Chapter 67: Empty-handed
The old house of the Zhou family is full of people who come to celebrate their birthday.
Although the Zhou family is not a top wealthy family in Los Angeles, the popularity of Mr. Zhou is still good, and with Wu Haoran's relationship, many people from all walks of life have come.
Everyone wishes the old man good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan.
Among them, the most well-known is the local singer Haiya, a high song, the singing is melodious, and the atmosphere of the entire Zhou family's old house is instantly lively.
When Haiya finished singing, Wu Haoran took the opportunity to get up, took out a scroll, and sent it to Old Man Zhou.
"Grandpa, Yun Xi said that you like celebrity calligraphy and painting, this is my birthday gift from Yun Xi and me, Wang Hui's heirloom work, and the portrait of the general A Gui!"
Wu Haoran unfolded the painting scroll, and the general in the painting was wearing armor, which was extraordinary, especially the lines of the face, which were extremely delicate, showing the painter's profound skills.
All the relatives and friends present let out a burst of amazement.
The Wu family is the Wu family, and the shot is extraordinary, although they don't know who Wang Hui is, but the calligraphy and painting of the ancients will not be cheap.
"Young Master Wu is generous, and he is a famous painting as soon as he makes a shot!"
"Yes, Yunxi is really blessed!"
Old Man Zhou was full of joy, couldn't put it down, and praised Wu Haoran for his heart.
Seeing this, Zhou Tong deliberately provoked: "Zhou Muxue, today is grandpa's birthday, you have made so much money, what kind of gift do you give!"
Zhou Tong deliberately said that the words were very heavy, which instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of other relatives, and they all focused on Zhou Muxue.
The surrounding guests also heard about Zhiqiang Building Materials and talked about it in a whisper.
"She is Zhou Muxue, shoddy, engaged in tofu scum project, fortunately, God has eyes and collapsed a wall, otherwise I don't know how many people will die in the future!"
"How can this kind of person still have the face to sit here, he should go to jail!"
"Shhhh
"So what, the Ding family did not issue the same announcement to completely cancel the cooperation with Zhiqiang Building Materials, but unfortunately a large number of investors were pitted, and the construction site was still suspended. ”
Everyone was gossiping, and many of them had relatives at home, and they all pointed at Zhou Muxue behind their backs and scolded.
Zhou Muxue looked at Song Li, only to see him stand up with a smile, and said empty-handed: "I wish the old man good health and all the best!"
When the words fell, the audience was shocked, and even Old Man Zhou was stunned.
That's it?
It's also his eightieth birthday, Song Li, this kid is too child's play, why don't you have to make a perfect tonic soup.
"Song Li, is this gone?" asked Old Man Zhou.
"No, old man, what else do you want, gifts don't matter how important they are, what matters is sincerity, right?" Song Li said with a smile.
Zhou Tong seized the opportunity, and said with a weird smile: "Song Li, you are too picky, you will give this to grandpa's eightieth birthday, the wings are stiff, don't put grandpa in your eyes, right?"
The surrounding guests whispered, and there was a contemptuous laughter.
"It's too picky, why can't you even give a gift. ”
"Have you heard of it, this Song Li has been eating soft rice at home, maybe it was his idea to use inferior building materials. ”
Zhou Muxue was embarrassed, she didn't expect Song Li to come empty-handed.
Shen Qin was even more angry, she felt that Song Li was doing it on purpose, obviously trying to make her family ugly, but she was embarrassed to speak for the sake of face.
Wu Haoran suddenly got up and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Song Li is right, no matter how big or small the gift is, sincerity is the most important, I think he is very sincere!"
"Young Master Wu, you're right, I'm really very sincere, I can't bring my gifts, I can only grieve the old man to go on a trip in person, I want him to go to my house to recuperate for a while, and I will personally condition his body!"
When Zhou Tong heard this, he laughed and said: "Go to your house to recuperate, Song Li, are you crazy, your house is not as big as your grandfather's courtyard, go to your house, do you have a place to live, or do you want your grandfather to live in the living room!"
"Zhou Tong, a few days ago, a house of 95 million was discharged from the Huhai Villa, have you heard of this?" Song Li suddenly asked.
"I've heard of it, why are you mentioning this, could it be that you bought it!" Zhou Tong had a disdainful expression.
