Chapter 648: The Boy with the Pipe

……

"I don't know about the others. However, Mr. President's illness, as long as I am given a month or two, I will be able to get rid of the disease!"

Looking at Taiyi's confident appearance, Khalifa II nodded vigorously and hurriedly beckoned behind him.

"Sir!"

"Shahbut, go down at once and prepare the best room for this gentleman, and then tell all the palace attendants. Sir is my honored guest, and no one can neglect him!"

"Yes!"

After Diab Shahbut walked away quickly, "Sir, as long as you can cure my disease, you can mention whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to meet it!"

Taiyi Lao Dao waved his hand lightly with a calm expression, "I'm not in a hurry now." When Mr. President feels that he is better than before under my treatment, it is not too late to say thank you. ”

"Yes, yes, listen to Mr."

Looking at Khalifa II as if he had obtained a treasure, Wang Zheng and Wang Gan next to him glanced at each other, and their eyes invariably showed a hint of relaxation.

Things went a lot smoother than they had expected.

In the ensuing exchange, it was obvious that Taiyi Lao Dao had received more attention than Wang Zheng. Khalifa II has 80% of the conversation around him.

But it's understandable. Although Wang Zheng is wealthy, as the supreme ruler in Abu Dhabi, Khalifa II far exceeds Wang Zheng at this time in terms of political and economic power. It is also a matter of course to be looked down upon. Moreover, for Khalifa II, who has enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth, nothing is more important to him than to live a long and healthy life.

With the increase in communication, Taiyi's veteran and accurate medical analysis further impressed Khalifa II. At the luncheon at noon later, Wang Zheng was also stained with the light of Taiyi's old way and received the most dignified reception from Khalifa II.

Large and small, hundreds of dishes are filled with delicacies from all over the world. The extravagant enjoyment, even Wang Zheng, a person who prides himself on being able to eat and can eat, was a little surprised.

"Maybe only the ancient court imperial diet can compare to this scale and level!"

After lunch, accompanied by Khalifa II, after taking the whole splendid palace around, Wang Zheng left with his own people.

As for Taiyi Lao Dao, of course, he stayed here.

Moreover, in addition to here, Wang Zheng can't use him for the time being.

"Boss, shall we go back directly?"

"Go back... It's time for us to go back too!" Wang Zheng sighed.

Take the Iron Ox Transport to a shelter on the outskirts of Dubai again, drive the extended Lincoln out of the trunk, and then transfer to the Helicopter Transfer to the Emirates Mohammed Palace.

"King?"

Just as Wang Zheng got off the helicopter and was about to go back to his residence, he was stopped by Hamdan who came from behind.

"Hamdan, is there something wrong?"

Nodding his head, Hamdan looked left and right and said curiously, "Hey, Wang." Why didn't I see Mr. Taiyi come back with you? Didn't he join you when you left?"

"Oh! He didn't come back with him. …… What, Hamdan, you're looking for him?"

"Nope. It's just that I see that you are missing a person, and I am a little curious!"

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, he only believed half of Hamdan's words.

"Oh, yes. You just stopped me, something?"

Hamdan nodded, "I asked someone to prepare afternoon tea, and I was just going to invite you over for a drink." I just happened to talk to you about going to see my father tomorrow. ”

"Then let's go!" Wang Zheng didn't refuse.

Wang Zheng, who has visited Sheikh Mohammed's Palace more than once, is now familiar with this place. He didn't need Hamdan's guidance at all, and he knew where to go. Therefore, along the way, Wang Zheng seems to be very casual.

"Wang, our etiquette in Dubai may be a little different from your in China. When you go to see my father tomorrow, you must pay more attention!"

"Hamdan, don't worry! I've learned enough of your Dubai etiquette these days in Dubai. If I see your father tomorrow, I won't disgrace you!"

"That's good!"

At this time, the two of them also came to a platform located in the center of the garden on the left, about 50 centimeters above the ground, all made of solid wood, covering an area of about 100 square meters.

In the center of the wooden platform is a rattan table. Two sets of clean cutlery, a few plates of fruit, and three bottles of wine were placed on the sky-blue plaid tablecloth on the tabletop.

At the edge of the wooden platform, servants built an iron frame and added charcoal to it, accompanied by the smell of roasted beef and mutton, Wang Zheng also felt a little hungry in his stomach.

"Please!"

"Hamdan, don't be so polite between us!"

"Hehe, okay, then let's be casual. Order whatever you want to eat, take it yourself!"

