Chapter 187 Next Time, Definitely Next Time

"Is this the end?"

Looking at the police car's retreating figure, Zhang Yang felt empty in his heart.

He rarely feels this way, why?

Yes, although he punished the bad guys, he had no substantial gains.

It's like completing a mission in the game but not receiving the mission reward.

Zhang Yang quickly returned to the table and picked up the leather portable safe containing Wang Qi's porcelain plate paintings.

Holding three million in his hand, he took a deep breath and felt instantly refreshed.

In one word, cool!

"Aren't you going to show me?" Chu Zhenmin sat on the chair and asked Zhang Yang with a smile.

He stared at this box for a long time. Flat safes like this are usually used to store calligraphy, paintings or jade.

Lao Chu was very curious about what was inside.

"Yes, show it to my fourth uncle quickly, so that he can learn a lot." Chu Ziqiang came up and said very happily.

"Then I'm going to make a fool of myself? It's just a porcelain painting."

Zhang Yang slowly opened the safe with a smile on his face.

After Chu Zhenmin saw what was inside clearly, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Wang Qi's?!"

"This is a genuine product. How much did you pay for it?"

Chu Zhenmin held this porcelain plate painting "Ma Gu Presents Birthday" in his hands and couldn't put it down.

"Three hundred thousand."

"It's not bad. It's well preserved. Although 300,000 yuan is not cheap, if you keep it in your hands, there will be room for appreciation in the future."

Chu Zhenmin glanced at Zhang Yang meaningfully, and suddenly changed the subject:

"It's just that spending market price to buy genuine products doesn't show your ability."

"Your master, Master Wang, missed at least tens of millions of treasures in Panjiayuan."

"Of course, you..."

"Tch!" Chu Ziqiang suddenly spoke up, interrupting his uncle's words: "It seems that Fourth Uncle, you have retired and fished every day, and you no longer have good news about fishing."

"Would you like to search online to see the recent changes in Wang Qi's works?"

"What changes?" Chu Zhenmin asked.

As an elder, of course he couldn't just do whatever Xiao Chu said.

I can only ask Zhang Yang for help.

"Actually, Wang Qi's works are restricted from exporting." Zhang Yang replied.

"Really?" Chu Zhenmin was surprised and happy, and then said, "Then I'm not rich?"

Zhang Yang/Xiao Chu:? ? ?

Seeing that the two juniors were confused, Lao Chu told them that he was very knowledgeable about the "Eight Friends of Zhushan".

The porcelain paintings of these people covered two walls of his home.

Among them is Wang Qi's four-strip landscape screen, which he purchased in 2002 for 150,000 yuan.

In 2018, there was a French buyer who offered five million to buy it.

At that time, he wanted to sell it, but because he had not retired yet, his status did not allow him to sell such exquisite cultural relics abroad.

The results remain in the present.

Four screens, a complete set!

Zhang Yang conservatively estimates that if it is speculated, it should not be a problem to sell it for 30 to 40 million.

After hearing what Lao Chu said, Chu Ziqiang grabbed the hand of his fourth uncle:

"Fourth uncle, aren't I decorating my new house? The living room just needs a set of landscape screens."

"That's not easy." Chu Zhenmin waved his hand: "Let's go look for it in Panjiayuan."

"I'll buy you Qi Baishi's "Twelve Screens of Landscape" directly."

"Is "Twelve Screens of Landscape" expensive?" Chu Ziqiang turned around and asked Zhang Yang.

"That one is not expensive. In 17 years, it only cost 930 million." After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he laughed out loud.

…

In the evening, Wang Guosheng, who was far away in his hometown in Linhai, called and asked Zhang Yang how he felt on his first day in Yanjing.

Zhang Yang told him: "Teacher, I feel that the water in Yanjing is a bit deep!"

Then he briefly talked about Che Lijun's apprentice.

Master Wang didn't show any surprise. The old man seemed to be very aware of these tricks.

He just told Zhang Yang:

"Eating people is soft-spoken, and taking advantage of others is short-handed. You should pay attention to yourself, and their despicable methods will be of no use."

