Not everyone in Dongshi knows Gong Muyun's identity, but Xu Zhihai recognizes him!
Although the Anqin Society is a well-known underworld, the Anqin Group on the surface is a serious international consortium. The head of such a consortium is highly influenced by the government no matter which city he goes to, let alone the East. This is a small town that has just begun to develop. shu mark 玷癞癹
Three days ago, Vice Mayor Liu Jingquan hosted a banquet for Gong Muyun in the name of the municipal government. Xu Zhihai was just the director of the Secretariat and did not attend, but he glanced at Gong Muyun and remembered his appearance.
Now, seeing Gong Muyun actually come to Fu Ruixiang, Xu Zhihai was shocked and confused. Having been in the officialdom for a long time, he naturally knows how to watch people's words. At this moment, Gong Muyun came over and looked at Xia Shao with a teasing tone and a familiar attitude.
"It's so lively." Gong Muyun smiled casually, but didn't even look at Mrs. Wu who was dragged aside. She just glanced at the crowd watching around her.
"I think you don't like liveliness by your character." Xia Shao also looked indifferent.
"It depends on who's lively." Gong Muyun said with a smile.
The two of them were talking to each other at Fu Ruixiang's door, and anyone with bad eyes could tell that they knew each other.
At this time, Mrs. Wu was carried to the side and she was gradually breathing again. Half of her face was swollen to the point of being uncanny, her body was trembling, and she didn't know whether she was angry or frightened, but her eyes were staring at Xu Tianyin in horror. This man has an expression like the Lord of Hell, he, he dares to hit himself
This is in broad daylight!
Director Xu is still there!
Director Xu was not in the mood to take care of her at this time. He was looking at Xia Shao in shock.
How did she meet the chairman of Anqin Group? With her family background, she shouldn't recognize someone with such an identity! Moreover, the demeanor and manner in which she spoke at this moment did not look like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old at all. Even an adult would inevitably feel embarrassed when facing a person of Gong Muyun's status. Just like himself at this moment, he was completely I don’t know whether I should go up and say hello to him. Xia Shao's expression turned out to be calm, as if the person standing in front of him was an ordinary person.
This made Xu Zhihai dare not speak casually. He had to first find out what the relationship between Gong Muyun and Xia Shao was like. If nothing else, it was because of his observation and caution that he got to where he is today.
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows lightly, "In that case, please continue reading. However, don't look too long. There are so many people around, which will delay the store's business. It will be okay for a while, but after a long time, you will lose money again." ."
Gong Muyun laughed softly after hearing this, but Xia Shao turned to look at Xu Tianyin. The ferocity in his eyes was gone at this moment, but his lips were still pressed tightly together, with a dangerous aura half blocking her in front of her.
"Senior brother, let's go in and drink tea. It's a pity that the fine tea leaves are cold." Xia Shao smiled softly and patted the man's clenched fist to comfort him, "Tell me, do you want to spread some in the store later?" Salt? To remove bad luck."
Feeling her comfort, the man shuddered slightly and lowered his eyes. But I saw the girl's eyes were soft and her smile was quiet and elegant, like a refreshing wind blowing under the grape trellis in the hot summer. Wherever the wind passed by, the restlessness was naturally smoothed away.
Xu Tianyin obviously relaxed, and he felt that the girl's smiling eyes seemed to be attracting him. She walked into the store, and he followed her. However, Jian Mei frowned slightly, and his tone was not very good, "What kind of salt is this? The person looking for bad luck is right at the door, just throw him out!"
"Hey, how can that happen? Didn't you see an official at the door? He committed a crime in broad daylight, it is of a serious nature!"
"What kind of official is the director!"
"Although a sparrow is small, it still has all five internal organs. In the eyes of us ordinary people, isn't the director a high official?"
"snort!"
"Oh! It's a small place, please be patient."
As the two walked inside, the sound spread to the door. The girl's gait was leisurely, she spoke slowly, and her voice was full of laughter. The man's back was lonely and his voice was cold and solemn. The two of them talked to each other, and they seemed to be singing in harmony.
At the door, Chen Manguan was almost sweating profusely. He stared at Xia Shao's back as he entered the tea room, and then looked at Gong Muyun who was left hanging at the door. He looked like he wanted to cry no matter how he looked at his face.
