Within half a month, on the side of Zaoshu Village, the repair work of the old house was nearing completion.

When Ye Tian went over to look again, the house and courtyard wall were rested, and the yard was re-paved with cement tiles, which was clean and tidy.

The well water in the old well is indeed very sweet, a hundred times better than the tap water in the city.

Zhu Zhenhai equipped the old house with furniture, which was unpretentious, simple and generous.

The village chief often comes to visit, and he is very emotional, and I believe that the big man will be very moved when he comes back to see it.

Ye Tian renovated and enlarged the old photos of the village chief's house and hung them on the wall in front of the old house. All this was done, he took a photo of Secretary Bai and completed the work assigned by the other party.

Secretary Bai praised again and again, and promised to report to the leader immediately, and when he returned to Zaoshu Village, he would notify Ye Tian in advance.

Ye Tian did not forget that another task assigned by the big man was to find the ivory carving.

He contacted the Snake King several times, but the Snake King was a little hesitant, and Ye Tian simply took Xiao Liuzi together and directly found the Snake King's lair.

Xiao Liuzi is recovering very well now, but he can't be tired, can't do physical work, and still needs to recuperate.

Seeing Ye Tian coming to the door, the Snake King couldn't hold back his face, and explained to him and Xiao Liuzi: "That thing did appear in Jinling, and then changed hands several times, some people have seen it on the Thai-Myanmar border, and they have also seen it in the gambling stone market in Vietnam, but I called and asked acquaintances to look for it, and there has been no whereabouts." ”

"So 1 million for nothing?" Ye Tian asked lightly.

The Snake King shook his head: "Of course not, I am entrusting international friends to increase the scope of search, as long as this thing is still there, no matter who is in the hands, we can find clues." ”

Xiao Liuzi was a little disappointed: "Snake King, as long as you can find it, money is not a problem, but if there is no clue in the end, what face do you have to collect 1 million?" ”

The Snake King sneered, "How do you know I can't find it?" As long as it is something lost in Jinling, I can completely recover it in my lifetime. ”

Ye Tian took Xiao Liuzi to leave the Snake King, and Xiao Liuzi came up with a solution: Brother Tian, we can send someone to follow the Snake King to see who he is contacting, and if we find useful clues, we will immediately arrest people on the spot and bring the news over. “”

Ye Tian arranged for Song Jian to follow the Snake King.

Soon, Song Jian found the flaw in the Snake King and informed Ye Tian: "The Snake King called continuously and made an appointment to meet at the seafood restaurant, and now he has arrived there and is waiting alone." ”

Ye Tian rushed over to meet Song Jian, and sure enough, he saw that the Snake King was sitting alone in a luxurious private room, looking at his phone boredly.

Soon, a rosacea nose flashed into the private room and sat down across from the Snake King.

When the meeting between the two was over, Ye Tian and Song Jian followed the rosacea nose and arrived in a dark alley.

The two blocked each other one after the other, Song Jian didn't speak, he went up with two punches, and his nose was sore and he lay on the ground and curled up.

Song Jian followed with two feet, and his nose was drunk: "Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives!" ”

"Tell me, what did the Serpent King tell you?"

The nose of the sake lees was hard, and Song Jian slapped it, and blood spurted out of the other party's mouth, mixed with a tooth.

The rosacea nose became honest: "The snake king told me that he was looking for an ivory carving, which used to be in my hands before, but now I don't know where it was sold, he asked me to ask quickly, and he didn't say anything else." Everyone knows that he has been looking for this thing for a month, and the demand is getting more and more urgent, and the price is getting higher and higher, but there is nothing I can do. ”

The wine lees nose is called Hou Sihai, 40 years old this year, and he is a small celebrity in the Jinling thief circle, so the snake king will come to him to discuss.

Ye Tian pressed again before admitting that the ivory carving had fallen into his hands at the earliest.

At that time, he was in the most luxurious presidential suite in the Jinling Hotel, and he found it in a piece of luggage, along with the ivory carving, as well as some money and gold bars. At that time, he didn't know the goods, and this thing was 10,000 yuan and threw it to the dealer who collected the cultural relics. Later, I heard that the thing rose to 300,000 yuan after changing hands continuously, and finally sold to **.

He also regretted it, but the thief's business was like this, when selling stolen goods, the price was very low, and he couldn't sell it at all.

The snake king will invite him when he knows the news, and offer him 500,000 yuan, as long as there is news, no matter who is in the hands, the snake king will find a way.

Ye Tian and Song Jian took Hou Sihai back to Xiao Wuzi's auto repair shop and locked him up temporarily.

In fact, they have no better way, whether it is the snake king or Hou Sihai, as long as the ivory carving is not in the city, everyone is out of reach.

Xiao Liuzi comforted Ye Tian: "Brother Tian, many things are like this, in the first few years, they were upside down in the market, and soon fell into the hands of some discerning collectors, and they were never seen again." There are some treasures in the world that have disappeared like this, and no one can do anything about it. ”

He thought that Ye Tian was distressed to pay 1 million to the Snake King, but he didn't expect that 1 million was worthless in Ye Tian's eyes, and he wanted to find that thing and fulfill his promise to the big man.

The other party believes that he has told the secret, and if he can't help, the other party will be very disappointed.

He shut himself in his room and pondered for half an afternoon, until he finally came up with a brilliant plan.

He called Zhu Yaoyang and arranged for Zhu Yaoyang to arrive at eleven in the evening, secretly opened the door, and released Hou Sihai.

Together, the two of them stole money from the garage drawer and left overnight.

Zhu Yaoyang is notorious in the underground circle of Jinling, everyone knows that he is a ruffian hooligan, and Hou Sihai has also heard such news.

