Chapter 1620: Agents and Clues
The Xie family and his entourage finally stayed in Kutos for ten days, the day before leaving, the old man Xie Qingshan proposed to Xiao Yang that he wanted to buy a painting, Xiao Yang agreed without thinking about it, although there are many people who can identify the notepad, but there are few people who can make them trust, and they are old, and they rushed from China thousands of miles away without saying a word, and they have to admit this favor.
Anyway, they don't have a hobby of collecting, and they don't have the intention of leaving heirlooms for future generations.
In the end, Old Man Xie bought a painting of Shi Tao at a price not lower than the market price.
Who is Shi Tao and what is the name of this painting, Xiao Yang and others didn't know it before, but now they know a little bit, that is, when they asked someone to appraise it, they looked at the appraisal results, and when they drew it, they didn't care much, let alone think about it.
The only surprise to them was that the price of this painting greatly exceeded the price given by the previous appraiser, of course, Xiao Yang was also a little surprised that Old Man Xie did not let Li Zhiwei pay for it, but came out himself.
Seeing off everyone at the airport, he smiled and said to Li Zhiwei and his wife: "I haven't heard that Uncle Qingshan is so rich before. ”
That painting Xie Qingshan said that if it was on the auction, the price would exceed 100 million, but Xiao Yang and they knew very well what the price at the auction was, of course they would not give it according to this price, not to mention the favor, Li Zhiwei's face was here, not to mention that they themselves had never thought of going to a formal auction, but the old man was not willing to take advantage of them too much, so in the end, everyone discussed and gave a figure of 90 million.
The 90 million was taken out by the old man Xie Qingshan personally, which may not be much money for these people, but judging from the performance of the old man during this time, he really doesn't look like a master who can take out so much money.
Li Zhiwei and Xie Xiao looked at each other and smiled.
"The antique industry is only in and out of the line of antiques must not last too long, the second uncle is to hide and raise, sell some things that are not too important, and then come to buy what he likes, he has been in the antique industry for decades, and there are naturally a lot of good things in his hands, the first day he saw that painting, he had an idea, so let the family deal with some things in his hands, plus his savings, it will be a lot......" Xie Xiao explained to Xiao Yang.
"Don't underestimate the second uncle, if he sells all the things in his hands, he can make a billionaire in China." After his wife finished speaking, Li Zhiwei added.
“……”
Billionaires? Xiao Yang really didn't know that Xie Lao, who was dressed ordinarily and was usually used to anything, was so rich, but thinking about the fact that antiques were originally luxuries, those who could afford to play this should not be poor, so he felt that he should.
"I really didn't expect Uncle Qingshan to be a rich man." He said with a smile.
Li Zhiwei and his wife also laughed.
No matter who looks at it, they all think that Xie Qingshan should just be a literati, after all, his temperament is like this, no one will think that he is a rich man with billions of worth of antiques, Xiao Yang is not the first, they are all used to it, but they are still happy to be able to make Xiao Yang look away.
Xiao Yang drove over alone, chatted with Li Zhiwei and his wife, and then went to the company.
The company has been a little busy in the past two days, because the agent from South Africa has come, and before signing the contract, there are some rules and regulations that need to be said first, but he did not intervene in all this, he only cares about the result, and this morning, the two sides are going to sign the contract, look at the time, and now it is almost over.
After parking the car in the parking lot, he walked upstairs, and as soon as he reached the corner of the second floor, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from upstairs, followed by the sound of Aman talking to people.
Listening to the polite words of farewell, he knew that this was the end of the contract, and he didn't want to meet with the other party's people, so he walked quickly to the second floor, and then entered the room, avoiding the crowd coming down from the third floor.
After a while, the group reached the downstairs, and he glanced out of the glass window of the passageway, and then went upstairs and went directly into Oman's office.
After sitting in the office for a while, Oman returned.
"It's very polite, and I sent him to the car." He said to Aman with a smile.
Oman knows what he means, the other party is just an agent, he doesn't need to be so polite, in fact, Oman himself knows, but he also has his thoughts, "This guy still has some strength in South Africa, and now many diamond mines have cooperation with him, and the people behind him are now in power, if we have anything in South Africa in the future, maybe we have to rely on his strength, and politeness is nothing at this time." ”
Guo Jianglong still doesn't suppress the head snake, Xiao Yang is deeply touched by this, as soon as Aman said this, he knew that he thought badly, and what Aman did was right, "That's more thoughtful than me, if you can exchange some hypocritical things for convenience in the future, the face of the two of us is really worthless." ”
Face is a thing, sometimes it must be put out, otherwise it will be despised, but at some point it seems that it is not so important, many years of rolling in the circle, they have a deep understanding of the four words of being able to bend and stretch, seeing Xiao Yang say this kind of thing so simply, Aman suddenly laughed.
