Not long after the Guan family villa and Guan Group's announcement was issued, many people who were close friends with the Guan family or Guan Xiaoxue could not wait for the day of the ceremony and came to visit one after another.
It is said that it is a visit, but in fact, it is just to establish a good relationship with Guan Xiaoxue. From now on, Guan Xiaoxue will be the real head of the Guan family. As long as he can get his approval, he can maintain the cooperative relationship with the Guan family, or obtain money from the official family.
Get more orders.
The old man has always had this intention to let Guan Xiaoxue take over the position of the head of the Guan family, but Guan Xiaoxue did not expect that it would come so suddenly. Grandpa only told himself this idea yesterday to prepare himself to take over the position of the head of the Guan family. Today
An announcement was made directly.
Faced with an endless stream of visitors, Guan Xiaoxue did not have so much energy and time to receive all of them, so she could only select some of them, accept those who could not refuse or could not refuse, and ensure that Guan Xiaoxue's busy feet were not touched.
land.
Guan Xiaowei sat alone in the corner, watching all this silently. He felt all kinds of unhappiness and resentment in his heart, but he couldn't show it. He had to keep smiling and couldn't show his resentment easily.
Those congratulations were like needles pricking Guan Xiaowei's heart.
"Miss Guan, congratulations!"
"Miss Guan, you deserve to be the head of the Guan family!"
"Now we should call Mr. Guan. Mr. Guan has time, let's have a meal together!"
These people are all important customers or suppliers of Guan Group.
Guan Xiaoxue seems to have become an important figure who is about to rise.
Although Guan Xiaoxue is busy, she can still cope with it due to her many years of experience in communicating with some upper-class people in society.
…………
After Zhou Zichen and Mr. Guan separated, he walked back to the detective agency alone, thinking about what Mr. Guan said to him along the way.
Ordinary companies do not have much cash flow. Even if they have money, most of them will consider investing rather than lending these funds to other companies.
The most important thing is that according to domestic laws, no borrowing can be made between two companies.
In other words, it's illegal.
If Li Yao really wanted to do something, Takeuchi Hideyoshi would have trouble getting back the principal, let alone the interest.
Zhou Zichen pondered this question all the way, and finally laid his eyes on the batch of antiques.
But this batch of antiques is worth only 500 million yuan. Why would Takeuchi Hideyoshi take such a big risk to get this batch of antiques?
Zhou Zichen thought about it as he walked, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
All the way back to the detective agency, Zhou Zichen was still thinking about this matter, but he never understood why Takeuchi Hideyoshi would spend 5 billion to take this risk.
Until the evening, Wang Ziqi saw that Zhou Zichen still looked absent-minded, and asked with some worry: "What happened to you today? You have been out of your mind since you came back."
Zhou Zichen explained the matter again and asked: "What did you say Takeuchi Hideyoshi did for, taking such a big risk just for those antiques?"
"Do you suspect Takeuchi Hideyoshi has any other conspiracy or purpose?" Wang Ziqi knew what Zhou Zichen was thinking as soon as he heard this.
Zhou Zichen nodded: "That's what I think. Let's not mention those antiques that are already in our hands. How difficult is it for him to get them? If he really wants them, why doesn't he pay us a high price?
purchase?"
"Those antiques only cost 500 million yuan, but he bought them for 600 million or 700 million yuan. Isn't it great?"
"Can you sell it?" Wang Ziqi asked.
Zhou Zichen shook his head: "It's not what you think. It is indeed impossible for me to sell these antiques to you, a Japanese, but normal people would definitely come to me first and try to buy those antiques at a high price, but they didn't
Come, but use 5 billion to take risks, so I am very puzzled!"
After listening to Zhou Zichen's analysis, Wang Ziqi also felt that it was reasonable: "What you said seems to be correct. After thinking about it like this, why don't you go to the antique city to see it?"
Zhou Zichen was stunned. After thinking about it all day, he actually didn't think of going to the antique city to see it. Regardless of whether Takeuchi Hideyoshi really wanted these antiques or not, maybe he could get some clues by going there.
"I'm going to the antique city." Zhou Zichen said, got up and ran outside.
Wang Ziqi quickly followed: "I'll go with you."
Zhou Zichen and Wang Ziqi went downstairs and drove straight to the antique city.
It's already dark now, and the antique city has long been closed.
Zhou Zichen left a backup key to the antique city, so he didn't need to trouble others to open the door for him.
Zhou Zichen entered directly from the main entrance and went straight to the warehouse at the back.
The two men rummaged through almost all the safes and found nothing suspicious.
"There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious." Although Wang Ziqi didn't know much about antiques, he knew from Zhou Zichen's expression that there must be nothing discovered.
Zhou Zichen looked around and focused on the shelves on one side. There were some low-value antiques on them. There were thousands of antiques in the antique city. It was impossible to arrange a safe for every antique.
Wang Ziqi followed Zhou Zichen's gaze and looked at the shelf. She seemed to see something good. She walked quickly to the shelf and picked up a long knife: "Is this a Tang knife?"
