Just like before the filming of a Hong Kong movie begins, it is necessary to pay homage to Brother Guan. Those who rob tombs to find gold must also put a lamp in the southeast corner of the tomb. To put it more bluntly, it seems that if you want to mobilize your work, you must give a gift to your head.
If you want to contract projects, you have to give people kickbacks. If you want to be famous, you have to sleep with the director. If you want to open a store, you have to maintain industrial and commercial taxes.
Similarly, the black market auction industry also has customary and unwritten rules, that is, those participating in the auction must be people in the industry. To be more serious, they must also be Chinese. This is why the wealth does not flow to outsiders.
The truth is, but now that such a Japanese suddenly appears, it means that Langjie has broken the rules.
The black market run by Langjie actually uses black market auctions to sell some items that cannot be seen in the light or cannot be sold through normal channels. Most of the sellers are poachers or tomb robbers.
Anyway, it’s all-encompassing.
Most of the buyers who come here are antique players, and many of them have certain social connections and status. They are not afraid of the unknown origin of these cultural relics, and naturally have ways to clean them up.
As for the black market itself, it only plays the role of an intermediary, buying low and selling high, making profits in the middle. However, the price they resell is often much higher than the price they buy from those people.
Ten times or even hundreds of times, plus Langjie has many purchasing channels, and some good things often appear. Therefore, it is also considered the number one figure in the domestic antique black market, and often attracts many players to come here to search for treasures.
"Boss Jiang, this is not the first time you have participated in this kind of auction. You should know our rules. I am very embarrassed if you do this."
Judging from Lang Jie's appearance, it seemed that he didn't know beforehand that a Japanese was coming. He immediately said to a middle-aged man in his fifties standing next to the Japanese, and his tone was a bit unkind.
It only took a minute or two for these three people to enter the tent. Everyone's attention was attracted by the Japanese. After hearing Lang Jie's words, they turned their attention to Boss Jiang.
On the body.
No matter how Zhuang Rui looked at it, he felt that the man looked familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had seen this man on the cover of a magazine. He seemed to be the CEO of a large enterprise in Sichuan. The annual profit of that enterprise was
It's over a billion, but I didn't expect that he would come to such an occasion. From the meaning of Langjie's words, it seemed that this was not the first time.
"Brother Langjie, fellow bosses, this time it's Jiang who did something poorly. I hope everyone will forgive me. Mr. Takeuchi has always been an anti-war person in Japan and is also a friend of the Chinese people. I hope everyone will show Jiang some face and help him in the future."
Jiang will give an explanation to everyone."
In fact, Mr. Jiang is also having a hard time saying that the technological transformation of his company this time has a core technology that has not yet been developed in China. It must cooperate with a Japanese company. The Japanese who came with him this time is that Japanese company.
Takeuchi, the vice president of the company, is also the representative responsible for this negotiation. This person likes Chinese culture very much and has collected a lot of Chinese antiques. He can be regarded as half a China expert.
Takeuchi overheard that Mr. Jiang knew where these black markets were held, so he specifically asked to come and see them, and promised Mr. Jiang that if he could be brought with him to participate in the black market auction, he would also make some concessions in the negotiations.
, Mr. Jiang really couldn't refuse such an offer, which is why the scene happened in the tent.
After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, everyone in the tent fell silent. In fact, everyone knew that in order to make high profits, many of the objects in the black market had flowed abroad and into the hands of some international collectors.
, even among these people here, some may have done this kind of thing, and Mr. Jiang is indeed a person of great status. It would be a bit uncomfortable to make such a humble plea if he loses his face.
It's so humane, so most people acquiesce.
Liu Chuan did not accept this trick. He did not know who Jiang was. He took a step forward and opened his mouth to speak, but Zhuang Rui held him back. When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
"Mumu, why are you holding me back? You don't know that I've been bothered by the Japanese since I was a child."
Liu Chuan muttered so loudly that everyone in the tent could hear it clearly. They couldn't bear to speak, but Liu Chuan spoke up, which was exactly what they wanted.
"Sir, I am extremely opposed to my country's militarism. For the crimes my country committed in your country, I am willing to use my own identity to apologize to everyone..."
Unexpectedly, Takeuchi was actually a China expert. He listened to every word Liu Chuan said. He also walked up to Liu Chuan and bent down deeply. He never lifted it up again. It seemed that Liu Chuan did not agree to his participation.
