Chapter 33 Zhou Bin

"Alright, now we're done talking. Mr. Zhou, you also know the rules here, if you want to make furniture, you still need to provide wood! Uncle Long said at this time.

"Well, I know the rules of Long Lao, I have already brought all the materials, the serious Indian small leaf red sandalwood, just at the Quancheng Railway Station, I will bring it to you this afternoon. Of course, the rest of the material is yours! Also, this is a check for two million, please keep it up! ”

Looking at the bearer check from the commercial bank on the table, the old man couldn't help but shake his head, "I'm very grateful if you can help me recommend Xiaodong to Elder Yan, so you better take this money back!" ”

"No, no, Long Lao! Your old craftsmanship is the top in China, I am very grateful to be able to make furniture for me, you must accept this check anyway, otherwise I will really not let you make a move this time! Zhou Bin stood up and said hurriedly.

Looking at the firm expression on his face, the old man hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, and then smiled boldly: "Okay, I'll accept this check with a cheeky face, don't worry, as long as the material arrives, at most a month, what you want will be ready!" ”

"Hehe, that's the best! Not enough, one more thing do you need Elder Long's help? Zhou Bin continued.

"What do you say? As long as my old man can do his best, he will naturally help you! ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I like this Guan Gong statue carved by Brother Liu very much, I don't know if Brother Liu can give him to me?" Zhou Bin asked with a smile.

"What do you see, Xiaodong?" The old man asked.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Liu Dong also stood up from his seat, to be honest, he still liked Zhou Bin's boldness, and this statue of Guan Gong was also put on sale in Taiyi Pavilion after he originally planned to show it to Uncle Long.

Now, since Zhou Bin likes it so much, it is the same to sell it to him, "Since Mr. Zhou likes it, then this statue of Guan Gong will be given to you!" ”

Liu Dong knew very well in his heart how rare and precious it was to be able to worship Yan Lao, the jade carving master of the Northern School, as his teacher, which was something that hundreds of thousands of jade carvers across the country dreamed of. Therefore, even now that Zhou Bin has agreed, and he still has the face of Long Lao, he is still a little unsteady in his heart.

Therefore, he wanted to give this statue of Guan Gong to Zhou Bin, there is a way to 'take people with short hands and eat people with short mouths', after so many years of mixing outside, Liu Dong still knows this truth.

Therefore, at this moment, his tone is also unprecedentedly generous, not to mention that Liu Dong, who sells Kangxi snuff bottles and has a huge sum of more than three million, as well as the valuable Wang Shuyuan Octagonal Relic Pagoda, and Tang Yin's "Spring Mountain Companion Map" long scroll, plus Liu Yong's handwritten Confucian Four Classics and other valuable treasures and antiques in his hand, are no longer as heavy as they used to be tens of thousands of yuan.

Although Zhou Bin, who has rich social experience, can more or less guess the purpose of Liu Dong's move, sometimes he knows it, but the feelings in his heart are different. is like Qianlong and He Shen in the Qing Dynasty, although Qianlong knew in his heart that He Shen was excluding him, but he couldn't bear to listen to it.

"Hehe, Brother Liu is really bold, I have made up your friend! But I can't ask for this Guan Gong wood carving for nothing! As he spoke, Zhou Bin took out a yellow covered checkbook from his jacket pocket, wrote a few numbers with a brush, and then signed it, tore it off and handed it to Liu Dong.

"Three hundred thousand? Isn't that too much! Liu Dong looked at the numbers on it and couldn't help but say in surprise.

Although the material of his Guan Gong statue is good, and the carving is also excellent, he thought that it would be sold for about 100,000 yuan at most, but he didn't expect Zhou Bin to give so much at once.

"Hehe, this is not much, the gloomy wood of the golden silk nanmu species, coupled with such a good craftsmanship of Brother Liu, 300,000, it is still my advantage!" In fact, this thing is just like an antique, if you meet something you like, even if the thing far exceeds its market value, then you are willing to buy it. Therefore, Zhou Bin, who likes this Guan Gong statue in his heart, does not think how expensive it is to buy this Guan Gong statue for 300,000 yuan.

"Alright, Xiaodong, put it away! Mr. Zhou is very rich, not bad! At this time, Uncle Long, who was sitting on the side, said.

"Old Long, you can be merciful, my money is also my own hard-earned money, and it hurts to spend it!" After Zhou Bin heard this, he couldn't help but look at the old man and smiled bitterly.

Hearing the two of them say this, Liu Dong didn't pretend anymore, and he could also see from Zhou Bin's dress, and his actions of taking two bodyguards when he went out, this person is either rich or expensive, 300,000 may be a lot for himself, but for others, it is just a hair on his thigh.

Although, he had the intention to take out the 300,000 yuan and give it to Uncle Long, which should be the price of the gloomy wood at the beginning. However, Liu Dong also knew in his heart that now was not the time, so he put the check for 300,000 yuan into his pocket first.

"Brother Liu, Elder Long, it's almost noon now! Why don't I be the east today, and invite the two of you to dinner! After talking about the matter, the three chatted for a while, and Zhou Bin looked at the time on the Rolex gold watch on his wrist and said with a smile.

"No need, I'm old, it's too hot outside, so I won't go to dinner, let Xiaodong accompany you!" The old man said after waving his hand.

Looking at the look on the old man's face, Zhou Bin did not force it, and after listening to Uncle Long's instructions, Liu Dong did not refuse, in addition, he still had a very good impression of Zhou Bin, who was generous and had a bold personality.

In addition, if his own shop is really opened in Quancheng in the future, a rich man like Zhou Bin, who is rich in money and likes to carve, is his best big customer, and it is still very necessary to establish a good relationship in advance.

"That's good, since Long Lao is not going, then I can't force it. Then Brother Liu, let's go! Zhou Bin said.

"Wait! Mr. Zhou, please go and sit in front first, I still have some things to explain to Xiaodong! Just as the two of them were about to get up and drive away, Uncle Long seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke.

"Well, okay! It just so happens that I also put away this Guan Gong wood carving! Hearing this, Zhou Bin said without the slightest hint of anger on his face.

Watching his back disappear into the arch leading to the Taiyi Pavilion in front of the small courtyard, Uncle Long stretched out his hand and motioned for Liu Dong to sit down, and couldn't help but say with regret on his face, "Xiaodong, I have tried my best to fight for you, but unfortunately in the end, you still have to rely on yourself!" ”

"No, Uncle Long, I'm already very grateful for this opportunity! After all, with Yan Lao's status in the jade carving world, not everyone has this opportunity! Liu Dong sincerely thanked.

Looking at the strong gratitude on Liu Dong's face, the old man couldn't help but wave his hand with relief, "You just need to understand your psychology, after you go back this time, work hard!" Strive to make your carving skills to a higher level in this half a year, and with the help of Zhou Bin, you will have a great hope of success! ”

"I know, Uncle Long, after I go back, I will definitely work hard!" Liu Dong said with a firm expression, "Well, by the way, Uncle Long's ......!" ”

Liu Dong just took out the check for 300,000 yuan that Zhou Bin handed him from his pocket, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Uncle Long, "Okay, you can keep the 300,000 yuan yourself, I'm a lot old, I don't need so much money!" After a pause, "Okay, stinky boy, let's go, don't let Mr. Zhou wait for a long time, it's not good to snub people!" ”

After listening to his words, Liu Dong, who understood the old man's temperament, didn't say anything, but really kept the old man's concern for him in his heart, secretly thinking that he must repay him if he has the opportunity in the future, but he himself knows that this kind of opportunity is probably rare.
