Chen Yibo put forward his request very directly and clearly: "It is okay to participate in this treasure appraisal event, but I hope that the event party can use part of the income for public welfare. Of course, I will participate as a guest and will not charge any fees."
Hearing Chen Yibo's request, Xue Chen was in awe, but he couldn't refuse, so he immediately agreed and promised to use part of the proceeds for public welfare.
He can still make the final decision on this small matter, and besides, this event is not for profit, but more for promoting Yunteng Auction Company and to warm up the next auction.
This trip was much easier than he expected. He easily invited the second expert, and half of the task was completed. Now he was still missing the last two experts.
After chatting with Chen Yibo for a few more words, Xue Chen stood up and said goodbye. He went downstairs and returned to the exhibition hall on the first floor. Seeing each cultural relic, he couldn't help but think of the scattered antiques sunk under the lotus pond.
.
"How can we salvage it?"
He really didn't have a good idea in his mind for a while, but the thing kept sinking in the water, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and he always wanted to fish it out as soon as possible.
After leaving the museum, Xue Chen thought for a while and drove straight to the magnificent place.
It is not an easy task to salvage things from the bottom of a lake seven or eight meters deep. It is difficult for him to do it alone. He will definitely need to find someone. He thought of Qi Hu.
Qi Hu has seen many ups and downs, and maybe he can help him come up with a good solution. Besides, even if he can't help, with their current relationship, it doesn't matter if he tells the matter.
After arriving at Jinjinghuihuang, Xue Chen took the elevator directly to the 25th floor and went straight into Qi Hu's office without the secretary's notification.
What surprised Xue Chen was that Qi Hu was actually standing behind the desk practicing calligraphy.
When Qi Hu saw Xue Chen coming, he put down his brush and smiled heartily: "Brother Xue, you are here."
"Brother Qi, what are you..." Xue Chen walked over and glanced down at a piece of writing that had been written on the desk, which was the four words 'Houdude Zaiwu'.
"Ah ha, I made Brother Xue laugh. I have nothing to do recently, so I just want to practice calligraphy." Qi Hu said with a smile.
Xue Chen was not surprised. He knew Qi Hu's character. Now that he was rich, he wanted to get some ink on himself. It was for this reason that he played antiques at first, and it was obviously the same reason for practicing calligraphy now.
After taking a look at the four characters, Xue Chen nodded and said affirmatively: "Brother Qi, these four characters are well written." This is not a compliment, but it is indeed OK. Although it is quite satisfactory, it is very powerful.
For beginners, it's pretty good.
Qi Hu waved his hand: "Brother Xue, please don't belittle me. I'm still far away. Come on, sit down quickly."
When the two sat on the sofa next to each other, the secretary also brought tea. Xue Chen took a sip of tea and thought about what to say about the lotus pond: "Brother Qi, if I want to salvage something from the lotus pond,
If you don’t want others to know about it, what should you do?”
Qi Hu sat aside with a golden sword and took a sip of tea. He suddenly heard Xue Chen's words and was slightly startled. He pondered for a while and said: "Salvage something in the lotus pond?"
"Yes, I want to go into the lotus pond to catch something, but as you know, there are a lot of fishermen there every day, and there are also management personnel patrolling."
Qi Hu glanced at Xue Chen. He didn't think that Xue Chen would go fishing, but as for what to salvage, he really couldn't imagine for a while. What could be worth salvaging in the lotus pond?
"The Lotus Pond is patrolled day and night to prevent anyone from setting down a net to catch fish. If you want to catch something in the Lotus Pond, you don't want the people fishing in the Lotus Pond and other people to see it, even in the dark, let alone
Besides, going into the water in the dark is also dangerous. Is the salvage location you mentioned far from the shore?"
"It's not far, only about ten meters. The things are at the bottom of the lake seven or eight meters deep." Xue Chen didn't need to hide too much. He simply told Qi Hu that he found some valuable things at the bottom of the lake, but what he found was
The reason is said to be that I caught something when I was fishing.
Qi Hu was slightly surprised: "You said there might be antiques under the lotus pond?" This was indeed completely beyond his imagination. There were antiques under the lotus pond?
"This is my inference. It's probably possible. That's why I want to find someone to salvage it."
When Xue Chen said this, Qi Hu understood everything in his heart. He understood Xue Chen's concerns. If there are really high-value antiques fished out from under the lotus pond, it really cannot be known to anyone, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble.
Come on trouble.
