Although Mu Yuqi's family was not very satisfied with the price offered by Meng Zitao, just like Lao Yang said, after a year, they only needed to take out 200,000 yuan to buy things back.

Moreover, if by that time, the price of tin kettles has risen, it will actually be profitable for them.

After thinking about it, the family finally felt that this plan really had no disadvantages for their family, so they agreed.

And for Meng Zitao, if he can get clues related to the treasure map, even if he pays some more, he is willing, not to mention, he still earns it now, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

After returning that day, Meng Zitao took out the previous two drawings and compared them, and found that the lid of the box was indeed the remaining part.

After deciding on it, he planned to go to Shanghai to visit the old man's family and see if he could find clues.

However, before that, he has to take care of the matter of the blonde Shun's grandson. Moreover, he still has the information given by Zheng Anzhi to learn, although he has an excellent memory now, but he does not dare to be sloppy in matters related to his future.

Therefore, Meng Zitao's trip to Shanghai will be arranged after Zheng Anzhi's assessment.

On Thursday, Meng Zitao asked Dajun to go to the store first, and he went to Lao Liu and Lao Niu to see if there were any good things.

Now, as his reputation in the antique world of Lingshi is getting more and more famous, he doesn't buy much on the antique street except for Lao Liu and Lao Niu, or at the market every Saturday and Sunday. The reason for this is precisely because he is burdened by his fame.

Just like those experts on TV, if you go to the antique market in their true form, they generally won't be able to pick up the leaks. Because they are well-known specialists, their image often appears on TV screens. Widely known.

If these famous experts, run to the stalls to buy things. When the seller saw it, even the big experts took a fancy to his own thing, needless to say that it must be a national treasure, originally he only wanted to sell it for 100 yuan, but now, no matter what, he has to quote 1 million.

You can imagine what is the probability of a big expert picking up a leak in this case?

The same thing. With the increase of fame, Meng Zitao's chances of picking up leaks in the Lingshi antique market are also much lower. When everyone finds out that he buys something, he will generally subconsciously raise the price, because Meng Zitao will definitely not buy fakes or imitations.

As for wanting to rely on "adding heads" to pick up leaks, it is something that you don't have to think about.

Fortunately, Meng Zitao is only somewhat famous in Lingshi now, and it does not prevent him from picking up leaks in other places, and when his fame spreads all over the country in the future, he will go to the antique market every time. I guess I'll have to dress up in disguise.

Of course, fame also has the benefit of being famous, because if someone you know has something he likes, he will keep it for him. Let's say the old cow. The day before yesterday, he got a bamboo carved pen holder from a famous Qing Dynasty, and others didn't sell it if they wanted him, so he kept it for Meng Zitao.

Of course. Mencius Tao will not treat him badly, therefore. It's also a win-win for both parties.

After talking about the mountains for a while, Meng Zitao took the pen holder and returned to the store. Then he made a cup of tea and took out the information that Zheng Anzhi gave him and looked at it.

"Boss, do you have any Yuan Qinghua here?"

Meng Zitao was watching intently, and suddenly heard someone say something, and knew that the other party either didn't understand at all, or was joking, he didn't raise his head, so he waved his hand and said, "No, you go somewhere else to ask." ”

"Hey, how do you do business!" the other party said in a somewhat unkind tone.

Meng Zitao was now seeing the key point, and was interrupted one after another, his heart was a little angry, he raised his head, and was about to see who was not long-eyed, but what fell into his eyes was Meng Hongchang's smiling face.

Meng Zitao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, stepped forward, and patted Meng Hongchang's shoulder with both hands: "When did you come back?"

"Came back yesterday. ”

Meng Hongchang pretended to grin and said, "I said can you be lighter." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "You guy, why don't you tell me? Believe it or not, I'll be a little heavier." ”

Meng Hongchang smiled and said, "I don't return to my hometown in fine clothes, and I'm not a big man, what is there to notify?"

"It's not interesting for you to say that. ”

Meng Zitao invited Meng Hongchang to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "By the way, have you thought about what your plans are for the future?"

Meng Hongchang said: "I told you last time that I planned to do sales, but after thinking about it, I felt that this is not something I like to do. ”

"Then are you still going to do technology?" Meng Zitao asked again.

"Technology?" Meng Hongchang looked a little emotional, and said: "I've been doing technology for so many years, and I'm a little tired of it, but don't do technology, I don't have any other skills, and I feel very troubled now." ”

Meng Zitao thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of the auction company?"

"I don't know much about the industry. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Hongchang reacted a little: "You don't want me to do this, do you?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "I really have this plan." ”

"Why?" Meng Hongchang was not too strange, because he knew that Meng Zitao would not be untargeted.

"A few days ago, I discussed with a friend to start an auction company together, and I have a 20% stake. ”

Meng Zitao's answer surprised Meng Hongchang very much, and asked, "How big is the auction company?"

Meng Zitao said lightly: "The registered capital of 50 million is real. ”

"Twenty percent of 50 million......"

Meng Hongchang silently calculated, and his lips trembled a little: "You spent 10 million to set up an auction company in partnership with others?!"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I only paid five million, and the rest is my technology shares." ”

Meng Hongchang said with a shocked face: "That's also five million, where did you get so much money?"

Meng Zitao didn't want to say too much trouble, so he said about the bet: "You shouldn't have heard that I won 16 million in a bet with others a few days ago, right?"

Meng Hongchang was stunned and exclaimed, "What! There is still such a thing? Tell me about it!"

When Meng Zitao retold the original incident, Meng Hongchang laughed and said: "That guy really has a problem with his brain, and he doesn't even know how to compare the two samples." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Who knows what he thinks, it is estimated that he only looked at the conclusions at that time, and found that they were all true, so he didn't care about anything else." ”

Meng Hongchang laughed: "It doesn't matter what he thinks, anyway, as long as you make money." By the way, in my experience, these cautious bosses will definitely not give up so easily, you have to pay attention. ”

"Actually, at the auction the next day, he had already called for revenge, but I cheated twice. Meng Zitao briefly said what happened at the auction again: "I don't think it's surprising, it should be someone he found to do it." ”

"It's really a loss for my wife and a soldier, if only my former boss were so stupid. Meng Hongchang laughed again.

After a while, Meng Zitao said: "I feel that I listen to your meaning, your boss gave you small shoes to wear?"

Meng Hongchang shook his head: "With your relationship, how dare he give me small shoes to wear? ”

Meng Zitao frowned slightly, felt a little angry in his heart, and said, "Do you want me to ask someone to help you vent your anger?"

"Don't do this, it's boring, and besides, you can't just rely on this matter to get into trouble, they are narrow-minded, do we have to descend to the same height as them?"

Meng Hongchang continued: "Besides, when I have achievements in the future and appear in front of those people again, what will they think?"

"Bang Bang ......"

Meng Zitao applauded lightly and said, "Yes, if you have achievements, it is the best counterattack for them." ”

Meng Hongchang smiled slightly: "Let's talk about what happened just now, this is a trivial matter for me, that boss, I think you should fight back fiercely, beat him hard, beat him scared, so that he won't do any tricks." ”

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will ask someone to investigate this matter." Let's talk about your work, do you want to work at an auction company?"

Meng Hongchang said with some hesitation: "I want to go, and I feel that I am also a little interested in antiques, but I don't know anything about this at all, so I can't let a layman do an insider's thing, right?"

Meng Zitao said: "The auction company is not only a job that comes into contact with antiques, you can go to the general department, learn while working, as long as you are interested, even if you are old, you can still learn." ”

Meng Hongchang pondered for a moment and said: "Xiaotao, I really want to help you, but I don't want to drag you down because of myself, you let me think about it again and give you an answer tomorrow, what do you think?"

Meng Zitao agreed: "No problem......"

Next, the brothers chatted for a while, and when it came to the object, Meng Hongchang said with a smile: "I said Xiaotao, your career is thriving now, and you are not short of money, and you don't want to find a partner yet." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "I'm young, I'm not in a hurry, on the contrary, you are thirty years old and haven't gotten married, and your father and mother are going to die in a hurry." I remember when you were in the capital, you talked about a partner, why didn't you bring it back this time?"

Meng Hongchang let out a long sigh: "It's divided!"

Meng Zitao was surprised: "What!

"Just before I came back from the capital. Meng Hongchang's expression looked a little depressed.

Meng Zitao was a little incredulous: "No, could it be that she broke up with you because you wanted to come back?"

Meng Hongchang smiled bitterly: "Yes, that's the reason, and I don't know what the two-year relationship is in her eyes." (To be continued.) )
