Chapter 415: Receipt
The car was speeding on the road that broke from time to time, Jenny and Britney's two bodyguards sat in the last row and took a nap, Ye Zhenggen held the steering wheel, carefully avoiding the pits, trying to keep the car stable, Tuan vigilantly paid attention to the movement ahead, his right hand was always on the left side, and he could take out the pistol hidden under his arm at any time in order to deal with possible accidents.
"Oliver," Chen Dahe said depressedly, "I have always wondered why you are reluctant to take a plane to Shanghai, and transferring from there can save at least two days." ”
How comfortable it is to take a plane, it will take three or four hours to arrive, and then transfer to the car, you can get to Wu County on the same day, which is like driving there now, at least two or three days.
"Because I want to see the scenery of China," Oliver resisted the urge to roll his eyes, did it make it difficult for you to travel with her mother?
"Oh, so that's the case," Chen Dahe grabbed the handrail to avoid being driven by the shaking body, and said with a smile unconsciously, "The scenery in the mainland is indeed very good, there is a saying in China, called ten miles of different winds and five miles of different customs, if you walk slowly you can see a lot of different scenery, but unfortunately this time you have to hurry, otherwise you will have a lot of different experiences if you travel all the way." ”
"Really?" Oliver suddenly became interested, "Then next time we find a time, let's have a good time again?!"
Chen Dahe shrugged his shoulders humorously, "That's probably no chance, I'm going to study abroad in two months, and I can only come back during the winter and summer vacations, and I have to accompany my family and Sissi in such a short time, it seems that you can only find someone else to accompany you." ”
Oliver rolled his eyes, "Spoiled." ”
Isn't there a shortage of people to accompany the old lady?
The straight-line distance from Beijin to Wuxian is more than 1,000 kilometers, and there is no highway at this time, so you can only take the winding national highway, and it took about two and a half days to reach the destination.
This road is not all smooth sailing, although it is not yet eighty-three years now, but the public security environment is not optimistic, from time to time there are roadblocks and tolls, robbery while the fire is burning, touching porcelain blackmail, all kinds of bad things are really a lot, but with Ye Zhenggen and Tu'an's vigilance and the two pistols in their hands, there are no dangers along the way.
But what they saw and heard along the way also made Oliver frightened, Jenny and Britney even disappeared without a trace of the remaining arrogance, before coming, the two of them thought that they could protect Oliver from danger to reach the destination, but they didn't expect it to be frightening step by step, if there were no Ye Zhenggen and Tuan, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have scum left.
After a year, when I came to Wu County again, Director He, Ma Lao, Wu Lao, and Li Lao also remembered Chen Dahe and Oliver vividly, and they were warmly received.
Oliver was also very happy to come to the Wuxian Silk Factory again, but now she only had the Indian hunting silk map in her heart, and she couldn't accommodate anything anymore.
Chen Dahe understood her thoughts, so he smiled at Director He, "Director He, I'm sorry, Miss Jones wants to see the finished silk diagram as soon as possible, I don't know if it's convenient?"
"Of course it's no problem," Director He laughed loudly, and then beckoned inside, "Pony, bring me the silk diagram you made." ”
It was still the delicate and demure female handmaiden in her twenties, who walked over with a roll of cloth in her hand, spread the roll of cloth on the large wooden table, and a picture of Indian hunting appeared in front of everyone.
Oliver threw himself in front of the table, from top to bottom, from left to right, little by little, piece by piece, carefully observed, after reading, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and without waiting for Director He and a few people to speak, he took a painting tube from Jenny's hand, took out an identical oil painting, and carefully compared it.
After more than an hour, Oliver stood up straight, probably lying on her stomach for too long, and a little dizzy when she stood up, her body shook and almost fell, Chen Dahe hurriedly supported her.
"Thank you," Oliver looked up and smiled, then turned his head to look at Master Pony, "Miss Ma, your craftsmanship is very exquisite, although in some places it does not match the original drawing, but I can see that this is due to the craftsmanship, in terms of effect, I feel that your method seems to be better, I am very satisfied with this silk drawing, and I will pay the balance immediately." ”
Master Pony smiled faintly, "Thank you, I'm afraid that the weaving will not be good, so I specially knitted two pieces, do you want to see the other one?"
Oliver looked at her in amazement, then at Chen Dahe, then at him with a smile on his face, "Okay." ”
Master Pony turned and went to the weaving mill, and soon came out, still holding a roll of cloth in his hand.
Putting the original volume away, Oliver took a closer look at the second scroll again.
For more than an hour, Oliver held the table, stood up straight, and looked at Master Ma with admiration on his face, "Miss Ma, you are amazing, the same picture, with different techniques to weave different styles, but no matter which one it is, it is not inferior to the original picture, you are a well-deserved artist!"
Master Pony smiled slightly, "Don't dare to be, just like it, then which of these two pictures do you choose?"
"Both of them," Oliver said categorically, "still at the price originally agreed, and I will buy them at the same price!"
Master Pony was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at his master Chen Lao, who in turn looked at Director He.
Director He grinned, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Dahe interrupted him with a smile, "Director He, we signed an agreement last year,"
As he spoke, he pointed to Master Pony, "We will have the right of first refusal to acquire all of this Master Ma's works, right?"
Director He smiled bitterly and nodded, "Comrade Chen, what you said, did I say that this silk picture will not be sold to you!"
"Not only this silk picture, but also Master Pony's works in the future, you will all have the exclusive right to buy them!"
Chen Dahe smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Then thank you Director He!"
"You're welcome, it should be, it should be," Director He shook his hand with a smile on his face, since this kid came last year, he can ask a friend to inquire, almost all the foreign-related departments of Beijin will sell him a little face, although he will not work in the Ministry of Culture later, but the influence is still there, not to mention that he bids high, even if the bid is a little lower than others, it must be the priority to sell him!
One party is willing to buy, and the other party is willing to sell, so naturally the transaction is smooth.
After the money and goods were cleared, Chen Dahe and his entourage declined Director He's invitation to stay for dinner, and directly got into the car and left with two silk pictures.
But when the car drove to the corner of the street, Chen Dahe asked Ye Zhenggen to stop, then got out of the car, found an old man who sold newspapers on the side of the road, handed over a banknote, and said a few words at the same time, waiting for the old man to leave, and then returned to the car.
"Is there anything wrong?" Oliver asked, looking at him curiously, "At this time, I should send these two silk drawings away first, and leave them alone if there is nothing important." ”
"Very important," Chen Dahe looked at her and smiled, "Wait, there will be results soon." ”
Oliver didn't know why, but seeing that Chen Dahe refused to say, he didn't ask anymore, now the two pictures are guarded by Jenny and Britney, and Ye Zhenggen and Tu'an are there, both of them have pistols, there shouldn't be any surprises.
It didn't take long to wait, and after just ten minutes, the old man who sold the newspaper returned to the stall.
At this time, Oliver's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise, and it was the pony master who came with the old man.
