"Liu Dong, you'd better think more carefully. After all, the amount of funds involved is not a small amount. It can cost tens of millions at least, and it's not uncommon to see hundreds of millions at most...!"
"Don't worry, Brother Zhu! I know it well! As for the money, don't worry about it! Well, let's wait until we meet Mr. Zhu tomorrow to talk about the specific matters. Now let's go to the hotel to stay!" He waved his hand to interrupt Zhu Jun's words.
, Liu Dongdao.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhu Jun didn't hesitate anymore, but when Liu Dong was about to turn around, he suddenly took his arm and said sincerely: "Liu Dong, no matter whether this matter is successful or not, I will thank you!
"
Looking at Zhu Jun who spoke sincerely, Liu Dong smiled and nodded to him, without saying anything else. At this time, it seemed that all words were superfluous! Only action is the best expression.
After asking Zhu Jun to stop, Liu Dong set a time for his next visit, then drove out of the community alone, and then found a high-end hotel nearby and stayed.
After a night's rest and breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Liu Dong was ready to go shopping at the 'Hangzhou Collection Market' on Hushu South Road, the largest antique street in Hangzhou!
Whenever he visits a new place, going to the antique market when he has nothing to do has almost become Liu Dong's deep-rooted habit.
It's the same this time, because the second visit to Zhu's family has been rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Liu Dong, who has a free day, is going to go shopping in the antique street in Hangzhou. Originally, Zhu Jun was coming to be a tour guide.
But Liu Dong declined because he hadn't seen his father and son for a long time.
Moreover, Mr. Zhu still needs to prepare the details of the contract with him. It will be faster if Zhu Jun is here to help!
"Director Liu...?"
Just as Liu Dong finished his breakfast and was about to leave the restaurant, a baritone sounded tentatively from behind him.
"Director Liu, is it really you?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in a straight suit who came over quickly with a look of surprise on his face, Liu Dong asked doubtfully: "Do we know each other?"
"Director Liu, my name is Xiao Fanbin, and I am the manager of the East China region of Puhua Red Star Auction House. I met you at the company's annual meeting last year!" the middle-aged man said quickly and respectfully.
"Oh, I remembered it!" Liu Dong nodded suddenly.
Now he has dozens of companies, with even more people in charge in each region. If Xiao Fanbin hadn't told him, Liu Dong would have only looked familiar to him and couldn't even remember who he was!
"Are you here on a business trip?" Liu Dongxiao asked after a brief look, followed by several entourages in suits and leather shoes who came behind Xiao Fanbin.pbtt.
"Yes, Liu Dong! The company has just received a big business deal and the employer needs an interview. So we came here in person!" Xiao Fanbin said respectfully.
"Big business?" Liu Dong became interested.
Xiao Fanbin, who is good at observing words and expressions, hurriedly said: "Yes, Director Liu! This time, Chen Yunfeng, a well-known local wealthy collector in Hangzhou, hopes to sell a batch of his collection through our auction house!"
"Chen Yunfeng!"
The name Liu Dong is not unfamiliar, and of course it cannot be said to be familiar! However, the other party is indeed a well-known collector in Su Province, especially in Hangzhou!
However, the reason why Liu Dong knew this name was not because of how many priceless antiques this person had collected, but because he had a large number of Qingtian rough stones in his hands!
Qingtian stone is produced in Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province, with cyan as the main color. Together with chicken blood stone, Shoushan stone and Balin stone, it is known as the four major national stones. It has always been known as the gentleman among stones! It is a seal carving favored by refined people, calligraphers and painters.
Especially among the Qingtian stones, the top, light-frozen, closed-door blue and orchid green are rare in quantity and highly valuable, but they are good things that even Liu Dong covets.
Chen Yunfeng was born in Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province. Due to the advantage of "first come first served", he has accumulated a large number of precious Qingtian stones in his hands for more than ten years! Of course, he has also accumulated an amazing amount of wealth because of Qingtian stones.
In terms of reputation, Chen Yunfeng’s reputation in the collecting world is far worse than his reputation in the business and seal cutting circles!
"When are you going to go there?" Liu Dong said after thinking for a while.
"The time we agreed to meet is at 9:30 in the morning. We are just about to go there after breakfast!" Xiao Fanbin said quickly.
"Do you mind adding me?" Liu Dong smiled.
"Of course I don't mind. It's our East China Branch's honor to have Director Liu come over!" After a moment of surprise, Xiao Fanbin immediately said with joy on his face.
"Okay, you eat first! When you're done eating, we'll walk together!"
"Dr. Liu, why don't you also eat with us?"
"Okay. It just so happens that I wasn't very full just now!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Of course, eating is secondary. The more important thing is that Liu Dong is also going to take the opportunity to have a meal to chat with his employees! Quan is doing grassroots research!
