Chapter 270: Zhang Daqian

Luxury companies can't do it overnight, and the renovation period is quite elaborate, with thirty or forty stores around the world currently under renovation, and the fastest one will not open until October.

Kiko Mochizuki's work is not too busy, and a lot of time is spent on the road, running on both sides of the United States and Europe, and the flight mileage is rapidly increasing.

This Labor Day holiday, she naturally followed the rest.

Hearing that he was going to buy a work of art, he asked Han Chudong with interest: "I remember you said that you wanted to build a small museum on that piece of land in Beverly Hills, have you already started thinking about buying art?"

"Let's forget about the museum for the time being, even if it's just to transport the materials for building the house, it may be blocked by the residents along the way, I want to make my manor quieter, or don't ask for trouble." ”

Han Chudong looked down at the information and said, "Playing collecting, the fun is to choose items that satisfy me when I have spare money, just like you women buying jewelry, I don't have much interest in sports events, and I don't like the idea of any star, in addition to work, I should always find some other hobbies...... In addition to other hobbies. ”

Mochizuki Kiko nodded, in her opinion, Han Chudong's life was indeed a bit monotonous.

"It's always fulfilling to have something you like to do, and it's not a waste to collect art, it's a very meaningful thing, and I see that many rich people seem to like to collect them." ”

"Well, I don't have any feelings, I just want to buy it, and I just want to see the "Six Dragons" later, I just know that it is cool and has a long history. ”

“...... Every time I come back I hear what you bought, last time it was a mansion, last time it was a manor, this time it was a plane, Mason, I think you should control your own shopping desires, but you earn your own money, so it doesn't matter. ”

Han Chudong calmly replied: "I should be able to spend less in the future, I have almost bought everything I want, yachts can be rented, occasionally go out to sea to fish, blow the sea breeze, and spend money to buy it yourself, it is better to invest the funds in the movie project first." ”

Kiko Mochizuki doesn't have a temper.

Although she has known each other for so long, she still feels that Han Chudong's life is very unreal, anyway, it is not the ordinary days she is familiar with.

It is precisely because he feels that the gap is too big, so now he is more like he is at peace with his encounter, he does not claim to be a girlfriend, and he has never fantasized about being able to get married one day, etc., it is difficult to imagine that he can tame a man like him.

Usually busy with work, take advantage of the need to walk around at work, from time to time you can get some clothes, shoes and bags and other employee benefits, and will also be invited to participate in the fashion industry product launch, such a life is already very good in her opinion, far more than she expected when she first worked.

What's not to be satisfied with, she is the kind of woman who is easily contented......

Sitting in the car and chatting, he quickly left Los Angeles and saw the name of Orange County on the roadside sign.

Located southeast of Los Angeles, the county was famous for its oranges, and you can still see orange trees on the roadside.

The destination of their trip was Fullerton City, and according to the address given by the consultant, it took some time to find the exact location, which was a single-family villa in a Japanese-American gathering area, with a small garden in front and back, and a Jaguar car parked in front of the door.

Seeing a figure walking by the window, Han Chudong breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that no one was at home on the way here.

After getting out of the car, I sorted out my clothes, looked at the mailbox, and found that the address and house number were correct, so I asked the bodyguards and assistants to wait on the side of the road, and personally stepped forward to knock on the door, and the door was quickly opened.

The old Asian man saw Han Chudong wearing a suit and leather shoes, listening to three black cars on the side of the road, and some strong men in black suits standing, and sighed: "I just put the garbage next to the trash can, and I have already apologized at the owners' meeting after the neighbors complained, so there is no need for so many people to come, right? Give me some time, I have to contact my lawyer, I should have known that I should not have immigrated to the United States, alas." ”

Mochizuki Kiko was obviously not a qualified translator, and briefly told Han Chudong in English: "He took us for police officers, thinking that he was coming to arrest him because of the garbage." ”

Han Chudong's expression was happy when he heard it, and he said: "Ask him if he is called Ikuta Yudai, who has collected many Chinese cultural relics, and if so, I know the deputy director of Chiba Kuan of the Tokyo National Museum, and I have contacted him and want to buy "Six Dragons" from him." ”

Mochizuki Kiko finished asking in Japanese, and the old man replied in Japanese, Han Chudong didn't understand a word, only heard a name that seemed familiar.

After understanding the situation, Mochizuki Kiko relayed: "He is indeed Ikuta Yuda, and he does have the collection of the ancient flower, but he said that he recently lent it to a famous Chinese painter named Zhang Daqian to view, and he didn't want to sell it, and he also said that he told the deputy director of Chiba Kuan that he didn't want to sell it." ”

Han Chudong knew about this matter, and he came to visit in person today, and he originally had the idea of taking the opportunity to get over it even if he couldn't buy it.

With a strange look, Han Chudong asked: "Ask again, is it the very famous Zhang Daqian who has a white beard and is good at painting with a brush?"

immediately got an affirmative answer, isn't it that Zhang Daqian?

When asking for the address, a collector named Yudai Ikuta learned that Han Chudong was going to visit Zhang Daqian, and took the initiative to ask if he could go together, and said that he did not have a driver's license and could not take a taxi in English.

Not far away.

The old man told him that Zhang Daqian lived in Santa Anna in Orange County, where he rented a house, and in the middle of last month he was borrowed along with the Six Dragons, along with a Song Dynasty painting of Guanyin Ape and Crane.

Han Chudong didn't know the painting behind it, but when he heard that it was an old thing from the Song Dynasty, he felt that it should have some value, and tirelessly asked this old man how he was willing to cut his love.

After the other party finished answering, Mochizuki Kiko was puzzled: "He said that he used to run a hospital and was not short of money, unless you can exchange it with an oil painting of Shishkin, no matter what size, otherwise he will not sell it." ”

"Shishkin?

Han Chudong was confused.

He didn't know, and Kiko Mochizuki didn't know either.

After asking, I learned that he was a 19th-century Russian landscape painter, famous for painting natural landscapes.

He resolutely took out his satellite phone and called the secretaries who stayed at the company, asking them to find a way to contact the auction houses to see if they could find Shishkin's oil paintings.

He is not afraid that the old man will pay a high price, or ask for tricky and eccentric, he is afraid that the other party will not be willing to cut his love, since he has a request, he thinks that it should be easy to do......
