When Jiang was pondering with the newspaper, he was a little impatient to sell the newspaper: Buy it! If you want to buy it, you can pay for it, and if you don't buy it, don't look at it again! ”

Zuo Jiang was not only a little annoyed by the name of the newspaper seller, but Li Juncheng stepped forward and handed the newspaper a 10 Hong Kong dollar note, picked up another newspaper and said, "I want two copies!" The newspaper seller was silent when he saw that someone was paying, and opened the wallet tied around his waist to find money for Li Juncheng.

encountered this important event, Zuo Jiang didn't have the heart to go shopping anymore, but fortunately, he had already bought a lot of things, and entered the café to greet Bai Lu to go back. Zuo Jiang bought so many things for Bai Lu at one time, her heart was both happy and worried, she knew that Zuo Jiang was rich, but she didn't expect to be so rich, 220,000 Hong Kong dollars of diamond chest ornaments said that she bought 6 pieces at once, and then these thousands of Hong Kong dollars a piece of clothing and cosmetics seemed a little insignificant.

Drove to the hotel where Bai Lu lived, Zuo Jiang said to Bai Lu: "Sister Bai Lu, I have something to deal with today, so I can't continue to accompany you, I may not have time to send you back to China the day after tomorrow, and I will go to Shanghai to see you when I have time after I return to China!" ”

Zuo Jiang spent so much money for Bai Lu at one time, Bai Lu now wants to be with Zuo Jiang and is afraid to be with him, Zuo Jiang said this just to avoid her embarrassment and embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "If you have something to do, you can be busy, don't worry about me, but remember to go to Shanghai to see me!" ”

"Definitely!" Zuo Jiang nodded and said. Then let Li Juncheng help Bai Lu send things upstairs.

After returning to the Victoria Hotel, the first thing Zuo Jiang did when he returned to the room was to call Tao Fei, and no one answered the phone in her office for a long time, so he pulled out her mobile phone.

After the phone rang five or six times, Tao Fei answered the phone, and Zuo Jiang heard that the voice on the phone was very noisy and accompanied by the roar of machinery, so he said loudly: "Sister, I am Zuo Jiang, where are you?" ”

Tao Fei was obviously very surprised when she heard Zuo Jiang's call, but the voice was too mixed and she seemed to be a little inaudible, so she said loudly: "I'm at the construction site, the sound here is too loud and I can't hear it clearly, you wait a minute, I'll answer the phone in the car." ”

After a while, Tao Fei's voice came from the phone again, and the noisy voice was much quieter, Tao Fei said: "Little brother, I am at the construction site of the group building, I have already booked a plane ticket for tomorrow, and I will go to Hong Kong with Yang Guangzhi and others, do you have anything else here?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "That's right. I saw a piece of news in the newspaper in Hong Kong today. Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses will auction three bronze beast statues of the Old Summer Palace on the 18th. This is a national treasure of our country. We cannot afford to see national treasures lost again. So. I would like to ask you to bid on the name of the Harry Potter Group of Companies. To ensure the success of the auction. We have to be prepared in advance. ”

Tao Fei heard Zuo Jiang say that this was the case. His expression immediately became serious. China has also received news that Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses are going to auction three Old Summer Palace bronze beasts in Hong Kong. It immediately aroused great indignation among the people of the whole country. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent an urgent note to the British and French Ambassadors to China. We solemnly protested against this bandit and expressed our firm opposition. Radio, television and newspapers have published protest articles. There were also university students and social groups who marched in front of the British and French embassies to protest and demonstrate. Patriotic sentiment is at an all-time high.

Taufei was also very angry when he heard the news. But angry and angry, she didn't think she would be able to solve this problem. After all, this matter is very far away from her. Zuo Jiangdi's words suddenly mobilized her heart. That's right! We cannot control the will of the British and French governments. But we have money. We can pay for the national treasure!

Tao Fei said excitedly: "Little brother. I'm so excited about your decision. I wanted to do something about it before. But I didn't think of such a direct solution. You say. What do you need from my side? ”

Zuo Jiang thought for a while and said, "I don't understand the rules of Hong Kong land auctions. But I think the most fundamental thing about auctions is money. Such. Tomorrow you will bring more people from the company to Hong Kong. What is the composition of the personnel? You can bring financial, legal and security professionals. Just have Citibank international cash cheques ready. I asked a friend about the specific matters of the Hong Kong auction venue. Necessary and when. We can invite lawyers and professional bidders in Hong Kong. The local people you bring are mainly responsible for the early registration, verification and other matters. Make sure we can participate in this auction. ”

Taufei said, "Good land." I'll arrange this right away. Let's see if we can find someone who understands and consult. It would be better if you could find it! Come on. Pressed for time. I won't say more to you. We'll see you tomorrow in Hong Kong! ”

Zuo Jiang put down Tao Fei's phone and immediately called Meng Chong, it was directly called his mobile phone, and the phone rang a few times before it was connected: "Hello Chairman Meng, I am Zuo Jiang."

