Chapter 96 Fourth Master Qi’s territory

The two people drove Zhang Xiaotian's newly purchased Land Rover to Qin'an Hanwen Art Company. This was Fang Fang's first visit to Fourth Master Qi's auction company. The company is located in a business district not far from the antique market. Although it is not the city center,

But it has a strong cultural atmosphere. Because it is very close to the antique market, there are many large and small cultural exchange companies, art auction houses, etc., and Qi Siye's Hanwen Art Company is the leader here, with tall office buildings

The exteriors of the upper and lower five floors are all decorated in an antique style. It is obvious that these five floors are owned by Hanwen Art Company. There is only a giant red plaque that runs through the five floors and is full of ancient charm. It has elegant golden characters written on it.

With.

"Qin An Hanwen Art Company!"

"Hey, Fourth Master, this company is quite impressive!"

Zhang Xiaotian looked up at the large plaque and couldn't help but praise it.

"Fourth Master Qi's company is the largest cultural art company in Shanxi Province, and it is also well-known in this circle across the country! Come on, let's go in!"

Fang Fang patted Zhang Xiaotian on the shoulder!

As soon as they entered the front hall of Hanwen Company, they saw a young and beautiful front desk lady smiling and talking to the two people.

"Excuse me, what can you two do?"

"I'm here to see Fourth Master Qi!"

Equation said.

"Oh, let's see our chairman. Do you have an appointment?"

The lady at the front desk looked through her reservation book.

"Appointment? Does making a phone call before coming here count as an appointment?"

Fang Fang didn't know yet that he needed to make an appointment to see Fourth Master Qi.

"That means there is no appointment. Sorry, our chairman is very busy. If you don't have an appointment, you can't go up to see him!"

The front desk lady said apologetically.

"I have never made an appointment to see Fourth Master Qi? We have always been able to meet him with just one phone call. Are you sure that your chairman said that the appointment system applies to everyone?"

Fang Fang didn't expect that it would be quite difficult for him to get into Hanwen Company. He wasn't angry, he just thought it was a bit ridiculous that someone he knew so well would have to make an appointment when he got here.

"this……"

The lady at the front desk was a little hesitant after hearing Fang Fang's words, but she neither dared to call the chairman to ask, nor dared to let them in without permission. The scene was deadlocked for a while. The security guard in the lobby not far away seemed to see this.

Something happened, so I came over.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

The security guard asked the front desk lady.

"These two gentlemen came to see the chairman, but they didn't make an appointment, but from what they said, they seemed to be very familiar with our boss!"

"No matter how familiar it is, you can't put it up. You have forgotten what happened before. No one is allowed to put it up without an appointment!"

The security guard spoke sternly to the front desk, and then he turned to look at Fang Fang and Zhang Xiaotian.

"Sir, I'm sorry, the company has regulations. People without reservations are not allowed to enter our Hanwen Company! If you are really familiar with our chairman, then please call our chairman and ask him to

Tell us if we can let you go!"

Fang Fang looked at the security guard and asked curiously.

"Is it because something happened before that the front desk became so strict?"

"Sorry sir, no comment!"

Although the security guard refused to answer Fang Fang's questions, Fang Fang felt that he was a very qualified employee.

"Hey, you guys..."

The grumpy Zhang Xiaotian was about to get angry when he was stopped by Fang Fang. He took out his mobile phone and called Fourth Master Qi.

"Fourth Master, I went downstairs to your company, but I was stopped by the front desk and the security guard. I can't go up without your instructions!"

Fang Fang smiled bitterly.

"What? I stopped you, eh, blame me, blame me, I forgot about this, give them the phone quickly!"

Fourth Master Qi's voice sounded a little apologetic. Fang Fang handed the phone to the security guard. The security guard took the phone in confusion, and his face immediately became respectful after hearing the voice on the phone.

"Yes, okay, okay..."

The phone was returned to Fang Fang, and the security guard extended his hand to invite him.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, we have to do this for safety reasons. Please go this way. There is an elevator in front of you. The chairman's office is at the end of the fifth floor!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Fang Fang nodded politely and walked towards the elevator with Zhang Xiaotian!

