Chapter 31 end

However, since Zhang Xianfan got acquainted with Bill, he began to negotiate a deal—Zhang Xianfan wanted to sell Tang Bohu's "Four Seasons of Joy" to Bill.Zhang Xianfan told Bill frankly that he didn't have too much greed and only wanted to live a life full of food and clothing. Therefore, his asking price was not high—Bill absolutely guaranteed his personal safety. Since he found Tan Xiaoku, Zhang Xianfan began to make careful arrangements with Bill—Bill went back to Baoqing to raise funds first, and the funds must be bank notes that can be exchanged for cash in major cities in China at any time.Bill readily agreed to him.When Bill learned that Zhang Xianfan would dig the tomb on the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, he took a fast boat back to Baoqing.

Zhang Xianfan didn't have much appetite, and his asking price was only 300,000 yuan.After receiving this sum of money, he will fly away to a place where no one can find him and live a happy life for the rest of his life. Zhang Xianfan originally thought that obtaining "Four Seasons of Joy" would take at least a lot of trouble, and he made various preparations for it.But what he never expected was that he got the priceless ancient painting easily. After Zhang Xianfan left Tanjia Village, he went straight to the ancient post road from Duliang to Baoqing, and drove fast all the way.What made him even more fortunate was that Jiang Xinghe didn't seem to have sent anyone after him.To be on the safe side, he didn't stop on the way. On the third day, Zhang Xianfan arrived in Baoqing and stayed at the Duliang Hotel that he had agreed with Bill in advance.

Bill had already booked a house for Zhang Xianfan. As soon as he checked in, the hotel owner notified Bill.Before Zhang Xianfan took a bath and changed his clothes, Bill had already arranged a sumptuous feast for him. Because Zhang Xianfan's trip was a top-secret one, Bill was the only one to accompany him.For three days in a row, Bill treated Zhang Xianfan with courtesy, but never talked about the deal.At lunch time on the fourth day, Zhang Xianfan finally lost his composure, and said, "I wonder how Mr. Bill has prepared during this time?" Bill said: "To tell you the truth, our company has strong funds, and there is no need to prepare hundreds of thousands of oceans, and we can withdraw bank notes that are commonly used throughout the country at any time."

Zhang Xianfan felt relieved and said, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth. I've brought the ancient painting. To make you feel at ease, follow me to see its true appearance after dinner." After dinner, Zhang Xianfan came to a very inconspicuous inn, took Bill into a room, closed the door, and took out a painting to show Bill.Bill is an expert in ancient Chinese paintings. After seeing this painting, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time, and then he shouted: "Good painting, good painting, it really is Tang Bohu's authentic work!"

Zhang Xianfan hurriedly put away the paintings, not without pride: "This is just one of them, there are thirty-two in total, and I brought them all." Bill said seriously: "In order to show my sincerity, I can now prepay a part of the deposit, and I will pay the rest when Mr. Zhang delivers the goods." Bill immediately took out one hundred thousand ocean banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Xianfan, and then left without looking back.Zhang Xianfan followed him quietly, and seeing that he was not acting abnormally, he went back to the room and took out the ancient painting on his back, settled the bill with the store, went to the back trough to lead the horse, and found the nearest bank to verify the authenticity of the bank note After that, he chose another secluded and safe inn to hide the ancient paintings and bank notes, and then returned to the room that Bill had booked for him in Duliang Hotel.

In the evening, Bill came to accompany him again, and when he returned to the room after dinner, Bill took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket with a smile and said, "This is the rest of the money, and I can give it all to Mr. Zhang tonight." Zhang Xianfan said politely: "Don't be in a hurry, I haven't brought my paintings with me, and it's unreasonable to collect payment before the goods are delivered." Bill said: "Mr. Zhang, you are welcome. I also want to introduce two friends to you." Zhang Xianfan said: "It is enough for me to have one friend, you don't need to know other friends."

