Looking at the bright-headed old man who stood up with a look of surprise on his face, Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly walked over with a smile.
"I didn't expect to see you here again!"
"I didn't expect that the last one to join this time would be a famous person like you!" The old man said happily as he held the hand that Liu Dong offered.
Speaking of which, the two of them met when they held the China-Hong Kong Antique Collection Exchange Conference in Hong Kong. Now, almost three years have passed!
"You are so polite! Compared to you, the director of the Ancient Calligraphy and Painting Department of the Palace Museum, I am far behind!" Liu Dong said politely.
"Okay, you two, stop nagging. I'm still waiting!"
At this time, a fat old man next to him interrupted.
"Are you Mr. Zhu Hongjun, Mr. Zhu?" Liu Dong said in surprise after looking at the old man for a few moments.
"It's rare that Mr. Liu still remembers me, a bad old man!" Zhu Hongjun said with a smile.
Although the other party called him a bit weird, Liu Dong didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he said respectfully: "You are so polite, Madam. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Mr. Zhu for your donation to the Yuanming Museum!"
"
Because of Liu Dong's influence in the business district and Mr. Li's energy in the political and antique circles, the Yuanming Museum has received a large number of donations of collections despite its relatively short history.
But the vast majority of these donations are two or three, or four or five, and they are basically just a gift to maintain the relationship.
To be honest, the number of people in the industry who have donated more than 100 pieces of art is rare, if not rare. Zhu Hongjun is one of these few people.
Moreover, the other party donated a total of 129 pieces of modern "Da Hong Pao" famous handwritings, which effectively supplemented the collection of the Modern Calligraphy and Painting Hall of the Yuanming Museum.
Therefore, Liu Dong deeply respected this senior who was well-known in the industry for his good temper, diligent study of calligraphy and painting, and extremely high attainments in calligraphy and painting appraisal.
Faced with Liu Dong's respect, Zhu Hongjun waved his hand and said: "Actually, you don't have to be too polite. I will donate those things after a hundred years. I just saw that your Yuanming Museum is good, and I and I
Li is also a friend with a like-minded temperament. It’s appropriate to support him!”
Having said that, donating all works of art worth more than 30 million yuan at once is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Your old mind is really admirable to the younger generation!" Liu Dong said sincerely.
In addition to verbal gratitude, Liu Dong really had nothing else to express his gratitude to this old man who regarded money as dirt.
"Okay, let's save the conversation between you two for later. Let's introduce Mr. Liu to our colleagues here. After all, we have to work together for a few days. Let's get to know each other first!" Mr. Huo interjected.
Come in.
"makes sense!"
After Zhu Hongjun nodded, he turned and looked at the old man who had stood up and walked to them, wearing a light cyan coat, with a serious expression and slightly gray hair.
"This is Lao Geng, Geng Mingchang, a member of the National Collection Association and a distinguished researcher at the He*nan Provincial Museum. He is good at miscellaneous appraisals, especially the appraisal and restoration of bronzes! Lao Geng. This is...!"
"Brother Zhu, no introduction is needed! Mr. Liu Dong is very popular in the industry now! How could I not recognize him?" After interrupting Zhu Hongjun, Geng Mingchang took the initiative to extend his right hand towards Liu Dong.
"Hello!"
"Hello, Mr. Geng, nice to meet you!" As a junior, Liu Dong should be more proactive.
"Okay, now that you know each other, let's sit down and chat! Just in time, I'm very curious about the Yuanming Museum!" Mr. Huo greeted.
"That's perfect. I just want to bother Mr. Liu, the curator, to tell us about the shipwreck, especially the bronze statue of Athena. Now there's almost a quarrel over it abroad!" Zhu Hongjun also said.
Seeing the atmosphere of the four people chatting getting more and more intense, Gao Xin, who was standing aside at this moment, truly understood. It turned out that this yellow-haired boy who he thought had no real ability was the director of the recently famous Yuanming Museum and a well-known appraiser in the circle.
Masters, famous calligraphers, painters and seal carvers!
“Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance!”
With such emotion, Gao Xin also felt relieved.
With the addition of Liu Dong, the appraisal team of their program team has finally been assembled!
After a brief chat, Liu Dong also understood his responsibilities for this trip. He was responsible for the porcelain appraisal that was supposed to be done by Mr. Li. Zhu Hongjun, Mr. Zhu, was responsible for the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, Mr. Huo was responsible for the appraisal of jade, and Geng Mingchang was responsible for
Miscellaneous appraisals. With four people together, the four major items of jade, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous items, and jade items from the antique shop are basically complete.
