Chapter 597: The Eight Giants
When he heard the name "Zhang Chi", not only Tuoba Gong was stunned, but even Wang Lingshan was shocked.
Wang Lingshan didn't know about Li Hai's acquaintance with "Zhang Chi". Hurriedly asked, "Dahai, how do you know this Zhang Chi?"
So Lehi told the crowd what had happened. said that all this stems from the "dragon chair" that was auctioned at the French auction house.
After Wang Lingshan heard what Li Hai said, she smiled. He asked Lehi, "Dahai, do you know who this Zhang Chi is?"
"Isn't he the president of the Antique Collection Association?" Li Hai frowned, and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that Zhang Chi has another identity?"
Wang Lingshan nodded and asked Li Hai, "Have you heard of the four young people in the capital?"
"Yes, I'm afraid the whole country knows about this, right?"
Wang Lingshan explained to Li Hai: "Then you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. There are a total of eight giants in the capital!"
"Eight giants?" Lehi was taken aback when he heard this.
Wang Lingshan nodded and said, "This is only known to the upper circles." These eight wealthy families include the Wang family, the Shen family, the Ding family, and the Zhao family. The other four are the Tang family, the Zhang family, the Yu family, and the Tuoba family. Speaking of this, Wang Lingshan glanced at Tuoba Gongyi beside him, and exclaimed, "Hey! By the way, Tuoba is also surnamed Tuoba?"
Tuoba nodded. And did not explain his identity. Li Hai didn't break the Tuoba Gong Loss, he only knew that the background of the "Tuoba Gong Losing" was very powerful, but he didn't expect that it was also one of the eight giants.
After listening to Wang Lingshan's explanation, Li Hai suddenly realized and said, "Lingshan, do you mean that the old gentleman named Zhang Chi is the Zhang family, one of the eight wealthy families?"
Wang Lingshan nodded and said to Li Hai: "Let me tell you, Old Man Zhang has a very strange personality, and it is rare to see him treat people well. So, don't mess with this old man. ”
"Don't worry! We're going to eat, not to fight. ”
Li Hai suddenly remembered something, and asked Wang Lingshan again, "Lingshan, is the Tang family of the eight wealthy families Wei Xun's father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"Yes! Wei Xun took advantage of the Tang family's wealth. ”
At this moment, Lehi realized that he was still thinking too simply. Perhaps, it is possible to defeat the Ding family and the Zhao family in the capital commercially. But as long as the old man Ding and the old man of the Zhao family find their own trouble, then they will be doomed. This is also the purpose of Li Hai coming to the capital to find the old man Wang Zhan, wanting to hear his opinion.
Li Hai and his entourage arrived at a restaurant called "Old Eight Pieces". When he arrived at Zhang Chi's private room, as soon as Li Hai entered the door, he saw an old man in his sixties with a red face, and asked himself with a smile, "Is it Li Hai?"
Li Hai had never seen Zhang Chi, so he nodded, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Zhang Chi and said, "I've seen Zhang Lao!"
Zhang Chi shook hands with Li Hai, and then his eyes fell on Wang Lingshan behind Li Hai. teased Wang Lingshan: "Girl Shan, you don't say hello when you see me?"
"Hello Grandpa Zhang!" Wang Lingshan smiled and said hello to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi pointed at Li Hai and asked Wang Lingshan with a smile, "Girl Shan." I heard that this kid Lehi is your boyfriend? ”
Zhang Chi looked at Li Hai carefully, looking left and right from time to time, as if he was looking at his son-in-law.
Wang Lingshan pouted and said to Zhang Chi: "Grandpa Zhang, why do you look at Li Hai like that? You don't have a granddaughter, don't think about it!"
"You girl!" Zhang Chi grinned.
Zhang Chi's gaze suddenly fell on Tuoba Gongyi's body, and he was shocked. He asked, "Hey, are you the grandson of that old man from Tuoba Peak?"
Tuoba Gong lost his hand to Zhang Chi and said, "I've seen Grandpa Zhang, I'm Tuoba Gong of the Tuoba family." ”
Zhang Chi let out an "oh" and said to Tuoba Gongyi: "It's you! I heard that you were not treated well by the Tuoba family back then, and you were left out by the Tuoba family. ”
"Well, I went to Province J with my nurse. ”
After Tuoba Gong finished speaking, he looked at Lehi. It just so happened that Lehi's gaze came over, and both of them understood each other's thoughts.
