Chapter 639: Guardian Spring Auction

……

Indeed, since the other party can rise within a year and reach the current height, it should not be too difficult to fill the 20 billion hole in another two to three years!

Thinking of this, Lin Ling's heart inexplicably relaxed a lot!

But soon another question came to mind.

"Xiaodong, how are you going to spend the 20 billion, it's impossible to invest in rose jewelry, right?"

"Of course it's not a rose jewel!" Liu Dong showed a look of thought on his face.

After the acquisition of Han's Jewelry, which has assets larger than its own, it will take at least a year for Rose Jewelry to integrate the human resources, marketing, logistics and logistics configuration of the two companies, etc.!

Therefore, if you want to continue to expand the scale of rose jewelry, you will have to wait at least until the end of next year.

As for the Taiyi Pavilion and Agarwood Pavilion under the Dongchao Group, because of the particularity of the industry, blind expansion is not advisable, and one step at a time is the most reasonable development strategy for the two companies.

The newly established Puhua Red Star Auction House is now the third in China, the earliest auction company in the industry, and what the auction industry needs is not to expand in stride, but to collect enough collectibles, as for the influence, the domestic influence of the original Red Star Auction House is already big enough!

Excluding Hengyuan Real Estate, which only holds 40% of the shares of Liu Dong, and Fuxing Gambling Stone, which only has 49% of the shares, there are only three large companies that are really controlled by Liu Dong, except for Dongchao Group, which are Jiahua Group and Qingyang Venture Capital.

Investment. Liu Dong is not good at it, and he believes more in tangible real assets, and has little enthusiasm for investing in the stock market and futures, as well as the Internet industry, which Zhang Fan is keen on.

And the 20 billion capital is too big, Liu Dong has no intention of investing in Qingyang Venture Capital.

So K. Wah Group is now the only option.

After Liu Dong's reintegration, it is owned by K. Wah Group. Now it has Jiahua Travel Company, Jiahua Hotel Management Company, Qingzhou Yanghe Scenic Area Development and Management Company, Hu-Beiguanjiachong Scenic Area Development and Management Company, and a Ctrip travel network!

The development of the scenic spot is a long-term project, and he is very satisfied with the development plan of the original two scenic spots. In addition to taking out part of the construction funds from 20 billion to make up for the construction funds of the two development companies, Liu Dong is not ready to launch a new scenic spot development plan!

Liu Dong doesn't see the future of Ctrip.com too clearly, but he won't favor one over the other, and it is not difficult for Liu Dong to invest one or two hundred million of them!

In summary. These three companies will cost Liu Dong nearly 3 billion yuan!

The rest of the travel agencies and K. Wah Hotels are the bulk of Liu Dong's intended investment, and the entry point in the tourism and hotel industry is relatively low, and it has the foundation for rapid expansion!

And there is also real estate that Liu Dong will never forget, and Liu Dong also plans to enter!

Of course, there is no urgency now, even with Zhou Bin's help, if you want to get the 20 billion loan, it will take at least a month.

During this time, Liu Dong has enough time to consider his next industrial layout!

drove Lin Ling home and briefly told Wang Qiang about what he talked to Zhou Bin at noon. Although Wang Qiang was surprised by the 20 billion loan, she still expressed her support for Liu Dong's decision.

Of course, what excites Wang Qiang the most is that the annexation of Han's jewelry has become a reality. You must know that the significance of Han's jewelry to Wang Qiang is not just a jewelry company, originally her father's hard work was also one of them, and Wang Qiang was naturally excited to have the opportunity to get it back this time.

If Liu Dong hadn't stopped her, it is estimated that when she received the news again, she would have rushed to Chongqing as soon as possible!

But that's it. Because Wang Qiang still had to catch the plane at 6 o'clock in the morning, the person who went to the Guardian auction with Liu Dong in the evening became Lin Ling next to him.

8 p.m. Liu Dong took Lin Ling to the ** hotel, where the auction was held, on time and paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan. After receiving a bidding sign, he walked in with Lin Ling.

As a place where the hotel was originally used to hold large banquets, the 1200-square-meter venue is spacious enough, but the only fly in the ointment is that there are no private rooms here, only rows of seats to ensure that more people can be accommodated.

According to the position Zhou Bin said before, Liu Dong found the other party in the front row very smoothly!

"Brother Zhou!"

"Xiaodong, you're here! Sit down! The auction is about to start!"

Just when Zhou Bin greeted Liu Dong, the person who was originally sitting next to Zhou Bin and talking to him also looked at Liu Dong.

And the undisguised scrutiny in the other party's eyes made Liu Dong a little curious.

At this moment, Zhou Bin also discovered the eye contact between the two sides, and said with a chuckle: "Xiaodong, let me introduce you, this is Gu Zhichun, President of our Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, if you want to take a loan from ICBC, you have to talk to our President Gu more!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong's eyes lit up, and after nodding, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was about forty years old, wearing a simple suit, with a calm and capable body, stretched out his right hand and said, "President Gu, please take care of me!"

