Early the next morning, I set off for the Antique Society.

"Shen Fan, come here."

When I heard Liu Qingzhong's voice, I saw him waiting for me at the door of the building.

"What do I need to do?"

I said and looked to the other side, and Tao Ronghua also arrived.

"Secretary Liu, I'm here."

"Both of you are also considered to be the ones who work for me, tell me what you want."

Liu Qingzhong glanced at Tao Ronghua and then at me, and said with a smile.

Then he patted me on the shoulder, "Shen Fan, you joined me relatively late, and I didn't have time to inform you about this matter." ”

When I went upstairs, I learned about the fair.

Saying that this is an auction is actually a "spoils sharing conference".

Most of the items auctioned were controlled by Liu Qingzhong, and the lots have long been famous.

Throughout the year, things that come out of other provinces and cities, or even directly into the ground, will be placed in the collection room of the Antique Association.

In order to reward "us" for the "loyalty" to him, Liu Qingzhong will hold a so-called auction.

Members of the Association are invited to attend.

"And the inverted bucket poured out?"

I pretended to smile curiously, "You're too powerful, aren't you?" ”

"Actually, there aren't many inverted buckets, and the few I contacted don't go down much."

Liu Qingzhong touched his head and slowly spoke, "The main thing is that the Cultural Relics Management Office is relatively strict. ”

"Alas, it's a pity, I still want to see the inverted bucket."

I looked a little disappointed, "I've been looking at antiques for so long, and I haven't seen much of an inverted bucket." ”

The so-called inverted bucket is a tomb robbery, but the name is more pleasant.

"Uh...... If you can, I can take you to see it. ”

"But it depends on my side."

Liu Qingzhong said and smiled slightly, "On our side, the tomb can never be dug up, and there have always been noble dead people who have not been discovered for thousands of years." ”

"That's right, Brother Shen, wasn't Sanxingdui just excavated before?"

Tao Ronghua agreed, "In the future, maybe there will be some four-star piles or five-star piles!" ”

With this chatting, we came to the collection room.

The collection room of the Antique Association is very detailed.

We had to wear special clothes when we went in, and we even had to pass through a sanitized room.

The protective suit made me feel bloated, and wearing an eye patch made me feel "frustrated in my vision".

But it's worth it to see what the Antique Society has in its collection.

I myself looked around and soon, saw something familiar.

"Tao Ronghua, this thing is what you did when you bombed the ship."

I saw a genuine bottle at a glance, and it happened to be something I had confirmed to be criminal.

"This ......"

"At first, Secretary Liu said let me deal with it, but if someone asked for it later, I would return it first."

Tao Ronghua glanced at Liu Qingzhong, and only after getting his nod did he continue to speak, "This one is going to be sent to the capital later." ”

Unexpectedly, on such a trip, Liu Qingzhong showed me his "incriminating evidence" so easily, and even deliberately talked to me about the taboo topic of fighting.

Of course, many antiques are supported by thousands of years of inverted bucket industry.

"Choose, one for each person."

Liu Qingzhong said that he would let Tao Ronghua and I choose.

Tao Ronghua chose a painting, which is the work of Zhang Daqian.

And I just chose an official seal of the Ming Dynasty.

With everything in order, we leave the collection room.

Taking off my bloated clothes, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's the first time you've been here, isn't it?"

Tao Ronghua is used to hiding a knife in his smile, and I smile and nod in the face of his smile.

Soon the auction downstairs will begin, and the big guys in the Hezhou antique circle are also seated.

I don't know if Liu Qingzhong deliberately or accidentally, he arranged me next to Zhou Jianguo.

Next to Zhou Jianguo are Su Yu and the seventh uncle.

They didn't even look at me, so they naturally greeted me without saying a word.

Maybe it will be a long time before they know that the news they received from Lu Yunchuan last night was given to them by me.

Last night, I asked Bai Jiahao to secretly send a message to Lu Yunchuan: Liu Qingzhong invited Shen Fan to the auction of the Antique Association.

Of course, it was also "cced" to Tao Ronghua.

Lu Yunchuan didn't react here, but Tao Ronghua began to complain that he didn't want to give him any news.

And now, under the pretext of the toilet, I went to the cubicle, took out the other phone that I had prepared all these times and started messaging.

"Tell Lu Yunchuan that when the seventh uncle comes back, tell them ......"

After sending these text messages, I cut off the battery of this phone.

It's a very old-fashioned keyphone that's old enough to remove the battery and can't be traced!

With that done, I went back to my seat.

"Master Zhou, long time no see."

I smiled and said hello, only to receive a cold nod.

The auction was very formal, and everyone was very conservative in their bids.

Only Tao Ronghua and two or three people I don't know bid very aggressively, and they bought the goods almost immediately.

I kind of get it.

It's not an auction at all.

It was Liu Qingzhong's "show-off meeting" in order to show that these people were his subordinates.

Just after the official seal I asked for was put out, Uncle Seventh and I began a fierce bidding.

"Thirty thousand."

After I shouted this price, the seventh uncle ordered Zhou Jianguo to shout out the price of 40,000.

"Fifty thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!"

You sang and we appeared, and a small official seal with a market value estimated to be only about 40,000 was pulled to 200,000.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

However, when Zhou Jianguo called this number, I didn't choose to increase the price.

In the end, the small official seal was accepted by the seventh uncle at a price of 230,000 yuan.

When the auction ended, Liu Qingzhong immediately came over.

"Why don't you increase the price, it's my face!"

There was some anger on his face.

I don't know that this "show-off conference" in his eyes is still a "face conference".

"You know, I have some relationship with Uncle Seven."

"I did this because I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between us."

"Just thank him for the previous things, and after that, I won't give him any more face!"

I said calmly, "What's more, it's just a small official seal, so there's no need to fight with him for millions or tens of millions." ”

"I'm not worthy of Secretary Liu."

Liu Qingzhong couldn't tell for a moment when he heard my words, "Okay, it's also a small thing." ”

"Secretary Liu, don't worry, I'm a man who does what he says."

With a serious face, I slowly spoke, "To say that I am doing things for you is to do things for you." ”

"I hope you do."

Liu Qingzhong nodded, but there was still a little disbelief in me in his eyes.

I knew I still needed to "dig deeper" until he believed in me completely, until ...... I have all his secrets!

And then there's another thing.

Put his "thank you gift" from Tao Ronghua's hand, that painting of Zhang Daqian!
