Chapter 430. Do you know how to read minds?
How to say that he is also a senior appraiser and auction consultant of New Century Company, although he is not in charge of external outreach, but Lin Yi still worries about it, and writes a letter to the collector on behalf of Haitang, explaining the situation of New Century Company, and requesting that he can continue to participate in the bidding of the collection.

After Lin Yi wrote this letter, in fact, he didn't have much confidence that the other party would accept it, after all, he was not a great person, not to mention that this was Taiwan, as an outsider, he was even more unfamiliar with life.
After Haitang knew about this, she was very moved, she knew that Lin Yi did this for her own good, but according to her experience, she didn't think that the big collector would give another chance, so Haitang continued to receive news from Tao Jing, hoping to impress the other party from other breakthroughs.
But, that's often how things go.
Three days later, New Century received a reply saying that the great collector wanted to meet them.
How so? Lin Yi even doubted whether he was a "magic pen Ma Liang", he really wrote what he wanted, and his wish could come true.
Haitang was even more surprised, and she even wondered if Lin Yi had done anything else besides writing letters.
……
On the same day, Lin Yi took Begonia and arrived on time according to the place where the collector dated.
This is a high-end residential area, as we all know, Taiwan is mountainous, and Taipei is no exception, so this residence is built on the top of the mountainside, and when you drive to the foot of the mountain, you need to walk for a while, the path is a very common stone road, next to the birds and flowers, and the creek meanders through, making people feel like going to the mountains to step on the green.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, I arrived in front of a villa, the voice-activated door opened, and Lin Yi and Haitang walked towards the villa under the leadership of the next person.
Walking in, Lin Yi found that although this villa was not as good as the mansion of the Lu family in Jinling, it was also exquisite and elegant, especially full of a mountain and forest charm.
The green vines are entangled, and the red bricks and green tiles are like ancient people hidden in the middle of the mountainside.
The person who led the way was called "Ah Ping", and Lin Yi called him Uncle Ping. Lin Yi is easy-going, and Uncle Ping is very talkative, so Lin Yi heard a lot of news from him. For example, this big collector used to come from the mainland, and in the Republic of China era, he belonged to the big people in Shanghai, and the family structure is relatively special, and it is called "Jianghu Family" to put it mildly, and if it is ugly, it is to run a partial door for a living--- there are many gangs in Taiwan that are very chaotic, Lin Yi knows that there are the Bamboo Union Gang, the Four Seas Gang, and the Justice League and so on.
Listening to Uncle Ping, this family seems to have something to do with the Bamboo Union Gang, as for what the relationship is, Uncle Ping said with a smile, you need to ask yourself, I have a lot of mouths, I can't say too much.
Lin Yi smiled, and asked again, then you can always tell me what the family's surname is, right?
Uncle Ping said, there is nothing to hide from this, our old lady's surname is Chen.
Surname Chen? Lin Yi's brain turned quickly, it seems that the boss of the Bamboo Union Gang is named Chen Qili, is it also related to this family?
And this Chen Qili also has a star son, who seems to be called "Chen Chuhe", and is also a very individual character, after the death of his father Chen Qili, he signed to renounce the right to inherit the estate, he said, "I believe that with only the thoughts and words left by my father, I can create everything I want." ”
Therefore, it can be said that the name of the "Chen family" in Taiwan is very big, which can't help but make Lin Yi think.
……
Just when Lin Yi was distracted, Haitang touched him with his arm to remind him that he had arrived.
Lin Yi came back to his senses and found that he and Begonia had already been in front of a hall full of books and simplicity, and in front of the main hall, there was a plaque hanging that read: One family from all over the world.
On both sides of the hall, there are bonsai and feng shui fish, which are particularly elegant.
Just as Lin Yi was looking around, Uncle Ping walked over with a smile and said something to the people in the back room through the door, and then turned around and said to Lin Yi very politely, "The old lady invites you in." ”
Lin Yi thanked him, walked into the inner room with Haitang, and entered the house, only to find that there was a hole in it, it was like an ancient study, surrounded by mahogany bookshelves, and various ancient books were placed on the shelves.