"Brother Tong, you are right again, it was Mu Xue who asked people to buy it, just to surprise the old man, the old man has always wanted to live in the lake and sea villa, I am not wrong!"
The words fell, and the audience was shocked.
Many people know that the lake and sea villa was sold, but it is not clear who the girl who bought the mansion is.
It wasn't until Song Li said it that he knew that Zhou Muxue sent someone to buy it.
The eyes of the relatives of the Zhou family were straight when they heard this, it was a mansion of hundreds of millions of dollars, where did this family come up with so much money.
Old Man Zhou didn't have much touch, who Song Li was, he knew the roots, if he couldn't afford it, no one would be able to buy it.
Wu Haoran's eyes widened, he didn't believe that Zhou Muxue could buy it, it was 95 million, even Ding Liang couldn't take out so much money.
Could it be Song Li's money?
How is this possible, this guy is just a waste who eats soft rice, and it is impossible to conjure up so much money out of thin air.
"Okay, Song Li, this gift is really good, a mansion of 95 million, I have never lived in it old man!"
Old Man Zhou spoke, and Zhou Tong was suddenly like a deflated ball.
He originally wanted to use the matter of gift-giving to cause a series of difficulties, causing relatives and guests to hate Zhou Muxue and forcing her to a dead end.
Unexpectedly, Song Li suddenly announced this shocking news, which completely disrupted his plan, but it didn't matter, he still had a follow-up move.
At this moment, Song Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, although my gift is not expensive, it is very sincere, unlike some people, famous families, who even give fakes, really everyone is blind!"
Song Li pointed out, Wu Haoran's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Song Li, what do you mean, you said that the painting I sent is fake?"
Zhou Yunxi also shouted: "Song Li, you are a waste who eats soft rice, you also know how to distinguish the real from the fake, you also deserve to appreciate the heirloom work, you don't even know who Wang Hui is!"
Zhou Tong also shouted: "That's right, Song Li, if you can explain the ins and outs and prove that this painting is fake, I will swallow it on the spot!"
Song Li sneered, walked up to the old man, and asked for the scroll.
He unfolded the picture scroll in public and said with a smile: "Wang Hui, the word Shigu, known as the saint of painting in the early Qing Dynasty, and Wang Jian, Wang Shimin, and Wang Yuanqi are collectively known as the Four Kings of Landscape, this person is extremely good at landscape painting, but there are very few portraits in the world!"
Zhou Tong was very surprised, but he didn't expect Song Li to really understand.
"Song Li, good at landscape painting, very few in the world, it doesn't mean that Haoran sent a fake, it was introduced by my friend, and there are expert appraisal certificates, are you more powerful than those experts!"
"Oh, it's your friend again, the one who sold your blood lingzhi?" Song Li said with a smile.
Zhou Tong's face suddenly turned red, and he had the heart to refute, but he couldn't speak, because he really bought it back from that friend, and the price was 800,000.
"Zhou Tong, Young Master Wu, in fact, Wang Hui's painting is not valuable, five years ago, the auction in the United States sold a picture of Wang Hui's Taibai Guanquan, but it was only sold for 470,000, you don't know how to do it, it is estimated that about 800,000 yuan will be recovered. ”
Song Li said exactly what he said, Zhou Tong was speechless, but he still didn't believe that Song Li could really tell the truth from the false.
"Song Li, even if I buy it expensive, famous paintings will appreciate in value, if you want to say that it is fake, please come up with evidence!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, this painting is indeed a good painting, but the counterfeiter made a fatal mistake, the figure in the painting is the scholar A Gui, a favorite of the Qianlong Emperor, born in 1717, while Wang Hui was a man from the Kangxi period in the early Qing Dynasty and died in 1717. ”
A fine light flashed in Song Li's eyes, and he pointed at Zhou Tong.
"Zhou Tong, if this painting is true, it is Wang Hui who painted a baby's heroic posture in the future of adulthood before he died, may I ask, is it that the university scholar Ah Gui traveled back to paint it for him?"
When the words fell, the audience burst into laughter.
Zhou Tongsheng blushed, but he couldn't refute it, the facts were in front of him, a person who was dying couldn't draw a person decades later.
Damn, I was pitted by my friends again.
"Brother Tong, I am willing to gamble and lose, eat, everyone is watching. Song Li said with a smile.
