Chapter 966 Ode to Joy?(2/2)

He pointed at the pair of gourd-shaped tiger talismans and said, "These are actually tiger talismans. I didn't expect that the tiger talisman is not tiger-shaped?"

"I'll go, one hundred million..., one hundred million... Really or not, fat man, you are a multi-millionaire."

"A treat, three big meals, no, ten big meals. Today I actually saw a multi-millionaire with my own eyes. It was exciting."

Xie Yu smiled and said: "A multi-millionaire is nothing in this Puhai Devil. Brother Guo, your house should cost at least 30 million to start with!"

Sun Guo: "What's 30 million? Some people offered 40 million, but that house can't be sold. The price is just for people to see."

"But this is cash. It's more than 10 million in cash. It's not 17.53 million. It's round and round. It's nearly 20 million, Zizhen!"

Xie Yu shook his head and said in peace: "Brother Guo, have you forgotten the handling fees, taxes, and agency fees?"

Sun Guo: "How much can it be? It's just a fraction!"

Xie Yu: "Hey, Brother Guo, what should I say? Maybe you are too well protected. Let me tell you a story."

Sun Guo "Fat man, you tell a story? Okay, tell it!"

Xie Yu: "There is a corrupt county magistrate who wants to be greedy for money. But after all the taxes have been collected, he still wants to take money from the people. He needs a reason."

"So, when the news spread that bandits were raging in the county, someone directed and staged it. The people believed it and demanded that the bandits be suppressed."

"To suppress bandits, we need money. For our own safety, people in the city donate money and materials. Sometimes they are famous local residents."

Sun Guo: "If there are no bandits, why are we suppressing them?"

Xie Yu continued: "It's not really about suppressing bandits, but the money is real, so the money will be divided between the corrupt county magistrate and Sanqi."

Sun Guo: "This corrupt official, who deceives the people, still gets 70% of the money."

Xie Yu: "The property donated by big households will be returned as it is. The money donated by ordinary people will be given to big households with 70%, and corrupt officials and county magistrates will get 30%."

Sun Guo: "How could this be? By the way, Fatty Xie, what do you mean by giving this example?"

Xie Yu: "I originally thought of selling these pair of gourd talismans for hundreds of thousands."

"It's the appraisal expert's recommendation that gives me the chance to go to the auction, but you have to explain the origin of the items at the auction. I can only go to the Genuine Pavilion again."

"Of course there is some exchange. Even if these pair of gourd soldiers are auctioned, I guess I can only take a small amount."

Sun Guo shook his head and said: "No, that's not possible. Since you spent money to buy this thing, no matter how much it is, it belongs to you. You still find the value in it."

"Fat man, have you negotiated a share ratio with them?"

Xie Yu: "It's just a verbal agreement, no details, but it's better than selling it in a store for hundreds of thousands."

Sun Guo: "That's what I said, Fatty, but I feel like this is too bullying. Wait a minute and I'll call my cousin."

Not long after, Sun Guo, who came back from making a phone call, gave Xie Yu a good sign and said:

"It just so happens that my cousin has some dealings with the auction house. He is very curious about your thoughts and wants to ask you to meet."

"He said that this auction house, not to mention the store, is a big bully. If he were here, he would at least have some scruples and not dare to do anything too much."

Xie Yu said gratefully: "Brother Guo, I won't say anything else. I have received the money, and I can't help but express my gratitude."

Sun Guo: "I don't care. Just treat me to a few big meals. As long as you don't miss my cousin's share."

Xie Yu: "I understand this, I'm sure there will be no shortage of it."

Xie Yu sighed and said nothing more.

Then, the two of them were ready to set off.

When Sun Guo saw Xie Yu's slightly more formal attire, she suddenly thought of something and jokingly said: "Come on, call the police. There is a gangster brother here. If you don't arrest him, he will affect the appearance of the city."

"Zi Zhen, I understand now. I didn't realize it when I did things with you before."

"Fat man, with your formal attire and your temperament, I don't dare to spy on you. It seems that there is no need for my cousin to take action!"

Xie Yu: "That won't work, I'm Xu Kezi."

Sun Guo: "It's up to you. Let's go. You can't let my cousin come to the funeral home to pick you up. It's too unlucky."

Xie Yu understood. After getting ready, the two took their belongings and walked out.

While walking, Sun Guo started to talk to Xie Yu about his cousin's import and export art trading company.

In fact, it is to take advantage of Westerners' obsession with Eastern mysterious culture to customize and sell some modern production of high-imitation ancient gold and silver porcelain, imitation paintings and other handicrafts.

These are completely reasonable and compliant, with legal procedures. They are not national treasures that have been lost. In fact, in ancient times, there were also domestically produced foreign porcelains for sale.
