Section 32 Caught in a predicament
Yesterday, I went to our association's auction company to listen to Zhou Xiaomei's performance report, and then she invited me to watch a movie!
I don't remember the title of the film, but the plot in it was very infectious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe hero and heroine in the film are a couple who have lived for many years, and at the beginning the two lived happily and were ordinary office workers. But I didn't expect that both of them turned out to be spies, and they were arranged by the upper echelons to get married and live together, and later the two received tasks at the same time, and both asked them to kill each other. At first, the two of them carried out the order seriously, but after beating them, they found that they could not do anything at all, and in the end, they could not be manipulated by others, and both fled to live a happy life in seclusion.
My experience is lucky compared to the two of them, but in the end, they still turned the danger into a disaster and got the happiness they deserved, they are both capable and intelligent people, so they can change their own fate!
After waking up from another nightmare, I sat at the head of the bed in a daze, and my heart was terrified, even though it was just a dream, but I was still struggling with the demon in the dream.
It has been more than three months since I returned to Shanghai from Luo Jiling, and although Zhao Yanyang has called me many times to urge me to revisit the tomb of the ghost king, I have always been perfunctory and have ignored her. Since I came back, I have been busy sorting out the tombs on the dragon vein map of the Martial Elder Dao, collecting all the tombs and locations left by the great wizard in his reincarnation and recording them in a notebook, so that I can explore them one by one in the future to find ways to resurrect souls.
After getting up, Wen Yuan and I went to the park to practice swords for a while, and then we went home for breakfast, and when the doorbell rang halfway through eating, Zhang Xianyun immediately got up and went to open the door.
I saw Zhou Xiaomei walk in from outside the door in a huff, she sat on the sofa in the living room, threw her satchel on the table, and said angrily: "President, I ask to be transferred from the auction company, I don't want to work with that Hua Yongde anymore!"
Suddenly, such a sentence came to the people at our table who were taken aback. Li Yulian has also lived with us since she became the chairman of the Witch Association, and when she heard Zhou Xiaomei so angry, she asked very strangely, "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with him?"
Zhou Xiaomei was silent, and she didn't pay attention to Li Yulian. I glanced at Li Yulian, then got up and walked towards her, and asked as I walked, "What's wrong with you, weren't you okay when we went to the movies last night, and it won't be time to go to work, why did you suddenly have an awkward relationship with Hua Yongde?"
Zhou Xiaomei said angrily: "That old man in Hong Kong is really annoying, I finally found a few customers from Hangzhou from the outside, and they have always had some cultural relics that will be fixed." That Hua Yongde is always picky, and he blamed me last night, saying that he should not deal with this kind of customer in the future, saying that their things are inferior goods will affect the company's reputation!
I came to the living room and sat down across from her, and asked her, "I also read the company's performance report yesterday, the company's business has not been up, at this time we really need to vigorously expand the customer base, I support you in this matter!"
Li Yulian also followed to the living room, she sat opposite me and shook her head and said: "President, things are divided into two sides! General Manager Hua has many years of work experience in the cultural relics auction industry, and I think he should have a better grasp of this! He chose to filter customers, which is also considering the company's reputation, and our Wumen was originally not famous in the outside world!" If the company accepts the customer's entrustment to help auction the inferior goods, it is easy for the outside world to mistakenly think that our company's auction items are mixed with fakes, and the real genuine products will also be questioned by the outside world, so it will be thankless, and the company's reputation will be ruined!"
Zhou Xiaomei was still very unhappy and said: "Then what should we do! Our company has not been open for a long time, and there is no fixed customer group, so picky, where can we get so many works of art to auction! There are more than 100 people up and down the company, so many people need to be raised, the company has no business and does not make money, how can it be maintained in the future?"
After listening to this, I was also a little helpless, and leaned my head back on the sofa and pondered! In the six months since the establishment of the Wumen Art Auction Company, its performance has been in a sluggish state, and I have a headache for this. Fortunately, the business of the Fuze Tianxia Company that Liang Jie is responsible for has been rolled out, and the welfare department of Wumen has also been successfully established, and the income and expenditure are relatively good, and the balance is handed over to the Wumen Association every month.
Li Yulian has served as the chairman of Universal Pharmaceutical for five years and has very experience in the business operation of corporate companies. Seeing that I bowed my head and pondered without speaking, she spoke again: "A company's business needs to be spread slowly, at least one or two years, at most three or five years, and it will be very prosperous and prosperous if it does not come up." However, the business of our auction company really needs to be developed well, and if it continues to be so sluggish, I am afraid that our funds will be seriously shortage!"
