Chapter 203 Xu Family's Means

"Xu family?"

"Well, they have started recently." Liu Liu agreed, but did not say more.

This kind of thing is not very suitable to say on the phone. Many things have to be sat down and said slowly, especially the longer Liu Liu does intelligence, the more cautious he is. Zhao Long also greeted Su Zibing and asked Su Zibing to find the people around him to secretly teach Liu Liu something more professional. They were all professional spies. After learning from them, Liu Liu hardly said anything important on the phone.

When I returned to the Haicheng Cultural Antique Street, I suddenly felt lonely. Because the surroundings were so deserted that it was uncomfortable. Occasionally, a few pedestrians walked around this kind of street, and ordinary tourists came over to stroll around. At this moment, the situation on the entire street was just like before Zhao Long rented the Tianyan Antique Shop, and it was almost closed.

When Zhao Long returned to the backyard, Liu Liu, Fatty, Hu Lao, and Xu Lao were all waiting there.

"It's only been a few days, why is his expression so serious?" Zhao Long came in with a smile and threw some special snacks he brought back from Hangzhou to the fat man. This was when he came back, he saw something he bought on the roadside.

"Let's eat later. Boss, think of a solution first. The situation is a bit difficult now. The Xu family's strategy of removing firewood from the cauldron is too ruthless." The fat man held the food and did not open it immediately to eat it. Instead, he sighed and looked at Zhao Long with help.

"Don't worry, tell me what's going on." Zhao Long asked everyone to sit down and looked at Liu Liu first.

Liu Liudao: "At the beginning, everything was quite normal. Their prices were lower than ours. This kind of price battle was useful in antique shops, but not as big as other places. You are like some of the more expensive things, some coins, antiques, stamps, etc., even if the prices are cheaper, we can't sell them first. After all, the real big thing is some rare things, the only ones, but at several auctions we held one after another, the same thing would flow out after the same price was sold, and the price was much cheaper than us."

"And... the things that were circulated are all genuine products, just like porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, some things from official kilns in the Song Dynasty, or some ancient jade, etc." Mr. Hu added.

"So silently made many big collectors resist and wary of our Tianyan. We held auctions very few, and even no one would buy them. Not only that, some antique dealers in other cities temporarily cut off contact with us for various reasons, and then many real and fake rumors in the industry spread, not only did the business of our Tianyan Antique Store plummet, but also had a great impact on our Tianyan Antique Store." Although the matter was serious, Liu Liu now had the same style and calmly told Zhao Long.

"Boss, the Xu family is so sinister. This is to destroy the signboard of our Tianyan Antique Store." The fat man said angrily, unknowingly, exerting force in his hand. The food Zhao Long brought him was crushed a lot. The fat man has not stopped practicing now. He is already at the level of an intermediate martial artist. His body is still so fat, but he is more energetic, more energetic, more flexible in his movements, and more in his words.

"At first, I suspected that there were insiders in us, otherwise they would not get almost the same thing. Except for some calligraphy and paintings, almost all the others can get almost the same thing, and even better than the ones we sold here. And they are all true. Many big collectors will come to us to return things, and even some people who bought them before came to return them. The funds from our Tianyan Antique Store were occupied a lot, and some later development plans had to be temporarily put on hold. Because you have been away from your boss during this period, we have been trying to solve them, but..." Liu Liu smiled helplessly and obviously they could not solve this problem.

Mr. Hu said in confusion: "I can't understand how they did it, how could such a coincidence happen? Is their family a treasure house in the palace, hiding rare treasures in the world? Otherwise, it would be difficult for this industry to hurt people with its original intention, but they really did it and did it. Now we have a large amount of antiques in our hands, but no one dares to buy them at all, and we can't buy them at all."

"I have been playing with antiques for a lifetime, but I still realize that what I know is not that true at all." Mr. Xu also sighed slightly.

If Zhao Long knew about this before going to Hangzhou, he would be confused. As Mr. Hu said, could he have a treasure house for the Xu family? Otherwise, how could he have so many things that are almost the same, even better quality, and then take them out to attack the Tianyan Antique Store.

But now it’s different. Zhao Long has been with Pang Yunlong and Tie Zhi recently. Although the Baguazhang Sect has been passed down for more than 100 years, they are somewhat familiar with some of these major sects and families that have been circulated for a long time. Their strength and heritage are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. A big family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, especially this martial arts family, may not be much worse than the treasure house in the imperial palace.

