"Hmph, you know me very well!" Zhao Defang sneered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You and I are with each other, I believe that Boss Zhao has known me in enough detail during this time, even the detailed topographical map of my mountain villa, and where I live, you know it clearly! And these have only taken less than a week. If you give Boss Zhao another month, I'm afraid everything around me will have no secrets for you!"
Zhao Defang didn't seem to hear Wang Zheng's sarcasm, and his face didn't change in the slightest!
With that, everything was spread out. I still say the same thing, I want the map, but I will never accept the price of 1.5 billion Huaxia coins!"
Looking at Zhao Defang's determined expression, Wang Zheng knew that he would probably not give in in his heart.
"Boss Zhao, I also have my own principles and bottom line. I can give up the treasure, you want to get the map from me, the bottom line of 1.5 billion is a must!"
"Then there's nothing to talk about?"
"Not yet!" After a stalemate for a while, Wang Zheng said slowly.
This time he took the initiative to back down.
And Zhao Defang, who had the upper hand, showed a wisp of color in his eyes.
"I can take a step back, I can give up the ranch in Canada, but it must be converted into 600 million Huaxia dollars and transferred to the account of Taoyuan Villa in the form of a low-interest loan within three days, I don't think this is difficult for Mr. Zhao! Also, Rubens's oil painting and the Qianlong Imperial Kiln Turning Heart Vase of the Qing Dynasty must be handed over to the museum of Taoyuan Villa in the form of free donations!"
After the words fell, Wang Zheng looked directly into Zhao Defang's eyes and said calmly: "This is also my last bottom line, which cannot be changed!"
After the two exchanged eyes for a while, it was like Wang Zheng saw his firmness in Zhao Defang's eyes just now. At this time, Zhao Defang also read the same look from Wang Zheng's eyes.
After a long silence, Zhao Defang spoke.
"There is no problem with a loan of 600 million. There is no problem with the Qianlong pastel hollow turnaround bottle. But that Rubens's Massacre of the Innocents is one of my wife's favorite paintings, and I can't give it to you!
"Oh?" Wang Zheng's eyes lit up!
"I have a handscroll in my hand of Cai Xiang, one of the four Song Dynasty families, "Wan'an Bridge Chronicle" regular script handscroll, 153 characters, plus the promotion of celebrities in the past dynasties, the painting heart is 8 meters long, plus the back of the abdomen and the heaven and earth pole, the calligraphy scroll is 12 meters long. I think it's worth as much as Rubens' paintings!"
Cai Xiang and Huang Tingjian are equally famous, both of them are one of the four Song families, and his calligraphy works are few, so the value of his calligraphy scrolls is not inferior to Huang Tingjian.
It is conceivable that if this handkerchief in regular script of Cai Xiang's "The Story of Wan'an Bridge" is genuine, then its value is even higher than that of Huang Tingjian's "Pillar Inscription" that Wang Zheng just received.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a valuable art treasure in the hands of Boss Zhao!"
"Xia Worm can't talk about ice, there are more things you can't think of!"
Wang Zheng didn't care about Zhao Defang's sarcasm, what he valued was substantive benefits!
After smiling indifferently, Wang Zheng said: "I agree with Boss Zhao's conditions! A loan of 600 million Chinese coins, plus Cai Xiang's "Wan'an Bridge Chronicle" regular script handscroll, and the 'Qing Dynasty Qianlong Hollow Pastel Turning Heart Bottle', in exchange for this treasure map in my hand! The time limit is three days!"
"No, three days is too short, I need a week!"
"Okay, a week is a week! However, I hope that Boss Zhao will not find someone to test my patience again, otherwise this transaction will be invalidated!"
"I think I still know how to do it!" Zhao Defang said coldly.
"Happy working together!"
ā¦ā¦
won Zhao Defang, Wang Zheng was relieved. Although the things I got in my hands were less than half of the three billion low-interest loans. However, Wang Zheng didn't think that he could really use a map to get a loan of three billion yuan.
At present, it is a very good result to be able to get two priceless works of art and a loan of 600 million. Even, if it weren't for Wang Zheng's urgent need for funds to participate in the auction and collect artworks to complete the task, this condition would be more advantageous than a low-interest loan of three billion. After all, after the artwork is in the hand, it will no longer be like a loan, and it will be repaid with interest when it expires.
And the loan of three billion, even if it is at low interest, will have to repay a large amount of money after it expires.
That's more cost-effective, it's clear at a glance.
"Now, our museum is finally getting a little bit of a look!"
Looking at the nearly 300 pieces of porcelain in the 2,000-square-meter exhibition hall, under the dazzling spotlight, Wang Zheng showed a gratifying smile on his face.
"Thank you boss for your strong support, otherwise there would not be such a large collection now!" Wang Lei said on the side.
Wang Zheng nodded, walked to the center of the huge porcelain hall, and on the half-height booth, protected by solid tempered glass, a slim and elegant blue and white plum vase like an ancient boudoir woman with a faint eyebrow, and a narrow-mouthed, brightly colored pastel porcelain vase appeared in his eyes.
