In the warehouse, He Xiao watched one easel after another.

After making the decision, he couldn't help but feel even more nervous.

It's best to buy these paintings without any surprises.

"Little comrade, what is your family doing in Xiangjiang?"

Aunt Niu looked at He Xiao in surprise, and the people who were willing to spend three or four hundred thousand yuan to buy paintings must have a lot of net worth, maybe they are all big capitalists in Xiangjiang.

"Oh, my family has opened a restaurant in Xiangjiang."

"Restaurant?"

Aunt Niu's heart moved, and she hurriedly walked in front of He Xiao.

Looking around, she whispered: "Little comrade, my lover is going to study in Xiangjiang in a few months, do you see if I can use RMB to exchange some Hong Kong dollars with you?" ”

He Xiao wanted to complain in his heart, the painting hadn't arrived yet, and he didn't dare not change it.

With a smile on his face, he hurriedly agreed.

"You are Fangfang's aunt, that's my aunt, don't you just exchange some Hong Kong dollars? No problem, you want to change as much as you want. ”

"Hey, Xiao He, you are really good at talking, I will help with these paintings."

Aunt Niu was happy in her heart, it was not easy for her lover to go to Xiangjiang, she wanted to exchange more Hong Kong dollars, so that her lover could buy more electrical appliances.

glanced back at Lu Fangfang, and saw that her friend's daughter had been next to a man named Han Chunming, and she still had some regrets.

In the middle of the night, Comrade Xiao Zhang led a man in his fifties and walked in.

Aunt Niu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran over.

"Maverick, what's going on? Someone wants to buy a painting from our foreign guest department? ”

Aunt Niu nodded, hurriedly introduced He Xiao, and finally didn't forget to say some good things.

"Also from Xiangjiang?"

The leader looked carefully at He Xiao not far away, and then frowned.

After thinking about it, he was still a little embarrassed in his heart.

"The paintings in our warehouse will not have a good impact if they are all sold at once, so you go and tell him that we can only sell a small part."

Aunt Niu and Xiao Zhang were all stunned when they heard it.

If the painting is sold, the funds in the ministry will be sufficient all of a sudden, what is the bad effect of this?

Obviously, the leader has urged him before, and he has to reduce the price to deal with it, why is this not sold?

Aunt Niu was a little puzzled, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Leader, this is not very good?" The comrades in Xiangjiang said that they would buy them all. ”

"What's so bad? You can't let the ministry's treasury be left at all, so it's decided. ”

Aunt Niu rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but say again: "Then leader, people buy so many paintings at once, do you want to get a discount?" ”

"Just at the original price, okay, you can deal with it, just do what I say."

The leader looked again, then turned and left.

Seeing this, He Xiao hurriedly ran over and asked about the situation.

After Aunt Niu finished speaking, he was directly stunned, "What? Can only buy a part of the paintings? What does this mean? ”

At this time, Aunt Niu had vaguely understood in her heart, she had been in the agency for decades, and she had seen a lot of this.

Walking in front of He Xiao, she whispered: "Xiao He, these things may be reserved for others, it's good to sell them to you, you can buy them quickly." ”

“……”

He Xiao opened his mouth and groaned in his heart.

I didn't expect that I would encounter this kind of thing, ahh

"Aunt Niu, part of it is part of it, but I can pick the paintings in this warehouse, right?"

"You can choose, I can call the shots in this matter, don't pick a part, you can pick half of it, and hand over the money, no one can say anything."

He Xiao glanced at Aunt Niu in surprise, he was right to agree neatly just now.

It's worth it to exchange some Hong Kong dollars for half of the paintings.

At that moment, he didn't delay any longer, and immediately greeted Han Chunming and Lu Fangfang, and a few people picked them up with sacks.

He Xiao first selected famous paintings that are relatively expensive in the current market, such as the works of Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, and Xu Beihong.

The paintings of these people, big or small, were all packed into sacks.

Next is the paintings of Pan Tianshou, Li Keran, Fu Baoshi, Huang Binhong and others, the works of these people, he first picked the large ones, and waited for the large ones to be installed, and he also put them in the medium size.

As for some of the painters he didn't know, he chose all the big sizes.

The warehouse is too big, and it's a little slow to pick up just three people.

Aunt Niu looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but step forward to help, and a few people picked it for a while, and even the sack was not enough.

He Xiao took out a stack of money from his pocket and asked Han Chunming to hurry up and buy some sacks, and by the way, solicit some more goods.

There were 10,000 small paintings in the storehouse, and he picked half of them to make four or five thousand, and he had to find a lot of people to transport them back.

Time passed minute by minute, and several people picked up until noon in the warehouse, and the painting was not finished.

He Xiao asked Han Chunming and a few people to eat nearby first, and he rode a little Suzuki to the restaurant in Shuaifu Hutong.

told Lou Xiao'e about the situation of the museum, and he immediately wanted to take the money.

"How much do you need?"

He Xiao thought for a while and said:

"More than 4,000 paintings, most of the ones I picked are large-size, I estimate that it will cost about 150,000, I still have 30,000, you can give me another 120,000."

Lou Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

120,000, much less than the previously estimated 200,000, the money is worth spending.

Getting up and opening the safe, she said to her son, "A bundle of 10,000 yuan, you can fill it yourself." ”

He Xiao walked over with a sack and immediately packed it inside.

To be honest, the 10,000 yuan in this era is a bit exaggerated, and he can't even hold such a large stack with one hand.

When he had counted the twelve sheaves, he picked up the sack, carried it on his back, and went out.

"He Xiao, do you want to let the people from the restaurant go with you?"

"Mom, no need, I can do it alone."

He Xiao shook his head, even if he told others that the sack he was carrying was full of money, few people would believe it.

But when he walked to the first floor, he thought about it, and went to the video hall and called Taozi out.

When he and Taozi returned to the treasury of the Foreign Guest Department, Han Chunming and the others had already finished eating and continued to pick up the paintings.

He Xiao said hello and let Taozi pick it up.

Busy until two o'clock in the afternoon, several people picked out the paintings in the storeroom.

Now the remaining paintings on the shelves are all small in size, and as for the paintings of Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, and Zhang Daqian, he has not left any of them.

"Hey, hey."

He Xiao can imagine the expressions of later people.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said to Comrade Xiao Zhang: "We have selected about 4,000 paintings, you can calculate the price." ”

Comrade Xiao Zhang looked embarrassed, he hurriedly went upstairs and called four people over.

It took more than an hour, and Comrade Xiao Zhang and a few people figured out the price.

"There are 4,351 paintings in total, and the price is 153,075 yuan."
