Chapter 305: True Coincidence (2)
There is no sense of joy at all to reunite after a long absence.
After seeing Li Liu, Fan Liancheng was a little wary.
is mainly worried that she will talk nonsense in front of Han Xiaowen, causing her to explain something to Xiaowen afterwards, judging from his usual personality, it is actually quite annoying.
When I was young, I was shallow in knowledge, and I had a good impression when I saw that Li Liu was okay in all aspects, but now when we meet again, I have no thoughts at all.
There are many beautiful girls who choose to take the initiative to contact Fan Liancheng on weekdays, such as Luo Jing, who has never been in front of Xiaowen until now, her family is also engaged in real estate business in the magic capital, and the scale is okay, she may have retreated because of the difficulties, and she has not taken the initiative to find Fan Liancheng recently.
That kind of Bai Fumei can be pushed out, let alone Li Liu.
Now when I meet Li Liu, it is difficult to make waves in his heart, his horizons have indeed broadened, and he also wants to understand some things that he couldn't figure out back then, so he smiled politely and said hello, and then calmly said to Xiaowen:
"I may have to stay in London for a day or two more, and wait for the company to negotiate a result, whether it is a vote or not, I will go back when the time comes, you hurry up and finish your business, and arrange a route to the casino when the time comes, and some documents need to be signed by me personally." ”
Han Xiaowen smiled and nodded, and then asked with interest: "Miss Li, it's really a coincidence, what was he like when he was in college? I only know that he is very rebellious and willful, and he hasn't mentioned anything else to me." ”
Fan Liancheng was helpless when he heard this, but he didn't rush to answer, it was a long time ago, and there was nothing that could not be said.
After recovering from the short-term blindfolded state, Li Liu's expression was still a little stiff, and he said with a smile: "Just like a very ordinary international student, until he left school, I always thought that my family was very ....... Not rich.
It looks really similar, once Fan Liancheng himself said that the school laundry room is too expensive, and he often washes his own clothes during the bath, not only me, but other domestic international students have also been deceived, and it is really interesting to look back on it now......"
Whether it's really interesting or not, Li Liu himself doesn't know.
Anyway, to Han Xiaowen's ears, it was really interesting, I originally thought that Fan Liancheng said that she had a miserable life in college, but it was not too rich, just like her living expenses of 3,000 yuan a month when she first entered college, and then she found out that it was really very provincial.
The contrast is so great that Han Xiaowen has a hard time believing that it is really Fan Liancheng, since the two met, she has only seen spending money lavishly, buying private jets, super sailboats, islands, and mansions, so she laughed happily.
Fan Liancheng was slightly helpless and explained: "It's really expensive, washing clothes and dryers are charged separately, just rubbing clothes in summer, it's not easy to earn money by working by yourself at that time." ”
As soon as she heard this kind of words, Li Liu was full of anger, she looked at the bodyguards around her, and then looked at the dress, thinking that since her family had a lot of money, what did she do when she teased her group of people.
Originally, there were international students who watched Fan Liancheng's jokes, and joked that he came out to study, but he was busy working all day long, and did not go to other visa-free countries in Europe to go around and have fun.
Looking at it now, Fan Liancheng has made them all a joke, including Li Liu.
......
Since he was not very happy to meet, Fan Liancheng naturally did not take the initiative to say anything, and after chatting casually, he accompanied Xiaowen to look at the surrounding exhibits.
The sculpture he was eyeing just now was a huge copper fat bear, riding a small bicycle, and his demeanor was quite funny.
So after asking the price, even if the sculptor who created this work was famous, Fan Liancheng still paid it off on the spot, and asked people to send it to Kensington Palace Garden Street when the time came, and spent more than 300,000 pounds together with the two small sculptures, and even didn't ask Li Liu to come forward to help reduce the price, so she naturally couldn't get the commission, and she was not embarrassed to take the initiative to mention it.
Hearing the house number, the staff was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to tell that if you are creative, you can contact the sculptor to customize it.
Wandering all the way to "Balloon Dog", my self-esteem is not worth the commission that I might get.
Li Liu was finally slightly embarrassed and introduced: "This huge mirrored stainless steel sculpture, which is the work of Jeff Koons, is very collectible, the price has been increasing, a total of only five works have been created, the color is different, this yellow balloon dog is the most expensive item for sale in the exhibition." ”
The person standing next to him was a little shorter than the balloon dog, Fan Liancheng was surprised: "It's really big, just this thing sells for more than 20 million US dollars?" It feels so simple, you can just find a factory to spend tens of thousands of yuan to make it, and the mass production cost is lower, although my dad likes to collect, but sometimes I really don't understand the ideas of collectors, there is no history and no background, and the price is really high to frightening." ”
More than ten years ago, five pieces were just made, and they were sold at such a sky-high price, although he understood the truth that the market determines value, Fan Liancheng still felt a little incredible.
Han Xiaowen stared at the balloon dog and said happily: "Sell fame, not all works of art are like this, the price is also high when the fame is big, as long as someone is willing to take over, the price will not collapse, and the appreciation potential is indeed very large." ”
"The truth is that's right, but I feel a bit of a loss, I really don't have too many artistic cells, and I can't appreciate it. Fan Liancheng just spent a sum of money to buy the bear sculpture, because he liked it, and it was cheap.
At this time, looking at "Balloon Dog", which has no bright spots, I don't think it's very interesting, and the price is really expensive, so I don't have the idea of paying for it.
Fan Liancheng's gaze swept over Li Liu, and he understood that he might be an intermediary or something, and it was impossible to spend a huge amount of money for the sake of a little trivial old friendship, so he walked neatly and continued to look at other objects.
In the next hour or so, I bought a bunch of cheap gadgets, planned to put them in the study and display shelves as decorations, and spent more than 100,000 yuan one after another.
Li Liu's idea of making a quick sum of money was in vain, and Fan Liancheng herself had nothing to do with herself if she was rich, so she was quite calm, and after following for a while, she didn't want to stay longer, and offered to say that there was something in the store, so she left first.
Fan Liancheng didn't keep it, and Han Xiaowen didn't.
After she left, the corners of Han Xiaowen's mouth turned up, and she laughed: "You said before that you became a transparent person at that time, and was ignored by an international student from China, should it be her? ”
Fan Liancheng rolled his eyes and said: "What year is it, who hasn't had a young and ignorant old yellow calendar, there is no problem with the party, it is best to put it in the yard at that time, so as not to spoil the new house, I have already mentioned it to my old classmates, there should be a lot of people." ”
Han Xiaowen didn't ask any more questions, and told him: "No problem, I like the grass in the yard very much, no wonder the book says that the British climate is suitable for raising cattle and sheep, it is really very dense, it should be okay to step on it." You weren't at home during the day, and a magpie came running to the door, and I was not afraid to see people, and I almost stepped on it......"
