Chapter 420: Expanding the Social Circle

………… And Liu Dong, who made a lot of money in this negotiation, also completely let go of the amount of alcohol he had exercised, and drank it with the three of them.

In addition, the three of them also intended to curry favor with Liu Dong, who was close to Zhou Bin, so the atmosphere at the banquet was very hot. Wenlin, Zhou Yang and Shan Guozhi even promised that they would allocate more diamonds and gold shares to Liu Dong in the future.

After more than an hour passed, Liu Dong relied on his extraordinary physique and the amount of 1,000 cups of alcohol he had exercised, and completely drank Wenlin and Zhou Yang, the three dinner fighters who had tested alcohol!

"Squeak!" After being busy for a while, Zhou Bin, who took the time to come over, pushed the door and came in, looking at the three people who were staggering on the sofa and had fallen asleep, he was secretly surprised.

Then he smiled at Liu Dong, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking a little wine and eating the most delicious dishes in the Yuquan Mountain Canteen: "Xiaodong didn't see it, are you quite able to drink?

Hearing this, Liu Dong put down his chopsticks, stood up and said with a smile: "I also recently learned to drink!Brother Zhou, why are you here now, and you're busy outside?"

"It's almost busy! Okay, don't say more, Xiaodong, you come with me, Yun Cong and the others have also arrived, just let them take you to meet a few more friends!"

After listening to Zhou Bin's words, Liu Dong naturally agreed that he could come here today to pay homage to Old Man Zhou's birthday. Basically, they are all giants in the military, politics and economics. Be able to get to know one more. After three years of social polishing, Liu Dong has a deeper understanding of the phrase 'multiple friends and multiple roads'.

"What about them?" Liu Dong hesitated and pointed at Wenlin and them. It's not polite to leave the three drunk people here, Liu Dong doesn't want his relationship to get close so hard, and he will lose his efforts because of a little negligence.

"Hehe, don't worry! There is a hotel on the third floor here, I'll ask the service staff to take them up later!"

After listening to Zhou Bin's words, Liu Dong also relieved his heart. immediately followed Zhou Bin and walked down. I also saw Li Yuncong, who was sitting in the hall on the first floor at the moment. Of course, there are more people Liu Dong doesn't know.

……

Liu Dong is really glad to be able to come over today to attend the birthday banquet of Mrs. Zhou, under the introduction of Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong, he is familiar with many officials in the capital, and left contact information for each other.

Although Liu Dong understands that among these people, it is impossible for everyone to be as iron as Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong's relationship with him, but even if only one or two are counted as Liu Dong's earnings, after all, these yamen take out one at random, and their families all have a strong network in China. This is all invisible wealth, of course, Liu Dong needs to be carefully managed!

In addition to these yamen, people in the mall and politicians were helped by Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong. Liu Dong also knows a lot, although many people don't need it now. However, Liu Dong still carefully remembered the appearance, occupation and contact information of these people in his mind.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Liu Dong has always been here, and this opportunity to expand his network is hard to come by, so it is natural to make the most of it. In addition, Li Lao also called him just now and asked him to go to the villa and take back the antiques that were placed there!

"Brother Zhou, I'll go back first!" After the others were almost gone, Liu Dong walked to Zhou Bin, who was following the elders of the family to see off the guests, and said.

"It's only four o'clock, it's so early, what are you doing in a hurry, stay and play for a while, it's okay if you go back anyway!"

"No, I still have to go to Elder Li's, it happens to be convenient now!" Liu Dong said with a smile. For him, the heavily guarded Yuquan Mountain, although the scenery is good and suitable for health preservation, but it feels like a prison to Liu Dong, with a sense of restraint. Maybe this is also related to his status, after all, Liu Dong is now only a successful businessman at best, and the gap is too big compared to the bigwigs in Yuquan Mountain.

Seeing Liu Dong's resolute attitude, Zhou Bin didn't persuade again, "That's okay, I'll let Gangzi send you off when you leave!"

"No, no need! This going down the mountain is not like when I came in, it's not so strict, I'll just go back by myself when the time comes!" Noticing that another guest came out, Liu Dong hurriedly said: "Okay, you're busy, I'll go first!"

"Okay, then I won't keep you, we'll talk in the next few days......!"

Fortunately, Liu Dong had a good brain, and when he came out of Grandpa Zhou Bin, he didn't get lost, and after walking for more than ten minutes, he came to Li Lao's villa!

After pushing the door in, I happened to see the old man sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper at the moment.

