in the compartment.

Wang Chen listened quietly as Zhang Liang and Old Luton negotiated the price of the Médoc vineyard.

He didn't care about the dog head, but this piece of land was related to his vital interests, and he had to care.

Wang Chen was secretly happy.

Fortunately, Zhang Liang was afraid of the loss of three billion euros at the beginning, otherwise this money would not be his turn to earn, because once Zhang Liang is willing to bear the loss and invest, the final premium will naturally be Zhang Liang's side.

Diamonds have no value in themselves, and they can only prove their value when they are exchanged for money.

Even if the mission fails, with the global diamond resources in the Northern Song Dynasty have not been developed, he will not feel very distressed, fortunately, this time the bet was successful, it was worth it.

Investment is risky, once the investment is successful, the rate of return is also huge, such as Wang Chen, if this plan fails, may only get this piece of grape planting land worth more than 2 billion euros, coincidentally, for him, land resources, mineral resources, etc. are wasted, because assuming that Wang Chen wants to engage in the wine industry, he only needs to find a suitable place for planting in the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the vineyard is equivalent to a failed investment for him.

Money is different, after having money, Wang Chen can't buy anything, go back to which tribe in Africa to cooperate, give some benefits, and let Hei Ge legally import arms from Lao Maozi or Lao Mei, and then bring them to the Northern Song Dynasty, which can enhance his own strength.

Besides, in modern society, if you have money, you can drive a luxury car and live in a luxury house, what luxury cruise ships and private jets can not be as long as you have money?

Zhang Liang looked at Old Luton and said slowly: "Mr. Luton, it's not easy to find a suitable piece of land with a good view of the manor, I can't help but pick the Médoc, and now I have to waste time looking for a new place, you see......"

Andrew Luton leaned back on the sofa and made an offer: "I told Wang that I would like to buy this land at 10 percent of the floating price you bought, which is 2,872.1 million euros, which is far above the market price for the 50,000 hectares of wine-growing land in the Médoc." ”

In fact, Wang Chen is already very satisfied with this price, but there are many people staring at this land, and he is not afraid that the good goods will not be sold, so he naturally wants to get more benefits, and hopes that Zhang Liang can help him get more money.

"No, no, no. Zhang Liang shook his head, "If it is 2,872.1 million, I still have to pay 2.1% tax, but the actual amount I get is only more than 2.811 million, and I can't accept this price." ”

"Aren't you satisfied with selling it for 200 million euros?" took Lola Luton.

Andrew Luton looked at Lola very appreciatively, and also pressured: "Yes, since yesterday afternoon to now, you have made a profit of 200 million euros, even if it is replaced by Buffett, he will not refuse my proposal, what are you not satisfied with?"

In one day, the rate of return is as high as 7.7 percent, which is a big profit for any businessman, even if the stock market may not have such a high profit, let alone such a short cycle.

Wang Chen knew that what Andrew Luton said was reasonable, but who would think that he would make more money? He secretly glanced at Zhang Liang, and his intention was to carry out the original plan.

Zhang Liang was very interesting, and did not give up fighting for Wang Chen's interests because he got the dog's head, and said unhurriedly: "Under normal circumstances, if you invest 261 million euros and make 200 million in one day, I will accept it, but in an idiom in our country, the 50,000 hectares of grape cultivation land in the Médoc is called a strange commodity to live in, and there are not a few wine merchants who want to get this land. The Dilong family and even several famous wine merchants in Italy are willing to buy it at a large price, which will not be lower than the price offered by you, Mr. Luton, in that case, why should I sell it at a relatively low price? Besides, I did not want to sell this piece of land, but I made a deal with you for the sake of my friend Wang Chen's face. ”

Seeing that what Zhang Liang said was reasonable, Andrew Luton frowned, clasped the table with his fingers, and made a crisp sound, "Then how much do you mean?"

