Cathy recovered quickly, and then quickly took over Zhu Yu's new fixed assets and integrated them.
She also discussed it with Zhu Yu. In view of Bundy's incident, during this integration, Cathy planned to sort out the assets under Zhu Yu's name to avoid similar things happening again.
Zhu Yu agreed, but his mind was already taken away by another thing.
"Silicon Valley Bank is bankrupt?" When Robert sent the news to Zhu Yu, Zhu Yu didn't feel anything special. "What does it have to do with me? My money doesn't exist with them."
When Zhu Yu said this, Robert was stunned for a moment, and then he realized:
"I'm not reminding you to withdraw money, you won't get it even if you withdraw it. I want to tell you that there are a few people from China who deposited their money in Silicon Valley Bank, and now it has been wasted.
When these people came from China, they not only brought money but also some things. Now that the money is gone, they want to sell things to make some money..."
Zhu Yu understood instantly.
At that time, many people in China were doing it, some legally and some illegally. Of course, some people escaped and were not captured. If too much money is taken away and stored in the wrong place, it will not be easy to continue living a life of debauchery in the future.
Some people, like those treasures that I opened the container before, came from China secretly to seek personal gain with power.
They will keep these things as a deposit at the bottom of the box, and then sell the items when necessary, or - donate them.
Someone once did this, and millions of people in the country reviled it, but they didn't care at all.
They are already so selfish, so how can they care about the scolding of those who have nothing to do with them.
"Oh? What do they want to sell?" Zhu Yu asked.
"Antiques are mainly Chinese antiques."
"This is okay... I can take a look." Zhu Yu said without saying anything, "If it's really good, I can buy it."
"Okay, I will send your phone number to the other party." Robert said, and Zhu Yu agreed.
Zhu Yu is really interested. After all, his money is relatively easy to come by, and he also earns money from foreigners. Being able to exchange this money for domestic cultural relics can be regarded as earning money and spending it where it should be spent.
It's just that he didn't expect that some people are just cheap. Instead of doing good business, they insist on doing something disgusting.
This is a later story.
After making an agreement with Robert, Zhu Yu told Cathy about the matter and planned to ask Cathy to make an appointment with him first to see the possibility of doing business.
Cathy was delighted to have this opportunity and contacted him.
"The other party said that this batch of cultural relics is more numerous and of higher quality, so he hopes to meet and discuss with you in person." After chatting with the other party, Cathy reported to Zhu Yu, "I told the other party that you are also from China, and the other party His expression is a little weird..."
Zhu Yu had a vague feeling.
Many of the people who come here just want to enjoy an undisturbed and unrestrained life.
But some of them are used to kneeling and licking. I heard that the partner they are cooperating with is Chinese, so it’s hard to say what the other party’s thoughts have changed.
Zhu Yu's guess was somewhat correct - just as Cathy was reporting to him, in another villa in New York, a Chinese man was arranging matters with his female assistant:
"Tomorrow, keep the batch of things you originally brought over to see, and take out ten items from warehouse No. 2 and bring them with you."
The female assistant gasped and asked while dealing with the man's constantly intruding hands:
"Boss, aren't there items in Warehouse No. 2 that experts have said are of doubtful authenticity? Take them there. What if they are discovered?"
"I've asked about it." The boss continued to dig deeper without any intention of stopping, "The buyer is just a bumpkin, who somehow got so lucky that he found the treasure and made a fortune.
This time he wanted to buy some Chinese cultural relics - what could he see with his young eyesight? Do not worry! "
The assistant no longer cared about whether he was worried or not, and after a while, he fell into despair.
The two parties made an appointment to meet at a hotel. This is also normal - when the two parties meet for the first time, no one believes the other, so let's go to a place where both parties believe more.
The hotel has a meeting room specifically for people to negotiate. The place booked by Robert's people has a conference room where things can be put on display.
When Zhu Yu arrived with Ran Jie, the other party had not arrived yet.
Originally, he planned to ask Cathy to come over, but after hearing that the other party was originally from China, Zhu Yu simply asked Ran Jie to follow him.