"Here, sit down!"

"Hey, old man, where is Brother Li?"

"I'm drunk, I'm sleeping upstairs!" said the old man, put down the newspaper, picked up the teacup and teapot on the table and poured it for Liu Dong.

"Old man, I'll just come by myself!"

"Okay, you don't have to be polite when you come to me!" After waving his hand to signal Liu Dong to sit down, Li Lao said.

"How's it going?

Listening to Elder Li's words, Liu Dong nodded, "Brother Zhou and Brother Li helped me meet a lot of friends!"

"Well, Xiaodong, you kid is steady, has his own sense of proportion, and knows how to advance and retreat, which is very good, but I still have one more thing to tell you!"

"Please speak!" Liu Dong said respectfully.

"You don't have to be nervous, it's not a big deal. It's just an experience of my life for half a lifetime, maybe someone has told you before!" After a pause, Li Lao said seriously, "Xiaodong, having many friends and a wide range of relationships is indeed very beneficial to your own development, but everything has a degree, once it is exceeded, you will be bound by this network of relationships in the future." When the time comes, a lot of things will be involuntarily!"

"Old Li, I remember!" Liu Dong nodded. He understood the mention of Li Lao's words, because Liu Dong's current identity is indeed very different from the children of these wealthy and powerful people, just like Tian Qilang in the Liaozhai story, the rich only need to give money to repay the favor, but the poor repay the favor, except for one life, there is nothing else.

Of course, Liu Dong's situation may not be as bad as Tian Qilang's, but the central meaning is the same. In the final analysis, personal debts are the most difficult to exchange! Moreover, the old man is also afraid that Liu Dong will get involved with these lawless and powerful children, and when the time comes, they will break the law and commit crimes, and people will have family support, and Liu Dong has no power and no power, only himself, which is too much of a loss!

"Just remember, you are a smart child, and you are also very capable, plus you are still young now, there will always be a day when you will develop!

Seeing Liu Dong nodding, the old man also understood that he had taken his words to heart, "Okay, don't say anything superfluous, I called you over, in addition to asking you to take things back, I just want to ask you last time you said in front of Lao Zheng that you wanted to set up a private museum, is it your excuse, or do you really have this plan?"

"Old Li, it's true, I really have this plan!" Liu Dong said. In his opinion, if he didn't have the windfall of relics Yuanguang, then Liu Dong might have collected antiques for his hobby after making a fortune, and there were not many things, and there was no need to run a museum.

But now it is naturally different, now it is less than half a year, in addition to a large number of bronzes, jade, and lacquerware from the tomb of King Chuzhuang, but he has collected nearly five hundred pieces of calligraphy and painting, porcelain, miscellaneous, jade, etc., and there are dozens of treasures of its Chinese treasure level. Therefore, it is too extravagant for him to appreciate alone!

Moreover, he didn't want his descendants to bury his life's work after his death, so opening a private museum to put all the antiques and treasures he had collected all his life into it and develop it for the public to visit. What's more, although Liu Dong is young, he is still quite willing to do this kind of thing that will leave a name in history!

"Hehe, well, since you have this heart, then I, the old man, will naturally support it! When the time comes, the collections I put in Quancheng will also be handed over to you to set up a museum!" the old man said with a smile.

"Then old man, I'm not welcome, I've been thinking about your old collection for a long time!" Liu Dong said with a smile. Li Lao's collection of nearly 5,000 pieces, but the old man's savings of three generations, most of which are fine works, just talking about calligraphy and painting, in addition to the works of modern painters, there are more than 500 calligraphy and paintings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are more than 200 calligraphy and paintings in the Tang, Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan dynasties, this number is not comparable to many provincial museums.

"I know you kid has this idea!" the old man laughed. Although at the beginning, I still relied on the recommendation of my old friend Uncle Long, but after getting along for so long, the old man looked at Liu Dong more and more pleasing to the eye, and now he almost regards him as a nephew!

"By the way, since you're planning to open a museum, do you have a specific plan now?"

After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong nodded, and after a long silence, he hesitated: "Old man, I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"You kid, what else can't you say to me, you can't, don't you still have an old man like me! I'll support you when the time comes!" The old man has been fighting for half his life, and although he has retreated, he is still in a hurry.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Liu Dong gritted his teeth and said cautiously: "Old Li, I want to rebuild the Old Summer Palace!"

"What?" Li Laodeng's eyes widened, and his face was full of shock.
