The car stopped in front of an alley. Mr. Cui got out of the car first, pointed to the front, and said, "This is the store I was talking about."
Director Qu frowned lightly. This area is the largest urban village on the outskirts of the capital. The environment is naturally not very good. Most of the houses with more than two floors are built illegally. Various wires are tangled in the corners of the wall. From time to time, There are also young people with local accents passing by.
Then Director Qu looked in the direction pointed by Mr. Cui and saw a shop without a signboard. The door of the shop was not big and looked shabby. Director Qu followed Mr. Cui and walked in, only to find that there was something different inside.
There are various antiques on the rows of shelves. The large ones are placed directly outside, while the small ones are placed in glass cabinets.
An old man wearing spectacles came over, looked at the two of them, and then said, "You two can just take a look."
After the old man finished speaking, he started to work on his own and ignored Mr. Cui and Director Qu.
Director Qu said to himself that this boss didn't seem to be enthusiastic at all. The antique business has always been closed for three years and opened for three years. In ordinary antique stores, when customers come, the store owners will always greet customers with a smile. After all, It's not easy to get a customer, and the store owner is also afraid that the customer will damage something, so he will always follow the customer. How can there be no one as indifferent as this old man
Then, Director Qu looked at the things on the shelf and burst into laughter. None of the things on the shelf were genuine. They were all fakes made by modern people. The oldest ones were only more than ten years old. Some of them still had... There are traces of laser technology, and you can tell at a glance that it was only made in the past year or two.
"They are all fakes. No wonder the boss doesn't care about them. They are not worth much money anyway if they are damaged. Mr. Cui seems to have no understanding of antiques at all. His trip today was in vain and a waste of time..." Director Qu was a little confused. Dissatisfied, he thought that Mr. Cui brought him to the antique store to give him an antique, but the entire store was full of fakes, and even if he let himself choose, there would be nothing valuable.
Director Qu felt that there was no need to stay, so he was about to ask Mr. Cui to leave. When he looked at Mr. Cui, he found that Mr. Cui was holding a small bowl of pastel flowers in his hand.
"This is a modern imitation of a Qing Dynasty pastel flower bowl. This imitator is very careful. He knew that no one would believe someone who imitated the Qing Dynasty directly, so he first made it look like the Republic of China period, and then sold it as an imitation Qing Dynasty item from the Republic of China period. ." Director Qu recognized it at first glance, but then, when he saw the words "Yongzheng Year System" on the bottom of the bowl, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"This is..." Director Qu identified it carefully, and his heart suddenly started beating wildly.
"Director Qu, how do you look at the bowl?" Mr. Cui suddenly asked.
"This is a small pastel flower bowl imitated during the Republic of China. The appearance and shape are not bad." Director Qu pretended not to care and took the small bowl. As he spoke, he observed it carefully and then asked: "How much does this bowl cost, boss?"
"This is an imitation of the pastel flower bowl from the Yongzheng period of the Republic of China. Take it for 2,000 yuan!" the boss then said.
"2,000 yuan!" Director Qu looked very hesitant, as if he was considering whether it was worth it. Of course, this is all Director Qu's deliberate pretense. If he buys it happily and is worried that the store will become suspicious, he might not want to sell it. Director Qu must not act like he is picking up leaks.
However, at this time, Mr. Cui said: "Since you like it, I'll give this bowl to you! Boss, find a box to wrap the bowl!"
"That's not possible. How can I accept your things? I brought money, 2,000 yuan, right? Boss, I want it." Director Qu hurriedly took out the money and bought the bowl.
Sitting in the car going back, Director Qu fell into ecstasy.
"Unexpectedly, I picked up a leak today. The shop owner must have thought that I bought a fake, but he certainly didn't expect that he was mistaken! This is not a modern imitation of the Republic of China, nor is it an imitation of Yongzheng's items in the Republic of China. This is It's a genuine product! This thing, in such good condition, should cost at least four to five million!" Director Qu suppressed the excitement in his heart, but his face looked calm.
Mr. Cui next to me said, "There are quite a lot of imitation Qing Dynasty items on the market during the Republic of China, and many of them can be mistaken for real ones. Take the porcelain from the Yongzheng period as an example. The color wares from Yongzheng are much better than those from the Kangxi period. There are a lot of improvements, both the colors and patterns are more refined than before, the colors are thinner, the tones are very soft and elegant, the patterns are particularly neat and unique, and the flowers are particularly delicate and charming... "
Mr. Cui continued to explain, but Director Qu became more and more frightened. Director Qu originally thought that Mr. Cui did not know much about antiques, but judging from what Mr. Cui said, it was hard to say that Mr. Cui was not an antique novice, but he knew a lot about the bowl he just bought. !
At this moment, how could Director Qu still not understand that this was a game in the first place! Whether he picked it up by himself or the store made a mistake, there are no such coincidences in the world. This was all arranged by Mr. Cui in advance. The purpose was to take this opportunity to give himself this antique flower bowl worth hundreds of thousands!
