"A stone lion is a stone lion. No matter how long and ancient it is, its essence is to guard the house. If you put it here, it can be put to its best use. Anyway, each one weighs a thousand pounds, and you are not afraid of being stolen." Hu Taidou laughed loudly.
smiled.
After speaking, Hu Taidou looked at Huo Huanyu, who was following Li Jin with an expressionless face.
"Boy Huo, do you still remember me?" Hu Taidou asked with a smile.
Huo Huanyu did not act impudently in front of this 80-year-old man. After all, he came from the Huo family. No matter what, as a junior, he still had a certain attitude towards his elders.
"Hello Mr. Hu, I forgot about it a long time ago."
Hu Taidou laughed and said: "I must have forgotten that the last time I saw you, you were holding me in my arms. Is your grandpa in good health?"
Huo Huanyu nodded and said: "Excuse me, Mr. Hu. My grandfather is in good health. He is just talking about old friends from his youth whom we haven't seen for a long time and when we want to get together."
"Goodbye, goodbye." Hu Taidou waved his hand, "Your grandpa is too powerful. I still owe him a favor, so I'd better not see him again."
After chatting, Hu Taidou led the two of them into the courtyard and went directly into Hu Taidou's study without going anywhere else.
The study room is not small. It is more like a library than a study room. Except for a large desk made of antique rosewood, the rest are almost all rows of bookshelves.
Modern books, ancient books, and even thread-bound books filled the room with the unique scent of paper and ink.
If nothing else, just from this room of books, you can tell that Hu Taidou is indeed different from ordinary people.
Li Jin looked up and saw the couplet hanging behind the desk in the study.
"Feng Yun has three feet of sword, flowers and birds have a bed of books."
“Good couplet.”
Hearing Li Jin's praise, Hu Taidou asked with a smile: "Do you know the source?"
"It was written by Zuo Guangdou, the loyal and righteous Duke in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. He has a thunderous but calm demeanor in his idleness, which is quite a bit like seeing the clouds and floating dogs standing still. I am very impressed."
Li Jin was a little lucky.
Before he was reborn in his previous life, one of his big clients liked this couplet the most. He once spent 6 million to bid for Zuo Guangdou's original work but unfortunately failed. At that time, the 6 million was transferred from the stock account Li Jin managed for him, so Li Jin
Very impressive.
If it hadn't been for a coincidence, it would have been really embarrassing.
Hu Taidou had a real smile on his face and said: "Yes, this couplet is the one hanging in Zuo Guangdou's study. There are thousands of couplets, and there are many absolutely wonderful pairs that make people marvel, but I
But I like this couplet the most.”
Li Jin took a look at the couplet and felt a little strange.
If the one in Hu Taidou's study is authentic, then what did he auction for a big client in the auction house in his previous life?
Although in terms of time span, there are still six or seven years to work, but looking at Hu Taidou's family property, no matter how much he spends it, it is impossible for him to be reduced to the point of auctioning the family property in these six or seven years.
It can only be said to be an unsolved case.
After chatting, he sat down on the Taishi chair and asked Li Jin and Huo Huanyu to sit opposite each other. Hu Taidou spoke.
"I already know your purpose of coming."
Hu Taidou's first sentence was to get straight to the point.
"In principle, I agree to support you. After all, this is a big matter of right and wrong. On this, any personal thoughts must be put aside. I am aware of this."
Li Jin nodded and said: "Mr. Hu is so righteous and the younger generation admires him."
Hu Taidou gave Li Jin a meaningful look, and said with a half-smile: "Little fox, don't be too busy putting a hat on my old man, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Li Jin smiled and picked up the cup of Dahongpao in front of him and took a sip.
This means that Hu Taidou can continue talking.
Hu Taidou's snow-white eyebrows trembled, he rubbed the jade ring on his thumb, and said slowly: "I can give you 2 billion US dollars."
