Chapter 619 The Baby Is Lost
In mid-November, the temperature drops more obviously, the lowest temperature has dropped to below zero, and the small north wind is blowing, making people shiver. Only the occasional women in stockings can make people feel warm It can be regarded as a rare bright spot of this season.

It's already late autumn, but the auction circle seems to have entered winter one step earlier. From the perspective of outsiders, the auction houses are silent and seem to be hibernating, but only insiders know the harshness of winter.

In fact, since Huaigu Art Auction Company announced the list of the second round of custom-made antiques, the entire auction circle has fallen into a trough. It's not that they don't want to do business, or that they don't have good treasures, but that no one pays attention at all. When it comes to them, no one cares, because even the best treasures are rubbish in front of custom-made antiques.Cheap antiques cannot be auctioned, and expensive antiques are not bought, so everyone can only stand still. This is the current situation of major auction houses.

However, employees need to pay wages, the office needs to pay rent, plus various water and electricity costs, it is definitely a big expense. Some people say that if you tighten your belt and stick to it, you will get through it, but if you can persist for one month, two months Can you persist, three or four months?Rather than waiting endlessly, it is better to close the doors as soon as possible. Therefore, a wave of closing doors was set off in the auction circle, just like the Siberian cold current, sweeping the entire auction circle, making people feel the cold winter in advance.

Feeling this wave of cold, there are also people from Wantong Auction House.

At this moment, the entire copper coin building was enveloped in a tense and depressive atmosphere. Everyone was trembling, as if they were facing an abyss, and they sat quietly in their seats. The toilet has to be simmering, testing the capacity of everyone's bladder.

In the general manager's office, Zheng Tong, who has always shown a gentle and radiant image, has a cold face at this moment, as if a layer of frost has formed on her face. The twenty or so people standing in front of her are all directors of various departments of the company. Well, the entire management of Wantong Auction Company gathered here today, which is very rare in normal times.

"Who can tell me what's going on?" Zheng Tong gritted his teeth and looked at everyone present with cold eyes. "Why are the antiques stored in the vault lost?"

After hearing this, everyone chose to be silent. No one spoke, but the person standing at the front looked ashen and bloodless. He was the supervisor in charge of the vault. Naturally, he was the most responsible for the loss of the antiques, but the problem was that he also I don't know how to get the antiques in the vault.

"Director Han, do you think you can get away without talking?" Seeing that no one spoke, Zheng Tong could only ask by name.

"Mr. Zheng, I really don't know why the antiques are lost." Han Jiang said with a bitter face, "The bag containing the antiques has always been there, and within the scope of surveillance, no one has ever touched it. I doubted it before. Someone edited and spliced ​​the surveillance video, but after it was sent to the authoritative department for inspection, it proved that the video had not been deleted.”

"Then tell me, why did the antique suddenly disappear?"

"I, I really don't know. Mr. Zheng, I have been in charge of the vault for so many years. When did I lose an antique? When did I lie to you?"

"I believe in you, so I have the patience to listen to your explanation here."

Han Jiang even wanted to die, but he knew very well that if he really died, it would be even more impossible to prove his innocence. "Mr. Zheng, only employees of our company can enter the vault. It is impossible for outsiders, let alone thieves. Otherwise, only one piece of gold ingot will be lost. That gold ingot is not big, so it is easy to hide. You can use your body as a cover to take out the gold ingots in the cloth bag and hide them on your body. I suggest that employees who have entered and exited the vault be questioned and body-searched throughout the company."

"Do you know when you lost it?" Zheng Tong asked.

"I don't know." Han Jiang shook his head. If he knew, the gold ingot would not be lost.

"Since you don't know, how can you be sure that the gold ingot has not been transferred out of the company?"

"Then let's call the police, the police must have a solution." Han Jiang said anxiously.

"Stupid!" Zheng Tong scolded bluntly, not caring that the other party was two rounds older than her, "Do you want everyone in the industry to see our jokes? The antiques we temporarily kept in Wantong are lost, who else will entrust Wantong to auction the antiques? You are trying to smash Wantong's signboard."

