Chapter 301 Qi's masterpiece

……

After explaining the matter of the 'Peony Garden', Wang Zheng was about to hang up the phone, but he didn't expect Wang Lei to bring him unexpected news again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You said the vice president of Poly Auction House wants to see me?"

"Yes, I just got the news this afternoon. ”

Wang Zheng's face showed a look of thought, "Do you know what the reason is?"

"The other party didn't say it, but it should be related to the hand-me-down work of Qi Baishi that didn't appear in the Poly Spring Auction!"

"Qi Baishi's "Twelve Screens of Landscapes" with an estimated value of 1 billion Huaxia coins?" Wang Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.

This amazing value of Qi's masterpiece can be described as the most prestigious lot in this year's domestic spring auction, there is no one!

"That's right...... Nowadays, although there are a lot of wealthy families worth tens of billions of dollars in China, there are very few who can invest more than a billion yuan in artworks, and the most willing to invest in it, except for the 'Liu madman' in the magic capital, I am afraid it is you, the boss! Moreover, this time we have bought no less than 5 billion works of art, and we are in the limelight in the auction houses all over the world.

Wang Zheng nodded, what Wang Lei said was indeed very reasonable. There are few people who can be willing to invest one billion dollars in art collections in China except for themselves!

Although figures like Ma Yun and Robin Li have more wealth than him, their money is more reflected in the company's market value, and the liquidity they can use may not be comparable to him. Moreover, he is far less willing to invest in art collecting than he is. Of course, Wang Zheng's reluctance was purely forced by the Shennong system, and he had to do so.

"It's a pity!" Wang Zheng shook his head regretfully.

For more than half a month, most of the working capital in Wang Zheng's hands has been spent on the spring auctions of major auction companies at home and abroad. The rest of the people still have to deal with the development of the villa and various subsidiaries, and they can't take out a billion to buy the coveted 'Qi Baishi's "Twelve Screens of Landscapes""!

"The boss doesn't want to see them?"

Wang Zheng thought for a moment, "Have they arrived at the villa now?"

"Not yet!"

"In that case, you call them and say that I will meet them in Chang'an tomorrow, and by the way, you can set a time with the other party!"

Although he no longer had the money to buy this priceless Qi masterpiece, Wang Zheng, who asked the big name, still wanted to hear the other party's conditions. If he had the chance, he wanted to go for it. After all, the old man Baishi spent his time painting two "Twelve Screens of Landscapes" in his life, one of which was collected by the Three Gorges Museum and will almost never be circulated in the market, and only this one still has a chance to get his hands on it.

You must know that Qi Baishi's works have always been the "hard currency" or "index stock" in the Chinese art auction market, since its debut at Poly in March this year, "Landscape Twelve Screens" has been regarded as a work that will create a record of "the most expensive Chinese art", with an internal estimate of 1 billion ~ 1.5 billion.

Created in 1925, each screen is 180 centimeters high and 47 centimeters wide, and is the most representative landscape work in the transition period of Baishi's old man's style. Qi Baishi was 62 years old that year, which was the fourth year of his "decay and change method" and change his painting style in old age.

In addition, this painting is a birthday gift from Qi Baishi to Chen Zilin, a famous doctor in the capital during the Republic of China. Chen Zilin specializes in consulting and treating high-ranking officials, Jinkun, and celebrities, including Cai Yuanpei, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Yu Feiyan and other celebrities.

Later, this set of works was purchased by Guo Xiuyi, the wife of Kuomintang General Huang Qixiang, and it has been half a century now. Guo Xiuyi is also Qi Baishi's female disciple and is famous for collecting Qi Baishi's works.

Therefore, this masterpiece of the Qi family is not only amazingly skilled, but also has an orderly inheritance! It is really the top art collection in the world! Wang Zheng has always coveted it, but because the auction price is too high, it was not listed in his acquisition plan when he participated in the spring auction. Later, I didn't see this painting appear at the auction, and I thought that something had happened in the middle, but I never thought that the Poly Spring Auction had ended for half a month, and this painting had actually found its head again.

In this case, Wang Zheng has to fight for it.

"Okay, I see! But, boss, what time do you think is the right time?"

Thinking that he had made an appointment with Shen Bing to go to Qujiangchi tomorrow, Wang Zheng would not regret what he had promised.

"Tomorrow afternoon or evening, it just so happens that it will take time for them to come by plane!"

"Okay! I'll call you right away when the time is set!"

"Hmm!"

After hanging up, Wang Zheng sat on the hair and held his mobile phone in a daze, seeing that the time was not early, he suddenly remembered that he didn't call Yu Yixue today.

"Hey!"

Even if she already has a heart, Yu Yixue's tone always has a faint coldness in it. Long-term self-protection and habits are still not something that can be changed in a short period of time.

"Yixue, it's me! Have you slept?"

"Not yet! What about you?"

"I just came back from the company!" Wang Zheng felt guilty in his heart.

He knew that he was still in contact with Shen Bing after having Yu Yixue, and he was already cheating. But Wang Zheng can't restrain the 'desire' for top beauties, or 'possessiveness'! Just like people often say, 'when a man's capital, whether it is money capital or power capital, surpasses ordinary people. It is natural to want to occupy more social resources.

And women, especially beautiful women, are the top social resources. This is also the reason why almost all officials and wealthy people in feudal society have three wives and four concubines.

