Chapter 93 The Auction House Party Struggle
Zhou Wenyan pondered and said: "The biggest possibility is to wait and see what happens. The capital is a battleground for military strategists. Not only are there big auctions with names and surnames, but there are dozens of small auctions. Some rely on relationships, some rely on contacts, in short Not a single fuel saving lamp!"

"This time our leader asked me to focus on Zhongzheng. After all, we have a good relationship, and it is also my first special report when I become a regular. So we are comrades-in-arms. Hello, I am better."

Zhou Wenyan kept winking at Wu Tianyuan and Sun Yuyao, and the atmosphere relaxed again.

"Zhongzheng's main opponent now is Xilin. Everyone in the circle knows that the last time you slapped the face, this time you are marching into the capital at the same time. Zhou Jianyun will definitely suppress you both publically and privately! One is revenge, and the other is to kill chickens to scare monkeys and establish prestige!"

"Hmph, who is the chicken? Who is the monkey? It is not certain! With Senior Brother here, we are not afraid of anyone!"

Liu Meizi yelled while eating barbecue, she is a diehard fan of Wu Tianyuan, and she supports everything.

"You little RB, your hair hasn't grown yet, what do you know?"

Liu Meizi looked at Zhou Wenyan's disdainful expression, and counterattacked: "You big breasted girl, are you tired all day? Are you still talking about me?"

The two guys stared and chattered, neither of them convinced the other.

"Forget it, the soldiers are coming to stop us. If we have goods, no one is afraid. Liu Meizi is right. Is it a chicken or a monkey? We will know when the time comes!"

Hand over the company to Sun Yuyao and Lao Yu, Wu Tianyuan will start running relationships in the next step, and the old man Ma Dingxiang needs to be in touch frequently, he is a heavyweight and has status in the circle.

There is also Zhang Xincheng, who is also a master, very influential.Bai Hua is still out of town, and will visit her when she returns.Wang Dagang met once, and Zhai Jianmin is temporarily in Hong Kong, waiting to get back together for a get-together.

Niu Feng went abroad to do business, he contacted by phone and said he came back a few days later, he was very happy to know that Wu Tianyuan had finally come to the capital, and he could see him often in the future.

"It's right for you kid to come to the capital, this is the nest of antiques, good thing!"

Ma Lao came to Tianyuan Residence in Liulichang today, saw the empty shelves and said with a smile: "Old Tian, ​​you have to work hard, this will make your colleagues laugh!"

"It's easy for you to say, but it's not easy to share things among colleagues now! The good ones are unwilling to go out, and the bad ones don't match us, why don't you find something?"

Lao Tian has also been working very hard recently. The store is poor and empty. He knows that the boss has heavy equipment, but he opens the door for business, not for exhibitions. Who can afford tens of millions of treasures?
"I asked someone to bring back a batch of snuff bottles and jade wares from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China from RB. Sixty or seventy of them will be held first. Made it out!"

Hearing this, Lao Tian felt relieved, smiled and went to make tea and chat together.

"Your boy is also a billionaire now. You don't need money. Having a store is the right way. Speaking of it, there is also a guarantee. This circle pays attention to the old rules. If you have nothing to do, learn from Lao Tian. Don't be rude when you meet experts."

Wu Tianyuan humbly asked for advice. Although he has supernatural powers, there are many rules in this industry, and there are etiquettes in peer communication. If you don't even understand this, others will definitely laugh at you.

"In the past, this was a place where the wind and clouds meet. There are many dignitaries, royal relatives, and famous masters every day. Your store is the old site of Zhao Ruzhen, the famous man in the past. Now that society has advanced, there are auction houses and the Internet. Not as good as before, it has become a tourist attraction!"

Mr. Ma sighed, he was the one who had experienced the last glory of Liulichang, knowing the scene at that time, he sighed endlessly.

"Except for Rongbaozhai, which can be regarded as the number one, the others are selling the Four Treasures of the Study. There has been no antique tycoon who was so powerful in those days, so you don't have to worry, take your time."

"Old Ma, do you know anything about Xilin Printing Society?"

Mr. Ma took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I also heard that Zhongzheng is going to fight Xilin in the next step. Zhou Jianyun is not an ordinary person. He has a deep scheming and has connections. Xilin has developed and grown under his hands in the past few years. It's not necessary. Come to the capital to share a piece of the pie."

"Their specialties are calligraphy and seals. This is so deep that even Jiade Baoli is ashamed of it. Rongbaozhai and Duoyuxuan, one from the south and the other from the north, are both century-old brands. Modern masters. At that time, they were all painting in the store and selling them directly with a marked price.”

"As for the four major auctions in China, Kuang's and Jiade are close. Yan Huaming of Hanhai has a relationship with me. Behind Baoli is a military background with a national background. As for Jiade..."

Wu Tianyuan looked at Mr. Ma's hesitant expression, and curiously asked the following.

"I'm just saying, once you're done listening!"

Ma Lao said in a low voice: "A friend told me a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not. Jiade's Chen Dongsheng is not simple, he has a big financial group behind him, and he seems to be from abroad!"

Wu Tianyuan was shocked. The boss of Jiade is a legendary figure. He came from grass roots and started from scratch. Over the past 20 years, he not only founded Jiade, but also established two other large companies, with assets worth tens of billions, which is very mysterious.

"I also heard it from hearsay, but there must be a reason for the groundless rumors. You should pay more attention to yourself. The auction circle is very deep, so you must be careful!"

Ma Lao sternly reminded Wu Tianyuan that he didn't want the younger generation he was optimistic about to be in any danger, because people's hearts were sinister.

Wu Tianyuan nodded, knowing the importance of it, it's too early to talk about it now, let's talk about it after winning the first battle.Xilin seems to be eyeing him, ready to settle the old and new grudges together.Zhongzheng needs to make preparations early, and the first shot must be fired.

"Mr. Zhou, this time our celebrity letters special session is really full of high-quality goods. There are letters from Mr. Zhang Daqian to old friends, letters from Hu Shi to Wang Yunwu, Qian Siliang, and Dong Zuobin. There are also many letters from Chiang Kai-shek to Chen Lifu, which are rare. The value of historical research at first sight."

Zhou Jianyun nodded in satisfaction and said: "We in Xilin have put in all our efforts to be the first shot in the capital. Here are all the old collections, and there are many letters and family letters that the masters showed up for the first time. There are more than 60 pieces in total. It will make collectors flock to it.”

"What kind of bullshit is there with all this? Last time, Zhou Jie was incompetent and lost the face of our Xilin Printing Society. This time, we must get it back with interest!"

Zhou Jianyun waved his hand and said: "In public and private, we have to win this time beautifully! Zhongzheng is just a third-rate auction house, and it has gained a bit of limelight by relying on hype. This time, let them know the background of the real big auction. Get back your face!"

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that Dao Zhongzheng is planning to hold a preview on the weekend. Do you think so?"

Zhou Jianyun said with a dark smile: "Weekend is a good day, let's join in the fun!"

"It's not good, I just got the confirmed news that the preview of the celebrity letters of Xilin Press is also scheduled to be held this weekend, in the VIP hall of the Palace."

Old Yu trotted all the way back to report the news, and said indignantly: "Zhou Jianyun deliberately scheduled the preview at the same time as us, so that collectors have no choice."

"It's not that we have no choice! It's that we want to squeeze us to death!"

Sun Yuyao scolded: "Xilin must have used his relationship to invite old customers to join him. There are only so many collectors who like calligraphy. They all went to him. We have no one here?"

Wu Tianyuan shook his head, and said calmly: "Since the colleagues are so enthusiastic, it seems that the two weekends must be a good day, don't worry, it's not certain who will be available then!"
