Chapter 0089 – Prairie Black Market (IV)
Inside every line of work, there are its own rules.
Just like before a Hong Kong movie starts shooting. Need to worship Guan Erge, tomb raiding gold, also want to put a lamp in the southeast corner of the tomb, say a little more straightforward, like want to mobilize the work to the head of the gift, want to package project to give people kickbacks, want to be famous and director sleep, want to open a store should be good business tax and so on.
Similarly, the black market auction this line of work, there is also a common and unwritten rules, that is, to participate in the auction, must be within the line of work, to say a little bit, that must be Chinese, which is also the reasoning of fertilizer flow outsiders, but now suddenly appeared out of such a Japanese, that is, Lang Jie bad rules.
Long Jie engaged in this black market, in fact, is to put some of the unseen, or there is no way through the normal channels to sell the goods, with the black market auction way, will sell out. Most of the sellers were poachers or grave robbers, anyway, there were all kinds of things.
The buyers here are mostly antique players, many of them have certain social relations and status, they are not afraid of these artifacts of unknown origin, naturally there are ways to whitewash them.
As for the black market itself, just play the role of an intermediary, low buy high sell, earn the profit in the middle, only they themselves resell the price, than from those who buy things in the hands of the price, often dozens of times or even hundreds of times higher, coupled with Lang Jie’s many channels of purchase, often some good things, is in the domestic black market of antiques, but also counted on the number one person, often attracts many players to come here to taunt.
“Boss Jiang, this is not the first time you have participated in this kind of auction, you should understand our rules! It’s very difficult for me if you do this!”
Looking at Long Jie’s appearance, it seemed that he didn’t know beforehand that there would be a Japanese person coming, and immediately said to a middle-aged man in his fifties standing next to the Japanese person, and his tone wasn’t very courteous.
From the time these three people entered the tent, in fact, it was only a short time of one or two minutes, the attention of the crowd was attracted by the Japanese man. It was only after hearing Long Jie’s words that they shifted their gaze to that Boss Jiang.
Zhuang Rui how to look, how to feel that person is very familiar, suddenly remembered, he had seen this person on the cover of a magazine, seems to be a large enterprise in Sichuan’s boss, that enterprise’s annual production profit, are counted by more than a billion, just did not expect, he actually will also come to this kind of occasion, listen to the meaning of Lang Jie’s words, it seems that it is not the first time to come.
“Brother Long Jie, all bosses, this time the thing is Jiang someone is not doing things well, I hope everyone will bear with me, Mr. Takeuchi has always been an anti-war person in Japan, and also a friend of the Chinese people, I hope that everyone will sell Jiang a face, in the future, Jiang will be accountable to everyone.”
In fact, Mr. Jiang also has a bitter experience, he has a core technology for the technological transformation of his enterprise this time. Domestic has not been developed, must cooperate with a Japanese enterprise, this time with him to come to the Japanese, is that the Japanese company’s vice president Takeuchi, is also responsible for this negotiation on behalf of the person, this person is very fond of Chinese culture, but also collects a lot of Chinese antiques, can be considered half of the Chinese pass.
Takeuchi overheard that Mr. Jiang knew where these black markets were held, so he specially proposed to come and see them, and gave Mr. Jiang a promise that if he could bring him along when participating in the black market auctions, then he would also make some concessions in the negotiation, and such conditions made Mr. Jiang really unable to refuse, which is why there was this scene that took place in the tent.
After hearing the words of Mr. Jiang, the people in the tent, were silent, in fact, we all know in our hearts, in order to high profits, the black market in the object, there are many have flowed to the foreign countries, to the hands of some international collectors, that is, these people here, there may be some people have done this kind of thing, coupled with Mr. Jiang is really a great status of the people, so lowly pleading, if he swept away his face, then, it would be somewhat unkind. Inevitably, it is a bit unkind, so. Most people are considered to be the default.
Liu Chuan is not eat this set, he simply do not recognize this Jiang someone is a holy man, step forward, open mouth to speak, but was Zhuang Rui pulled, to the mouth of the words, and swallowed back.
“Wood, what are you pulling me for, don’t know I’ve been annoyed with the Japs since I was a kid!”
Liu Chuan muttered in his mouth, the voice was so loud that the whole tent, all heard it clearly, they couldn’t pull their faces to open their mouths to speak, and Liu Chuan topped it out, which was just what they wanted.
“This gentleman, I for my country’s militarism, is also extremely opposed to, for the year when the country in your country committed crimes, I am willing to my own identity, to all of you to make amends ……”
I did not expect that this Takeuchi actually is a Chinese, Liu Chuan’s words to listen to a word for word, and also walked to Liu Chuan in front of, deeply bent his waist. Has not been raised again, it seems that Liu Chuan does not promise him to participate in this black market auction, he will always be so, just do not know, Takeuchi why a tent into the Japanese language, to his level of Mandarin, if a few words less, I’m afraid that the crowd can not recognize it!