Zhang Liang stretched out three fingers, "Three billion euros." ”

Old Luton's face changed, and he waved his hand again and again: "Impossible, no one will be willing to accept this price." ”

Zhang Liang said calmly: "These are my conditions, if you don't want to, then we have nothing to talk about." ”

Wang Chen knew that Zhang Liang had eaten old Luton to death and wanted this land, of course, he knew that the price of 3 billion was too high, after all, according to the market price of this land, it was only 2.25 billion euros, even if the potential was counted, it was probably as Lola Luton said at the beginning, Old Luton was willing to exceed the market price by 20 percent, that is, 2.7 billion.

The reason why Old Luton was finally willing to pay more than 2.87 billion was that there was really no way, after all, he got it for himself.

But Wang Chen knew that Old Luton originally prepared 3 billion euros, that is to say, 3 billion euros is the bottom line of Old Luton's psychology, as long as it does not exceed this number, everything is possible.

Old Luton's face was cloudy, and he was silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed, "In that case, let's talk about it another day." ”

Wang Chen is a little bit of a wax.

Old Luton shouldn't want it, right?

He looked at Zhang Liang next to him, saw that the other party had a relaxed face, and replied, "Okay." ”

The two sides are not talking about this land.

Wang Chen was a little incomprehensible, could it be that Zhang Liang really didn't help himself talk?

During this period, when Old Luton was talking, Zhang Liang took out his mobile phone and kept sending messages, and he didn't know who to send it to.

But the more Old Luton looked at Zhang Liang's message, the tighter his brows locked, as if he was worried about something.

Five minutes later.

Zhang Liang suddenly raised his head and said, "Xiao Wang, I still have something to go first." ”

The second monk Wang Chen was puzzled, "Brother Zhang, where are you going?"

"I was asked to meet by a client. Zhang Liang said lightly.

Yes?

Do you have clients in France?

How come I haven't heard?

Wang Chen was puzzled, but people had something to do, so he dragged it by himself, so he had to say, "Okay, Brother Zhang, you should go in advance." As he spoke, he looked up at Lola Luton and said in English, "Lola, can you please send my brother Zhang away?"

Because they first spoke Chinese, Luton Sr. and Lola Luton didn't understand it at all.

Now that he heard that Zhang Liang was leaving, Old Luton couldn't hold his breath and said: "Mr. Zhang, today the old man celebrates his birthday, don't you sell your face?"

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "I'm really sorry Mr. Luton, originally I made an appointment with the client to talk about things tonight, but Wang Chen pulled me over and said that you have something to discuss, so I temporarily refused the other party, since we have finished talking, I naturally have to go to business, I'm sorry." With that, he stood up.

Wang Chen was speechless, Brother Zhang, don't you even want the dog capital?

Not only Wang Chen thought so, Andrew Luton also looked at Zhang Liang with a look of surprise, originally made an appointment with a customer to talk about things, but he came over because he heard that he had something to talk about and sold Wang Chen's face?

What do you mean?

Could it be that competitors in the wine industry such as Rothschild and the Dilong family talked to Zhang Liang about the 50,000 hectares of Médoc plantations?

It's no wonder that old Luton is cranky, once whoever gets this land, the grape cultivation area will increase significantly, and more red wine will be available in the future, and more markets can be occupied.

How many hectares is Château Lafite?

Of the total 178 hectares, only 103 hectares of grape cultivation are cultivated, of course, this is a top winery, if it were a second or third winery, the planting land would be much larger.

And the 50,000 hectares of Médoc planting land, can't you find a piece of land similar to Château Lafite? Yes, if those competitors take this land, then it is possible to increase sales in the high-end market, not to mention the low-end market, 50,000 hectares!

Yes, old Luton is thinking nonsense, but even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he will not allow it to happen, otherwise it will be a catastrophe for the Luton family, which lives on the wine industry!

The Luton family is different from the Rothschild and Dilong families, it is really a pure wine family, the Rothschild family needless to say, it is a world-class economic giant family, although Dilong is also mainly in the wine industry, but people have side businesses such as banks, in fact, the wine industry is not as deep as the Luton family's dependence.

