Chapter 1145 The Gentleman in the Stone
……
"Liu Dong, you better think about it more, after all, the funds involved in this are not a small amount, at least it will cost tens of millions, and at most it will be hundreds of millions...... it is not unusual!"
"Don't worry, Brother Zhu! I know it in my heart! As for the money, don't worry about it! Okay, let's wait until we meet Mr. Zhu tomorrow to talk about the specific things, now let's go to the hotel to stay first!" After waving his hand to interrupt Zhu Jun's words, Liu Dong said.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhu Jun didn't ramble anymore, but when Liu Dong was about to turn around, he suddenly grabbed his arm and said sincerely: "Liu Dong, whether this matter is successful or not, my brother thank you very much!"
Looking at Zhu Jun, who was sincere in his words, Liu Dong smiled and nodded at the other party, and didn't say anything. At this time, it seems that everything is superfluous! Only action is the best expression.
After letting Zhu Jun stop, Liu Dong set a time for the next visit with the other party, and then drove out of the community alone, and then found a high-end hotel nearby and stayed.
After a night's rest, after having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Liu Dong is ready to go to the largest antique street in Hangzhou - Hushu South Road 'Hangzhou * Zhou Collectibles Market'!
Every time he goes to a new place, going to the antique market when he has nothing to do has become a deep-rooted habit for Liu Dong.
It's the same this time, because the time of the second visit to Zhu's house has been changed to tomorrow morning, and Liu Dong, who has nothing to do with the rest of the day, is ready to go shopping in the antique street in Hangzhou. Originally, Zhu Jun was going to come over as a tour guide, but Liu Dong thought that the father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he excused himself!
And. Old Man Zhu also has to prepare the details of the contract with him. With Zhu Jun by his side to help, you can also be faster!
"...... Dong Liu?"
Just after Liu Dong finished breakfast. When you're ready to leave the restaurant. A baritone sounded tentatively from behind him.
"Is Liu Dong really you?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in a straight suit with a look of surprise on his face, Liu Dong was puzzled: "We know each other?"
"Chairman Liu, my name is Xiao Fanbin, I am the manager of PwC Red Star Auction House in East China, and I met you at the company's annual meeting last year!" the middle-aged man said quickly with respect.
"Oh, I remembered!" Liu Dong nodded suddenly.
Today, he has dozens of companies, and there are even more heads in various regions. If Xiao Fanbin doesn't say it himself. Liu Dong only felt familiar to him, and he couldn't remember who it was!
"Are you here on a business trip?" After a brief look, Liu Dong asked with a smile after a few suit-clad attachés who followed Xiao Fanbin over.
"Yes, Liu Dong! The company has just received a big business, and the employer needs to be interviewed, so we came here in person!" Xiao Fanbin said respectfully.
"Big business?" Liu Dong was interested.
And Xiao Fanbin, who is good at observing words and feelings, hurriedly said: "Yes, Liu Dong! This time, Chen Yunfeng, a well-known local rich collector in Hangzhou, hopes to sell a batch of his collection through our auction house!"
"Chen Yunfeng!"
This name Liu Dong is not unfamiliar, and of course it is not familiar! The other party is indeed a well-known collector in Suzhou Province, especially in Hangzhou*Zhou!
But. The reason why Liu Dong knew this name was not how many priceless antiques this person had collected, but that he had a large number of Qingtian stone rough stones in the hands of the other party!
Qingtian stone, produced in Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province, takes cyan as the main color. It is known as the four great stones together with bloodstone, Shoushan stone and Bahrain stone, and has always had the reputation of being a gentleman in the stone! It is the seal carving of the literati and scholars, calligraphy and painting.
Especially the top grade in Qingtian stone, light jelly, door sealing green and orchid blue, the quantity is scarce, the value is high, but even Liu Dong is greedy for good things.
Chen Yunfeng was born in Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province, and because of the advantage of 'being close to the water and getting the moon first', he has accumulated a large number of precious Qingtian stones in his hands for more than ten years! Of course, he has also accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth because of Qingtian stones.
In terms of fame, Chen Yunfeng's reputation in the collecting world is far worse than his reputation in the business world and seal carving circles!
"When are you going to go?" Liu Dong said after a little thought.
"The appointment to meet the other party is half past nine in the morning, and we are about to go over after breakfast!" Xiao Fanbin hurriedly said.
"You don't mind adding me, right?" said Liu Dong with a smile.
"Of course I don't mind, it is an honor for our East China Branch to be able to come over!"
"Okay, you eat first, and when you're done, we'll go together!"
"Why don't you eat with us?"
"Okay, I didn't eat much just now!" Liu Dong smiled.
Of course, eating is secondary, and the most important thing is that Liu Dong is also ready to take the opportunity to eat and chat with his employees!
However, although Liu Dong is young and easy-going, his identity is different in the end! With him present, the surrounding auction house employees are not silent, but they are all very restrained. Even if there is Liu Dong's deliberate gag, there are few responders, for fear that he will say the wrong thing and make the company's big boss angry. However, although the atmosphere was a little depressing, the speed at which everyone ate was fast. In ten minutes, including Xiao Fanbin and Liu Dong, all five people have eaten.
After coming out of the hotel and rounding out several appraisal experts specially invited by the company, everyone went straight to the most upscale villa area in Hangzhou City, which is also Chen Yunfeng's residence.
"Liu Dong, this is it!"
Looking in the direction of Xiao Fanbin's finger, a flowery European-style single-family villa wrapped in a white wall appeared in Liu Dong's eyes.
Being able to buy such a single-family villa of more than 1,000 square meters in the West Lake District, which has the best environment in Hangzhou City, can also show the extraordinary economic strength of the owner's family! Although it is not big in Liu Dong's eyes!
"Let's go inside!"
Looking at the iron gate that had been slowly opened under the traction of electricity, Liu Dong parked the car outside and walked in with Xiao Fanbin.
After they entered the door, they also saw a middle-aged man in a gray coat who was standing in front of the villa and was smiling, but with a little surprise in his expression!
"Mr. Xiao, welcome, welcome!"
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
After the two exchanged simple greetings, they saw Chen Yunfeng looking at Liu Dong and asked with a smile, "I don't know if this is ......?"
"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Liu Dong, the chairman of our PwC Red Star Auction House!"
"Chairman?" Chen Yunfeng was shocked.
When they came in just now, Chen Yunfeng saw Xiao Fanbin deliberately half a step behind Liu Dong, and he knew that the other party must be extraordinary. But because Liu Dong was too young, Chen Yunfeng thought that he was the son of the owner of the PwC Red Star Auction House, or the second generation of a more prominent figure!
However, Chen Yunfeng was very human in the end, he was surprised and surprised, and quickly reacted, and hurriedly stretched out his right hand to Liu Dong and said: "Mr. Liu, it's really disrespectful!
"I came uninvited, and I hope Mr. Chen doesn't blame me!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Hehe, Mr. Liu is so polite! I can't invite a guest like you on weekdays. It's my honor for you to come to the door, please inside!"
"Please!"
Subsequently, accompanied by Chen Yunfeng, the group entered the living room of the villa.
After entering the door, after briefly looking at the classical European decoration style around him, Liu Dong sat down on the sofa in the living room. And Chen Yunfeng quickly asked the maid to bring up the tea that had been prepared a long time ago.
"There is nothing to entertain, a little tea, I hope Mr. Liu and Mr. Xiao will not dislike it!"
"If the special West Lake Longjing is not a good tea, then there are really not many good things in this world!" Liu Dong smiled after picking up the teacup and sniffing it in front of his nose.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be proficient in the tea ceremony?"
Except for those who understand tea, even if ordinary people drink tea regularly, it is difficult to distinguish their level and type from the aroma of tea.
"I can't talk about being proficient, but I have some understanding!" Liu Dong said with a smile after taking a sip of the amber tea in the cup.
"Three fingers to raise a glass, three mouthfuls into the stomach. This is not an ordinary understanding, Mr. Liu has clearly obtained the essence of the tea ceremony!"
In the face of Chen Yunfeng's deliberate compliment, although Liu Dong listened comfortably, he didn't take it to heart. In contrast, he would rather look at Chen Yunfeng's collection than listen to the so-called 'sweet words' here!
As the owner of PwC Red Star Auction House, I would like to see Mr. Chen's collection, I wonder if Mr. Chen is convenient now?"
"Of course it's convenient! Things were ready yesterday! If Mr. Liu wants to see it, he can do it now!"
"Then I'm going to trouble Mr. Chen!" Liu Dong stood up.
"No trouble, two please!" ......
Not surprisingly, Chen Yunfeng took Liu Dong and his party to the treasure room of the villa. Like most of the rich people's treasure rooms, behind the thick code door, the small treasure room is a simple but sturdy display room with a variety of displays such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and jade.
However, what attracted Liu Dong's attention the most was not these antiques, but the Qingtian stone rough that occupied most of the treasure room! Of course, the rough stone here is not an unsolved stone like the jade rough, but a natural Qingtian stone that has not been carved.
"Mr. Chen, there are really a lot of good things here!" Liu Dong smiled after glancing at almost every piece of Qingtian stone that was of the highest grade.
"Mr. Liu is polite! If you want to talk about good things, I'm afraid that all the things I have here together are less than one thousandth of the collection of Mr. Liu's Yuanming Museum!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at Chen Yunfeng, who was complimentary, and then smiled indifferently and didn't say much. (To be continued.) )