After listening to this, I turned my head and asked her, "Sister Li, you are the most experienced in this area, do you have any good suggestions?"
Li Yulian squinted at me and replied seriously: "First of all, we have to do a certain amount of publicity for the auction company, of course, the publicity I am referring to is not the kind that goes to TV stations, magazines, newspapers and outdoor advertisements. If every company wants to do a good job, it must first package the company, improve the company's reputation and prestige, and let the outside world know that as long as the auction of cultural relics is mentioned, they will think of our auction company for the first time, just like the auction company of Huahe Group!"
I frowned and replied: "Actually, I've been thinking that Huahe Group has done a lot in the cultural relics auction industry, and it will be a bit self-sufficient for us to build such an auction company in Wumen and place it in the same city in Shanghai to compete with them?"
Li Yulian said with a smile: "How could it be! The market potential of the auction industry is still very large, and there are only a handful of well-known cultural relics auction companies in Shanghai, and we still have plenty of room for development, and we may not be able to do them Huahe Group in the future! The cultural relics industry is not the same as other industries, collectors look at things rather than companies, as long as we can get one or two good treasures of great value to put up for auction, I believe that the name of our company will soon become a sensation in the entire art collecting circle!"
After listening to Li Yulian's explanation, I seem to understand a little, no wonder when I was working part-time in Huahe Group, when there was something good to ask Hua Yongde to sell, he would find a group of people in advance to advertise the advanced nature, on the one hand, in order to gather as many buyers as possible, and on the other hand, it was a good signboard for Huahe Group.
At this time, Zhou Yating also finished breakfast, she took the dining room paper, wiped her mouth while walking to the living room, and said to us easily: "This is not simple, the ancestors of our Wumen have left so many underground palaces in various places, and there are countless good treasures in them, let's just choose a few large tombs to excavate, and just take them out and put them in the auction company to pick up and sell them ourselves!"
I looked up at her sharply and asked worriedly, "Is this okay?" That's the property of the entire Wumen, and their old people will agree?"
Li Yulian said with a smile: "What's this, the Witch Association originally represents our entire Wumen, and the shareholders of the art auction company are also themselves, who has much to say if you help them make money? Maybe when we need assistance when we dig the cemetery, they will actively send people to cooperate with us!"
I nodded, I did understand this, so I got up and said to Zhou Xiaomei: "Okay, Zhou Xiaomei, don't complain! I will arrange it later, and I will get some good treasures for the company to auction at that time! You go to work in the company first, remember to look for more buyers in the back, tell them that our auction company will soon sell good things, and let them prepare money to participate in the auction as soon as possible!"
Zhou Xiaomei reached out and picked up the satchel from the table, and carried it on her shoulder very quickly, she walked towards the door and turned back and said: "Okay, then you have to count when you speak, don't find a group of buyers at that time, but the company can't come up with something, then it's a shame!"
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I promise that there are good treasures to go to the company! Even if we don't have time to discover, I have a few treasures at home, and if it doesn't work, I can take them to make up for it first!"
Zhou Xiaomei immediately stopped after hearing this, turned around and said to me: "Then don't wait, entrust your few things directly to the company for auction, first give the company a good start, and brighten the eyes of the outside world!"
I didn't expect Zhou Xiaomei's temperament to be so anxious, I froze in place after listening to it, this was originally just a statement, but I turned out to be cold here, embarrassed and didn't know how to end!
At this time, Li Yulian teased me and said, "President, what good treasures do you have, why have I never seen them?"
I coughed and said, "Why haven't you seen it! Didn't you see it when you auctioned off the Great Wizard's Ring a few years ago, they were all gifts from their old people, and I think the things they could get their hands on should be very valuable!"
Li Yulian nodded suddenly and said, "Oh, I remember, it turns out that you mean this! But this is a gift from your senior brothers and sisters, do you really want to sell it?"
I smiled and replied, "I originally only used it for emergency purposes, and I certainly don't want to sell it unless I have to!"
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaomei hurriedly said: "Now it's time to get to the bone, hurry up and take it out, the company's business will improve sooner, we will lose a little less money!
Seeing that Zhou Xiaomei was urging so tightly, I had to call Wen Yuan, go back to the room with me to rummage, and turn out all the jade gifts that Hua Qing gave me in the auction, and then asked Wen Yuan to take these items to the auction company to find Hua Yongde to arrange an auction.
After Wen Yuan and Zhou Xiaomei left, Li Yulian also got up to go to work, she looked at her watch, and said very anxiously: "Ouch, it's seven o'clock, I have to go to work in the association quickly, and I have to have a meeting with the people of the Cultural Relics Bureau today!