"I know you're not here to tell me a joke, so let's get down to business. This guy's sincerity is still good, the deposit of 30 million US dollars was not discounted at all, it was given immediately, and the rest of the requirements were not mentioned, the only important thing is that he proposed a priority supply ......"
Agent margin system, which they learn from other companies, can avoid agents do not follow the rules and regulations, and second, can enrich the company's liquidity. Although the latter is not much necessary, who would refuse to have more spare money?
Of course, this margin is not a fixed number, but according to the size of the market in the country where the agent is located and the power of the agent itself, for South Africa, 30 million is already the top, at least now they have the agent, this number is the highest, and this number is also Xiao Yang and Oman agreed on, but I didn't expect the other party to agree without a counteroffer.
As for priority supply, this is not a matter for them at all, you must know that the supply is not a problem for them, there is no shortage of supply, and South Africa is one of their most important markets, even if there is a shortage of supply, it is also a priority.
"Yes, then this person is very interesting, observe it again, if it is appropriate, you can deepen some cooperation." Xiao Yang nodded.
Affiliates don't represent all of their products, and there are some sensitive things that they don't
There is an agent to hand it over, which is another role of the local offices, but if the two sides cooperate well, it is also possible to hand over this business to their agent.
Aman is noncommittal, although the person he has come into contact with and is also the most familiar to him, but whether he can meet this requirement, he is not sure, "Let's take a look first, this person has strength, but there are many people staring at him, whether he can cooperate for a long time depends on the situation." ”
The agent's affairs are done, but the people in South Africa can't leave immediately, because some channels have to be handed over, and these channels also include some of their directly operated stores, according to the contract, these are acquired by agents, and this piece of assets is separately audited, and everything has to be solved, and it is impossible to do it without a month and a half.
This matter can only be done slowly, but with the original Black Mamba's brother there, they have nothing to worry about.
……
On the Moroccan base, after several days of reconnaissance and testing, it was determined that Adis's original guess was true, and there were still people in the underground base who were alive and well, although it was not clear what their plans were, but the people who wanted to ambush them were certain, otherwise, they would have taken the initiative to come out a long time ago.
However, although they knew the situation, what to do next, including Xiao Yang and others, who knew the situation, were also at a loss.
After these days through the detection of robots, they determined that this underground base has at least three floors, the first floor is the entry and exit level, which is only used to park vehicles and as a warehouse for some items, and as a buffer in the event of a foreign invasion, and the second layer starts, they don't have any information at all, and the only information they know is that the passage down is the elevator.
"I think it's just a stupid way, smoke. Open a small gap from the elevator opening, then throw in a lot of smoke bombs to see if we can find the ventilation hole of the base, once we find the ventilation hole, we will plug the ventilation hole...... I guess the people inside already have a plan to break the boat, and if there are any good things or materials or something, they should also be ruined by them, in fact, it doesn't have much effect, but the people of the United States will definitely not give up easily. ”
According to common sense, it is impossible for this kind of base to have no means of self-destruction, Xiao Yang agrees with Oman's statement, there is nothing in it, and any information or good things have already been destroyed by the survivors, but he knows that the people of the United States will definitely not give up like this, otherwise they will just install a large number of explosives and blow it up, where do you need to bother to think about entering?
"You can really try this method with smoke, although it's a little stupid, but it's also the safest, that's right, the people of the United States will definitely not give up easily, I suspect that the previous guess is correct, they may have discovered something before, this is not a simple training base at all......" Xiao Yang said, suddenly thinking of something.
"I did think of a question, according to the scale of this base, there must have been a lot of people involved in the construction of the base, how did these people come here? Moroccans? Or was it built by the army of country D itself? Can we think of a way to do this? ”
His words reminded Aman, only to see his expression shocked, "That's right, I didn't think of this before, I asked the big dog to check it, maybe I can find something, building such an underground fortification, it is definitely impossible to build a few thousand people, and the time will not be very short, the concrete thing, in that era, is not something that can be obtained at random." ”
