21. Chapter 21 King Snake Fights Giant Python(2/3)

"Uncle Gong, Uncle Lin, Uncle Wu, my nephew, I have made a fool of myself here, and I would like some seniors to give me some pointers. If there is anything wrong, please let me know."

The tone was full of politeness.

Several seniors who had been sitting around He Xinlong got up and walked over, but they still said politely: "Young master, you are so polite. We still know your eyesight. How can any of these ten things be fake?"

Woolen cloth."

"Yes, Young Master, I have never seen some of the things you put on display. How do you think we can tell them apart?"

The laughter continued for a while, pushing He Xiangfei to the highest level.

But if you stand too high, you will easily fall miserably. When the seniors began to take a closer look at these things, they slowly closed their mouths.

Some shopkeepers and experts in the antique shop also saw some clues, and couldn't help but whisper to the senior experts for advice.

This caused a little bit of disharmony in the scene, and whispers continued.

He Xiangfei was stunned for a moment, his face turned blue, and he walked over a bit rudely, and asked politely: "Uncle Gong, is there something wrong with this golden mask used to bury the Lord of Liao?"

Uncle Gong is a good old man, and today is such an important day for He Xiangfei. How could he say something inappropriate? He quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's just that it's been a long time, and some of the inscriptions can't be seen clearly."

Then he laughed out loud, which warmed up the scene that had suddenly cooled down again.

Everyone else had the same idea, so they didn't say anything more and sat back down after reading it.

He Xinlong is such a smart man. Although his eyesight is not good because of his age, he can still see these clues clearly, and he couldn't help but ask Uncle Gong in his ear.

At this time, Uncle Gong naturally told the truth and told the truth. But he only said it in a low voice, and no one paid attention. However, He Xinlong's expression changed, and he put down the purple clay teapot in his hand, feeling a little unhappy.

After that, he continued to follow the usual process. After everyone had seen it, He Xinlong regained his composure and said: "Since everyone has seen the things, then raise your hands and take whatever you like. We, He Xinzhai, will definitely

Give up love."

Afraid that the scene would be deserted because of what happened just now, he said jokingly: "I just heard President Gong say, why did He Xinzhai have a sudden arrival today? Mr. Xiao Ding, he has a pair of wise eyes and a good hand of painting. I wonder if I can let this old man see it."

Experience."

People couldn't help but look at Ding Xiaobu.

Ding Xiaobu was stunned for a moment, and then saw everyone looking over, as if they wanted him to speak, so he couldn't help but laugh, "Since you came to the door yourself, don't blame me for being rude!"

He walked over directly. After He Xiangfei finished the provocation, he had already guessed that someone would stand up, and he also hoped that someone would stand up, because in this way he could continue to get angry and drive out the people from Yubaozhai.

It's not that he has any deep hatred, it's just that he doesn't want someone he doesn't like to be present at his most important moment.

The people from Yubaozhai were definitely one of the people he didn't like, so he remembered clearly that he had never sent an invitation letter to Yubaozhai.

Of course, it is also possible that it was sent by another staff member, or even by his father or grandfather.

But no matter what, He Xiangfei could not allow people from Yubaozhai to be around when he was most important, so he made such a provocation.

He didn't expect that the person who would stand up would be Ding Xiaobu, which made him startled. Because he had just heard the rumors from outside, and he couldn't help but admire this young man's ability. But he didn't expect that he would actually stand on his own now.

The opposite made He Xiangfei frown and chuckled: "It's just a joke, little brother, why should we take it seriously?"

He also laughed, bringing the originally silent scene back to life, and everyone laughed too, but there was a pity in their hearts that they didn't watch the good show of a king snake meeting a giant python, which seemed a little bit...

have no choice.

Ding Xiaobu didn't fight back in vain. Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss, and this was his home court, so he didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, He Xiangfei had just walked out not far when he coldly scolded the staff member: "Hurry up and check it out for me. What's going on? Cats and dogs have been let in. What kind of place are we, He Xinzhai, using?"

, a bunch of trash.”

The meaning of the words was naturally directed at Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie, which also made the originally warm situation cool down again, and no one dared to speak loudly.

Because they all know that this good show seems to have made new progress, and they are all looking forward to Ding Xiaobu's counterattack.

But Kou Sijie suddenly grabbed Ding Xiaobu's hand and shook his head at him, which meant that he should endure it.

Ding Xiaobu was really angry. He felt as if he had been tricked and hit by an arrow in the back. He was very depressed. But the young woman had already spoken, so he had no choice but to let it go and did not fight back. The scene was filled with catharsis.

Even Wang Shan next to him let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Ten years is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi. Mr. Xiao Ding, don't worry, I see that your Royal Treasure House

Ah, it’s time to develop.”

He also patted Ding Xiaobu on the shoulder, which means it all depends on you.

The other people who were originally chatting also quickly cheered up Kou Sijie and Ding Xiaobu, making them feel as if they were at home and not so angry.

However, they were still a little depressed, so the two of them walked to the side, took a glass of champagne, and started drinking by themselves.

Kou Sijie even took a sip and sighed: "My husband fought with them every day when he was alive. Not to mention the ones he couldn't fight with, he even collapsed from exhaustion. Now, I just want to make some money and live a good life."

So, brother Xiaobu, don’t be angry, haven’t we already made more than 300,000 yuan?”

"That's true."

Ding Xiaobu could understand the young woman's mood, so he didn't force it, but his character couldn't give in like that. Especially when he saw the young woman's helpless expression, he became even more angry, and secretly took advantage of it.

