Jiang Ruoying spoke softly, obviously seeing the scene over there.
"The man next to her is Zhang Zhong, the secretary of the deputy director of the Construction Bureau. I met him before when bidding."
Jiang Ruoying thought, "And this Secretary Zhang likes the paintings of modern and contemporary painters very much, and is famous in the circle."
Generally speaking, such people are very low-key.
Only this Secretary Zhang is different. Although he likes these paintings, he only participates in some art exhibitions and never spends money to buy or collect these painters' paintings.
And he never accepts them.
It is said that many people have sent them, but they all hit a wall.
It is not surprising that Secretary Zhang appears in places with such exhibitions.
Su Yuan secretly noted this news.
"This is the third floor, so do they buy paintings directly by themselves?"
Su Yuan looked at the two people walking into a room, touched his chin and spoke.
"Generally speaking, it is the painter's agent who discusses these matters, and sometimes the person in charge of the exhibition does it on his behalf."
Jiang Ruoying only knows a little bit.
Su Yuan had a strong feeling that he would definitely meet someone familiar once he entered the room.
If Zhang Yuning was also exhibiting at the exhibition, he should also be there.
Su Yuan did not want Zhang Yuning to discover him.
The two were about to go downstairs when a staff member walked out of the room with a painting in his hand.
The painting was painted by Liu Xiangjun.
Su Yuan stopped the staff member and was very interested in the painting.
"Is this Liu Xiangjun's painting? Has it been sold?"
The staff member glanced at Su Yuan, who had an extraordinary temperament, and nodded: "Yes, a collector just collected this painting."
"I also like this painting very much. I would like to ask, how much did this painting sell for? I wonder if this collector can give it up..."
Su Yuan showed an interested look.
The staff member immediately became excited.
The person in front of him looked wealthy.
He might become a big customer of their exhibition.
Moreover, the competition between the two collectors would also bring higher value to the painting.
"This painting was sold for 8 million. The collector is an anonymous Mr. Liu. Sir, Mr. Liu has collected more than a dozen paintings by Ms. Liu Xiangjun.
I think he would not want to let go of Ms. Liu's painting. If you need, I can introduce Ms. Liu to you. Ms. Liu has other paintings at the exhibition..."
"Anonymous collector? Can you give me a contact number?" Su Yuan showed an interested look.
"Sir, we have a rule. If the collector is anonymous, we need to keep his identity confidential. I'm really sorry."
The staff scratched his head. That's their rule.
Su Yuan smiled, pulled out a card from his pocket, and then pulled the staff to the side,
"It's like this, I really like this painting, I know your exhibition has its own rules, and the paintings that have been sold cannot be taken back.
Can you give me Mr. Liu's contact information? I have discussed with Mr. Liu, and I am also a loyal fan of Ms. Liu. I like every one of her paintings very much. I should have a common language with Mr. Liu."
Su Yuan pointed to the word "two" with his fingers, "How about spending 20,000 yuan to buy Mr. Liu's contact information? I just want to make friends with Mr. Liu, and I won't say that you told me the contact information.
There are so many art exhibitions, and Mr. Liu and I often meet by chance."
Su Yuan appealed to his emotions and reason, and the most effective thing was the temptation of money.
The staff's face was hesitant. It was just a contact number, it didn't matter, and these were rich people, they wouldn't do anything embarrassing.
"Then sir, you must not say that I gave it to you."
The two added their contact information, and the staff gave a string of numbers.
Su Yuan also gave him the money.
After the people left.
Jiang Ruoying was a little puzzled, "Why do you have to get the collector's contact information?"
"Let's go to a place where there is no one."
Su Yuan took Jiang Ruoying to the stairs and kept it a secret.
"I want to verify something and tell you later."
Su Yuan smiled mysteriously and took out a new phone card, then called Mr. Liu.
After the phone rang for a few seconds, the other side was connected.
Su Yuan turned on the hands-free and recorded it by the way.
Su Yuan did not speak.
A puzzled voice came from the other side, "Who is it? What's the matter?"
It was the voice of a middle-aged man, and it sounded a little familiar.
The middle-aged man said hello a few more times, and a very familiar female voice came, "Who is it?"
"No one spoke,It should be a harassing call, I'll hang up first. "
Then, the call was hung up.
Su Yuan turned on his phone and played the recording several times.
"Did you hear anything?"
Jiang Ruoying hesitated, "The woman's voice is a bit like Zhang Yuning."
Su Yuan nodded: "Yes, the woman's voice is Zhang Yuning, and the man's voice is Liu Changyun, Zhang Yuning's lover."
"Why did they buy paintings?"
Jiang Ruoying felt that her brain was about to explode, and she couldn't figure out what interest relationship there was between them?
"Have you noticed that Zhang Zhong participated in several bids won by Jiang's Group in the past few years, and some high-end real estate projects in the city center were sold to Jiang's Group before the city center was moved.
Once or twice is luck, three or four times is coincidence, and five or six times is a trick.
When I saw the information sent before, I felt that this Zhang Zhong was very familiar.
Just now, Zhang Zhong and Liu Xiangjun seemed very familiar, which was enough to form a chain of interests. "
Su Yuan's sense of smell is very sharp. He has seen similar operations in books before, but has never encountered them in reality.
Before today, he had only vague guesses in his mind.
But he just called to confirm the identity of the so-called collector Mr. Liu.
80% chance that this is a chain of interest transfer.
A hidden bribe.
The exhibition was funded by the Jiang Group.
Liu Xiangjun's paintings were displayed openly.
Mr. Liu is the white glove pushed by Zhang Yuning.
The real financial backer behind it should be Jiang Feng, who spent 8 million to buy this painting.
8 million It went into Liu Xiangjun's pocket, and Liu Xiangjun and Zhang Zhong have a close relationship.
This 8 million is equivalent to going into Zhang Zhong's pocket.
This is what Su Yuan guessed.
Just now, it was just a simple verification.
Now it seems to be almost certain.
Good guy, there is a more obscure bribe under the bribe.
Jiang Feng should have won over many people with this method.
Zhang Zhong can only be one of them.
Jiang Ruoying stood there and thought for a while before she figured it out, and was a little speechless for a while.
"It means that my father has been using this method to bribe official personnel and get information in advance to participate in the bidding..."