Old Luton couldn't afford to lose, so he hurriedly stood up and grabbed Zhang Liang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, let's talk again, everything is negotiable about the price of this land in the Medoc." ”

Wang Chen blinked, not understanding what was going on.

Zhang Liang looked very embarrassed: "But I really have something to go, didn't you just say that we will talk about it another day?"

Choosing a day is a fart, maybe the 50,000 hectares of land will fall into the hands of competitors, old Luton scolded in his heart, but said in his mouth: "There is no need to choose a day, I think it is better to talk about it as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Liang spread his hands, "But my psychological price is three billion euros." ”

"Three billion euros is too much more than the market price, a little less. Luton Sr. lowered his profile.

Zhang Liang looked straight at the past, and said sharply: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

Old Luton smiled bitterly: "Before, I quoted 2,872,100,000,000, so let's make up a whole number, 2.9 billion, do you think it's okay?"

Belch.

Conceded almost 30 million euros?

Even if I don't know why Old Luton would give in, Wang Chen knows that it must be related to Zhang Liang's actions just now, tsk, he is worthy of being the heir of a business family, and he can be favored by that big man as a son-in-law, Zhang Liang is really extraordinary.

Zhang Liang was still bargaining, "For Wang Chen's sake, I'll take a step back, 2.95 billion, a fixed price, if you still don't agree, then let's sit down and talk slowly the next day." ”

If he said this figure at the beginning, Old Luton would definitely not agree, because he had to give up nearly 80 million euros at once, but just now he gave up nearly 30 million euros, and now he can get the Médoc land he needs by letting another 50 million, which means that he only needs to give 20 million more than just now?

It's a psychological tactic.

In the end, the old Luton still has to give nearly eighty million.

However, the first time it was 30 million, the second time it was nearly 50 million, and it didn't feel like it hurt nearly 80 million all at once, Old Luton took a deep breath and said: "Okay, 2.95 billion is 2.95 billion, let's make a decision." Saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Zhang Liang would regret it, so he immediately turned his head sideways, "Lola, immediately prepare a contract for me, I want to settle the matter with Mr. Zhang now." ”

Promised?

Really agreed?

Wori, this time buddy made a lot of money!

Wang Chen's heart was overjoyed, 2.95 billion yuan had to pay about 62 million euros in taxes, and even so, he had earned nearly 300 million euros, and the exact figure was 277 million euros, and what if he had followed the 10 percent floating price proposed by Old Luton at the beginning? After paying taxes, he could only earn about 200 million euros, which is a difference of 77 million euros!

How much does 77 million euros be converted into RMB?

594.67 million, which is almost 600 million!

Wang Chen never thought that Zhang Liang would make nearly 600 million more money by making such a drum, he almost laughed out loud with joy, haha, this time my buddy made a lot of money, enough to earn 277 million euros, which is converted into about 2.14 billion RMB!

Rich!

What kind of 288 million villas in Shanghai?

……

The contract was signed by both parties.

Because the bidder is Zhang Liang, he is naturally the one who signed the contract, and 2.95 billion euros will also be remitted to the account designated by Zhang Liang.

However, Wang Chen was not worried at all, he believed that after the incident, Zhang Liang would give him the money.

After signing the contract, the elder Luton asked Lola Luton to bring champagne, poured four glasses herself, and then took the initiative to raise the glass and said, "Mr. Zhang, let's toast to friendship." ”

Zhang Liang gracefully pinched the foot of the wine glass and touched it with Old Luton, and said with a smile: "Cheers." ”

The two of them drank all the small half glasses of champagne in their glasses.

As for Wang Chen, he and Lola Luton touched their glasses and took a sip, well, not to mention, this champagne tasted pretty good.

"Although I have a large number of vineyards in Bordeaux, Argentina, Portugal and other places, I have never owned such a large and complete vineyard, since I sold 40% of the shares of Château Margaux in 20000 years, I have always wanted to run another top winery, and now the opportunity has come, Mr. Zhang, thank you very much for giving me this land." ”

Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles.

