The other party, or Xiao Zheng, said on the phone:
"This matter is very complicated. Who are you from Tang Zhengguo? Where did you find this phone number?"
"Of course it's on Tang Zhengguo's mobile phone. Do you know something?"
"Let's see, let's meet at the Fugang Hotel in the evening!"
"good!"
It seems that the current situation of the Xiao family in Jiangnan is not very good, this is Xiao Qing's first thought.
If the situation was good, would you still hide?
The second is that there is a chance that this Fu Hong Kong City will also close the eyes of the Xiao family in Bei!
But there is no evidence for these. For Xiao Qing, the Xiao family in Guanbei is destined to be his opponent. After all, he has the other half of the Three Classics Collection!
There are still some doubts about this Xiao Zheng.
First, it is still uncertain whether Xiao Zheng is from the Xiao family in Jiangnan. Xiao Qing has photos in his hand, so we will only know after meeting him.
The reason why I said I was from the Xiao family in Jiangnan just now was actually one of the means used to lure him out!
Xiao Qing can only verify it after meeting him in person.
The other thing is to be prepared for everything. If this guy is actually fake, then the problem will be big. What if he is also a member of the Guanbei Xiao family, or has been bribed by the Guanbei Xiao family?
But looking at it now, it doesn't look like it, so this is doubtful.
The second thing is this person's calmness. I couldn't hear any mood swings on the phone at all. He was a bit too cold!
If Tang Zhengguo was his good friend, how could he be so calm when he knew someone was looking for a lotus leaf cover jar?
Shouldn't there be some suspicion?
Instinct tells Xiao Qing that Tang Zhengguo's death may not be that simple!
…
That night, we went to the Hong Kong Hotel.
As one of the highest-standard hotels in Fugang City, the owner of this hotel has a very simple background. I heard that he was a bad guy before, but later retired and quit working, and relied on his family wealth to open a big hotel.
Over the years, there has been an endless stream of customers, and there are also many former friends of the boss who come to him to chat, drink tea, etc.
These are not the important points. The important point is that this boss has some relationship with a local leader in the antique business.
This leader is a middle-aged man, and everyone on the ground likes to call him Mr. Ding.
No one knows the real name, but they know that there is a big boss behind this faucet. I heard that he is one of the biggest bosses in the country, with a fortune worth hundreds of billions. They like antiques.
Zhou Shen and Guan Zhonghua followed the room number given by the fat boss and came to a quite spacious private room.
The fat boss has arrived now. As long as he has money, he is more active than anyone else.
"Boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time. The treasure appraiser of the Xiao family will be here soon. Please sit down and let's see what we can eat."
"You're welcome, just eat whatever you want, the focus is still on the transaction!"
Of course, Zhou Shen came with enough money, and he brought a bank card. The money was the few deposits left during this period.
Part of the five to six billion was used by Zhou Shen to develop Sugon Network. Development of the company was a bottomless pit, but it opened up many relationships and the company also recruited many new employees.
"I said, if you just throw a few hundred million into the company, what will happen to your family?"
"Money is enough for your family, but if you want to use it to pursue something very high, one day you will find that money is never enough!"
Guan Zhonghua and Zhou Shen laughed and chatted for a while, and the fat boss echoed beside him. Not long after, the door of the private room was opened.
Then a serious-looking middle-aged man walked in. He had single eyelids, dark eyes, thin lips, a straight nose, and some faint wrinkles could be seen in the corners of his eyes.
When Zhou Shen saw this person, he frowned and thought about it in his mind.
This middle-aged man looks to be in his fifties or almost sixty. Judging from his age, he should be of the same generation as Xiao Suo and the others!
But is it a bit too old?
Even Xiao Cheng and Mr. Xiao from the Xiao family are only in their forties and less than fifty!
This guy in front of me is actually older than the second master of the Xiao family?
But didn’t the eldest son of the Xiao family die in infancy?
The current generation of the Xiao family that is still alive, the second master, the fourth master, and the fifth master are all from the Xiao family in Guanbei. There is only one third master who is from the Xiao family in Jiangnan!
If Zhou Shen's guess is correct, the third master of the Xiao family should be the current person in charge of the Xiao family in Jiangnan!
The previous head of the Xiao family should have been the second prince, that was the older generation!
There has been no news about the second grandfather for so many years. It is said that he has died of illness. There is also an eldest lady. The eldest lady should be the sixth child of the Xiao family. For the Xiao family in Jiangnan, she is certainly the eldest lady.
This young lady ranked sixth in the Xiao family should be Xiao Qing's mother. There is not much description about Xiao Qing's father. He should be an ordinary person and a businessman.
If you calculate it like this, the so-called treasure appraiser of the Xiao family in front of you is simply a fake!
"Boy, I'm sorry for being late. My name is Xiao Tianyou. I have made some achievements in the field of treasure appraisal!"
Zhou Shen smiled, shook hands with Xiao Tianyou, and said:
"Is Mr. Xiao a member of the Xiao family in Jiangnan?"
"Exactly, I am ashamed to say that such a large family has grown to this day, and I am the only heir left. However, I have still made some achievements in the appreciation of antiques!"
Zhou Shen nodded with a smile and continued:
"I heard that the Xiao family has a "Tongjian of Antiquities". It is rumored that more than 90% of the treasures from five thousand years ago are recorded in it. I don't know if it is true or not?"
"Hey, I'm so ashamed, most of this book has been lost now, and I only have fragments in my hands!"
Guan Zhonghua sneered, this man is clearly a charlatan!
He didn't know why Zhou Shen asked these questions, but he could still tell that the middle-aged man was lying from beginning to end!
Zhou Shen sat down with a smile and said to the fat boss:
"I think you don't want to do good business with us, boss. What do you mean by recruiting such a charlatan?"
The fat boss was stunned at that time and said subconsciously:
"What do you mean? Why can't I understand you? Why are you a charlatan?"
"Boss, although the status of our Xiao family has plummeted, we are definitely not someone who can be insulted if they want to!"
Zhou Shen was still smiling:
"What is the Tongjian of Antiquities? Is there such a book? The book passed down from the ancestors of the Xiao family in Jiangnan is called the "Collection of Three Classics", and among the descendants who are still alive, the oldest one is only forty-eight. Look at your age!"
Xiao Cheng is the eldest among them.
Xiao Cheng's age is used as a reference here. Sure enough, after saying these words, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became panicked!
"There is more than one family named Xiao here in Jiangnan. Did I find the wrong person?"
"Then why don't you get out, do you think I have time to spend time with you?"
"Ding! The host's anger has shocked the supporting role. The villain is worth 999!"
This guy named Xiao Tianyou opened the door with an ugly expression and left the private room.
