Since the black market auction has to deal with local rats from all over the country, if you are not careful, you will fall into trouble, so Li Dali has always acted cautiously, and in recent years, he has even planned to go ashore.
However, the saying that people can't help themselves in the world is not groundless. Li Dali wanted to stop, but even the brothers below who were working with him would not agree. In addition, some of the things he did in the past were not clean, so Li Dali wanted to stop.
The boss has always been so black and white.
But since he got to know Zhuang Rui, Li Dali seems to have seen a completely different path than before. As long as he can wipe out the past things, his black market auction can become an aboveboard one, right?
After getting acquainted with several heavyweight officials in Shishi City and Hebei Province, Mr. Li began to think about this matter. It was not difficult to clear his name and get ashore, but future development required Mr. Li to carefully consider it.
During this period, he also came to *** once. He wanted to relive the style of a starlet in a club on the outskirts of Beijing, but he never expected that this place had become Zhuang Rui's private estate.
This also made Li Dali feel more in awe of Zhuang Rui. A high-end club worth hundreds of millions had turned into a private estate in the blink of an eye. This was not something that could be accomplished simply by having money.
So after receiving Zhuang Rui's call, Mr. Li immediately called the driver and drove to ***.
"Mr. Li, please sit down, come and have a cup of tea..."
Zhuang Rui called Li Dali in the morning, but he didn't expect him to come over in the afternoon. He didn't want to entertain in the manor, so he finally made an appointment with Li Dali in the courtyard.
Because the things he wanted to discuss with Boss Li were a bit hidden, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so Zhuang Rui arranged for him to stay in the courtyard.
When Zhuang Rui goes out now, except for particularly important matters, he usually takes Hao Long with him. As a result, the security personnel in the courtyard are not enough. Zhuang Rui asked Ouyang Lei for a few who had retired from the special division.
Special forces serve as the security force of the courtyard.
Not only that, even the security guards at the manor have been reintegrated. Now these two places are the foundation of Zhuang Rui, and there is no room for any mistakes.
"Mr. Zhuang, your yard is worth a lot of money. Tsk tsk, if I can have such a residence in *** city in my life, my life will be really worth it..."
Li Dali sat under the big tree in the middle courtyard, drinking the Kung Fu tea poured by Zhuang Rui. He looked around with his eyes and made "tsk tsk" sounds of admiration from time to time. Half of his words were compliments to Zhuang Rui, but the other half
, but I really felt the shock.
Since the country liberalized the trading of courtyard houses in 2004, the price of one of the few courtyard houses in *** City is one per day. A large courtyard house like Zhuang Rui with three courtyards and two gardens has a net worth of more than one billion.
I was too embarrassed to ask the price.
"Haha, I bought it early, so I got a bit of an advantage..."
Zhuang Rui smiled when he heard this. He did not expect that domestic real estate would rise so rapidly in recent years.
Not to mention this courtyard house, the property I bought in Zhonghai cost only 10,000 yuan per square meter at the time, but now it has risen to 50,000 yuan per square meter. This is still a house with a price, and no one is willing to sell it.
The property manager called Zhuang Rui every three days and asked him if he was willing to take action.
"That's because Mr. Zhuang has good taste..." Li Dali flattered him again without showing anything.
"Okay, Mr. Li, let's talk about business..."
Zhuang Rui was almost stunned by the beauty of the lake. He straightened his face and said, "Mr. Li, I have a few pieces of official kiln porcelain. I want to go to your place. Is it convenient?"
With Zhuang Rui's current status, naturally he cannot tell Li Dali directly that he wants to make a game and needs your cooperation. Although that is what he means, he cannot say this clearly.
"Walk away from me?"
Li Dali was stunned when he heard this, and almost didn't suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.
With Zhuang Rui's status in the antique shop, if you want to determine whether an object is fake, it can be said to be real, and there is no doubt about it. In this day and age, experts still have some prestige, unlike in the past.
The streets have been so bad for several years.
Zhuang Rui ordered some meat and said, "Yes, I want to take a walk around your place. These are some pieces of Cizhou official kiln porcelain from Hebei. They are pure in color and in very good condition..."
"Wait, Mr. Zhuang, please wait first..."
When Li Dali heard about the Cizhou official kiln porcelain, he almost jumped up. As a Hebei person and someone involved in the antique business, he was very familiar with Cizhou porcelain.
The so-called Cizhou official kilns actually only existed for a short period of time in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are no records in the history of Chinese ceramics, so there is a lot of controversy in the academic world.
The theory of its existence is that from the excavated Cizhou ancient kiln site, there are some extremely exquisitely made porcelain fragments with very exquisite materials, and the inscriptions on the fragments have some signatures from the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Moreover, some unearthed documents from the Song Dynasty also contain records of Cizhou kiln porcelain being paid tribute to the royal family, so some scholars say that Cizhou once produced official kiln porcelain.
