Chapter 001

Every time he came out to dig out the old house, Mo Liming was basically exhausted. As a "backbone" of the Porcelain Miscellaneous Department, he should have gotten used to getting up early and working late at night, working like a cow and holding his breath like a bastard.

Mo Liming is just over 24 years old this year. He graduated from a relatively famous university in this city two years ago. During his four-year college career, he majored in economics. After leaving school, he did not like most other students. Like classmates who sharpened their heads to find a job, they planned to start their own businesses. As early as the second half of his senior year, Mo Liming and a few like-minded alumni planned their career direction, and they planned to invest together after graduation. In fact, within half a year after leaving campus, Mo Liming and those few friends opened a commodity agency store in a prosperous area of ​​the city. Speaking of which, they were all just fledgling college students at the time. "Start from scratch", and most of the funds they used to start a business were raised from their parents and other relatives and friends, and the rest of the capital was accumulated when they were doing work-study programs and part-time jobs in college.

After the store was opened, Mo Liming and the others were very motivated, and with the use of their marketing expertise, the store business was good at the beginning. Although it was not a huge profit, the profits were shared equally among six people. It is better for the generals to get a certain amount of harvest than to work hard under the hands of cruel capitalists. This way they have freedom and can exercise themselves, mainly because the opportunities for development are much greater.

However, the good times didn’t last long. Due to the sudden decline in the market potential of the auto parts and accessories of the brand they represented, they were once in a shrinking state. Finally, the general agent Hu Mou fled under strong pressure because of a huge sum of money owed. Soon, not only the stores opened by Mo Liming and others, but many franchise stores of the same type closed down one after another.

After the agency store that he had painstakingly managed closed down, Mo Liming's brothers who worked side by side all went bankrupt, and he, Mo Liming, lost all his money and lost his money in his hometown. Because he needed to continue living, his partners began to face reality. Yi reluctantly waved goodbye to him, and went running and chasing each other for their own future.

Mo Liming closed his business at home for more than half a month after his business was short-lived. At that time, his parents urged him to find a job all day long. Later, he also looked for a job eagerly, but none of them were suitable for him. After a month or two, he resigned and came back.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road. A few months ago, under the introduction of an old classmate, he successfully entered "Jiu Ding", which is the art auction company he is now working for.

After being recruited into the "Jiuding Auction Company", Mo Liming could only start from the lowest level of work. Thinking about it, what can he do as a layman who knows nothing about antiques besides being a handyman? Be a salesman and contact the seller. It is very possible to punch him until he vomits blood.

Therefore, Mo Liming became a miscellaneous worker in the Porcelain Miscellaneous Department as a matter of course, but thinking of his hard work and devotion to the company's affairs in the past few months, the leaders above called him kindly "Mo backbone".

To put it nicely, he is the "backbone of the Porcelain Miscellaneous Department". In fact, he is basically a small employee who runs errands and porters for this antique auction company. He does more work than anyone else in the company. But the salary he gets is less than anyone else's. This is the fresh reality, but there is nothing he can do about it, Mo Liming, if you have the ability, go to appraise treasures for others. Being invited by various TV stations and other media with high rewards to go to the scene to appraise the treasure, Bel has face.

But the reality is that Mo Liming is a rookie among the rookies in this industry, but since he came into contact with the antique business, his interest has become more and more serious, and he usually reads books about antique appreciation. He also broadcasts it on time every day and will not miss it. Although he is not qualified to worship any master as a master, he has the determination to become a talent by himself.

As a newcomer, Mo Liming's only advantage is that he is very self-aware. In this regard, his awareness is too strong. Whether it is going out with the company's experts to look at the goods, or going out to the antique market by himself, he always pursues a The principle, that is, "see more and buy less, ask more and talk less", and at the same time, he works in an auction company with a passive "sacred aura" and he is rarely seen by others. Some people think that he is pretending to be low-key, He is pretending to be forceful or something, but in fact he really doesn’t understand. He is afraid that he will make a fool of himself if he expresses his opinion, and what’s more, he will hurt others, because he has seen it a lot and he knows it well. This industry is very deep. , There is the possibility of low investment and high gains, and there are times when high investment takes big risks. Often a high imitation will ruin the family and ruin the family, and the consequences are quite serious.

Although Mo Liming is a staff member of the Miscellaneous Porcelain Department, his scope of work is not limited to porcelain. Most of the manual labor in the sales and circulation of gold, silver, jade, jewelry and other items falls on his shoulders. He organizes the treasure house every day, and he also has the duty of transporting items to be auctioned.

No, today he accompanied another employee in the company to go out to search the house, and this beautiful colleague of his has a background. Her name is Fu Yihong, and she is one of the most famous experts in "Jiuding Company" One, this expert is the best among them, and she is the youngest one. According to Chairman Yang Bin's words: "She has a bright future!"

Fu Yihong looks only 23 or [-] years old, and she is the same age as Mo Liming, but the two cannot compare professionally. After all, she Fu Yihong comes from a famous family, and her teacher Huo Yunlin is a well-known and respected treasure expert in this field. She was influenced by her ears and eyes, and naturally learned a good skill in appraising treasures.

For Mo Liming, he doesn't know much about Fu Yihong. Although she usually looks up and down in the company, she has a high personality and is very conceited. She rarely communicates with people in low positions in the company. When the company assigned Mo Liming to go out with her to collect things, Fu Yihong also kept a distance from him, except for asking him to help her with things, she would not say a word to him.

Of course, Mo Liming didn't expect anything from a beauty like her who was as cold as ice and not approaching people. Anyway, he could do his own job well, so he always acted calm and natural in front of her.

