"Auction? You're not satisfied with the price we offered before?"
"No, I want to meet the chairman of Mengxingchen Group, but he certainly won't give me face as an unknown nobody. Miss Huo is different; I know she has the ability to do so."
The artifacts from this dynasty are not very convincing compared to those from other dynasties.
But with Miss Huo involved, things are different.
Wealthy people who enjoy collecting antiques prefer to buy unique and rare pieces, and Chu Xiao understood this principle well.
Hearing him say that, Wanmei's smile widened.
"Yes, there are, but the chairman of Mengxingchen is not someone that just anyone can hire. It takes a lot of effort, time, connections, and money..."
Chu Xiao understood what she meant, unzipped his tracksuit, took out an ancient painting, and placed it in front of her.
"This is just a small token. If Miss Huo is willing to help, I can offer four great treasures as exhibits for this auction."
Four items? All of them are major projects?
"Yes!"
Wan Mei's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed: "Okay, we'll definitely help you with this!"
After leaving the antique shop, Chu Xiao drove to the technology research company founded by Mu Zhicheng.
His company's security equipment, software, and security teams are located all over the world, and its high-tech security weapons and cold weapons are leading both domestically and internationally, attracting countries to compete to purchase them.
As the car drove away, Wan Mei's smile gradually faded.
“Master, Chu Xiao is very tight-lipped; we can’t get the truth out of him.”
The door to the lounge behind him opened, and Huo Zishan walked out.
"Whether he says it or not doesn't matter. All the antiques must remain in the hands of the Chinese people. Since he wants to see the head of Mengxingchen, we should help him out. It's a good thing."
Chu Xiao left the antique shop and arrived at Zhicheng Technology Co., Ltd.
Mu Zhicheng was somewhat surprised to see him.
"Chu Xiao, what brings you here? Didn't you say you were going to buy seeds?"
Chu Xiao waved his hand, pulled him to the side of the car, opened the trunk and the passenger seat, and pointed to the leather and wooden boxes inside.
"Please store these things in your company's safe."
Mu Zhicheng was somewhat bewildered.
"What are all these things? And they want to be stored in our safe..."
He unzipped the suitcase, and the words he was about to say suddenly stopped. His mouth gaped open, looking just like a groundhog in an emoji.
"Wow! You've struck it rich?!"
Chu Xiao smiled.
"What's the big deal? Take a look at the other boxes."
Are there any other boxes?
Mu Zhicheng almost trembled as he opened the mahogany box.
Bronze vessels, gold bowls and chopsticks, silver basins, gold wine cups, etc.
Open another duffel bag.
A jeweled sword, a golden robe, an eight-treasure glass goblet, and a luminous pearl.
"My God! Chu Xiao, is this... really true? No way? It can't be fake, can it?"
"What do you mean fake? They're all genuine antiques!"
"Holy crap! Did you... dig up someone's ancestral grave?"
Chu Xiao put his arm around his shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry about where I got these things. They're all legitimate. Just keep them in your company's warehouse for now. I'll come and get them when I need them."
"Sure, sure, but with someone as clueless as you, I'll have to..."
"What do you mean by 'always'? We're brothers, would I ever hurt you? I have important business to discuss with you, so stop nagging."
"Is there anything else? Is there any progress on the matter with the Chu family?"
"No! I want to buy a batch of professional shooting weapons from you!"
"Huh? What do you need these things for? If you want to protect yourself, I can send a security team to protect you."