Of course, modern society is bound by law and morality, and most ordinary people can abide by their duties, but the vast majority of rich and powerful people have long been the popular 'mistress' culture!

The most typical is Wang Zheng, at the beginning, he knew that there was a huge gap between himself and Shen Bing, so he kept a distance from the other party, and he had no delusions. But with the growing growth of Taoyuan Villa, until now he has become the guest of the provincial party secretary, Wang Zheng's inevitable desire and ambition have also swelled countless times. The perception of Shen Bing also quietly changed.

Of course, when a person who abides by the law and abides by moral habits wants to break through the bottom line, he is always nervous. And this is also one of the reasons why Wang Zheng feels guilty now.

"Is there a lot of things going on in the company?" Yu Yixue's ethereal voice carried a hint of concern.

"Because it's a half-year summary meeting, there's a little more to do than usual!"

"Did you have dinner then?"

"I've already eaten it in the company!"

"That'...... Then you should rest early, it's not too early!" Yu Yixue, who has a cold temperament, although she has a lot of things to say to Wang Zheng in her heart, she doesn't know how to express her feelings, and she can't think of any lingering love words.

And Wang Zheng, who was already a little guilty in his heart, didn't want to talk more, "I know, then you should go to bed early?" I'll go back in a few days, and I'll buy you a gift when the time comes!"

"Hmm!

"Hmm...... Whew!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zheng let out a long sigh. Sitting on the sofa, his expression changed, and the thoughts in his mind were boiling and complicated, and after a while, Wang Zheng got up and went upstairs to rest.

The next day, after Wang Zheng got up early and practiced Tai Chi in the courtyard of the villa, in view of the lesson of yesterday's hunger, he asked Zhao Tian to buy some breakfast from outside to pad his stomach. Then I drove out of the house, and arrived outside the family home of the provincial party committee twenty minutes earlier than the morning meeting time agreed yesterday.

"Hey, I'm here!"

"Ah, wait a minute, I'll come down right away!"

"Smack!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Bing, who had already finished dressing up early, looked at himself in the mirror wearing a blue floral knitted top and a white long skirt, long hair and shawl, exquisite makeup, and noble temperament.

The sound of hurried footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the Shen couple who were eating.

"Bingbing, not eating?"

"Dad, you guys eat, I'll go out with my friends to eat!"

As soon as he said this, Shen Bing had already walked down the stairs.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, which startled the unprepared Shen Bing.

"Mom, what are you doing, it's so loud, it scares me to death!" After patting his towering chest, Shen Bing was ready to continue walking.

"Did I tell you to wait when you didn't hear?"

Gao Min, who was stern, slapped the chopsticks on the table with a 'bang', pushed away the dining chair, and walked quickly to Shen Bing's side.

Looking at his mother with a serious expression, Shen Bing subconsciously took a step back. From childhood to adulthood, although her father Shen Hongwei was in officialdom and was the head of the family, he doted on her more. Gao Min, as a mother, is the most feared existence for Shen Bing. To put it simply, it is 'strict mother and loving father'!

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Say, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend, how is it possible, I just asked my girlfriend to dinner!" Shen Bing smiled unnaturally.

"Which girlfriend are you?" asked Gao Min in hot pursuit. Yesterday, she personally visited the company headquarters of 'Baiweiju', and after finding nothing, she is ready to have a complete showdown with her daughter today to figure things out. Otherwise, she was worried that her daughter would be deceived by some 'bastard boy'.

"My classmates when I was in college, I didn't know you either!"

"When you were in college, I knew all the people in your dormitory, tell me who it was?" Gao Min, who decided that her daughter had a boyfriend, is now 'insisting on Qingshan and not relaxing', and she must find out the truth before she is willing.

"It's not my dormitory, it's my classmates!" Shen Bing hurriedly said.

"That's right, since it's your classmate, let's let the family come in for breakfast!" As he spoke, Gao Min raised his feet and walked towards the door.

Shen Bing was anxious at first sight, and the conflict with her mother when Wang Zheng pretended to be her boyfriend last time is still vivid. Although Wang Zheng is not what it used to be, she can't guarantee whether the powerful mother will be able to get along with him.

Therefore, when Gao Min was changing her shoes, Shen Bing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her.

"Mom, what are you doing here, I'm just having dinner with my classmates, are you so obsessed with it?"

"As for, if you don't make things clear today, you won't want to get out of this house!" Gao Min, who crossed his waist with one hand, blocked the entrance door of the villa.

"Dad, look at my mother'......!"

The unimaginable Shen Bing could only move the rescuers according to his usual habits.

"Bingbing, just tell your mother. Besides, even if you survive today, you won't be able to escape for the rest of your life, right? If you want to be together in the future, you still have to bring it home to show us!"

"Yes, yes, your father and I have no objection to you having a boyfriend, you call someone outside in to show us, as long as I am satisfied, I promise not to stop you in the future!"

Looking at his smiling father and his mother, who looked hopeful, Shen Bing was very hesitant in his heart. She also wanted to bring Wang Zheng to her parents.

But her mother's snobbery left a deep impression on her, and Shen Bing, who still had a limited understanding of Wang Zheng's career, was not sure if her mother would be able to accept him.

Coupled with the bad first impression last time, Shen Bing's plan was to wait for Wang Zheng's career to go further, and then introduce him to his parents as his boyfriend.

This minimizes the risk.