Five minutes after the agreed time, the other party arrived late.
A middle-aged Chinese man, dressed like a successful person - that is, in a suit and leather shoes, with his hair combed meticulously.
There were three people following him, a beautiful female assistant, two bodyguards, and two boxes.
Seeing that Zhu Yu had already sat down, the other party smiled politely:
"I'm really sorry. There's a traffic jam on the road. I'm sorry... is it you?"
Zhu Yu had already figured out that this guy was actually No. 18 at the auction!
This is embarrassing!
Zhu Yu looked at No. 18 with a half-smile but said nothing.
He was actually a little angry before - logically, the other party was short of money and begged him to buy something!
The other party is actually late? What is this concept?
You look down on yourself!
Zhu Yu keenly caught the hint of country bumpkin in the eyes of No. 18 when he looked at Zhu Yu.
"Mr. Zhu, right? Hello, hello." No. 18 responded quickly, "My dear Zhong Yan, I am very happy to cooperate with our compatriots. It was a misunderstanding at the auction house before, it was really a misunderstanding."
Zhong Yan sat down and waved his hands. His two bodyguards placed the two boxes on the conference table, opened them, and turned to face Zhu Yu.
Zhong Yan pointed to the two boxes and said:
"Mr. Zhu, this is a very rare thing. Take a look. It is no exaggeration to say it is priceless... It not only has high appreciation value, but also has high research value."
When he made this call, he didn't give Zhu Yu any time to react.
Zhu Yu thought to himself that this guy was indeed a master at diverting attention. After doing this, if he was facing an ordinary person, after seeing what was in the box, his original thoughts of launching an attack to investigate the crime would have been diverted.
Unfortunately, he was facing Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu glanced at the contents of the box.
The contents of the two boxes are different. In the box on the left, there are ancient jades, jade congs, jade huangs and jade walls, which look very simple and elegant.
In the box on the right are two pieces of bronze, one is a bronze plate, and the other is a bronze sword with bird seal inscriptions engraved on the blade.
The copper plate has obvious patina, but the bronze sword body is very clean, with no rust visible.
"Mr. Zhu, what do you think? My sincerity is enough, right?" Zhong Yan said with a proud smile:
“If these things were placed in a museum in China, they would be treasures in any museum. I also like them very much.
If it weren't for the current problems surrounding funding, I would never have been able to take these things out..."
"Are these crappy things the treasure of the museum? Do you have any misunderstanding about the treasure of the museum, or do you think that I am young and have poor eyesight?" Zhu Yu suddenly slapped the table and said angrily:
"I sincerely come here to make a deal with you. Do you think I can't cure you when you come up with such useless things to trick me?"
"What do you mean?" Zhong Yan's face changed when Zhu Yu said this, "What kind of crap? This is something that has an expert's appraisal certificate and is a genuine thing. Don't talk nonsense!"
As he said this, Zhong Yan pulled out a few appraisal certificates from the box and slapped them in front of Zhu Yu's face angrily.
Zhu Yu didn't even look at it, and said with a sneer:
"Do you need me to explain to you what kind of virtues a large part of domestic treasure appraisal experts have? If this thing works, then the jade in the domestic market will really be worth your money!"
"Zhu, what do you mean?" Zhong Yan didn't expect Zhu Yu to see the problem at a glance, but he knew that he couldn't lose his momentum at this time:
"Although I am short of money now, I will not let anyone humiliate me! I brought all these things from China, and they are really good things!
If you want to lower the price, we can discuss it, but if you want to tell a lie, I won't allow it! "
"Haha!" Zhu Yu stood up, pointed at Zhong Yan and said: "Zhong, don't pretend to be ignorant! Since you dare to tease me like this, I will let you know the consequences of offending me.
In fact, I also understand, don’t you just think that I am a Chinese and you are Gao Hua, and you are a head above me, so you can easily control me? If you think so, you are really making the wrong calculation!
