Chapter 486: A Mysterious Rich Merchant
In the second day, several heavyweight media in Hong Kong placed an exclusive interview with the Philippines in a prominent position on the front page, and also accompanied by a large photo of Taufi, and the two influential TV stations of Hong Kong TVBB and ATV aTVV also broadcast an exclusive interview with Taufei respectively, injecting a clear analysis point into the chaotic auction activities, so that the situation gradually became clearer.
Zuo Jiang sat on the sand in the large living room while watching the interview with Tao Fei on TV, and Tao Fei, Lu Shiming and Zhang Yaping finalized the details of the bidding plan for the last time, although Lu Shiming's bidding plan was already very detailed and perfect, but Zuo Jiang did not dare to take it lightly, especially the situation on the scene is changing rapidly, because Tao Fei and Lu Shiming's seats are not together, the code of communication between the two sides is particularly focused, and the auctioneer can complete it within 1 second of the hammer, if the communication is not smooth, It could be a failure!
According to the bidding plan, Tao Fei is in the light, Lu Shiming is in the dark, after entering the venue, the two sides pretend not to know each other, sit in their respective positions, Lu Shiming's 5 seats and Tao Fei are in the first row of the VIP seat, separated by 5 seats, and the communication is done with the pre-agreed code language gestures, in this case, the code language gestures must be clear and clear, so that the people on the side can understand what it means at a glance, and they can't let others feel it. In this way, the requirements for code language gestures are very high, and the auction will be held tomorrow, and the research focus of Zuo Jiang and several people tonight will be on these code language gestures.
There are three main code gestures set by Lu Shiming, and different code gestures are used in each of the three situations, and the code gestures are subject to Lu Shiming's left hand on the table. In the first case, when Tao Fei needed to increase the price significantly, Lu Shiming's left palm was spread out and placed vertically on the table. In the second case, after Lu Shiming was able to determine which person was the secret hand of the auction house, he clenched his left hand into a fist and signaled to Tao Fei after the person made a bid.
The third situation is that when Lu Shiming wants to bid to suppress the secret hand, his left hand is arched out and placed on the table, and Tao Fei will not increase the price at this time.
Although the three gestures set by Lu Shiming are clear and simple to implement, Zuo Jiang always feels that there are still inappropriateness, because although the situation at the auction site changes, people's psychology will be affected by this tense atmosphere, and as soon as the psychology of people and the earth changes, they will unconsciously make some subconscious actions, such as clenching their fists, spreading their palms or slapping the table, which is likely to cause visual misunderstanding, which is very unsafe.
Of course, Zuo Jiang put forward his own point of view at the beginning of the research, Lu Shiming, Tao Fei and Zhang Yaping also felt that Zuo Jiang was reasonable, and felt that it was necessary to change to a safer way, so everyone thought about what method to use instead, and each came up with some methods, but everyone felt that it was not feasible as soon as they researched, and the scene fell silent for a while.
If you can't think of it for the time being, it's better to relax, Zuo Jiang turned on the TV and wanted everyone to relax together, and it just so happened that the TV was playing an interview with Tao Fei. After watching the interview, Tao Fei looked at Zuo Jiang and said, "Do you think our method can attract the attention of those mysterious rich businessmen and form a tacit understanding with us?" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "I want to attract their attention to this is inevitable, but it is difficult to say whether they can form a tacit understanding with us, it depends on what they think after reading these reports, or how they deal with this matter." Since the term "mysterious rich businessmen" has been formed, they are reluctant to show up in public for various reasons, and it is impossible to contact us, maybe some of them have the same idea as us, that is, they are determined to win, and the situation will be difficult to control when they arrive at the auction site, but I hope they can take a step back and avoid killing each other for the same wish, as we think! ”
Taufei sighed lightly and said, "I hope so! ”
Zuo Jiang smiled and said, "Sister." You don't have to worry about it. It's just a matter of spending a little more money. That's not a drop in the bucket for us. I just don't want to cheapen those bastards who take advantage of the fire. If there is an uncontrollable situation at the auction site. Just throw money into it. Smashed until they trembled. ”
Lu Shiming said: "This is the last way to do it. Although it is not excluded that this situation is possible. But I still don't want to see that happen. We can only do our best to recommend the situation to the good side. ”
"Hmm!" Tao Fei nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way!" ”
At this time, Zuo Jiang saw Zhang Yaping writing something on a piece of paper with a black pen. There was also a dark red fountain pen on the tea table. My heart moved. Immediately, a good idea came to mind. He said excitedly: "Manager Lu, sister." I thought of a good way to do it! ”
"How?" Lu Shiming was still immersed in the conversation just now. Zuo Jiang said this coldly. His mind didn't switch back for a while. Confused
Sentence.
