Super quality mind

Chapter 40

Lin Long shuttled through each store with great interest, but every time he just looked but didn't buy.Shi Lei was a little confused, how many houses had ancient coins, why didn't he buy them?
"Boss Lin, are you not satisfied?" Shi Lei asked tentatively.

"That's not it, but these bids are all at the market price, and I have all those sold, so what's the point of buying them back? Are you tired? If you are tired, you take a rest, and I will go there again Take a look at a few."

"Not tired, I just followed Mr. Lin to increase my knowledge."

Lin Long turned around, Shi Lei showed a helpless expression.It seems that this day is going to be a waste of work again. When will he have enough fun and really sit down and negotiate a contract with me?
Walking into a shop called Jubaozhai, the interior is decorated with antiques, pottery, porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, copper, jade, wood, a dazzling array, almost all kinds of things that Shi Lei has heard of, seem to be available here.

But Shi Lei didn't expect that he saw another person here, a person he really didn't want to see.

"Boss Lin, Xiaoshi, I didn't expect you to be together." A slightly dark and fat man walked over.

"Mr. Hu, I didn't expect you to like this antique too. Why, you know Xiaoshi well?" Lin Long greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Hu, what a coincidence. Mr. Lin, I only met Mr. Hu once, so we are not familiar."

The person who came was Hu Changsheng from Changsheng Group. This time, Wufang Longjiang was competing with Changsheng Trading for the agency rights of Xisheng electric vehicles.Shi Lei didn't know if Hu Changsheng happened to be here, or he was waiting here on purpose.If it's the latter, it means that Shi Lei's every move is under the control of the other party, which would be terrible.

It is rumored that Hu Changsheng was a farmer in his early years, working part-time before graduating from elementary school.Later, for some unknown reason, I suddenly made a fortune and bought several barren hills.A coal mine happened to be discovered in the barren hills, and somehow he obtained a mining license. Relying on the booming business of coal, his assets accumulated like a snowball.

When the state gradually banned private coal mines, he sold all of the coal mines at almost the highest price, obtained a large amount of cash, and then entered real estate and health care products.

In the past few years, these two industries were not standardized, and his assets skyrocketed again.When the country was about to take control, he sold the health care products business, started a prosperous business, entered the retail business of shopping malls, and also made a lot of money.It is conservatively estimated that his net worth is 30 billion, and he has sufficient cash.

It is said that now he is optimistic about the Internet and technology products, and is preparing to enter this industry, and is looking for partners.

Others say that Hu Changsheng is very well-connected in Longjiang and even in the capital, and has many friends regardless of politics and business.And the method seems to be not very clean. The few big businessmen who were able to wrestle with him in Longjiang either fell into despair or withdrew from the Longjiang market.

Just as these messages were flashing through Shi Lei's mind, Hu Changsheng walked over and patted Shi Lei on the shoulder enthusiastically: "Xiao Shi, how did you think about what I told you last time? Come and help me, you won't lose money." you."

Shi Lei cursed in his heart, Hu Changsheng, you are too dark, now Wufang Longjiang and Changsheng Trading are in a competitive relationship, you have made me so intimate, how does Lin Long think of me like this, will he think that I eat inside and outside?
If this spreads to Wu Fanguo, Wu Fanguo is not even needed, but to Wang Faqi's ears, they will have an excuse to fire me!
"Mr. Hu, thank you for your appreciation, but I am very happy working in Wufang Company, and I have no plans to change jobs." Shi Lei said neither humble nor overbearing.

"That's it, then let's not talk about this. Mr. Lin, what kind of antique calligraphy and painting do you like? I know a big collector. Let him palm you and make sure that all the ones picked out for you are genuine. If there is a fake , I will pay you ten times the price." Hu Changsheng said domineeringly.

"That's not necessary. Finding genuine products from fakes by yourself can exercise your eyesight and is also a kind of fun. If I want to buy authentic products, I can just go to the auction house directly. Why do I have to work so hard to find leaks?"

Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that if Lin Long really accepted Hu Changsheng's favor, he would waste his time in vain these days.

"Boss Lin is right. Since that's the case, let's take a look at the collection, Boss Lin, to see if there's anything you'd like." Shi Lei hurriedly said, don't let Hu Changsheng abduct Lin Long. up.

At first Shi Lei didn't know, he thought that these rich people bought these antiques just for the sake of being arty.Later I heard from a friend that there was another situation.

When companies bid for auctions or buy and sell antiques, they always issue service invoices.When the company makes the final accounts, these antique collections can be used as "operating facilities" to be allocated to the company's operating costs, and there is no need to pay taxes.And "operating facilities" are depreciated every year, and there are very few left in the end.And these antiques bought by them are on the market, and their value has soared.This can not only increase the value of investment, but also reduce taxes, killing two birds with one stone.

These are things to say later, and I won’t go into details for the time being.

Lin Long wandered around in the store, and occasionally asked the store owner to show him things, but no matter what he looked at, he would not express any opinions. At that time, Hu Changsheng seemed to have a lot of opinions on porcelain, calligraphy and painting, often Saying some terms that Shi Lei didn't understand at all, it seemed that he was very knowledgeable.

"Mr. Lin, look at this, the authentic work of Bai Shiweng. It's just an early work, and the technique is not as mature as later, but it is definitely a rare authentic work." The shopkeeper in the shop spread out a pair of ink paintings, Shi Lei looked pretty good, But he didn't quite believe it was Qi Baishi's.Qi Baishi's works can be sold here, and the price is only 30?

Even a pure layman like Shi Lei can figure out that this is a fake, not to mention that Lin Long has been fooled many times, and he no longer has the mentality of taking advantage of it.

The shopkeeper saw that Lin Long was not paying much attention, and knew that the other party had seen through his tricks.Without blushing, he continued to show Lin Long another calligraphy and painting, saying that it was the work of a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty, who was once Ji Xiaolan's classmate and friend.

Shi Lei had never heard of this person's name, he looked around the counter, and finally let him see something that he was more interested in, or Lin Long should be more interested in, copper coins.

"Boss Lin, here are some copper coins. I think they look good. Come over and have a look?" Shi Lei said softly.

Lin Long turned his head and looked at the counter at Shi Lei's side, where there were indeed some copper coins.They are piled together, as if they haven't been sorted yet, they all look like antiques, and some of them have patina that hasn't been cleaned up, I don't know if it's real, or I think it's old.

"Hey, shopkeeper, why are some of your ancient coins piled up together? Can you take them out and let me have a look?" Lin Long became interested.
