Meng Ya nodded, turned on the monitor next to the door, and saw that there was no one outside the door, and there was only a black package on the ground, with the courier number on it.

That's when I asked her to open the door and bring the package in. She handed the package to me, and I looked at it, and it was the size of a shoebox, and there was no sender information on it.

I took out a small fruit knife from the kitchen, opened the rubber strip, opened the black skin, and looked closely, it turned out to be an auction catalogue of such and such an auction company. The cover of the book is printed with a Qing Kangxi blue and white colorful March peach blossom cup, and the preview time is tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. An invitation letter is also attached to it.

"Hello, Mr. Qiu Tong. The auction company invites you to participate in the autumn auction at the Beijing International Hotel Conference Center. ”

I looked at the invitation and set it aside. Meng Ya let out a sigh: "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be the auction catalogue." ”

She sat down on the bed, took off her clothes, and looked me in the eye. I smiled and looked at her, "Why are you looking at me like a resentful woman?" ”

She said angrily: "I was in a good mood, but I was in no mood when I was interrupted by this guy." ”

I walked up to her side and hugged her: "Good food is not afraid of being late." ”

She slapped me on top and lay down on the bed with me.

The next day, I was falling asleep when Monya woke me up.

"Eh, get up. Didn't you say last night that you were going to the International Hotel to see the preview of ***? ”

I looked at her sleepily: "I don't want to go, I'm very tired and uncomfortable by you." ”

She snorted when she heard me: "You guy, you are cheap and good." ”

I sat up and stretched, got dressed, and folded the quilt. We had some breakfast casually, and Mengya drove the two of us to Jianguomen.

The road from Shili River to Jianguomen was very congested, and we went out at about a quarter past eight o'clock, and it was almost ten o'clock before we came downstairs to the conference center of the Beijing International Hotel. After parking the car, we went downstairs and took the elevator up to the exhibition hall on the second floor. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I heard a lot of people scolding the street outside.

"You're just a bunch of liars trying to delay time by tricking me out of my stuff? If you don't give me my things, I'll mess with you, so that everyone in the industry knows who you are and what company you are. ”

"Fuck, don't spill here. I told you that I would solve it for you after the auction, and you still want to mess up our auction, right? If you don't leave, I'll call the security guard. ”

I saw that the group was very noisy, and there were many people around me, and I walked over and saw a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes sitting on the ground. Opposite him stood a middle-aged man in a suit with slightly chubby eyes, and the two were scolding each other.

I walked over, and the fat man saw me and Mengya coming over and hurriedly greeted me: "Hall Master Qiu, hey, you are here, I have a little trivial matter, and I didn't greet you." ”

I waved my hand: "Boss Wang, which one are you singing?" Is it War Horse Chao, or is it going to Maicheng? Look at you, this is like a material with a singing face. ”

Boss Wang listened to my ridicule, sighed and said to me: "Isn't this a bit of a dispute over items, and I also discussed it with this colleague?" ”

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man on the side jumped up: "What dispute, you are a fraud." After speaking, he turned his eyes to look at me: "You are Mr. Qiu Tong, the hall master of the White Grass Hall, right?" I look up for a long time, I don't know what's going on, they are just a bunch of liars, everyone has two ID cards and two names, so it's like this, ...... half a year ago"

He was just about to tell me when Boss Wang on the side shouted and kicked the man next to me to the ground. He was about to raise his fist to hit someone, I stopped him, he withdrew his fist, I glared at him, turned around and picked up the middle-aged man who fell to the ground next to me.

I dusted the dirt off his body with my hands: "Dude, you sit on the seat next to you and tell me what's going on." ”

Boss Wang on the side also came over, and I glared at him again: "Mengya, are you thirsty?" I looked at Boss Wang again: "Boss Wang, my clerk is a little thirsty, please take her to drink saliva, and I will go to see your company's autumn auction preview later." ”

Boss Wang nodded awkwardly and walked to the tea house on the side of the venue with Mengya.

I looked at the middle-aged man again and smiled, "Dude, you go on." ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "I am a porcelain miscellaneous businessman, and in March last year, I signed an auction contract with Luo Maosheng, the director of their company. Took one of my Southern Song Dynasty celadon three-hole bottles. ”

I nodded, thinking to myself that this was not a cheap thing, and it would cost more than a million anyway.

"A few days later, Luo Maosheng called me and said that someone wanted my celadon three-hole bottle, so I had to withdraw the film. I don't agree, I think it's better to take the auction route to make more profits. But this guy called me every day, and I still insisted on not canceling the shooting. But under his repeated persuasion, and promised that there would be no problems, the payment would be made within two days, and I agreed to cancel the auction on the eighth day after signing the contract. ”

I nodded: "Isn't that a problem?" Did he give you the money in the end? ”

"If he gives it to me, will I still use it to make trouble today? After I agreed, he took the contract out of the company, took one look at my bottle, wrote me an IOU, and took it away to show the customer. But since then, the bottles are gone, and the money is gone. After more than 20 days, he called me and said that the bottle had been tricked by the scammers. ”

I was surprised to hear this, and motioned to continue.

