In the car, Gao Bin held the steering wheel with his left hand and held Qi Yu's little hand with his right hand. His big female fingers gently slid on the back of the hand, and the touch felt like Jiangnan silk.
Qi Yu couldn't help but said:
"What kind of fate do I have? One brother-in-law is a control freak, and the other is so possessive that you can't even be touched?"
"Nonsense, my wife's hands can be touched by others? If it weren't for the interesting thing about looking at the lotus statue, I would have destroyed that kid's hand."
Qi Yu used her other hand to hit Gao Bin, just like scratching an itch, without any force at all:
"It can't be so violent, but the vase is indeed interesting."
"Well, the workmanship is very delicate. The only drawback is that it's a bit new, but it doesn't bother me."
"Where are you going to put it?"
"Just leave it in your club and look back to see if any fools take the bait."
"Okay, but what about the couplet?"
"I have to take the couplet home and keep it. It's a good thing."
"Are you sure it's authentic?"
"Nine times out of ten, at least I don't see any problems."
"Hiss~ Those two father and son have suffered a huge loss."
"There is no way, the most valuable thing in this industry is eyesight."
Gao Bin tells the truth in one sentence.
"That's right. Then you can take me back to the club. I'll put the Lotus Buddha away."
"Okay."
...
Then, Gao Bin found another reason to go to Hou Changping's house, had lunch, and suddenly found that some of the words originally hanging on the wall were missing.
I can’t help but ask:
"Judge Hou, where are those calligraphy paintings by your noble master?"
"What Mo Bao, Mr. Gao, please stop joking."
"Haha, it's not because you kept it, right? I know it will be valuable in the future."
"No, no, a friend came to my house yesterday. By the way, you should also know him. The man who runs the auction house is named Zhang Zhongping."
Gao Bin's heart sank. Sure enough, Zhang Zhongping came over.
Hou Changping continued:
"He took a fancy to Xiaoping's words as soon as he came and insisted on taking it away. He talked about investing in advance. I couldn't resist him, so I let him take it away."
It can be seen that Hou Changping is very useful to this matter, and his face is full of joy.
"Mr. Zhang has good vision. I started too late. If I had known, I should have invited those few words home when I first came back." Gao Bin felt as if he had missed hundreds of millions, which was heartbreaking.<
/p>
"No, no, haha, just a few words. If you want, I will ask Xiaoping to write a few more for you."
Gao Bin waved his hand hurriedly:
"That won't work. Xiaoping will become a master of calligraphy in the future. He must cherish his calligraphy and not give it away casually."
"Really, is there such a thing?"
"That's not true. Think about it. Things are more valuable when they are rare. If the streets are full of Xiaoping's characters, it will definitely be worthless."
"Don't tell me, it's really true. Then you see, there's nothing I can do about it."
Gao Bin didn't dare to stay any longer, so he just found a reason to leave.
When he got downstairs, his expression turned ugly. Zhang Zhongping was so pervasive.
However, for the right to auction the Shengli Building, everyone tried their best and did everything possible. I was able to think of taking the route of Hou Changping's son, thanks to the ideas provided by Zhang Zhongping.
I have to say, this Zhang Zhongping is really a fine person!
Just when I was thinking about how to continue to flatter Hou Changping, Qi Yu called:
"Just now Zhang Zhongping from the 3D Auction House came."
"It's him again?"
There is something in this, Qi Yu asked:
"What's wrong?"
Gao Bin told Qi Yu what had just happened, and then said:
"We have overlapping ideas, so this matter is not easy to handle."
"You two really coincide with each other. He just bought a teapot from me for thirty-nine thousand!"
"Haha, I also went after your brother-in-law. Fortunately, I struck first and captured his sister-in-law."
"Screw you, but what are you going to do next? By the way, Zhang Zhongping said that there will be an art auction at the Ocean Building next Saturday, and he gave me two invitations. He probably wanted me and my brother-in-law to go.
”
Gao Bin thought for a moment:
"Yan Ruoshui will definitely not go, so I will go with you next week."
"Is it necessary? It's just an ordinary auction."
Gao Bin can probably guess Zhang Zhongping's trading ideas. The name of Hou Changping's son will definitely appear at the auction.
"Just go and see and you'll find out."
"Okay."
...