Miss Xia just entered the store? This, this... the head of the Anniversary Reunion is still at the door! Did she really leave him alone
Chen Manguan forced out an unnatural smile and stepped forward to apologize, "Mr. Gong, I'm really sorry, Miss Xia is joking with you! You, please come in quickly!"
His request naturally resolved Gong Muyun's embarrassment.
However, Gong Muyun shook his head and chuckled. He did not feel dissatisfied or embarrassed. There seemed to be a sparkle in his eyes with a gentle smile and a carefree attitude. This is quite similar to Xia Shao's leisurely and elegant temperament.
"It's okay. I'm just here to discuss metaphysics and Yili with Miss Xia. People who usually like to study the Yi Jing rarely meet someone with real talent and practical knowledge. If you don't ask for advice, you will really waste this fate." He nodded and chuckled, It sounded like he was talking to Chen Manguan, but Xu Zhihai's expression changed when he heard it!
After all, he is somewhat knowledgeable, so he naturally knows the status of "The Book of Changes" in Chinese culture. Although the country cracks down on feudal superstition, no one has ever dared to stand up and say that "The Book of Changes" is feudal superstition. The so-called feudal superstition only refers to those who use ghosts and gods to defraud money. The "Book of Changes" itself occupies an important position in Chinese studies.
They were clearly telling him that Xia Shao was a master of metaphysics and should not be confused with a superstitious magician!
Xu Zhihai's face turned red and white.
Gong Muyun walked into the store and passed by Xu Zhihai. Naturally, he did not say hello. Xu Zhihai is standing at the door now, neither leaving nor staying. He is the most embarrassed person!
The protagonists all entered the store, leaving Xu Zhihai and Mrs. Wu at the door. The crowd of onlookers still refused to disperse. Only then did the staff from the Anniversary Association step forward and disperse the people, and then they started to look like doorkeepers. Standing at the door of Fu Ruixiang.
Mrs. Wu was left aside, and no one paid any attention to her. She hurriedly stayed away from these fierce men, stared at Xu Zhihai, limped over, covering her swollen cheeks, "Director Xu, you , You should take care of it! I was beaten in broad daylight, and you government workers just pretended that you didn’t see it?”
Mrs. Wu's tone was bad, but her voice was not loud. Firstly, she did not dare to speak loudly. Secondly, her chest was still sore at the moment, she was struggling to breathe, and she couldn't get angry even if she wanted to.
Xu Zhihai just felt that today was extremely unlucky, and it was all the fault of this woman who had nothing to do. But he couldn't keep his face down, so he had to speak in an official tone again, "Mrs. Wu, your matter is under the control of the public security. I am not in the position, and I can't make this policy. You are the person involved. You can choose to call the police and apply for an injury assessment. ."
Call the police? Does calling the police help? Her husband had just been arrested by the police, and she was in trouble again. Who would be involved in the relationship
It’s all Director Xu’s fault! It’s okay to use official talk! Otherwise, would she misunderstand the little girl named Xia
The two people complained to each other, but Xia Shao, Xu Tianyin and Gong Muyun walked out within a short while.
When Mrs. Wu saw Xu Tianyin, she ran away like a wounded and frightened rabbit. The people from the family reunion drove the black Lincoln over and Gong Muyun got in the car. Xu Tianyin also drove the car over, got out of the car, opened the door, and motioned for Xia Shao to get in the car.
Only then did Xu Zhihai suddenly realize that Xu Tianyin was driving a special Hongqi car! The government staff naturally knew the meaning of the red flag car. He couldn't help but look at Xu Tianyin in shock, and his heart skipped a beat when he thought of his words, "What kind of official is the director?"
Could it be that this person... has some background
In the midst of surprise and doubt, Xia Shao stopped beside him.
"Director Xu." Her posture was casual, and although there was a smile on her lips, the smile in her eyes was slightly cold. I remember that she used to call Xu Zhihai Uncle Xu during New Years and holidays when the two families were walking around. Since the two families stopped interacting with each other, she no longer wanted to call him uncle.
Xu Zhihai noticed the change in the title and felt a little chilled, but seeing her demeanor, he couldn't help but say, "Miss Xia..."
