Han Chang cannot be blamed for not being confident in his heart. It is really a bit overwhelming. If it weren't for his participation a few times before, he would have been 100% sure that the matter was true, and this time there were antiques of national treasure-level appearances, he wouldn't have told Qin Yushi rashly.

Of course, this is also because of Qin Yushi's retirement. If he was still in his previous position, Han Chang would definitely keep silent. This kind of thing that can only be done but cannot be promoted is Qin Yushi's character who is just a little bit, and if he knows it, there will definitely be trouble.

"No, I believe Su Mu will make the wisest choice." Qin Yushi continued to firmly believe as always.

"Hope so."

Thirty-five minutes later.

Su Mu finally appeared in front of the two old men, and after seeing Han Chang also, he was not much surprised. It was normal for Qin Qing to be invited to marry, so he should come over to his relationship with Qin Yushi. After a brief greeting, Qin Yushi began to get to the topic.

"Su Mu, I hope you keep the secrets when I told you today. Of course, I said this not to force you to do something, but just to make you understand that this matter is too crucial. It is so important that I am so excited that I can't wait to fly over quickly."

Qin Yushi's words made Su Mu's heartbeat inexplicably accelerate.

Could it be easy to make such a grand thing like Qin Yushi? If Su Mu had a choice, he really wanted to get up and leave. But he knew that since Qin Yushi emphasized on the phone that he had to come, he naturally could not leave like this. Besides, his curiosity was also mobilized, wanting to know what Qin Yushi was talking about.

"Uncle Qin, tell me, I will definitely keep my mouth shut." Su Mu said with a serious expression.

"I'll talk about this."

Han Chang interrupted Qin Yushi's intention to speak, and looked at Su Mu slowly said, "Mayor Su, you also know my identity. I am an archaeologist and love cultural relics very much. At the same time, I am also a collector. I am willing to collect any valuable cultural relics. For this reason, I have participated in many auctions. When it comes to the form of auctions, there is a type called dark auction. I wonder if you have heard of this?"

"Dark Auction? Uncle Han, I have really heard of it." Su Mu said with a smile.

"Really? Do you know too?" This ↗style_txt; Han Chang's turn was unexpected.

"Yes, the so-called dark auction is actually a form of not wanting to be auctioned publicly. The reason why it is called dark is that most of the things at the auction are through abnormal channels. For example, those excavated from tombs, those who come back from abroad, those who are shameless, are created, and these are all kinds of things. Because it is difficult to take them out for auction publicly, they also want to save time and effort to exchange them for money as soon as possible, so there is a dark auction."

"Of course, because this kind of auction is called darkness, it is a very test of your vision. You may find a bargain or lose money. Things at the auction cannot be pursued as long as they are over. It is impossible to say that you want to get it back if you lose money, or you want to deny it if you lose money. These are not allowed. And auctions like this naturally require people with strong strength and ability to hold them. Most people can only think about it."

"At the same time, the identity of participants must be strictly reviewed and screened. If you participate for the first time, you must have a referee to guarantee it. There is no reason to say that you are a naive person and can easily participate in the auction. No matter how much money such a person has, they will be excluded. Uncle Han, what I am talking about is a shallow understanding of the dark auction, and I don't know if it is right. If you want to say something is wrong, please point it out to me." Su Mu smiled and talked.

These words immediately surprised Han Chang and Qin Yushi. They stared at Su Mu in disbelief, showing emotion on their faces. Han Chang was even more impressed and shook his head and said, "Mayor Su, I doubt that there is something you don't know now. You know so well in the dark auction, and you are very clearer than me, an old antique. If you didn't know that your identity is Mayor Lanfeng City, I would have doubted whether you came to steal our jobs?"

"How dare you? Look at what you always say. I am just a layman. How dare you show off in front of you two? Isn't that a big knife in front of Guan Gong?" Su Mu quickly smiled and said, he would know that this was actually inseparable from Xingtang County in the past.

There is an antique street in Xingtang County where people who make a living have all kinds of things. Dark auctions are the most mysterious and most popular way to recite. If Su Mu doesn't even know this, it will be a shame to the antique world in Xingtang County.

"Since you know about this dark auction, I want to hear your opinion on dark auction? Do you think this kind of auction should be banned, illegal, and must be cracked down to the end," Han Chang asked in a deep voice with sharp light flashing with his eyes.

The attack to the end? Su Mu could see something from the expressions of Han Chang and Qin Yushi. He knew that these two wanted to express their opinions on the dark auction.

