Today's competition comes to an end here. The cycle of the Treasure Appraisal Conference is relatively long, so the first day is just to test everyone's level. The real elimination round is the first round, but it will not be until another day later.
Now that it has officially begun, it can be said that the Antique Treasure Appraisal Competition will give contestants many opportunities.
Just when Qiao Meng returned to his residence, he received a very strange phone call. According to his habit, he did not refuse the call because he was worried that it was something important. "Hey, who are you? What do you want from me?"
"Young Master Qiao, it's me, Hei Wuchang!"
Hearing that the other party was Hei Wuchang, Qiao Meng thought about it and remembered it. It turned out to be the guide who left the number when he and Chen Shicheng went to the black market for the first time. He basically knew what was going to happen, but
Isn't this black market in S City? Has this person already come to Kyoto? Or is there such a black market in Kyoto? I heard that something almost happened to the black market in S City later.
"I said Hei Wuchang, you managed to escape death last time, why did you show up so quickly now? Are you crazy about money?" Because the guide will get a lot of commissions for recruiting people to come to the auction, so Qiao Meng
I think he is short of money.
Hei Wuchang said sadly: "Young Master Qiao, I can't help it. There are seniors and juniors at home, so it's not easy to support the family. Besides, I don't have any other skills. It's difficult to change my career now, so please help me.
"
"Okay, okay, look what time it is now, when will the auction start?" Qiao Meng said impatiently.
"It opens at eight o'clock tonight, and I can arrange a car to pick you up at seven o'clock." Hei Wuchang said with a smile.
"Why can't I drive by myself now?" Qiao Meng felt a little strange about this.
Hei Wuchang said with a sneer: "Isn't this because of what happened last time? For safety reasons, you have to take our car there."
"That's right, but I have to pour some cold water on you. I'm not in S city now, I'm in Kyoto." Qiao Meng said in a funny tone.
"I know, now I am also assigned to work in an organization in Kyoto, otherwise why would I inform you." Hei Wuchang explained.
"So powerful, okay, let me get ready."
Qiao Meng heard that a lot of people were arrested last time, and many of them were sentenced to severe punishments. Now the organizer of the black market cannot be too careful, and he is not afraid that Hei Wuchang will be detrimental to him. At worst, he will just give up when the time comes.
If he does it, he won't be a bad customer.
What's more, Qiao Meng is his life-saving straw now. If he has any bad thoughts, Hei Wuchang will be the first to suffer losses. After all, people in this business still have some sense.
After Qiao Meng said hello to Baidu after dinner, he received a call from Hei Wuchang, so he took Baidu with him, intending to let him see it too.
To say that Hei Wuchang is still the same as before, but it seems that he has lost his previous energy, maybe because he was a little scared after the incident.
A small person like Hei Wuchang, who has been around for many years, has eyesight several times that of ordinary people. When he sees Baidu, he can tell that he is not an ordinary person. He immediately understands that he has another money tree. How can he be unhappy? He can't wait to see it.
Qiao Meng brings more such characters to appear.
After a while of exchange, Hei Wuchang invited the two of them into the car, then started the car and set off towards the destination, and then reminded, "Young Master Qiao, please turn off your phone. This is the rule here, Haihan."
Qiao Meng and Baidu didn't dwell too much on this issue. It wouldn't hurt if they turned off their phones, so they just did it.
Perhaps because he was familiar with them, Hei Wuchang didn't take too many detours and took Qiao Meng and Baidu directly to the parking lot under a luxurious-looking building.
As soon as he got out of the car, Qiao Meng smiled and said: "I said Hei Wuchang, you guys are really good at it. You understand the word "Hei under the light" very well. Have you learned to do this trick now?"
Hei Wuchang also smiled and said: "It's all for safety's sake. It's better to be careful. And this auction is based on a studio's art product exhibition. It's very safe. Don't worry."
Qiao Meng and Baidu smiled at each other after hearing this. They didn't expect these black market organizers to have so many tricks. It was really surprising.
Ding dong——
Hei Wuchang walked out of the elevator first, took the two of them to a presidential suite, and rang the doorbell. However, it did not open it immediately. Instead, a light seemed to shine from inside. This may be to identify the height setting.
Technology.
The rooms here are very large, and they don't look like a house at all. It can basically be said that there are several presidential suites connected together. It seems that there must be something fishy on this floor, and the person in charge here should be related to
Black market organizations also do this kind of business.
Many people had already arrived in advance and were resting or eating in the room. Even the sofas and the like looked like they could accommodate a dozen or twenty people at a time.