On Saturday, Ocean Building, Gao Bin and Qi Yu were present.
Today Qi Yu changed into an ink dress, wearing a black knitted jacket, waterproof platform high heels, her long hair was tied up by a dark green jade hairpin, and her snow-white swan neck was as dazzling as a luxury item.
Zhang Zhongping, who was greeting guests at the door, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the two approaching intimately. However, as a businessman who has been tested in shopping malls for a long time, he will never let a cold start happen.
"Boss Qi? Mr. Gao, what are you doing?"
Gao Bin smiled and cupped his fists to congratulate:
"I wish this auction a complete success."
"Thank you, but now I have a strong interest in the relationship between you two."
"Haha, as you can see, we are boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Hey, this is a great event. Am I the last one to know about it? Boss Qi, this is your fault. Why didn't you tell me the good news when we met last week?" Zhang Zhongping pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Why do you have the nerve to publicize this kind of thing all over the world? I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang." Qi Yu leaned on Gao Bin's shoulder, looking like a shy little woman.
"Seeing how close you two are, makes me, an old man, jealous."
"Mr. Zhang is in his prime, but he is not old at all."
There were a lot of guests here today, but Gao Bin couldn't help but keep occupying Zhang Zhongping, so he found an opportunity to enter the venue with Qi Yu first, allowing Zhang Zhongping to continue to welcome the guests.
After entering the venue, Gao Bin's eyes did not stop searching, wanting to see who Zhang Zhongping's customer base was.
Qi Yu suddenly pulled Gao Bin's arm:
"Look over there."
Gao Bin looked over, and sure enough, Hou Xiaoping's calligraphy was hanging on the exhibition board.
"I knew it!"
"Zhang Zhongping stole your plan, what are you going to do?"
"Let's take pictures of these words in a while. There is no way we can let them be more beautiful than others."

"I'll take the photo."
"It's okay. I'll take the photo myself. Please help me see if Hou Changping is here."
"That's terrible. He definitely doesn't want to show up more often on such occasions. After all, he has to take care of his reputation. He is retiring soon and cannot afford to lose it later."
Gao Bin nodded:
"That makes sense."
Not long after, the auction officially began. Gao Bin had no interest in other works of art. His target today was Hou Xiaoping's calligraphy.
Qi Yu raised the sign a few times, but failed to take a photo. She felt that the price exceeded expectations and there was no need.
20 minutes later, Zhang Zhongping came on stage in person to preside over the auction.
Gao Bin knew that the main event was coming, so he quickly cheered up.
After a while of conversation, Hou Xiaoping's calligraphy was brought to the stage by the etiquette lady for display.
"These paintings are from a primary school student. The starting price is 100. Each bid increase cannot be less than 100. Now, the auction begins."
The first bidder was a young woman, sitting diagonally behind Gao Bin.
Gao Bin turned around and glanced, wasn't this Jiang Xiaolu? It was most likely Zhang Zhongping who arranged for her to come.
Not many people know the background of these words, so the place has never been too hot.
However, Zhang Zhongping still relied on his superb speaking skills to mobilize the emotions of several people. Soon, the price reached 2,000.
At this time, only Jiang Xiaolu was still raising the sign, and Gao Bin knew it was time.
"2000 for the second time, is there any increase in price?"
Gao Bin raised his right hand, and Zhang Zhongping paused for a moment, but he concealed it so well that no one noticed.
"Mr. Biying bids 2100. Thank you, Mr. Gao. This is your first time today."
"Is there anyone else raising the price? Can you give me 2200?"
Jiang Xiaolu got the hint and quickly raised her sign.
"2200, it seems that this lady is very caring and determined to win these words."
Gao Bin didn't give Zhang Zhongping a chance to talk nonsense and directly raised his sign:
"3000."
"Okay, the total bid is 3,000, can I see 3,500?"
Jiang Xiaolu immediately raised a placard to quote:
"3500."
"Thank you, thank you lady, I believe the child will be very happy after hearing the news."
Gao Bin said nothing and raised his sign again:
"5000."
There was an uproar at the scene. Everyone here is a smart person. Even selling these few words for 200 is too much. Why should they be sold for 5,000?
There is only one possibility: this primary school student’s background is not simple.
As a result, the originally silent place completely ignited the atmosphere. Several bosses started bidding regardless of whether they would bid or not. They must earn enough impression points.
