Manager Yu said: "Although this work is Lan Ying's late work and is of a high standard, looking back at previous auctions, the transaction price of Lan Ying's works has never been such a high price, like the one sold last year. "Cangyan Trees", that painting is 33 square feet, and the converted transaction price is only more than 400,000 per square foot, while this painting is small, but it is more than 550,000 per square foot. This price is really unreasonable .¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think so. I was lucky enough to appreciate the work that was taken last year at close range, and there are still some differences between it and this painting, and the techniques of expression in the two paintings are also different.¡±
Meng Zitao spoke eloquently: "The outlines of the mountains and rocks in this work are short, vigorous and lively. They are dotted with broken brushes and scratched with side edges, creating a majestic atmosphere. The mountains are mixed with red, green, pink and white trees. The vigorous and sophisticated writing style can be seen in the neatness and orderliness, and the grass is dotted at the foot of the mountain and the waterside"
"All in all, I think this work has reached the pinnacle of Lan Ying's artistic level. "Cangyan Jia Shu Tu" is a step lower than the artistic level. Of course, the price between the two is not comparable. So I think , this painting is priced at five million, which is still appropriate.¡±
What Meng Zitao said was reasonable and well-founded, and Manager Yu couldn't come up with a reason to refute it. He felt a little depressed, because with Meng Zitao's position in the community, his judgment would definitely be much stronger than his, and if Meng Zitao was indeed He has real talent and knowledge, and his judgment on the price of antique collections is definitely better than his.
In this way, he is now at a disadvantage, and it will be difficult for him to compete with Meng Zitao in the future.
Meng Zitao looked at the others and saw that they were all in deep thought. He smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Bao, how about selling this work to me?"
"Of course it's no problem." Bao Qigu was still hoping that this painting could be sold. Speaking of which, if he hadn't had a good relationship with Mr. Pei, he wouldn't have taken it over. After all, he also felt that 5 million was too expensive, but now he heard that Meng Zitao said that the price may not be too expensive, but if you want to transfer it again, there is probably no profit.
Twenty or thirty meters away from the left side of Bao Qigu's store was a China Construction Bank. The two of them went to transfer the account together and it was done quickly. Meng Zitao couldn't help but wonder if Bao Qigu would open his store here. It's because it's close to the bank.
Back in the store, Bao Qigu asked about Mr. Pei again. Hao Chu said: "The day before yesterday, Mr. Pei's four children made trouble again, but this time they also took action and took Mr. Pei's wife. I was so frightened that I was hospitalized. Although the old lady was fine and was discharged from the hospital the next day, Mr. Pei was angry and said that he didn¡¯t keep any of his collection and planned to sell them all and use the money to set up an education fund.¡±
Hearing that this was the case, Bao Qigu understood why Manager Yu looked so unhappy just now. Now that Meng Zitao knew about it, he would definitely go and have a look, but how could Manager Yu compete with Meng Zitao.
I understand, Bao Qigu also has some complaints against Hao Chu in his heart. Even if you are dissatisfied with Manager Yu because the business cannot be negotiated, don't look at Manager Yu in front of me. If Manager Yu can't compete with Meng Zitao in the future, , and took out his grievances on himself, then wouldn¡¯t he have suffered an unreasonable disaster?
Since we talked about this matter, Meng Zitao must go and take a look, and he must do it as soon as possible. This kind of thing is often "the quick one will get it, the slow one will not". If you are slow, the seller may sign a contract with someone else first.
Meng Zitao asked Bao Qigu to take them to Pei's hometown, and Manager Yu also went with him. In fact, he learned the news last night, but he couldn't negotiate such a big business, so he reported it to the headquarters. The headquarters said they would send someone over today, but they haven't contacted him yet, and they don't know what happened.
Bao Qigu drove everyone to Mr. Pei¡¯s home. Mr. Pei¡¯s place was not very far away, only about twenty minutes¡¯ drive away.
Meng Zitao thought that the old man lived in a community, but when he got there, he realized that it was an old residence, but it had been repaired and looked quite interesting.
There are not many old houses like this anymore, and they have basically been demolished to give way to the development of modern cities. The remaining old houses can be regarded as rare.
After everyone got out of the car, they found a car parked in front of Pei¡¯s hometown. It seemed that someone had already visited.
The door was open and the group of people walked straight in. However, when they saw the people inside, Manager Yu was startled and his face became a little gloomy.
A young man in his mid-thirties in the room saw Manager Yu and said hello with a smile: "Manager Yu, you are here!"
Manager Yu couldn¡¯t help the anger in his heart and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call me to inform me?¡±
The young man chuckled: "I think it would be better to discuss this matter later."?¡±
Although Manager Yu is furious, he still has some professional ethics. An argument at this time will definitely cause the owner's displeasure, and the business will be ruined 90% of the time.