Soon, Zhu Yaoyang got another clue from Hou Sihai, this thing is currently in **, probably in the hands of an underground collector named Yang Chao.

This person has a lot of good things in his hands, but he never deals in person, and he auctions them online.

He has a close relationship with some super-rich people, and the people who can participate in Yang Chao's private super auction are all worth hundreds of millions, and the price of his brand is not less than 300 million. This thing, which once appeared in a large number of ivory carvings, was sold for 300 million yuan as a whole, and it has been sold once.

Hou Sihai has a connection with a super tycoon in Jinling, and has seen similar news from the tycoon's study.

To put it simply, as long as you participate in Yang Chao's private super auction through that tycoon, it is possible to get those things, but the link is too complicated.

Hou Sihai obviously knows the method, but it's not worth it at all for a mere 500,000. What's more, even if that super tycoon took pictures of these things, how could he give them to Hou Sihai?

A bunch of ivory carvings brought by people for more than 300 million yuan, sold in a single piece, the price will not be less than millions.

Hearing the news, Zhu Yaoyang asked with a smile: "Hou Sihai, I suspect that you are not friends with the super tycoon, but you saw it when you went to his house to steal things?" ”

Hou Sihai laughed and gave Zhu Yaoyang a thumbs up: "That's right, because of this, I can't help the Snake King, even if this news is revealed to the Snake King, the Snake King will not pay." ”

Hou Sihai had dealt with the snake king before, knew the temper of the snake king, didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, even if he sold him the real news, the bid was very stingy, since it was so troublesome, he simply told the snake king that he didn't know.

Hou Sihai told Zhu Yaoyang the name of the tycoon, and also pointed out that the place where he found the news was in the super redwood building of the tycoon in the East Ring.

Zhu Yaoyang passed the news to Ye Tian, and Ye Tian was very calm. No matter how complicated the process is, no matter how many links, he is sure that he can get the ivory carving back, as long as he knows the whereabouts of the thing.

Zhu Yaoyang made a great contribution, and Ye Tianchang rewarded him with 200,000. At the same time, let him keep in touch with Hou Sihai, and whenever Hou Sihai has news of the ivory carving, he will be notified in time.

That super tycoon is named Shen Zhengnan, and he is very famous in Jinling. started with real estate development, and later operated mahogany furniture, and then specialized in doing business with **.

Shen Zhengnan has only one son, named Shen Jun, who is a well-known figure in the circle of the second generation of Jinling's wealth.

In the end, Ye Tian found that Shen Jun was in the luxury car club of Gaishi, and he usually liked to drive a black limited edition Ferrari, which was quite flamboyant.

After all, all of Shen Zhengnan's wealth will be inherited by him in the future, and he can't spend too much money, so he doesn't worry about the future at all.

Ye Tian asked Shen Jun to drink tea through Gaishi, and expressed his meaning very tactfully, hoping to participate in Yang Chao's super auction through Shen Zhengnan and buy some things.

Shen Jun was very face-saving and immediately called Shen Zhengnan.

At first, Shen Zhengnan thought that Ye Tian was also a gentleman in a luxury car club, and he didn't want to pay attention to it at all. Gai Shi called in person, and Shen Zhengnan gave face and promised to see Ye Tian. However, whether he can help him contact Yang Chao depends on his mood.

After making the call, Gaishi was a little annoyed, as the boss of the luxury car club, he always felt that he had a status in the rich second generation, and all the rich generations should also give him face, but Shen Zhengnan's attitude was neither yin nor yang, which made him lose face in front of Ye Tian.

Ye Tian smiled: "Brother, the most difficult thing in the world is to ask others. You remember, the rich second generation is not a universal pass, people will give you the green light wherever you go, if you really want to do things happily, you have to have the ability. Otherwise, just think about what the ancients said, a big husband can bend and stretch, and in order to achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes. ”

Ye Tian took a gift and went to visit Shen Zhengnan's mahogany company.

Before Shen Zhengnan made money making mahogany, he built a well-known mahogany building near the East Ring Road, and all the decorations and furniture inside were made of pure mahogany. The feet are all authentic rosewood floors, and as soon as you enter the door, you have to change into embroidered slippers.

The decoration of this building alone is worth 100 million.

Ye Tian took Song Jian over and entered the Mahogany Building alone.

Shen Zhengnan's attitude was more indifferent than on the phone, looking at Ye Tian condescendingly, and he didn't look at the gifts he brought.

"It's very difficult for you to ask me to do something, super auctions, held irregularly, a lot of things, it's not that you want to auction it, it depends on your qualifications. Shen Jun said, you are still rich, but the starting price of the super auction is 100 million, 100 million, can you get it? ”

Ye Tian accompanied the smiling face, not wanting to anger the other party: "One hundred million, I can try." I used to hear that there would always be some ivory carvings in the super auction, so I thought, can I ask Uncle Shen to help me see this? ”

Shen Zhengnan sneered: "Do you think that Yang Chao will take a piece of ivory carved out for auction alone?" In the last auction, as soon as it came out, it was 40 pieces, and the price was 300 million, can you afford it? Most of them are boutiques from the small royal family of South Asia, 300 million is just the reserve price, and I don't know what the price will rise to in the end. If you don't prepare 500 million, try not to participate in this kind of auction, it will scare you to death when the time comes. ”

Ye Tian didn't refute, and continued to accompany the smiling face: "Uncle Shen, my friend likes ivory carvings, even if it is three hundred million or more, my friend can bear it." I only hope that Uncle Shen can give me a chance, otherwise we juniors will not be able to contact such a high-end auction, and we will not have the opportunity to learn from a super boss like you. ”