In fact, these two people asked him, "The current scale of Shengshi Tenglong, Li's Entertainment and Zheng's Group, are all brought by antiques in the final analysis. If it weren't for the antique identification technique brought by Su Mu's official list, and I thought the huge profits brought by picking up bargains, how could there be such an amazing scale now?"

"Two, you are experts in the antique industry. When you ask me about my attitude, I just want to ask you, is it better to be self-consistent or open the door?" Su Mu asked without hesitation and his eyes were calm.

"Of course, it's better to open the door." Qin Yushi responded clearly.

"I agree." Han Chang agreed. This is a matter of principle. If there is no such big deal, it is impossible for the two to become friends. But they don't know what the question asked by Su Mu has to do with the dark auction?

It’s impossible to match the wind and horses.

Is it really unrelated? Su Mu faced the two old men who were puzzled and did not keep it in a silence, and said directly: "This opinion is the same as mine. I also strongly recommend that the door be open. Only in this way can the country be rich and the people be strong. Although many technology companies now regard technology as a core secret to protect it, this is understandable, but if this technology can be globalized, it can be imagined to promote global development."

"This topic seems a bit remote, but it is actually the same as antiques. The point I have always insisted on is that good things must be taken out and appreciated. If a good thing can only be buried underground, it will have no value. If it can be taken out and admired by the world, at least it can increase cultural value and appreciation value. If there is a certain forging technique in antiques, it can also be beneficial to the reference of current technology."

"The original intention of the things made by our ancestors was definitely not to bury the bones in the ground, right? They wanted to be remembered forever. Dark auctions seem irregular, but they also hide benefits. At least they can make real treasures spread, whether they are collected or sent to museums, so this can ensure that the treasures will eventually be seen. So I personally have a positive attitude towards the circulation of cultural relics, and I don't have that much complex mentality towards dark auctions."

It turns out that the root is here.

After Su Mu's attitude was expressed, Qin Yushi and Han Chang both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, there is no need to ask about my attitude about this matter. Uncle Qin, you are the former dean. With this identity, don't you have more say?" Su Mu picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Yes, if I had the identity of the past, I would not dare to support the Dark Auction so clearly. But now I am different. I have retired and am now a free man. If I had the opportunity to recover the lost treasures in foreign countries, I would never miss it."

"Su Mu, what I want to talk to you next is the dark auction. Lao Han came over and told me that there will be a dark auction in the Grassland Province recently. There is a treasure inside that attracted me. Do you know what it is?" Qin Yushi couldn't wait to throw the question out, staring at Su Mu with bright eyes, waiting for his inquiry.

Su Mu is also quite tactful and takes the initiative to cooperate.

"What?"

"One of the nine tripods, Yangzhou tripod." Qin Yushi said with fiery eyes.

"What?"

Su Mu suddenly raised his head, looking shocked, "Uncle Qin, are you talking about it true? Yangzhou Ding, one of the Nine Cauldrons? Is this possible? Even if I don't know, I think this is a bit incredible. At least I won't believe it before I see the Yangzhou Ding. This is a bit outrageous."

"Yes, I first heard this news, and I thought it was the same as your reaction. I also thought it was a bit outrageous. But this matter was said by Lao Han, please tell me." Qin Yushi turned sideways and handed over the right to explain.

Su Mu looked at Han Chang.

"Yes, I told Lao Qin this matter. Speaking of which, I have participated in this dark auction held in Grassland Province twice, and I have gained something every time. The key is that the people who held this auction are said to be very powerful, and as long as it is said, they are never wrong. And I have experienced it twice, so I will believe it this time. It is better to believe it than to believe it, right? If it is really Yangzhou Ding, but we didn't go, we will regret it for life." Han Chang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the result.

"The mystery of the Nine Cauldrons, the hearts of many cultural relics workers."

Qin Yushi's breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes looked at Su Mu revealing some expectations.

"Old Han is right. The mystery of the Nine Cauldrons is not only the heart of all cultural relics workers, but also the heart knot of our Chinese civilization. It is not an ordinary bronze cauldron, but the Yangzhou cauldron, one of the Nine Cauldrons. Su Mu, don't tell me that you don't understand the Nine Cauldrons. If it were the Yangzhou cauldrons, we would not only get such a bronze cauldron after bringing them back, but more importantly, it can make up for the regrets of the Nine Cauldrons, and maybe we can follow the clues to find the other Nine Cauldrons."

Su Mu's expression also changed suddenly.
