Chapter 375: Operation in the Shadows
Zhao Ming watched it carefully, and also noticed that there was indeed no flaw on the bottle.
Just the chassis below is still engraved with the word Qianlong, then this thing is still porcelain handed down from the court, and the value has increased at least dozens of times.
"Take the liberty of asking, your honorable name?" Lao Zhang politely asked Zhao Ming, and Zhao Ming replied honestly.
"Zhao Ming. ”
"Oh, I haven't heard of it. ”
Lao Zhang smiled bitterly, "I am known as the wise old Zhang, also known as Zhang Dezi, I told you, just this one treasure, don't be reluctant to spend money." ”
"Don't worry, if you come up with a genuine product, I will at least have a little sincerity, and I won't empty the white wolf. ”
Zhao Ming said so, but he was really shy in his pocket, and seeing such a vase, if he couldn't get it in his pocket, it would inevitably be a pity.
Just as he was tossing and turning, Old Chen hurriedly said, "I said Zhao Ming, why haven't you come to the inner hall yet, didn't you let you wait for me there?"
Boss Chen gasped for breath, people are old, and walking is naturally not so easy.
"I saw that there was also a porcelain bottle here, and it was quite handsome, so I wanted to buy it. ”
Old Chen looked at Zhao Ming's embarrassed look, and he also knew what Zhao Ming was about to say.
Old Chen looked at Lao Zhang next to him with a cold gaze, "Little brother, how much are you going to sell this thing for?"
"Old Chen, is that you?" Lao Zhang recognized Old Chen at once, and said politely, "You don't remember me, I saw you when I was in the club before, did you come to buy an inkstone?"
After saying that, Lao Zhang was weird again, and took out some inkstones from the bag, but he didn't mention anything about this one bottle
Chen Lao smiled faintly, "You just take some inkstones to perfunctory me, and bully me into being dizzy!"
Chen Lao smiled faintly and took the willow bottle from the side, "Tell me, how much do you plan to sell this thing?"
Lao Zhang is naturally reluctant to sell this thing to Chen Lao, in this antique, Chen Lao's knowledge is much greater than his own, and he has no profit at all when he estimates the price.
"Do you want this?" Chen Lao pointed to Zhao Ming on the side, and asked suspiciously, Zhao Ming smiled bitterly, "Don't say it, I want to buy it a little, but I am suffering from ......"
Zhao Ming stopped talking halfway through his words, and Chen Lao also smiled faintly at this time, and rushed over with Yu'er next to him, and saw that Chen Lao was taking out a few checks from his pocket at this time.
hurriedly walked over and grabbed Old Chen's hand, "I said grandpa, you are too impulsive, why are you so good to this kid." ”
Yu'er glared at Zhao Ming very dissatisfied, and Zhao Ming hurriedly stopped, "Old Chen, you don't have to pay for me, how embarrassing is this? ”
As soon as he saw that the money was going to be taken back, Lao Zhang on the side was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and just now he swore that he would sell this thing.
Seeing that the beaked duck was about to fly away, Lao Zhang hurriedly advised, "Old Chen, my antique, that's a good product, whether it's from its curved surface or his most chassis carcass."
The material is speechless, you know more about this than me, if you miss it, then next time there will be no such shop. ”
Yu'er stomped her feet when she heard Lao Zhang's words, and stood in front of Lao Zhang with a weird evil smile, "What were you doing here alone just now?"
Lao Zhang was a little flustered when he said this, as soon as he met such a brutal lady, even an old and cunning person like Lao Zhang was speechless during this time?
Lao Zhang said quibly, "What can I do here, it's just to look at the scenery." ”
Yu'er said puzzled, "Do you know that this is the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, who are you?"
As soon as Chen Lao heard that he was about to say this again, he understood, "Yes, this Chen family ancestral hall, no matter how you say it, is also the territory of our Chen family."
It's not good for you to sell antiques directly and secretly in private, I have some suspicions that your antiques are of unknown origin!"
When Chen Lao said this, a bean-sized cold sweat broke out from Lao Zhang's forehead, and Lao Zhang explained, "Old Chen, and this girl, you can't talk nonsense."
My antiques are all from regular channels, so if you don't buy them, then I won't sell them......" Lao Zhang stammered a little, turned around and was about to leave.
Zhao Ming grabbed his hand at this time, "I said Lao Zhang." Don't be in a hurry. ”
Lao Zhang hurriedly got rid of the male protagonist's hand, and begged coolie and said, "Everyone is a friend, a friend, don't be embarrassed? ”
"But do you know who owns most of the antiques in this Chen family ancestral hall? Most of the antiques here belong to my grandfather. Yu'er said solemnly.
It turns out that this is the case, this Boss Hu is also equivalent to the owner of an auction house, and he is auctioning most of the antiques in the Chen family ancestral hall at this time.
Then he also took some antiques to auction, and most of the shares of these shareholders belonged to Yu'er's grandfather, that is, Chen Lao. In case it is the Chen family ancestral hall, if it is robbed, then it will be fine.
Zhao Ming advised Chen Lao, "We also have to talk about evidence when we do things, just by arresting people for no reason like this, what if we catch the wrong person."
So what I suggest is that I should let Boss Hu coordinate it first and see if there are any antiques missing in our Chen Family Ancestral Hall, if there are really any less.