In order to highlight the particularity of these two pieces of porcelain, the distance around them was deliberately widened. And the height of the counter is also almost 30 cm higher than the companion next to it!
"This is the 'Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xin' Yuan blue and white plum vase, and the 'Qing Dynasty Qianlong Pastel Hollow Turning Heart Vase' from Zhao Defang?"
"That's right! Now these two pieces of porcelain are the treasures of our entire porcelain exhibition hall!" Wang Lei said.
"It's beautiful!"
After admiring the two pieces of porcelain for a while, Wang Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Now that he sees these exquisite porcelain, he feels an indescribable sense of satisfaction that makes him find a trace of joy in collecting.
In addition to completing the 'museum' task issued by the Shennong system, Wang Zheng also somewhat likes the interest of collecting.
Of course, it's just a hobby now, and it's unknown when it can become a hobby and pursuit.
"How many collections does the Porcelain Museum have now?"
"329 pieces! 2 first-class artworks, 19 second-class artworks, and the rest are all third-level artworks!"
For the museum's collection, Wang Lei is a treasure.
After nodding his head clearly, Wang Zheng continued: "This time, the spring auctions of various auction houses are about to start, and we will definitely participate in it. By the end of June, I'm afraid we'll have to add another two or three hundred pieces to our collection, or even more. Is there enough exhibition space available?"
"Boss, rest assured! We have already renovated three of the 2,000-square-meter porcelain exhibition halls like the current one, so even if you get a thousand pieces of porcelain from the auction, we will have enough exhibition space." ā
"In this way, the porcelain pavilion is enough. But Wang Lei, our future porcelain collection is not a few thousand, but tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!
Tiebi Mountain is thousands of meters high, covering an area of more than 5,000 acres, and there is enough space for us to display it up and down!"
Wang Zheng nodded, looked at the exquisite porcelain in the tempered glass, and said in a firm tone: "Counting them, as well as the four calligraphy and painting treasures in the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall, we have already gathered six of the ten first-class artworks needed for the second ring of the museum's task, and the remaining four are not allowed to be missed in the spring auctions of the major auction houses!"
"Boss, we are nearly half short of the 100 second-level artworks assigned to the task!"
"I almost forgot!" Wang Zheng patted his head, "Fortunately, we have gathered 1,000 third-level artworks, otherwise we will be even busier in the spring auctions of major auction houses this time!"
"Jingle bell ......!"
At this moment, the mobile phone in Wang Lei's pocket rang.
"Whose phone number?"
"Li Hongchang is here!"
Li Hongchang is the deputy general manager of the villa, specializing in the operation of the villa hotel and major scenic spots, which Wang Zheng still knows.
"I guess I have something to do with you, let's take it quickly!"
"Hmm!"
Wang Lei nodded and quickly pressed the answer button. After a short time, I saw him say to Wang Zheng with a happy face, "Boss, Secretary Zhen has arrived at our villa!"
"Secretary Zhen, Zhen Guoqun?" Wang Zheng was in a mood for a while, and hurriedly asked.
"Hmm!" Wang Lei nodded violently.
"Great!" Wang Zheng clapped his fist high-fives, and his expression immediately cheered up.
He has long been looking forward to Zhen Guoqun's visit, in addition to expanding his contacts in the officialdom, Wang Zheng also hopes to use Zhen Guoqun's influence to completely beat out the influence of Taoyuan Villa, especially the influence of the wealthy class.
"Where is Secretary Zhen now?"
"Hong Chang said, Secretary Zhen is now in the restaurant of our Villa Afternoon Palace Hotel!"
"Where's the restaurant?"
Wang Zheng thought that he needed to meet the other party immediately.
"I don't know ...... either!"
"I don't know?...... Forget it, let's go over and have a look first!" Wang Zheng didn't have time to get angry, so he quickly turned around and walked towards the outside of the museum in a hurry.
To get from the East Iron Arm Mountain, where the museum is located, to get to the hotel in the Central Valley, you have to bypass Wangjiawan and cross the Qing River, a distance of more than two kilometers. If you walk, you always have to take some time.
Ten minutes later, Wang Zheng and Wang Lei hurried all the way to the Chougong Hotel.
When they first entered the hall, they were wearing black suits and had been waiting for a long time, and Li Hongchang, who looked anxious, hurriedly greeted them.
"Boss, Mr. Wang!"
"Where is Secretary Zhen?" Wang Zheng hurriedly asked.
"In the restaurant on the second floor, it's already eaten!"
"Eaten?"
"Yes! If I hadn't just gone to the hotel on the second floor to check on today's meal and happened to find Secretary Zhen, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that he had arrived at our villa!"
"It seems that Secretary Zhen has given us a 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, secretly crossing Chen Cang' this time! I have been thinking about when he will come, but I didn't expect Secretary Zhen to sneak here by himself!" Wang Zheng shook his head with a slightly bitter face, "Let's go, let's go up!"