Although I haven't seen many people like you, I can still see the virtue in your bones! "
Zhu Yu took out his mobile phone and dialed a number to Robert:
"Robert, the guy you introduced is unreasonable and lied to me with fake goods. I think you can spread this news in the circle. I don't want anyone to be fooled again, and I don't want such a person to appear and corrupt us Chinese people." reputation."
As soon as the call came, Zhong Yan panicked!
He really felt that Zhu Yu was a Chinese, young, easy to handle, and his eyesight must not be good. As soon as he laid out the things and placed the expert's appraisal certificate, the other party naturally took a look at it.
I just didn't expect that the other party actually understood his thoughts, made his thoughts public at lightning speed, and let that Robert spread the news in the circle!
Will he still hang out in the future?
He suddenly stood up:
"Zhu, don't push yourself too far! If you buy it, buy it. If you don't buy it, don't buy it. Are you ruining my reputation? Let me tell you, I'm not scared! My reputation can't be ruined by just one word!
But what you did broke the rules! Let me tell you, if you buy these things now, I will be fine. Otherwise, I will make it impossible for you to survive in this circle! Young people, don't be too crazy! "
Zhu Yu glanced at him contemptuously, then dialed another number. After the phone was connected, he said:
"Mr. Smith, I have something to tell you. The No. 18 we met at the auction earlier is a Chinese named Zhong Yan. Oh, he should be a beautiful Chinese by now.
He sold me fake antiques - I think you can talk about this in your circle of friends. I don't want such people to ruin the reputation of the Chinese people. "
As soon as he said these words, Zhong Yan's expression immediately changed!
Robert was not well-known, so Zhong Yan found him as an intermediary, and he did not want to publicize the matter.
So even if he does publicize it, the scope of influence will not be large.
But that Smith was different - he was a very famous appraiser in the New York antique circle!
Zhu Yu was already ready to leave. He looked at Zhong Yan and said again:
"You come out and want to be treated like a dog by others. It's none of my business. But now that you've come out, you want to be treated like a dog by others, and you also want to show off in front of me. It's really disgusting -"
After speaking, Zhu Yu left.
This incident made Zhu Yu disgusted, and he didn't care at first.
After getting in the car, Ran Jie did not start the car. He thought deeply for a while before telling Zhu Yu:
"This guy is a corrupt criminal - originally Zhong Wuqiang embezzled 500 million yuan and fled overseas. He has not been caught yet..."
Zhu Yu didn't expect Ran Jie to know this. He only realized now that when he was talking to Zhong Yan earlier, Ran Jie seemed to have been thinking about something.
Finally got it.
"How many hundreds of millions have been embezzled?" Zhu Yu now feels that this guy should have more than that.
In other words, it turns out that there are so many, but in fact there are more than that!
Moreover, this guy must have real antiques on his hands, Zhu Yu immediately became interested!
Zhu Yu feels really at ease when it comes to these guys' money!
Ran Jie felt Zhu Yu's thoughts, and he immediately said:
"Boss, do you want to move?"
"Don't worry, let Dalong check the details of this person." Zhu Yu was more cautious, "Maybe we can use a better way to pry out his things and money!"
Zhu Yu believed that Zhong, who was so eager to sell things, must be short of money.
Then spread the news yourself, and this guy will come back to you sooner or later - if his reputation is bad, others may not do business with him.
Next, it is best to use a blunt knife to cut the flesh - to deal with such a person, taking his things away at once will not cause him too much pain.
But the feeling of cutting off his flesh with a knife was the most painful for him.
And Zhu Yu felt that such a person deserved such treatment.
Zhu Yu's guess was correct.
After Zhong Yan returned, he said to his female assistant:
"This kid is really crazy, but he just talks about being crazy. Our stuff is good, so it will definitely be sold. As long as we persist through this period, we can live a good life again. "
The words were spoken to the female assistant, but they were actually trying to make her feel better.
However, what happened next made him realize the power of Zhu Yu's two phone calls.
In order to get the money back as soon as possible, Zhong Yan called two businessmen who had expressed interest in his things after returning.
However, the other party said that he was not interested in his things for the time being.
Zhong Yan was a little dumbfounded.
Are that boy's words really so useful?
