389 【Dazzling array】

After staying in the auction house for so long, Peter Chen is not the kind of person who easily trusts others.

So, after Song Zhichao said that there were 300 collections to be auctioned, Peter Chen's first reaction was to ask politely: "That's good, Mr. Song, you said you have artworks that you want to auction, so can you please help me take a look? If possible, I will help estimate the price and give you some small suggestions."

Peter Chen said it very tactfully, and his meaning was to "seeing is true, and hearing is false."

Song Zhichao's reaction was also very straightforward, "Okay - let's talk about it when we finish drinking this cup of coffee."

Then there is suffering.

Peter Chen has always enjoyed drinking coffee, but now he feels that drinking coffee is a waste of time.

After finally waiting for Song Zhichao to finish drinking the coffee in front of him, Peter Chen didn't care much about it. It was supposed to be Song Zhichao who paid the bill, but Peter Chen took the initiative to go to the bar to pay the bill, then turned around and couldn't wait to ask Song Zhichao, "Mr. Song, we can set off now, right?"

Song Zhichao made an invitation gesture, "It just so happened that my car was outside."

Peter Chen followed Song Zhi out of the cafe and saw a black Bentley sedan slowly coming in the drizzle.

When he arrived, the car door opened. The bald man had opened his umbrella again to welcome Song Zhichao into the car.

But Song Zhichao said politely: "Send Mr. Peter Chen into the car first."

Peter Chen was somewhat flattered and got under the umbrella, then got on the car, and in a moment, Song Zhichao followed him up.

There were four people sitting in a car, and it didn't seem crowded.

In the back row of the car, Song Zhichao ordered Niu Xiong who was driving, saying: "Go to our Wanda Warehouse!"

The car started, and under Peter Chan's hopeful gaze, it broke through the rain curtain and drove towards the Hong Kong New Territories.

...

Wei Ran stood in front of him.

As half a Hong Konger, Peter Chan never remembered that there was such a large private warehouse in Hong Kong.

The big red iron door was closed tightly. At Song Zhichao's instructions, Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong got out of the car first, and they didn't know who called. Then, the electronic control door slammed and slowly opened with a squeaking sound of pulley friction.

At this time, Song Zhichao got out of the car and politely invited Mr. Peter Chen to get off the car.

Peter Chen got off the car and looked around curiously, but found that this should be a relatively remote place in the New Territories, and there were such huge warehouses and factories around him. It may have been built when Hong Kong developed industry and manufacturing in the 1970s and 1980s. Now most of them have been abandoned, and many factories are even surrounded by large-scale demolition words. It can be seen that this place will be demolished and rebuilt soon.

Yes, Hong Kong has few land and many people. If land resources like this are not properly utilized, it will be a huge waste.

Before Peter Chen could wander around, Song Zhichao had already invited him to walk into the warehouse.

Peter Chen was not polite, and he would be at ease since he came. Although he still had some doubts about Song Zhichao's identity at this moment, after he observed it all the way, Song Zhichao was not like the kind of person who did evil, let alone kidnapping himself would be of no benefit.

As Song Zhichao walked into the warehouse together, Peter Chen found that there was a unique world here, and it was actually arranged in several storage areas in an orderly manner. When you look closely, it was clothing, canned food, wine and drinks... It was obvious that this was a grocery store.

At this time, Peter Chen suddenly seemed to remember something.

groceries?

Canned food, wine?

Although Peter Chan is in the auction business, the most lively Chas Group in Hong Kong has been controversial recently with another company for the Far East trading business.

Wanda Trading Company?

At this moment, Peter Chen finally remembered who this "Song Zhichao" was.

He looked at Song Zhichao carefully, and Peter Chen couldn't help but be surprised, surprised that the other party was so young.

At this moment, Song Zhichao suddenly turned around and said to him: "Mr. Chen, you will soon see the artworks I collected, and I hope they can satisfy you."

Only then did Peter Chen realize that he and Song Zhichao had arrived in front of a large container, which was assembled from several large containers, and the anti-theft system was designed ingeniously on the container. It was a bit inappropriate when you saw it, but Peter Chen knew that the more unconventional the design, the more advantageous it was in the anti-theft, because you didn't know how this kind of container was modified.

Sure enough, Song Zhichao winked at Jin Jiu, and Jin Jiu walked over, turned on the anti-theft system, entered the password, and seemed to be cautious in his movements.

Song Zhichao said to Peter Chen who was waiting next to him: "This kind of anti-theft system is the most advanced, with high voltage electricity, and can kill people if you are not careful."

Song Zhichao's lightness was clearly heard in Peter Chen's ears. How powerful this anti-theft system is, and then he knows how precious the collection stored there is.

This time it was a "bang".

Immediately, the door of the increased encrypted container suddenly opened.

Song Zhichao gracefully made an invitation to Peter Chen. Peter Chen hesitated for a moment before walking into the dark container.

As soon as Peter Chen stepped into the container, he heard a sound of lights.

Then the entire container lit up.

Peter Chen's eyes could not adapt to the light in front of him for a moment, so he covered his eyes with his hands and closed it slightly; when he put down his hands and opened his eyes again, he was stunned by the scene in front of him-

Various antique oil paintings are hung on the surrounding walls; various gold and silver utensils are placed on temporary shelves, shining; there are also large gilded vases over one person, antique swords and shields in the Russian style, as well as precious documents only available in the Russian palace, etc., which can be said to be dazzling and within reach...

Is that the sword of Peter the Great of Russia?

Is that the crown worn by Queen Caesarin of Russia?

And that oil painting, is it the legendary "People's Great's Sailing" created by the great Russian painter Surikov?

According to legend, Peter the Great was 2 meters tall and unified the Grand Duchy and moved the capital from Moscow to St. Petersburg. He wanted to get close to Europe. He studied and worshipped Europe, traveled around the countries, and was deeply loved by the people. He established the first fleet of the Russian Empire. After 29 years, he finally defeated the once prosperous Swedish navy. This painting is the flagship of Peter the Great.

If all this in front of him surprised Peter Chen, then another oil painting next to "Peter the Great's Sailing" shocked him even more, which was a "Self-portrait" by the great Russian painter Repin.

As a veteran working in an auction house, Peter Chen is very clear about the specific price of Repin's works. This painting alone is estimated to be worth millions.

"Oh, my God!" Peter Chen finally couldn't help but sighed.