When Zhou Zichen saw the sword in Wang Ziqi's hand, his eyes lit up: "This is not a Tang sword, this is a Japanese samurai sword."
When Wang Ziqi heard this, he pulled out the samurai sword: "Isn't this the sword they are looking for?"
Zhou Zichen thinks so too, but this samurai sword is not a particularly precious thing. Although the workmanship is good, it is not very old, and it is not a famous samurai sword, but it looks like it should be 94
The value should be several hundred thousand.
"It's possible!" Zhou Zichen reached out and took the samurai sword from Wang Ziqi's hand.
I saw that there were layers of patterns on the blade of the katana. They were not caused deliberately, but were the texture of the material of the blade. There were several Japanese characters at the connection between the blade and the handle. Zhou Zichen saw
I don’t understand, Wang Ziqi doesn’t understand Japanese characters either.
The handle of the knife is engraved with exquisite patterns, which are carefully carved at first glance.
"What did you see?" Wang Ziqi saw that Zhou Zichen was looking carefully and could not see any information, so she had to ask Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen explained: “During World War II, there were three batches of samurai swords used by Japanese officers. The first type 94 was a katana provided to high-ranking Japanese generals in the early days of World War II; the type 95 was a samurai sword provided to ordinary non-commissioned officers; the type 98
The formula is actually a simplified version of the 94 formula, which was also provided to the high-ranking Japanese generals."
Wang Ziqi suddenly realized: "Does that mean that this samurai sword was the samurai sword of a high-ranking Japanese official during World War II?"
"Yes! But this katana is worth hundreds of thousands at most. If Takeuchi Hideyoshi is really willing to spend 5 billion to take risks for this samurai, then there must be some secret in this katana.
"
Wang Ziqi also came forward: "Let me see, is this samurai sword worth 5 billion?"
Zhou Zishen knew that Wang Ziqi was a little money addict. If this samurai sword was handed over to him, he would most likely not give it back to him: "You can't understand it anyway, I'll think about it first, and I'll figure it out later."
I’ll tell you when I get here.”
How could Wang Ziqi agree? He rushed towards her and wanted to grab it. Zhou Zichen was afraid of hurting Wang Ziqi and wanted to get out of the way. However, he accidentally stepped on the foot of the shelf. His figure suddenly became unstable and he fell backward.
He quickly threw away the katana and subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab the shelf, but instead grabbed Wang Ziqi's clothes.
"ah……"
Wang Ziqi was pulled by Zhou Zichen and let out a scream, and her body fell towards Zhou Zichen.
The two people hugged each other and fell to the ground.
"Wow..."
The door of the warehouse was suddenly pushed open, and several security guards walked in. They were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
Zhou Zichen and Wang Ziqi did not expect that someone would come in at this time.
"Get up quickly." Zhu Zicheng said softly.
Wang Ziqi tried to stand up in a hurry. After all, he was a little embarrassed to be seen by so many people.
When the security guards saw this scene, they thought the two were flirting inside, and secretly sighed in their hearts. Manager Zhou is really interesting. He was not at home in the middle of the night, but went to the warehouse to have fun. It's a world of rich people.
It's really hard to understand.
"Manager Zhou, I'm sorry, we're leaving right away."
"Manager, I'm sorry, please continue."
Several security guards actually apologized profusely, then reached out to pull the door of the warehouse and backed out.
"It's all your fault. If you had given me that knife, so many things wouldn't have happened." Wang Ziqi stood up from Zhou Zichen and complained shyly.
Zhou Zichen picked up the katana beside him, stood up and said innocently: "Why didn't you say that it would be fine if you didn't snatch it?"
"It's your fault anyway, do you still want to look for it?" Wang Ziqi looked at the samurai sword in Zhou Zichen's hand, but did not continue to grab it.
Zhou Zichen put the samurai sword back into the scabbard and said: "No more searching. If they really want to find something from these antiques, it should be this samurai sword. Let's take it back and study it first, right?"
, can the detective agency’s safe hold this katana?”
"Yes, let's go!" Wang Ziqi said angrily.
When I was in the detective agency, I made a safe that was specially designed to store important files. It was as hard as a vault. With a samurai sword inside, most people wouldn't be able to steal it even if they wanted to.
The two people left the warehouse and locked the warehouse door.
Zhou Zichen went to the security room again. There were eight security guards on duty outside the warehouse. Mainly because after what happened last time, Cheng Ye added six more people for night shift, which was more than during the day.
"We're leaving, please keep an eye on the warehouse!" Zhou Zichen said and took out two hundred yuan: "It's hard working the night shift. I'll buy some midnight snacks when I have time."
"Okay, thank you, Manager Zhou." A security guard took the two hundred yuan handed over by Zhou Zichen and thanked him.
Other security guards also thanked him one after another.
As soon as Zhou Zichen and Wang Ziqi left, the security guards started talking among themselves: "Is this the hush money that Manager Zhou gave us?"
"It should be so. Don't tell anyone what happened tonight. If Manager Zhou gets angry, we will all pack up and leave."
The wages in the antique city are still higher than outside, and the work is much easier. After all, few people come to the warehouse, and those who come are all the management or staff of the antique city.