Although the gold ingots are not worth much, only a million or so, the matter itself is very bad. This not only shows that there are thieves in the company, but also shows that the company's storage measures are not sound. If this matter is not investigated clearly, then the thief They will use this loophole to continue stealing. At that time, it will not be as simple as losing an antique. The thief will use the vault as a bank, and come to get it when there is no money.

Han Jiang was scolded with no temper, but he was so full of anger that he had nowhere to vent it. He could only curse the antique thief in his heart, don't let me catch you, or he will have to pick you up The skin is not good.

"Mr. Zheng, what should we do now? All the employees of the company already know about this matter. If someone spreads the word..." a vice president asked.

"What? You know? Who told them?" Zheng Tong asked with his eyes wide open. There are hundreds of employees in the company. Even if one person speaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Hearing Zheng Tong's questioning, one person lowered his head deeply, while other supervisors around him looked at this person in unison. Perhaps feeling the gazes from his colleagues, this person sneaked a few glances left and right, and then slowed down. Slowly raised his head, looked at Zheng Tong and said in a low voice, "Yes, it was me, I gave the order, but I was also worried that the thief would transfer the gold ingots out of the company after he found out, so... Zheng Tong In short, I am also doing it for the good of the company."

"Tang Xu, you are just the supervisor of the auction department. Who gives you the power to give orders to all employees in the company?" Zheng Tongqi's forehead was bulging, his eyes were even redder, and his cold expression seemed to be eating people. Like a vampire, she was a far cry from her usual glorious image of the Virgin.

Tang Xu trembled and dared not speak. Originally, he was proud of his ability to respond to emergencies and was waiting to be praised by the general manager, but who would have thought that instead of being praised, he would be reprimanded instead.

"Vice President Feng, go and inform all the employees, and say that it was just a misunderstanding, and let everyone continue to do what they should do." Zheng Tong looked at the company's deputy general manager and said, and the deputy general manager heard Zheng Tong's words , took a hard look at Tang Xu, thinking that you shit, and I have to wipe your ass, and you will wait for me in the future, and I will have your little shoes to wear.

"Yes, Mr. Zheng." The deputy general manager Feng left.

Although Zheng Tong looked at another person and said, "Director Yu, the lost gold ingot should belong to your coin department, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, the lost gold ingot is the gold ingot that was leaked by someone that was circulated a few days ago. After many efforts, the people in our coin department found the person who was leaked and persuaded that person to take the gold ingot. The ingot was entrusted to Wantong."

"Okay, you contact the consignor immediately and say that someone has taken a fancy to his gold ingot and is willing to pay 200 million to buy it, and ask him if he agrees to cancel the auction and sell the gold ingot to this person. If he is willing, he can immediately sell the 200 million Wan into his account. In short, buy this gold ingot at all costs." Zheng Tong said expressionlessly.

Naturally, such a big loss of gold ingots cannot be told to the client. The compensation is small, but it is big to spread the news, and it is undoubtedly the best way to settle the client with money. At the same time, Zheng Tong couldn't help but feel lucky that it was a If the gold ingots of low value are worth tens of millions, then the company will really suffer heavy losses.

"Yes, Mr. Zheng."

"Director Han, you don't know friends from the public security system anymore. You asked your friends to investigate this matter in the name of a private person. Remember, it's not calling the police, and you can't file a case. It's just a personal help."

"Yes!"

"Others should pay close attention to their employees. Once they find suspicious people, don't startle them, and report to me immediately, understand?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's all go out."

Everyone in the management team breathed a sigh of relief, but when they just opened the door to go out, they saw Deputy General Manager Feng who had left earlier came back in a hurry with a serious look on his face.

"Mr. Zheng, it's not good. The client of the gold ingot has come to our company."

When everyone heard this, they stopped in their tracks, and the client actually came?It's true that the leak in the house happens to rain all night, and the boat is late and encounters the headwind.However, the loss of the gold ingot was only discovered an hour ago. Even if the news got out, the client couldn't have come so soon.

"Don't panic, calm down." Zheng Tong said, while she clenched her fists tightly, resisting the panic in her heart, and asked, "Do you know the purpose of the client's coming to the company?"

"I heard from the employee who received the consignor that he heard that other auction companies had lost items, so he came to our company to see if the gold ingots are still there..."

"This, isn't this a coincidence?" Supervisor Han said.

