"Elegant bribery?" Zhuang Shikai stepped forward and picked up a blue and white porcelain vase from the cabinet next to him, and smiled knowingly: "I understand."

If "black gold" refers to donations between politicians/gangsters.

Then "elegant bribery" is the interest between shopping mall owners/politicians.

For example, let’s take antiques.

You know that the blue and white porcelain in Master Zhuang's hands is fake, and he also knows that the blue and white porcelain in Master Zhuang's hands is fake, but if you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, who will know that the blue and white porcelain is fake?

So how much do you think an antique blue and white porcelain can be sold for?

Sorry, can it really be sold for a lot of money, hundreds of thousands, millions, or is it just based on words?

If the price is high, it is said to be "eye-catching", and if the price is low, it is said to be "picking up the slack". The exact amount depends on how much the benefits behind the "elegant bribe" are worth, and how the two parties want to divide the accounts.

This kind of bribery can be described as "gentle and elegant", so it is called "elegant bribery".

Porcelain is just one of the iconic ones. All kinds of jades, Buddhist beads, anything with the word "play" can be played like this. Otherwise, how can it be called "play"?

Chinese culture is broad and profound.

The corrupt authorities in Taiwan only have dross and no essence.

"Mr. Zhuang, just understand. This Tianqing Building is my territory. It is called Tianqing Building because I like blue and white porcelain."

"But the person who comes to Tianqinglou most often is not me, but several senior officials from Taiwan's Construction Bureau and Development Association and a large group of businessmen under them."

"A person like me who has a sinecure job is only worthy of being a signboard, covering up for them and watching how they make the Yuanzi soup. Alas..." Curator Qin sighed with emotion, then pointed to the seat opposite and said: "Zhuang

Sir, please sit down, Mrs. Zhuang."

"Thank you." Zhuang Shikai put the blue and white porcelain vase back into the cabinet, nodded his thanks, and then sat on two bamboo mat seats with Liu Mei. Curator Qin sat across from him as the host and took out the "High Mountain" in the jar.

"Tea" and began to boil water to make tea for Mr. Zhuang.

Curator Qin started talking about the scandal of "elegant bribery" as soon as they met, which shows his disgust for the Taiwan authorities. After all, Rose, Zhuang Shikai and others are not clean-skinned. Rose is still a frequent visitor to "Tianqinglou"

, I also bought a lot of "cans" at Tianqinglou.

Those "jars" are posted in Tianqinglou for sale...the money from the jars is naturally transferred to the boss behind the scenes.

This time Rose happened to come to contact him about the dragon head, which made Director Qin smell the opportunity of matchmaking.

However, the fact that Curator Qin can be the face of "Tian Qing Lou" shows that it is not so "clean".

It's probably because of his character as a cultural person that he has a little bit of conscience, or double standards. It may also be that someone has grasped something, and he feels that the situation is not right recently, so he wants to have contact with the north.

This person is just a "cultured person", so don't think of him as too superior.

Of course, it’s good to be aware of this matter, and there is no need to expose it in person. After all, dividing enemies for the motherland is a responsibility...

So Zhuang Shikai naturally took the tea from Director Qin, picked up the tea cup with two fingers, and sipped the hot tea.

He raised his eyes and said: "High mountain tea is okay."

“But it’s very different from domestic tea.”

Curator Qin heard something in his words and quickly smiled and said: "Environmental issues, the variety and quality of tea produced in small places are far inferior to those in China."

"Well, as the director of the Taipei Museum, to be fair, many treasures are not suitable for collection in Taipei. Taipei's climate, humidity, and environment all have a lot of impact on national treasures."

"So... I think it's a good thing to return the animal heads to the country!"

Curator Qin preached in an upright manner.

Zhuang Shikai loudly praised: "Yes!"

"If that's possible, how about you be more generous?"

Zhuang Shikai raised his eyebrows and used respectful words when speaking.

Curator Qin was shocked, and quickly put down his tea cup, forcing a helpless smile: "Mr. Zhuang, I have tried my best to smuggle out one or two items with my authority. There are too many things, and the Taiwanese army is not a vegetarian!"

"

"As you know, the military keeps an eye on things like museums. I made the animal head because I have a good relationship with the military."

"I understand you, I understand you." Zhuang Shikai finished drinking the tea, put down the cup, and showed a "one of our own" evil smile: "It seems that you have not done the smuggling of national treasures once or twice."

"I won't embarrass you, just take the dragon head out."

Curator Qin reluctantly sneered twice, stood up and said: "Occasionally, I help others carry a few pieces. The dragon head is large, so I can only transport it in one piece, otherwise I can pack a few more for you."