Later, he said that he had called the police and that the police would chase him back. I've been waiting for more than a year and still haven't heard from me. I went to their company yesterday to find Chairman Wang Shijian to ask for an explanation. He wrote me a note stating that I, the victim, had a dispute with the company's director. And when the chairman of the board of directors signed it, he didn't sign his real name, and he asked me to tear up the IOU. Didn't you say that a company as big as theirs was bullying? ”

I nodded: "Dude, what about the IOU?" ”

He took out two IOUs from his bosom and handed them to me, and when I looked down, the first one read:

Today, I received a piece of "Southern Song Dynasty Celadon Three-hole Bottle", with a height of 12.9 cm. (Originally the auction company was auctioned by *** auction company, and the contract number was withdrawn...... ）

Take away the borrowing consignment.

The reserve price is 1.5 million yuan. Luo Maosheng

I looked at the second IOU again:

Today, I received a piece of "Southern Song Dynasty Celadon Three-hole Bottle", with a height of 12.9 cm. (Originally the auction company was auctioned by *** auction company, and the contract number was withdrawn...... ）

Take away the borrowing consignment.

The reserve price is 2.4 million yuan. Luo Qingyun

I frowned and looked at the middle-aged man in front of me, "What's going on?" ”

"The first one is for me, and the second one is for Boss Wang. He might want to make a difference. ”

I nodded, and just then, a middle-aged man with long hair came out of the room.

"Hall Master Qiu, our Mr. Wang asked me to pick you up to see the preview."

I squinted at him, and saw that this man was wearing a suit, with very long hair, small eyes, a big nose, a grin, and some ground, and a few front teeth still on the outside, and his appearance was very obscene, and he had a lewd smile, and I really wanted to go up and beat this person.

Before I could stand up, I saw a middle-aged man on the side stand up, carrying the lewd man's neck and collar: "Luo Maosheng, you bastard." "As he spoke, he was going to hit Luo Maosheng.

I protected Luo Maosheng with my hand: "Brother, this way, you can give me Qiu Tong a face today." Go back first, I think they'll give you an explanation. ”

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll believe you again for the sake of the face of the Qiu Hall Master." With that, he turned around and walked into the elevator and left the Beijing International Hotel.

After the man left, Luo Qingyun smiled obscenely and flattered me, "Hall Master Qiu, thank you for breaking the siege." Your side please. ”

I ignored him and walked to the tea table in the hall: "Mengya, how are you drinking?" ”

She nodded: "The lobes of the lungs are about to float up, what are you talking about for so long?" ”

I didn't say anything and looked at Luo Qingyun who was standing on the side, he still had a lewd smile on his face: "Oh, Miss Mengya is so beautiful." ”

"Mr. Luo, you don't have to greet us. You better go and greet other customers, we don't have that much to do. With that, I took Mengya's hand and walked to the central exhibition area.

The central exhibition hall is very tastefully furnished, and the entire central area is covered by lawns. On the lawn, a pair of rosewood coffee tables are placed, on which are placed two very unique Uogawa real cypress bonsai. I saw that the one on the left hand side was sixty or seventy centimeters high, and half of the main body of the tree had withered as if it had been struck by lightning. But there are a lot of new shoots coming out from behind the trunk, and it looks very strange. The bonsai on the right-hand side is completely different from this style, with two huge forks extending from the base of the tree, and several leaf balls composed of needles growing on them, which makes people look very fresh.

Mengya and I were admiring the bonsai here, someone patted me from behind, and when I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man in a suit, with a flat head, and glasses looking at the crepe standing behind us.

"Hall Master Qiu, you're really early."

When I looked at it, it turned out to be another supervisor of the porcelain miscellaneous department of the *** auction company, this person was called Qi Liye.

"Hall Master Qiu, have you taken a fancy to these two trees? Let me tell you that the tree on the left is a literati tree made of Uogawa Makoshi. You see that this tree is tall and tall, with a straight trunk, and although it has been seriously injured, it stands still, expressing the innocence and height of our ancient Chinese literati, so it is called the literati tree. ”

I nodded, and he continued.

"The other Uogawa cypress is called Erlong Fenshui, and you can see that the base of this big tree is like two dragons poking its head out of the water against the background of green moss. Two trunks are separated from the two dragon heads, so it is called the two dragons dividing the water. ”

After listening to him, I was very interested in these two Yuchuan real cypress bonsai, and walked up to see the price code:

The Yuchuan Zhenbai bonsai literati tree, which is more than 85 years old, is priced at 50,000 yuan.

Yuchuan Zhenbai bonsai two dragons divide the water, the age of the tree is more than 120 years, the price is 110,000 yuan.

I looked at Qi Liye on the side: "Can this price be cheaper?" ”

Qi Liye smiled at me: "Hall Master Qiu, if you want, of course, you can give you the seller's reserve price." Two pots of 120,000, do you see if you can accept it? Of course, the company will charge you 10% of the processing fee. ”

I nodded, and Qi Liye beckoned the waiter on the side to drive the two bonsai to my home.

We slipped away with him for a while, and I asked him, "Liye, what's going on with Luo Qingyun in your department?" Why is it so messy? ”
