Pick up leak

The car parked in front of an alley. Mr. Cui took the lead to get out of the car, pointed to the front, and said, "This is the shop I mentioned."

Director Qu lightly frowned. This neighborhood is the largest urban village in the suburbs of the capital. The environment here is naturally not too good. Houses with more than two floors are covered by regulations. Various wires are tangled around the corners from time to time. There are also young people with accents in various places passing by here.

Afterward, Director Qu looked in the direction pointed out by President Cui, and saw a shop without a signboard. The shop's door was not large, and it looked tattered. Director Qu followed President Cui and found that there was nothing in it.

Rows of shelves are lined with various antiques, large pieces are placed directly outside, and small pieces are placed in glass cabinets.

An old man with a mirror came over, looked at the two of them, and then said, "You two can look around casually."

After the old man finished speaking, he took care of himself and did not pay any attention to President Cui and Director Qu.

Director Qu said that this boss looks unenthusiastic. The antique business has been open for three years. In the general antique shop, when it comes to guests, the customers will be greeted with a smile, after all, it's not easy for a customer to come by, and the store is also afraid that the customer will break some stuff, so they will always be with the customer. How can they act like this old man?

Afterward, Director Qu looked at the things on the shelf and smiled dumbly. Nothing on this shelf was a genuine product. They were all counterfeit products made by modern people. The oldest product here is only a dozen years. Some of them are still on the shelf. There are traces of laser technology, and at a glance, you know that it was made during the last one or two years.

"It's all fakes, no wonder the boss doesn't care, anyway, if it's broken, it won't be worth a few dollars. Mr. Cui doesn't seem to understand antiques at all. He came here today and wasted my time..." Somewhat dissatisfied, he thought that Mr. Cui brought himself to the antique shop to give him an antique, but the whole shop is fake, even if he chooses it himself, it will not be valuable.

Director Qu felt that there was no need to stay, so he was ready to tell President Cui to leave. When he looked at President Cui, he found that President Cui was holding a small bowl of pastel flowers.

"This is a small bowl of pastel flowers imitated by the modern people in the Qing Dynasty. This counterfeiter was very careful, knowing that no one believed it was directly imitated in the Qing Dynasty." Director Qu recognized at a glance, but then, when he saw the words: Yongzheng Nian System at the bottom of the bowl, his brows were raised suddenly.

"This is..." Director Qu recognized it carefully, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly.

"Director Qu, are you looking at the bowl?" Mr. Cui suddenly asked.

"This is a small bowl of pastel flowers imitated during the Republic of China period, and the appearance and shape are not bad." Director Qu pretended to take the small bowl indifferently, while talking, carefully observed, then asked, "How much is the bowl, boss?"

"This is a small bowl of pastel flowers imitating the Yongzheng period in the Republic of China. Take it for 2000 yuan!" The boss said afterward.

"2000 yuan!" Director Qu showed a very hesitant look as if he was thinking about worthlessness. Of course, this was intentionally showed by Director Qu. If he happily brought, he was worried that the store would be suspicious, and the boss might not sell it. Director Qu could only put on an act as if he didn't want it.

However, at this time, President Cui said, "Since you like it, I will give it to you! Boss, find a box to wrap the bowl!"

"That won't work, how can I collect your things. I brought money, I have the 2000 yuan, boss, I want it." Director Qu hurriedly took out the money and bought the bowl.

Sitting in the back car, Director Qu was ecstatic.

"I didn't think I could find the bowl today. The shop owner must have thought that I bought a counterfeit product, but I certainly didn't expect him to look away! This is not a modern imitation of the Republic of China, nor is it an imitation of Yongzheng. It was authentic! This thing, according to such a good appearance, it should at least be worth 400,000 to say less!" Director Qu endured the excitement in his heart, but his face was calm.

Only Mr. Cui, who was next to him, said, "There are a lot of imitations in the Republic of China on the market, and many of the objects are fake. Take the porcelain of the Yongzheng period as an example. A lot of it, whether it is color or pattern, is more elaborate than before, the color is thinner, the tone is very soft and elegant, the decorative group is particularly neat and chic, and the flowers are particularly delicate and charming... "

President Cui talked eloquently, but Director Qu was more and more shocked. Director Qu thought that Mr. Cui did not understand antiques, but from what Mr. Cui said, Cui understood the antique, so he knows a lot about the bowl he just bought!

At this moment, how could Director Qu still not understand that this was originally a game! Mr. Cui has arranged in advance for him to purchase it, does he think he is clever? His purpose was to give this antique flower bowl worth hundreds of thousands to me!

