While talking, Mr. He walked to the calligraphy and painting area.
Pointing to the scrolls of calligraphy and painting inside, he introduced:
"There are calligraphy by Zhao Mengfu and paintings by Mi Fu and Zhu Da. These things may not have been valuable twenty years ago. But now, each one costs more than one million, and some even cost more than one million. Nearly ten million..."
When Mr. He said these words, he kept looking at me.
"My uncle won all this in Tianjin back then?"
I asked.
Mr. He nodded.
"Yes, he won it all! At that time, he was wandering all over the world. It was not convenient to carry these things with him. He knew that I knew about antiques, so he asked me to take care of them. What he said was that he would come back to deal with them in a few years. But later, something happened to him in Yundian. When I saw him the next day, I also asked what to do with these things. He told me that someone would come to deal with this batch of things in the future. It’s been more than ten years…”
As he said that, Mr. He looked at me and continued:
"When you first came to me, I thought you were the one to deal with this batch of things. But later I discovered that you didn't even know that this batch of things existed. So, I could only continue to wait... "
Mr. He's words moved my heart.
Since my father can tell me, there will be someone dedicated to deal with these things.
Then this person must be someone he trusts very much.
If this person could be found, perhaps everything that happened that year would be known.
It's a pity that Mr. He doesn't have any information about this person.
After coming out of the side room, I chatted with Mr. He for a while and was about to get up and say goodbye.
Suddenly, the store manager walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he said directly to Mr. He:
"Master He, Zou Tiansheng, the helmsman of the Zou family in Habei, has come to pay homage to the dock. He hopes you can meet him..."
I was shocked when I heard it.
I never expected that the big boss would actually come to Jinmen.
Unexpectedly, he would actually come to visit He Songbai.
The so-called dock worship was a common practice among Jianghu people in the past.
Generally, when a reputable person arrives in a certain place, he will visit the local bosses in the same field.
I immediately stood up and said directly:
"Master He, Zou Tiansheng and I have some small differences. It's not good to meet here. I'd better avoid it..."
He Songbai nodded slightly, pointed to the room behind and said:
"Okay, you can stay in the inner room!"
Then he said to the manager:
"Bring him here!"
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Then, a familiar voice rang.
"Master He, I'm sorry to bother you. When my father was still alive, he often mentioned you. This time when I came to Tianjin, I came to visit you specially. I hope I didn't disturb you!"
He Songbai exchanged a few pleasantries.
After the two chatted for a while, Zou Tiansheng suddenly said:
"Congratulations, I am here to visit you in Tianjin. Actually, I have something else I want to ask you..."
"you say!"
"Although Mr. He has withdrawn from Landao, you still need to say hello to Mr. He about Landao in Jinmen. That's it. Our Zou family wants to invest in Jinmen and open two small places. I don't know what Mr. He can do. You can’t give me any advice…”
My heart was shocked when I heard it.
Unexpectedly, Zou Tiansheng had a big appetite and had just taken charge of the Zou family.
I just want to open the venue to Tianjin.
And what he said about giving advice was actually just a polite way of saying hello to He Songbai.
I heard Wang Zhidao say before that there has never been a decent big venue in Jinmen.
Many people have taken a fancy to Jinmen, a piece of fat, and want to invest in Jinmen as a shady business.
Zou Tiansheng's movements were quite fast.
He Songbai answered directly:
"Since I have withdrawn from Landao, I will definitely not interfere with Landao's affairs anymore. If Boss Zou wants to invest, then that's the investment. Don't care about my opinion..."
Zou Tiansheng immediately said:
"With Mr. He's words, I feel at ease. I will have to trouble Mr. He in the future. I know you are busy, Mr. He, so I won't bother you more!"
With that said, Zou Tiansheng stood up and left.
After he walked out the door, I walked out of the inner room.
Mr. He looked at me, smiled lightly and asked:
"How come you and the boss of the Zou family still have a holiday?"
I briefly talked to Mr. He about what happened in Habei.
After hearing this, Master He said directly:
"You and your uncle are quite different in this respect!"
oh?
I looked at Mr. He a little strangely.
Mr. He smiled slightly and said:
"If this happened to your uncle, Zou Tiansheng would not be able to open a business in Jinmen. Moreover, your uncle would not let him live in peace in Harbei!"
As he said that, Mr. He glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.
Mr. He's words made my heart tremble.
My father enjoys grudges.
But I have an indifferent personality and like to stay out of things.
It seems that I should make some changes.
After getting up to say goodbye, He Songbai walked me to the door.
He patted my arm and said:
"You don't have to be timid when doing things in Jinmen. If you have anything, you can always come to me!"
I know that He Songbai is hinting at me.
When I went back to the hotel, I didn’t wait to go upstairs.
Zhou Lin's call came again.
As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard Zhou Lin say directly:
"Boss Chu, I'm at the hotel where you're staying right now. I've booked a room and a few friends have arrived. Shall we start?"
After losing money yesterday, Zhou Lin never gave up.
I don’t know how he found Huang Ze and wanted to take Qian Qian back.
Originally, I had no intention of continuing to bet with him.
But now that he has come to the door, it seems that this game is no longer possible without gambling.
After asking him for his room number, I notified Mr. Hong and went directly to Zhou Lin's room.
Zhou Lin opened a suite.
As soon as we walked in, he politely invited us to the living room.
As he walked, he said:
"The bosses today are all wealthy owners. And the fellow from Habei I told you about is an absolute beauty!"
While we were talking, we had already arrived in the living room.
I saw three people, two men and one woman, sitting on the sofa.