Wang Chen can see that the 86-year-old Luton has not lost his ambitions for the wine industry and wants to do a great job.

"No thanks, take what you need. Zhang Liang smiled and said: "If you have to say thank you, I think Mr. Luton should thank Wang Chen, who matched us." ”

"Yes, thank him. Andrew Luton was in a very good mood, looked at Wang Chen, and said: "I told you in advance, if you can negotiate a business with Mr. Zhang, you will give away a Chinese antique for free, you also saw just now, I have a total of six top Chinese antiques, which one do you want?"

Wang Chen didn't hesitate at all, "I want the moon Kaiyun that you have collected, one of the "Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace". ”

Zhang Liang next to him showed an appreciative look, as if to say that Wang Chen would pick things.

Old Luton also sighed with emotion: "I knew you would pick such a thing, to be honest, I spent a lot of financial resources and connections to get it from the French library, and I was really reluctant to give it to you, but I would rather rely on my own personal interests than fight a lawsuit, since I promised you, I will send it." He also said a famous French proverb.

Wang Chen immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Luton." ”

Andrew Luton asked Lola to take the painting, put on a white glove and stroked it gently, showing a reluctant look, and finally handed it over, "Wang, you must take good care of this painting, it ...... It's not a treasure that can be measured by money, and I think it's the luckiest thing in the world for someone to be able to collect one of these historical artifacts for the rest of their lives. ”

Wang Chen, who was still a little unhappy with the old Luton asking Tang Bohu to paint, was in awe after hearing this sentence, and he could see that the old Luton really loves collecting, and it is not like many foreign collectors who play collecting for the purpose of appreciation, so to speak, the old Luton is pursuing a cultural edification.

Wang Chen also put on white gloves, solemnly took the painting, and said seriously: "Mr. Luton, I will definitely take good care of it, and I will never sell it, if it is possible to gather all the pictures of the forty scenes, I may dedicate it to my Motherland Museum for free." "Well, Zhang Liang is next to him, and he still has to say a few good words.

Andrew Luton is satisfied, "I hope you treat it well. ”

Wang Chen was about to say something, but suddenly felt that the feeling was wrong, and frowned: "Huh, this is not a paper painting?"

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and said instinctively: "Who told you that it is paper?"

"It used to look like a paper painting. Wang Chen wondered: "It's a little slippery to the touch, could it be a silk painting?"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is called silk." He carefully explained, "Juan, read four tones in Chinese paintings, is often misread as one." The calligraphy and painting painted on silk, silk, and silk fabrics are called silk books, and you can see obvious horizontal and vertical textile traces in the picture. ”

Andrew Luton also seemed to have a lot of research, and then said: "In fact, there are several versions of "Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace", for example, what you hold in your hand is a peerless and unique book drawn by Emperor Qianlong and his Ministry of Industry Wang Youdun and the court painter Shen Yuan in 12 years, which depicts the prosperous scenery of the Old Summer Palace as a royal garden in the form of silk painting, which has extremely high painting art value and historical relics value. Shen Yuan painted a white line drawing of the building, and his woodblock was printed and sent to many meritorious ministers. This woodcut was originally preserved in China and has been preserved a lot. ”

Zhang Liang took over and said: "Yes, there are still two kinds of woodcut lithographs in the Qing Dynasty in China, one of which is the "Imperial Summer Resort, Yuanmingyuan Picture Song" published by Datong Book Company in the Guangxu period. The second is the 13th year of Guangxu Tianjin Lithograph Book House record stone reprint of the "Imperial Yuanmingyuan Picture Song", the last one has the tail paragraph "Honglu Temple Preface Banchen Sun Hu, Minister Shen Yuangong Painting", it can be seen that this woodcut version is also Shen Yuan and Sun Hu cooperation, and at the same time based on the silk book, but like this one of the forty scenes of the silk book in the French library in your hand, it belongs to the peerless and unique book, which is extremely precious. ”

No way.