It is also a skillful way to give money to officials. If you take the money directly, you will be caught in a scandal in the future so if you are a little clever, you will find a way to give money in different ways, such as giving other people a good house or a car at a low price. Waiting is equivalent to sending money in disguise, but it is still too obvious to do so, and some people do not dare to live in a good house and do not dare to drive in a good car. After all, it is too dazzling.

The method of giving gifts like President Cui is relatively clever. Although he is in a big circle, he has hidden a lot. It will be hard to pick up leaks in a antique shops. Even if the relevant departments come to the door, they should not be counted as a violation of discipline.

Thinking that this was just a "leakage pick", Director Qu was relieved, he said in a joke, "President Cui, you took me to find a good place today, so I will invite you to dinner tonight, thank you very much."

"How can Director Qu spend the money, but then speaking of it, our group needs something that requires the help of the field management center." President Cui saw that Director Qu had understood, and he made the statement clear.

Director Qu had already guessed that Cui always had a purpose, and he signaled President Cui to go on, so President Cui said, "Our group always hopes to be able to sign Zhang Guan as our spokesperson, but Zhang Guan's endorsement fee is too high. It's not easy for us to do business. You can discuss with Zhang Guan to reduce the endorsement fee."

"That's it!" Director Qu nodded silently. Zhang Guan's agent team has always been a problem for Director Qu, but as Zhang Guan's performance is getting better and better, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Director Qu wants to withdraw Zhang Guan's commercial development rights but it has gradually become too difficult. But at this time, Director Qu had the idea of killing two birds with one stone in his heart.

"This meal is a big bite, and the way is to go step by step. There are commercial development rights about Zhang Guan, and it can also be recovered a little bit. This year, I will return two or three endorsements or advertisements from Zhang Guan. If I take two or three more, it would take three to five years to recover the commercial development right!"

Director Qu thought of this, smiled slightly, and said to President Cui, "I'll go back and arrange this matter!"

President Cui was relieved and relieved, "Thank you, Director Qu, I will be grateful when things are done!"

...

Zhang Guan did not participate in the closing ceremony of the Asian Games this time, so on the evening of the second day after the track and field competition, Zhang Guan boarded the plane returning to China.

After arriving at the Capital Airport, Zhang Guan received news from Yiming's consultation room just after getting off the plane. He Yiming and Zhuge Wenbo had been waiting for a long time.

Zhuge Wenbo's face was very bad, he directly said, "Yesterday, the director of the field control center sent someone to come to me in person, he asked us to give the field control center two endorsements every year!"

"Endorsement for the Field Management Center? What do you mean?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The field management center that will pick up two endorsements for you to do." Zhuge Wenbo said very angrily, "Your business value development has been independently operated by our championship team, whether it is advertising or endorsement, whether or not we agree, it's up to us to say how much money we have to pay. This is what we have agreed with the field management center. Now the director is going to break the contract. Their field management center will try to take away your business value development?"

"What about the price? Are we the ones who are in charge or are they in charge?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"They call the shots. Director Qu meant that these two endorsements are entirely handled by the field management center, and our champion team should not intervene." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Director Qu, this is the new director of the new office!" Zhang Guan said while looking at He Yiming, hoping to get his opinion.

He Yiming said, "I have followed this director before. He had strongly opposed Zhang Guan's establishment of a team of brokers to independently conduct business value operations. Moreover, after the establishment of our championship team, Director Qu had also proposed the forcible dissolution of the championship team, but none of them succeeded."

"So director Qu asked for two endorsements, the ultimate goal is for the right to commercial development?" Zhang Guan asked.

"I think so." He Yiming nodded, then said to Zhang Guan, "Now in the eyes of some people, our championship team is a big piece of meat! According to your current business of nearly 300 million a year revenue, our championship team also has more than 20 million commissions a year, how can no one be jealous? You are a cash cow, more people want to fight!"

Zhuge Wenbo said, "If this is the case, the two endorsements requested by Director Qu this year maybe just a temptation. Maybe they will need to get more next year. And they're just starting with this."

"I don't think so." He Yiming continued, "I think it's better to let me down first. Director Qu is about to take office. At this time, whether it is the association or higher-level leadership, it is sure to support Director Qu, after all, when the new official takes office, he has to be seated in this position. If he is at this juncture, we will not only face the Director Qu, but also to the association or someone at a higher level. The Tian Center is the management agency, they need you to achieve results, you also need their convenience. It is best to maintain this relationship. These two endorsements are still within our acceptable range, even if we pay the protection fee!"

"But what if his appetite is more than that? Now he wants two endorsements, but if he has to be more precise, will he need more tomorrow?" Zhuge Wenbo immediately asked.

He Yiming replied without hesitation, "I hope his appetite will not be so big, otherwise, we can only tear his face with him!"
