13. The cold big iron gate

"Sit. ”

In the office, Shi Lin nodded, sat on his boss's chair, looked at Zhao Ying, and said, "Let's talk about the company's situation this quarter." ”

"Okay chairman. ”

Zhao Ying nodded and sat down.

Although the chairman is young, through three years of contact, he also knows that this little boss has a lot of energy and does not dare to underestimate it.

He then gave a brief account of the company's situation in the current quarter.

All in all, it's the same as before, everything is so bland. The highest transaction value of a single lot in this quarter was only 1.8 million.

"Chairman, there's one more thing. ”

Zhao Ying finally said.

Say. ”

The stone forest, who had just wanted to open the scroll, sat back down.

Zhao Ying took out an invitation card from his pocket and said, "Chairman, on the 20th of this month, there is a collectors' gathering in Qingpu Qushui Park, which is an invitation to you initiated by the Shanghai Collectors Association."

"Collector's gathering?"

Shi Lin pondered for a moment.

Isn't it just pretending to be a party?

He has attended several gatherings of collectors.

To put it bluntly, it is a group of collectors who gather together to take out their collections to identify each other, appreciate each other, and discuss with each other. It is said that they are learning from each other, but in his opinion, it is to pretend to force each other.

Then I'll compare you to you, pretend to be a good one, and slap your face if you don't accept it.

"No, I won't. ”

Shi Lin waved his hand.

It's boring to pretend with a bunch of old guys.

Zhao Ying seemed to anticipate this, and he continued: "Chairman, this party is a little different from usual. The guests who attended the party were not only people from the collectors' association, but also some wealthy people and celebrities who like to collect, including some well-known collectors and so on. By the way, the invitation was sent by Liang Lao, who was one of the initiators of the party. ”

Shi Lin was stunned for a moment, and sighed, did he play tricks this time?

No longer a few old guys bragging to each other?

He was also a little interested, thinking that there was nothing to do these days, so he said, "Since Liang Lao invited, let's go and have a look." By the way, what time is the party?"

Zhao Ying was speechless, you also look down on the grand event of the Shanghai collection community, right?

I just said the time is coming.

"Chairman, it's the 20th. ”

Zhao Ying repeated.

"Well, you can remind me when the time comes, lest I forget. In addition, you immediately help me to contact the British master Lens, and ask him to contact a few more famous artists to help me evaluate this painting. ”

Shi Lin opened "Sunflowers" and continued: "You can use the video to let Master Lens see this painting first, and I believe he will come over after seeing it." ”

Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, quickly lowered his head and glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Chairman, is this genuine? This is the finale you prepared for the third anniversary?"

"Whether it's genuine or not, wait for Master Lens to appraise them, and if they have appraised it, let them issue a few appraisal certificates. Today is the 18th, June 1st is the anniversary. It is important for them to come within 2 days and complete the appraisal within 5 days. In the next time, we will also publicize and give Western friends some time to fly to China. ”

This Van Gogh painting is mainly aimed at the aristocracy and rich people in the West.

As for the wealthy people in China, they are more enthusiastic about the quintessence of Chinese culture, after all, the culture of the East and the West is different.

And he was also happy that the European nobles came all the way to China and robbed each other.

Listening to Shi Lin's instructions, Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, "Chairman, this, will Master Lens come over?" ”

"Don't worry, old friend. When you show him the video, he'll come over. ”

Shi Lin said confidently.

At the 2nd anniversary of last year's auction house, a sculpture about the Renaissance was auctioned by the Lens master. At that time, the sculpture sold for 36 million US dollars, or 236 million RMB.

The transaction price of 230 million RMB may not be much if it is placed in the top few large auction houses in the world.

But for the 'Qiulin Auction House', it was sensational.

"Okay, I'll do it. ”

Zhao Ying nodded and responded.

He was also a little excited in his heart, if this painting was genuine, then this 'Qiulin Auction House' would definitely be popular again, and even more popular than the previous two times.

This can also lead to better development for the company.

In fact, over the years, the company has been tepid, and as the general manager, he is also very anxious and self-blaming.

As for why Shi Lin didn't quit him, it was also because he was stable enough.

Although it has not brought great development to the company, it is still developing steadily.

Then chatted for a while and explained some things, Zhao Ying immediately contacted Master Lens and immediately had a video call with Master Lens.

Through the video, this "Sunflower" was shown to the British master Lens.

……

At night.

On a road leading to the suburbs in Shanghai, a red Beetle sped by.

In the car, it was Shi Qiu and Shi Lin sisters and brothers.

They were on their way home.

"Sister, did you call your parents?"

Shi Lin asked as he drove.

"Didn't you fight?"

Shi Qiu's face was cute.

Shi Lin was speechless, then sighed, and said, "Forget it, don't fight." If you're at home, you're at home if you don't fight. I'm not at home, and I can't get back when I call. ”

He naturally knows his parents best.

It's said that they are irresponsible parents, but no. Treat your children with the same sincerity as any other parent.

But let's talk about responsibility......

Shi Qiu didn't say anything, he was succeeded by traffickers because of his parents' negligence.

As for himself, before the age of 7, his parents were often by his side, and the discipline was quite strict.

But after the age of 7, since he went to school, he went home from school alone every day, and no one picked him up, making him like a left-behind child. He has always asked about his learning status, no matter how well he did in the exam, it was just a hum.

But there's one more thing, and that's being responsive.

Want a toy?

Buy.

Need a snack?

Buy.

Want money?

Just pull out a stack of bills and throw it at him, and ignore it.

Shi Qiu glanced sideways at his younger brother and turned his head.

In the past three years since she came home, she naturally knows how superb her siblings' parents are.

After thinking about it, she didn't say anything.

Soon, the car came to a village. The modern village, with small two-story buildings connected together, is beautiful and tidy. The buildings of the whole village are built in the style of villas.

"Ouch! Xiaolin and Xiaoqiu are back. ”

When I walked to the entrance of the village and slowed down, I saw a villager who greeted him warmly.

"Hello Aunt Wu, are my parents back?"

Shi Lin stopped the car, poked his head out and shouted with a smile.

"Oh! I haven't seen it yet, so I'm probably coming back soon. ”

Aunt Wu paused and said with an unnatural smile.

Shi Lin and his sister glanced at each other, said goodbye to Aunt Wu, and headed towards their home.

Aunt Wu looked at the two sisters and brothers who left, shook her head, and sighed.

Soon, the red beetle stopped in front of a large iron gate.

The two siblings didn't get out of the car, they turned their heads sideways, looking at the tightly locked cold iron door, in a daze.
