Li Tianming did not sit in the hotel room waiting for the leader to appear as usual. Rather, sitting swaggering on the sofa at the front desk, waiting for the arrival of the "guests".
As soon as the appointed time arrived, a familiar figure appeared at the door—not the young man who looked like a student last time, but the middle-aged man with a bit of scholarly demeanor.
Li Tianming looked at the watch in his hand, it was not bad, this person is very precise in his time.
Seeing Li Tianming sitting in the lobby, the middle-aged man was taken aback for a while, and then proceeded upstairs calmly.
Li Tianming stood up and followed silently.
In the corridor on the third floor, Li Tianming quickened his pace to pass him. When he reached the end of the corridor, Li Tianming opened a door next to him with the key in his hand and entered the room without looking back.
The middle-aged man followed in tacitly.
As soon as he entered the door, the middle-aged man was stunned as soon as he looked up.
The entire suite is full of dazzling arrays, filled with various calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, painted pottery, steles... It looks like a small antique collection room.
Seeing the surprised look of the middle-aged man, Li Tianming knew that his goal had been achieved.
The middle-aged man walked in slowly, wandering around slowly before the house full of antique books. However, the excitement and joy Li Tianming expected did not appear on his face, instead a feeling of anxiety.
Li Tianming put away the smile on his face, feeling a little nervous in his heart.
"These goods... are you dissatisfied?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, frowned and said to Li Tianming:
"No, the goods are all good. But... Brother Song family, we also know about it, you, you did a little too much!"
The middle-aged man’s tone was a bit stern, and Li Tianming couldn’t help but become nervous: “I, I know that I didn’t talk to the leader... You say hello, it’s mine. But now it’s getting harder and harder to buy goods on my side, and Luoyang market again So big... I also want to get more goods..."
The middle-aged man shook his head: "You are too ostentatious!"
"The reason why the leader chooses you is because you are low-key and cautious in doing things. But the Song family's thing, you did too high-key. I am afraid that everyone knows how to make it so big all at once."
Li Tianming's heart felt cold. This time he really messed up. He took too much stride, and he got an egg. Thinking of the leading means, not only my heart is tight.
"Yes, are there too many goods, then, then I will return them."
The middle-aged man shook his head: "It's not a lot of things, no matter how much goods we can eat... It's just that the leader doesn't want anyone to know the connection between us, let alone blatantly monopolize the market and show off!"
"Then, what should I do now?"
Seeing Li Tianming's sincere and fearful look, the middle-aged man's brows eased and his tone slowed:
"Well, you go back first. After you go back, you have to deal with the relationship with the group of tomb robbers and antique dealers in Luoyang. If you can cooperate, you can cooperate. If you are unwilling to cooperate, you should not force it."
Li Tianming heard that there was a turning point in his words, and his heart relaxed: "Yes, don't worry, now they are all obedient to me-completely voluntary cooperation, I will not force them. Whether to cooperate in the future depends entirely on their own meaning."
Since Li Ergou's incident last time, Li Tianming has been very respectful to this middle-aged man.
From the middle-aged man's tone, Li Tianming realized that he was different from the other "connectors" of the dragon head, and he could take the place of the dragon head to give orders. It may be a very important person around the leader.
Li Tianming noticed that a middle-aged man had a very obvious mole on the eyebrows. He had studied photo books and knew that there were moles in Yintang. The male lead is expensive and the female lead is rich.
The middle-aged man nodded: "Well, then you go back first, don't have any more troubles, remember."
Li Tianming said: "Yes, these things, do you want me to send someone to help you..."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "You put your key here, I will send someone to deal with it."
"Also, some of your subordinates are now a bit sassy. I heard that they have attracted the attention of the relevant departments. Go back and persuade them to stay back."
Li Tianming's little chicken pecks rice and generally nodded: "Yes, yes, I must pay attention when I go back."
After thinking about it, he said, "I have been in contact with Xiongtai twice, but I don't know your name."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Yangming. I am ashamed and ashamed to give me such a name because my father admires Mr. Wang Yangming's ethics."
The middle-aged man’s self-introduction made Li Tianming feel very close, and his nervous mood relaxed a lot than before, and finally he mustered up the courage to say his purpose:
"Mr. Wang, this, this batch of goods, many of them are from Luoyang brokers, the deposit has not been paid. I promised to calculate according to their previous transaction with the Song brothers, I don't know..."
