Chapter 90: The Cat Seller

There are indeed many money-making miracles in shopping malls, such as unfinished buildings.

But most of the time, there are no miracles, which means there are no good things that fall from the sky.

Lin Bufan suffered a loss in his previous life, and later warned himself that he must remain highly vigilant when pie falls in the sky.

Looking at the excited Zhang Yini, Lin Bufan asked calmly: "What project can get 200 million for nothing?"

Zhang Yini said that an old friend took her to the Overseas Chinese Hotel recently.

The Overseas Chinese Hotel is a 4-star hotel that is now on the market for 200 million.

At first, Zhang Yini thought it was foolish to spend 200 million to buy a bankrupt hotel.

But her old friend Fan Zhipeng mysteriously told her that the large landscape painting on the wall at the front entrance of the Overseas Chinese Hotel was painted by Zhang Daqian and had a market value of at least 200 million.

Zhang Yini went to the main entrance to look at the landscape painting with suspicion. The painting was indeed majestic, but it had no signature.

"Fan Zhipeng, the painting is indeed good, but without a signature it doesn't mean it was painted by Zhang Daqian," Zhang Yini said.

"Boss Zhang, you don't understand this. Although this painting is not signed, it was indeed written by Zhang Daqian. You can prove it by looking at the two lines of poetry inside the painting."

There are two lines of poems in the painting: Beautiful mountains and rivers, walking ghosts, gods, and everything in the world.

This painting was painted by Zhang Daqian at the opening of the Overseas Chinese Hotel. Zhang Daqian did not have a seal on him at that time, so he used a small poem instead.

This happened more than ten years ago, and many people have forgotten it.

But people who know painting can definitely see the value of painting.

"As long as we buy the Overseas Chinese Hotel, the painting will be ours. Is that 200 million won in vain?" Zhang Yini said excitedly, "If God wants you to make money, you can't stop it no matter what, hahahaha...

…”

Xu Da also felt that this was a profitable project.

"Does 200 million include all the items in the Overseas Chinese Hotel?" Lin Bufan asked.

"Well, everything, tables, stools, paintings..." Zhang Yini said, twirling her fingers.

"Xiao Lin, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pick something up." Xu Da became agitated.

"..." Lin Bufan felt that the matter was not that simple, "Don't the boss know that the painting was painted by Zhang Daqian? Didn't he say that Uncle Zhang was present at the opening of the Overseas Chinese Hotel? The boss should also be present."

"Xiao Lin, you don't know something. Overseas Chinese Hotel has already had three bosses, and this is the third boss!" Zhang Yini explained.

"Okay! Let's go see it together in two days."

As soon as Lin Bufan finished speaking, Zhang Yini's cell phone rang. It was Fan Zhipeng calling.

"Boss Zhang, the price for selling the Overseas Chinese Hotel has now increased to 220 million."

"Why did the price suddenly increase?" Zhang Yini asked anxiously.

"It seems that there are three companies competing now, so Overseas Chinese Hotel has raised the price in secret."

"Damn it, it was useless when no one cared about it. Now there are several companies that want to buy it and raise the price."

"What should I do now? Do you want to buy it or not?" Fan Zhipeng is a broker. If the transaction is successful, he will charge a fee.

"Buy, why don't you buy it." After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yini said, "Xiao Lin, why don't we go to the Overseas Chinese Hotel together."

"That's what I meant."

The group of people headed towards the Overseas Chinese Hotel.

After driving for fifteen minutes, we arrived at the Overseas Chinese Hotel. It was okay in terms of location, but in Lin Bufan's impression, the hotel eventually closed down. After the closure, it was demolished and built into a high-rise residential building.

The Overseas Chinese Hotel is no longer accepting guests, and many objects are covered with thin cloths.

At the entrance of the hall, Fan Zhipeng was already looking up, and when he saw Zhang Yini and his party, he ran up.

"Boss Zhang, you are here!"

"What's wrong?"

"I heard that a buyer is about to approach Boss Yu to discuss the acquisition of the Overseas Chinese Hotel," said Fan Zhipeng.

"Let's go look at the paintings first!" Lin Bufan said calmly.

Zhang Yini was anxious and wanted to talk to Boss Yu of the Overseas Chinese Hotel about the deal as soon as possible, but she still had to respect Lin Bufan's opinion.

