Chapter 334: I Took It!
Chapter 334: I Took It!
…… To be honest, Liu Dong also likes this authentic painting of Wang Shimin, but although this thing is good, it is not his!
And Xie Zhonglin, who was always paying attention to the changes in Liu Dong's expression, of course noticed the trace of love that quickly crossed his eyes. At that moment, he was sure in his heart, and said with a smile: "If Mr. Liu likes it, then I will give the sword to the martyr and give it to you!"
"Give it to me?" After being stunned for a moment, Liu Dong shook his head, "How embarrassing is this, there is a saying that 'a gentleman does not take the favor of others', and this painting is very valuable, I can't accept it for nothing!"
Liu Dong is well aware of the truth that 'people must ask for something', and this authentic painting of Wang Shimin is nearly 13 square feet, and the value is at least more than 5 million!
With Xie Zhonglin's cleverness, he could naturally understand Liu Dong's scruples at the moment, so he didn't hide it.
"Mr. Liu, I know that because of Han Lei's matter, we had some unhappiness between us. But didn't we know each other at that time? Now this qiē has become a thing of the past, and we have become partners, Fuxing Jade Rough Stone Company and your 49% shares, even for the sake of the company, I think we should also forget about the previous unhappiness, sincere cooperation, and jointly make Fuxing bigger, do you say yes?"
After listening to Xie Zhonglin's words, Liu Dong was silent for a while, and then reached out and took the wooden box on the table containing Wang Shimin's authentic works into his hand, "I accepted this painting!"
"Hey!" Xie Zhonglin agreed, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Liu Dong smiled faintly. Didn't speak again. The reason why I accepted this painting this time. The point is that there is not much hatred between him and Xie Zhonglin. Although there was some misunderstanding, it didn't hurt.
In the end, Xie Zhonglin is right, now they are partners, and the growth of Fuxing Gambling Stone Company is in the common interests of the two people. Compared with Dongchao Group, which is completely its own private company, Fuxing may be the company that can invest in the fastest results. Maybe by the end of the year, the money he invested in Fuxing will be recovered.
In contrast, the Eastern Dynasties Group may have been net investment and no output for three to four consecutive years, or even longer.
……
From Quancheng to Qing-Dao. It was closer than from Quancheng to the capital, and in less than an hour, the two were already sitting in the car leading to the most luxurious five-star hotel in the island city.
Perhaps in order to make a good relationship with Liu Dong, Xie Zhonglin topped two presidential suites, and he didn't need Liu Dong to pay any fees during the whole process, just enjoy it!
Seeing this, although Liu Dong is not a person who takes advantage, this kind of benefit from being sent to the door is not in vain, and this money is not a big deal for Xie Zhonglin.
After several people ate together at noon, Liu Dong and Mu Gang went upstairs to rest for a while. And he walked out. Wichai Sawan Susi's boat only arrived in the evening, so Liu Dong was not prepared to spend the whole afternoon in the hotel. The first time he came to Qingdao Island, he wanted to visit the antique market here.
But what I didn't expect was that I just went out and happened to meet Xie Zhonglin, who was standing at the door, looking like he was about to knock on his door.
"Liu Dong, are you going to go out?" Looking at the backpack that Liu Dong was carrying behind his back, Xie Zhonglin's eyes showed a hint of surprise, he remembered that when Liu Dong got on the plane, he came empty-handed.
However, this was not the focus of his attention, so he skipped it after a glance.
"Yes, Lao Xie, you look like you're going to knock on my door just now, why do you have anything to do with me?"
"Hehe, it's a bit of a thing, but it's not a big deal. Looking at Liu Dong's listening face, he hurriedly continued: "It's just such a long afternoon, it's a little boring to stay in the hotel, so I want to go to the antique street here, Liu Dong, you are an expert in antique identification, I want you to help me grow my eyes!"
Xie Zhonglin's words are half-truths and half-truths, and now he only understands antique collection at best, and he can't talk about hobbies at all, but in order to further close the relationship with Liu Dong, the jade king, it is best to strike while the iron is hot, communicate more, and continue to deepen the topic of antique collection that the other party is interested in.
Looking at the change in Xie Zhonglin's eyes, Liu Dong naturally knew his intentions. However, this matter is not harmful to himself, so Liu Dong smiled faintly and agreed.
Subsequently, Liu Dong, Mu Gang, Xie Zhonglin, plus the latter's two bodyguards, walked down from the elevator. When the five of them arrived at the door of the hotel, a black Audi and a black Mercedes-Benz drove over and stopped in front of the group.
Then I saw Xie Zhonglin negotiate with the drivers of the two cars, and then beckoned to Liu Dong.
"Lao Xie, these two cars are yours?" Liu Dong walked over and asked.
