Chapter 107: Auction House Observations
Gong Jian called Li Ming's sentence "Brother Li", but it came from his inner organs.
He shook his head and sat down on the sofa at Li Ming's invitation. "No, I haven't done anything new lately. I'm here today, mainly to trouble Brother Li, I want to inquire about what happened to Su Lao. ”
Li Ming picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and handed a cup to Gong Jian, "You are going to call me brother, why are you still so polite." Do you know Su Lao? Yes, he is a well-known name in this industry. ”
After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, carefully recalling the previous events.
After a while, he put down the teacup and looked at Gong Jian: "Su Lao's matter, I also listened to the staff report to me after the incident. ”
Li Ming continued: "A month ago, a middle-aged man with a foreign accent came to the auction house to auction his family heirloom antiques. After the appraisal of our appraisers here, it was finally identified as a modern imitation. ”
Gong Jian listened to Li Ming's eloquent words and constructed the scene in his mind.
When the middle-aged man heard that it was a fake, he was stunned at first, and then furious. shouted loudly that this antique had been identified by Su Lao. It can't be a fake. ”
Li Ming picked up the teacup again and interjected with Gong Jian, "That appraiser is our gold medal appraiser here, and he has never made a mistake. “
He continued: "I couldn't believe it when I saw the middle-aged man, so the appraiser pointed out a few flaws in the antique to him one by one. “
He took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "When the appraiser pointed out the flaw, the middle-aged man seemed even more excited. He picked up the antique and looked through it carefully, and suddenly drank violently, this was not his family heirloom, his heirloom had been transferred. ”
At that time, his loud shout attracted many onlookers, and our staff had to come forward to persuade him. Later, the middle-aged man left with the fake antique. ”
Speaking of this, Li Ming ended his recollection, "What happened after that was what I read from the newspaper. The middle-aged man never came to the auction house again. Neither the police nor the journalists came to inquire about it again, and you were the first. ”
Gong Jian was very grateful to Li Mingneng for telling him the scene at that time, "Brother Li, what is that person's heirloom?"
"It is an antique vase from the previous dynasty, and although the imitation is similar in shape and color, the bottom section shows flaws. ”
Li Ming also had many doubts when he mentioned this matter, "I heard from the employee, looking at the performance of the middle-aged man, he should indeed not know that his vase was replaced with a fake." But apart from going to the newspaper and TV station, the man did not call the police at all, let alone go back to the auction house to verify the situation. ”
"So you think this is weird, don't you?" Gong Jian didn't expect Li Ming to have such a question.
"Yes, anyway, it was at the auction house. But reporters have bypassed the auction house. This is completely different from their previous way of doing things. ”
Gong Jian listened to Li Ming's words, and even more decided that Su Lao was framed by someone.
Without much hope, he asked Li Ming: "Brother Li, did that outsider leave an address?"
Li Ming stood up, took out a business card from the information box on his desk, and handed it to Gong Jian, "When that outsider came, he exchanged business cards with our staff. And when he left, the taxi he took was hailed by our staff. I happened to hear his destination, and he was likely staying at the Ocean Tide Hotel. ”
"Great," Gong Jian took the business card, "Brother Li, you really helped me a lot." “
Li Ming smiled and sat down again, "Everyone is a brother, why are you always so polite." By the way, was Unilever's annual project undertaken by your company? You may not know that I am still somewhat related to Unidon's chairman Li Zeguang. You see, it's not more of a family. “
Gong Jian raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that Li Ming in front of him actually had a relationship with the chairman of Unilever. There are so many people with the surname Li in the world, and there are actually a lot of them in their medium-sized city, and he actually met a family.
He smiled wryly, "Just now, we just evacuated all the workers and machinery on the construction site. Now Uniday's project has nothing to do with us. “
Li Ming was surprised, he was engaged in the profession of auction house, and people in various social circles were more familiar with it. He had heard that it was indeed Jianyong Construction that won the bid for Unilever's project.
How come it didn't take a few days to get negative news from Gong Jian's mouth. He couldn't help but doubt his intelligence network.
"So what the hell is going on? How did you evacuate from the construction site? Is there a conflict with Unilever?"
Gong Jian's reaction to this incident was also complicated, and at first, he was very angry when he heard that Unisky Group planned to break the contract.
After talking with Chairman Li, he understood their approach a little, although he himself did not agree. But within the scope of City A, the practice of uniting Litian can be regarded as a wise self-preservation.
And just now, after the farce he saw on the construction site, he was now a little worried in his heart. Univary Group has handed over such an important project to such a construction company, and the construction quality is not guaranteed at all.
Since Li Ming and the chairman of Unilever Group are relatives, Gong Jian feels the need to explain the situation. Of course, he just talked about the facts, and did not add his own feelings.
"On Monday, yesterday morning, our project manager reported to me that although we won the bid during the bidding process, Unisky refused to sign a contract with our company. “
Gong Jian thought of the adverse impact of this incident on the company, and his face couldn't help but darken.
"After that, I took the initiative to go to Chairman Li of Unisky Group. He only said that for some objective reasons, he had to refuse to cooperate with our company. “
Gong Jian continued to use it, and said in a one-by-one tone: "This morning, we withdrew the personnel and equipment on the construction site. In the process, a group of people who claimed to be from the Inspiring Construction Company appeared on the construction site. According to them, they have come to take over the construction site. ”
Speaking of this, Gong Jian stopped, he looked at Li Ming sincerely, hoping that the other party would understand that what he said was the truth.
"Judging from the behavior of the dozen or so workers, the management of the other company is relatively loose. I'm still a little worried about whether the project will go smoothly. ”
Gong Jian has beautified the other party's behavior. You must know that if you are a worker in your own company, don't say that playing cards is just chatting and gossiping, and you will be punished.
