Chapter 180 Another Invitation

Chapter 180. Another invitation

Ye Shiyun's guess was right. After Ren Ping left, he called a car to a tea bar in the city center, and what he wanted to meet was the mysterious woman he met not long ago, Wang Pei.

She was wearing a semi-casual, semi-business suit today, with black trousers on the lower body and loose light yellow tulle long sleeves on the upper body. Compared with the first time we met, she looked more capable.

When Ren Ping walked into the tea bar, he saw her sitting in the corner by the window, sipping tea while looking at the autumn scenery outside the window, giving people a feeling of extraordinarily tranquility.

What makes this feeling a bit jarring is that this woman is obviously very young, but her speech and behavior seem to be much more mature than her peers, and she has an exotic mixed-race face. In this typical oriental atmosphere, In the film, it is inevitable that people will feel out of play.

When Wang Pei saw that he had arrived, he waved his hand and asked Ping'er to pour a cup of tea and hand it over.

"Junshan Yinzhen, this is my favorite tea. I wonder if Mr. Ren can get used to it?"

"I don't know much about tea ceremony, which is ridiculous."

Ren Ping raised his teacup and drank it down in one gulp. He didn't know what to say when he finished drinking, but Ping'er watched him mockingly.

The two sides have a sense of sympathy for each other, but after all, they have not known each other for a long time, and they see each other as mysterious characters, so it is inevitable that they will be a little cold.

It wasn't until a moment later that they looked at each other and smiled. Wang Pei put down the teacup in his hand and said first:
"I have a few questions that I don't understand. I wonder if Mr. Ren is willing to enlighten me?"

"Please say."

"That day in Yongrongzhai, with Mr. Ren's ability, there were many ways to win, so why did he choose to use this tragic gamble of being destroyed together?"

"It's very simple. Knock on the mountain to shock the tiger and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

Ren Ping said without hesitation.

Wang Pei hummed, and seemed not surprised by the answer:
"As far as I know, more than half a year ago, Mr. Ren's father was conspired by others in a business competition and eventually jumped to his death. So they are the tigers and monkeys that Mr. Ren wants to scare?"

Mr. Ren nodded, thinking that many of his colleagues had voluntarily dismissed the former Ren workers in recent days, and felt quite alarmed. At least the step of killing the chickens to scare the monkeys was done.

What surprised him was Wang Pei. In just a few days, she had already grasped her details so clearly. The system's evaluation of Zhiyunzhai as "especially good at finding out information in the industry" was indeed true.

"That's no wonder, as long as Mr. Ren is not a pervert."

"What?" Ren Ping was taken aback.

Wang Pei didn't answer but instead asked, "Does Mr. Ren want to know about You Zhengxing's news these days?"

"Of course he won't give up willingly, and maybe he wants to jump up and down and struggle, but with the black background of squeezing the workers, with Qu Zhinong as a person, Tiangong Street will definitely not tolerate him,"

"The matter of the gambling game that day is still kept secret. Once I reveal it and make public the details of how he lost to me, it will be more difficult for him to gain a foothold in the industry, so I will not worry about this person anymore."

"That's right. With Yongrongzhai's wealth, he actually lost out to the few pieces of porcelain that Mr. Ren bought temporarily. Based on this alone, You Zhengxing will never be able to stand out in the industry,"

Wang Pei obviously agreed with Ren Ping's judgment, and smiled:

"It seems that I was worrying too much. Mr. Ren is well-informed, and I don't need to remind him at all, but I still want to say one more thing. It is better to use less gambling methods like jade and stone in the future. It is easy to cause colleagues to attack In short, especially after arriving in the capital."

"How do you know I'm going to the capital?"

Ren Ping's eyebrows twitched.

"Guess, don't you want to go to the Tianyantong-Shanhe Baojian competition that will be re-launched at the end of the year?"

Without waiting for him to answer, Wang Pei said to himself:
"Don't blame me for being long-winded. The collection market in all parts of China is quite prosperous now, and Nanling is also considered one of the best, but compared to the capital, it is nothing,"

"Because of this, there are a lot of collectors of the older generation gathered there. Whether the concept in their minds is traditional or rigid, in short, it is the worst thing for people in the industry to use collections as a tool for interest exchange,"

"If you let them know that you have ruined porcelain worth tens of millions in this gamble, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along in the capital circle in the future."

Knowing that she was kindly reminding her, Ren Ping nodded in agreement, and then smiled slightly:
"Is it time for me to ask Miss Wang?"

Wang Pei didn't react, and was taken aback for a while: "Say it."

"What is your purpose in coming to Nanling? To deal with Yongrongzhai?"

"No, to be honest, an opportunistic character like You Zhengxing is not qualified for us to deal with him specially."

"He deliberately spread rumors, calling it the 'Four Great Fasts', you don't care?"

"What's the matter, no matter how many fasts, they are all for laymen or people who are half-baked. In the eyes of real industry insiders, it is clear at a glance which company has a strong foundation and which one is strong in the outside world, including Zhiyunzhai. The same is true, there are many collectors of the older generation who do not agree with it."

"It seems that Ms. Wang really isn't from Zhiyunzhai."

Ren Ping remembered that she had said some ambiguous words a few days ago, and felt that although this woman had a close connection with Zhiyunzhai, she was not one of them.

There must be a bigger backer behind her, but they've only known each other for a short time, so it's hard to ask directly.

"Although I don't belong to Zhiyunzhai, you still have to help them get the favor for you to sweep away the fly You Zhengxing,"

Wang Pei arched his hands, and said with a smile:

"Back to the topic, didn't you ask me the purpose of this trip? You can also guess."

"Miss Wang just said, besides the competition at the end of the year, what else is there? Are you here to do some pre-selection like many other forces in the industry?"

"Haha! Mr. Ren is really a smart person, he guessed right! But it's not a selection, but a cooperation. I don't want to talk nonsense. Two months later, Zhiyunzhai and I will invite Mr. Ren to participate in the capital competition. How about it?"

"With Mr. Ren's accomplishments in the field of porcelain, at least there is no problem entering the inner round."

After saying this, Wang Pei looked at Ren Ping with piercing eyes.

Ren Ping didn't answer for a while, remembering that the news about this competition had become more and more popular recently, he didn't even need to guess just now, he knew Wang Pei's real purpose logically.

It is said that the scale of the event will be unprecedentedly large, and the elites of the industry will gather together. Therefore, the major forces will either step up the selection of talents, or find someone like Wang Pei to cooperate with. The stronger their own strength, the greater the chance of winning.

Ren Ping felt that he didn't have a deep understanding of the industry in the capital, and wanted to find someone to lead the way, but he had already received two recommended jade plaques, one was from Mr. Lian Yuquan, the dean of Guquan, and the other was from Yan Jiang, the director of the Porcelain Academy of the National Museum. of.

In addition, Rong Qiancheng was also promised to participate in the selection of the "Arhat Club" within the Spring and Autumn League at the end of this month. With the addition of Zhi Yunzhai and an unidentified Wang Pei, there seemed to be a little more people involved.

While hesitating, Wang Pei got a little anxious and grabbed his wrist:

"Please, Mr. Ren! I am confident that as long as we join forces, at least in the category of porcelain, we will never lose!"