Zhang Chi looked at Xu Rou, Luo Ge, and Zhao Jianjun again, and felt that Li Hai's subordinates were full of talents, and they really deserved to do great things.
I have to say that Zhang Chi's hospitality is particularly thoughtful. I ordered the specialty food of this shop.
Li Hai deliberately sandwiched a dish for Tuoba Gongyi, and teased him: "Tuoba, did you have a big meal this time?"
Tuoba Gong smiled embarrassedly, since he saw Zhang Chi, he has become extremely honest. There is a world difference between it and the previous Tuoba Gong who didn't take anything into account.
Tuoba Gongyi whispered to Li Hai: "Anyway, your kid is not short of money now, I will have to slaughter you sooner or later." ”
"I'm not afraid that you will eat, but I am afraid that you will burst your belly!" Li Hai smiled quietly, raised his wine glass to Zhang Chi and said, "Old Zhang, I respect you!"
Zhang Chi smiled: "Then I will rely on the old and sell the old!"
The two touched the glass lightly and drank the wine from the cup.
Li Hai felt a little strange, Wang Lingshan said before that Zhang Chi had a very strange personality. But he didn't think Zhang Chi was weird?
After eating, Zhang Chi took the initiative to arrange for Li Hai and others to stay in his guild hall.
Li Hai thought to himself that it would not be convenient to take so many people to join the Wang family, so he agreed to Zhang Chi's arrangement.
After eating. Lehi was a little tired and was about to get some sleep. I heard the door knock on ...... door.
"Come in!"
Lehi rolled over and sat up.
The person who came in was none other than Zhang Chi.
I saw Zhang Chi smile excitedly, and greeted Li Hai and said, "Li Hai! You can see that the dragon chair is very valuable, and it hides a mechanism." The description is also a person who understands antiques. Come, help me palm my eyes. ”
Zhang Chi couldn't help but say something, and pulled Li Hai out.
This club has a small collection room for Zhang Chi.
In his life, Zhang Chi's biggest hobby is "collecting", and he is doing the work of the Eight Classics, which is the development of geological treasures. For example, somewhere to dig an ancient tomb, or to take people to mine gold, and so on.
But. Zhang Chi's own collections are all collected or bought. Because, the Zhang family is not bad for money, and it is one of the eight wealthy families in the capital. Moreover, antique investment is also a very popular investment in recent years. This thing seems to burn money, but if you come across the right collection, it is very profitable. Because, in the circle of the rich, it is very popular to invest in antique collections.
Zhang Chi's small collection room has a lot of rich collections. There are root carvings, jade, agate, jewelry, and a very important collection, extraterrestrial meteorites.
Zhang Chi pointed to a root carving and asked Li Hai with a smile: "Li Hai!
Where did Lehi know what antiques. However, his "eye in the sky" can scan the curves of people and objects. Includes analysis of species. The curve of future value is indicated on the label.
Li Hai only glanced at it with the eyes of heaven, and saw through everything, and smiled at Zhang Chi: "Grandpa Zhang! If my guess is correct. It is a staghorn tree that you should pick up from the water when you go up to the mountain to collect the wind. After you get it back, you polish it and brush it with natural oil, which will give people the illusion of ecological wood!"
Zhang Chi listened. He gave Lehi a thumbs up and said with a smile: "That's amazing! I used this staghorn wood to fool countless experts." I didn't expect to be broken by you. And say that you kid doesn't know how to do it, and you are too modest, but you are proud!"
"Grandpa Zhang, how dare I get an axe in front of you?"
"I don't want to hear what you say! Academically, regardless of age. Whoever speaks is authoritative, he will be powerful! Come and help me see this piece of jade again. ”
In a corner, Zhang Chi pointed to a rough stone with a green edge exposed, and asked Li Hai, "What do you guess will be found in this rough stone?"
Lehi said, "Grandpa Zhang, guess what?"
"Emeralds by all means! Look at the jade on the outside, which is the texture of emerald. ”
Li Hai shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang, you can't look at the surface of everything. This piece of wool is just the jade on the outside that is broken. If you don't believe it, you can open the material and take a look?......"
