Chapter 13 Jean
"Okay, I'll contact you" Zhou Yan, as the art director of a retro auction house, has the most explanations with the museum, and naturally knows their related personnel, such as several experts in their auction house, who work in the museum themselves, and will only go out if the auction house is not sure.

"By the way, if their leader is a man named Hu Lai, then forget it, I don't want to deal with him, it's best to find a manager who is bigger than Hu Lai and has a grudge against Hu Lai" Zhou Tian saw Zhou Yan looking at his mobile phone, and told him uneasily.
In the final analysis, this matter is because of Hu Lai, if he hadn't wanted to swallow the money, the rest of the story wouldn't have happened.
"Okay, I know" Zhou Yan finished speaking, smiling at Zhou Tian.
It was only more than 30 minutes, when the two were chatting, the door was pushed, and several people walked in, and the one walking in front was a bald man in his early forties, slender and hairless, with a round pair of myopic glasses on his face that was thick enough to be the bottom of a wine bottle.
Zhou Tian estimated that the prescription of this pair of glasses was at least about 1,500 degrees, and on closer inspection, this person also had a slight cataract.
Nima, a 1,500-degree myopic eye, with a slight cataract, is a perfect match.
Behind him, followed by an old man in Tang costume, Zhou Tian knew, it was the porcelain expert who came to identify the Wufu painted vase that day, he couldn't remember the name, only the surname Chang.
……
Zhou Yan, who acted as the host, introduced each other: "This is Director Xu, who is in charge of the museum's porcelain group, and this is Zhou Tian."
"Hello, Director Xu," Zhou Tian said with his right hand.
"Hello, young man, I heard that you have a big surprise for us" Director Xu also stretched out his right hand and said, if this matter is true, then for him, it is a great credit, enough to suppress his opponent, and it is not impossible to go further.
"This is ......" Before Zhou Yan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Tian and Chang Lao at the same time, and said in unison: "Yan Yatou (Mr. Zhou), no need to introduce, the two of us know each other."
Everyone sat down separately, and Zhou Tian did not hide his plans, and went straight to the topic: "Director Xu, Chang Lao, this Wufu painted treasure vase, it can completely fill a gap in the museum, and at the same time avoid the loss of vases, I have an immature idea."
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to donate this vase to our museum" A young man suddenly interrupted Zhou Tian's words and stood up excitedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm a poor person, and I want to improve my life through this family heirloom, and besides, donating is also irresponsible."
"Mr. Zhou hopes that our museum can also participate in this auction and auction it off," Zhou Yan seemed to understand what Zhou Tian meant, and said with help.
"The key is that our museum also relies on the state's money, and I'm afraid it's really not the opponent of those rich collectors," Director Xu said with some embarrassment.
What he said is the truth, museums are all state grants, special funds, in addition to daily expenses, there is really no extra money to increase the collection, in the past you can also rely on tickets to add some funds, but now the tickets are free, there is no other way.
"Director Xu, I wonder if you can tell me how much money your museum has approved for this Wufu painted treasure vase?"
"It's about 200 million" Director Xu stretched out two fingers, twisted and pinched, and when everyone heard it, they all felt a little sore in the egg, a vase worth 500 million, you allocated 200 million, isn't this nonsense?
"Director Xu, I hope that in the retro auction, our museum can also participate, no matter how much money this vase is auctioned, we will settle it according to 200 million, what do you think?"
Zhou Tian's proposal made everyone stunned, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, the museum spent less money to buy the Wufu painted vase, for Director Xu, itself is a credit, a credit that can make him overwhelm Hu Lai further.
For Chang Lao, it doesn't matter whether the credit is or not, as long as the vase can enter the museum.
As far as retro is concerned, they themselves have earned a huge reputation in this auction, and they have entered the ranks of first-class auctions in China in one fell swoop, which is more useful than how much money they make.
The only one who suffered was probably only Zhou Tian, a vase of 500 million yuan, which could have been auctioned at a higher price, but he settled according to 200 million, and there was a gap of 300 million in the middle, 300 million, which was not a small amount, which made everyone present look up at him.
It's not that Zhou Tian is noble, but Zhou Tian made up his mind after careful consideration, don't look at his artifact in hand, but he is not the opponent of this junior official at the deputy section level.
Before becoming strong, you must maintain a good friendship with the other party, how to maintain friendship, to put it bluntly, is to let and give up your own interests, so you will say this, do this.
"Xiao Zhou, if this is really the case, I would like to thank you on behalf of the museum" Director Xu stood up abruptly and said excitedly.
"Because I believe that the museum is the best place to belong to the Wufu painted vase, and only in the hands of the museum can more people appreciate its beauty" Zhou Tian quietly patted a little fart of the museum.
After this incident, Zhou Yan's opinion of Zhou Tian completely changed, and a long-term cooperation agreement was signed, but to Zhou Yan's surprise, not long after the agreement was signed, they received Zhou Tian's commission again, a large commission worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which also established the hegemony of the retro auction house in China.
Not long after leaving from the retro, Zhou Tian returned to the express hotel he rented, lying lazily on the bed, thinking about his performance this afternoon, and he was also inspired. I don't know when, I suddenly became so atmospheric, and I didn't want 300 million huge sums of money.
After thinking about it, the phone rang, and Zhou Tian didn't look at it, and directly answered the channel: "That one"?
"Mr. Zhou, yes, I'm Hu Lai, we just talked on the phone two days ago."
"It turned out to be Director Hu, don't you know what to do with me" Zhou Tian didn't hang up Hu Lai's phone, but decided to listen, listen to what this old fox wanted to say, and then see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Mr. Zhou, I regret what happened at the police station this morning, and I will definitely investigate this matter to the end and give Mr. Zhou an explanation" Hu Lai on the other end of the phone said very justly.
"Huh".
"Mr. Zhou, I spoke in the wrong tone yesterday, I apologize to you here, and I want to talk to you about the vase" Hu Lai pulled the topic to the vase, maybe this is the purpose of his call.