However, although Liu Dong is young and easy-going, his identity is different after all! With him present, the auction house employees around him were not to say silent, but they were very reserved. Even if Liu Dong deliberately made jokes, there were few people who responded.
, for fear that he would say something wrong and make the bosses in the company angry. However, although the atmosphere was a bit depressing, everyone ate very quickly. Within ten minutes, all five people, including Xiao Fanbin and Liu Dong, had finished eating.
Already.
After coming out of the hotel, after meeting with several appraisal experts specially invited by the company, everyone went straight to the most high-end villa area in Hangzhou, where Chen Yunfeng lived.
"Director Liu, this is it!"
Looking in the direction of Xiao Fanbin's finger, a European-style single-family villa surrounded by white walls and decorated with flowers appeared in Liu Dong's eyes.
Being able to purchase such a single-family villa with an area of more than 1,000 square meters in the Xihu District, which has the best environment in Hangzhou City, can also show the extraordinary economic strength of the owner! Although it is not big in Liu Dong's eyes!
"Let's go in!"
Looking at the iron door that had been slowly opened by electricity, Liu Dong parked the car outside and walked in with Xiao Fanbin and the others.
After they entered the door, they also saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray coat and smiling, but with a slightly surprised look on his face, standing in front of the villa to greet him!
"Mr. Xiao, welcome!"
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
After the two exchanged simple greetings, Chen Yunfeng looked at Liu Dongxiao and asked, "I wonder who this is...?"
"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Liu Dong, the chairman of our Puhua Red Star Auction House!"
"Chairman?" Chen Yunfeng was shocked.
When they came in just now, Chen Yunfeng saw with his own eyes that Xiao Fanbin deliberately stayed half a step behind Liu Dong, and knew that the other person must have an extraordinary identity. But because Liu Dong was too young, Chen Yunfeng thought he was the son of the owner of Puhua Red Star Auction House, or perhaps
The second generation of a more prominent figure! But he never thought that he was the boss of the company!
However, Chen Yunfeng was very human after all. He was surprised and quickly reacted. He immediately extended his right hand to Liu Dong and said: "Mr. Liu, how disrespectful! You are welcome to come to my home!"
"I came here uninvited, and I hope Mr. Chen won't blame me!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is so polite! I am an honored guest like you that I can't usually invite. It's an honor for me, Mr. Chen, to have you come to my door. Please come in!"
"please!"
Later, accompanied by Chen Yunfeng, the group entered the living room of the villa.
After entering the door, after briefly looking at the classical European decoration style around him, Liu Dong sat down on the sofa in the living room. Chen Yunfeng also quickly asked the servant to bring the tea that had been prepared long ago.
"We don't have anything to entertain you. I hope Mr. Liu and Mr. Xiao won't dislike a little tea!"
"If the special West Lake Longjing tea is not considered good tea, then there really aren't many good things in this world!" Liu Dong said with a smile after picking up the teacup, putting it in front of his nose and taking a slight sniff.
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be proficient in tea ceremony?"
Except for those who understand tea, even if ordinary people drink tea regularly, it is difficult to distinguish the grade and type of tea leaves from their aroma.
"I can't say I'm proficient, but I do have some understanding!" Liu Dong said with a smile after taking a sip of the amber tea in the cup.
"It takes three fingers to raise the cup and three mouthfuls to enter the stomach. This is not an ordinary understanding. Mr. Liu has clearly understood the essence of tea ceremony!"
Facing Chen Yunfeng's deliberate compliments, Liu Dong felt comfortable, but he didn't take it seriously. In contrast, he wanted to see Chen Yunfeng's collection rather than listen to the so-called 'sweet words' here!
"Mr. Chen, you're welcome! As the owner of Puhua Red Star Auction House, I really want to see Mr. Chen's collection. Is it convenient for Mr. Chen now?"
"Of course it's convenient! The things were prepared yesterday! If Mr. Liu wants to see it, he can do it now!"
"Then we'll have to trouble Mr. Chen!" As he said that, Liu Dong stood up.
"No trouble, please!"...
As expected, Chen Yunfeng took Liu Dong and his party to the treasure room of the villa. Like most treasure rooms of rich people, after passing through the thick password door, in the treasure room which is not big, there are simple but
Various displays such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade are placed on the sturdy display shelves.
However, it was not these antiques that attracted Liu Dong's attention the most, but the rough Qingtian stone that occupied most of the treasure room! Of course, the rough stone here is not an uncut stone like jadeite, but a natural Qingtian stone that has not been carved.
.
"Mr. Chen, there are indeed a lot of good things here!" Liu Dong said with a smile after taking a look at the Qingtian stones that were covered with almost every piece.
"Mr. Liu, you're so polite! As for good things, I'm afraid that all the things I have here combined are not as valuable as one-thousandth of what is collected in Mr. Liu's Yuanming Museum!"
After hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at Chen Yunfeng who had a flattering look on his face, smiled lightly, and said nothing more. (To be continued.)