"Well, as long as it is in line with the ICBC process, if Mr. Liu wants a loan, just come to me!" Although Gu Zhichun came to participate in this auction because of Zhou Bin's face, he was not unprincipled, so he took the first step to make his position clear.

The people present were all smart people, whether it was Zhou Bin or Liu Dong, they all heard the other party's words, except for Zhou Bin frowning and saying nothing, Liu Dong had nothing unusual on his face, originally he just wanted Zhou Bin to help him take the lead, and he didn't plan to take the other party's relationship through the back door, so his loan was naturally in line with the process of ICBC.

"Of course, this is not the first time I have cooperated with your bank, I understand all the procedural things, and I believe that I have enough ability to repay your bank's loan!" Liu Dong said confidently.

Seeing this, Gu Zhichun's face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

From Liu Dong's words and expression, it can be seen that the other party does not intend to rely on Zhou Bin's momentum to come to him through the back door, but indeed rely on his strength to borrow from ICBC, of course, it is not a small amount to be able to find him.

But none of this matters, as long as the other party says, there is enough ability to repay, there is no problem in lending to the other party, after all, loans and deposits are indicators of the bank's performance.

And to his current status, if he wants to continue to go on in the officialdom, the relationship has retreated to the second place, and the most important thing is real performance, otherwise there is nothing to do, even if he wins the support of the family behind Zhou Bin, then the deputy ministerial level will come to an end!

"Hehe, in this way, I really hope to have a good chat with Mr. Liu!"

"I can't ask for it!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Both, if you want to continue chatting, let's wait until the auction is over, now the people behind you have a lot of opinions about you!" Zhou Bin said with a smile.

After being reminded by him, the two also realized that they were blocking the view of the people behind them.

After reflecting this, he quickly sat down on the chair next to him.

Subsequently, after the three of them chatted briefly for a while, Liu Dong also got Gu Zhichun's contact information and made an appointment with the other party for the next meeting.

And at this time, the Guardian Spring Auction of Calligraphy and Painting also began!

And as soon as the first auction item appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.

"Chen Shaomei's "Coats Lotus Appreciation Picture", the low price is 500,000 yuan, and the price increase must not be less than 20,000 yuan each time, and now interested collectors can bid!" said the auctioneer who presided over the auction.

Chen Shaomei was born in the country often said that the scholarly family, proficient in calligraphy and painting, when he was a teenager was already a literary style, outstanding painting skills, Chen Shaomei joined the Jinbeilou, Chen Shizeng and other initiation of the organization of the Chinese Painting Research Association, at the age of 17 became the backbone of the famous Lake Society Painting Association, at the age of 21, his works won the "Belgian Founding Centennial International Exposition" Art Silver Award, at the age of 22, he presided over the Tianjin branch of the Lake Society, and became the leader of the Tianjin painting circle.

The works are strong and broad, enough to compete with the ancient sages, forming a beautiful and masculine style of painting, becoming the most outstanding painter in the late Ming Dynasty to carry forward the painting of the Northern Song Dynasty, with the reputation of "the first person after Tang Yin", and is considered to be "erecting an insurmountable peak in the modern and modern art world".

Like many talented talents in history, the 46-year-old Chen Shaomei died of cerebral hemorrhage, so the other party's works have survived less, so in the ** decade, this painter who was one of the 'big red robes' alongside Ren Bonian, Pan Tianshou and others was only about 100,000, but since entering the new century, Chen Shaomei's paintings have been highly sought after, and a "Summer Hill" at the just-concluded Hong Kong Sotheby's auction reached a high price of 1.4 million!

And now the "Coats Lotus Appreciation Picture" on the electronic screen is also a masterpiece of Chen Shaomei, and the painting has a width of 9 square feet, if nothing else, it is also a work of more than one million!

And such a master's handwriting is also the goal that Liu Dong is chasing, so when the painting price exceeded 900,000, Liu Dong decisively joined the ranks of the competition, and raised the price to one million when he came up!

"Xiaodong, do you like this painting too?" Zhou Bin said.

"Of course, as long as it's a master's handiwork, I like it!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid of buying fakes?"

You must know that even at the auction, no one guarantees that all the collections are genuine, and Liu Dong did not participate in the three-day preview of the Guardian Spring Auction!

"Hehe, Brother Zhou, don't worry, even if I haven't participated in the preview and haven't seen the authenticity of this painting with my own eyes, I believe in my own appraisal ability!" Liu Dong said confidently.

Of course, the reason why Liu Dong is so confident is that he still relies on the relics of Yuanguang, although this painting was not taken out, but it was stored in this hotel, Liu Dong was able to accurately find it and identify the authenticity!
