After breakfast, Tang Ming and Tony went out with a few security personnel, as for Cornelia, she didn't want to go out and wanted to stay at home to take care of Xue'er.

The car drove all the way to Sotheby's office in the capital, Andy searched for a long time, and finally found a vacant space to park, and the car with security personnel in the back was still looking for a parking space.

Getting out of the car, Tang Ming smiled at Tony and said, "That's where we met. ”

Tony looked at the familiar and unfamiliar building in front of him, and sighed: "Yes, it's been three or four years in a flash, you were still a poor dick at that time, and you couldn't close your mouth in surprise when you heard that diamonds could be sold for tens of millions of dollars, who would have thought that you could now become the world's top richest man, and your influence exceeds that of most heads of state." ”

Tang Ming scolded with a smile: "Are you praising me, or are you exposing my shortcomings?"

Tony pretended to be puzzled and asked, "I'm complimenting you, don't you hear?"

"Okay, just like you're complimenting me. Tang Ming said, "Let's go, don't talk here, go in and talk about it." ”

Walking to the door of the Sotheby's office, there were already people waiting for them.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Parker, welcome to me, I am the manager here, my name is Zhang Junhao. ”

Zhang Junhao is in his thirties, a few years older than Tang Ming and Tony, and he is very enthusiastic to see them.

It's not good if you're not enthusiastic, don't talk about Tang Ming, it's just that Tony is now a super-rich man worth billions of dollars, and he is just the manager of Sotheby's capital office, although he is a successful person compared to most of his peers, but compared to Tang Ming and Tony, he seems insignificant.

"Manager Zhang, hello. Tang Ming stretched out his hand and shook it with him.

"It's not been a few years since Manager Zhang joined Sotheby's, right?" asked Tony as he shook his hand.

Zhang Junhao said: "Yes, Mr. Parker, I joined after Mr. Parker left Sotheby's, and it has been less than three years now, and I often hear my colleagues mention Mr. Parker, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Parker today, which is a great honor." ”

"I'm honored too. Tony said, "Let's go inside." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm so excited, I'm a little rude, Mr. Tang, Mr. Parker, please. Zhang Junhao said and made a gesture of please, and then led the way in front.

Led Tang Ming and Tony to his office, invited Tang Ming and Tony to sit down, and asked, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Tony, what do you want to drink?"

Tang Ming said: "You can have anything to do, I'm not too picky about drinking." ”

Tony said, "I'm the same, anything. ”

"Sit down for a moment, and I'll get a drink." Zhang Junhao turned around and came back with a bottle of champagne and three glasses, and handed it to Tang Ming and Tony.

After drinking champagne and chatting a few words, we got to the point.

Tang Ming said: "Manager Zhang already knows our intentions. ”

"I know, Mr. Tang has built a Chinese garden and needs some calligraphy, paintings and porcelain to decorate, and I have prepared some for Mr. Tang, so I will let people bring them. After Zhang Junhao finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was a knock on the door, Zhang Junhao confessed to Tang Ming and Tony, got up and went to open the door.

Three people came in through the door, each holding a couple of boxes.

"Come, put it on the table. Zhang Junhao greeted, and they placed the boxes in front of Tang Ming and Tony in turn.

Zhang Junhao opened the box and introduced Tang Ming.

There are many calligraphy and paintings, from the Song Dynasty to modern times, and there are only three pieces of porcelain, all of which are from the Song Dynasty.

Tang Ming didn't know much about these things, but after listening to Zhang Junhao's explanation, he felt that these calligraphy, paintings and porcelain were not bad, they were all treasures and had collection value, but it was a pity that there were no too valuable ones.

Tang Ming inquired about the price, and the seven calligraphy and paintings and the three pieces of porcelain were worth 38 million yuan together.

Tang Ming didn't hesitate, waved his hand and said, "I want it." ”

"Okay, Mr. Tang. Zhang Junhao was stunned for a moment, he thought that Tang Ming would only buy some of them, but he didn't expect Tang Ming to ask for them all, but he immediately reacted and nodded in agreement.

When Zhang Junhao ordered his subordinates to pack, Tang Ming said: "Manager Zhang, I need a lot of calligraphy, painting and porcelain, I don't know if you still have it here, the price is easy to say, I won't let you suffer." ”

"Mr. Tang, this is all I can take out now, I can't do anything more, if Mr. Tang wants to buy, you can participate in our auction. Zhang Junhao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If Tang Ming had time to participate in the auction, he would not have traded with Sotheby's in private, although he was not very satisfied with the gains of this trip, but since Zhang Junhao had said so, he could not force it.

After the calligraphy, painting and porcelain were installed, Tang Ming and Tony took their leave.

Zhang Junhao led three people and sent them outside with the box.

When his subordinates were loading the car, Zhang Junhao walked up to Tang Ming and whispered: "Mr. Tang, I know some collectors who can buy some calligraphy, paintings and porcelain from them. ”

Tang Ming glanced at him and immediately understood what he meant, he wanted to leave Sotheby's behind and be a middleman himself.

Tang Ming thought about it for a moment and said: "Yes, if you can help me buy it, I won't treat you badly, but you have to ensure the quality and price, let me buy a fake, or treat me as a wronged ......"

"No, no, Mr. Tang, how dare I fool you, I don't dare to lend me ten guts, Mr. Tang, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter." Zhang Junhao reassured again and again.

"Well, I trust you, this is the business card of one of my assistants, if there is news, you can call her and she will inform me. Tang Ming asked Andy to take out Geng Xin's business card and hand it to Zhang Junhao.

Zhang Junhao solemnly put it away and said, "Mr. Tang, I will get in touch as soon as possible, more, Mr. Tang, in addition to calligraphy, painting and porcelain, do you need other antiques?"

Tang Ming thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about this, but as long as I can decorate the garden, I can do it." ”

Zhang Junhao said: "I understand, I will help Mr. Tang choose well." ”

After Tang Ming and Tony left in the car, Zhang Junhao stood in place for a while before walking back.

This time on Tang Ming's boat, it was an unexpected surprise for him, he didn't know Tang Ming very well, but he knew that Tang Ming was a very rich and super-rich man, he looked at Tang Ming's attitude when he bought calligraphy, paintings and porcelain today, and he knew that Tang Ming had a lot of demand for these things, so he took the risk and offered to help Tang Ming buy calligraphy, paintings and porcelain, but there was no accident, Tang Ming agreed, and his opportunity came.

Back in the office, he took out his phone and began to contact collectors he knew.