As soon as this title was spoken, Xu Zhihai himself was stunned. This girl, who is the same age as her own daughter, has not only watched her grow up, but at least the two families who used to celebrate New Years and holidays still communicate with each other. Speaking of which, Xia Shao was truly a junior in front of him. Now he unconsciously calls her "Miss Xia"
How did she get such magnanimity at such a young age? After the two families stopped interacting with each other, what happened to Lao Xia's family? How could an ordinary family have a master of metaphysics? How credible is this
"What Director Xu said just now is quite right." Xia Shao smiled lightly, but the meaning was profound. "Parents work hard to bring up their children. There are some things that children should not do. Otherwise, You will definitely bring trouble to your parents and bring disgrace on their faces. If you tell me this, I will return it to you. I hope you will teach your daughter more of this truth when you go back."
Xu Zhihai was stunned and before he asked what was going on, Xia Shao was too lazy to explain. She got into Xu Tianyin's car and the two cars drove away from the door of Fu Ruixiang.
The two cars did not go to Shili Village, but went to Yitian Club first. On the surface, Gong Muyun invited Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin into the club. In fact, the three of them came out of a hidden garage behind the club, got into an inconspicuous Santana car, and then drove to Shili Village.
Also accompanying him were Mr. Qi and the left and right guardians of Anqinhui, Hao Zhan and Hua Sheng.
Arriving at the gate of the house halfway up the mountain in Shili Village, the two cars stopped. Mr. Qi got out of the car. When he saw Xia Shao, he laughed and said: "Miss Xia, you are hiding deep enough! The direct disciple of the dignified Xuanmen master , you actually went to the funeral in person to ask for an explanation for your father, you are really, really... If you had said it earlier, wouldn't we have had no need to fight? This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and one family does not know the other!"
Xia Shao smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, you should call me girl. I don't dare to call you Miss Xia."
"What do you dare to do? Regardless of age or seniority in the world, your seniority is high enough!"
Mr. Qi's words are not a compliment. People in the world do take seniority very seriously.
Xuanmen still inherits the rules of the older generation. Although there are not many disciples in the sect, they attach great importance to seniority. Take the three rules and six precepts of Taoism as an example: firstly, one is not allowed to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, and secondly, one is not allowed to despise the predecessors. These two items are ranked first, which shows the importance attached to seniority.
There are seven characters in Xuanmen's hierarchy - Xuan, Zong, Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi and Xin.
Only the head is the Xuan generation, the four elders are the Zong generation, the disciples accepted by the elders are the Ren generation, and if the disciples accept more disciples, they are the Yi generation. And so on.
Xia Shao was a direct disciple of Uncle Tang Zong, the head of Xuanmen. He was of a very high seniority and was in the same generation as the elders.
In terms of the seniority of today's gangsters, Tang Zongbo was of the same generation as the old men of the Anqinhui and the Triad Society, while Xia Shao was of the same generation as Gong Muyun. Although Mr. Qi is over fifty years old and can be considered a figure in the martial arts world, he does not dare to compare with big men like Tang Zongbo in terms of seniority and influence. In front of Xia Shao, he is naturally not considered senior.
"In private, you'd better call me by my name. It sounds really uncomfortable." Xia Shao said this sincerely. In terms of age, the other party was indeed an elder, and respect was deserved.
Mr. Qi smiled and waved his hands. Obviously he would not really call her that, but he looked like he loved Xia Shao very much.
Today I came to see Tang Zongbo. Xia Shao was just an introduction. Gong Muyun had already found out that Tang Zongbo lived here, but as a junior, it was a bit inappropriate for him to visit rashly, so he arrived at Fu Ruixiang and asked Xia Shao to introduce him. And Tang Zongbo finally agreed to see him.
The group of people entered the courtyard and took a quick look. Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin took Gong Muyun into the study, while Qi Lao, Hao Zhan and Hua Sheng were waiting outside.
Gong Muyun also met Tang Zongbo when he was young. After being separated for many years, the two met each other and were filled with emotion. Tang Zongbo said hello three times and sighed: "Mu Yun has grown up too! We old guys are indeed old."
"Uncle Tang." Gong Muyun respectfully gave Tang Zongbo a junior salute, but his eyes fell on his legs in a wheelchair. Back then, if Mr. Gong hadn't invited Tang Zongbo to go, he wouldn't have fought with Yu Jiuzhi, let alone become so disabled.
