"That auction is organized by an underground trading market in Lianzhou City, commonly known as the black market. It is held once a year!"
"Lianzhou is located on the national border, bordering South Vietnam and Khmer. Many people come here to trade..."
"The leader of the market, nicknamed Dragon King, is one of my cousins. His real name is Long Dingkun, and he is from the Nanyun Long family!"
"The Long family is related by marriage to our Gong family. He and my mother are cousins. In theory, our Gong family also has a share in this auction..."
"I asked my cousin to check. The auctioneer of the porcelain doll is a woman named Alima from Lianzhou City. She comes from a village in Boluo Mountain on the border..."
…
Gong Changfa told Chen Muyu everything he knew.
Chen Muyu did not interrupt him, and waited until he finished speaking before asking, "Is there anything special about this woman?"
Gong Changfa shook his head, "My cousin gave me detailed information. I have read it. It is very ordinary. He is just an ordinary villager. He came to Lianzhou to work in June this year, and he also worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant..."
"Do you know where the porcelain doll came from?" Chen Muyu asked.
The palace chief said, "There are rules in this underground auction. The items sold by customers are not asked about their provenance or origin. However, my cousin has already gone to find that woman. When we arrive in Lianzhou, we should be able to see her!"
"Hard!"
Chen Muyu didn't say anything more and closed his eyes for a while.
Lianzhou!
Like many places in Nanyun, this is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Many ethnic groups live together and you can see many different customs.
After arriving in Lianzhou, I went directly to Gong Changfa's cousin's villa in Xicheng without stopping.
The Long family is also well-known in Nanyun, although it is still far behind the Gong family, but because they have been related to the Gong family for generations, and with the support of the Gong family in recent years, the business has been booming.
Almost everyone in Nanyun knows that the Long family has always produced beauties, and there are countless of them who have married into other wealthy families.
Long Dingkun had three older sisters and two younger sisters, three of whom were married into the Gong family. He could really be said to be a proper brother-in-law to the third power.
This man's appearance is not ugly, but he is definitely not good-looking. He is tall and thick-set, with a fierce look on his face. He stares at everyone he sees, and he is quite imposing.
Maybe the Long family has given all their good looks to the women, while the men are much more ordinary.
The study room is filled with bookshelves. He seems to be an educated man, but many of the books seem to be untouched, just like decorations.
Tea is boiling on the coffee table, and a set of mahogany tea sets is very grand and costs hundreds of thousands at least.
Where are the two girls in cheongsam making tea? It's quite nice.
Rich people just like to play with style.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Chen, this tea is called Icelandic Ancient Tree. It is a specialty of Nanyun. I am a rough man and don't know much about this. Please taste it!" Long Dingkun raised the cup and faced Chen Muyu.
Tea please.
He heard about it from Gong Changfa's mouth. The old man of the Gong family had repeatedly told him to take good care of this young man. He also asked Gong Changfa to accompany him throughout the whole process. One can imagine the identity of this young man.
Therefore, Long Dingkun did not dare to neglect. Even the tea he brought out was of the highest quality, and he could not bear to drink it after it had been sitting there for a long time.
"oh?"
Chen Muyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Looking at the soup, the color is uniform and bright, as thick as oil; tasting the taste, it is varied and leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth; the taste is sweet, mellow and long-lasting, and it lasts for a long time. It is indeed a good tea!"
Chen Muyu praised, "I have heard of the name of the ancient trees in Iceland for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to taste them. When I saw them today, they are indeed extraordinary!"
"Ha ha……"
When Long Dingkun heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "As long as Mr. Chen likes it, I have also collected some top-notch Icelandic ancient trees here. I will give them to Mr. Chen to take back later, so we can become normal again!"
“Boss Long is so polite!”
Chen Muyu waved his hand. This tea is indeed top-quality. Among the teas he has ever drunk, its taste is basically one of the best. The most important thing is that this tea is also very famous. The real top-quality ancient Icelandic tree, the price is also ridiculously high. He has seen it sold for more than a dozen
In case of cake.
The key to high-quality goods is that they are rare. Even if you have money, it is difficult to get truly high-quality goods.
"I'm not here today to enjoy tea. I just have something to ask Boss Long for help!" Chen Muyu turned directly to the topic.
Long Dingkun put down his tea cup and said, "Mr. Chen, don't say that. Being able to serve Mr. Chen is a blessing to Mr. Long. Mr. Gong has told me that Mr. Long will definitely do his best. I have found the person you are looking for.
He should be on his way here now, Mr. Chen will be here after having some tea!"
Chen Muyu nodded slightly, "How did you identify that porcelain doll?"
Long Dingkun said, "At that time, three appraisers worked together to appraise it. The porcelain doll should be some kind of ancient ritual vessel, with at least a history of thousands of years. The objects from the middle and late Tang Dynasty were also appraised with instruments later, and the results were authentic.
It’s worth a lot of money, so it was put up for auction!”
"In the end, it was a buyer from Xichuan who auctioned it off. I checked and found that it was Xu Sihai, the boss of Xichuan Sihai Group. The auction price was 12 million!"
After listening to Long Dingkun's words, Chen Muyu nodded slightly, "Xu Sihai is my fiancée's uncle. It is precisely because of this that I came to Nanyun this time..."
"oh?"
Long Dingkun was stunned for a moment, then his face changed slightly, "But there's something wrong with that thing? Could it be that it's fake?"
It should be impossible. After all, the three appraisers they hired are all masters in porcelain appraisal. It is possible that one of them can detect porcelain, but it is impossible to detect all of them. Besides, at that time, they were experts in instrument appraisal.
It can make mistakes, but machines can't make mistakes, right?
Chen Muyu waved his hand, "There is nothing wrong with the items, but something unexpected happened. I have to ask the seller to find out..."
Long Dingkun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no problem with the things, if there was any problem, he really couldn't bear it when Chen Muyu came to find it like this.
After all, the items came from their auction. Even if Chen Muyu didn't trouble them, if the news spread, it would damage their family's brand.
After chatting about other things, not long after, the person invited by Long Dingkun arrived.
A woman in her forties was wearing national costumes, a short skirt, her white legs exposed, and a headscarf on her head. She seemed to have a pretty good figure and appearance, and she looked a bit like a MILF.
Behind him were two burly men in suits wearing sunglasses, both of whom were Long Dingkun's men, sent to pick him up.
The woman was a little timid. When she entered the study, she felt awkward and looked around as if she had been kidnapped.
"Hey, big girl, it's different when you have money. With this outfit and makeup, you are more than ten years younger!" Long Dingkun looked at the woman in front of him. If nothing else, this guy is...