On one side of the study, there was a soft slump that lay diagonally, and it seemed that someone was lying on it, because it was separated by a curtain, and it was not really visible.
Lin Yi didn't know what kind of mystery this master was playing, and he hung the curtains, thinking that he was a beauty.
An old slurred voice said, "Here you are." ”
Although old and vague, he is very powerful.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, my name is Lin Yi, her name is Haitang, I wrote a letter, you are Mrs. Chen, right?" ”
The old man seemed to smile, and his voice was still very vague: "Yes, I am ---"
"Since the old lady is willing to see us, does it mean that our company still has a chance to participate in the auction?" Lin Yi was straightforward and no longer detoured.
"Huh." The old man behind the curtain seemed to smile and said, "After reading your letter, I am not interested in your company, but in you. ”
"What?" Lin Yi didn't hear clearly.
The old man said again: "Are you called Lin Yi?" ”
"Yes, didn't I just say it, my name is Lin Yi, and I am a senior appraiser and auction consultant of New World Company." Lin Yi repeated his identity again.
"That's right. You've only been here from the mainland for a few days, haven't you? The old man said vaguely, "The Miss Begonia next to you should be your sweetheart, and her father is Hong Kong's invisible rich Hai Baichuan, I'm not wrong about this?" ”
Lin Yi glanced at the begonia, and the two nodded.
"Lin Yi, I've heard about you. Although you are young, you are a well-known six-grade collector, and you also have a lot of good books in your hands, see how I am here? ”
Lin Yi didn't understand what Old Lady Chen was talking about, but he still walked over, looked at it casually and said: "Most of them are ancient books of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and several of them belong to rare books, especially the "Zhaoming Anthology", if I guess correctly, it should be the annotated book of Li Shanzhi engraved by You Yuan during the Chunxi period of Xiaozong Chunxi of the Southern Song Dynasty, commonly known as --- 'You Yuan Engraved Book', which is very good." ”
"Hehe, many people are very envious when they see my collections, especially the millions of You Yuan engraved book "Zhaoming Anthology", which is even more respected, but you just came to a 'very good', it can be seen that you have a better collection in your hand, these are not in your eyes."
Lin Yi hurriedly said: "You can't say that, although the younger generations have some collections, but the ancient books have their own good collections, and the younger generations never dare to be proud." ”
"Don't dare to be proud? But your name has spread from Hong Kong and the mainland to Taiwan, and you have this kind of capital that you can be proud of. The vague words continued. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of stubborn old man, young people, you should be sharper, didn't your domestic Taizu say, young people should be the sun at eight or nine o'clock, and they should shine on the earth---"
Hearing what Old Lady Chen said, Lin Yi was a little puzzled about what the other party wanted to do.
"Are you guessing what I'm trying to do right now?" The old man asked suddenly.
Lin Yi was taken aback, how could he know what he was saying in his heart?
Haitang glanced at him and said instead of Lin Yi: "Yes, we thought you were going to promise us to continue to participate in the auction of the collection." ”
"Hehe, the girl has a lot of eyes--- don't worry, since I called you here, I won't let you suffer, and you can participate in the auction...... I am also clear about the grievances between Christie's, to which Huang Kun belongs, and your new century......"
Begonia muttered in her heart, since you know that you are still fooled, listen to the old fox's words.
"Are you thinking about how I can be so stupid, since I know that the other party is playing tricks, and I am still at his mercy?"
Haitang was also surprised, and looked at Lin Yi, meaning that this old man really knows how to read minds?
"Okay, you two don't send small telegrams anymore, you look at me, I look at you, tired or not. To be honest, last time I turned you away, and this time I invited you again, there is only one reason--- Aping, lift the curtain! ”
With the order of Old Lady Chen, Uncle Ping, who was waiting on the side, respectfully lifted the curtain with his hand.
Lin Yi and Haitang couldn't help but look at the mysterious old lady, it was okay not to look at it, but this look was shocking---
I saw that the old lady was gray-haired and looked very energetic, but ...... His mouth turned out to be crooked!
Crooked-mouthed old lady?! (To be continued.) )
