Fang Sheng said calmly: "Mr. Gu's skills are superb and highly respected, and he enjoys a high reputation in the antique industry and collection industry. He is a well-deserved leader in the antique industry in northern Shanxi. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to communicate with you individually."

"Chief Fang Shen has been too much, I am ashamed!" Gu Kaixi bowed repeatedly, "It's a good marriage. Chief Fang Shen actually personally took charge of Matougou to direct rescue and disaster relief, so that I could have encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... If I had just worn a rough dress and went straight to the provincial government compound, I might not have even been quarreled in the police car. Fortunately, I am very lucky!" The conversation changed and said, "It was mainly because of the wisdom of Fang Shen's negotiation, calmness and demeanor that I was impressed by the old man. Frankly speaking, I have been in contact with hundreds of leading cadres in the world for decades, the most grassroots village party secretary, the upper class... For example, Chief Shen has also dealt with, but the only one who really admires me is you, Chief Fang Shen!"

"I guess Mr. Gu's topic is related to antiques?" Fang Sheng was impatient to deal with him and said directly.

“That’s right!”

Gu Kaixi was serious about the matter and pondered for a moment, "I dared to speculate that Fang Shen Chang was in office in western Jinxi, and I already had a general understanding of the antique industry in the province, otherwise I would have to work hard to lay the groundwork."

"Mr. Gu, but it's okay." Fang Sheng refused to comment.

"The province has three major schools: the Western Jin Sect, the Northern Jin Sect and the Eastern Jin Sect. Among them, the Western Jin Sect is the strongest. The Northern Jin Sect must join forces to barely compete with the Western Jin Sect. This is one of them. When it comes to antiques in the Western Jin Sect, we can't help but think of the flood of counterfeits. The most famous ones are made in the Western Jin Sect. It can be said that most of them are made in the Western Jin Sect. Northern Jin and Eastern Jin also have their own characteristics. Northern Jin is good at counterfeiting bronzes, while Eastern Jin is good at ancient paintings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but except for some, they are just a small fight and cannot make a comeback. Later, they were made in the Western Jin Sect for competition. Zhuo Qiang was also very angry. The fake brand he had worked hard to create was faked by others..."

"Fake fake brands..." Fang Sheng was also ridiculous and felt that the humor in the world was unimaginable at times.

Gu Kaixi said: "Thirdly, the action launched by the province to eradicate fraud industry chain was not pretending to be a pretentious move. I said to Chairman Fang Shen, who absolutely supported the decision of the Shenwen Provincial Government with both hands, and agreed and happy to eradicate the fraud industry chain in western Shanxi! In fact, the increasingly rampant counterfeiting industry has not only caused a devastating blow to the antique industry in western Shanxi, but also made the appraisal industry and collection circles notorious, so I was embarrassed to admit that I was from western Shanxi when I went to other places to give lectures, teach and appraisal antiques! Antiques unearthed in western Shanxi are even more unsuccessful. No matter how real things are, other provinces heard that they are all "fakes" from western Shanxi, and they don't look at them directly. Fang Shen, Jinxi has been a major province of antiques and cultural relics since ancient times, and has produced many treasures that shocked China and abroad!"

Seeing his heartbroken look, Fang Sheng nodded and said, "Mr. Gu's words are sincere, and I feel deeply. Antiques are really rare and rare, but they are easy to make money quickly. They have misleading among the people and make those who like to take advantage of the opportunity, those who are not doing their jobs, and those who are very gambled are flocking to it. In the long run, they have gradually grown into an industrial chain. Some areas in the province even rely on their blood transfusions, which is simply putting the cart before the horse and drinking poison to quench thirst!"

"President Fang Shen stands higher and sees farther!" Gu Kaixi bowed again, "It's shameful to say that as the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Antiques Association, in the face of the rise of counterfeiting industry, counterfeits are full of antique markets but are powerless. Occasionally, due to the face, some people have to put on the storefront and say some vague words to endorse the counterfeit. Every night, people always reflect on the moon in a quiet night, and they always sweat and feel ashamed!"

Fang Sheng said coldly: "There is a run-up trend - from the beginning to the end, the Chamber of Commerce and Antiques Association have played a significant influence in it. Mr. Gu may have known this later, but he can't deny it?"

Gu Kaixi stood up and said, "This is exactly what I really admire Fang Shenchang. I know the inside story but don't show any expression. I lowered my figure and negotiated with us equally to calmly resolve the run and avoid a big crisis! To be honest, some young and strong teams in the Antiques Association of the Chamber of Commerce did participate in this matter. Without the consent of me and the main manager of the association, I later regretted it too late to see the matter! I was still young and didn't realize the terrible consequences of the run... But they also felt resentful in their hearts. Today they came to report the deeper inside story."

"You said." Fang Sheng had guessed most of the time in his heart.

"I said before that the antique industry, especially the collection circle, definitely supports the decision of the Shenwen Provincial Government to eradicate the counterfeiting industrial chain, and hope to eradicate the counterfeiting industrial chain from the western part of Shanxi!" Gu Kaixi said, "So at the beginning, although many people were awkward, uncomfortable, and all aspects of the economy were hit hard, they recognized the government's approach from the long-term perspective. After all, it was an illegal act. Why should we fight? However, after more than half a year, everyone found something wrong. The so-called eradication of the counterfeiting industrial chain was not as imagined..."

Fang Sheng asked, "What do you imagine?"

