Manager Yu said: "Although this work is Lan Ying's later works, the level is quite high, but looking back at the previous auctions, the transaction price of Lan Ying's works has never been such a high price, like a painting of Lan Ying's "Cangyan Jiashu Map" auctioned last year, the painting is 33 square feet, and the transaction price is only more than 400,000 square feet, and this painting is small, but it is more than 550,000 square feet, this price is too unreasonable." ”

"I don't think so, the work I had the pleasure of seeing up close last year, there is still a bit of a gap between it and this painting, and the two paintings have different expressions. ”

Mencius Tao said eloquently: "The outline of the mountain and stone in this work is short, vigorous and smart, with broken brushes dotting moss, rubbing with side edges, the weather is steep, and the mountains are mixed with red, green, pink and white trees, and the brushwork is vigorous and sophisticated in the neat and orderly, and the grass is dotted at the foot of the mountain and the water......"

"All in all, I think this work has reached the peak of Lan Ying's artistic level, and "Cangyan Jiashutu" is a cut below the artistic level, and the price between the two is of course not comparable. So I think it's appropriate for this painting to cost five million. ”

What Meng Zitao said was reasonable, and Manager Yu couldn't come up with a reason to refute it, and he was a little depressed, because with Meng Zitao's status in the circle, the judgment he said must be much more powerful than him, and if Meng Zitao really has real talent and learning, he will definitely be better than him in judging the price of antique collections.

In this way, he is now at a disadvantage, and it will be difficult for him to compete with Meng Zitao in the future.

Meng Zitao looked at the others, saw that everyone looked pensive, and smiled slightly: "Teacher Bao, how about selling this work to me?"

"Absolutely. Bao Qigu still wishes that this painting could be sold, speaking of which, if he didn't have a good relationship with Pei Lao, he wouldn't have taken it over at all, after all, he also felt that 5 million was too expensive, but now listening to Meng Zitao, this price may not be too expensive, but if you want to transfer it again, it is estimated that there is no profit.

Twenty or thirty meters away from the left side of Bao Qigu's store, there is a construction bank, and the two of them went to transfer the account together, and it was done quickly, Meng Zitao couldn't help but think in his heart, Bao Qigu opened the store here, will it be because of the proximity to the bank.

Back in the store, Bao Qigu asked about Pei Lao again, Hao Chu said: "The day before yesterday, Pei Lao's four children made trouble again, but this time they also moved their hands and scared Pei Lao's wife to the hospital. Although the old lady was fine and was discharged from the hospital the next day, Pei Lao was angry, saying that he didn't keep the collection, and he was going to sell it and then set up an education fund with the money. ”

Hearing that this is the case, Bao Qigu understands why Manager Yu's face is not good just now, since Meng Zitao knows about this, he will definitely go to see it, and Manager Yu will fight for Meng Zitao.

Thinking about it, Bao Qigu also has some complaints about Hao Chu in his heart, even if you are dissatisfied with Manager Yu because of the lack of business negotiations, don't give Manager Yu a look in front of me, if Manager Yu can't compete with Meng Zitao in the future, he will also spread his resentment on himself, then he will not suffer from an unwarranted disaster.

Since this matter has been mentioned, Meng Zitao must go to see it, and it must be as soon as possible, this kind of thing is often "quick hands, slow hands", slow sellers may sign contracts with others first.

Meng Zitao asked Bao Qigu to take them to Pei's hometown, and Manager Yu also went with him, in fact, he learned the news last night, but he couldn't talk about such a big business, so he reported to the headquarters, and the headquarters said that someone would be sent over today, but he has not been contacted so far, and he doesn't know what happened.

Bao Qigu drove everyone to Pei Lao's house, and Pei Lao's place was not very far, only about 20 minutes away by car.

Meng Zitao thought that the old man lived in a community, but when he looked at it, he realized that it was an old house, but it had been repaired and looked quite tasteful.

There are not many old houses like this now, and they have basically been demolished to give way to the development of modern cities, and the remaining old houses of this kind are also rare.

After everyone got out of the car, they found that a car was parked in front of Pei's hometown, and it seemed that someone had already visited first.

The door was open, and the group walked straight in, however, when they saw the people inside, Manager Yu was stunned, and his face was a little gloomy.

A thirty-five or sixteen-year-old young man in the room saw Manager Yu and greeted him with a smile: "Manager Yu, you are here!"

Manager Yu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and asked, "Why didn't you call me to inform me?"

The young man smiled: "I think it's better to talk about this matter later." ”

Although Manager Yu is angry, he still has some professional ethics, and a quarrel at this time will definitely cause the unhappiness of the master's family, and this business will be yellow.

