Chapter 62: An Unexpected Hire

When I came to the restaurant that Zheng Tian said as promised, I found that in addition to Zheng Tian, there was also a foreigner with blue eyes and a big nose.

It seems that this foreigner is an important person in Zheng Tian's mouth.

β€œHello! I am the director of the Chinese branch of the Audan International Group, you can call me William. When Blue Eyes saw me coming, he took the initiative to get up and stretched out his hand to me.

As soon as I heard that this was not a small number, I also reached over and held it: "Fortunately." ”

Zheng Tian wanted to introduce us to each other, but when he saw that neither of us knew each other, he had to pour us tea first with a smile, and handed it to me in person, making a "please" gesture. I glanced at him and wondered when this kid had become so polite? He opened his mouth first and asked, "Are you healed from your injuries?" ”

Zheng Tian smiled, made an OK gesture and replied, "No problem."

Then Zheng Tian turned his head to the man named William and said: "This is the pawn boss I mentioned to you, don't look at him young, this pawn boss is a big name in our antique industry in Nanjing City, and the treasure in his hand can be auctioned for 1.8 million yuan!" ”

I was very weak by this Zheng Tian's heart, and my heart said that you are too good at bragging, a hawker who makes a living by reselling fakes is said by you to become a master in the antique world, and I feel ashamed to listen to it.

But if you think about it carefully, this is also normal, and the culture of touting on the Chinese wine table has been around for a long time and is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. I make friends with you, if you yourself are not high, then I will not have any face when I introduce you to others, so for the sake of face for both sides, the deputy bureau becomes the director, the deputy general becomes the director, and the small boss becomes the big boss...... It's really nice to have a little sloppiness and everybody is happy.

William smiled at me, "It's really an honor to work with you. ”

Well, as I expected, I didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and these blue eyes definitely didn't come here to listen to Zheng Tian's bragging, so I cautiously glanced at Zheng Tian and asked, "What cooperation?" You didn't tell me beforehand. ”

Zheng Tian looked apologetic: "You see that this is not a time emergency, by the way, before talking about the matter, you first take out the order and show it to Mr. William." ”

I warned, "What are you looking at that thing for?" ”

Zheng Tian smiled and groaned: "Hey, don't think about it, the main thing is to prove to Mr. William that you are a descendant of the Mo Sect and not a fake." ”

After Zheng Tian finished speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows at me, but he confused me, what kind of descendant of the Mozong Sect?

When Uncle Dao gave me the order before, he told me to keep it, isn't it good to take it out like this now?

But then I think about it, I have known Zheng Tian for many years, I still know his personality very well, although he is greedy for money, he will never betray his friends, you might as well take it out first and see what kind of medicine they are selling in this gourd.

So I took the order out of my bag and put it on the table.

When the foreigner named William saw the diamond-shaped pendant carved with the word "ink" on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he gave me a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Dian is really a real person and does not show his face." ”

I was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to respond to him, at this time, Zheng Tian on the other side quietly kicked me under the table with his foot, and I had to nod awkwardly.

Then William moved the order to my side, motioned for me to put it away, and then said, "In that case, let's get straight to the point." We at Odan Group are mainly engaged in the legal acquisition and auction of cultural relics, and now due to the expansion of our business, we need to find an experienced senior consultant who will specialize in opening the Chinese market, so we have found you through Mr. Zheng. ”

Then William took out a stack of documents from his purse and said: "This is a contract, with an annual salary of 300,000." ”

After William finished speaking, Zheng Tian also specially added: "Attention, it's US dollars." ”

I was stunned when I heard it, at first I thought that this blue eye was trying to buy the moment order in my hand or the secret painting that Uncle Dao took to study, but now I was hired to be a senior consultant, and with an annual salary of 300,000 US dollars, how many fakes do I have to sell to earn it? I was completely unprepared and couldn't answer for a while.

When William saw that I didn't speak, he thought that I was worried about taking them as liars, so he said: "Our Aodan Group is a legal foreign company in China, and the industrial and commercial department can find it, so you don't have to worry about this." ”

"The world's top 500 companies, thieves have money." Zheng Tian continued to poke and say.

I glanced at the contract on the table, and was just about to start speaking when I heard William's cell phone ring, and then he made an apologetic gesture to us and went out of the box to answer the phone.

At this time, only Zheng Tian and I were the only ones in the box, so I opened the skylight and said, "What the hell are you kid doing?" Where did this Odan Group come from? ”

Zheng Tian tapped the contract on the table with his finger: "What am I doing?" I'm helping you make a fortune! ”

"It's not...... I just felt that this matter was too sudden, and now there is no news from Uncle Dao's side, so I can't ...... it for a while."

"Hey! Could it be that if you don't have news, Uncle Dao, you won't be alive? What do people live for? Isn't it just to make money? Zheng Tian interrupted me.

"Didn't you say it was for art?" I gave him a blank look.

"With money, there is art." Zheng Tian replied calmly.

Then Zheng Tian approached me again and whispered: "Chengzi, I won't tell you, in fact, this so-called annual salary of 300,000 US dollars is nothing. ”

I looked at Zheng Tian with a mysterious look on his face, and asked strangely, "What do you mean?" ”

Zheng Tian replied: "What do you think, what is the profession you were hired for?" Senior Consultant in China. The entire Chinese market for cultural relics and antiques, valuation quotations and everything is your sole discretion. At that time, as long as you make a little fuss about the price, and then I will open up and down in the antique circle, the two of us will join forces and make some money at will, and the money will not come as loud as rain? ”

I thought to myself that Zheng Tian's family was worthy of doing business, and he was absolutely financially minded, but he was still very worried: "First of all, how can things be as easy as you say. Also, why did their company have to ask me to be this consultant? Is it blindness? ”

Zheng Tian opened his mouth and said: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, this William is the Yankee who bid with us at the auction, and they found me as soon as I was discharged from the hospital, asked me about your details, and told me about cooperation." ”

"What am I doing? If you want to inquire, you should also inquire about Uncle Dao, I am a little minion at best. I wondered.

Zheng Tian waved his hand: "They are inquiring about the person who holds the order of the moment. ”

When Zheng Tian said this, my heart was no longer as excited as before, but I felt a faint uneasiness. What is the connection between the two and the secret paintings of the Northern and Southern Dynasties?

Thinking about it rationally, pie will not fall from the sky, Zheng Tian said that this foreigner also participated in the auction of the half volume of the remnant paintings of the Northern and Southern Dynasties before, indicating that they are also eager to get it, and now we have brought the other half of the volume out of the ancient tomb, and he came to me at this moment, is there any conspiracy? Maybe you want to get the painting in Uncle Dao's hand through me?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and just as I wanted to open my mouth to continue asking Zheng Tian, William, who answered the phone outside, opened the door and came in with a smile.

"Mr. Dian, how are you thinking about it?" William asked as soon as he sat down.

"Uh...... This, I think...... I thought...... "I didn't know what to do for a while."

"Well, Mr. William, how about you give my brother some time to go back and take a good look at the contract and think about it again?" Zheng Tian saw that I was still hesitating, so he made a round and said.

William nodded, and then handed me a business card of his own: "I hope we can become partners, you must remember to contact me after you think about it." ”
