The second part of "The Value of Art".

"That's right, Boss Joe. I shouldn't have said that, but I'm going to tell you anyway. The other party whispered.

"You say. I said.

"Boss Qiao, the pottery you sold us. We had a total of 63 auctions, and almost all of them were unsold in 61 auctions. Do you know what I mean?" the other whispered.

"What is an unsold auction?" I said.

"To put it simply, the auction was unsuccessful. The lot didn't sell, you can see that. The other party said.

"What does that mean?" I said.

"Because almost all auctions are unsuccessful, it means that the boss doesn't make any money from your pottery at all. I guess that's why the boss asked someone to pretend to be you for the auction, because he wanted to sell things at a reasonable price. The other party said.

"But have you ever wondered why your boss is still crazy about buying my pottery if it can't be auctioned off like this?" I said.

The other shook his head.

"Don't you think it's weird?" I said.

"I only found out about this yesterday, so I'll tell you now. The other party said.

I waved my hand and said, "I know all this, you can get out." ”

"If Boss Qiao still plans to sell pottery in the future, send it to this address. We're sending you the money, and we shouldn't be coming over. The other party trembled and placed a card on the table.

"Let's go. I said.

The other party ran to the two colleagues almost briskly and handed them two bank cards and documents.

Then the three of them left quickly.

I walked out the door and closed the storefront.

I found a fishing tackle shop, bought a fishing rod and tools, and waited for tomorrow.

I glanced at my clothes and wondered if I would be too shabby to approach the fishing boss.

In desperation, I went to the clothing store to change into a more fitting casual outfit.

Early in the morning, I went to Shangzhuang Reservoir, set up my equipment and started fishing.

One after another, I found that people were also coming here to fish, and there were more people than I could have imagined.

It seems that even if you find the boss, so many people will not be able to contact them alone.

Reluctantly, I picked up the fishing rod and was about to leave, but I just got up and noticed something strange.

None of these fishermen seem to be really fishing, very, very perfunctory.

Some don't even have bait, so they just throw it out. Then leaned back on the bench he had brought with him and began to rest, not at all like he had come to fish.

I slowly leaned over to one of them and said, "Brother, can you catch fish when you fish like this?"

The other party looked at me and said, "You are pretending to be old, and you still want to really come fishing?"

I was stunned and said, "Really, aren't you?"

The other party smiled and said: "I'm here for leisure, and it's not a problem if I can't catch it." ”

"A lot of people here seem to be like you, they don't care if they catch a fish. I said.

The other person looked at me and said, "What do you call it?"

"Jock. I said.

"Wherever you do business, you have found it here. The other party said with a smile.

"No, I'm here to fish. I said.

"Look at you, don't you know how many years you haven't had a real fisherman here? I've been here for two years, once a month. None of the people here are really here to fish, and I know you know better than I do. The other party said.

I was silent.

The other party said lightly: "Tell me, which one introduced you to? What do you do on weekdays?"

"Pottery. I said.

"How's the profit from this thing? Coming here at such a young age seems to make more money than me, a black car trader." Brother next time I invest to take my brother for a ride, how about my brother also take you here to visit the pier?"

I nodded.

"You can't really be the first time, are you? Come to think of it, I was also taken by someone to get acquainted with it step by step. Come on, put the chairs together and sit together. My surname is Chen, and they all call me Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen said.

I pulled over and sat down next to each other.

At this moment, a car slowly drove up.

I turned my head to see that it was a tiger head run full of 7s.

"Here he comes. I muttered.

"Looks like my brother knows the way here, of course. You'll understand better if I take you on a ride, just wait for you to stop talking and watch me come. Mr. Chen said.

"Don't speak?" I said.

"This thing is cooked and not raw. This boss Ma almost only takes business from acquaintances in this business, after all, the water is too deep inside. Mr. Chen said.

"Well, thank you. I said.

"Wait, do you want me to introduce you?" Brother Qiao?" said Mr. Chen.

"No need. I shook my head.

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "What's polite." ”

I just wanted to refute, but Mr. Chen shouted to the people in the car in the distance: "Mr. Hai, this side first." ”

The fat man in the car looked at this side with a smile and said, "It seems that the sun is big, and we Mr. Chen can't wait." ”

The fat man walked over in a few steps and said with a smile: "How much are you going to wash next time?" Wait, who is this one next to you?"

"My brother, he is a potter. The business is big, so I'll take him in the door. Mr. Chen said with a smile.

The fat man stretched out his hand and said, "This brother, what's your surname?"

I looked at the fat man in front of me, but I didn't dare to say a word.

Mr. Chen seemed to see something and said, "Okay, my brother is afraid of life." After all, business is difficult to do and money is hard to make, and he is also afraid. ”

The fat man smiled and said, "I can understand, it was not easy for me to start this business back then. ”

Mr. Chen said with a smile: "My two orders, 700,000." You take the mortgage fee of the unsuccessful auction, and give me the rest. ”

The fat man took out a stack of bank cards from his pocket, handed over the bank card with Mr. Chen's name and said, "Take care of my business." ”

"Of course. Mr. Chen collected the bank card and smiled.

The fat man glanced at me, handed over a business card and said, "This little brother who doesn't dare to say his name, do you want me to tell you about the doorway inside?"

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "It's really good that you are willing to say it, I'm afraid that what I said is not clear enough for my brother to misunderstand." ”

"You are an old customer, the brother you brought. Can I not receive it myself?" said the fat man, smiling.

I nodded my head and said, "Trouble." ”

My left hand reached into my pocket and pressed the one-touch recording of my new phone.

"I run an auction house in the center of Beijing, and the auction house has an interactive program with a TV station called Jianbao. Of course, you should have known about this for a long time, and you deposited your unsolicited money with me as an auction value. Then come and auction the item, and when you reach the desired price, you will auction the collection. Then apply for an unsuccessful auction, and I will charge a 15% penalty for the unsuccessful auction. Black money comes in, white money goes out, and it comes to you clean. The fat man said with a smile.

I nodded and turned off the recording.

"By the way, what's the name of this little brother? The fat man said with a smile.

"If the surname is Qiao, it's always good to call Qiao. Mr. Chen said.

"Do pottery, Mr. Qiao. I'll take notes, you wait. The fat man said with a smile and took out a notebook and pen from his pocket.

But as soon as he wrote a word, his brows furrowed. He looked at me and said, "Your name is Jock." ”

I thought in my head, the words of the three. The boss can appreciate your pottery and let us take it all.

"What? do you know?" said Mr. Chen with a smile.

The fat man reached out and grabbed me by the collar.

The next moment I shook off my shoulders and ran off into the distance.

The fat man yelled, "Catch him, he's got a problem." ”

In an instant, a bunch of people stood up and rushed towards me. It's not as fast as me, but it does make me nervous.

At this time, Tiger Head Ben actually drove over and approached me.

In desperation, I jumped off the reservoir.

。。。。。。

I'm good at water, but I also choke on a lot of water.

I don't know how long I swam, about half an hour.

I was almost exhausted and collapsed on the shore to be found.

There were more and more people around me, and I got up after choking a few bites.

People around me asked if I was okay, and I walked off into the distance.

At the entrance of the police station, I rushed in.

took out his mobile phone and removed the memory card, and shouted to the police: "The recording inside." ”

After saying that, he collapsed in a daze at the police station.

。。。。。。

(Postscript)

The matter relied on a paragraph, and the show was seized.

The fat man was imprisoned and handed in a small book in order to clear his suspicions.

A black money laundering network in Beijing has been completely unearthed.

My pottery shop closed down a month later because there was almost no business.

Although these pottery pieces are beautiful, they really can't be considered artists.

In a slaughterhouse in a city or town, I smiled and glanced at my glasses and grabbed the slaughtering knife in my hand.