"Hehe, this is Qing-Island, not Quancheng, I don't want to go so much trouble to consign the car here. These two cars were rented from the car rental company for 500 yuan a day, and we returned them when we left. ”
"Car rental company?" Liu Dong was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "This is quite convenient!"
In the past, the high-end means of transportation such as cars was too far away from Liu Dong, and after he made his fortune, he bought a car directly, so it was the first time I heard of this kind of company specializing in renting cars.
Hearing Liu Dong's words, Xie Zhonglin just smiled and didn't say much, he was also very clear about Liu Dong's past, but it was because he was clear that he felt more and more that the young man in front of him had a great future.
"Liu Dong, there are two cars here, I will do the Audi in the front, and the Mercedes-Benz in the back, you and Brother Mu Gang will sit!"
"Then I will thank you for your affection!" Liu Dong smiled and did not refuse.
"Hehe, it's nothing, Brother Liu, you are too polite!" Xie Zhonglin climbed up the pole, from Mr. Liu before getting on the plane, to Liu Dong after getting off the plane, and now after seeing Liu Dong's attitude towards him improve, he directly called his brother. It can be seen from this that Xie Zhonglin, a guy who has been in the society for more than ten years and has created a huge foundation from scratch, is very skilled in the way of pulling relationships.
Hearing Xie Zhonglin's words, Liu Dong smiled, and took Mu Gang towards the Mercedes-Benz car behind, this time Liu Dong asked Mu Gang to sit in the back and drive himself.
The Mercedes-Benz is not Liu Dong's Land Rover, and the space in the driver's seat is a little too narrow compared to Mu Gang's tall and strong physique. And Liu Dong is just right.
As for the destination this time, Liu Dong has long known it, and when he was in the hotel, he memorized all the maps of the entire Qingdao City in his brain with his almost unforgettable memory, plus there was navigation in the car, so there was basically no mistake.
So Xie Zhonglin, who was originally driving in front, ended up following behind Liu Dongche because he was not familiar with the road conditions.
Five people and two cars, all the way through the streets and alleys, towards the Changle Road Cultural Market, which is the largest antique market in the whole Qingdao City, the Changle Road Antique Trading Fair every Saturday is very famous in the Jiaodong Peninsula, Liu Dong is in Quancheng for there is also a lot of heard, so the first stop after arriving at Qingdao is there.
However, according to the route Liu Dong and his team, if they want to go to Changle Road, they have to go through the 'Eight Passes', a famous scenic spot in the island city that was identified as a key cultural relics protection unit by the state in 2001. Of course, the current Badaguan is not yet, but when Liu Dong drove over from Juyongguan Road, he saw that many construction teams were renovating the villas inside Badaguan.
And Liu Dong's eyes are also attracted by these ancient buildings that have experienced a hundred years of wind and rain, if he can, he would like to buy a house here, the environment is quiet, the blue sky and the sea are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, it is definitely a good place for vacation and leisure. However, most of the villas in the place do not have property ownership certificates, and they are basically in the hands of the state.
Therefore, but for a holiday villa that does not live often, Liu Dong does not want to be so troublesome. However, this did not delay his appreciation of these ancient buildings.
"Huh!" After being surprised, Liu Dong stopped the car suddenly, and Xie Zhonglin behind him was not prepared and almost crashed. But he didn't dare to be angry with Liu Dong.
"What's wrong with Brother Liu?" Seeing Liu Dong get out of the car with Mu Gang, Xie Zhonglin also hurriedly walked down.
"Oh, it's nothing! Look at this villa is good, go in and have a look!" Liu Dong said and pointed a few steps away, a three-story baroque building with a garden, and a villa with the courtyard door ajar at the moment.
"What's so nice about this dilapidated house!" Looking at the corner of the roof on the left side of the three-story villa that had collapsed, as well as the flowers and plants growing freely in the yard that looked very messy, Xie Donglin couldn't help but say in his heart.
But despite this, he still chose to walk in with Liu Dong.
At this moment, the courtyard was a little chaotic, and two middle-aged men in white shirts in their thirties were directing five or six workers who were disheveled and dusty, and moved out of the villa pieces of European-style furniture that looked a little moldy, and even a lot of them had fallen apart.
When Liu Dong and the others came in, the empty courtyard was already full of piles.
"Hey, who let you in, this is not a tourist area, get out quickly!" Seeing Liu Dong and a few people entering the hospital, a slightly thin middle-aged man hurriedly ran over to stop him.
However, the clothes on several people, coupled with the obviously different temperaments of Mu Gang and Xie Zhonglin's two bodyguards, made the originally somewhat arrogant thin middle-aged man involuntarily soften. In the end, he became a little more polite. (To be continued......)
