Chapter 191. Please enter the urn
Two days later, a bombshell exploded in the Nanling collection community:
A set of extremely precious hundred-character pictures has been circulated on the market, including five pictures of Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi, and Ruyi!
The power of this bomb is astonishing, but the scope of its impact is extremely small. Only a few people know about it. It is said that after the death of a top Nanling collector, the descendants found it from his relics.

Now the price of Baishoutu in the market has been rising all the way, and a complete set of Baizitu is even rarer in the world. As soon as the news spread, it immediately triggered competition, and the price went all the way to 5000 million.

By the time Liu Shitang received the news, it was a little late, but fortunately, at the last moment, he outbid all the others with a bidding price of nearly 500 million, and bought it from the children of the original owner.

On the second day after the deal was completed, news spread throughout the industry. Everyone knew that Liu Shitang from Shanglong Decoration had won a set of priceless hundred-character pictures.

For a time, there were a lot of rumors in the industry, and people were talking everywhere. Some said how precious these five hundred-character pictures were, but Liu Shitang got it for only 500 million, not losing at all, and even making a profit;
Some sighed regretfully, it was a pity that they did not receive the news in time, otherwise they would not have easily let him succeed;

Others contacted the Baishoutu series of furniture that Shanglong Decoration expects to launch in the near future. This project is used to compete with Ren's Wood Industry, and anyone with a discerning eye knows it.

This set of [-]-year-old pictures appeared just at this time, and it was God's help for Shanglong. For this, no matter how many people competed at that time, Shanglong Decoration would not hesitate to get it.

Today, everyone knows about the enmity between Shanglong Decoration and Ren's Wood, and most people also know that the real confrontation between the two parties is still in the mall.

Now that Ren's Wood has just launched the Baishoutu series of furniture, Shanglong Decoration has followed closely behind, and it is likely to catch up from behind. It seems that there will be a good show in the future.

"Young Master Tang, the appearance of these five characters is too coincidental. Is there any fraud in them?"

When there were rumors about Shanglong's decoration of the headquarters office, Secretary Cheng was also a little puzzled.

He knew that Liu Shitang was self-willed, and he especially didn't like his subordinates criticizing his decisions, but this coincidence was so suspicious that he couldn't help but speak out.

Liu Shitang was carefully appreciating the five hundred-character pictures with a magnifying glass, but he didn't reply when he heard the words. After a while, he finished reading word by word, and then sneered:
"What do you know? All the things in the collection circle have names and surnames, and their provenance can be checked. Do you think it's rotten cabbage on the street, and you can use it anytime you want to set a trap for others?"

"Of course I also wondered if the kid surnamed Ren set up a plan for me, used this thing to lure me into the bait, and even sent someone to check it out. Guess what?"

"What?" Secretary Cheng was puzzled.

"That kid hasn't been in Nanling recently. He went to other cities to contact the wood supply. Moreover, with his background, he doesn't have the ability to set up this situation."

"No such ability, why?"

"Haha, you don't understand this,"

Liu Shitang was very patient, and while looking at the hundred-character map in front of him, he explained:

"The original owner of these five characters is Mo Tan, a well-known local collector. This person is over 90 years old this year. He just passed away not long ago. His children discovered these five characters when they were sorting out their belongings,"

"At that time, it was transferred to the auction, and the person who took over was not an ordinary person. It was a well-known private auction house in Jiangning Province, called 'Blue Ink Bank',"

"This auction house is a very rare one that operates in private. It is said that it dares to auction anything, including some illegal and contraband items. Of course, the information of the auction items and bidders is also kept strictly confidential,"

"I heard that the kid surnamed Ren has a good relationship with the Spring and Autumn League, and I know that Lan Moxing and the nine masters of the Spring and Autumn League are deadly enemies."

"Think about it, in this case, could this be his arrangement? Even if it is, and the item is not in his hands, how would he know when the original owner passed away and when the children were auctioned off? ?”

After some detailed analysis, without flaws, Secretary Cheng nodded again and again, sincerely admiring his boss's thoughtfulness again.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he still felt that these five characters were twisted:

"Young Master Tang, why do I feel that these words seem to be newly written?"

"Yes, it's newly written."

"Would that be worth sixty-five million?"

Secretary Cheng was even more confused.

Liu Shitang let out a snort: "So what about the new ones? As far as I know, that ghost Mo Tan is especially fond of calligraphy collections, and knows a lot of great calligraphers in the world. What's so strange about asking someone to write a few calligraphy for me?"

"These five characters are all of everyone's demeanor and extremely high attainments. Maybe they were written by a certain master. Looking at it this way, 500 million is not expensive at all. In addition, our purpose is not just to collect, it is absolutely Earn it!"

Secretary Cheng knew that he was referring to the matter of using the Baishoutu series of furniture to deal with Ren Ping. Originally, they had prepared three pieces, thinking that they would overwhelm each other with financial resources and the market.

Now it seems that there is no need for it. The artistic attainments of this set of hundred-character pictures are far superior to those three pictures. This alone is a sure win!
"I understand, Young Master Tang. The factory and production line were ready a few days ago. I will order them to make furniture based on these five characters."

"Based on our foundation, there is absolutely no problem in rushing out a batch within half a month, and we have five words of blessing, fortune, longevity, happiness and wishfulness, and the one with the surname Ren only has one. We are sure to win."

After bowing and saluting, Secretary Cheng was about to prepare for the production. When he left the house, he suddenly thought of something and turned around:
"By the way, Mr. Tang, there is news about Li Ming recently. Are you still going to take action?"

Liu Shitang was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he was about to forget the name, and he snorted after a while:
"Of course, don't leave any trouble behind."

Immediately, he admired his spoils more and more proudly.

For several days after that, Shanglong Decoration continued to manufacture the Baizitu series of furniture day and night. The news was not blocked, but was openly publicized to the outside world.

Many people also heard that not only Shanglong Decoration, but also many other colleagues in the home improvement industry also helped to catch up with the work. The posture of joining forces to deal with Ren's again, coupled with the financial support of Jingyuan Group, is very powerful.

On the other hand, Ren's Wood Industry, since the launch of the Baishoutu series of furniture not long ago, although the market response has been good, the output is limited, and it is far from reaching the point of occupying the market, and has stopped production.

Recently, even the boss Ren Ping has left Nanling, not knowing what to do.

In short, for the battle between the two sides, most people are overwhelmingly optimistic about Shanglong Decoration, only a few people realize that something is wrong. The so-called sad soldiers must win, Shanglong Decoration is too strong, and Ren's Wood Industry is too low-key.

It's just that there are specific problems, but they can't imagine them out of thin air.

……

When the industry was bustling with excitement, Ren Ping was indeed not in Nanling, but came to a nearby suburban county.

The place is remote, away from the hustle and bustle, but the environment is extremely beautiful. At this time, he is sitting in a private villa by the river bank, enjoying the scenery and playing chess.

After playing a few games with Mei Hanxiao in the courtyard last time, he became more interested in Go, and the pleasure of laying out moves between vertical and horizontal made him quickly immersed in it.

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man of medium build, his face was sinking like water, he didn't say a word, and he couldn't help smiling after a few minutes:
"It's a good trick to invite you into the urn, which is good."

"Mr. Long laughed."

Ren Ping looked up at the other party, the familiar surname reminded him of the beautiful woman who left not long ago, but of course the opposite party was not Long Wei, but the first ancient martial arts master he had ever seen:
The king of fighting, Long Yan.
