Chapter 59: Smashing the Scene!!

  In the morning, Zhao Long returned to Guwan Yitiao Street and just took out the key to open the door of Tianyan Antique Shop. As soon as the door opened, a loud thud was heard from inside, making the ground shake like a big iron ball smashing into the ground.

  "Rumble... who... who..." Then heard Fatso's tense voice.

  Zhao Long pushed open the door and came in, only to see the fatty holding a war knife, with sleepy eyes and a flustered expression.

  "What's with this hairstyle?" Zhao Long was completely baffled, what on earth was Fatso doing.

  "Ah..." It was Zhao Long, and the fatty finally let out a sigh of relief, his eyes widening: "You still know how to come home? What kind of boss are you, running away as soon as the store opens, and there are so many people coming to deliver things. Look over there, just after you left, someone delivered these few boxes of goods. At first, I didn't think much of it, and I just helped your big brother receive them on your behalf. Later, Fourth Brother came, and after hearing him explain, I realized that these items are all very valuable, with a few of them worth tens of millions."

  Fatso spoke quickly, and having just woken up, his mouth was dry. He then picked up a cup from beside him, poured himself a large glass of water, and after gulping it down, continued: "Good grief, I calculated that there's stuff worth around 80 to 90 million here. Fourth Brother said this is still a conservative estimate, damn it, with so many things placed here, how can I feel at ease? I can only stay here and keep watch."

  "This is also something from that place, it's said to be forged by a formidable person during the Republic of China era." The fatty swung the war knife in his hand as he spoke.

  Zhao Long suddenly remembered what he had agreed with He Ping. The collections of Cai Yuanhong, He Ping's father-in-law, were incomparable to those of his fourth brother, and the most precious ones were also given by He Ping as a gift. At that time, He Ping wanted to spend so much money to hunt down Jiang Yan and others, not for those antiques, but mainly for revenge.

  "Lao Shi, take a look quickly, is that painting there?" As soon as he heard that He Ping had brought the things over, Zhao Long immediately thought of that painting with dragon energy, and while saying this, he himself also walked towards those boxes to facilitate Lao Shi's search.

  "No need to search anymore. Within the range that I can currently sense, if the painting is in this house, I would be able to feel it. It's definitely not here." Lao Shi directly denied.

  Zhao Long was taken aback, but after a moment's thought, he suddenly understood what was going on. He casually opened a box and took a look inside. The items were all professionally packed, each in its own small box, and some of the paintings were also wrapped to prevent any damage. After a quick glance, Zhao Long had already figured out what was happening - Ping must have removed all the fake items.

  Zhao Long was speechless, and after thinking for a moment, he directly dialed He Ping's phone.

  "Mr. He, I've received the items, thank you for your trust. There's just one more thing I'd like to discuss with you, last time when I was capturing Bai Sheng, he intentionally mixed in some high-quality fakes to sell, and I found that there is a genuine painting among them, if it's convenient for you, could you also send over the fake ones?" If this painting were in Bai Sheng's hands, or like Qi Nan in Shao Yu Song's hands, Zhao Long would never be so frank.

  Now that he is so frank with Ping An, it means that he will hand over the benefits afterwards to Ping An and only take what he deserves.

  Ting was also taken aback on the phone, and then laughed: "I was afraid that those high-quality fakes would affect the name of Tianyan if they were sent over, so I specially found someone to identify them one by one before sending them to you. I didn't expect it to be like this."

  Not to mention the trust of peace, just with this money he would use it to build schools, Zhao Long wouldn't really make this money. He wouldn't make money that is black-hearted and goes against his conscience. Making money is important, but also must be done in a proper way.

  "Unexpected discovery, haha......" Zhao Longxin said that his level in this aspect was only just beginning.

  He chatted with He Ping for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone. Zhao Long looked around the room, and the sofa had been slept on by Fatso to the point of deformation. Nothing else seemed to have changed much. Wait, something did seem different under his own seat. Zhao Long walked over to take a look.

  "Haha......" Fatso said proudly: "Boss, I've thought about it for a long time and killed many brain cells to come up with this method. This looks like an ordinary floor on the surface, but actually there is a fingerprint verification system here, and the safe is inside."

  Fatso came over and pressed Zhao Long's hand into one of the corners. The light flashed a few times, Fatso moved the chair away, and pressed another button under the table. The floor where Zhao Long was originally sitting suddenly rose up, flipped to the side, and what appeared before his eyes was a huge safe with a length of 1.5 meters and a width of 1 meter, right in the ground.

  "It's actually not bad, but..." Looking at the fat man with a smug and expectant expression, Zhao Long said apologetically: "I made some money this time, so we don't have to worry about it for now. Although I don't want to expand our storefront, I'm thinking of renting out the two shops next door. One will be converted into an office and a rest area, while the other will be used for storage."

  "Hey, big brother, you can't play me like this! You're not fooling anyone with your tricks. This is taking advantage of people! I've put in a lot of effort, and you...!" The fatty's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and he began complaining like an aggrieved wife.