"That's right! Come, let's pour the wine first. Wang Zheng said with a smile.

As he spoke, he unscrewed the 'intoxicating' wine from Taoyuan Villa next to him, poured it for the two of them, and then sat down separately.

At this moment, the waiter next to him also brought up the lamb skewers that had been examined.

"This meat is the best when it is freshly grilled! Moreover, this is still roasted with your Taoyuan Ji mutton, and the taste is even better!"

Hamdan picked up a bunch of mutton and gestured to Wang Zheng opposite. The latter smiled, and after picking up a skewer, "It's enough to eat barbecue with red wine!"

"Haha, yes, yes! Come on, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

After eating a few skewers of barbecue and drinking two sips of wine, the two who looked at each other looked at each other and smiled.

"Wang, in a way, the two of us are really quite similar. I like to eat, I like to enjoy, I like art collection," after a pause, he continued in an inexplicable tone with a deep meaning, "I prefer money and power!"

After smiling faintly, Wang Zheng said, "I still have more than you!"

"Oh, what?"

"Pretty woman!"

"Haha, this man all over the world likes it!"

Wang Zheng's harmless humor made the atmosphere of chatting much stronger.

When the laughter stopped, Hamdan snapped his fingers. Soon, the two waiters standing next to them carried over a rectangular flat wooden box that had been placed on the edge of the platform.

"I just bought an oil painting from a wealthy German businessman. It just so happens that you also like to collect, why don't you help me taste it?"

"Of course, I can't ask for it!"

"Please!"

Wang Zheng nodded, and the two of them got up together, walked to the edge of the square wooden box, and after the waiter opened the red silk cloth covering it, a carefully framed oil painting was presented in front of Wang Zheng.

"Pablo Picasso's Boy with a Pipe!?"

While a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes, Wang Zheng also said in surprise.

"Although its international auction price is not as good as the 'O' version of the Algiers Woman in your hand, it is also a rare top masterpiece in the international oil painting market in the past 10 years!"

Wang Zheng stared at the oil painting for a while, and then slowly shook his head.

"Hamdan, you know. There is no substitute for each of the artists' artistic creations. The value of money is only one aspect, and the value of aesthetics is unique and cannot be compared with each other. What's more, your "Boy with a Pipe" is Pablo Picasso's masterpiece, and if it is really put up for auction in 15 years, the price may not be lower than my "Algiers Woman 'O' Edition!"

"Wang, you are indeed an expert in art collecting. After praising him, Hamdan's gaze shifted from the oil painting to Wang Zheng, "Then do you like this painting?"

"Of course, I don't say no to any of the best works of art in the world!" he nodded at the one.

"In that case, I'll give it to you as a gift! It can be regarded as a return gift for giving me those gold label 'monkey drunk' when you were in Taoyuan Villa last time!"

Wang Zheng waved his hand, "There is an ancient Chinese saying that 'no merit is not punished'. Although my monkey drunk is worth a lot of money, it is really far from this oil painting worth hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, King. Although the value of this oil painting is high, our friendship is even deeper. Of course, if you're really embarrassed, then give me another Arabian horse that your lodge has bred itself. They're really outstanding!"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng, who had been thinking for a while, nodded. He did like this representative painting of Picasso. The value of paying a horse also makes him more acceptable in his heart.

"Then I'll be ashamed!"

"Hehe, that's right!"

After waving his hand, he asked the waiter to carry the oil painting down, and beckoned Wang Zheng to sit down again and continue the unfinished barbecue banquet.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Al Nahyan is also a connoisseur of art collecting. His home in Abu Dhabi houses a collection of top art from around the world. In addition, there are hundreds of exquisite oil paintings of the European Renaissance, including masterpieces by Titian, Rubens, and Holbein. ”

"The 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace, exquisite oil paintings from the Renaissance, this is really an unexpected thing!" Wang Zheng said with a hint of surprise.

Nodding his head, Hamdan continued: "When it comes to art collecting, Al Nahyan is more obsessed with and sparing no expense than I am. So the artwork he has there, both in terms of quantity and quality, is much better than mine. In a few days, when he invites you to be a guest, you may wish to take the opportunity to enjoy it. ”

"I really want to go. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, this time there is no chance!" Wang Zheng sighed slightly and shook his head.

"Why?" Hamdan couldn't help but frown.

"After visiting Lingzun tomorrow, I will leave Dubai and return to China!"

Wang Zheng's expression did not change after glancing at him.