"Where is Teacher Feng?" Manager Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.
The young man said with a smile: "He just followed Mr. Pei to appreciate the collection. Since there is no one outside, I volunteered to watch here."
Meng Zitao muttered in his heart: "What are you looking at? He should be blocking others from entering."
At this moment, two old men hurriedly walked out of the back room. One of them, an old man in his seventies or eighties, had a worried look on his face. It was obvious that something had happened.
Seeing this situation, Bao Qigu quickly asked: "Mr. Pei, what happened to you?"
"No, one of my collections has been lost!" Mr. Pei said anxiously.
"Ah!" Everyone looked shocked.
"How many pieces were lost?" Bao Qigu asked quickly.
Pei Lao was so worried that he broke out in sweat: "At least ten pieces of the collection were lost. I didn't count the details. I came out as soon as I found something wrong. I was worried about destroying the clues inside."
"Hurry up and call the police!" Bao Qigu said hurriedly.
When Mr. Pei called the police, Bao Qigu said again: "Mr. Pei, please don't get excited. Think about what's going on. I remember that your collection room was remade, but it's just a little worse than the bank's vault. , how could it be stolen without a word?"
Because of this, Bao Qigu¡¯s first thought was that an acquaintance committed the crime. If it were an outsider, it would be impossible for him to steal only a dozen collections.
"Yes, how could it be!"
Mr. Pei calmed down and said: "I went in yesterday morning and everything was normal. I stayed at home all day yesterday and got up twice at night, but I didn't hear anything. What time did he steal?" of?"
Meng Zitao asked: "Mr. Pei, do you have a regular schedule for sleeping and getting up at night?"
"This is indeed quite regular, but I went to bed an hour late last night." Mr. Pei's face became more and more ugly as he said this. Judging from various circumstances, this was probably a theft case committed by an acquaintance. Who are the people I am most familiar with? Apart from my wife, they are probably my children.
Thinking of this, Mr. Pei felt sad. How could he give birth to such a child? It is the fault of a son not to teach his father, but because of production and construction, he had no time to educate his children. When he wanted to educate his children again, it was already too late!
At this time, Meng Hongchang pointed to the surveillance camera on the wall and said, "The surveillance should be useful, right?"
"Yes!" Mr. Pei hurriedly went to check the monitoring, but the other party was obviously very experienced and directly removed the monitoring host.
In fact, this is not beyond Meng Zitao¡¯s expectation. Due to the popularization of surveillance, many criminals now know that surveillance is required when committing crimes, let alone if they are committed by acquaintances. In order to avoid being found, surveillance and processing are inevitable.
Mr. Pei¡¯s lost items amounted to tens of millions, and it was a big case. The police arrived faster than before. After arriving, they first understood the situation and then went to investigate for clues.
At this time, it was inconvenient for irrelevant personnel to stay here, so the young man and Teacher Feng left first. Before leaving, they gave Mr. Pei their business cards, and Manager Yu also left with a gloomy face.
But Meng Zitao planned to stay. He felt that he could help a little, and he could also become familiar with Mr. Pei and win his favor.
So, Meng Zitao took out his ID. Except for Meng Hongchang, everyone else was surprised how could Meng Zitao still have this identity.
After showing his ID, Meng Zitao participated in the investigation. However, the thief was too cunning and did not leave any useful clues. Judging from this, it does not seem like it was done by Mr. Pei's children.
Maybe there is collusion between inside and outside?
Meng Zitao thinks this possibility is relatively high, but if this is the case, the perpetrators should come and visit the site, and then there will be clues left.
"Mr. Pei, have you met any strangers recently?"
"You mean where you met a stranger."
"There are strangers acting sneaky in or near your home."
"I'm so sneaky that I haven't seen it before, but two men came to my house yesterday and sold me a few Kangxi Tongbao Xiaoping, which cost me six hundred yuan."
Meng Zitao was a little suspicious when he heard this, why did they still need to find Mr. Pei when they were selling copper coins, so he asked.
Mr. Pei replied: "They said they came here because of their reputation. They said that my price for buying things was fair and that they would not be cheated if they sold them to me. I didn't think much about it. Are you saying that they are thieves?"
"possible."
Meng Zitao said: "Where are the few copper coins you bought? Maybe their fingerprints can be extracted."
¡°Because it¡¯s not too valuable, I put it in this drawer as usual¡¡±
Pei Lao opened the drawer and was suddenly surprised: "Where are the copper coins I put inside?!"
Meng Zitao went over to take a look, and sure enough, all the copper coins were gone, so it was obvious that those two people were suspected of committing a major crime, because these few copper coins were also stolen, and it was most likely done by an insider, otherwise they would not have committed the crime. After stealing more than a dozen collections, he also took away a few worthless copper coins. This is not in line with ordinary people's thinking.
