City Hall Canteen.
The cadres sat together.
Someone brought a big TV from nowhere and placed it in a corner where everyone could see it.
When Xia Ye won the picture of the female historian at a price of 1.25 billion, everyone stood up and cheered!
They were so excited!
Xia Ye represents the face of Dragon City and is the richest man in Dragon City!
His every move is naturally under the eyes of the city hall officials.
Not only the cadres, but also many civil servants present were overjoyed.
They seemed to be watching a football match, admiring Xia Ye extremely!
"How big of a pattern is this that we spend all our wealth just to bring cultural relics home?"
"It's really worth it for our Dragon City to have such a richest man!"
"This is the blessing that our people in Dragon City have cultivated for hundreds of years!"
"Report it to Secretary Gao quickly! Hurry!"
In fact, there is no need to report it, Gao Hongchang was also in the office and saw the whole process!
"Two hundred and fifty million, this price is not low." Gao Hongchang sighed.
Xia Ye was able to succeed because of his help. If it weren't for his 4 billion as a source of confidence, Francis might have stayed and competed with Xia Ye for the picture of female history!
In Gao Hongchang's view, it doesn't matter if one or two pieces are given, all cultural relics must go home!
That’s why he gave such great support!
"Xia Ye, you did not disappoint me." Gao Hongchang chuckled.
After this time, not only is Xia Ye enlightened, but many of the people involved in the Dragon City City Hall will also be promoted to heaven!
Among them is Gao Hongchang!
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Secretary Li walked in slowly and whispered: "Secretary, someone from the province is here."
"Who is coming?" Gao Hongchang asked.
Secretary Li said softly: "It's Secretary Xu."
Gao Hongchang was stunned.
Xu Yan, a provincial magistrate, was born in a noble family in the imperial capital.
His parents used to be high officials in the imperial capital and in the Forbidden City.
It can be said that he has an extraordinary background. He entered politics at an early age. With the help of his parents, he had a smooth journey and became the leader of the Provincial Academy.
Now his fathers have retired, but he is still on duty in the provincial court, but he has gradually reached the status of a territorial official.
In Gao Hongchang's eyes, Secretary Xu will probably be promoted to the Forbidden City in a few years.
It is not impossible to be crowned king and prime minister in the future.
"You ask the secretary to sit down first, and I'll go after I finish the work here."
If Gao Hongchang went to see him immediately, Xu Yan would not be happy. Given his character, he would accuse Gao Hongchang of delaying work.
After a while, Gao Hongchang packed up the documents and then went to the conference room.
Xu Yan has been waiting here for a long time.
However, Xu Yan did not say much as he was served with good tea and water.
He stood up with a smile: "Xiao Gao, you must be very busy."
Gao Hongchang smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said quickly: "Secretary Xu, you are neglecting me. I really can't get away. The Municipal Court has been so busy recently, there are too many things."
Xu Yan smiled and said: "It's better to be busy. At your age and status, you should be busy. Dragon City still needs a hundred Gao Hongchang!"
A compliment made Gao Hongchang realize that Secretary Xu was in a good mood.
"Haha, does the secretary have any instructions?" Gao Hongchang sat down and asked.
"Well, I have some work for you, but before I came here, I heard that you were holding a big auction!" Xu Yan asked.
Gao Hongchang smiled and said: "Yes, it was organized by a local entrepreneur named Qin Guanghe in our Dragon City. Many antique dealers and some wealthy foreigners were invited to participate. The auction was for the collection of the Sun Never Sets Museum."
Xu Yan asked: "Are there any cultural relics from our empire?"
"That's right." Gao Hongchang's expression became more serious, "Qin Guanghe's original intention of holding the auction was to allow these cultural relics to go home smoothly. The auction should have ended by now. I'll call you to ask."
Xu Yan waved his hand and said, "No need, I already know. You, Dragon City, have a pretty good young man."
"You mean... Xia Ye?"
"That's right, Xiao Gao, don't fool me. The boss behind the auction is this Xia Ye, right?"
"Haha, I really can't hide anything from Secretary Xu." Gao Hongchang scratched his head with an honest look.
But he knew that Secretary Xu was not blaming him.
Depending on his mood and attitude, it could be a good thing.
Xu Yan said: "Before I came here, I got a call from the Imperial City, asking me to come down and meet with Mr. Xia to thank him for everything he has done for Dragon City and the country. After that, the director of the Imperial Palace Museum will contact him personally to take over these batches." Artifacts.”
Gao Hongchang nodded.
Xu Yan smiled and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Xia won't want to do it."
Gao Hongchang said: "Secretary, it's like this. The original intention of holding the auction is to return the cultural relics to where they should be. Mr. Xia and Director Qin have decided to hand over all the cultural relics to the state. Deputy Wen and I have discussed this matter The secretary also knows about it."
"Oh? He said hello to you?"
Gao Hongchang nodded humbly.
Xu Yan asked knowingly, he just wanted to be sure.
Such a large auction involves many first-class treasures, and it is impossible for the Empire to ignore it and not investigate.
However, according to imperial regulations.
Even if Xia Ye does not hand over these cultural relics, they cannot buy and sell them privately. They can only be kept as treasures and placed in appropriate places.
Otherwise it is a felony!
If first-class treasures such as the bronze gui and the pictures of female historians were bought and sold privately, they would cost as many peanuts as they could eat.
This also requires the provincial council and higher-level figures to personally come down and provide guidance.
Of course, we have to talk, and if we can hand it over, that would be even better.
"Let's see, Xiao Gao, set up a line for me and meet with Mr. Xia and Mr. Qin. I'll treat you." Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Hey, how can I ask the secretary to treat you? I'll just talk about it!" Gao Hongchang said, patting his chest.
…
Soon, Gao Hongchang contacted Xia Ye.
Invited him to Hanjiang Tower.
"Brother Ye, you are so awesome! You are so domineering. We also watched that auction."
When Cui Jun learned that Xia Ye was here, and that Gao Hongchang was personally hosting the invitation today, and had also brought an honored guest, he naturally did not dare to neglect it.
He personally welcomed the summer night.
Xia Ye got off the car and walked slowly into Hanjiang Tower: "Don't mention this. Mr. Cui will contact Xiao Jiang and Dahuang when the time comes, and let's have a meal together."
"Of course Brother Ye, I've already told them, it depends on when Brother Ye has time."
Cui Jun smiled and exchanged greetings with Xia Ye, while inviting him to the top-level box.
As soon as Xia Ye opened the door, she heard Xu Yan saying to Gao Hongchang: "Xiao Gao, this place is too high. How can we eat here?"
Gao Hongchang also advised: "Secretary, don't worry, no one knows about this place, the boss and Mr. Xia are good friends. Yemu Capital also has shares in the Cui family, and it will not be spread. Besides, Mr. Xia is not an outsider. .”
Xia Ye saw Xu Yan. He was seven feet tall, with slender eyes and a gentle smile that could not hide his intimidating power.
Only people who have been in high positions for a long time can have such an aura!
