Chapter 196: One of the best in the world

ps: The third update, the last three days of the month, ask for monthly pass support.

"Mr. Qi, where are you now?"

In the mobile phone, the voice of the huge boss continued to stammer: "That invitation, calligraphy and painting awards......"

"Boss Pang, I'm already in Jinling now."

Qi Xiang didn't bother to go around in circles, and directly interrupted: "Do you have something you want me to talk about, make an appointment and place, let's meet." ”

"Uh...... Okay, good ......" The huge boss was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Where are you in Dajinling now, I will go over to pick you up immediately......"

Qi Xiang casually reported the address, and after waiting for about half an hour, a luxury car drove slowly downstairs in the hotel. After the waiter reported it, he walked down.

As soon as he went out, Qi Xiang was surprised to find that the huge boss was sitting in the car, and when he saw him coming out, he hurriedly got out of the car and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Qi, how are you doing lately?" ”

"It's been months, and it's been ...... recently"

Qi Xiang complained in his heart, but on the surface, he gave face, and responded with a smile: "Boss Tuopang, your blessing is quite passable." ”

“…… Brother Qi, be humble, be humble. The huge boss said abruptly, but his heart was panicked, what... Thanks to me, it's okay...... Earned millions of Lao Tzu, can you still get by?

"Forget it, if you ask for someone, bear with it."

The huge boss decided to hold his breath, squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother Qi, this is not the place to talk. Let's go, let's go eat......"

Qi Xiang was as good as a stream, and followed the huge boss into a luxury car. The car started slowly, then drove onto the wide, straight avenue and blended in with the rolling traffic.

At this time, the sky was pitch black, and there was no starlight and moon, but in Jinling City, it was a brightly lit city that never sleeped. Countless lights, blooming all over the city, illuminate every corner of the city.

Qi Xiang looked at the lights on the side of the road through the car window, and the lights flickered, as if there was no end.

"Ahem......"

At this time, the huge boss couldn't help but speak, and asked, "Mr. Qi, I heard that ...... Are you from Jinling? ”

"Sort of."

Qi Xiang turned his head and glanced at the huge boss, and admitted: "I have lived in Jinling for two or three years. It's relatively familiar. At least you won't get lost and can't find a place. ”

"Okay, great."

The huge boss was suddenly overjoyed, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I really didn't find the wrong person......

"Huh?"

Qi Xiang's heart moved, but he held back his curiosity and didn't take the initiative to ask.

The huge boss waited for a while, and found that Qi Xiang didn't continue his words, so he was naturally a little depressed. This guy is really cunning, he won't take the bait......

The huge boss sighed in his heart. smiled and said: "Brother Qi has lived in Jinling for many years, so he must be not shallow." ”

"It's hard to say, I know some people, but I can't say it. The friendship is very deep. Qi Xiang said truthfully: "Between peers, give each other a face, it can be regarded as taking care of each other." ”

"Yes, yes......" The huge boss thought deeply.

The so-called friendship. It's never as good as profit. He always firmly believes that even if it is a friend of life and death, in the face of irresistible interests. It is estimated that there will be a separation between life and death.

The essence of the huge boss is still a businessman. Even if he is engaged in a cultural business, his words and deeds may be very elegant and his knowledge is not bad, but the way he thinks about problems is still the temperament of a businessman.

For him, interests come first, and with enough benefits, he can endure the anger of the moment, and even lose face. So no matter how much he resented Qi Xiang in his heart for earning his millions, he would now smile and receive him politely.

And the place of reception is not ordinary.

It was a glittering restaurant with a crystal palace-like shape. As soon as he entered the door, the bright lights were shining, and Qi Xiang didn't dare to look up, lest he dazzle his eyes. He walked into the wing room step by step in the most pious posture, and only then did he feel better.

"Come on, come on, sit down, you're welcome."

The huge boss completely regarded himself as the master here, and greeted warmly: "Brother Qi, is there anything taboo...... Oh, I forgot again, Jinling is cooked, you can order food. ”

Qi Xiang was not polite, picked up the menu, and only ordered the expensive ones.

Seeing this, the huge boss smiled even more happily, waved his hand, and asked the waiter to serve the food according to the menu, and then opened a bottle of aged Moutai first, poured a cup for Qi Xiang, and handed it over with both hands.

"Brother Qi, come and taste it, this is an authentic puree, not a thing to confuse people."

The huge boss also poured himself a glass of wine, and then raised it up and signaled: "Drink first for ......"

Although Qi Xiang doesn't like to drink very much, he must admit that the taste of this Moutai puree is indeed a little different. Needless to say, the key is not to warm up.

Qi Xiang took a sip, put down the cup, and asked straight to the point: "Boss Pang, we can be regarded as acquaintances, so we might as well open the skylight and say something." You invited me to dinner this time, it's not just as simple as catching up, right? ”

"Cough, Brother Qi, this matter is not in a hurry, there is no hurry......"

