Tian Ye was slightly stunned. He had thought that Qin Haodong would ask him for help, but he didn't expect that Qin Haodong would ask him this question.
Did this young man want Sir Owen to protect him? But he was afraid that Sir Owen wouldn't be able to help him if he offended Master Yi Chenzi.
Besides, he only had business dealings with Sir Owen. There was no relationship at all, and Sir Owen would not help him.
However, since Qin Haodong asked him this question, he could only answer, "I've only met Sir Owen a few times, so I'm not familiar with him at all. Besides, Sir Owen doesn't care about a nobody like me.
"When Sir Owen held auctions here in the past, his butler, Mr. Fred, contacted me, so we're very familiar with each other and we're good friends."
Qin Haodong said, "That's enough. I just want to know if Sir Owen has any bronze statues of the 12 zodiac animals. Do you have any news about them? "
Looking at Qin Haodong's eager face, Tian Ye was full of helplessness. It seemed that this young man didn't realize his situation yet. He had offended Yi Chenzi because of a snake head. What he should be thinking about now was how to resolve Master Yi Chenzi's anger. Why was he still thinking about the bronze statues of the 12 zodiac animals?
He said, "Mr. Qin, please don't be angry with me. I think you should contact the chairman immediately. He has a good relationship with Master Zha, and Master Zha is Master Yi Chenzi's junior brother.
"If Master Zha is willing to mediate, you can give the snake head to Master Yi Chenzi. Then you can resolve the grudge today. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."
Qin Haodong was stunned. He was eager to get another animal head, but he didn't expect that Tian Ye would talk about this.
How could he ask Master Zha to mediate the relationship between him and Yi Chenzi? If he wanted to find Master Zha now, he would have to go to hell.
He said, "Manager Tian, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to worry about Yi Chenzi. I can handle it myself. Can you tell me whether Sir Owen has any more bronze statues of the 12 zodiac animals?"
Seeing that Qin Haodong didn't listen to his advice, Tian Ye could only sigh and said, "Fred was drunk when I was drinking with him once. He mentioned that Sir Owen had two bronze statues of the 12 zodiac animals. One was auctioned today, so it's very likely that he has another one."
"Really? That's great. "
Qin Haodong was very excited when he heard that Sir Owen still had a bronze head. If he could get two Upper-Grade Primordial Stones, he would be able to break through to the Elixir Realm Late-stage. With the purity of the Everlasting Green Wood Skill, he would definitely be invincible below the Saint Realm.
He asked excitedly, "Manager Tian, is there any way to get Sir Owen to auction the copper hand as well?"
Tian Ye shook his head and said, "It's up to Sir Owen to decide what to sell. Even Fred can only follow his orders. How can I do anything about it?"
Qin Haodong said again, "Then can you help me buy the remaining bronze head sculpture of the twelve zodiacs? No matter how much it costs. "
"That's not very possible either." Tian Ye said, "Sir Owen is a famous great collector. His family is very rich and doesn't lack money at all. He will only auction certain collections when he is tired of them. It's almost impossible to buy an item from him alone.
Moreover, as a butler, it was his duty to keep secrets for his master. Fred had only told him that Sir Owen had two bronze heads of the 12 zodiac animals when he was drunk.
"If we rush to ask for it, we won't get anything.
If you buy it, not only will you not get anything, but you will also cause trouble for Fred. He might even lose his position as Chief Butler. "
Qin Haodong also realized that this was not a good idea. He said, "Manager Tian, you are an expert in this field. Can you help me find a way to buy the remaining bronze head sculpture from Sir Owen?"
Sir Owen did not attach much importance to these things when he sold the snakehead sculpture, but they were extremely precious to Qin Haodong.
Tian Ye said, "Sir Owen is a great collector. Successful collectors like him rarely sell their collections. They usually give them as gifts to friends or exchange them with others.
"Mr. Qin, if you want to get the other bronze head sculpture, the best way is to find something that Sir Owen is interested in and then exchange it with him."
"That's a good idea," Qin Haodong said, "Manager Tian, do you know what Sir Owen likes most? In other words, what can I use to exchange for the bronze head sculpture from him? "
Tian Ye said, "Sir Owen loves to collect. Due to historical reasons, most of the antiques in his inventory are from Huaxia, so it's really not easy to interest him with something from Huaxia.
"As a great collector, what Sir Owen lacks most are European classical relics. At the same time, he is also very fond of these things.
