Chapter 90: The Cat Seller
There are indeed many money-making miracles in the mall, such as unfinished buildings.
But most of the time, there are no miracles, that is, there are no pie-in-the-sky good things.
In the previous life, Lin Bufan suffered a loss, and later warned himself that when pies fell in the sky, he must be highly vigilant.
Looking at the excited Zhang Yini, Lin Bufan calmly asked: "What project can pick up 200 million for nothing?" ”
Zhang Yini said that an old friend recently took her to the Overseas Chinese Hotel.
The Overseas Chinese Hotel is a 4-star hotel that is now on sale for 200 million.
At first, Zhang Yini felt that buying a closed hotel for 200 million was a fool's errand.
But Fan Zhipeng, an old friend, mysteriously told her that the large-scale landscape painting on the wall at the main entrance of the Overseas Chinese Hotel was made by Zhang Daqian, and the market value was at least 200 million.
Zhang Yini went to the main entrance suspiciously to look at the landscape painting, the painting was indeed very majestic, but it was not signed.
"Fan Zhipeng, the painting is indeed good, but the fact that there is no payment does not mean that it is from Zhang Daqian's hand." Zhang Yini said.
"Boss Zhang, you don't understand this, although this painting is not signed, but it is indeed from Zhang Daqian's hand, you can prove it by looking at the two lines of poems in the painting."
There are two lines of small poems in the painting: the mountains and rivers are beautiful and handsome, and the world is full of things.
This painting was painted by Zhang Daqian at the opening of the Overseas Chinese Hotel, and Zhang Daqian did not have a seal on his body at that time, so he replaced it with a small poem.
This was more than a decade ago, and many people have forgotten about it.
But those who know how to draw can definitely see the value of painting.
"As long as we buy the Overseas Chinese Hotel, the painting will be ours at that time, is that 200 million for nothing?" Zhang Yini said excitedly, "God wants you to make money, you can't stop it, hahahaha......"
Xu Da also feels that this is a money-making project.
"Does 200 million include all the items in the Overseas Chinese Hotel?" Lin Bufan asked.
"Well, all of them, the tables and stools, the paintings......" Zhang Yini said, wrenching his fingers.
"Xiaolin, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pick up the leak." Xu Da was in a commotion.
"......" Lin Bufan felt that things were not so simple, "Doesn't the boss know that the painting was painted by Zhang Daqian?" Didn't you say that Uncle Zhang was present about the opening of the Overseas Chinese Hotel? The boss should be there, too. ”
"Xiaolin, you don't know, the Overseas Chinese Hotel has already experienced three bosses, and this is the third boss!" Zhang Yini explained.
"Alright! Let's go and see it in two days. ”
As soon as Lin Bufan's words were finished, Zhang Yini's mobile phone rang, and it was Fan Zhipeng calling.
"Boss Zhang, now the price of the Overseas Chinese Hotel has increased to 220 million."
"Why is the price suddenly rising?" Zhang Yini asked anxiously.
"It seems that there are three companies competing now, so the overseas Chinese hotel has secretly raised the price."
"Rub, it's not a fart when no one cares, and now there are a few more companies that want to buy and raise the price."
"What now, do you buy it or not?" Fan Zhipeng is a broker, and if the deal is successful, he will have to charge.
"Buy, why not." After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yini said, "Xiaolin, why don't you go to the Overseas Chinese Hotel together." ”
"That's exactly what I mean."
The group headed towards the Overseas Chinese Hotel.
After driving for fifteen minutes, I arrived at the Overseas Chinese Hotel, which is okay in terms of geographical location, but in Lin Bufan's impression, this hotel finally closed down, and after the closure, it was directly demolished and built a high-rise residence.
The Overseas Chinese Hotel is no longer open to guests, and many items are covered with thin cloths.
At the door of the hall, Fan Zhipeng was already looking forward to it, and after seeing Zhang Yini and his party, he ran up.
"Boss Zhang, you're here!"
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that a buyer is going to talk to Boss Yu about the acquisition of the Overseas Chinese Hotel." Fan Zhipeng said.
"Let's go see the painting first!" Lin Bufan said lightly.
Zhang Yini was anxious and wanted to talk to Boss Yu of the Overseas Chinese Hotel about this deal as soon as possible, but he still had to respect Lin Bufan's opinion.
Several people came to the hall. The hall was empty.