He will always be like this during this black market auction, but I don't know why Takeuchi spoke Japanese as soon as he entered the tent. With his Mandarin skills, if he had spoken less words, maybe no one would be able to recognize him.
Liu Chuan's character has always been to accept soft things rather than hard ones. Takeuchi's behavior in front of him made him speechless. Moreover, during the war years, his grandfather killed many Japanese soldiers with his own hands.
Although there are a few more bullet holes in his body, he still has a huge advantage. Thinking of this, Liu Chuan waved his hand and said: "If you want to participate, just participate. If you ask me what I want to do, go to Boss Langjie." The meaning in his words was different.
I have no objection.
"Thank you, little brother. If you need Jiang's help in the future, Jiang will do his best to help."
After hearing Liu Chuan's words, Mr. Jiang felt relieved. Except for Zhuang Rui, who was unfamiliar to a few people, the rest of the people in the tent were more or less familiar with each other, and they would probably betray him.
Now that Liu Chuan has relented, naturally no one will object anymore.
Mr. Jiang turned sideways and said something to a young man next to him. The man immediately walked out, holding a box of business cards in his hand, and distributed them to everyone in the tent one by one.
"Haha, you are really generous."
Liu Chuan took the gold-gilt business card and laughed in a low voice. This time his voice was very low. After all, he no longer objected to the Japanese participating in the auction, and there was no need to offend Mr. Jiang, who seemed to have a good background.
Already.
"You kid, you can't stop saying a few words."
Zhuang Rui poked Liu Chuan in the waist and asked him to sit back on the chair. Zhuang Rui had other plans in mind. With his own eyes, he could give the Japanese some trouble in a while, so why bother?
On the surface, he acts as a villain.
"Okay, I've wasted a lot of time on everyone today, let's get started now."
Seeing that the storm had subsided, Langjie waved his hand, and a few young men immediately came over and set up a square table in the middle of the tent. Then one of the two people standing in the corner opened the curtain behind them and took some food from inside.
An object was brought out, placed on a plate, and brought out.
Only then did Zhuang Rui realize that that was where the auction items were placed. No wonder it was always guarded.
"Everyone knows that although I am personally opposed to hunting Tibetan antelopes, there are always some people who will do this kind of thing. Some time ago, through some channels, I retained this Shatush that was shipped overseas, but I am a businessman.
People, things still have to be sold. The first auction item today is a Shatoosh shawl. As everyone knows, Shatoosh means "King of Cashmere". The starting price of this shawl is 10,000 RMB!"
Langjie's voice rang in the tent, explaining the origin of this lot to everyone present. Originally, the origin of the lot here did not need to be explained, but for Tibetans, the reputation of slaughtering Tibetan antelopes is not very good.
, so he also said a few more words, and the young man holding the plate walked around the place where everyone was sitting, folded the shawl with beautiful patterns on it, and let everyone
Observed closely.
When the young man returned to the center of the tent, Langjie took off a ring in his hand, picked up the shawl on the plate, and put a corner of the shawl through a section of the ring. Langjie gently pulled the other end of the ring with his hand.
After a moment, the entire shawl, about 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, was as soft as a ball of silk thread and as smooth as water, passing through the ring.
This shawl is extremely attractive to women. Even the woman in sunglasses who had not spoken a word, after taking a deep look at the shawl, quickly typed in her notebook, seeming to be searching.
What.
"Brother Ma, what a beautiful shawl, buy it for me, okay..."
The seductive woman's trilling tone sounded again.
"Okay, my little darling, let's buy it. Boss Langjie, I'll pay 10,000."
The fat man had just lost face in front of Zhuang Rui. Now he seemed eager to get it back and made the first bid.
To everyone's surprise, the woman in sunglasses didn't make an offer after taking her eyes off the computer screen. The rest of the people in the room had no interest in the shawl. After waiting for a few minutes, Langjie said, "Since no one is interested anymore."
If you bid, then this shawl is..."
"I'll pay fifteen thousand..."
Zhuang Rui's voice interrupted Langjie's words and made Langjie excited. Of course the seller thought that someone had raised the price of his items, so he immediately shouted: "Boss Liu offered 15,000, and now it is 15,000."
Yuan, do any friends have any offers?"
At this time, the woman with sunglasses turned sideways and glanced at Zhuang Rui. Although she was wearing sunglasses, Zhuang Rui saw a look of contempt in her eyes.
"Hey, you have a lot of money, why did you buy this thing? Oh, I understand..."
Liu Chuan was a little strange at first, but he immediately reacted and started laughing lewdly.