  "Don't pretend with me, this will be your office from now on. And take down that screen too. There's space underneath for a lot of things. Alright, hurry up and go sort out the two rooms next door. By the way, what did Fourth Brother say when he came?"

  "No, he just said to come over and take a look at how our store is doing. He originally said he was coming today too. Later, it seemed like something came up, and he told me to tell you that if you want the treasure of our store, you can go get it anytime." At this point, Fatty curiously asked: "Boss, what is the treasure of our store?"

  "Qing Dynasty Qianlong period powder blue and white porcelain vase with hollowed-out designs." Zhao Long was currently taking out the antiques that He Ping had brought over one by one to examine them. He Ping hadn't provided an inventory, which was a sign of trust. However, Zhao Long wanted to make a record of each item, first to appraise their value, and then after selling them, he would have an account to settle. Upon hearing the question from Pangzi, Zhao Long casually replied.

  "How much does it cost?" asked the fat man again.

  "Go check yourself, go quickly and bring some food back." Zhao Long was admiring a painting from the Republic of China period and waved his hand to ignore Pangzi.

  Half an hour later, the fat man came back with some food and then went to discuss renting a house with the owners of two nearby shops. Zhao Long was busy sorting out these antiques, paintings and other items. Cai Yuanhong had many collections but none were particularly valuable, after all his daughter married He Ping before he became a university professor. After sorting them out, Zhao Long put away the most valuable ones and arranged the rest neatly.

  After such a long time of training on the street of cultural antiques, Zhao Long was very clear about the prices of these things and had a good grasp of them in his mind.

  These things are still very troublesome, and in the blink of an eye, the whole morning has passed. In the afternoon, Fatso had already completed the procedures for those two houses. However, those two houses have not been used for a long time, one with more than 60 square meters, and the other is similar to their storefront. Zhao Long asked Fatso to find someone to clean up the place, while he continued to busy himself with his affairs.

  In the afternoon, more than one o'clock, the door of Tianyan Antique Shop was pushed open. Zhao Long had almost finished cleaning up and was inputting the information of these things into the computer. He looked up and saw the person who came in. It was none other than Liu Liu from yesterday.

  "Congratulations, Mr. Zhao! Congratulations! This small gift is not worthy of the occasion, but one day when you open for business, be sure to let me know and I'll come over to help out." Liu Liu didn't seem as angry as he was yesterday, and with a cheerful mood, he handed over a gift box with a smile.

  "Sit down, I was just looking for you." Zhao Long thanked him and took the gift box, putting it aside, and asked Liu Liu to sit down.

  Liu Liu's eyes scanned the room as soon as he entered, and a hint of doubt and surprise gradually flashed in his eyes. Because Zhao Long placed these things, they were not particularly valuable, but there was nothing inferior about them, all were high-quality goods. Moreover, from the overall situation, it looked more like someone's collection.

  Can't help but say that Liu Liu's eyes are very old and cunning, one glance has already seen many things, however he didn't say much, just smiled and sat down.

  This morning, he ran to Zhen Gu Xuan on purpose and took a look. Shao Yu Song was so excited that he got injured and bled again, and he had to be hospitalized again. But he still took a look at the Hainan Huanghua pear wood cabinet, and he didn't expect it to become like this. Just now, he kept thinking about it, suddenly remembering Zhao Long's strange behavior after slapping him.

  The more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter is related to Zhao Long. So I went home and found a gift, an ancient copper coin worth over 10,000 yuan, and rushed over here.

  "I have a friend who wants to make some agarwood products, the main material is already available, but lacks some auxiliary materials. Can you help me find some agarwood that's not too expensive, something in the price range of 2,000 to 6,000 per kilogram? Even if it's burnt, damaged or has other issues, it's okay. Please keep an eye out for me.

  Also, aside from agarwood, I'm also collecting sandalwood, as long as the price isn't too expensive, and don't mind what shape it's in."

  Sandalwood, on the international market, is priced around $5.16 million to $6.16 million per ton. Zhao Long can sense a lot of wood energy from it, its value is slightly lower than agarwood, but there's a lot more of it than agarwood.

  "No problem, I have dealings with many people in this area and also have dealings with several large processing plants. They should all have some leftover materials." Although it was unexpected that Zhao Long would bring up business directly, Liu Liu still readily agreed.

  Just then, the gate of Tianyan was opened again, but this time it wasn't one person who came in, but a group of people.

  "Who is Zhao Long." The one walking in the front was a nearly seventy-year-old old man, with white hair and robust spirit, his tone clearly showing extreme displeasure, asking directly as soon as he came in.

  "Hu... Old Hu..." As soon as he saw the old man, Liu Liu was shocked and suddenly stood up. This expert professor, who was very famous in the antique world, was also well-known in Haicheng. What surprised him even more were the few people who came in afterwards. And after they came in, they all asked Old Hu the same question. This made Liu Liu feel that something was not right, what had Zhao Long done again, how did he offend these old gentlemen, and how could he still mix in the Haicheng antique world?

  "Who is Zhao Long?"