"Oh!", I got up and drove her to the door, watching her quickly leave the steps and walk away in a hurry.
Zhou Yating glanced at me, then looked at me and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, my senior sister works hard, you really found the right person to find her to be the chairman of the Witch Association, otherwise how can you be so easy as now!"
"yes!", I sighed, turned back to the living room, and began to think about where we were going to find the baby next.
Since Guo Qianqian's death, there has been a lack of people around me who are good at collecting information, and I originally looked for several tombs with Wen Yuan, but because I knew too little information, I never knew where to start. Such a plot,Once again aroused my thoughts about Qianqian,I didn't realize that she was so important to me before.,Only when I lost it did I remember all her good.,I found that I'm really a sad person.,Blame yourself for your mediocrity.。
When I was stuck in painful memories, Zhou Yating suddenly said, "Xiao Feng, why don't we just go and visit the tomb of the Ghost King!"
My keen nerves told me for the first time, did this Zhou Yating start to look towards her master again, is this trying to induce me to help her master complete the task?
I replied coldly, "Good and decent, why did you suddenly mention the Tomb of the Ghost King again!"
Zhou Yating said very tactfully: "That, the ghost king is not your twenty senior brother, there must be a lot of good treasures in his underground palace!"
I replied unhappily: "Yes, the tombs left by the people in the Wumen are not small, which underground palace will have fewer good treasures?"
Zhou Yating frowned at me for a few seconds, and then asked very seriously, "Xiao Feng, have you heard of Murong Chui?"
I replied disdainfully: "I know, the famous god of war of the five dynasties and ten countries, the emperor on horseback, why did he suddenly mention this person?"
Zhou Yating replied very mysteriously: "Then have you ever thought about who your second senior brother was in his last life, how could he have so much money to overhaul the tomb for himself?"
I shook my head and asked, "I don't know, could it be that his last life was Murong Chui, the founding emperor of Houyan?"
Zhou Yating smiled and said, "Yes, since you also know about him, then you should understand that there should be a lot of good treasures in the Ghost King's Tomb, right?"
I was a little surprised, but soon I sighed and said: "Hey, last time we went to visit Luo Ji's Mausoleum, we were just lucky, Luo Ji herself came out to meet us! If we really let us break into the bronze qin soul destroying array in the mausoleum, we may not be able to come back alive! This ghost king's tomb is the most famous murderous tomb in the country, didn't we already see the power of those Yin soldiers last time, if we don't have a certain certainty, we will be sent to death!"
Zhou Yating said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, haven't you already taken Luo Ji's hosta, just show it to the ghost king when the time comes, he will definitely not embarrass us!"
"Come on!", seeing Zhou Yating working so hard to help her master complete the task, I was very unhappy and said: "I'm afraid that we haven't seen the ghost king yet, and we have already been killed by those yin soldiers! Last time, we were only in the valley near the ghost king's tomb, and we sent so many yin soldiers to deal with us, if we really entered the ghost king's tomb, who knows if there will be any more powerful ghosts inside!"
Seeing that a few words of persuasion to me had no effect at all, Zhou Yating suddenly became angry, and said loudly at me: "Yes, yes, the tomb of the ghost king is very dangerous! But what tomb will have a bunch of treasures in it, and then it will not do any anti-theft mechanism! If there is such a tomb, after so many years, it has already been stolen, are you still waiting for you to go?"
After speaking, Zhou Yating ran up the stairs angrily and went back to her room to rest.
Zhang Xianyun looked up at Zhou Yating, then walked over and sat beside me, and said to me with a smile: "Uncle, this week Yating has a really big temper, she will get furious if she can't say three or two sentences, which is really far worse than my aunt!"
I was shocked after hearing this, stared at him stunned for a few seconds, and then asked him, "Xianyun, do you say that we have to go to the tomb of the Ghost King to get the other three ghost tiger talismans?"
Zhang Xianyun shook his head and said: "No, we still have a choice! It's just that for the sake of the future of the Witch Association and Brother-in-law, we can't offend Zhao Yanyang for the time being! Now she is the most powerful in the Witch Sect, in case she is unhappy and joins others to recover their investment and withdraw from the Witch Association, then all your efforts will be in vain, Uncle!"
I frowned and looked at him, my head was a mess! Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven is really inhuman, knowing that going to the Tomb of the Ghost King is a life of death, and that I am just a pawn in Zhao Yanyang's hands, but I still can't get rid of her control? Why do I have to start this witch association, even if I can make a lot of money in the future, but what do I want so much money for?