Bill said with a smile: "You must know this friend. He is my boss, and he gave you all the money. He wants to see you, maybe he is afraid that I will get a kickback from him." Zhang Xianfan said, "I didn't expect Mr. Bill to have a boss. I thought you were the boss." Bill said nonchalantly: "It's too tiring to be a boss, it's better to be a subordinate freely—at least you don't take risks." While the two were talking, a middle-aged man came in.Bill stood up and introduced, "This is my boss, Mr. Jia Shoucheng, manager of Baoqing Yonghe."

Jia Shoucheng cupped his fists to Zhang Xianfan: "Mr. Zhang has been admiring him for a long time!" Zhang Xianfan also returned the courtesy: "Manager Jia, please sit down." Jia Shoucheng took his seat, Zhang Xianfan closed the door, and before returning to his seat, someone knocked on the door again: "Excuse me, is there anyone in the room?" Zhang Xianfan was extremely reluctant to be disturbed at this moment, so he said angrily: "You are looking for the wrong door!" Jia Shoucheng stood up and bowed to Zhang Xianfan: "Mr. Zhang, it may be my boss who knocked on the door, please open the door."

Zhang Xianfan looked at Bill in surprise and then at Jia Shoucheng: "Who is the boss?" Bill and Jia Shoucheng said in unison: "The one outside is really our boss!" Zhang Xianfan had no choice but to open the door again. When he saw clearly who was knocking on the door, he reflexively wanted to close the door—but it was too late, and several big men pushed the door open, and Jiang Xinghe entered the room with a smile. : "Mr. Zhang, hello, we meet again!" Zhang Xianfan looked at Jiang Xinghe in horror: "You, you... how do you know I'm here?" Jia Shoucheng hurriedly moved a chair and placed it in front of Jiang Xinghe: "Boss, please sit down."

Jiang Xinghe sat down, still smiling and said: "Of course I know you are here, Baoqing Yonghe is my branch, manager Jia Shoucheng and Mr. Bill are my employees, and I know what they know. " Zhang Xianfan finally understood, and said with a sneer, "Jiang, I admit that you are smart, but I am not stupid. The painting you want is not on my body." Jiang Xinghe said: "I have expected this, what conditions do you want?" Zhang Xianfan said: "Give me the 300,000 silver notes, and I will tell you where the paintings are hidden when I get to a safe place." Jia Shoucheng sneered and said, "Are you mentally handicapped when you are our boss? What will you do when you get to a safe place and refuse to tell the truth?"

Zhang Xianfan said: "I guarantee this with my personality!" Jiang Xinghe said: "The conditions you raised are actually not too much - but the premise is that for those who keep their promises, as far as I know, Mr. Zhang already has a bad record of not keeping promises, so you are not eligible to enjoy this One treatment." Zhang Xianfan said: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Since you are not benevolent, I will be unrighteous. Jiang, I can tell you publicly now - you will never get Tang Bohu's "Four Seasons of Joy" in this life!" Jiang Xinghe said: "My surname is Zhang, I, Jiang, have never uttered big words in front of people in my life. Today I will make an exception—just today I must get Tang Bohu's "Four Seasons of Joy"!" Zhang Xianfan laughed wildly: "Hahaha... Jiang, let's wait and see!" Jiang Xinghe didn't say much, he slapped three times, the door opened, and a middle-aged man came in holding a scroll of ancient paintings, and bowed to Jiang Xinghe: "Boss, I've already brought the things, Please take a look." Jiang Xinghe took something from the man's hand, unfolded a painting and showed it to Zhang Xianfan: "Mr. Zhang, did you see it clearly?" When Zhang Xianfan looked intently, it was the ancient painting "Four Seasons of Joy", and he realized that the man who sent the painting turned out to be the owner of Rugui Inn!He was furious for a moment, and rushed to snatch the painting, but Jia Shoucheng and Bill cut his hands back from behind... Only then did he admit that he was completely defeated by Jiang Xinghe.
