    Before Meng Zitao sat back down, he went to Xiao Zhou to find out who the seller was. Xiao Zhou said that he didn¡¯t know this person and he shouldn¡¯t be an antique dealer or collector in San Francisco.

    So, Meng Zitao returned to his seat and asked Lao Xiao, who was sitting next to him: "Lao Xiao, do you know who this seller is?"

    Lao Xiao said: "This person is Tian Youqi from Juguzhai in New York. I didn't expect that today's auction would be able to attract him."

    "Sure enough!"

    Meng Zitao secretly thought, it seems that the clues to the mastermind behind the scenes lie in this person.  At this time, he saw that Lao Xiao was quite excited, so he reminded him in a low voice: "I suggest you just take a look."

    "What did you say?"

    Lao Xiao didn't react at first. After a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "What do you mean?"

    "That's what you understand." Meng Zitao nodded lightly.

    "No way." Lao Xiao was a little dubious. In the final analysis, it was because Meng Zitao was young and Tian Youqi's Juguzhai was well-known in the Chinese antiques community in New York.

    Meng Zitao said: "No matter how powerful you are in this business, there is still the possibility of being noticed. Of course, maybe I am wrong."

    ??????? Lao Xiao chuckled: ¡°In any case, I still trust my brother¡¯s vision.¡±

    That¡¯s what he said, but when the auction started, Lao Xiao¡¯s eagerness to give it a try clearly revealed his true thoughts.

    However, Lao Xiao did not expect that the competition at the scene would be so fierce, and some people even joined forces to participate in the bidding. Although Lao Xiao had money, in the face of fierce competition and Meng Zitao's judgment, he finally felt that it was not cost-effective, so he  give up.

    The auction of this piece of porcelain has ended, and the entire auction has come to an end. As the dust of the last lot has settled, everyone goes to pay and pick up the goods.

    Everything went smoothly. Meng Zitao paid for the two pieces of porcelain he had photographed. Although the quantity was far inferior to that of Lao Xiao, the money he earned from just one piece of porcelain was more than what Lao Xiao earned from a bunch of things.  There are many.

    Originally, Meng Zitao wanted to ask Lao Xiao about Tian Youqi's situation, but he had too many things to take, and he had some concerns, so he gave up this plan.

    However, Meng Zitao did not go to Tian Youqi, but Tian Youqi came to the door.

    "Hello, sir, I am Tian Youqi."

    ¡°Hello, what can I do for you?¡±

    "That's what happened. I would like to ask, do you have any thoughts on selling the small Longquan kiln jar you just photographed?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and shook his head slightly: "I plan to collect it myself."

    "Sorry to disturb you." Tian Youqi didn't say much, turned around and left, but after leaving for a while, his face darkened: "Why did he come to the United States? Why don't you go out for a walk."

    Meng Zitao also realized that Tian Youqi should be here to test, which made him very distressed. Because this is the United States, he could not immediately send people to arrest Tian Youqi for interrogation. He could only find enough evidence, and then  Extraditing people to the country through diplomatic means is undoubtedly a troublesome and time-consuming matter.

    Now that Tian Youqi is alert, it will undoubtedly be difficult to find evidence, and if he finds out that he is secretly investigating, it will be even more troublesome.

    Meng Zitao thought about it and felt that he had to be careful about this matter. Investigation was necessary, but he had to keep an eye on the person first, and he could not act rashly.  Originally, he planned to disguise himself to make contact, but now it seems he has to let go first.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s have a good honeymoon before we talk.¡±

    After making the decision, Meng Zitao put aside the investigation and had fun with He Wanyi in the United States.

    A few days later, a group of three people visited the small town of Cold Spring in upstate New York.

    The magic of this town is its location. Cold Spring is located on the banks of the Hudson River, close to Sleepy Hollow, a dream destination for artists and outdoor enthusiasts.  On the streets that have been lively since the 19th century, locals like to set up roadside stalls selling various novelty gadgets. The riverside restaurants serve a variety of delicious meals and drinks. Backpackers can explore the Wanhudson Highlands.  Afterwards, stay in the small town and enjoy some leisure time.

    In addition, there is another thing here that attracts Meng Zitao, and that is its antique shops. There are more than a dozen antique shops with a long history in a small town, which can really interest Meng Zitao.

    Speaking of which, small towns on the east coast of the United States are very different from other cities. Since this is where early European immigrants settled, they have always maintained a unique European flavor. The people here have their own?No, at least 290,000!  "

    After a lot of bickering, Meng Zitao finally bought this bronze ice mirror from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period for US$272,000. Both of them were very satisfied.

    After completing the transaction, Meng Zitao hurriedly wanted to transport the bronze ice mirror back to China. However, it was troublesome to transport such an artifact back safely, so Meng Zitao called the staff at the New York headquarters of Department 3 and asked them to return it as soon as possible.  Send someone to handle it.

    By the time everything was done and the Bingjian was on its way back to China, it was already evening.

    By this time, everyone had returned to New York, and they found a restaurant to have dinner.

    While everyone was eating and chatting, Shu Huijie looked at the falling snow outside the window and said, "Time flies so fast, the Chinese New Year will be in a few days."

    "Yes, happy time is always short-lived." He Wanyi asked: "Aren't you going back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

    "I'm not going back. I plan to return to China after graduation." Shu Huijie said with emotion: "Looking back at this time last year, I was still at home celebrating the New Year with my parents. However, people always have to grow up, and sooner or later they have to be separated from their parents.  In my arms. Oh, why am I saying these things! Tell me about you, when are you going to hold a big fat boy? "

    He Wanyi was still a little embarrassed when this topic was brought up, but Meng Zitao was much more generous and said with a smile: "You can't rush this kind of thing, just let it take its course."

    Shu Huijie winked at He Wanyi: "Just tell me if you have it, and I'll prepare a gift for him."

    He Wanyi smiled and said, "That's for sure."

    "Then I'll be waiting for the good news." Shu Huijie smiled and then asked, "When are you planning to return to China?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Wanyi will go back the day after tomorrow. I have other things to do here. I will stay for another day or two before returning to China."

    "Oh, do you need my help?"

    "I won't trouble you about work matters."

    "Okay, call me if you need me."

    In the culture of Western restaurants, dishes are generally served first as appetizers, then main dishes, and then desserts, and each person has one portion. After finishing one dish, the plate is taken away and another dish is served. Unlike in China, where a table is full and people eat while turning the wheel.  Generally speaking, there is no need for private rooms. Of course, there are other reasons for private rooms, but in any case, Western restaurants rarely have private rooms, and the voice is relatively low, so as not to disturb others.

    Because Western restaurants rarely have private rooms, privacy is not that good. For example, Meng Zitao always felt that someone was watching him from time to time during the meal. He pretended to look in the direction of the gaze casually and found that  They are two young foreigners.

    Meng Zitao thought: "Is it someone sent by Tian Youqi, or is it someone else?"

    Thinking about it, he felt a little uneasy. After all, this was not the home court, and he was not alone. He didn't want to encounter a dangerous situation. Therefore, he had to find out what was going on with these two people as soon as possible.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
