Chapter 188: Deter the Scoundrels

Che Lijun was very anxious, and he came to Zhang Yang again the next afternoon.

The old man, who was almost fifty years old, was like an anxious king.

Zhang Yang had no choice but to put down the roast duck in his hand and call Yongxing Auction Company in front of Teacher Che.

The person who answered the phone was Ding Qiang.

After the Linhai auction, auctioneer Ding's value has skyrocketed to 10,000 per auction.

Because of this, he was very grateful to Zhang Yang and shared Master Zhang's live broadcast room in his circle of friends every day.

This time Zhang Yang asked him to do a small favor, and he agreed without hesitation.

According to the prior agreement, after Zhang Yang explained his intention, Ding Qiang gave the phone to the sensible business manager.

"There is no problem with the qualifications for holding an event in Yanjing."

The business manager read directly from the script on the table:

"But the water in Yanjing is very deep, and those who understand this will understand it."

"Unless Director Zhang can contact the experts of the National Museum, otherwise, I am pessimistic about the prospects of this kind of event."

"I hope you will consider it carefully."

"Why does this person talk like a robot?" Che Lijun whispered in Zhang Yang's ear.

"I heard that their company works 996 every day, and it's good enough that they still have the energy to talk." Zhang Yang explained in a low voice.

Then he asked the person on the other end of the phone loudly:

"Manager Pan, you said you want experts from the National Museum, but I don't have the resources in this area."

"But if I can invite Mr. Che Lijun, a famous bronze identification expert in my country, do you think it's okay?"

The business manager on the other end of the phone quickly took over the conversation:

"If it's Mr. Che, it's okay~"

"Is it done?!"

Zhang Yang pretended to be surprised, glanced at Che Lijun beside him, and quietly gave a thumbs up.

"It has to be you, my senior brother!"

"Keep low, keep low."

Che Lijun pressed his hand, his tone a little arrogant.

"Now, do you have any questions?" Zhang Yang continued to ask the other end of the phone.

"Another question, Director Zhang. In what capacity will Mr. Che attend this auction?"

"Capability? Treasure appraiser!" Zhang Yang answered as a matter of course.

"Not enough, it's still a little short." The manager suggested: "It would be best if Mr. Che could join the organizer's team, so that it would be convenient for us to do publicity."

This suggestion made Che Lijun very happy.

If he was just a treasure appraiser, he would at most charge a symbolic labor fee, or even not charge a penny, because his original intention was to show his face on the show.

But if he appeared as a team member and used his portrait for publicity, he could ask for a share of the profits.

No one would complain about too much money.

Che Lijun looked at Zhang Yang expectantly.

Zhang Yang was very skilled at keeping people on edge.

He told Manager Pan on the other end of the phone that he needed to think about it.

"Xiao Zhang, you are so hesitant, are you not confident in me?" Che Lijun asked.

This was actually a secret question about Zhang Yang's conditions.

"No, on the contrary."

Zhang Yang shook his head:

"I hesitated because I saw great commercial value in you, Teacher Che."

He deliberately emphasized the word commercial value.

"Why?" Che Lijun asked curiously.

"Teacher Che, think about it, there are almost no experts like you in the current media and live broadcast platforms, who have both professional background and industry status, and also have a certain national popularity."

"Those who are older than you are not younger than you; those who are younger than you are not older than you."

"It's the only one in the country!"

"So I think this voluntary treasure appraisal activity is a good opportunity..."

Seeing that Che Lijun was very interested, Zhang Yang explained his package plan in detail.

It took half an hour to finally convince Teacher Che that he was the top expert in "antique research and appraisal" and what he lacked was an opportunity to be fully exposed.

That exposure opportunity was naturally this event.

As a junior, Zhang Yang was willing to lend a helping hand.

His Yangming Studio will be hired by Che Lijun to assist him in hosting this treasure appraisal event.

In short, Che Lijun's name will be signed on the contract.

He is the only organizer of this event.

Zhang Yang will make some money in the name of the studio.

And in order to make Teacher Che believe that he did it for money, Zhang Yang very reluctantly reserved 45% of the future organizer's income.

"Brother, you really can't add more. If you add it to 30-70, it will be the same as yesterday, right? Then you will suffer a loss."

Zhang Yang's words made Che Lijun very emotional.

He held Zhang Yang's hand tightly and said:

"It's rare to find someone as kind-hearted as you, Junior Brother!"

...

After dealing with Teacher Che, Zhang Yang went to find Chu Zhenmin.

Coincidentally, Xiao Chu was also looking for Zhang Yang.

After the three met, they first talked about the archaeological team.

Chu Zhenmin had already solved the staffing problem and arranged it under the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Archaeological Research Center.

He, the former director, accepted the rehire and became the leader of the archaeological team.

Cheng Laoer and Mao Shiqi were both temporary workers;

Zhang Yang's entry into the expert pool was basically settled. Although there was still a two-year probation period, he was already qualified to be hired as a formal member of the archaeological team;

Chu Ziqiang was in a worse situation. He still had to take the civil service examination.

"I won't be around for the next few months." Little Chu said miserably.

He had to concentrate on preparing for the exam and not bring shame to the Chu family.

"It's okay. Don't forget that you are the second brother in my live broadcast room." Zhang Yang comforted.

"I will give you a room manager when I go back. You can support the work of our archaeological team in my live broadcast room."

"How to support in the live broadcast room?" Xiao Chu asked.

"Help me to block the trolls, advertising dogs and the like."

"Do you really want me to be your room manager?" Xiao Chu waved his hand: "Forget it, I'd better read books."

"It should have been like this a long time ago."

Chu Zhenmin patted Chu Ziqiang's shoulder heavily, and Xiao Chu grimaced in pain.

Old Chu turned around and asked Zhang Yang about the cooperation with Che Lijun to organize treasure appraisal activities.

Zhang Yang did not intend to play tricks with Director Chu, and told him directly that he was specially invited to come to deter the scoundrels.

Seeing his serious face, Chu Zhenmin asked with some concern:

"Is it enough for me, a retired cadre?"

This question really stumped Zhang Yang.

No one knows whether there is a bigger backer behind Che Lijun and others.

The retired director of the Cultural Relics Bureau is indeed a bit off.

Fortunately, Lao Chu was not really asking, he was just explaining what he said next.

"Or, I'll bring Director Yu along!"

The Director Yu he mentioned is the current deputy director of the State Administration of Cultural Relics.

In charge of the work of the Supervision Department of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Zhang Yang searched for this person's information on the Internet.

The national special campaign to combat cultural relics crimes that began this year was led and responsible by Director Yu.

The owners of those antique shops in Yanjing "talk about Yu and turn pale."

Zhang Yang thought of the certificates that Che Lijun had issued. If the bad things he did were revealed, he really doubted whether he could withstand such an iron fist!

"Then thank you and Director Yu for your hard work."

"Based on my experience in organizing appraisal activities in Linhai, tomb robbers, national treasure gangs, and even fraudsters will come."

"By then, there may be many times when leaders need to lend a hand."

"Do you want to call the special police? I have an uncle who is from the armed police detachment." Xiao Chu asked.

"Not really, not really. They are just scoundrels, not the Axe Gang."