"What about Teacher Feng?" Manager Yu held back the anger in his heart and asked.

The young man said with a smile: "He just followed Mr. Pei to appreciate the collection, because there was no one outside, I volunteered to watch here." ”

Meng Zitao muttered in his heart: "What to look at, it should be to stop others from entering." ”

At this time, two old men hurriedly walked out of the back room, one of them was seventy or eighty years old, his face was full of anxiety, obviously something had happened.

Seeing this, Bao Qigu hurriedly asked, "Old Pei, what happened to you?"

"Oh no, I have lost a collection!" Pei Lao said anxiously.

"Ahh

"How many pieces are missing?" Bao Qigu hurriedly asked.

Pei Lao's sweat came out: "I lost at least a dozen collections, I didn't count them, and I came out as soon as I found something wrong, worried about destroying the clues inside." ”

"Hurry up and call the police!" Bao Qigu said busily.

Waiting for Pei Lao to call the police, Bao Qigu said again: "Pei Lao, don't get excited, think about what is going on, I remember that your collection room is remade, but it is just a little worse than the bank's vault, how can it be stolen without a sound?"

Because of this, Bao Qigu's first thought was that an acquaintance committed a crime, and if it was an outsider, it would be impossible to steal only a dozen collections.

"yes, how could it be!"

Pei Lao calmed down and said: "I went in yesterday morning, everything is normal, I stayed at home all day yesterday, I got up twice at night, and I didn't hear any movement, when did he steal it?"

Meng Zitao opened his mouth and asked, "Old Pei, do you sleep and wake up regularly at night?"

"It's really regular, but I slept for an hour yesterday. When Pei Lao said this, his face became more and more unsightly, and it was inferred from various circumstances that this was likely to be a theft case carried out by an acquaintance, and who was the person he was most familiar with, in addition to his wife, was his own children.

Thinking of this, Pei Lao felt a burst of sadness, how could he give birth to such a child? The son is not the fault of the father, but for the sake of production and construction, how can he have time to educate his children, and when he wants to educate again, it is too late!

At this time, Meng Hongchang pointed to the monitoring on the wall and said, "The monitoring should be useful, right?"

"Yes!" Pei Lao hurriedly went to check the monitoring, but the other party was obviously very old, and directly removed the monitoring host.

In fact, this is not out of Mencius's expectations, because of the popularity of surveillance, many criminals now know that they must do surveillance when committing crimes, not to mention that they are done by acquaintances, in order to avoid being found, it is inevitable that surveillance will be dealt with.

Pei Lao's lost things have already reached tens of millions, it is a big case, the police came faster than before, and after they arrived, they first understood the situation, and then went to investigate the clues.

At this time, it was a little inconvenient for unrelated personnel to stay here, so the young man and that Teacher Feng said goodbye first, and before leaving, they also gave their business cards to Pei Lao, and Manager Yu also left together with a gloomy face.

Meng Zitao planned to stay, he felt that he could help a little, and he could also be familiar with Pei Lao and win the favor of the other party.

So, Meng Zitao took out his documents, except for Meng Hongchang, everyone else was surprised, why did Meng Zitao still have this identity.

After showing his documents, Meng Zitao participated in the investigation, but the thief was too cunning, and he didn't leave any useful clues, judging from this, it didn't look like Pei Lao's children did it.

Maybe it's internal and external collusion?

Meng Zitao felt that this possibility was relatively large, but if this was the case, the implementer should come over and step on the point, then there would be clues.

"Pei Lao, I don't know if you have met any strangers recently?"

"You're referring to where you met strangers. ”

"Strangers in your home or neighborhood who act a little sneaky. ”

"I haven't seen it sneaky, but yesterday two men came to my house and sold me a few Kangxi Tongbao Xiaoping, which cost me 600 yuan. ”

Meng Zitao was a little suspicious when he heard this, why did they still look for Pei Lao when they sold copper money, so he asked.

Pei Lao replied: "They said that they came here to buy something, saying that I bought things at a fair price, and I wouldn't be deceived if I sold them, so I didn't think much about it." You're saying they're thieves?"

"Possibly. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Where are the copper coins you bought now? Maybe you can extract their fingerprints." ”

"Because it's not too valuable, I'll put it in this drawer as usual......"

Pei Lao opened the drawer and was shocked: "What about the copper coins I put in it?!"

Meng Zitao looked over, and sure enough, the copper coins were gone, so it was clear that the two people were suspected of committing a major crime, because these copper coins were also stolen, and it was very likely that the insider did it, otherwise they would not have taken away a few worthless copper coins when they only stole a dozen collections, which is not quite in line with ordinary people's thinking.