Pang Yunlong once said that even if they are now starting to make some reserves. The so-called reserve is to purchase paintings of contemporary famous or potential painters, collect rare and special handicrafts in modern times, and there are many different things, and then they are kept secretly by someone. Of course, they will also collect some modern antiques or other things, and as time goes by, these things will gradually appreciate.

Just like what Tie Zhi said when he was chatting, the things they used in their lives in the past were like some modern rare wood, which were only things they could buy at a very cheap price, but now they can be sold at a higher price. This is also the benefit of living longer. If the peak martial arts master who can live to be 150 years old wants to make money, it is very easy. As long as he keeps some things decades ago, it will continue to appreciate later. Moreover, people like them generally do not lack money and will save a lot of money.

This is just a sect that has been established for more than a hundred years. If it were a sect that had been established for thousands of years, how terrifying would it be. So when I heard that Zhao Long made antiques, Pang Yunlong and the others once mentioned that they must have a good relationship with those big families that have been passed down for thousands of years. They have things that are enough to depreciate the entire antique world. They usually ship slowly, but once they sell things crazy, the so-called antiques worth a thousand gold are not worth much. Even the Xu family's method has already caused the price of antiques to plummet.

"Boss, you're saying something." Seeing that Zhao Long didn't say anything immediately after hearing it, the fat man was a little anxious. These days he was so anxious that he lost his temper with people all day long. Because in the past month, they have thought of countless countermeasures, but they are useless, so it's strange if they don't hurry. The Sky Eye just grew up and suffered this kind of blow.

"What's the use of being anxious? Have you forgotten the painting you asked you to hang in your room some time ago? If you are calm when you encounter major events, you can't solve the problem." Zhao Long said as he got up and patted the fat man, "Have you tried to find someone to cooperate and get them."

"Try it." The fat man said desperately: "We asked someone to cooperate and claimed to sell things at a price that was a few percent lower than the normal price, but they would still sell the same thing at a lower price, and we also charged some of the things. But they seemed to have endless goods. After we received tens of millions of dollars in succession, we found that they were obviously not afraid at all. Even if they sold them to us at one-two tenths of the original price, they would dare to sell them. But we found that we could not buy too much money at all. If all the goods were pressed in our hands, once they shipped in large quantities and threw the price of these things to a lower price, we would all be rotten in our hands and they would get what they wanted."

"Typical one hurts people with their original body." Liu Liu said coldly: "But their original body is too big, and we can't do it."

What I can think of is Liu Liu, Fatty, Mr. Hu, Mr. Xu, and others. After all, they are not ordinary people, and they have been trying to find a way for more than a month, but they lack some things. They lack the domineering spirit, the courage to burn their boats, and the ability to make decisions. They are absolutely relieved to execute the orders, but they always lack some decisions when making decisions alone.

"Carry." Zhao Long said extremely firmly: "As long as they dare to ship the goods at a price of more than 30% below the market, we will collect as much as they have. If the money is not enough, I will borrow the property if it is not enough."

"Boss, don't be impulsive..." When Mr. Hu heard this, he thought Zhao Long was angry and was going to fight with the other party.

Mr. Xu also hurriedly said, "Don't worry first, think of a solution slowly, this impulse will not solve the problem."

The fat man clenched his fists, and Liu Liu continued to listen calmly.

"Don't worry, you two elders, I'm not impulsive, don't worry, they dare not ship the antiques so randomly and completely destroy the antique market, because not only their family has these things, but there are actually many people in the market that look scarce. If he dares to destroy this industry, someone will settle the score with them." They don't understand that although the Xu family is not weak, there are many families that are as powerful as them, even more powerful than them.

"Boss, another problem is that our Tianyan does not directly use force or deal with it, but people who help us do things keep getting into trouble. Especially those who help us buy their things in this way have already... two of them died and three were injured. If they buy them on a large scale, I'm afraid..." Liu Liu said worriedly.

"Boom..." The temperature in the room suddenly rose, and everyone felt the air was solemn, as if it was about to suffocate. Zhao Long's feet exploded instantly, and then with him as the center, the entire room ground broke inch by inch. Zhao Long's eyes when he looked at Liu Liu became cold as before: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
