Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

"Brother Haisheng, why are you suddenly dealing with antiques? The news is very tense recently. If they are found, this batch of goods will be in trouble."

"I understand. Just follow the normal route and tell me the detailed route later. I will report it. No one will bother you."

Ajie on the other end of the phone was so shocked that he widened his eyes after hearing what Meng Haisheng said. He didn't know how to respond for a while.

Is Meng Haisheng so capable now?

He wants to ship something abroad, and he can get it done with just one phone call? This is too exaggerated.

"Brother Haisheng, have you confirmed that there is really no problem? July 1st is coming soon. Many people in Hong Kong Island have stopped all their work nervously and want to wait until after July 1st to see the specific situation."

"Whatever you want to do, do it with confidence. Nothing will happen in Hong Kong Island after July 1st that will affect your making money."

"Do you have inside information?" Ajie's voice was filled with a hint of urgency and curiosity.

"A little, but not much. You just need to know that the situation will be stable."

Ajie finally felt relieved. "Your words make me feel relieved. I have been restless during this period."

After receiving the task assigned by Meng Haisheng, Ajie did not dare to delay and immediately asked his subordinates to start working and arrange ships and routes.

He had done this kind of work countless times before, and it was easy for him to do it now. It took only two days to arrange everything.

In the distant Beijing, Meng Haisheng was also making intensive preparations. All the artworks were carefully packed and prepared to depart from Pengcheng, sent to Hong Kong Island by sea, and finally shipped to Mo Country by cargo ship.

When the artworks arrived in Pengcheng, Meng Haisheng called Lin Jinyan.

He gave a brief account of the matter, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

"Brother, please help me say hello. All the things I'm transporting are artworks. Tell them not to check. If they reveal the truth to me, it will be bad."

"You are really busy all day long. When did you think of the twelve zodiac animal heads?"

"I went to a cultural relic exhibition with my father some time ago. At that time, I thought it was a pity that the twelve zodiac animal heads were lost. July 1 is coming soon. If I can buy a few and donate them to the country, it will be a happy event."

"Haisheng, you are a businessman with conscience. Please send me the relevant information of the artworks in a while. I will take care of the rest for you."

"Thank you, brother."

Meng Haisheng hung up the phone happily. It's true that it's good to lean on a big tree for shade. With Lin Jinyan around, he doesn't need to be busy with many things.

Everything went according to Meng Haisheng's plan.

Momo and Song Xi were not idle either. The next day, they went to visit Tony Winston together. The bull head was in his hands.

Song Xi had already investigated Tony Winston's background and knew that he was short of money recently. That's why he decided to auction the ox head.

"Mr. Winston, 400,000 dollars is not a low price at all. The horse head was traded on the market two years ago, and it was only 250,000 dollars at that time. It is impossible to exceed 500,000 dollars in such a short time."

"After all, the ox head is a product of the Qing Dynasty, and its historical value is not very high. If you want 500,000 dollars, we really can't negotiate this price."

Song Xi argued with Tony Winston for half an hour, but he didn't cut the price down.

"Since you can't offer the price I want, I can only take it to the auction house and see how much it can be auctioned for in the end."

Tony Winston was holding on to the price, always feeling that he was holding a big antique in his hand, and he would never sell it for less than 500,000 dollars.

"Mr. Winston, you must have never participated in an auction before. It doesn't mean that you can sell this thing for whatever price you want."

"If I remember correctly, the starting price of the ox head is 100,000 dollars. If other merchants present are interested in the ox head, it is very likely that someone will buy it for hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you want to break the contract at that time, you will have to pay the auction house."

"Since the news that the ox head is going to be sold was released, has anyone taken the initiative to come to the door to buy the ox head?"

Song Xi's words directly stumped Tony Winston.

During this period, no one really came to ask him about the price of the ox head. Song Xi was the only one who asked about it.

"The horse head can be auctioned for 250,000 dollars. I believe that the ox head in your hand will definitely get a good price in the auction."

Momo, who was standing aside, saw that the price had not been negotiated, and said directly, "Mr. Winston, I just want to ask, do you like the ox head very much? Do you think it is a very beautiful antique?"

Tony Winston took a look at thatThe ox head, which was dull in color and even a little scary in appearance, shook his head.

"I can't appreciate it. I think this ox head is a bit ugly."

"Yes, a copper ox head looks too ordinary, and this is in Mexico. There are very few people who can appreciate the ox head."

"And as far as I know, most of the people at this auction are Mexicans, and I am the only businessman from China."

"Do you think it is possible that only we Chinese like ox heads? If I wait until the auction and offer you 160,000 dollars, I doubt whether anyone will follow the price."

"And the reason why I came here in person is that I don't like the atmosphere of the auction. Of course, if Mr. Tony Winston feels that the ox head can be sold for 500,000 dollars at the auction, then our conversation today ends here."

Momo stood up, her movements were elegant and firm, and her eyes revealed that she didn't want to waste time in this lengthy bargaining.

She knew very well that the man in front of her knew nothing about the rules of the auction house, and any more explanations would be in vain.

"Wait a minute, Miss Meng, let's talk about it. But the $400,000 you offered is too low." Winston's voice was a little anxious, as if he was unwilling to let go.

Momo turned around, her eyes calm and determined, "If Mr. Winston had two or three animal heads, I might consider raising the price, but for this one bull head, $400,000 is already the limit."

Winston seemed a little shaken by what Momo said. As a Mexican, he himself didn't like this bull head very much, and it was probably difficult for others to like it.

This bull head was not shipped from China, and he might think it was too expensive even if it was $1,000.

Faced with the $400,000 in cash that he could get immediately on the one hand and the uncertain result of the auction house on the other, Winston, who was extremely entangled, finally chose cash.

Only when the money is in hand, it is the most real. As for how much the auction house can sell it for, no one can predict.

Momo immediately wrote a check for $400,000 to Winston and left with the bull head.

As soon as she got in the car, she couldn't help but complain: "Why is this man so nagging? Sister Song is already talking until her mouth is dry, but he is still nagging and never stops."

"My princess, this involves hundreds of thousands of dollars after all, which is not a small amount for Winston. Given his family situation, he must fight for it vigorously."