Tang Zongbo saw Gong Muyun's thoughts, waved his hand and said: "It's not your father's fault. He has the intention to harm me, and he will do it no matter what."
The two soon started talking about what happened back then. As soon as Xia Shao saw him, he got up and said goodbye and went home. After all, today is not the weekend. She has been delayed in the store for a while, and now she is back on the mountain. If she doesn't go home, her parents should be worried.
Because she was in a hurry, Xia Shao did not refuse Xu Tianyin's request to send her home. The old community where her family lives, the house allocated in her father's factory, is now old, not to mention there is no security guard or the like. It's not that Xia Shao never thought about changing her family's house, but her family never knew about her business. Now that she is about to take the high school entrance examination, it is not appropriate to reveal this now. Otherwise, her parents will inevitably worry about her grades. If her relatives know about it, they will be chatty. Her father is still recovering from his leg injury these days, so she can't let her parents worry about her anymore.
She should confess these things to her parents after she finishes the exam.
To avoid letting the neighbors see her getting out of a strange man's car, Xia Shao specially asked Xu Tianyin to park the car on the roadside some distance away from the community.
As soon as the car stopped, Xu Tianyin leaned over. Xia Shao was really startled, but she saw Xu Tianyin's eyes fell on her seat belt, and he reached over to help her untie it himself. When he did these things, his eyes were extremely serious, not like the gentlemanly demeanor that some men deliberately show in order to win the favor of women. His actions were natural and serious, and he didn't send her off the car. He seemed to know that she wanted to avoid people, and he just sat in the driver's seat and watched her.
The light in the car was dim, and the man's stern outline was a bit hazy. The two of them were in the claustrophobic car, and there seemed to be a dim light in his deep pupils that focused on her.
Xia Shao slowly came closer to his fixed gaze, with a smile in her eyes, and asked: "Senior brother, would you like a farewell kiss?"
Xu Tianyin looked at her and saw the teasing light in the girl's eyes. She approached him and smiled maliciously, obviously wanting to watch his show. Xu Tianyin couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he thought that she always seemed to like teasing him since they met each other.
"Are you sure?" Before he finished speaking, someone took action!
His moves were as fast as lightning, and his black figure was like a cheetah in the narrow carriage. Xia Shao was already close to him, but when he realized something was wrong, he grabbed her with his big hand while retreating quickly, grabbed her by the waist, and moved towards her with his fingertips. When Xia Shao's waist was a little bit weak, Xu Tianyin had already turned over and pressed her on the seat. His strong long legs restrained her knees. He restrained her waist with one hand and her legs with the other. With only one wrist, a black cloud looked down at her.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up in a slight but dangerous arc, and there was a smile in his eyes, "If you want to kiss me, I don't mind."
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised by his sudden counterattack, but she was not a vegetarian either. Immediately, a dark energy shook her waist and wrist, and one hand escaped from Xu Tianyin's palm and quickly touched his inner thigh! Xu Tianyin got out of the way. He didn't let go of his hands controlling her waist, but gave way to her legs. As soon as Xia Shao's legs were free, her toes cunningly hooked at the side of Xu Tianyin's feet!
The two of them were playing ping-pong-pong in the car, bouncing, sweeping, hanging, collapsing, kicking, and tapping. It was hard to imagine how the two of them were fighting in such a narrow space. The more they fought, the more they looked at each other. Bright, with a smile on her lips and admiration in her eyes.
This reminded the two of the fight they had in the alley not long ago. They looked at each other and moved faster!
Suddenly, Xia Shao frowned, bowed her waist, and exclaimed, "Ah!"
Xu Tianyin was stunned for a moment, and it was during this moment that the car door clicked open, and Xia Shaoyin leaned outwards and rolled out quickly!
When Xu Tianyin raised his head in the car, Xia Shao was already standing outside the car, straightening his clothes, smiling and clasping his fists at him, with provocative eyes, which clearly meant - you have fallen into a trap!
She waved to him, turned around and walked away leisurely. Until her figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley, Xu Tianyin still did not look back. He sat silently in the car until it got dark and the street lights on the distant road came on, then he started the car and left.
After that day, Xia Shao became busy.