The two people took the elevator to the fifth floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, they saw Mr. Qi standing at the door with a smile and looking at them.

"I'm sorry, Fang Fang, my old man's memory is getting worse and worse. I forgot to tell the front desk what you were coming, so I blocked you from the door!"

When Fourth Master Qi saw them, he hurriedly apologized.

"Fourth Master Qi, you are being serious. It's just a phone call. It's nothing. It's just... your company's security is good. The front desk and security guards downstairs are very dedicated!"

Fang Fang was indeed praising the security guard. Although he was blocked from the door, he had to admit that as a security guard, he did a very good job.

"Come, let's go into the office and chat!"

Fourth Master Qi looked at the people in the office area and took the two people to his office!

Fourth Master Qi's office is indeed his style, with a low-key ancient Chinese style, making people feel as if they have traveled through time.

"Please sit down!"

Fourth Master Qi brought the two of them to sit down next to the mahogany sofa.

"Fang Fang, you don't know that our company was robbed some time ago, and three items to be auctioned were taken away. The loss reached more than 20 million!"

Fourth Master Qi said with a distressed look on his face.

"Been robbed?"

Fang Fang and Zhang Xiaotian looked at the Fourth Master in front of them in surprise, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Yes, although our company often has valuable antiques coming in and out, except when we hold auctions and we take out those precious antiques from the storage company, these priceless things are not in our company at other times.

, so we did not hire a particularly professional security company, we just used ordinary security guards from office buildings! As a result, on that day, the three lots had just arrived at our company, and before the professional security personnel were in place in time, something happened! That was the day.

Three men randomly found a reason to enter our company, and the security guard didn't ask any questions at all!"

Fourth Master Qi also looked helpless.

"Since then, I have hired a relatively well-known security company from a neighboring province to do security work for my company at a price of three million a year. It seems that they are quite dedicated!"

"Why does this security company need to be hired from a neighboring province, and the price is so expensive?"

Zhang Xiaotian asked in surprise.

"If you don't open a company, you don't know that the current security industry is quite profitable, not to mention that it is quite famous! It seems that the security industry in our province has not paid special attention to it, and there is no particularly decent security industry.

company, so I had no choice but to leave the near and seek the far away!”

Fourth Master Qi poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

"So that's it..."

After listening to Fourth Master Qi's words, Fang Fang raised the tea cup in front of him and took a sip. He tasted it carefully. He seemed to be thinking about something when he heard Fourth Master Qi speak again from the side.

"By the way, Fang Fang, this is the profit from your remaining collection, a jade bowl, seven Tang Dynasty copper coins, two small three-color horse figurines, and a silver bowl! A total of 2030,000 yuan was sold.

, after deducting the 3% commission of 610,000, there are still 19.69 million left, it’s all here, do you see what’s wrong?”

Fourth Master Qi took out a check and handed it into Fang Fang's hand.

"Don't look at it. If the fourth master doesn't feel at ease, then no one else will!"

Only then did Fang Fang come to his senses, took the check and put it directly into his bag. Fourth Master Qi looked at him and smiled knowingly.

"By the way, you said on the phone that you wanted to see me for something. What happened?"

"Oh, that's it. I want to open an antique shop in Qin'an, and I would like to ask Fourth Master Qi to help me find a reliable palm-eye master!"

The equation expressed its appeal.

"Master of Palm Eyes? With you here, what else do I need, Master of Palm Eyes?"

Fourth Master Qi asked puzzledly.

"I guess I won't be in the store very often. I want to leave the store to Gouzi, but he doesn't know much about it, so I want to ask you to help me find a master you think you can trust!"

Fang Fang looked at Zhang Xiaotian, and then said to Fourth Master Qi.

"Oh, that's it, no problem, just leave this matter to me, I will make a good choice for you!"

Fourth Master Qi nodded, indicating that he understood the idea of ​​the equation.

"I heard from Yinan that you also opened two stores in the capital?"