Zuo Jiang was not excited, and he smiled and said: "Of course, it is a code language method to transmit information at the auction site!" ”
"Ahh That's it! Lu Shiming exclaimed in amazement and hurriedly said: "What a good way, let's hear it, I'm about to go crazy with this thing!" ”
Seeing that Zhang Yaping also raised her head and wanted to hear what the method was, Zuo Jiang said: "This method was suddenly thought of when I watched Mr. Zhang write just now, Sister Zhang's desk now has a black and red pen, I suddenly thought that using the color of the pen to set our code words will not make mistakes!" ”
Zuo Jiang took a sip of tea and said: "We can prepare red, black and blue pens, when we need to increase the price significantly, Manager Lu will pick up the red pen, and the hidden hand of the auction company will take the black one, and Manager Lu will pick up the blue one when he wants to increase the price, under normal circumstances, these three pens are placed on the table, and only pick them up when they need to pass on information, so that there will be no misunderstanding!" ”
Lu Shiming thought for a while and said in admiration: "This method is good!" The method is simple, the meaning is clear, and it will not attract the attention of others! But in order to prevent unexpected situations, we can prepare a few more sets of pens in case of emergency! ”
Tao Fei also said happily: "Yes, as long as Manager Lu takes a pen of what color I have, I will understand what it means, and I don't have to always stare at his movements, just sweep the afterglow of my eyes." ”
Zhang Yaping said: "It's still Zuo Shao's smartness, this method is too good!" I didn't think about this aspect when I used a pen to write here, but Zuo Shao thought of this method at once! ”
Although Zhang Yaping's top hat was very obvious, Zuo Jiang's heart was still quite useful, and he glanced at everyone and said, "Since everyone agrees, we will use this method tomorrow!" ”
In the luxury suite of Shangri-La Hotel, two middle-aged men were also watching an interview with Tao Fei on aTVV, and one of the middle-aged men said to another middle-aged man while watching TV: "Mr. Ding, what do you think of such a high-profile statement by Mr. Tao of the Harry Potter Group?" ”
Mr. Ding said while staring at the TV: "Manager Wang, Harry Potter Group is an extremely influential and well-known company in China, its pharmaceutical company has seized the prime-time advertising of CCTV for three consecutive years, and its company's reputation in China is also excellent. ”
Manager Wang said: "But as far as I know, the Harry Potter Group seems to be a foreign-funded company, even if they rescue national treasures for us for some kind of commercial gain, but a foreign-funded company takes on the responsibility of saving the country, isn't it a slap in the face of our people?" ”
Mr. Ding said: "You are a little lonely, I have already called and communicated with the ministry in the morning, and the ministry has learned through special channels that the American Harry Potter Financial Investment Company invested in the company is a Chinese company, that is to say, the Harry Potter Group is registered as a Chinese company, and the background is also a pure Chinese company." ”
Mr. Ding glanced at Manager Wang beside him and said, "You may not know who this general manager of the Harry Potter Group is Tao Fei, right?" Seeing that Manager Wang nodded and said that he didn't know, Mr. Ding continued: "She is the only daughter of Tao Yong, Secretary of the Songjiang Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Tao is a member of the Politburo, and the political power of the Tao family is also very important in the whole country, some time ago it was rumored that he is likely to go further, but for various reasons temporarily put it down, this time they got the support of the Lingnan Ye family, it seems that Tao Yong is already unstoppable to go further!" ”
Manager Wang was shocked and said, "I see! Seeing that Mr. Ding didn't say anything further, he continued, "Mr. Ding, do you have any instructions from the ministry?" ”
Mr. Ding said: "The ministry said that since the Harry Potter Group bravely stood up to take on this great responsibility, then we can act at the opportunity, but there is one thing that must be done, that is, we must not let the national treasure be lost abroad again!" ”
"Oh!" Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "Then our trip will be much easier!" ”
Mr. Ding said: "But we must not take it lightly, any situation at the auction can happen, we must be fully prepared, and we must be resolute and decisive when necessary!" ”
"Yes, yes, what Mr. Ding said is, we must be fully prepared!" Manager Wang hurriedly nodded and said.
In fact, on the eve of this auction, many luxury hotels in Hong Kong have the same scene, but the protagonists are different, but what they have in common is that they are all here for the auction of the bronze beast of the Old Summer Palace!