The cause was related to Wu Yuhe’s arrest. He was approved for arrest on charges of molesting an underage girl, gathering in a crowd to engage in promiscuity, and taking drugs. It was like a gust of wind in the upper-class circles of Dongcheng. Many people who had been invited by him to participate in these dirty things were hiding. stand up. The parents of the girl he molested naturally demanded huge compensation. The amount of compensation was nothing to Wu Yuhe's net worth. But Wu Yuhe's imprisonment is a certainty. In the end, the most regrettable thing was his antique shop.
If you are not an expert in the antique business, you will not be able to run it. Wu Yuhe's wife didn't understand this, and his only son was useless. Although his relatives were eyeing their family with eager eyes, no one understood this business.
After Xia Shao learned about this, he came up with the idea of acquiring Wu Yuhe's antique shop.
After Chen Manguan learned of her idea, he was in trouble, "I calculated our funds and found that we have made a lot these days. It is just enough to acquire Boss Wu's antique shop. But Fu Ruixiang is not the only antique shop in Dongshi. We are not the only ones in Boss Wu’s antique shop. I heard that there are also antique dealers in the province who are eyeing this place. I’m afraid, not to mention the fierce competition, I’m afraid that in the end, even if the price we give is right, Mrs. Wu won’t You must agree to our acquisition."
Last time in the store, Xia Shao and Mrs. Wu had a very unpleasant quarrel. Although she didn't dare to come back after that, she might have held a grudge.
Xia Shao laughed after hearing this, "Uncle Chen, you have become sincere. Since when did the other party have to agree with the acquisition? We are not a hostile acquisition, and she deserves a lot of points." . If she has a grudge against us and doesn't want us to take it away, why don't we just let her know about it?"
"What does Miss Xia mean?"
"I asked you to pay attention to the auction company before. Didn't you say that you have already noticed the suitable manager and auctioneer?"
Chen Manguan suddenly realized, with a look of surprise on his face, "Ms. Xia means that we are in the name of the auction company?"
Xia Shao nodded, "The manager Sun you brought to the store last time seemed good to me. Although his appearance was a bit unlucky in his early years, it was just that his luck had not yet arrived. I think he has a long middle and a nose that is close to his mouth. "Kuan" is a down-to-earth and hard-working type. It is a business-like appearance and is better at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Moreover, if you sit upright and walk upright, you will be blessed with good fortune and wealth, and will be stable and healthy for the rest of your life. This person can be used."
After hearing this, Chen Manguan couldn't bear to laugh and said: "Miss Xia, I, Old Chen, finally understand. I dare to follow you. I even skip the employee interview. Just look at your face and you will know that you are not reliable."
"I'm just using him as a reference. In fact, what I value most is his ability as a manager. If he doesn't have this ability, no matter how suitable his appearance is, it will be useless if we don't need him."
Professional managers, like auction companies, were not as common in China in 1997. Manager Sun, named Sun Changde, immigrated to the United States with his parents when he was young, but lived a life of poverty in the United States. He worked hard at a young age and became a professional manager at the age of 27 or 28. However, Chinese people would encounter some resistance when taking up jobs in the United States. Sun Changde also had a bloody heart, so he returned to China in anger.
However, there was still relatively little awareness of professional managers in China at this time. He encountered obstacles everywhere. In the end, even he himself did not expect that he would encounter opportunities in Dongshi, a city that had just begun to develop. He was very interested in Xia Shao's idea of setting up an auction company. After all, auction companies were not everywhere in the country. People who had such an idea were at least relatively advanced in consciousness. What surprised him was that the person who had such thoughts was actually a young girl studying.
But when Sun Changde learned that the real boss of Fu Ruixiang Antique Shop was actually this girl, he was excited! Having the courage to start a business at such a young age is rare even among young Americans with different educations! He felt as if he had a premonition of something, as if he understood what he was looking for after being depressed for so many years!
This is what he has been looking for, a miracle that he can create with his own hands! This miracle will eventually shock the world and become an empire!
Although the empire is still pitifully small now, he can clearly see that day!
Although Sun Changde was nearly twenty years older than Xia Shao, the two hit it off.
At the end of 1997, Huaxia Auction Company was established in Dongshi.
As soon as the company was established, Sun Changde set out to acquire Wu Yuhe's antique shop. At this time, three powerful antique shops in Dongshi had already contacted and negotiated with Mrs. Wu.
