Chapter 146: Chu Chen? (4th Watch)
After all, Zhong Guanghui is a billionaire, and the gift he gives should not be simple.
Thinking about it, Chu Chen took out the gift from Zhong Guanghui from the car.
This is a long brocade box, beautifully packaged, just the outside of this brocade box, I am afraid it can be sold for hundreds of thousands.
Chu Chen opened the brocade box, saw the contents inside, and nodded slightly, which was similar to what he guessed.
It should be a calligraphy and painting.
Looking at the yellowed frame, this should be hundreds of years old.
Gently opened, it turned out to be a painting.
The painting is bamboo, with an inscription next to it.
"Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Map?"
Chu Chen muttered, it turned out that the name of this ancient painting was "Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Map".
Looking down, Chu Chen was even more stunned when he found the name of the person who painted it.
"Zheng Banqiao, this is actually Zheng Banqiao's "Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Map"?"
"This painting is actually 300 years old. Chu Chen said with emotion.
According to Chu Chen, at a large auction before, Zheng Banqiao's "Autumn Wind Standing Picture" was sold for 13.8 million.
Chu Chen estimated that the price of his "Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Map" should also be around 15 million.
"Coincidentally, I took it as a gift. β
Chu Chen's grandmother and grandfather lived in the East China Sea, and when they came to the East China Sea, Chu Chen naturally wanted to visit the two old people.
My grandfather likes antique calligraphy and painting, so I went by myself and happened to take this "Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Map" as a gift.
The next day, Chu Chen drove to the community where his grandparents were.
Taking the "Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Map", Chu Chen walked upstairs.
Knocking on the door and entering, looking at the room of people, Chu Chen was a little stunned.
Why are there so many people today?
"Second uncle, third uncle......"
Chu Chen called them one by one, and finally came to his grandparents.
"Xiaochen is here. β
Grandma was very excited, she hadn't seen Chu Chen for a long time.
Grandpa also came over happily.
When Chu Chen asked, he learned that today's cousin of Chu Chen's second uncle's family, Tang Shizhen, was going to bring her boyfriend.
It is said that Tang Shizhen's boyfriend graduated from a prestigious university, is young and promising, and has become a department manager in his twenties, with a monthly salary of 80,000 or 90,000 yuan.
Out of curiosity, most of the relatives came to see what Tang Shizhen's boyfriend looked like.
"Grandpa, grandma, I brought you a gift. β
As he spoke, Chu Chen took out the "Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Map".
"Xiaochen, come here, what kind of gift will you get. "Grandma was a little unhappy.
Chu Chen slowly opened the "Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Map", and other relatives also looked here.
"Zheng Banqiao?"
When my grandfather saw the inscription of this painting, he was extremely surprised.
Is this a painting by Zheng Banqiao?
All the relatives were equally surprised.
Although they have never seen Zheng Banqiao's paintings, they have all heard of them.
It is said that any painting of Zheng Banqiao will cost millions or tens of millions.
The situation of Chu Chen's family is known to most of them, and it is almost the poorest one among them.
Now, how could Chu Chen casually give millions of gifts?
"Xiaochen, how much does this painting cost?"
"I guess it's 15 million. β
15 million ......!
Everyone gasped.
Oh my God, this is a amount of money they never dared to imagine in their lifetime!
"Xiaochen, why do you have so much money to buy it?"
Grandma asked worriedly.
"Grandma, I didn't buy this "Autumn Wind Bamboo and Stone Picture", it was given to me by a friend. β
Chu Chen told the truth.
Sent by a friend?
What friends can send 15 million things.
I want such a friend, too, give me a bunch!
"This painting must be fake!"
At this time, Chu Chen's second aunt spoke, extremely convinced.
"Mother is right, it must be fake. β
Cousin Tang Shizhen echoed.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
That's right, just now they were all bluffed by "Zheng Banqiao" and "15 million".
After thinking about it, can Chu Chen, or Chu Chen's family have so much money?
And Chu Chen said that this painting was given by a friend, who believes it!
How come they don't have such friends?
"Xiao Chu, it's all your own family, why bother in order to show yourself?"
Chu Chen's fifth aunt also spoke.
"I don't think this painting is fake. β
My grandfather has been collecting these antiques and calligraphy for some years, and he has some experience in identification.
"Dad, you must be an old eye...... Misread. β
As soon as my grandfather finished speaking, the second aunt spoke directly, originally she wanted to say "old eyes are dizzy", but she felt that something was not appropriate, so she changed it to a mistake.
"Grandpa, this is a 15 million painting, can Chu Chen afford it?"
Cousin Tang Shizhen also spoke.
Chu Chen has not had a good relationship with this cousin since he was a child.
"I think this painting is real, it's so good. β
At the scene, except for his grandparents and grandparents, only his cousin Tang Miaomiao, who had been learning to paint since childhood, opened his mouth to support Chu Chen.
"Miaomiao, you are so naΓ―ve. β
Tang Shizhen shook her head.
Tang Miaomiao wanted to refute, but then her grandmother spoke:
"I don't care if it's real or fake, as long as it's sent by Xiaochen, it's the best. β
"Yes, I'm going to hang the picture up. β
As he spoke, my grandfather carefully hung up the painting.
Listening to the words of these relatives, Chu Chen didn't bother to explain.
The painting came to an end, Chu Chen chatted with his cousin, and the others also chatted separately.
Tang Shizhen received a message.
"In ten minutes, Kangsheng is coming. β
Tang Shizhen was very happy to announce it to everyone.
"Is Shizhen's boyfriend coming?"
"So fast?"
"Shizhen, I heard that your boyfriend is a manager in a big company, is it true?"
Chu Chen's fifth aunt couldn't help but ask.
"It's not a big company, it's just Anyuan Group, and the monthly salary is not much, only 100,000. β
Hearing this, Chu Chen's second aunt spoke, looking ostentatious.
"What, Anyuan Group, that's a 10 billion group, this is not a big company?"
"The monthly salary of 100,000 yuan is already a lot, and the second sister-in-law's requirements are still too high. β
"Shizhen has found a boyfriend. β
Other relatives said enviously.
Hearing these words, the second aunt and Tang Shizhen both showed a faint smile on their faces, although they didn't say anything, but their hearts bloomed happily.
"Xiaochen, you will learn from this brother-in-law of yours in the future!"
The second aunt opened her mouth and educated Chu Chen.
"Yes, Xiaochen, in the future, you can have one-tenth of your future brother-in-law, and your parents will be very happy. β
Chu Chen's fifth aunt also chimed in.
"Chu Chen, he'll forget it, right?"
Tang Shizhen sneered, very disdainful of Chu Chen.
Tang Miaomiao, a cousin who has always admired Chu Chen, wants to speak for Chu Chen.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
opened the door, and a handsome young man walked in, it was Tang Shizhen's boyfriend Gu Shengkang.
After seeing Gu Shengkang, these relatives walked up one after another and greeted them very warmly.
Gu Shengkang responded one by one.
Suddenly, Gu Shengkang inadvertently noticed Chu Chen, who was sitting there chatting with Tang Miaomiao, and his face changed dramatically in an instant.
Why is Mr. Chu here?!