Then confirm whether it is a missing antique, whether it is sold by Lao Zhang, if these are correct, it is not too late to catch Lao Zhang. ”
Lao Zhang looked exhausted at this time, and sat on the stone slab in the corridor, as if he had been drained of his spirit.
"Then go and call Boss Hu over now, this matter has to be handled by him." Chen Lao said with emotion.
After a while, Yu'er called Boss Hu, and Boss Hu was the man wearing the suit logo, "Ouch, this is not Boss Chen's arrival."
Alas, Old Chen, why didn't you notify you when you came, I went to the door to greet you, why did you come all of a sudden. He said with a compliment.
Chen Lao pointed at Lao Zhang absentmindedly and said, "The antiques in our Chen family ancestral hall have always been recorded in account books, you check the porcelain and inkstone, there is anything missing." ”
As soon as he said this, his face suddenly turned blue, and when he raised his head, he smiled kindly, and said with a smile, "Oh, Old Chen must have made a mistake."
How could I make a mistake, besides, you see, we have been working together for many years, and you still can't believe me. ”
The words of indiscriminate argument made Chen Lao hesitate a little, and because of this, he could trust Boss Hu, so Chen Lao began to doubt the old Zhang in front of him.
Zhao Ming said at this time, "Maybe he made a stumbling block and stole a box of treasures from the Chen family ancestral hall to sell."
In my opinion, you can go to the account to check, maybe it is really missing, this antique is a big deal. ”
"Who are you?" Random came to look at Zhao Ming with disdain, Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly, "I ......"
"Oh, he's Xiao Zhao, it's my friend. Chen Lao explained, but how could he not believe it when he came randomly, "Isn't this a good friend?"
Old Chen, you can afford it too much, there is a young man in front of you, we have been friends for so many years, you can still believe this stinky child in front of you. ”
After Chen Lao heard this, he pointed at Lao Zhang and asked, "Then is this person your subordinate?"
Lao Zhang lowered his head, didn't say a word, and looked at Lao Zhang casually and laughed.
"Oh, this person, it's not my subordinate, and he doesn't work in the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, well, I don't know where he came from. ”
Lao Zhang looked at Hu Lai with hopeful eyes, but he only glared at Lao Zhang with a fierce eye, and Lao Zhang lowered his head again, without saying a word, and continued to be silent.
"I haven't checked my account for so long, and I need to take a look at what this antique equipment has become at auction. Chen Lao saw that something was wrong, and continued to stubbornly investigate.
Boss Hu had no choice, so he said in a playful tone, "Okay, Chen Lao insists on reading it, then I'll bring the bill."
"In this way, in order to pay attention to fairness and justice, can you enter the Treasure Pavilion with me?"
In this way, except for Lao Zhang, everyone and the group followed the random and walked into the Treasure Pavilion together, but there was really nothing wrong with this bill.
But there is a place where it is written that a willow plum and several inkstones were sold at a very low price, and the price of this inkstone and the price of oil products are unimaginably low.
It was auctioned off for only a few thousand dollars, and the person who bought it was only a tourist.
Zhao Ming pointed to the transaction records written on this slip, and asked suspiciously, "Boss Hu, you are also in the antique business, is the porcelain in the Chen family ancestral hall worth this price?"
Again, you deliberately sold it at a low price, and then found someone to sell it at a high price. ”
As soon as Zhao Ming said this, Boss Hu's whole face darkened, and he said angrily, "I said young man, you have to pay attention to what you say."
There is no evidence, don't make assumptions, you are slandering me like this, and you are also slandering Chen Lao, you don't care so much as an outsider, understand?"
Zhao Ming was not afraid, but walked straight over and picked up Lao Zhang's inkstones for comparison.
"Aren't the shapes of these inkstones that you recorded in the ledger just these inkstones? And these inkstones have imitated many fake inkstones.
I ask you, if you don't have that idea, why do you do this? And I just saw you whispering to Lao Zhang.
It's at the end of the hallway, isn't it? I'm wrong, and if I'm wrong, I can call up the surveillance footage!"
When Zhao Ming said this, Boss Hu didn't have a little fear, but seemed calmer, he said calmly.
"In this way, you are putting all the blame on me, you can ask Lao Zhang yourself, he is just a tourist.
Asking me about this antique auction, shouldn't I, as the boss, tell him? Is that still wrong?"
Hearing Boss Hu say this, several people looked at each other and stopped talking, Chen Lao played a round at this time, because Chen Lao had considered many aspects after all, and he had to rely on Boss Hu's power.
"Oh, the big guys are all their own people, this Xiao Zhao is young and ignorant, Boss Hu, don't mind, these antiques are sold at a low price.
You also bothered, so a lot of antiques you have sold at a high price, we don't care about this aspect, and blame me for being too anxious, this is easy to get confused at this age. ”
Yu'er just wanted to argue about something, but was stopped by Chen Lao, Boss Hu smiled, "Yes, I know that Chen Lao knows the overall situation best."
Come on, let's go out to drink tea, the best hair tips, the newly planted tea buds, are just cut out during the Qingming Festival. ”
"yes, yes. Chen Lao smiled awkwardly, picked up the teapot from the side, took a sip, and said to Lao Zhang at this time.
"It's none of your business, sorry sir, I'm really bothering you. Just when Lao Zhang left, he glared at Lao Zhang fiercely.
Lao Zhang hurriedly pulled his legs away and walked away.