However, Mrs. Wu has a vengeful temperament. These people usually call their husbands brothers, but when something goes wrong, no one will see them. Now that their family is about to collapse, they want to buy the antiques her family has saved for many years at a low price to make huge profits? There are no doors!
Mrs. Wu refused to give in. The three antique shops tried hard to persuade her for two months, but there was still no result. At this time, a well-known antique dealer in the province found Mrs. Wu.
This antique dealer's name is Du Xing, and it is said that he has some underworld background. When he was young, I heard that this man was a desperate master who built his family fortune through extortion and threats. Later, he made a fortune by selling antiques.
After Du Xing came to Dongshi, no matter whether Mrs. Wu was soft or hard, he had been in Daoer for so many years and had a wide network of contacts. He directly hired a few gangsters to beat up the Wu family's son first. After a meal, a few more people came to Mrs. Wu's house every three days to harass and threaten her.
Mrs. Wu finally got scared when she saw her son being beaten. Just when she was considering giving in, Sun Changde found her.
When Sun Changde came, he directly brought two appraisers and a real estate appraiser, and offered very generous conditions. They will have specialized appraisers to appraise and evaluate the items in the antique shop. They can even appraise and arrange auctions for several properties of the Wu family that Mrs. Wu wants to sell.
Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up. She really wanted to sell some of the Wu family's idle properties. She was so anxious to deal with the antique shop and her family's real estate, so naturally she was on guard against Wu Yuhe's brothers. At first, she was surprised that an out-of-reach auction company found her, but after hearing the conditions offered by Sun Changde, she was really pleasantly surprised! The price at which the antique shop was acquired was almost the same, but this auction house could help me a lot with real estate and other aspects! Moreover, she also has some personal jewelry. Presumably this auction company can also take over to help evaluate and auction.
Mrs. Wu was moved and soon decided to transfer the antique shop to Sun Changde. She was not a fool. Naturally, she was afraid that Du Xing would cause trouble, so she decided to sell these things early and hide outside for a while before coming back.
The two secretly signed a contract to change hands, and Mrs. Wu ran away with her son the next day.
She ran away, but the news that the Wu family's antique shop was acquired spread like wind throughout the East Market!
Who did it
Who did it!
Just when everyone thought that this piece of fat would be swallowed by Duxing, the appearance of Huaxia Auction Company surprised everyone!
Auction company? Although this new company is not unfamiliar to the upper class circles of Dongshi City, it is definitely a new thing.
What does an auction company do when it acquires an antique store
When most people were surprised, some old foxes in the shopping mall figured out the connection, and suddenly slapped their foreheads and yelled "Ouch!"
Whose idea was this? At this summer’s auction, everyone saw the huge potential market for antique auctions. Most of these antiques come from individual collectors or are sent for auction by antique shops. Auction companies make money by charging a certain percentage of commission, which is quite a lot. It is said that the percentage charged for art auctions can be as high as ten to fifteen percent!
This is already a huge profit. However, what if the antiques at these auctions belong to the auction company itself
Doesn’t that mean that the profits from the bidding and auction are all yours? Huaxia Auction Company purchased Wu's Antique Shop at a low price. The antiques in it were all purchased at the lowest price. If these antiques collected at a low price are put up for auction at a high price, how high will the profit be
Who is this Sun Changde? What a clever calculation!
"Who is this Sun Changde!" Many people are asking about this, including Du Xing.
In the hotel's luxurious suite, the sound of broken wine bottles made several subordinates who followed Du Xing on this trip from Qingshi couldn't help but shiver.
"Find this man for me! I want to see who dares to steal my fat!" Du Xing, who had a beard and a fierce look on his face, said angrily.
Several of his men quickly responded and were about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Du Xing's eyes flashed, "Let me find out where this kid came from first, and then come back and tell me after you find out."
This Duxing was of average height, unattractive in appearance, even ugly and vicious, but he was also somewhat shrewd. Auction companies are a new thing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the development potential of this industry, but not many people want to open such a company. Why? Because auction companies compete for connections.
It’s no use just having auction items! Whether it can invite celebrities from all walks of life, whether it can hire experts with high-level vision, whether it can publicize it well, and whether it can successfully hold the auction, all of these depend on connections!
Therefore, Du Xing did not rush to find trouble with Sun Changde. He had to check his background first.