"It's not a coincidence. A few days ago, it was indeed rumored that Shanhai Auction House lost a purple gold-glazed Ding kiln plum vase. As for whether this is true or not, no one from Shanhai came forward to respond." Deputy General Manager Feng said.

"I know about this." Director Han said with a blushing face, "Actually, I also heard about this, so I thought about checking the antiques today. Who would have thought that I would..." At the end, I felt embarrassed. Because when he heard that Shanhai lost the antiques, he laughed at Shanhai Auction House.

Zheng Tong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and looked at Director Yu who hadn't left yet, and said, "Director Yu, go to receive the client immediately, according to what I just told you."

"Yes." Yu Yang left the general manager's office in a hurry. He first returned to the department, brought Xiao Zhang, the employee who persuaded the client, and then came to the company's reception room.

"Master." Xiao Zhang said enthusiastically immediately after entering, "Don't call me before you come, so I can pick you up." After speaking, he served tea and poured water, "Master, the company's tea Generally, you just make do with it, and I’ll treat you to a good tea outside some other day.” When he was in the elevator, the supervisor had already told him about someone wanting to buy an old man’s antiques, and what he had to do today was to quickly close the deal.

"I also made a temporary decision to see how the baby is doing." The old man said after hearing it.

"Master, just put your baby at ease if you let us here." Xiao Zhang said with a smile.

"I was quite relieved at first, but when I was eating out early this morning, I heard someone say that an auction house had been stolen and a very valuable treasure was lost. My heart was pounding all the time, and I happened to be driving by here. So come up and take a look." The old man said.

After Yu Yang heard this, he winked at Xiao Zhang repeatedly, but Xiao Zhang nodded calmly, then looked at the old man and said, "Master, then you have to listen carefully, not only is your treasure not lost, but I also have one more." I have great things to tell you."

"What a great thing?"

"It's like this, aren't we going to promote your baby? Someone has taken a fancy to your baby and is willing to bid 200 million yuan to buy it. In order to maximize your interests, our company is preparing to contact you, uncle, and if you agree, the other party will transfer the money directly to your account."

"There is such a thing?" The old man was surprised.

"Master, are you very happy?" Xiao Zhang asked with a smile.

"It's only been a few days, and someone is willing to pay 200 million?"

"Yes!"

"So, there is room for that gold ingot to appreciate in value. If so, I should auction it off."

When Yu Yang heard this, his face turned green immediately, thinking that this old man is too greedy, right? 200 million is still not enough?You must know that the price of that gold ingot is only 60 million.

"Master, you misunderstood." Yu Yang said, "It's not that your gold ingot still has room for appreciation, but that the person who paid the money likes this gold ingot very much, even if it exceeds the value of the gold ingot itself, he is willing After buying it, and our company felt that three or four months might be too long for you, so we negotiated with that person, and the other party agreed to buy it for 200 million."

The uncle looked suspicious, first looked at Xiao Zhang, then at Yu Yang, and then said, "You say that, as if I owe you a favor, but at the beginning Xiao Zhang told me that if the gold ingot was taken Go to the auction, easily pass 200 million, do you want to buy my gold ingot for 200 million, and then sell it at a high price? I am not stupid, old man. "

Yu Yang was taken aback, easily over 200 million?Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?He couldn't help but stare at Xiao Zhang, but Xiao Zhang had a look of grievance on his face. In order to let the consignor hand over the treasure to the company for auction, it's normal to brag properly. ?Now that the competition in the auction business is so fierce, why would someone hand over the treasure to you if you don’t brag about it?
"Master, tell me, how much are you willing to sell?" Yu Yang asked patiently.

"My gold ingot is so popular, why can't it cost 500 million?" The old man said loudly, and stretched out five fingers.

"What? 500 million? Why don't you grab it?" Yu Yang said bluntly.

"I'm not happy to hear what you said. What is robbing? Obviously you asked me, okay?" The old man said angrily, "Hmph, if you want to buy it, I won't sell it. Wait until the auction There are times when you regret the high price in the online auction. By the way, quickly take out my treasure, I don’t want to talk nonsense with you.”

Yu Yang was at a loss for words, take it out?
It's all lost, where can I get it?