"Mr. Fred told me that Sir Owen likes Picasso's paintings best, but the most regrettable thing is that although he has a rich collection, there are no works of Picasso.
"So he told me several times that once a painting of Picasso appears at the auction, I must inform Sir Owen in advance and buy it no matter how much it costs.
"If you can have Picasso's works, you can exchange them with Sir Owen, not to mention the bronze head sculpture of the 12 zodiac animals from Huaxia."
Qin Haodong was delighted. It might be more difficult to get other antiques, but when it came to ancient paintings, he had his own processing plant and could make a batch at will.
After saying that, Tian Ye shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Although there are many paintings of Picasso when he was alive, there are very few antique lovers in the world. All his works have been collected and they haven't appeared at international auctions in recent years."
Qin Haodong said, "Manager Tian, I happen to have some paintings of Picasso at home. I'll bring them to you in a few days and ask you to help me identify them. If possible, contact Sir Owen and exchange with him."
"Wh … what?"
Tian Ye almost bit his tongue. He didn't expect that Qin Haodong really had Picasso's paintings. What the hell were they? Did he have more than one painting in his hand?
Qin Haodong stood up and said, "Manager Tian, thank you for helping me so much. I'll go back now. Let's contact each other another day."
"Wait a minute." Tian Ye quickly said, "Mr. Qin, if I'm not wrong, Master Yi Chenzi must be waiting for you outside. If you go out now, it will be very dangerous. Why don't you hide here for a while?"
Qin Haodong smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I can't hide here all the time. Besides, he's just Yi Chenzi. It's not a big deal. "
After that, he walked out of the door with Nalan Wushuang. Tian Ye said anxiously, "Mr. Qin, please wait a minute. I'll call all the bodyguards of the auction house and ask them to escort you."
"It's really unnecessary. We can do it ourselves."
Qin Haodong waved his hand to Tian Ye and then strode out of his office.
Tian Ye didn't understand why this young man was so confident. He didn't take Master Yi Chenzi seriously at all. After thinking for a while, he picked up his mobile phone. Since he couldn't help Qin Haodong, he would report it to Old Master Li as soon as possible.
As soon as Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang drove away from the auction house, Li Meiyu called and said hurriedly, "Haodong, what happened? I heard that you offended Master Yi Chenzi again in the auction house? "
Qin Haodong smiled and said, "That old faker pretended to be arrogant. He insisted on buying the snake-head sculpture at the lowest price, so I took it."
Li Meiyu said anxiously, "Haodong, how can you still laugh? Yi Chenzi is much more powerful than Master Zha. He's Master Zha's senior brother. Since you offended him, he will definitely take revenge on you. "
Qin Haodong said indifferently, "He's just an old faker. It's not a big deal. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
He really didn't take Yi Chenzi seriously. He had a strong Spirit as his foundation. When it came to magic arts, few people could surpass him.
Li Meiyu said, "Well, be careful."
Now that Master Zha was dead, it would be good if Mei Zhanlong didn't vent his anger on the Li family. They really couldn't help him in this matter.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Haodong didn't return to the Li family's villa. Instead, he drove directly out of the city and chose a very remote place to stop.
Nalan Wushuang asked, "What are you going to do?"
Qin Haodong said, "Since there's trouble, I'd better solve it as soon as possible."
He still had a lot of things to do, such as improving his cultivation and getting the other bronze head from Sir Owen. It was better to solve trouble like Yi Chenzi as soon as possible.
He felt Yi Chenzi's aura as soon as he got in the car, so he directly drove out of the city to create a chance for Yi Chenzi to take action.
Then he got out of the car, turned his head to the dark place and said, "Since you've been following me for so long, come out quickly. Don't dawdle. I'm in a hurry."
Nalan Wushuang also got out of the car, holding the monk's staff in her hand. After Qin Haodong finished speaking, she saw a figure slowly appear from the darkness and walk to them. It was Yi Chenzi with a gloomy face.
Yi Chenzi stared at Qin Haodong coldly and said with a murderous look, "Boy, do you know who I am?"
Qin Haodong said, "Yes, I do. You're just an old faker. You swindle around all day long and claim to be a master, but what you do is dirty things."
"Boy, you're courting death." Yi Chenzi said, "Hand over the snake head and I'll consider sparing your life."
"Hand over the snake head? Are you kidding me? If I give it to you now, why did I buy it just now? "Qin Haodong said," You just want to rob me, don't you? Hurry up. I told you that I'm in a hurry. "
