The leisurely life of the rich start

"Sorry, I have to keep it a secret until the deal is done."

Otis said cautiously, "You know, this is our practice rule."

"You cunning vampire."

Xi Mang scolded with a smile, "Anyway, you never let yourself suffer."

Otis shrugged and said, "Old man, I didn't let you suffer."

"That's right." Ximang said, "However, these cultural relics from Huaguo are really valuable."

"Hua people are always willing to pay high prices to buy back cultural relics from their own country."

Otis said, "Did you forget? At Christie's auction last year, a painting that could not be distinguished from the real and the fake was sold for $7000 million."

"Are you talking about Su Shi's "Wood and Stone Picture"? I have also heard of it."

Ximang laughed loudly, "You're right, Chinese people will repurchase their own cultural relics regardless of the cost."

"I plan to send the dragon head to the auction after a few years of playing. I will make a lot of money at that time, and then use the money to buy more Huaguo cultural relics and earn more money." money."

"Sounds like a lucrative deal," Otis said.

"Of course, a lot of money."

Ximang lay comfortably on the back of the chair, "I said, haven't you caught any fish yet?"

Otis said casually, "I don't seem to be having much luck tonight."

...

After 13 hours.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! Mr. Tang is in the fifth round of negotiations with the Black Rock Group, so he sent me to pick up the plane."

At the New York airport at 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Da met Tang Haitao's deputy, Zhang Zhi.

"Hello, thank you!" Zhang Da shook hands with him, and then introduced, "This is my girlfriend Cheng Mingming, and the next few are appraisal experts sent by the Yuanmingyuan Management Office."

"Nice to meet you."

Zhang Zhi said with a smile, "We have already arranged a bus, and we will send you to the hotel immediately."

In the evening, Zhang Da invited Tang Haitao to the suite for a small meeting.

Cheng Mingming and Deputy Director Zhang were also in the meeting.

Xiao Cheng simply listened in, and Deputy Director Zhang, as a representative of the administration, came to know when the appraisal work would start.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Otis agrees, let our personnel conduct the identification of the snake head tomorrow."

After Tang Haitao reported to Zhang Da, he said to Deputy Director Zhang,

"Mr. Otis, he is the head of the transaction of the Black Rock Group."

"Oh, I see!"

Deputy Director Zhang said, "What's the specific time?"

"It can start at 9:[-] am tomorrow." Tang Haitao said, "If the experts still need to rest, we can also request to postpone the start of the appraisal."

"No need to rest!" Deputy Director Zhang said quickly, "Everyone can't wait!"

"Okay." Tang Haitao nodded, looked at Zhang Da and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Da said, "Then let's start at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Deputy Director Zhang stood up and shook hands with Zhang Da. "I'll go back and make preparations for the appraisal. You should rest early."

He knew that when Tang Haitao talked about the appraisal at the beginning, he obviously put the business matters behind.

That being the case, he will not stay here to "get in the way".

Zhang Da stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, Director Zhang, you too, go to bed early."

"Hey, see you tomorrow."

After Deputy Director Zhang left, Tang Haitao said:

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Otis has not yet offered an offer for the animal head. But in today's negotiation, he seems very confident."

"It seems that he is 100% convinced that the beast head is real."

"Let's talk about it after the appraisal results come out." Zhang Da smiled, "In short, I'm ready to be slaughtered."

"I'm afraid I can't escape." Tang Haitao smiled wryly, "However, I will try my best to get some other conditions."

"No problem, just play by ear." Zhang Da said, "Although I'm here, the person in charge of this negotiation is still in charge of you, Mr. Tang."

"Later, I will issue the same instructions to Zhang Zhi and Xu Tianze."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your trust!" Tang Haitao got up and said, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Don't be nervous, you've done a good job!"

Zhang Da said with a smile, "I am quite satisfied to welcome back a beast head. As for the purchase of the team, let us do it ourselves!"

Tang Haitao said seriously: "Understood, Mr. Zhang! I will try my best to get the best negotiation result."

After that, the two spent nearly an hour chatting a lot about the details of the negotiation.

...

after the meeting.

Zhang Da found that Cheng Mingming was looking at him with admiration.

Zhang Da rubbed her face with a smile: "Hey, don't be like this, I know I'm handsome..."