In just a few minutes, the price has already skyrocketed.
Just kidding, many masters with the reputation of being the chairman of various associations may not be able to sell for this price.
At this time, Gao Bin also muttered, it was too high, not that he couldn't afford it, but that there was no need.
And looking at this situation, the transaction price may be high.
Even if Gao Bin wins it at this price, Hou Changping may not be able to benefit from it.
Hou Changping is not a fool. No matter how precious his son is, he still has a lot of shit in his heart. No matter how good his writing is, how can a little boy's words be sold for more than 20,000?
Didn't you notice that Jiang Xiaolu no longer raised her sign? Obviously, the price had already exceeded the bottom line given to her by Zhang Zhongping.
Gao Bin hesitated for a moment, and under Zhang Zhongping's gaze, he threw the sign on the chair next to him. I stopped playing.
Finally, the transaction price was set at.
The two big bosses got angry and the price naturally went up.
Qi Yu consoled:
"It doesn't matter, let's find another chance."
"Well, let's look for a chance. This flattery didn't work."
"Isn't there still a relationship with my father? As long as his son wants to continue to study calligraphy, this relationship cannot be broken."
Gao Bin said worriedly:
"The main thing is Zhang Zhongping, he is also watching."
After a pause, he turned around and asked:
"What's Yan Ruoshui's attitude?"
"What my brother-in-law told me is that the wealth should not go to outsiders, but..."
Gao Bin understands:
"He takes the big head."
"How about I open my mouth, and each of you will get half of it?"
Gao Bin shook his head:
"Let's do it on June 4th. He's on June 4th. I'll make less money and save Biying's reputation in the market."
"So willing?"
"It can't be difficult for you to be caught in the middle, right?"
Qi Yu feels warm in her heart that her boyfriend can think about herself.
"By the way, you don't know yet, right? A deputy director of my brother-in-law's company was arrested."
Gao Bin was shocked:
"When?"
"What happened yesterday afternoon."
"Because of what?"
"I don't know, I just took it to the car. It was so sudden. No one expected it."
Gao Bin smacked his lips:
"Then your brother-in-law must be extremely scared."
"Not to that extent, but you do have to be careful."
Because Zhang Zhongping intervened, Hou Changping must have concerns. He may not let go easily regarding the auction rights of Shengli Building.
You have to continue to look for opportunities to build a good relationship with him!
On the way to send Qi Yu home, she answered a phone call and one of her best friends asked her to go shopping.
She wanted to move, but she was afraid that Gao Bin would be bored alone, so she asked:
"How about you come with me?"
"Forget it, I'm just going to carry the bag and take you there. When you're done, call me and I'll pick you up."
"Okay, then where are you going to play?"
"I have an appointment with someone to go fishing tomorrow, and I have to buy some equipment."
...
Early on Sunday morning, Gao Bin first went to pick up Lu Bing from his home, then went to the riverside pier and boarded a small fishing boat.
The master who was driving the boat was very sensible and stayed in the cockpit so as not to disturb their conversation.
Gao Bin and Lu Bing sat at the stern of the boat, each with a fishing position.
Most of the time they spent fishing was boring, but fortunately there was no shortage of topics to talk about.
Just as they were talking about yesterday's auction, Gao Bin gave an overview of the situation, and Lu Bing smiled and said:
"Auction houses are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. This Zhang Zhongping is definitely a master."
"Of course, Hou Changping's side is probably crazy about it too."
"Yes, Lao Hou doesn't often do this kind of thing, so he will definitely be in trouble this time."
"I heard that the executive bureau has been reformed, and it has finally been decided that the auction company's power will be delegated to other departments?"
"Yes, it has been transferred to the Judicial Technology Office. Do you know Lao Peng?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Gao Bin shook his head:
"First time I heard of it."
"Well, this department is not flashy, but even though the power has been decentralized, the opinions of the Executive Board are still very important, so you have to work harder on Hou Changping."
Gao Bin nodded:
"Uncle Lu, doesn't Judge Waiting have any hobbies?"
"I've never heard of his hobbies. He goes to work on time and leaves work on time every day. He works seriously and seriously. At least I don't know what hobbies he has."
Gao Bin sighed:
"I don't even believe it."