"Teacher, don't worry. I'm just here to take a certificate test. I have no interaction with Teacher Che or the others."

What Zhang Yang didn't expect was that the day after he said these words, he would be slapped in the face by reality.

Among the judges for the expert review was Che Lijun.

During the process, Master Che did not make things difficult for Zhang Yang. He was even suspected of cheating. When asked about the knowledge of bronze appraisal, the questions he asked were based on common sense.

Zhang Yang had already prepared for it, so he could naturally answer it.

But after the assessment, what was supposed to come came.

In the lounge, Master Che brought a bottle of mineral water to Zhang Yang and sat down opposite him.

"Xiao Zhang, I shouldn't have offended you in any way, right?"

"No." Zhang Yang replied with a smile: "Teacher Che, you have always been a role model for me to learn from."

"No, please don't say that." Che Lijun waved his hands quickly: "Xiao Tian is a fool, and he is the one to blame for what happened to him."

"But actually you can discuss it with me. I think he would be happy to offer you 1.8 million to let him go."

Only 1.8 million?

Zhang Yang felt a little fluctuation in his heart.

This Grandpa Tian must be too poor. He is simply a shame in the leek harvesting world.

Master Qiu of the National Treasure Gang earns more than him.

"I didn't know beforehand. Next time, next time."

Zhang Yang decided to keep his dignity on the surface, after all, Che Lijun was one of the judges.

It directly determines whether he can be "entered into the warehouse", and indirectly determines whether Xiaochu's folk archaeological team can get a job.

"Next time?"

Che Lijun thought about it. He only has one apprentice. Could it be that Xiaotian has been sentenced for a short time?

This Zhang Yang actually intends to grab one person and pull him out. He is really not a human being!

"Don't worry about next time."

"I came to talk to you about cooperation this time."

"I heard that you organized a treasure appraisal conference?"

Che Lijun told Zhang Yang about the cooperation he mentioned.

In fact, it was just a few people in their circle who lacked channels for exposure.

They wanted to use the platform of Zhang Yang's voluntary treasure appraisal conference to reappear in the public eye.

Short videos are sinking platforms, and experts like Che Lijun want to make money, just to make ordinary people and laymen feel that they are masters in the industry.

In this way, they can make a lot of money just from paid appraisal orders.

Not to mention that after becoming famous, they can make money on other programs.

"We have all been on CCTV and local TV stations, have a certain mass base, and are familiar with the offline treasure appraisal environment. It is a perfect match for your program."

"Who are the specific teachers?" Zhang Yang asked.

Hearing the names mentioned by Che Lijun, he exclaimed, "Wow!"

They are all acquaintances.

The certificates for the fakes sent by the Cheng family at that time were basically issued by these people.

They are all the same as Master Che, who have no bottom line for money.

If this is absorbed into the appraisal conference, the program will basically be stinky.

But a direct refusal requires a reason. Che Lijun is not a small follower like his apprentice, and needs to be decent.

Zhang Yang thought about it and had an idea:

"Brother, the next treasure appraisal conference will be held in Yangcheng, and the experts have been pre-selected by the people of the Yangcheng Museum."

"It's okay, we can go to the audition stage to help."

"Instead of this, why not hold one in Yanjing?"

Zhang Yang took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and wrote three lines of words.

"Che Lijun, treasure appraiser;"

"Chu Zhenmin, former director of the Cultural Relics Bureau;"

"Shenghai Yongxing Auction Company."

At the same time, he thought to himself:

"It is better to give such an important task of cleaning up the antique circle in Yanjing to someone capable."

"I just need to hide behind the big guy and collect money."

Zhang Yang drew two plus signs between the three lines of words, and at the end, drew an equal sign.

"Teacher Che, if you add up these three items, can you make money without doing anything?"

"Absolutely, you get seven and I get three." Che Lijun answered excitedly.

He took Zhang Yang's pen and wrote the word "money" after the equal sign.

After he left, Zhang Yang smiled and added the word "prison" at the end.