The huge boss smiled and said, "If there is anything, let's talk about it after dinner." ”

"It's okay......"

Qi Xiang doesn't care, he has taken the initiative in this matter, and he is not short of patience. He accompanied the huge boss with two glasses of wine, and the waiter of the restaurant rushed in and served plates of steaming delicacies.

The dishes are good, but compared to Tian Shi, they must be a lot worse.

Therefore, Qi Xiang is very calm, and he is not greedy for this tongue, he moves his chopsticks from time to time to eat a few bites, and most of the time he chats nonsense with the huge boss.

Chatting and chatting, the huge boss changed his words and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, I heard that there is a famous appraiser in Jinling City, surnamed Wei, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Wei Ye ......."

"I don't know this person, do you recognize him?"

As soon as Qi Xiang heard it, he knew that the topic was coming.

"Wei Ye ......"

Hearing this name, Qi Xiang was in a trance, and immediately smiled: "Boss Pang, if you want to talk about others, I may not know you." But this Wei Ye, I can really talk to each other and deal with it a few times. ”

"I knew I wasn't looking for the wrong person."

The huge boss was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly poured wine and said, "Brother Qi." Or are you well-connected, worthy of being the head of the land...... Ahem, there's a way. Come, let's go one more. ”

"Not busy......"

Qi Xiang put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Boss Pang, this meal is almost finished, let's talk about it quickly if you have something." If it's okay, then thank you for your hospitality, I'll go first......"

"Brother Qi, Brother Qi......"

The huge boss hurriedly stopped. Stretched out his hand to press Qi Xiang's shoulder, and said with a very kind smile: "If you have something to say, in fact, I didn't mean to sell Guanzi, but this is just a ...... It's a bit presumptuous. ”

"How?" Qi Xiang said curiously: "As far as I know, Wei Ye is a bold person and likes to make friends. Boss Pang, if you have anything, go directly to visit, and Wei Ye will not be surprised. ”

"No, no, no, it's ......"

The huge boss hesitated and said, "This is ...... It's hard to say. It's not good to say ...... to your face."

While speaking, the huge boss paused, and suddenly asked: "Brother Qi, you should know the details of the year-end calligraphy and painting awards, right?" ”

"This ...... I have some understanding. ”

Qi Xiang's expression was a little more serious: "This big award." Although it is jointly organized by major collectors and museums across the country, in fact, it should be privately sponsored and supported by major auction companies, mainly to warm up for next year's spring auction. Something on the big prize. It is likely to appear at next year's spring auctions......"

"Yes, that's it."

The huge boss nodded and said, "We also have a few things in Xuzhai, and we will auction them at a certain company next year." So let's take it now to do the promotion work, so that everyone can evaluate it clearly and be mentally prepared. ”

"That's a good thing."

Qi Xiang nodded, revealing a little confusion at the right time: "However, what does this have to do with Wei Ye?" ”

"Ahem, it didn't matter originally, but then it was related."

The huge boss hesitated, and then said softly: "Brother Qi, you don't know anything. The calligraphy and painting award has not officially started on the surface, but in private, those of us who take things to participate have already seen everything. ”

"Oh?" Qi Xiang's eyes flashed, and he understood a little: "Is it Wei Ye, who also brought something to participate?" ”

"Yes, yes......" The huge boss nodded again and again, with a look of longing in his eyes: "The thing he brought is simply a ......, a rare treasure in the world." ”

"Wei Ye is a famous connoisseur, a big collector, and it is normal to have good things on hand."

Qi Xiang smiled, and vaguely understood the purpose of the huge boss, and asked directly: "Boss Pang, do you want to take a fancy to Wei Ye's thing, and want to take it down before the calligraphy and painting award begins?" ”

"Smack!"

The huge boss slapped his thigh and shouted, "Brother Qi, you are tall, you can see through my mind at a glance." ”

"That's right, that's what I thought. After all, you also know that once the calligraphy and painting awards start, other people see that thing, and someone likes it, what should I do if they compete with me? ”

The huge boss didn't hide it either, and said frankly: "So I plan to strike first." However, I'm in Jinling, I don't know anyone, and I can't get along with Wei Ye. It's not easy to come to the door so rashly. ”

"I called back and asked a few old-timers for advice, but Sun Lao woke me up, he said that you are from Jinling, maybe you have a friendship with Wei Ye, so ......"

The huge boss rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "That's why it took some trouble, please come over for a visit, Brother Qi." ”

"I see." Qi Xiang finally understood the ins and outs of this matter.

"Brother Qi, I often say that I don't look at the face of the monk but look at the face of the Buddha."

At the same time, the huge boss also pleaded: "There may not be this friendship between you and me." But for the sake of Sun Lao's affection, please help me with this, and I will thank you. ”

"Hmmm......"

Qi Xiang groaned and nodded slightly: "This matter...... It's not hard. My face is not so big, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to persuade Wei Ye to give things to you, but the matchmaking work is still competent......" (to be continued......