Things need your help. ”

As soon as Meng Chong heard that it was Zuo Jiang's call, he immediately smiled and said, "It's Zuo Shao, what do you need me to do?" As long as I can help, I will do my best! ”

Zuo Jiang said: "That's right, I need to consult the rules and some precautions of Hong Kong auctions, the matter is very urgent, I would like to ask you to find a professional for me to give me guidance." ”

Meng Chong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that Zuo Jiang wanted to find an auction professional, although Zuo Jiang did not say what to do, but Meng Chong has been in the business sea for many years, and he understood Zuo Jiang's meaning when he heard it, although Meng Chong has long been a Hong Kong citizen, but he is an authentic Chinese, with a strong national consciousness in his heart, after learning that Christie's and Sotheby's were going to jointly auction the bronze beast of the Old Summer Palace, his first thought was to buy it, as long as the bronze beast statue regarded as a national treasure in China was donated to the Chinese government in return, In the future, he will inevitably get the attention of the government when he does business in the big 6, and he has now won the reputation of a patriot. Now that he heard that Zuo Jiang was going to participate in this matter, after weighing it, he decided to fully support Zuo Jiang.

Meng Chong said with a smile: "There is an auction company under our group, and the company manager Lu Shiming is both a professional auctioneer and an excellent bidder, now I will call him to you, if there is anything, you just have to tell him!" ”

Zuo Jiang repeatedly thanked him before putting down the phone. In less than half an hour, the doorbell in Zuo Jiang's room rang. Zuo Jiang stepped forward and opened the door to see that there was a middle-aged man in his forties standing outside the door, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his white face, giving people the first impression that he was shrewd and capable.

The middle-aged man looked at Zuo Jiang and said, "It's Zuo Shao, my name is Lu Shiming, it was Chairman Meng who asked me to come here, if you have anything to do, just give me orders!" ”

Seeing that Lu Shiming was so polite, Zuo Jiang knew that Meng Chong must have given him a special explanation, so he warmly stepped forward to shake hands with him and greet him and invited him to the living room. Dalong made two cups of tea and returned to his room.

Zuo Jiang made a gesture of please and said, "Manager Lu, please drink tea!" ”

Lu Shiming took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at Zuo Jiang and said, "Zuo Shao, I heard Chairman Meng say that you want to consult about the auction?" ”

Zuo Jiang saw that Lu Shiming was so anxious that he couldn't be too anxious, so he said: "Yes, don't hide it from Manager Lu, No. 18 Christie's and Sotheby's are going to jointly auction the bronze beast statue of the Old Summer Palace, I am interested in participating in this auction, but I don't understand the auction rules in Hong Kong, so I ask Manager Lu to introduce me to this aspect." ”

"Okay!" Lu Shi nodded and began to introduce some rules and precautions of Hong Kong auction houses to Zuo Jiang, he picked the key points, and said it very easy to understand, Zuo Jiang understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. Hong Kong's auction rules are simple and simple, complicated and complicated. The simple is that whether it is a company or an individual, as long as you have enough money to participate in the bidding, it is complicated, that is, the procedures for participating in the auction are very complicated, if the first person who participates in the auction does not understand the guidance, just signing up for verification of this set of procedures is enough for you to have a headache, and a little negligence, you may make a mistake, in the case of tight time, the direct consequence may miss the auction!

Zuo Jiang nodded and said: "Thank you very much Manager Lu for explaining the auction rules to me in detail, but I understand that the rules are one thing, and participating in the auction is another, I can implement it and tell you that the purpose of our participation in the auction this time is to ensure that these three bronze beast statues are auctioned, and people like us who have no bidding experience are likely to make major mistakes, therefore, I would like to ask Manager Lu to guide us throughout this bidding, in addition to the normal commercial remuneration, I will also pay you an additional bonus!" ”

Lu Shiming hurriedly said: "Zuo Shao, you are so polite, you and our Chairman Meng are friends, he has clearly told me before coming, as long as you need something, I will help free of charge, as for the gratuity and bonuses, it will be exempted, if I accept Chairman Meng, I will open me!" ”

Zuo Jiang saw that Lu Shiming was so bad that he could talk about the issue of honorarium, so he waved his hand and said to him: "I won't talk about the issue of remuneration first, and then I will talk about it when I meet Chairman Meng, what I want to know is, what do we do in the first step?" ”

Lu Shiming asked, "Do you bid in the name of an individual or in the name of a company?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "We are bidding in the name of the Harry Potter Group of Companies in Songjiang. I have already contacted the group company and they will be in Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon. ”

Lu Shiming said: "First of all, you have to let the company prepare all the company-related information and proof of funds, after these things are ready, you can leave the rest to me, as long as your company has enough funds, I guarantee that you can bid for these three bronze beast statues!" ”