"It's a bit difficult to salvage it quietly, so you can only think of other ways to cover it up and prevent others from knowing what you are salvaging..." Qi Hu reached out and pinched his chin, his eyes moved, and then said
, "Brother Xue, you should have some friends in the police."
Soon, Qi Hu explained the method he had come up with. Since salvage could not be carried out quietly, then he should find a way to prevent outsiders from getting close and seeing what he was doing!
"You can ask your friends in the public security department to seal off a small area of the salvage area, and say that the police are handling the case. In this way, outsiders will not be able to get close, and they will not know what is being salvaged. But your friend in the public security department
You just have to believe it."
"This method..." Xue Chen listened to Qi Hu's idea and felt that it was not a method. It sounded feasible.
"I think you also need someone to help you salvage things. I know people in this field. No matter what is fished out under the water, I will never talk nonsense. If you need it, I can contact you."
Xue Chen slowly took a sip of tea and went through the method quickly in his mind. On the one hand, he found someone from the public security department and pretended to be handling the case. He sealed off the small area of the lakeshore that was salvaged, and then asked Qi Hu to find someone to quickly
Carry out salvage.
Who should the police look for? Xue Chen's mind moved and he thought of a suitable candidate, that is Li Changfu from the Chengnan Police Station. The two of them are old friends, so there should be no problem in finding him.
"Brother Qi, okay, I'll just use your method. Then I'll ask you to help me find some people who can salvage it. Money is not an issue, but it must be reliable. No matter what is salvaged, it cannot be passed on."
"Don't worry about this, I won't find anyone who is unreliable."
Qi Hu assured, seeing Xue Chen being so serious, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what was there under the lotus pond that made Xue Chen care so much.
The two chatted for a while and settled the matter. Qi Hu first found the person who would do the salvage. After the personnel were arranged, it was not too late for Xue Chen to contact Li Changfu.
After leaving the magnificent place, Xue Chen called Xia Yike and briefly talked about finding an expert, and also mentioned Chen Yibo's request.
When Xia Yike heard Chen Yibo's request, she let out a sigh and seemed to be a little surprised as well, and agreed without saying anything more.
"It seems that you are not as useless as you said. There is a saying that there is a profession that has specialization. If it were anyone else, I don't think it would be possible for you to invite the two most important people on the list as smoothly as you did.
"Xia Yike said calmly.
Xue Chen laughed out loud: "So, I'm quite important?"
"It's not important to talk about. What I mean is that even a small screw has its place. Okay, I have other things to be busy with. You can continue to follow up on finding someone and try to
Get the list of the remaining two experts as soon as possible." After saying that, Xue Chen hung up the phone without waiting for anything else.
Xue Chen took a look at the phone in his hand, and thought a little speechlessly: "Are you saying I'm a screw?"
Having already invited Chen Suyuan and Chen Yibo, it was easier for the remaining two people. In the next two days, Xue Chen visited several people on the list and invited two others. One was from the Haicheng Calligraphy and Painting Association.
Chairman Liu Ming, and Vice Chairman of the Municipal Collectors Association Liu Yun.
The two of them hesitated when Xue Chen came to invite them, but when they learned that Chen Suyuan and Chen Yibo had both agreed to the invitation, they both agreed.
The status and reputation of these two people in the antique circle are lower than that of Chen Suyuan and Chen Yibo. If they participate in the event on the same stage, it will invisibly enhance their reputation. Moreover, it is an event held by a subsidiary of the Ning Group. Sales
Xue Chen has a personal relationship, why not do it.
After getting the list of four experts, Xue Chen breathed a sigh of relief. On the same day, he also received a call from Qi Hu, telling him that reliable salvage personnel had been arranged and could be launched into the water for salvage at any time!
After hanging up Qi Hu's call, Xue Chen thought for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed. He said with a smile: "Director Li..." On the phone, he made an appointment with Li Changfu to meet at Jinbihuihuang in the evening.
Xue Chen arrived early, and while he was drinking tea, Li Changfu opened the door and walked in, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xue, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Director Li is joking. I'm not here to play. Please sit down." Xue Chen stood up.
After Li Changfu sat down, he was a little curious. He didn't know what Xue Chen wanted to do with him, but he made up his mind. As long as it could be done, he would definitely try his best to do it. He now knew Xue Chen's energy and the governor.
The relationship is not simple!
"Director Li, I asked you to come here to ask you to do me a favor."
Li Changfu pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Mr.