I made up my mind to take revenge.

But he didn't understand the grievances between Yubaozhai and He Xinzhai, so he asked: "Sister Kou, it's still early, the appreciation meeting officially starts in the afternoon, why don't you tell me about the grievances between your two families."

"this??????"

The young woman didn't want to talk about it, because this history of grievances was almost the history of the Lin family's defeat, but now on this occasion and in this atmosphere, she felt it was okay to talk about it, so she started talking about it.

It turns out that Yubaozhai was built when Shanghai was established as a concession in the late Qing Dynasty. The business at that time was not very good, and it was only enough for the family to make ends meet.

It wasn't until the founding of the Republic of China and Shanghai SIPG became a world of beauty that Yubaozhai finally gained some fame and some foundation. But it didn't last long, and then it caught up with the eight-year Anti-Japanese War. Within three years, everything was open and closed.

It didn't develop much, but it managed to survive without closing down.

Later, it became a public-private partnership. After the ten-year Cultural Revolution, it was completely closed down. During this period, in order to preserve some antiques and cultural relics, several elderly people in the Lin family died before they could survive that crisis.

After the reform and opening up, Hong Kong businessmen, Taiwanese businessmen, and overseas Chinese came to SIPG to invest one after another, which also triggered a craze for antiques. At this time, Yubaozhai finally became the first example in SIPG based on the foundation that had survived these years.

The leading boss.

He Xinzhai had just been established and opened for business at this time. The business was not very good at the beginning. He also came to Yubaozhai to visit the dock and received a lot of help from Grandpa Lin Youyou.

But things in the world are like this, with ups and downs. After Lin Youyou's grandfather died, Yubaozhai's business began to become worse than before, reducing by more than half. But it still maintained its status as the leader.

However, it rained all night, and Yubaozhai was implicated in a cultural relic smuggling case and closed for more than half a year. As a result, the business suddenly dropped by more than half. In addition, the business was not very good, and Yubaozhai finally closed down.

It's because his golden status has been shattered and he has lost the momentum of being the leader in the industry.

As for this matter, I later found out that it was He Xinzhai who reported it. Of course, it was Yu Baozhai who failed to do a good job and gave others a handle, so he didn't think too much about it at first.

Unexpectedly, in the next two or three years, He Xinzhai targeted Yubaozhai everywhere, causing Yubaozhai's business to never improve.

It was also announced that He Xinzhai would replace Yu Baozhai as the top player in SIPG. Since then, the struggle between you and me has begun for more than ten years.

In this process, Yubaozhai also lost more and won less, and was gradually eroded by He Xinzhai. However, after more than ten years of fighting, He Xinzhai stepped on Yubaozhai and became the real leader of SIPG.

Yifan, the industry leader.

So it is understandable why the two families started to fight each other as soon as they met.

Ding Xiaobu finally understood and couldn't help but patted the young woman's shoulder to express comfort.

The young woman smiled calmly and said: "Brother Xiaobu, I'm not sad. Didn't you tell me that when we came here? Life is bound to have its ups and downs, not to mention this century-old foundation. So, I'm not sad at all.

When my husband passed away, he was able to bear the humiliation and come to this appreciation conference, so why can't I come?

Besides, how could you possibly get the food you have now with the style you had back then? Our Yubaozhai has just started again, so it’s even more important to come. And it’s the right time to come, haven’t we already earned more than 300,000 yuan?

?” and smiled faintly.

Ding Xiaobu said nothing more, but he could still see a bit of sadness in the young woman's eyebrows, and he couldn't help but make up his mind that he must help Yu Baozhai and Doudou He Xinzhai.

Then at noon, the two of them had a light meal with Wang Shan and others. The food was pretty good, and their moods relaxed a lot.

After returning to the hall, the appreciation meeting officially began, and it also reached the climax. He Xinzhai was going to display their collection this year.

Everyone immediately gathered around the booth, three floors inside and three outside, looking at the ten exhibits wrapped in yellow cloth. They couldn't help but whisper and guess among themselves.

The true face of ten things.

Some of them are paintings, and some are Buddha statues or porcelain. But what they are, you can only know when the yellow cloth is lifted, and you start to look forward to the appearance of He Xinzhai's old club.

.

Because according to tradition, this pioneer in the SIPG antique shop and the leader of the industry can only lift the yellow cloth after he appears.

At this time, thousands of troops finally came out. Surrounded by the crowd, an old man over seventy years old with white temples walked out on a cane.

Although he looked good, one of his legs could not move. The young master, He Xiangfei, carefully supported him beside him, which also showed his identity as his successor.

Immediately afterwards, deafening applause erupted in the hall, giving the most sincere welcome to this leading figure in the SIPG antique shop.

"You're welcome, everyone. You're welcome, everyone."

The old man's name was He Xinlong. He was from the north and had a bit of a Hebei accent. As soon as he came up, he greeted everyone politely without any airs. However, his deeds did not allow people to admire him and he immediately returned the greeting politely.

Behind him were some people from the antique shop, such as Uncle Gong, the old men who had gathered around Ding Xiaobu just now, and naturally some staff from He Xinzhai, forming a small queue.

Surrounded by people, the momentum becomes even stronger.

After everyone came in, He Xinlong sat down and then spoke again, "Everyone is impatient, Xiao Fei, so hurry up and show it to everyone."

"Hey, Grandpa!"
