"No, no, let's just take a look. We don't have any money." The astrologer girl waved her hands repeatedly, and looked at Yun Shuying with some resentment: "And our boss won't let us buy these scraps of metal back."
Xu Tian's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he thought to himself: Even if all the antiques displayed in the hall are not genuine, in an antique store of this size, even the fakes are well-made and high imitations, and now they are all faked.
The sparse shadows are said to be scrap metal.
He suddenly thought of the first time he met Yun Shuying, when he casually spread a piece of coarse cloth on the ground and set up a stall to do business. Although the things he sold looked inconspicuous, and the prices were not high in the antique circle,
But I didn't expect that it turned out to be a priceless treasure.
This made Xu Tian even more curious about the identities of Yun Shuying and others. These people obviously looked like they were short of money, but they had a broad vision and were not interested in priceless antiques at all.
The most important thing is that Xu Tianjian's attitude towards the antiques in the store was not as if they were denigrating them because they could not afford them, but because they sincerely looked down on the antiques displayed in the store.
This sense of fragmentation made Xu Tian once again put a big question mark on the identities of these people.
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
Not five minutes after the boy went upstairs, a middle-aged man with a big belly in a suit and ties walked down. Looking at his appearance, he must be Chen Sanping, the owner of Linglong Zhai.
After Chen Sanping came downstairs, he immediately walked up to Jiang Yan and the Tang syndrome expert team with a smile.
"Manager Jiang, experts, long time no see. Chen is busy with the auction and can't get away from it. I'm sorry for the loss. I hope you can forgive me."
Jiang Yan also smiled and greeted Chen Sanping and said politely: "We are all old acquaintances. Boss Chen doesn't need to care about those red tapes."
Other members of the Down syndrome expert team also stood up and greeted Chen Sanping.
Everyone sat down again, and then Chen Sanping looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Tian. A flash of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he turned to Jiang Yan and asked, "Why didn't I see Mr. Gu?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan pointed to Xu Tian next to him and said: "Mr. Gu didn't come this time. The one who came with us is Mr. Xu Tianxu. Boss Chen, don't look at Mr. Xu because he is young. He is now the general manager of Tang Group."
Damn, he is the popular person next to Mr. Tang."
Then Jiang Yan introduced Chen Sanping to Xu Tian: "Mr. Xu, this is Chen Sanping, the vice president of Country Y Antiques Association and the owner of the largest antique shop in Pawa City."
"Hello, Boss Chen." Xu Tian did not stand up, but just nodded to Chen Sanping as a greeting.
Hearing this, Chen Sanping looked at Xu Tian carefully from top to bottom, then his face darkened and his tone became a little stiff: "Manager Jiang, I have been dealing with Mr. Gu before, why did you suddenly change to someone else this time?
come over?"
"There are many buyers who want to trade with me privately for this set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. The reason why I still leave it to your Tang Group is because of Mr. Gu's face."
"Boss Li, who often visited our store before, came to me and begged me several times, but I didn't agree to give him the set of porcelain. Now you just randomly send a young boy to deal with me. This is not treating me like Chen Sanping."
In your eyes?"
After hearing Chen Sanping's words, the faces of Bai Lu and Su Jinchen beside Xu Tian sank.
Xu Tian is the son-in-law of the Tang family and the husband of Mr. Tang Bingyan. If discussing business with Chen Sanping in this capacity is considered perfunctory, then does it mean that Tang Bingyan must be present in person to give him face?
Bai Lu was outspoken and immediately said to Chen Sanping in a cold voice: "Boss Chen, this Mr. Xu Tianxu is the future son-in-law of the Tang family and the most important person around Mr. Tang. Now that you think we are perfunctory, do you have to ask us?"
Will Mr. Tang agree to the deal only if he comes forward in person?"
Although Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan had already received a marriage certificate, they had not made it public, so Bai Lu only said that Xu Tian was the future son-in-law of the Tang family.
However, the word "future" has a lot of water in Chen Sanping's eyes.
What's more, he had already negotiated the details of the deal with Gu Beicheng before, and he was more supportive of Gu Beicheng. Now that a pretty boy suddenly showed up, it really made him a little annoyed.
Faced with Bai Lu's questioning, Chen Sanping not only refused to compromise, but said with an arrogant look: "Of course I dare not bother Mr. Tang to come forward in person, but at least he should send a prestigious senior executive of the group to talk to me.
"
"And regarding this set of porcelain vases, it was Mr. Gu who came to negotiate with me before. It was for Mr. Gu's sake that I relented and left this set of porcelain vases to you. Now, I don't agree with the temporary substitution before the transaction."
He didn't get a formal marriage certificate, so he couldn't be considered a son-in-law of the Tang family. What's more, he had already heard the rumors coming from the Tang family.
Xu Tian, the pretty boy, just relied on his youth and good looks, coupled with his sweet words to please him, to coax Tang Bingyan into confusion, and even made an exception to place him as the general manager of the group.
How could a wimp like this, who relied on soft food to rise to the top, have any real abilities, let alone the connections and resources that Gu Beicheng and the Gu family could bring to him? Therefore, from the beginning, Chen Sanping stood firmly with Gu Beicheng.
That side.
Everyone knows that Gu Beicheng and Tang Bingyan are childhood sweethearts, and the Gu family is considered a big and prestigious family in China. Compared with such a big backer, Chen Sanping would be out of his mind if he would choose Xu Tian, a pretty boy with no background or ability.
What's more, in Pawa's antique world, he, Chen Sanping, has the absolute right to speak. Except for the vice president of the Antiques Association, if you want to get involved in this industry, you must act according to his eyes, even in China Dingding.
Even the famous Tang family had to show courtesy to him when they entered his territory.
As long as it was Pava's antiques that he handled, he would not relent and agree to private transactions, so he could only proceed with the formal auction process.
He was very aware of the relationship between the Tang family and China's high-level cultural departments, and naturally knew that the purpose of the Tang family's visit to Pava to participate in the private auction was to help the high-level officials find treasures that had been lost all over the world.
It can be said that without his approval, if the Tang family failed to complete the task this time, there would be no way to explain it to the top management of China. That's why Chen Sanping dared to show off in front of Xu Tian so arrogantly, and he didn't dare to do anything to himself.
.
Seeing Chen Sanping's tough attitude, Jiang Yan looked at Xu Tian with some complaints. If Xu Tian hadn't insisted on taking the credit from Gu Beicheng, they wouldn't be making things difficult now.
Several experts from the expert group traveling on behalf of the Tang Group were even more anxious, and they all tried their best to persuade Chen Sanping to conduct the transaction privately as they had agreed in advance.