There is also a trick to giving money to officials. Just take the money and go there. If you dare to give it away, you may not dare to accept it. Therefore, if you are a little smarter, you will find some excuses, such as selling someone a good house or car at a low price, or buying someone else's house or car at a high price, etc. Wait, it's like giving money in disguise, but it's still a bit too obvious, and some people don't dare to live in a good house or drive a good car. After all, it's too eye-catching.
Mr. Cui's method of giving gifts is quite clever. Although it goes in a big circle, it is much more concealed. Picking up leaks in an antique store is not a mistake. Even if the relevant departments come to investigate, it cannot be regarded as a disciplinary violation.
Thinking that this was just a "miss", Director Qu felt much relieved. He said half-jokingly: "Mr. Cui, you took me to a good place today. I will treat you to dinner tonight. Thank you very much."
"How can Director Qu spend money? But having said that, our group really needs some help from the Field Management Center." Seeing that Director Qu had understood, Mr. Cui simply made it clear.
Director Qu had already guessed that Mr. Cui had an ulterior motive and signaled Mr. Cui to continue, so Mr. Cui continued: "Our group has always hoped to sign Zhang Guan as our spokesperson, but Zhang Guan's endorsement fee is really high. , it’s not easy for us to run a business, please see if you can discuss with Zhang Guan to reduce the endorsement fee."
"That's right!" Director Qu nodded silently. Zhang Guan's management team has always been a worry for Director Qu. However, as Zhang Guan's grades got better and better and his reputation grew, Director Qu wanted to It has gradually become difficult to recover Zhang Guan's commercial development rights. At this time, Director Qu had an idea to kill two birds with one stone.
"You have to eat this meal one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step. As for Zhang Guan's commercial development rights, we can also recover them little by little. This year, we will first get two or three endorsements or advertisements from Zhang Guan, and then next year If we need two or three more, it will take three to five years to recover the commercial development rights!"
Director Qu thought of this, smiled slightly, and said to Mr. Cui: "I will go back and make arrangements for the matter you mentioned!"
Mr. Cui breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much, Director Qu. I will thank you deeply after everything is done!"
…
Zhang Guan did not participate in the closing ceremony of the Asian Games this time, so on the second night after the track and field competition, Zhang Guan boarded the plane back home.
After arriving at the Capital Airport, Zhang Guancai was taken to the conference room of Yiming Consulting as soon as he got off the plane. He Yiming and Zhuge Wenbo had been waiting for a long time.
Zhuge Wenbo's face was very unkind, and he said directly: "Yesterday, Director Qu of the Field Management Center personally sent someone to see me. He asked us to give two endorsements to the Field Management Center every year!"
"Endorse the Field Management Center? What do you mean?" Zhang Guan asked.
"The Farm Management Center will accept two endorsements and let you do it." Zhuge Wenbo said angrily: "Your commercial value development has always been independently operated by our championship team. Whether it is advertising or endorsements, whether it is accepted or not It is up to us to decide how much to accept, and we also have an agreement with the Tian Management Center. Now this Director Qu is obviously going to breach the contract. Their Tian Management Center helps you accept endorsements, but doesn’t it mean that they want to interfere with you? Commercial value development?”
"What about the price? Do we make the decision or do they?" Zhang Guan asked next.
"They make the decision. According to Director Qu, these two endorsements are completely handled by the Field Management Center, and our championship team should not interfere." Zhuge Wenbo said.
"Director Qu, this is the first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office!" Zhang Guan said while looking at He Yiming, hoping to solicit his opinion.
I saw He Yiming say: "I have paid attention to this Director Qu before. He had strongly opposed Zhang Guan's establishment of a brokerage team to independently carry out commercial value operations. After the establishment of our championship team, Director Qu also proposed They tried to forcibly disband the championship team, but they didn’t succeed.”
"So the ultimate goal of Director Qu's request for two endorsements is for commercial development rights?" Zhang Guan asked.
"I think so." He Yiming nodded, and then said to Zhang Guan: "Now in the eyes of some people, our championship team is a big piece of fat! According to your current business volume of nearly 300 million a year, In terms of income, our championship team also earns more than 20 million yuan in commissions a year, how can it be possible that no one is jealous? You are a cash cow, and there are many people who want to compete for it!"
Zhuge Wenbo interjected: "If this is the case, the two endorsements that Director Qu asked for this year may be just a test. Maybe there will be more next year. We can't make this a start."
"I don't think so." He Yiming continued: "I think it's better to agree first. Director Qu is about to take office. At this time, both the association and higher-level leaders will definitely support Director Qu. After all, the new When an official takes office, he must be allowed to secure this position. If he goes against Director Qu at this juncture, he will not only lose face to Director Qu, but also lose face to the association and even higher levels. The Field Management Center is a management organization, and they need When you achieve results, you also need their convenience. It is best if you can maintain the relationship. These two endorsements are still within the acceptable range for us, so let’s just consider it as protection money!"
"But what if his appetite is more than that? Now he wants two endorsements, but what if he pushes the envelope and wants more tomorrow?" Zhuge Wenbo asked immediately.
He Yiming replied without hesitation: "I hope his appetite won't be so big, otherwise, we will have no choice but to break up with him!"