"Smelly." Cheng Mingming knocked off his hand, "I just think that when you work hard, you can barely be considered attractive."

Zhang Da hugged her into his arms: "Is it just barely there?"

Cheng Mingming lowered his head and didn't look at him: "Now there's nothing left."

Zhang Da took off his coat.

It was his duty to revive masculinity.

Two hours later, the two lay on the bed panting.

"What are you thinking?"

Slapping off Zhang Dahulai's left hand, Cheng Mingming asked.

Zhang Da landed on the moon again with his left hand: "The moon abroad is clearly as round as the moon in China."

"rogue..."

...

the next morning.

A group of people entered the office building of the Black Rock Group in a mighty manner.

Otis had a hint of triumphant joy on his face: "Mr. Zhang, I finally see you!"

"Hi, Mr. Otis." Zhang Da smiled slightly, "Let's begin."

"Of course, the snake's head is in a secret room." Otis said confidently, "As long as the snake's head is not damaged, you can identify it at will."

"Even, with the security personnel following, I can ask you to take the animal head to a professional testing place for identification."

"Don't be so troublesome." Deputy Director Zhang said in English, "We can finish the work here."

After all, he took the toolbox from his assistant, and seemed to be ready to go into battle himself.

Zhang Da looked at him curiously.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang seemed to feel his gaze, turned around and said with a smile:

"Haha, I graduated from the History Department of Huaqing University!"

Chapter 251 Thank you Mr. Zhang

three days later.

Zhang Da saw Deputy Director Zhang with a smile on his face:

"Director Zhang, from your appearance, is the snake head genuine?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhang! Now it is almost certain that this snake head is the one in the Old Summer Palace."

Deputy Director Zhang laughed and said, "The expert team conducted several appraisals and concluded that they are all authentic. At the same time, we also compared the data of other animal heads with the snake heads, and the conclusions we reached are completely consistent. "

As he said that, he joked again: "Look, it can't be that the animal capital in China is a fake, right?"

Seeing that Deputy Director Zhang was so sure, Zhang Da nodded and said:

"Okay, then I'm relieved. You and all the experts have worked hard."

"Haha, why bother?" Deputy Director Zhang said with a smile, "With such a job, we wish we could do it every day."

After that, he put away his smile and said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Da said seriously: "Please tell me."

"The return of the snake head is a good thing, and the country will support you."

"I believe that you can buy this snake head at a relatively reasonable price."

"Thank you."

Zhang Da nodded solemnly.

After Deputy Director Zhang left, he invited Tang Haitao.

...

"Mr. Zhang, it seems that we will do a lot in the upcoming negotiations!"

After hearing the news relayed by Zhang Da, Tang Haitao said impatiently.

"Let's listen to Heiyan's quotation first." Zhang Da said, "If they really offer a sky-high price, we don't have to agree."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang." Tang Haitao said with a smile, "Now, I have the bottom line in my heart!"

So, when negotiations started again.

All three of Tang Haitao seemed confident.

In the conference room, John from the Black Rock Group talked eloquently: "Your side should be clear that the price of the snake's head is 7500 million US dollars, which should be a very suitable price."

"It is impossible for us to accept such an offer."

Zhang Zhi immediately said, "For this snake head, we only have a budget of 2000 million US dollars."

"The price is too low." Bob shook his head,

"The acquisition of this snake head alone cost the group more than 2000 million US dollars. It is impossible for us to do business at a loss."

Xu Tianze retorted: "Then please come up with a truly sincere offer, so that we can continue the negotiation."

Seeing the tough attitudes of Tang Haitao and the others, Otis instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Just at this time, secretary Amy whispered a few words beside him.

After listening to the secretary's report, Otis raised his eyebrows unobtrusively.

...

In the evening, as soon as the negotiations were over, he organized a meeting.

The left arm John said: "Boss, these Chinese people don't seem to be as easy to manipulate as we imagined."

"I'm worried that Chinese people will put pressure on public opinion."

The right-armed Bob said worriedly, "The previous auctions of animal heads have all been influenced by public opinion to a certain extent."

"Bob is right, boss." John nodded, "Maybe, we should make a quick decision."

Saying that, the two looked at Otis together.

Unexpectedly, Otis' attention was completely focused on the laptop in front of him.