"Okay, don't say any kind words."

"Yes, Mr. Zhuang." Curator Qin turned around and took out a wooden box from the tea cabinet. With a click, he placed the wooden box on the center of the table.

The wooden box occupies half of the tea table.

Curator Qin opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing a bronze dragon head with an open mouth and teeth, two horns, and an angry look.

Zhuang Shikai looked at the lifelike dragon's head and his extraordinary agile eyes, stared at it for a moment, and finally commented: "It's a bit impressive!"

"After all, the dragon is a symbol of Chinese civilization. This dragon head was carved with great effort and is indeed an extraordinary work of art. Not to mention it has historical value." Curator Qin agreed.

Zhuang Shikai nodded to Rose next to him. Rose immediately stepped forward to close the lid, picked up the cloth bag, wrapped the wooden box, and placed it next to her.

"Since Mr. Qin is so sincere, I will not let you down." Zhuang Shikai smiled, reached into the pocket of his black suit, and took out a small card: "It's what you want."

He pressed it on the table and handed it to Curator Qin.

"ID card!!!" Curator Qin immediately opened his eyes wide with shock on his face.

This is the Mainland ID card!

"That's right!" Zhuang Shikai nodded and said with a smile: "Whether you go this year or wait until Taiwan returns, whether you go alone or with a group of people and a batch of things..."

"Don't worry about taking a plane, taking a ferry, or swimming on a sampan!"

"This ID card has been registered with the National Security Department. As long as you call the mainland police station, you will get preferential treatment immediately! It guarantees that you will be safe and sound, spend your old age in peace, and even get a public position, establishment, and at the worst, you can become a professor.

teacher."

"You know the value of this ID card. It is not an end for you, it is just an opportunity. It depends on you how much value this opportunity can create..."

Curator Qin took a deep breath to calm down, then took the ID card and put it in his arms, stood up and bowed: "Thank you Mr. Zhuang for the opportunity."

You know, this ID card is not that easy to get.

How many people in Taiwan need ID cards?

What's more, this ID card is not limited to time or circumstances.

This is what Mr. Zhuang asked Yang Jianhua for before leaving Hong Kong Island. He is working hard to promote cross-strait peace, and the North will naturally be happy to see the results.

"Sit down." Zhuang Shikai waved his hand.

Curator Qin sat back down and said with emotion: "I thought I was bribing you with Long Shouya, but I didn't expect that you bribed me with ya."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Zhuang Shikai said disdainfully: "What I am doing is not a bribe, but a heart that accepts all rivers and rivers for the compatriots in the Mainland who have great righteousness!"

"Those who know how to adapt to the current situation...will naturally have their opportunities. If you resist stubbornly, you will die!"

Master Zhuang said this very firmly.

Curator Qin nodded and said, "I made a mistake."

"Director Qin, let's make tea together next time." Zhuang Shikai got what he wanted and didn't think about it for long. He stood up and said

Curator Qin heard the string and knew its elegant meaning.

"Mr. Zhuang, I'll take you out." He immediately stood up to see the guest off.

Soon, Zhuang Shikai walked out of Tianqinglou wearing a suit.

Rose walked closely with her wooden box in hand.

The two of them got into the car in the middle, and the Tiandao Alliance bodyguards immediately got into the car, and the convoy broke through the rain and drove back to the urban apartment.

This time Zhuang Shikai came to Taiwan and had no intention of doing it himself. Just kidding! What is his identity? Does he need to do it himself when he comes to Taiwan to pick up something?

Regardless of whether it was stealing or robbing, if he does it himself, he will lose! What he wants is for others to send it back!

Fortunately, the overall process went very smoothly, and curator Qin from Taipei obediently presented the "dragon head" to the audience.

"Usually, Curator Qin takes the treasures in the museum out to play with, and usually puts them back as fakes. With Curator Qin's eyesight and team, the fakes are just like the real ones. As long as there are people in Taiwan playing tricks, he will not

Something will happen."

"However, this time Director Qin crossed out the 'dragon head' from the list of cultural relics. It seems that he is determined to revolt!" Rose said while riding in the car.

Zhuang Shikai smiled and turned to look at her: "I'm not interested in how they play with antiques... Now, I'm more interested in how they play with you."

"Bad guy!" Rose punched Zhuang Shikai on the chest, but her cheeks were full of spring and flushed.

"don't want!"

"don't want!"

Outside the window, the spider hiding in the corner shouted loudly.

Zhuang Shikai's expression was stunned, and he suddenly stopped moving, looked into Rose's eyes and said, "You didn't send aunt to clean the house?"

Rose blinked her eyelashes, opened her eyes wide, and looked puzzled.