"It's the painting." Fan Zhipeng suppressed his voice and said vigilantly
"Oh." Lin Bufan looked up, this painting is three meters long, magnificent, open and close with ink, as for whether it is Zhang Daqian's painting or not. Lin Bufan didn't know that he was not a calligraphy and painting appraiser.
Ten minutes later, a group of people came in at the gate.
"Yo, isn't this Zhang Yini, how can I meet you here!" A middle-aged woman wearing a hip-wrapping skirt, sexy dress, and charming makeup walked over with a sneer, and she looked contemptuous of Zhang Yini.
"You know?" Lin Bufan asked in a low voice.
Zhang Yini pursed her lips and replied angrily: "Her name is Zhu Lanlan, and she is my college classmate. ”
Zhu Lanlan is an investment businessman, and she has made a lot of money over the years, she has known Zhang Yini since she was a student, but the two of them are not on the right path.
As for why it's not the right way, this thing is more bloody, when I was in college, there was a boy who stepped on two boats and dated Zhu Lanlan and Zhang Yini at the same time, after the incident was exposed, Zhu Lanlan and Zhang Yini both felt that the other party had destroyed the relationship between them and their boyfriends, and they both felt that the other party was a junior.
In the seventh year after Zhang Yini's marriage, her husband couldn't hold back the seven-year itch and cheated.
Coincidentally, the object of the derailment turned out to be Zhu Lanlan.
Zhang Yini scolded Zhu Lanlan for being a junior, Zhu Lanlan said that she was the victim, and said that Zhang Yini's husband said that she was divorced.
Seeing Zhu Lanlan again, Zhang Yini felt unappetizing.
"Aren't you here to buy the Overseas Chinese Hotel?" Zhu Lanlan was tanned, and her speech was yin and yang, "I won't let you succeed." ”
As he spoke, he headed upstairs to his office.
"This girl is very spicy!" Xu Da quipped.
"Spicy doesn't kill you!" Zhang Yini glared at Xu Da fiercely.
"Boss Zhang, we can't let this woman take the lead, let's talk to Boss Yu as soon as possible." Fan Zhipeng said eagerly.
Zhang Yini's eyes looked at Lin Bufan, and Lin Bufan signaled Zhang Yini not to be anxious.
Although Lin Bufan himself does not know how to appraise paintings, he knows experts in calligraphy and painting.
Lin Bufan took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Liang Qian.
Before the phone was finished, another group of people came in at the door.
Lin Bufan glanced at it, then hung up the phone, and there was Liang Tingting in that group.
Liang Tingting was wearing gray professional clothes and followed behind a man who looked like a boss.
When she approached, Liang Tingting also saw Lin Bufan.
The group went under the painting and began to talk about buying and selling.
"Mr. Lu, how much ...... can you give for this acquisition?"
And Liang Tingting was looking at the painting at this time.
Obviously, this group of people deliberately walked under the painting, and then Liang Tingting pretended to wait and looked at the painting casually.
Lin Bufan remembered that Liang Tingting hosted the tea house every day, and she was not a white-collar worker at all.
Now wearing an OL outfit is also a cover-up!
Things are a little strange, Lin Bufan squinted his eyes and thought about it.
Will all buyers know that this painting is a painting by Zhang Daqian?
According to Zhang Yini, buying the Overseas Chinese Hotel is to buy the entire hotel and all the items in the hotel.
However, if the painting is calculated according to other fixed assets, it will not be included in the column of hotel items. That is to say, you spend money to buy a restaurant, but in the end you can't get the painting, because the painting is other fixed assets, not an item that belongs to the hotel.
Lin Bufan suddenly thought of a story.
It is said that there is an old man who sells cats, and his business is very good, and he can sell 5.6 cats every day.
Someone curiously asked the old man where the trick of selling cats was, and the old man pointed to the cat basin and said, "This pot is an antique, and those who buy cats actually want to buy this pot." ”
People who buy cats have eye-catching skills, and when they see that the cat basin is an antique, they pretend to buy a cat, and after buying the cat, they take the cat basin by the way.
The old man will stop it when he arrives at this link, he said, Lao Tzu is selling cats, why are you taking the pot?
People who buy cats will say, what's wrong with a rotten pot for me?
The old man would smile and say, "It's an antique, and it's worth a lot."
The person who buys the cat will suddenly realize that the old man is not stupid, but he is stupid.
Lin Bufan pulled out the stool, patted off the dust and sat down, he looked upstairs and smiled: "I'm afraid this boss Yu is a cat seller." ”