Liu Chuan this person’s character, has always been to eat soft but not hard, in front of Takeuchi so performance, but let him can not say. And before his grandfather in the war years, but personally killed a lot of Japanese devils, although more than a few gunshot holes in the body, that cheap is also accounted for, thought here, Liu Chuan waved his hand, said: “To participate in it, ask me what to do, go to find the boss of Langjie.” The meaning in the words is not opposed.
“Thank you this little brother, in the future, if you all need any help from Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang will definitely try his best to do it.”
After hearing Liu Chuan’s words, Mr. Jiang also put down his heart, the people in the tent, except for Zhuang Rui a few eyes, the rest of the people more or less have a few friendships, and will surely sell him this face, now that Liu Chuan loosened up, naturally, there will be no one to oppose it anymore.
Mr. Jiang sidled up and said something to a young man next to him, and that person immediately walked out, holding a box of business cards in his hand, and one by one, he handed them out with both hands to everyone in the tent.
“Hehe, it’s really broad-minded.”
Liu Chuan received that hot gold business card and laughed in a low voice, this time his voice was very small, after all, he already didn’t object to that Japanese person participating in the auction, and there was no need to offend this General Manager Jiang, who seemed to have a lot to offer.
“You kid can’t say less.”
Zhuang Rui poked Liu Chuan’s waist and eyes, let him sit back to the chair, Zhuang Rui heart is another plan, just with his own pair of eyes, wait a while can also add some blockage to this Japanese, why bother to be evil on the surface!
“Well, we’ve delayed everyone quite a bit today, let’s start now!”
Seeing that the storm had calmed down, Long Jie waved his hand, and immediately came over a few lads and set up a square table in the middle of the tent, then the two people who were originally standing inside the corner. One of them lifted the curtain behind them and took out an object from inside, placed it on a plate and brought it out.
It was only then that Zhuang Rui realized that that was where the items for this auction were placed, no wonder it was guarded all the time.
“As you all know, although I personally am very against hunting Tibetan antelope, but there will always be some people who will do this kind of thing, some time ago, through some channels, this one shatush that was shipped overseas was kept, but I’m a businessman, things still need to be sold, today’s first auction item, it’s a shatush shawl, as you all know, shatush means ‘King of Cashmere’! The starting price for this shawl is, ten thousand RMB!”
Langjie’s voice rang out in the tent, explaining the origins of the lot to the crowd present, originally the origins of the lot here, are not in need of explanation, but for the Tibetans, the slaughter of Tibetan antelopes is not a very good reputation, so he also said a few more words, and the young man with a tray, was walking around the place where the crowd was sitting, putting the tray that was folded up, with a beautiful pattern on it, to let the crowd get a closer look at the shawl, and the young man with a tray, walking around the place where the crowd was sitting, and putting the tray folded up, with a beautiful pattern on it, to let the crowd get a closer look at the shawl, and the crowd get a better look at it. shawl, giving the crowd a closer look at it.
When the young man returned to the center of the tent, Ranger removed a ring from his hand, picked up the shawl on the plate, and threaded a corner of the shawl into a section of the ring, Ranger used his hand to gently tug at the other end of the ring, and the entire shawl, which was about 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, was like a mass of silken threads, soft and smooth as water, and threaded its way through the ring.
The attraction of this shawl for women could be described as great, even the sunglasses woman who hadn’t opened her mouth to speak, after taking a deep look at that shawl, she quickly typed on her laptop, seemingly inquiring about something.
“Brother Ma, what a beautiful shawl! Buy it for me! Is it good!”
The sultry woman’s accent with a trill rang out again.
“Okay, my little good boy, let’s buy it, Boss Long Jie, I’ll offer ten thousand.”
The fat man had just lost face in front of Zhuang Rui, at this moment he seemed to be eager to get it back, and took the lead in bidding.
Out of the crowd’s expectation, that sunglasses woman actually didn’t open the bidding after her eyes left the computer screen, and the rest of the people in the room didn’t have much interest in this shawl, Long Jie waited for a few minutes and then opened his mouth and said, “Since no one is bidding any more, then this shawl is …… ”
“I’ll bid fifteen thousand ……”
Zhuang Rui’s voice interrupted Lang Jie’s words, but also let Lang Jie excited, the seller of course want their own things someone to raise the price, and then shouted: “Liu boss this side of the price of fifteen thousand, now is fifteen thousand dollars, there is no friend to open the price of?”
At this time that sunglasses woman side of the face, looked at Zhuang Rui a glance, although through the sunglasses, Zhuang Rui from that gaze to see a trace of contempt.
“Huh, your kid has a lot of money! What’s the point of buying this, oh, I know.”
Liu Chuan was a bit strange, but immediately reacted, hehehe lewdly smiled.
