for the study of ancient culture and life, and the oracle bone inscription on hundreds of oracle bones may be able to solve many mysteries, if possible, of course he has to find it.

Regarding the things written on the white cloth, Meng Zitao did not say much to Cao Gang, and Cao Gang did not ask much, which was based on good professionalism.

After that, Meng Zitao called back to China and told his master about the matter, so he didn't need to worry about the rest of the matter.

Since Cao Gang was there, Mencius didn't deal with the other painting, so as not to arouse his doubts, but he checked it with his ability, and wrote two lines of numbers on the back. If it was any other number, he wouldn't take it seriously, but the number in the first row was "961394", so it had to get his attention.

There is also a line of words that is "8585385", and other than that, there is no textual information, but since the number in the first line is the same as the one obtained by Bu Chaofeng, there must be some mystery in it.

It's just that no matter how big the mystery is, if you don't know how to crack it, there is no way, so for the time being, this will be put aside in advance and dealt with after returning home.

I had lunch with Cao Gang, chatted for a while, and was about to say where to go in the afternoon, when Meng Zitao received a call from Boss Chen, asking if Meng Zitao had time now, and his friend wanted to meet Meng Zitao.

Half an hour later, Meng Zitao met Boss Chen and Tian Youqi in a café.

Meng Zitao pretended not to know each other and greeted the two, and Boss Chen introduced the two parties.

Tian Youqi glanced at Cao Gang and smiled at Meng Zitao, "It's not that I'm anxious to ask Mr. Jiang to come out, but when Lao Chen contacted me, I happened to have tea with a friend, and he was very interested after listening to it, I just happened to have time this afternoon, so I want to meet Mr. Jiang, I don't know if it's convenient for you?"

Meng Zitao said: "It's not inconvenient to arrive, but I just take the liberty to ask, why is your friend so anxious?"

Tian Youqi looked a little helpless, "What did my friend say, people are a little simple, they were cheated of some money during this time, and they were nervous, so they couldn't wait to sell some of the collections in their hands to save the emergency, as for the grade, you will understand after you see it." ”

Meng Zitao nodded: "Before we go to see, should we set up the rules?"

"What rules?" Tian Youqi was a little surprised, and immediately he reacted: "Oh, you're talking about the company's agreement, some rules really have to be established, otherwise people will feel informal. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "What does Mr. Tian think?"

Tian Youqi took out the words he had thought of in advance: "In this way, I don't want Mr. Jiang to buy the porcelain in full in advance, let's open it in five or five, and each person will invest a sum of money for the early stage of the company's operation and the acquisition of porcelain, I am responsible for the acquisition, you are responsible for the sale, and you should be able to get on the right track soon!"

Meng Zitao was a little surprised in his heart, because although he could make more money in this way, if it was found to be a fake, Tian Youqi would also have a loss, did he want to put a long line to hang the big fish, or did he say that it was to clear his suspicion?

Putting this question aside first, Meng Zitao frowned, expressed his disagreement with Tian Youqi's opinion or division, and said: "It is impossible to open five or five, at most twenty-eight, I am eight and you are two." ”

Tian Youqi looked surprised: "Mr. Jiang, if you want to say this, then it will be difficult for us to cooperate, twenty-eight points, even if it is the previous idea, if you buy porcelain in full, I will not be happy." ”

"You know, I need to get into my connections in the United States for decades, for example, I used to only need to sell a few pieces of porcelain a month, but now I need a dozen or even dozens of pieces of porcelain a month, and these are all things that I need to deal with. It's not a good deal for me to make a few bucks,"

Meng Zitao took a sip of coffee and said: "I can understand what you said, but in the same way, cooperating with me, at least there is no worry in China, I believe you should have investigated me, knowing that I have the strength to sell at a high price in China, and it will not cause trouble." Since we are cooperating in business, then we should divide it by contribution, the channel is indeed very important, but I believe that without you, Mr. Tian, you will not be unable to do it, right?"