But the reason for the opposition is also very good, that is, from the Southern Song Dynasty to the present, no actual porcelain from Cizhou official kilns has been unearthed. What is scientific research? That is to conduct research based on the actual objects unearthed. Since there are no actual porcelain from Cizhou official kilns, it can naturally be said that its
No longer exists.
Just like Zhuang Rui's fixed-light sword, although it is clearly recorded in history books, people still think it is a legend because none of the so-called top ten swords exist in the world.
It was not until the advent of the Dingguang Sword, and a carbon 14 test was conducted on it, that it was confirmed that the sword was indeed a product of thousands of years ago. This unified the thinking and allowed the doubting voices in the academic community to disappear.
So when Li Dali heard the words Cizhou Guanyao, he immediately jumped up. That thing only existed in legends and no one had ever seen it. Zhuang Rui said there were only a few of them, and they were still in good condition.
, can he not be surprised?
"Mr. Zhuang, this... this is not a joke. If Cizhou official kiln porcelain is unearthed, it will definitely fill a gap in the history of ceramics. This... no one will believe this if I tell you about it..."
Li Dali didn't even need to look at the real thing to know that the thing Zhuang Rui was holding was fake. At this moment, he was cursing in his heart: "You are so rich, why would you come up with a few fake porcelain to fool people?"
What Li Dali said just now, although he did not explicitly reject it, he also expressed his opinion. It is true that he runs a black market for antiques, and his origin is not very legitimate. There are both true and false, but the things he photographed
Pretty reliable.
If Zhuang Rui took the so-called Cizhou official kiln porcelain to Li Dali's black market auction, it would be the same as if He's Bi was sold at his auction house, and few people would believe it.
"Haha, Mr. Li, I heard that an ancient kiln site in Handan was recently excavated, and a lot of exquisite Song porcelain was produced. Do you know?"
Zhuang Rui suddenly changed the topic, which made Li Dali reach out and scratch his head. He was a little confused.
Li Dali relied on antiques for a living. He even knew where the ancient tomb kiln was located a few minutes faster than the relevant state departments. However, he really knew nothing about the Handan ancient kiln that Zhuang Rui mentioned.
Know.
"Mr. Zhuang, as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be anything in Handan... Oh, I understand..."
Who is Li Dali? After so many years of wandering in the world, he turned over Zhuang Rui's words in his mind and immediately realized that Zhuang Rui was going to make a game!
To put it crudely, Zhuang Rui was trying to trick him into hyping up the unearthed Cizhou official kilns in advance, and then borrowed a ladder to launch the so-called ancient kiln porcelain. If his technique was clever, he could actually get this object out. After all, this
There are many "pseudo-politics" who are young and stupid and have a lot of money. Father Yang of Zhonghai is a representative of this type of people.
It's just that Li Dali is a little confused. With Zhuang Rui's wealth, is it worth spending such a small amount of money? No matter how valuable the Cizhou kiln is, it is still more expensive than the Yuan blue and white flowers. The Yuan blue and white flowers in Zhuang Rui's Dingguang Museum have been authenticated.
A genuine one.
Moreover, if this matter spreads out, Zhuang Ruike's reputation will be tarnished. Li Dali weighed it in his mind and said: "Mr. Zhuang, if this matter is done in a conspicuous way, it may attract the attention of some departments.
If you are inconvenienced recently, my place is quite relaxed, brother, just ask for the amount you want..."
Even if Li Dali follows the rules of black and white, he will not accept some sensitive items and will even report them to the relevant departments. Therefore, the relevant departments turn a blind eye to his black market auction house.
.
But if the news about the unearthed official kiln in Cizhou spreads, regardless of whether it is true or false, it will attract the attention of those departments. That's why Li Dali said this.
As for borrowing money, Li Dali really had this in mind. He would rather lend Zhuang Rui Qian'er eight million than cause this trouble.
"Um?"
Zhuang Rui frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect Li Dali's reaction to be so strong, but it would be really difficult to handle this matter without Li Dali.
After Zhuang Rui thought for a while, he said: "Mr. Li, you should be relatively familiar with some people abroad, right?"
"What?!"
Li Dali stood up fiercely. Today he was frightened by Zhuang Rui. This guy is not old and speaks in leaps and bounds. Why did he get involved outside the country again?
You know, Li Dali smuggled antiques just to make money, and he had done a lot of smuggling antiques out of the country. Of course, Mr. Li had rich experience in the world and was very careful in everything he did.
But Boss Li had a guilty conscience. When Zhuang Rui mentioned this, Li Dali's face suddenly turned ugly. Zhuang Rui's words were a bit of a slap in the face.
"Mr. Zhuang, although I, Li Dali, am greedy for money, I definitely get it in a wise way. I will never sell ancestral belongings..."
Li Dali replied righteously that he had indeed never done it, it was all done by his subordinates. This was quite reasonable.