"A bowl of flatness must be flat, and no one has any objection, but in fact, it is northern Jin and eastern Jin. The fraudulent industrial chain of eastern Jin was almost uprooted, but the Western Jin faction was unscathed. No, not only was it unscathed, but it also took the opportunity to seize the original market of northern Jin and eastern Jin. In the end, it turned out to be a situation where the big ghost was still alive!"

“Is there any evidence?”

"Yes!" Gu Kaixi said, "I am not coming here this time to tell lies in front of President Fang Shen. The matters stated are data as evidence! For example, why does the Chamber of Commerce and Antiques Association strongly require that every car be checked and the pass system be cancelled? Because the northern and eastern Shanxi areas strictly implement every car inspection, but there are two highway intersections in the provincial capital for vehicles that transport fakes. There is no random inspection and no pass required. They are all well-remembered license plate numbers and waved to let go when they see it. Someone in northern Shanxi is clever and wants to get through the truck license plates in Jinxi City, but they are unable to recognize it, but they ask for passes instead... These are the names of the two highway intersections, please check them."

Fang Sheng took the small note and handed it to Yu Xiaoting, and asked, "Is there any?"

"This is a list of cultural relics law enforcement systems in Kyoto, northern Hebei and other nearby provinces and cities that have been searching for counterfeits in the past nine months and confirmed that they were 'made in western Shanxi'," Gu Kaixi pointed to the form and said, "I saw it. Compared with the number of searches two years ago, three years ago, and four years ago, it has only been reduced by 15-18 points!"

Fang Sheng pondered: "There is indeed a problem, because the data released at the end of last year showed that the fraud industry chain, especially the fraud workshops, workshops, etc. have been removed by more than 80%. Even if there were inventory and smuggled out before, it would not be a problem to drop at least 40-50 points."

Gu Kaixi said: "In front of President Fang Shen, I dared to make a responsibly guarantee that the eradication rate of counterfeit workshops in northern Shanxi must have reached 80% or even more. The production of counterfeit products has plummeted to the present day. Even if it is secretly made, it cannot be transported out. I can only carry a few pieces. Based on this calculation, the counterfeits that have flowed out of northern Shanxi since last year are probably only about 5% of the same period last year."

"There is also a basis for this statistics?" Fang Sheng asked with a smile.

Gu Kaixi was suddenly attacked by a military commander, his face turned slightly red, and he secretly called the young Chang Shen's reaction was really sharp. He was captured alive on the spot after showing his slightest bit!

He said embarrassedly: "Chief Fang Shen is smart! I don't tell lies in front of real people. In fact, there are general statistics within the industry. It is not a formal or association investigation, but a situation learned by private chatting... I also talked with data. I said a situation that can be verified publicly and conveniently for Chairman Fang Shen to verify - Taizihe antique market is the largest shopping mall in Kyoto, a second-hand and private trading market. Ninety percent of the goods came from Shanxi Province in the past five to ten years. In theory, the counterfeiting was like this last year. Taizihe should face the problem of insufficient supply? There was indeed a rumor in the first two months, and the price was increased, and the supply did not stop at all! By the end of last year, Taizihe's sales increased slightly compared with previous years!"

"Will the fraud gangs in nearby provinces such as northern Hebei fill the market gap?"

"Chief Fang Shen, I am sure that it is impossible in this regard!" Gu Kaixi said, "First, although it is fake, it has a certain technical content. Many links, fake and old skills, etc. need guidance from experts, and it takes decades or even longer to accumulate. Therefore, the output cannot be improved suddenly. There is a balance between technology and scale; secondly, both antique circles know each other's roots, and they know wherever there are any abnormal movements. Also, there is also a saying that there are six major antique markets in the northern Shanxi region that specialize in delivering goods there, but they really quit since last year. People's business will be done. Why? Repeatedly interrogating and stammering admit that they have picked up the goods from Zhuo Qiang! This is a really amazing move."

After thinking for a long time, Fang Sheng said:

"Mr. Gu believes that Zhuoqiang's Jinxi Fraud Group will become the biggest beneficiary of the eradication of the fraud industry chain?"

"The biggest, and the only one!" Gu Kaixi said word by word, "What I dare to guarantee my life is absolutely nothing!"

Fang Sheng said: "As the central work of the whole province, the provincial government of the Commission has strictly supervised it. According to the saying that the law enforcement standards and standards of each city have unified regulations. How could there be a situation where the northern and eastern areas of Shanxi Province strictly enforce the law, and the western cities of Shanxi Province have a sideline?

"Chief Fang Shen is talking about the vital points!"

Speaking of this, Gu Kaixi suddenly stood up and opened the door quickly at a speed that was not commensurate with his age. Seeing that Guan Jin was the only one in the distance of the corridor, he breathed a sigh of relief and locked the door. "Today, I dared to speak out in front of Chief Fang Shen. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me."

"Mr. Gu, but it's okay."

"Frankly speaking, if the counterfeiting industry wants to become bigger and stronger, it is certain that no one in the main palace can do it. Therefore, there are protective umbrellas from counties to cities in western Shanxi, northern Shanxi, and eastern Shanxi. This is an open secret. I believe that Fang Shen can understand it. To eradicate the counterfeiting industry chain, at first, all cities thought that it was enough to do some superficial articles as usual. Unexpectedly, the province sent inspection teams to antique streets, antique shops, and rural workshops to conduct open and secret investigations. After obtaining the evidence, they went back to report. Then they were held accountable, dismissed, and so on, forcing a group of cadres to work hard..."

Gu Kaixi continued to speak in one breath, and Fang Sheng interrupted:
