Anyway, Zhou Zichen has nothing to do. Regarding matters in the provincial capital, he will definitely have to wait for the club to take the lead. Zhou Zichen will go to the provincial capital only after there is news. There is no problem in going to an exchange meeting.
"When will this exchange meeting start?"
"The day after tomorrow, it has been promoted for four or five days, and the venue has been decorated. It will be all done tomorrow," Wang Changlin said.
"Okay, I'll go there with my brother then."
Wang Changlin immediately laughed: "Okay, I'll leave first. You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. I have to find a few more people, who can support us by then, in case anything happens."
If there is anything wrong, it would be good if we have more people here."
Zhou Zichen also laughed. Wang Changlin probably had another position in this exchange meeting. He must be very busy to come to him so early: "Okay, Brother Wang, go and do your work!"
If you have anything, you can tell me at any time."
"Okay! I'm not polite to you. I knew you would definitely go back, so I came to you first. Okay, I'm leaving!" Wang Changlin said, taking the bag of xiaolongbao and a glass of soy milk.
Gone.
"You have become a master of antiques now!" Wang Ziqi joked.
Now Wang Ziqi still wants Zhou Zichen to go out and participate in more such activities, but is afraid that Zhou Zichen will be alone at home and think wildly. If he can't think clearly and runs to the provincial capital alone, it will be very troublesome.
Zhou Zichen could tell Wang Ziqi's thoughts at a glance, and felt a little warm in his heart. Ever since he was a child, only Wang Ziqi and the dean's grandmother had always cared about him so much.
"Do you think I'm great?" Zhou Zichen asked.
Wang Ziqi thought for a moment. In fact, Zhou Zichen has always been the same in his eyes. He used to be like this when he was a child. When he grew up, he seemed to be much better at antiques and knew a little "kung fu". There seemed to be no special changes in other aspects.
: "Not great."
"That's it, so these are all what they blew up." Zhou Zichen said with a smile: "Actually, I am also confused, but my luck is better."
"Tch..." Wang Ziqi gave Zhou Zichen a look of disdain. If it was so easy to guess, then the world would be full of master-level figures.
Usually people who everyone thinks are great are actually just ordinary people in the eyes of those closest to them, and sometimes they are even stupider than others.
After sitting at home for two days, I paid attention to the results of several community surveys on the Zhou family, and read all the company reports. After wandering around for two days, the Chinese-Japanese antique exchange meeting was about to begin.
Zhou Zichen took the invitation sent to him by Wang Changlin and went to the museum at the agreed time.
If such an event wants to be big and successful, it will be easier to handle it if it is handled by the state, so it will usually involve a museum. If businessmen are allowed to do it, it will end up being just a discussion meeting between businessmen.
.
This time the scene was quite grand, and many Japanese people came. You could hear people talking in Japanese language everywhere, and you could also hear Japanese people speaking broken Mandarin.
Wang Changlin has been waiting for Zhou Zichen for a long time. Now Zhou Zichen is definitely a master in the antique world. Maybe he is not so famous at the national level, but he is definitely a master who can be among the top three in Jiangdong City.
"Zi Chen, you came quite early!"
Zhou Zichen said with a smile: "Brother, you went to invite me in person, I must come early."
Wang Changlin led Zhou Zichen inside: "Let's go...I've invited a lot of people here this time. Some of them have admired you for a long time and want to meet you."
Although Zhou Zichen is famous, his reputation is different from that of many masters. Most masters are accumulated over time. Most people will definitely be discerning. Only through long-term accumulation can one have a great reputation.
On the other hand, Zhou Zichen has actually not been in the industry for a long time. His reputation is based on his unobtrusive experience and many times helping people identify high-value antiques. Therefore, Zhou Zichen does not know many people in the antique industry. There are a lot of them, but they are all top-notch people. Some of the more mid-level people have never met Zhou Zichen and have only heard about Zhou Zichen's deeds.
"My reputation is all brought out by everyone. I will be disappointed when I meet you!"
As they talked, the two people walked into the museum's exhibition hall.
Several young people on one side watched Zhou Zichen and Wang Changlin chatting happily, and couldn't help asking their companions: "Who is this person? Why does Master Wang value him so much?"
His companion said proudly: "He is Zhou Zichen. I have shaken hands with him before, when those foreigners came to make trouble last time. Unfortunately, I didn't ask for his business card. He doesn't seem to have a business card."
"Is he Zhou Zichen? He looks younger than me, but that's how powerful he is."
His companion rolled his eyes at him and said: "I am younger than you to begin with, and I have been in the industry for less than a year. I may have studied under some powerful master, but my eyesight is so accurate that I have never made a mistake."
"You have to say that he is my idol."
Zhou Zichen didn't know that he had become a god-like existence in the antique world, especially in the minds of the younger generation. Everyone worshiped him and admired him, and he thought that he could be like him. That's right, even those who feel unhappy can be proud of themselves in front of their masters and prove that they are geniuses.
Zhou Zichen followed Wang Changlin into the exhibition hall.
The exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part is to explain and display our own antiques. One side is the Chinese exhibition area, and the other side is the Japanese exhibition area, and both are equipped with explainers.
The second part is the auction. Both parties have prepared some antiques. When the exchange is over, the auction will be held. It is just a small auction, because large auctions all go to the auction company, and only the auction company can Qualified to host.
However, high-value items often appear at such small auctions. After all, many rich people from both sides are here.
As soon as Wang Changlin and Zhou Zichen entered the venue, several people gathered around them.
"Master Wang, is this Master Xiao Zhou?"
"Master Xiao Zhou, I have long admired your name."
Zhou Zichen greeted everyone, and Wang Changlin also introduced everyone one by one.
A few days ago, Wang Ziqi printed more than a thousand business cards for Zhou Zichen. His positions were consultant of Jingranxuan Antique City, consultant of Avengers Consulting Co., Ltd., and manager of Chenlong Construction.
Originally, Wang Ziqi wanted to add a position in the orphanage, but the director was Tian Huizhen, and Zhou Zichen did not hold a position in the orphanage.
And Zhou Zichen didn't want to talk about the orphanage, so he didn't add it.
Zhou Zichen exchanged business cards with everyone, shook hands with everyone, and had a great time chatting.
But this is an exchange meeting after all, and the people present are all knowledgeable people. They know that this is not their party. Although they want to communicate more with Zhou Zichen, they also know that this is not a party for their group. Zhou Zichen must still have Many people want to say hello, chat about the same thing, make an appointment to have dinner together next time, and then leave each other to find someone to chat with.
Next, he greeted some people, and finally Wang Changlin actually introduced someone to Zhou Zichen, a Japanese person whom Zhou Zichen also knew, and it turned out to be Takeuchi Hideyoshi.
"Zi Chen, this is Mr. Takeuchi of Japan, Takeuchi Hideyoshi, he is also one of the promoters of this exchange conference." Wang Changlin said with a smile.
Although Wang Changlin had a smile on his face, his tone was a little strange, and he didn't seem to want Takeuchi Hideyoshi very much.
"Mr. Takeuchi, I have long admired you!" When Zhou Zichen looked at Takeuchi Hideyoshi, his eyes narrowed slightly. Although there was a smile, there was also a depth to it.
Although Takeuchi Hideyoshi and Zhou Zichen did not have too many direct conflicts, through Li Yao and Guan Xiaowei, the two of them fought several times, and Takeuchi Hideyoshi suffered a lot because of this: "Mr. Zhou, I have admired you for a long time!"
Wang Changlin looked at the expressions of the two people and asked in surprise: "Have you two known each other for a long time?"
Takeuchi Hideyoshi looked at Wang Changlin, then at Zhou Zichen, and said, "Mr. Zhou, we should be considered acquainted!"
"Of course it counts! It's okay to just call it an 'old friend'."
Takeuchi Hideyoshi nodded repeatedly, but Zhou Zichen, an "old friend", made Takeuchi Hideyoshi feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he didn't get back a penny of the billion he lent to Guan Xiaowei last time. Guan Xiaowei told him directly , they were all confiscated by Zhou Zichen and the police.
Although this is indeed the case, Guan Xiaowei's people took away part of it. No one knows how many, but it is estimated that it is not too much. Anyone who has seen cash knows that those two vans still need to carry so many people. Even if they were asked to install it, they wouldn't be able to fit much into it.
Therefore, Takeuchi Hideyoshi now thinks that Guan Xiaowei is just a loser. He can't do anything to Zhou Zichen even if he gives money to others. Instead, he is beaten to pieces by Zhou Zichen. He is unhappy no matter how he looks at Zhou Zichen. After all, the source of all this is Zhou Zichen. .
However, even if Takeuchi Hideyoshi was unhappy, he would not show these things on his face: "Yes, old friends, I also went to Mr. Zhou's antique city, and there is something there that I really like."
"Mr. Takeuchi is interested in that 94-style samurai sword, right?" Zhou Zichen said and clicked his tongue: "94-style samurai swords are really hard to find. When the Japanese invaded China, they only made some of them. The upper floors were later all Type 95 and Type 98."
Zhou Zichen deliberately revealed what happened back then, and also told Takeuchi Hideyoshi that because of what happened back then, I couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy.
Moreover, these words were also testing Takeuchi Hideyoshi to see if he really wanted this sword.
Takeuchi Hideyoshi did not expect that Zhou Zichen knew the origin of this sword, but he did not know the real secret of this sword. A trace of joy flashed in his eyes, but this glimmer of joy only passed by for a moment.
However, Zhou Zichen had always paid attention to Takeuchi Hideyoshi's expression. Even if it only flashed by, Zhou Zichen could see it clearly.
Takeuchi Hideyoshi did not answer Zhou Zichen's words, but asked: "I wonder, Mr. Zhou, if this samurai sword can be parted from me? After all, this sword is still very collectible."
Zhou Zichen said: "This knife is not for sale. For me, this knife is not only a collection, but also a reminder to remember the national humiliation and to make more contributions to China and strengthen the country."
Only then can we have room to speak, Mr. Takeuchi, are you right?"
"Pa bang bang..."
Several people nearby suddenly applauded Zhou Zichen, and some even gave Zhou Zichen a thumbs up. These people were all their compatriots.
This burst of applause caused many people to walk towards the side.
Takeuchi Hideyoshi looked a little embarrassed: "Mr. Zhou is right, but a person's power is limited, and there are too few people who can influence the entire country with their own power."
Instead, Zhou Zichen nodded repeatedly: "I partially agree with what Mr. Takeuchi said. A person's power is limited. In economic terms, as long as people work, they are creating wealth for the country. Our country can develop."
Such speed is created by the efforts of several generations of us. As long as farmers grow food, merchants circulate goods, and teachers pass on culture, there are countless such talents who can make our country rich and strong, so that there will not be a second time in several decades.
Things like that happened before.”
"So, I will not sell that knife, even if you pay one billion, I will keep it to remind myself not to forget the national humiliation."
Zhou Zichen changed the topic again: "If your country is willing to come to us for exchanges with an attitude of learning and discussion, we will be ready to welcome you with sincerity."
After Zhou Zichen finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from all around, and people shouted "Okay!" from time to time.
In fact, most people who really play antiques love history and culture and have a passionate patriotism. They may be radical sometimes, but they absolutely do not want to see their country suffer.
Takeuchi Hideyoshi was stunned, but he was still recovering from the attack. He smiled awkwardly, and then found a reason to leave.