"I didn't believe it at first, but he is just such a person. If I have to say it, he may be very doting on his son."
Gao Bin spread his hands:
"So I planned to start with his son. Who would have thought that Zhang Zhongping would come forward and muddy the water."
“You can fish in troubled waters, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
Lu Bing suddenly turned his head:
"By the way, you may have another problem."
"What?"
"Do you know Gong Dapeng?"
Gao Bin nodded, then shook his head: "I've heard of it, but I don't know it."
"The developer of the Shengli Building, a contractor, previously filed a case in Jungle due to wage arrears."
Gao Bin slapped his thigh:
"He won't apply for execution, right?"
"A case has been filed."
Gao Bin is finally convinced:
"In addition to the Oriental Asset Management Company, there is now another applicant for execution, Gong Dapeng!"
"That's right."
"Then my previous work was in vain."
"It's not in vain. At least it's right to have a good relationship with Hou Changping."
Gao Bin felt a mess in his head, so he fixed the fishing rod, stood up, shook his shoulders, and said:
"I have to analyze this matter. Originally, this case was handled by the Southern District Court, and the applicant for execution was Oriental Asset Management Company."
Lu Bing nodded:
"That's right."
"Later it was transferred to the Executive Bureau of the Intermediate People's Court, which is under you, Uncle Lu. The specific person in charge is Hou Changping! I have already set up this line."
Lu Bing nodded again:
"Yes!"
"But Hou Changping actually only has the right to make suggestions. The one who really makes the final decision is Lao Peng of the Judicial Technology Office. But generally they will not refuse to implement the judges' opinions, right?"
Lu Bing affirmed:
"Unless there is a personal enmity between the two people, they will basically respect the opinion of the executing judge."
"Okay, that is to say, as long as I capture Hou Changping, the matter will be half done."
"That's right."
"The other half's right to advise originally belonged to Oriental Asset Management Company, that is, Yan Ruoshui."
"Yes!"
"But now, this part of the suggestion power is split in half, and the other half is in the hands of the contractor named Gong Dapeng."
"Yes!"
"Gong Dapeng had to deal with the jungle of the court because he owed wages to migrant workers."
Lu Bing added:
"I heard that the relationship between the two is quite good, and Jung Dapeng can make Gong Dapeng one of the executors of the application. It's Jung Jung's contribution."
"As far as I know, Jung Jung and Zhang Zhongping are college classmates, and they have a close relationship!"
"Yes!"
"If I do nothing, Gong Dapeng will definitely favor Jungle's suggestion, and his suggestion will most likely be the 3D Auction Company."
"That's absolutely right. Your kid has really grown up now. Things that were originally a mess became very clear immediately after you sorted them out like this."
Gao Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"It's useless. Hou Changping is neutral now. I have a way to take down Yan Ruoshui. The problem now is Gong Dapeng. The existence of this person is very detrimental to me!"
Lu Bing is suspicious:
"Wait a minute, can you win Yan Ruoshui?"
"I forgot to tell you that his sister-in-law and I are in a relationship."
Lu Bing was stunned:
"So fast?"
"It's not important, Uncle Lu, help me find a way, I want to see Gong Dapeng."
Lu Bing frowned and thought for a moment:
"He came to the bureau to sign, and I tried to stall him."
"Thank you, Uncle Lu."
"You're welcome, I should help you."
"There is nothing that should be done. Don't worry, I have planned everything for you."
Lu Bing smiled and didn't answer, so it was all in silence.
After that, they stopped talking about it and focused on fishing. However, they were not very lucky, and a few palm-sized fish fell. They didn’t even eat enough soup, so they let them go.
After sending Lu Bing home, Gao Bin called Qi Yu out, and the two found a coffee shop to sit down and chat.
"That Gong Dapeng has become the key now. Can you help me check this person?" Gao Bin said.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask someone to investigate. What are you going to do with Hou Changping?"
"You still have to play the emotional card. You don't have to worry about it here. Just help me investigate Gong Dapeng's details."
"I understand. Also, come to the club when you have time. My brother-in-law wants to see you."
Gao Bin nodded slightly, knowing that Qi Yu had told Yan Ruoshui the ratio he had set, the old fox was finally going to let go.
"Okay, when will he be here?"
"Tomorrow, I should be at the club tomorrow afternoon."