However, Mo Liming admires Fu Yihong. She is indeed far superior to ordinary people in her work. She has a strong foundation and a very high level of reading. She rarely misses or makes mistakes and causes losses to the company. At that time, because of her strong business ability, Mo Liming indirectly learned some useful industry knowledge from her, for which he had to express his gratitude to Fu Yihong.

And just now, Fu Yihong bought a lot of good things from an old house in a neighboring county of the city, and Mo Liming had a look at each of them on the spot when she inspected the goods. It is undoubtedly a very enjoyable thing for him. It can be regarded as the great expert Fu Yihong teaching him on the ground. However, this is the only benefit for him every time he goes out to run business with her. There are not many benefits, but "tired" From an objective point of view, Mo Liming seems to be Fu Yihong's personal handyman, he carries everything, big and small bags are always hung all over his body, he is really tired like a plowing cow generally.

Mo Liming has already noticed that Fu Yihong is a fan of collecting antiques. When she was looking for goods for the company, she "filled her pockets". Well, if she finds something good, she won't put it up for auction or sell it directly. Think about it, her family is so rich, and her salary is very high, so she doesn't need that money.

Now that the two of them had just walked out of Lao Wang's house, Mo Liming and Fu Yihong were walking quickly towards the side of the road downhill, where the delivery truck assigned by their company was parked.

This place is Xiangfo County, which is a long way from T City. The current time is around four o'clock in the afternoon. If there is no traffic jam on the road and the traffic order is smooth, then the time to arrive at the company is at least seven or eight o'clock in the evening. it's time.

As far as Mo Liming knows, Xiangfo County has a long history and is an ancient town with a development track of more than 1000 years. The reason why this county is named "Xiangfo" is because Buddhism once flourished as far back as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the imperial government flourished The work of building temples, and many temple buildings were built in this place with excellent geomantic omen by mountains and rivers, and the incense was at its peak. Today, pagodas, nunneries, and earth temples can still be seen everywhere, forming scenic spots and historic sites that attract foreign tourists.

There are many ancient temples in Xiangfo County, and there are also many antiques in this rural town. It is one of the must-see places for many collectors to find treasures.

As for the art auction company that Mo Liming works for, they naturally regard it as fat, and they will always send people to keep a close eye on the few potential big customers who have not sold their good goods.

Mo Liming and Fu Yihong had a fruitful trip this time. Aside from the odds and ends, that piece of gold was enough to tempt people's appetites.

At this time, Mo Liming was carrying a bag on his back, and a large bulging package was hanging on his shoulders, and his hands were not idle, holding a square red lacquered wooden box.

I saw that the mahogany box looked antique, and the shape was quite elegant. If you look carefully, you can find that there are patterns painted on the surface of the brocade box, and the paintings on it are lotus flowers and Buddha statues, which are very vivid.

Mo Liming held the box carefully, as if he was afraid of accidentally dropping it. He really couldn't afford to drop millions of things.

That's right, the estimated value of the items in that box is more than 300 million, which can be regarded as a heavy item. The gold item is a so-called "protective altar". After testing, it is found that every inch is pure gold, and it is a family heirloom of Lao Wang. Treasure.

"Hurry up, we have to get back to the company before eight o'clock!"

Fu Yihong urged, but she didn't turn her head, she just quickened her pace.

"Ah."

Mo Liming responded softly, but he was a little upset in his heart. He carried so many things on his back, and the weight was not light. A person with infinite strength would struggle to breathe, not to mention that every item was of little value. Fei's treasures, these are all "body bombs", if they fall to the ground, they will kill people's lives.

Although he felt a little resentful, Mo Liming followed Fu Yihong's wishes and followed quickly.

Lao Wang's house is in a relatively remote place on the outskirts of Xiangfo County. The local area is a typical hilly area, so the way down from Lao Wang's house located in a higher place is a steep slope, and the road is bumpy. The two of them Every step is difficult.

After finally coming to the side of the road, Mo Liming finally let out a long sigh of relief after getting into the Cheetah car.

The car was driven by Fu Yihong, and she would drive the car when she returned home, while Mo Liming sat beside her leisurely and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

It has always been like this, the two of them have nothing in common, even if Mo Liming had the cheek to ask her about common sense about antiques, she would only answer indifferently.

In Mo Liming's view, he and Fu Yihong are people in two different worlds.

The car started, and the speed was set a little faster by Fu Yihong, probably because she was in a hurry to go back to the company for work.

The natural scenery on both sides of the mountain road leading to T City, where the company belongs to Xiangfo County, is quite beautiful. As far as the eye can see, there are moso bamboos everywhere, covering the sky and the sun. Dozed off.

I don't know how long it took, but all of a sudden, there was only a screeching sound of the brakes, and Mo Liming was awakened by the huge vibration and jolt.

"Manager Fu, what's wrong?! There's such a big commotion, don't you want to break things!" Mo Liming hurriedly opened his eyes and straightened his back. At the same time, he subconsciously hugged Inside that mahogany box was a "Pure Gold Bodyguard Shrine" that was ordered with a lot of money.

"what?"

In an instant, Mo Liming was taken aback. He stared at Fu Yihong intently, but at this moment, he saw her face turned pale, as if she had seen something most terrifying.

"What's the matter, this is?" Mo Liming stared at Fu Yihong's dull gaze in bewilderment.

What immediately caught his eyes were two people. The figures of the two men were squatting or standing in the middle of the road, obviously blocking the way. Their motorcycle seemed to be broken and they were fiddling there.

"It's not good, the two of them have bad looks!"

Suddenly, there was an ominous omen coming.