Wang Yangming nodded and said, "That's natural, that's natural. Doing business emphasizes credibility. What happened before and what will happen in the future. Everyone should follow the old rules-funds, I will discuss with the leader."
Li Tianming was overjoyed and thanked Wang Yangming again and again, turned around and bowed his head and walked out.
…
A few days later, the emperor took the six, Dixiang Pavilion.
After leaving the last wave of guests, Li Tianming lay on the couch with his eyes closed and rested.
Don't tell me, Song Biao would really enjoy it. He cleaned up this private room like the emperor's royal study room. It was suitable for both work and recuperation, and he was a little bit reluctant to leave.
Over the past few days, Li Tianming has received wave after wave of Luoyang "businessmen", not only merchants and tomb robber families from Luoyang and Beiman, but also businessmen from Zhengzhou and Kaifeng.
It is conceivable how huge the network and interest chain of the Song family brothers are. Li Tianming thought that there was so much money to make, and his ambition couldn't help being moved around.
Wang Yangming took this batch of goods, indicating that they also have demand.
Wang Yangming only said that he would allow me to develop peacefully, but he did not say that he would not let me expand. Li Tianming secretly made sense in his heart. What can we do to satisfy the leader while maximizing our own interests
Suddenly remembered something, and asked Jin Jin next to him: "Which guests have we received these days?"
Kaneko flipped through the roster at hand, "The leaders of the Ma and Wei families have been here, and the other two families have also sent people to cooperate with us. The eight major merchants in Luoyang have all been here. There are also Zhengzhou and Kaifeng..."
Li Tianming nodded and interrupted him: "Spread the word out, no more pick-ups these days!"
Kaneko looked at him wonderingly. In the past few days, the guests who came to the door were in an endless stream. Not only did they come to discuss business, but also sent a lot of "sincerity". This time, thanking the guests behind closed doors, the loss was not small.
Li Tianming seemed to see through the question in his heart: "Our stomachs are so big that we can't let go of eating too much at once. Besides, we have to raise our identities. It's not that people can see it if they want to see it."
Li Tianming had enough rest, and sat up and said: "Clean up here, we should also go. Go and say hello to the boss and let him settle the bill."
Scar Jin's eyes widened again: "Go? It's so good here, the location is prosperous, downstairs to eat, drink and go shopping... The street is also convenient... The boss said, as long as we want, this place can be packaged all year round."
Li Tianming patted the couch underneath him: "The place is a good place, but unfortunately it is full of the emperor's atmosphere, which can't be suppressed by ordinary people. The Song family brothers can't suppress this wealthy atmosphere, it will fall in no time, I Li Tianming knows himself well, this is not where I stay, hehe."
Scar Jin was wondering why Boss Li suddenly became so humble in just a few days.
But the boss is the boss after all, and his orders are orders.
When I went out, I met Yinzi and came back.
Yinzi has been very busy these days, so he didn't say a few words to his brother.
Li Tianming sent him to step around in Luoyang City and the suburbs, choosing a few suitable places to stay and hide. Li Tianming felt that what Wang Yangming said was right. To do this, he still has to be a high-profile man and act low-key.
After listening to the information reported by Yinzi, Li Tianming was very satisfied. He decided on a few places, whether to rent or buy. He hasn't made up his mind yet.
The funds on hand are not yet in place, and he has to wait for news from the leader.
Now all of his expenses have been relying on the "filial piety" of Boss Ge and other antique dealers, but that won't last long.
…
A few days later, the once well-known Li Jiajun and Li Jiajun suddenly disappeared from Luoyang City. The four major antique markets that were once in a hurry have resumed the bustling and peaceful scenes of the past.
It's just that under the calm water, undercurrents are surging. The former dominance of the family has been disrupted. The major forces have been redistributed. The Song family brothers have disappeared. In the tomb robber world and the antique circle, there is one more sleek and exquisite person. The mysterious "Uncle Li" who has a source of both sides.
Li Tianming lay in a remote, simple-looking, but exquisitely furnished courtyard. This is one of several places that Yinzi helped him choose.
Looking at the figure busy moving goods and arranging furniture in the yard, Li Tianming, who was lying on the armchair, opened his eyes slightly, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air comfortably.
Under the serene surface, his heart was surging. Although the current business scale has doubled and there are more and more disciples, Uncle Li is not happy.
He always felt that there was a big hand pinching his neck in the dark, and he didn't know when this hand would tighten. Living in such fear every day, Uncle Li sometimes couldn't sleep anxiously.
