Chapter 249: A Good Opportunity from Hong Kong Island

Li Yan got up from the bed, looked in the mirror, and saw that his face was no longer white, his eyes were no longer red, and his body was completely back to normal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that he is good, the little God of Wealth is ready to leave.

Before parting, the little God of Wealth showed off a little proudly. Because Li Yan has recently increased the supply of star stones, his incense value has soared again, and his ranking on the incense list has improved a lot.

Correspondingly, the incense of the land god and the grain god is also much more vigorous.

The little God of Wealth came to help Li Yan relieve his illness today, which can be regarded as a return for the peach.

Before going out, the little God of Wealth glanced at Tang Mingyue and said, "Thanks to her drive, your recent merits have risen a lot, which is very good." Save up a little more merit and I'll give you a big gift package next time! ”

Li Yan shook his hand and smiled as he went out.

Looking at Li Yan, who suddenly became lively, Tang Mingyue behind her looked incredulous: "Li Yan, why did you get up?" Aren't you still out of bed in the morning? ”

Li Yan looked back and smiled, and said, "I'm fine." It's all good. ”

"Okay? How is this possible!? ”

"Because I'm Superman!"

“……”

That night, Li Yan received a phone call, which was from Wen Jiayi, an old classmate he met yesterday. Wen Jiayi sincerely invited him to go out for a party in the evening, saying that his boss Zhou Zhenghuang wanted to make friends with Li Yan very much.

Zhou Zhenghuang is a native of Hong Kong Island, mainly engaged in the entertainment business, and is said to have connections in several major international auction houses on Hong Kong Island.

"Many friends and many roads, old classmates, your family's jewelry store, if there are any world-famous treasures in the future, maybe you can ask the auction house to auction a high price, which can be regarded as a win-win situation."

Wen Jiayi persuaded Li Yan like this.

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "An old classmate, your friend is my friend, I will invite you in the evening." ”

So, Zhou Zhenghuang entertained Li Yan at a business club in Shenzhen in the evening.

After drinking a few glasses of red wine, smoking a box of cigars, and slowly getting acquainted, the conversation box between the two sides also opened.

Zhou Zhenghuang is a typical and traditional Hong Kong Island person, although he is the boss, he has a market atmosphere, and he has the pragmatic, tenacious, hard-working and somewhat slippery character of Hong Kong Island people in his bones.

He has a lot of business on Hong Kong Island, not only doing transportation and trade and other industries, but also playing financial investment, and has two pawnshops and several cultural shops. Although there are many ways to make money, in terms of his own interests, his favorite is still cultural play.

When Li Yan first became the driver of the Ten Thousand Worlds, he bought and sold cultural relics in the Azure Star and the parallel world, and made a lot of money, so he was also half a cultural relics merchant. Therefore, when it comes to this topic, the two sides have a sense of agreement.

Throughout the evening, the content of the chat ranged from Buddhist bead bracelets, to rare stamps, to ancient springs, to porcelain calligraphy and painting, and Li Yan's professionalism and erudition in this regard surprised Zhou Zhenghuang.

"I didn't expect Mr. Li to have such a deep understanding of this industry at such a young age, I really lost my eyes."

Zhou Zhenghuang thought that Li Yan was just a rich man, and later thought he was an entrepreneurial elite, but now after chatting all night, Li Yan's research in literature and entertainment subverted his original impression and constantly surprised him.

Li Yan put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou has won the prize." This line of work is extremely deep, and without thirty or fifty years of experience, no one dares to say that it is an expert. I'm just scratching the surface. ”

Zhou Zhenghuang opened a leather bag beside him and took out a small invitation.

"It is a great honor to meet Mr. Li today. I have personally played with cultural relics all my life, and it is rare that Mr. Li is also so interested in cultural play, which is really fateful. It just so happens that I have an invitation here, which is the ticket to the first major auction of the year at Island Guardian Auction House. The theme of this auction is 'Night of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Treasures', which includes paintings by Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and others. If Mr. Li is interested, he can come to Hong Kong Island to have a look, and I can give me a chance to enjoy the friendship of landlords. ”

Li Yan took the exquisite invitation letter and briefly looked at the calligraphy treasures in it, but he was quite interested.

Recently, although he has not received many orders to go to the parallel earth, his understanding of that side has not been interrupted.

Since 7 or 8 years ago, the art market in the Chinese country of the earth has begun to show a hot trend, and the transaction of many lots with a price of more than 100 million yuan marks the official entry of Chinese calligraphy and painting into the era of 100 million yuan. In recent years, more than 100 million yuan of auctions have emerged in an endless stream, and the calligraphy and painting art market is booming.

The successful auction of sky-high calligraphy and painting auctions not only created a new world record for the sale of Chinese artworks, but also pushed the Chinese calligraphy and painting market to a newer height.

In particular, the financial turmoil that swept the world in the past few years has further contributed to the rise in art prices.

On the Azure Star side, although the culture, history, and customs are more than 9% similar to the earth, there are still some differences after all. And even these subtle differences can create a lot of money-making opportunities.

Especially in the art market, these differences often create some good opportunities for Li Yan to pick up some leaks.

After a little thought, he readily agreed to Zhou Zhenghuang's invitation.

Three days later, Li Yan drove the president of Maserati to Hong Kong Island.

He did not enter Hong Kong Island through the regular way, but drove a special car from all worlds, and simply and rudely crossed the local world. The main reason is that he may have to use the car at any time, and the Wanjie special car is not around, so everything is inconvenient.

Thanks to the power of the Wanjie system, after crossing, as long as you pay points to cover yourself, even the license plate and driver's license can be temporarily converted into Hong Kong Island license plates, and there is no sense of disobedience on the outside.

While driving and looking at the map, he drove to Alexandra Building, 88 Chater Road, Central, Hong Kong Island. This is the address indicated on the invitation letter, and it is also the location of the Jiade auction house.

Jiade Auction House is one of the world's leading art auction houses and is also regarded as one of the world's leaders in the auction industry. Founded in 1768, this long-established auction house has grown over 200 years to become a giant with an annual auction turnover of more than £3 billion worldwide. Currently, Guardian has offices in 90 major cities around the world, holding regular auctions in 16 locations around the world, as well as providing auction-related services, including art storage and security, education, art photo gallery and property.

Li Yan parked the car, followed the elevator to the 23rd floor, and came to the location of the auction house.

When he came to the door, Zhou Zhenghuang and Wen Jiayi were already waiting for him there. The two sides exchanged a few words of greetings and walked into the venue together.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Yan's eyes suddenly brightened. Jiade is worthy of being a giant of the auction house, and the auction hall in front of him is built with a spacious atmosphere, which has the feeling of an opera house.