But what he didn't expect was that three days later, his subordinates brought back information that made him extremely angry.
Sun Changde was not a native of Dongshi. Although he was a returned overseas Chinese, he had no power and no connections in Dongshi—just such a person, robbed him of the fat he got
Du Xing laughed angrily, narrowed his eyes, and said with fierce eyes, "Okay! Okay! Since this kid dares to stretch his hand so long, reach out to me! I will chop off his hand!"
When he was young, Duxing was able to gain some fame in society with his fierce energy and met many people. He also knew many people in Dongshi, and the one with the best connections was a small leader named Li Xin at the Dongshi Hall of Anqin Hui.
That night, Du Xing enthusiastically invited Li Xin to a newly opened star hotel in Dongshi and asked for a VIP room. Both of them brought a few brothers with them, and a group of people sat around the table and started eating and drinking.
During the dinner, Li Xin listened to what Du Xing said and immediately laughed, "Is there such a person? I've heard about it in the past two days. Since ancient times, strong dragons have never suppressed local snakes. This person has no roots in Dongshi." Damn it, he dares to do this kind of fattening thing. Isn’t he a fool? However, I do admire his courage. "
"I just want to teach him that just having courage is not enough to survive in society! Brother Li, just say something, can you help my brother with this?"
"Look, if you call me Brother Li, can I help you?" Li Xin thought for a moment, and Sun Changde had no power anyway, so he nodded, "Okay. Tell me where he lives. , I will take someone over when I have time in the past two days and ask him to transfer the antiques he just got to you, what do you think?"
"Oh, that's great! Then thank you to Brother Li! Later, he asked Brother Li to hand him over to me, and I had to chop off one of his hands to vent my anger!" Du Xing hurriedly toasted Li Xin with a smile.
And while a group of people were changing glasses, a girl walked in in the hotel lobby. After she came in, she went directly to a VIP private room on the second floor.
As soon as they walked in, Chen Manguan and Sun Changde stood up quickly, "Is Miss Xia here?"
"Uncle Chen, Brother Sun, I didn't ask you to wait for a long time, right?" Xia Shao sat down while laughing.
It's winter vacation now. Since the successful acquisition of Wu Yuhe's antique shop, Fu Ruixiang has become the largest antique shop in the East City overnight. However, many people don't know that Huaxia Auction Company and Fu Ruixiang are the same company.
Chen Manguan and Sun Changde had long wanted to celebrate, but Xia Shao had never had time before. Now that they finally had a vacation, they booked a private room in the hotel and prepared to get together to celebrate.
Today is the day off, and Xia Shao hasn't returned to her master's place yet. She came tonight as an excuse to her parents to go out with her classmates.
Sun Changde is thirty-three years old this year, but he looks older than a man of his age. His facial features are ordinary, but he is very clean, with a capable and calm temperament. But as soon as he mentioned the successful acquisition of the antique shop a few months ago, he couldn't help but get excited and said with a smile: "I still remember the mood when I signed that contract. It was really... indescribable excitement! "
Xia Shao smiled and shook her head. She was about to joke that he looked several years younger when he got excited, but when his eyes fell on Sun Changde's face, his brows moved slightly.
"What's wrong, uh, is there something on my face?" Sun Changde noticed Xia Shao staring at his face, and couldn't help coughing in embarrassment, secretly blaming himself for getting carried away. In any case, the person sitting in front of him is his boss.
Unexpectedly, when Xia Shao opened her mouth, he was startled, "Brother Sun, you are in trouble. Your lips are blue and dark, and your mouth is rough. Someone wants to harm you."
"What? Harm me?" During this time, Sun Changde naturally knew that Xia Shao was a Feng Shui master. He had worked hard in the United States and knew that the Wall Street tycoons were very convinced of Feng Shui masters. When he knew that Xia Shao had this ability, I was very surprised. When I heard her say this, my face couldn't help but change, "Someone wants to harm me?"
Chen Manguan was also shocked. Today was supposed to be a celebration, but why was it like this at the beginning
"Brother Sun has been here not long ago and he hasn't offended anyone. Who wants to harm him?" Chen Manguan asked hurriedly.
"It's just because he's been here so long that it's easy to guess who wants to harm him." Xia Shao smiled faintly, but his eyes were a little cold, "It must be related to the acquisition of Wu Yuhe's antique shop."