Tian Youqi said: "If that's the case, I don't have to look for you, it's not impossible to find Christie's to auction." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Then why don't you look for it? And if you say that, I think it's boring, just because I didn't come today." ”

With that, he made the appearance of getting up and preparing to leave.

Boss Chen next to him hurriedly got up and started a round: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, talk about business, ask for the price to pay back on the spot, Lao Tian was just joking just now, I mean, since we are cooperating, then everyone should be honest with each other and put everything on the bright side." ”

Meng Zitao nodded and said: "Boss Chen is right, but I still say that, you can also find others to cooperate, but if you find me, the benefits you can get in the end are not the highest, but also the top." ”

In the next negotiations, Meng Zitao grasped the initiative in the negotiations, and after some negotiations, the two sides finally established the investment ratio of 37 points, Meng Zitao's seven, Tian Youqi 3. This is still the reason why Tian Youqi is willing to take out forty percent of the initial funds, otherwise Meng Zitao will have to press it.

With a verbal agreement, the specific matters will be resolved by the lawyer hired by the two, so they don't have to worry too much.

Tian Youqi rubbed his head and said secretly: "The children of these big families are really difficult, but Lao Tzu is not bad, let's give him a note of Ma Wei later." ”

"Mr. Jiang, there is something I want to discuss with you. ”

"Speak. Meng Zitao took a sip of coffee.

"That's the case, let's start a company is not a matter of time and a half, and my friend is in a hurry to sell his collection, and he can't do it without money, so I thought we should advance it first? This part of the capital can be counted in the initial capital of our company. ”

"Yes. Meng Zitao nodded: "Mr. Tian, how much are you going to give?"

Tian Youqi said casually: "I can come up with 50 million US dollars"

Meng Zitao laughed: "This is what a big business should look like, and when the contract is signed, I will immediately allocate 75 million US dollars." ”

Tian Youqi was stunned, this is 75 million US dollars, at the current official exchange rate, it will cost more than 500 million yuan to convert into RMB, and Meng Zitao can take it out at once? He originally thought that Meng Zitao must have been shocked and wanted to see Meng Zitao's disgraced appearance, but he did not expect that in exchange for such a result, he really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

"Sample, fight with me!"

Meng Zitao sneered in his heart, how could he not understand Tian Youqi's thoughts, but unfortunately he was not short of money, and it was very easy to take out this amount of funds, on the contrary, he wanted Tian Youqi to come up with so much money to invest in the company, and this money would be regarded as a sheep's mouth.

In the middle of the sound, Meng Zitao deliberately said: "Mr. Tian, what's the matter, do you think our initial capital is too small? You don't have to worry, it's no problem for me to add 100 million." ”

Tian Youqi came back to his senses and felt very embarrassed, but on the surface, he had to compliment Meng Zitao: "Boss Jiang is really courageous, if I have sufficient cash flow, I will definitely add more, but unfortunately some of my funds are smashed on several batches of goods, and 50 million is already the limit." ”

Meng Zitao nodded: "Fifty million is fifty million, it's not bad, don't worry, it won't be long before I believe that these fifty million can be doubled or tripled." ”

"Thanks to Mr. Chiang, I believe that this day will come soon. ”

Tian Youqi smiled in his heart: "By that time, this kid should have become a street rat." ”

Having solved this matter, Tian Youqi took everyone to his friend's residence.

Tian Youqi's friend's family lives in the suburbs of New York, speaking of which, many families in the United States like to live in the suburbs, probably because the American car culture has led to the urban design is designed for car travel, commercial areas, residential areas are separated, various commercial functions are very separated, and there is basically no public transportation. With the exception of a few cities such as New York, the commercial layout of the city centers of the vast majority of American cities is not at all suitable for people who do not drive.

Therefore, it is a matter of course to live in the suburbs and enjoy the villa life.