Several people came to the hall. There was no one in the hall.

"That's the painting." Fan Zhipeng lowered his voice and said with alert eyes.

"Oh." Lin Bufan looked up. The painting was three meters long, magnificent and made of ink. As for whether it was Zhang Daqian's painting, Lin Bufan didn't know. He was not an appraiser of calligraphy and painting.

Ten minutes later, a group of people came in at the gate.

"Hey, isn't this Zhang Yini? Why do I meet you here!" A middle-aged woman wearing a hip-hugging skirt, sexy dress, and charming makeup walked over with a look of contempt on Zhang Yini.

"Do you know him?" Lin Bufan asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yini curled her lips and replied angrily: "Her name is Zhu Lanlan, she is my classmate in college."

Zhu Lanlan is an investment businessman and has made a lot of money over the years. She has known Zhang Yini since she was a student, but they just didn't get along.

As for why it was wrong, this matter is quite bloody. When I was in college, there was a boy who was in two different situations and dated Zhu Lanlan and Zhang Yini at the same time. After the incident was exposed, both Zhu Lanlan and Zhang Yini felt that the other party had ruined the relationship with their boyfriend.

Their relationship is a bit white, but they all think the other person is a mistress.

In the seventh year after Zhang Yini's marriage, her husband couldn't resist the seven-year itch and cheated on her.

By coincidence, the person he cheated on turned out to be Zhu Lanlan.

Zhang Yini called Zhu Lanlan a mistress. Zhu Lanlan said that she was the victim and that Zhang Yini's husband said that she was divorced.

Seeing Zhu Lanlan again, Zhang Yini felt unappetizing.

"You're here to buy the Overseas Chinese Hotel, right?" Zhu Lanlan was tanned and spoke in a sinister tone, "I won't let you succeed."

With that said, he headed upstairs to the office.

"This girl is quite hot!" Xu Da joked.

"I can't kill you!" Zhang Yini glared at Xu Da fiercely.

"Boss Zhang, we can't let this woman get there first. We should talk to Boss Yu as soon as possible." Fan Zhipeng said eagerly.

Zhang Yini looked at Lin Bufan, and Lin Bufan signaled to Zhang Yini not to worry.

Although Lin Bufan himself does not know how to appraise paintings, he knows experts who appraise calligraphy and paintings.

Lin Bufan took out his cell phone and wanted to call Liang Qian.

Before the call was finished, another group of people came through the door.

Lin Bufan glanced at it and hung up the phone. Among the people in the group was Liang Tingting.

Liang Tingting was wearing gray professional clothes and following a man who looked like a boss.

When she got closer, Liang Tingting also saw Lin Bufan.

This group of people walked under the painting and began to discuss business.

"Mr. Lu, how much can you pay for this acquisition at most..."

But Liang Tingting was looking at the paintings at this time.

It was obvious that 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 Pingmingju every day and was not a white-collar worker at all.

Wearing OL clothes now is just a way of hiding yourself from others, right?

Things were a bit strange, Lin Bufan squinted his eyes and held his chin in thought.

Will all buyers know that this painting is a painting by Zhang Daqian?

According to what Zhang Yini said, buying the Overseas Chinese Hotel means buying the entire hotel and all the items in the hotel.

But if the painting is calculated as other fixed assets, it will not be included in the column of hotel items. In other words, you spend money to buy the hotel, but you don’t get the painting in the end, because the painting is other fixed assets.

Items that do not belong to the hotel.

Lin Bufan suddenly thought of a story.

It is said that there is an old man who sells cats. His business is very good and he can sell 5.6 cats every day.

Someone curiously asked the old man what his secret was in selling cats. The old man pointed to the cat basin and said, "This basin is an antique. People who buy cats actually want to buy this basin."

People who buy cats are very discerning. When they see that the cat basin is an antique, they pretend to buy a cat. After buying the cat, they take the cat basin along with it.

The old man would stop me at this stage. He said, I am selling cats, why are you using the pot?

People who buy cats will say, what’s wrong if you give me a rotten basin?

The old man would smile and say, this is an antique and it is worth a lot of money.

Only those who buy cats will suddenly realize that the old man is not stupid, but himself.
