Tao Weiguang and Poppy stood at the door and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before entering.
”Boss, what do you want to buy?” When the shop owner saw that it was Tao Weiguang who hurriedly went up to greet them, he also vigilantly looked behind the two of them.
”Our boss wants the monochrome porcelain bottles of the Tang Dynasty. He doesn't want any fake ones!” The poppy answered for Tao Weiguang.
”How much money do we have?” As he said that, the poppy shook the safe in his hand.
”Boss, this is the most precious treasure of our store, and it will not be easily seen by outsiders. If you two are serious about buying it, come and buy it for me.” The shop owner respectfully led the two into a small room at the side of the shop. When he saw that no one was around, he activated the hidden mechanism in the passage. Then, along with Tao Weiguang, they walked down the hidden ladder to the basement.
The two of them walked downstairs, where a few Thai people had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing this, Poppy took a step forward and said to their leader, ”Black Dog, I wonder what your considerations are? This shipment is of the highest quality, and we have already made a great deal of concessions. ”
”I already knew that Boss Tao was a straightforward person. I wonder if I could accommodate my younger brother a little bit more?” The man called Black Dog said with a drooling expression.
Tao Weiguang did not speak. Taking advantage of his face, he shook his head.
”Black dog, a wise man is the best. You won't be able to find such high quality goods like us no matter where you go. Don't try to test the patience of our master.” The poppy spoke again.
”Oh?” The black dog, on the other hand, had an indifferent look on its face, as if it was a rascal.
”Then there's nothing to talk about.” he asked, glancing at Tao Weiguang's expressionless face.
Tao Weiguang remained silent and only nodded his head. His elegant image from before had faded, and he looked more like an imposing elder.
”Alright then.” The black dog bit its lip and moved closer to the poppy. ”Deal.”
After saying that, the black dog snapped its fingers. Like the opium poppy, the follower behind it carried a password box that was of a different color. When it was opened, there were piles of dollars inside.
”These are the deposits, I want to inspect the goods now.” After saying that, the man behind the black dog took a step back while the opium poppy took a step forward and opened his brown leather case, which was full of all kinds of brand-new guns.
”Good, very good.” After playing with it for a long time, the black dog returned the gun back to its case. ”Boss Tao has always been honest in his business dealings. This is also the reason why my black dog has maintained a cooperative relationship with you for so many years. I will accept these goods.” The retainer behind the Black Queen and the opium poppy handed over the leather suitcases of both parties. Afterwards, they each took a step back and stood in their original positions.
”When you send the last digit over, our goods will arrive shortly.” The poppy said.
”Alright, that's right. I wonder how Boss Tao is preparing the other batch of goods?” The black dog smiled mischievously as it circled around Tao Weiguang and the poppy.
”It seems like Brother Gou's business is very good. He wants so many things at once. We can't accept your price.” The poppy as emotionless as Tao Weiguang said.
”Well well,” said the black dog, walking around them. ”Let me think about that.” Obviously, he could not accept the price that the opium poppy was talking about.
”Alright, we'll contact you when you think of it.” Poppy said coldly and left with her suitcase.
”Boss, are you satisfied with the porcelain bottles?” When he arrived at the small house, the shop owner of the antique shop smiled and asked, ”I'm not very satisfied with it. If you have any good stuff, you can let us know.” As Poppy spoke, he and Tao Weiguang walked out of the antique shop.
”Boss, with this amount of money, no matter how much Lei Zichen does, he won't be able to win over us Tao family.” Opium poppy excitedly said to Tao Weiguang while carrying the leather case.
”Opium poppy, be careful of the wall with ears.” Tao Weiguang coldly warned.
”Oh, got it, Master.” The two of them sat in the car and left in a cloud of dust.
In fact, all these years, this kind of underground business had always been personally handled by Tao Weiguang. He never believed in it for the sake of the people around him. Everything was settled by him.
Seeing the two of them come out after such a long time, Lei Zichen became more and more engrossed in observing. All these years of experience as a police officer had made his eyes extremely sharp. With a glance, he noticed that the color of the leather case in Opium Opium's hand had changed.
”This is …” Lei Zichen was sure that this antique shop was hiding some shocking conspiracy, so he immediately called Lan Xin.
”Boss, did you discover something?” Lan Xin directly asked after receiving the phone.