So awesome?

It took 12 years to finish the painting?

Wang Chen's heart was pounding, such a treasure, just like Andrew Luton said, is definitely not something that can be measured by money, if he can collect it, it is definitely a face-saving thing.

It's just that he is a little worried in his heart, Zhang Liang will not let himself dedicate this painting to the country, right?

Wang Chen really wants to collect it himself.

Andrew Luton didn't say anything more, got up and said, "There are still a lot of guests waiting outside, I'll go out to greet you first, Lola, you can help me entertain the two of you." ”

"Good grandfather. Lola Luton bowed.

Old Luton got up and walked away.

Only the three of them were left in the compartment.

Wang Chen didn't immediately talk to Lola Luton, but looked at Zhang Liang next to him and said in Mandarin: "Brother Zhang, this painting ......"

Zhang Liang snorted, "Do you want to say that I will ask you to dedicate it to the museum?"

Wang Chen looked over and nodded vigorously.

"It stands to reason that such a treasure would be better placed in the National Museum. Zhang Liang sighed, "It's just that what you have in your hand is not complete, it's just one of the forty scenes, and besides, some things are in private hands, and they will be compared to ...... Anyway, you just know. ”

How could Wang Chen not understand, "I know, then I can collect it myself." ”

Zhang Liangyi said in words: "You can't sell it to others, and if you bring it back to China, you can't leave the country." ”

"Hey, don't worry, I will never let it leave the country again, if I have the chance, I will definitely find a way to get all the forty scenes. Wang Chen swore an oath.

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "The remaining thirty-nine scenes are in the French library, and it is basically impossible for you to get them together, he shook his head as he said, Okay, I want to send the dog back first, you can play here for a night." ”

Originally, Zhang Liang's purpose in coming in was to take the dog's head and negotiate business with Wang Chen, but now that the purpose has been achieved, it is not interesting for him to stay here.

Wang Chen knew in his heart that he and Lola Luton were friends, and he had to stay here when he was invited to be a guest, so he didn't say anything, but said, "Okay, Brother Zhang, you go back first, I should come back tomorrow morning or noon." ”

Zhang Liang glanced at Lola Luton and quipped, "Pay attention to your body." ”

Wang Chen sweated, his relationship with Lola Luton is really known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, no wonder Lola's ex-fiancé is so fierce.

Later, Lola Luton called the driver and sent Zhang Liang away.

They were the only ones left in the room.

Wang Chen looked at Lola Luton's plump body, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and blinked, "Let's go out to dance?"

Seeing that there was no one, Lola Luton bit her lip and leaned in front of Wang Chen very wildly, and then leaned into his ear to blow hot air, "Is the camera ready?"

As soon as he heard this, Wang Chen's heart was pounding, and when he thought of the picture that might happen tonight, he was excited, and he pretended to be calm on the surface, "My cute and sexy girl, I naturally take what you tell to heart, the pixels are very good, what about you, are the clothes ready?"

"You'll find out at night. Lola Luton blinked, reached out and patted him on the chest, "Let's go out for the dance first, don't drink too much, I don't want to sleep with a drunk man at the end of the party." ”

Wang Chen's heart is hot, if it weren't for the party, he would have wanted to correct Lola Luton on the spot, endure it for a while, and endure it for a few more hours to ride a big ocean horse!

By the way, first hide one of the forty scenes, the moon and clouds, this thing is too precious.

Wang Chen never expected that he had gained a lot from his trip to France, not only earning 277 million euros, but also obtaining one of the peerless share capital "Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace" "Carved Moon Kaiyun", of course, the most important thing is that it is very likely to take Lola Luton tonight, the other party is one of the heirs of the top French family, and he was an ordinary young man a few months ago, and the poor couldn't even pay the rent, not to mention such a top "noble" woman, even an ordinary foreign woman has no chance.

In the final analysis, the world still depends on strength.

Fortunately, buddy is getting stronger and stronger now.