You can see a very sturdy man in black standing in the corner of this large venue. These should be the bodyguards who maintain order at the scene. There are a total of twelve people.
At this time, Hei Wuchang was called over, probably to review the identity issue between him and Baidu just to be sure.
Qiao Meng didn't care about this, because he was slightly surprised that there were two acquaintances here, one was a shop owner he met in the antique street before, and the other was Li Ka. He didn't know them
Why did the two of them come to Kyoto and accidentally enter the black market together?
Qiao Meng immediately stepped forward, greeted the two of them with a smile, and said, "Brother Li Ka, why are you here too?"
Li Ka was also a little curious about why Qiao Meng came and said, "I had planned to come here with my old friends for a long time. Why are you here again? Don't you have to compete?"
Qiao Meng sat on the sofa and replied: "Oh, it's okay, I just wanted to come and see if I can buy anything good for my master. After all, I haven't given him a suitable gift for such a long time."
"Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Qiao, Mr. Bai, please have tea first. The auction will start on time in ten minutes. Please wait a moment." Hei Wuchang came out of the room inside and immediately gave Qiao Meng and Bai
Du poured a cup of tea.
Qiao nodded fiercely and said, "Okay, I understand."
After Hei Wuchang left, Li Ka continued the previous topic and said: "So, Brother Qiao is really a good apprentice. Your master is really blessed. This should be your friend. I don't know what to call him?"
"This is my good friend named Baidu, who is also my master's half-disciple. He is coming with me this time to see if he can find any treasures." Qiao Meng introduced quickly.
"Well, then you can come to my place when you have time. I still have some assets in Kyoto," Li Ka said.
"Oh, I have to prepare for the game tomorrow, there's nothing I can do about it," Qiao Meng said.
"Oh, if that's the case, then the day after tomorrow will do," Li Ka said.
"Not even the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the game time."
Qiao Meng said with a smile, he really didn't have much time, otherwise he would really want to visit that place in Lika. It is definitely not easy to have some assets in Kyoto, and his brother was just about to be arranged to develop here. If he could
If you take it down together, the effect may be better.
"Well, don't be in a hurry to go back another day when you are free. I'll be the host and we can have a good time here to catch up on old times." Li Ka said happily.
In fact, Li Ka's favorite thing besides antiques is food. Even though he looks so serious, as long as he sees food, his whole mental state will be different.
Having known Li Ka for a long time, Qiao Meng naturally knew about his hobby, so he smiled and said: "Brother Li Ka, why don't you let me be the host? I haven't even treated you seriously. There was such a fuss last time."
Big joke."
"Well, I'll stop being disrespectful and let you treat me to this meal."
Li Ka thought of Qiao Meng's identity and had already felt that he must be hiding it. In any case, it was not difficult for him to treat guests to dinner.
And what he should have is money. The most important thing is that some restaurants in Kyoto may only be reserved by people with his status.
"Hey, you are very generous this time. You actually cooperated directly with the hotel to build an entire floor. Should I praise you or what? Isn't there anyone who has no money, so you can just bring me some parallel imports?" A man
The voice suddenly came out.
"Young Master Bai, don't worry, there are quite a lot of good things today, and they will definitely satisfy you." A relatively fat middle-aged man said with his head bowed.
When Qiao Meng was about to say something, he heard the two people talking together. They really didn't hide anything and said what they wanted to say.
This is a young man of similar age to him, maybe a few years older than him, but probably not much. There is an extremely charming woman beside him, and his clothes are even more fascinating, and it makes people lose their minds.
Everyone in the audience was attracted by this woman's beauty and personality, and their eyes couldn't help but focus on her, and they couldn't look away for a long time.
Qiao Meng did take one look at her and didn't look at anything else. He felt that although such a woman was beautiful, she was too vulgar. Maybe she could still be attracted to him if she didn't have that much talent, just like Ge Yuling and Yao Miaomiao.
"This Young Master Bai is a well-known playboy. I didn't expect that he would be replaced by another one so soon."
"What's the point? If someone is rich, it's like one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Anyway, if we break up, we will definitely get a lot of money. Isn't that what the women who follow Mr. Bai basically want?"
While the two were discussing, the Kang Shaozheng they were talking about became curious about Qiao.
Because he found that only Qiao Meng looked at the beauty next to him with some disdain. Baidu said that he hadn't seen it yet, which made him feel strange, how could such a young man be so determined.
And it was the first time I saw him. He was a regular visitor to this black market. He had never seen a person like Qiao Meng before, so he slowly walked forward.