As soon as this was said, Chen Manguan and Sun Changde both frowned, feeling that it made sense. Just when Chen Manguan wanted to ask her how to resolve it, Xia Shao had already taken out her mobile phone and dialed a number.
After two calls, Gao Yitao's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Miss Xia? It's so rare that you will come to me."
"Boss Gao is busy with official duties. How can I disturb you when you have nothing to do?" Xia Shao smiled and told Gao Yitao about the matter.
Gao Yitao was shocked on the other end of the phone. The Huaxia Auction Company that has caused a lot of trouble in Dongshi recently belongs to Xia Shao
"Ms. Xia, don't worry. Since the company belongs to Miss Xia, I guarantee that no one will dare to touch anyone in your company. I will send an order to the brothers to pay attention to whether anyone hires gang members to do harm to your employees. As soon as there is news, call us immediately inform you."
"Okay, thank you, Boss Gao." Xia Shao said and hung up the phone.
Only then did Chen Manguan and Sun Changde know who she was calling. Sun Changde was a little shocked that Xia Shao even knew people from the underworld, but Chen Manguan was much calmer - who is the underworld boss on the ground in Dongshi? Miss Xia, the head of the family reunion, has seen it all.
After calling Gao Yitao, the two felt relieved. Sun Changde's courage was tolerable. He suddenly stopped taking the fact that someone was trying to harm him seriously and called in a waiter to serve the food.
Three people couldn't eat much, but the food was sumptuous.
Just as the waiters came to serve the dishes one after another, Du Xing and Li Xin walked out with a large group of their brothers from the private room next door.
When passing by Xia Shao's private room, a waitress happened to come in with dishes. The waitress had a hot figure and a slender waist and hips. Du Xing was attracted to her at a glance, and her eyes followed her into the private room.
It doesn't matter if it floats in, it just lands on Sun Changde's face.
Although Du Xing had never met Sun Changde in person, he had seen the photos taken by his men. He had a deep memory of the man who robbed him of his oil. He recognized him at a glance and immediately shouted: "It's him!"
Chen Manguan and Sun Changde were about to toast Xia Shao, but when he shouted, the wine in their hands almost spilled!
Du Xing and Li Xin's dozen or so people all looked into the private room. Du Xing's face turned fierce at this moment, and he rushed in aggressively, "Good boy! I asked grandpa to meet you here!"
A group of about ten of them rushed in. Sun Changde got up from his seat, and Chen Manguan was the first to yell angrily: "What do you want to do!"
"What you do is none of your fucking business! Get out of here!" Du Xing grabbed the bottle of wine closest to him, raised his hand and threw it at Chen Manguan.
Fortunately, Chen Manguan hid quickly. The bottle of wine hit the wall behind him and exploded with a loud bang. The wine splashed with broken glass and shards of wine. Chen Manguan and Sun Changde were immediately scratched with several bloody marks on their necks and sides.
The two hurriedly backed away, but they both came to Xia Shao immediately, pulled her away from her seat, and blocked her behind them - in their eyes, she was not only the boss, but she was still young, and she was also a person. Girls.
But just as the two of them pulled Xia Shao up, Li Xin, who came in behind Du Xing, caught a glimpse of Xia Shao, and his face suddenly turned pale!
At this time, Xia Shao had also pushed aside Chen Manguan and Sun Changde, walked over and stood in front of them.
"Miss Xia!"
The two of them were startled and went to pull her, only to see her standing with her hands behind her back, looking calm and leisurely. This made the two of them a little surprised, and for a moment they looked at her and pulled her back.
On the opposite side, Du Xing and others were also intimidated by Xia Shao's magnanimity and were stunned.
But I heard her ask calmly: "If you want to make trouble for someone, you must first find a way out. I just want to ask, are you a member of the Peace Society?"
"A wedding reception?" Du Xing has never seen a girl so calm in such a scene. He didn't react for a moment and answered smoothly, "No! What's the matter?"
Opposite me, the girl nodded slowly, her expression still looking calm and leisurely, she even sighed.
"Oh! I thought I was going to beat up Boss Gao twice. Fortunately, you're not." Xia Shao nodded, raised his eyes with a smile, and said slowly, "Since you're not, then I can feel free to beat him up."