Because the time was relatively early, and the three elderly men were curious about Liu Dong's legendary stories, especially the various anecdotes he collected, more than 70 to 80 percent of the topics revolved around Liu Dong.
East. This rather lively conversation lasted until nine o'clock after dinner. After all, the three old men, who were no more energetic than the young people, returned to their respective rooms with unsatisfied intentions.
Liu Dong, who wanted to avoid being too unsociable, did not stay in the presidential suite, but in the deluxe suite arranged by the program team. And this deluxe suite was enough for him and Helen.
After taking a hot bath, Liu Dong lay on the bed and looked at the company's reports during this period. He was quite attentive at first. But when he saw that after taking a bath, his whole body was filled with an alluring fragrance, his hair was fluffy, and he was amazingly charming.
After Helen came over wiping her hair, the little flame in Liu Dong's heart immediately burned violently.
At this moment, naturally he would not suppress his lover Liu Dong at all. As soon as Helen threw the report in her hand, before Helen could react, she was already held in Liu Dong's arms.
"No, I still have something very important to tell you... um...!"
Only half of the words were spoken, and the rest was already blocked by Liu Dong's hot lips and tongue.
"Hmm...slow down...!"
Helen, who originally wanted to struggle and deal with business first, was aroused by Liu Dong's vigorous rubbing on the chest and back. She completely let go of everything and responded enthusiastically.
You and I had sex as they wished. The battle was naturally extremely fierce! Fortunately, the soundproofing measures of the Jiahua five-star hotel did not cut corners, and the two of them tossed around peacefully for two hours before finally calming down.
"By the way, you said you had something important to tell me just now. What important thing?" Holding Helen's sweaty body in his arms, Liu Dong suddenly remembered the unfinished sentence that the other party just said.
After giving Liu Dong a hard look, Helen breathed heavily. Her face was red, and she said with a tired look on her face: "The things are in my bag, you can go get them yourself! ...I was killed by you,
I’m so tired every time! I’ll go to bed first!”
With a slight smile, Liu Dong lovingly took the quilt and covered the beauty's body, and said warmly: "Then you go to sleep first, I will be back in a while!"
"Um!"
Helen snorted softly, shook her hand and then fell silent.
Seeing this, Liu Dong got out of bed gently. The pajamas on the boat came to the living room. After finding Helen's bag and opening it, he never expected that a copy of "Time Magazine" would appear in front of him.
"Well, has it been edited?"
Recalling his interview with the American "Times" magazine last year, Liu Dong immediately became interested in the contents of this relatively thick magazine.
"When did I take this photo? Why don't I remember? But he is really handsome!" Looking at the cover of Time Magazine, he was wearing a black suit, with his left hand in his trouser pocket and his right hand stretched forward 45
With his five fingers spread wide, he seems to hold the whole world in his hands. If coupled with the sharp eyes and cold expression on his face, he really looks like a domineering president! He is so wild and cool!
Although Liu Dongxianglai likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like to be in the limelight. But seeing his photo appear on the cover of the American edition of Time Magazine, which is famous all over the world, he is still extremely proud deep in his heart.
Man, who doesn’t have a little vanity?
"A wealth legend from the East, at the age of 25, he is already the well-deserved richest man in the world!"
At the top of the cover, there is such a paragraph printed in eye-catching red fonts. Although the content is not much, it is enough to make anyone who sees it curious and want to know the content behind this paragraph.
Naturally, the same goes for Liu Dong. Even though he was talking about himself, he was also curious about how Time Magazine evaluated him!
When he opened the title page, as expected, the first page of the magazine was an article introducing himself.
"The year 2000 was the last year before China entered the 21st century after its reform and opening up at the end of the 20th century. In this year, Putin, who believed in power politics, replaced Yeltsin and took over the scepter of the President of the Russian Federation; in this year
, AOL and Time Warner merged to form one of the largest multinational media companies in the United States, 'AOL-Time Warner'; in this year, the 27th Summer Olympics was held in Sydney, Australia. Among them, China won 28
Gold medals, 16 silver medals, and 15 bronze medals. The total number of gold medals and medals both ranked third, making a historic breakthrough."
"... Of course, these are not the focus. The focus is that in Quancheng, the capital of China's Shandong Province in the Pacific Ocean, an ordinary young man who came out of China's impoverished mountainous countryside and did not receive higher education spent three years at the bottom of society.
Then he finally began his legendary rise."
"...before we really get to know this young Chinese billionaire named Liu Dong, our definition of young entrepreneurs is often based on Mr. Gates. Because he created a company with a market value of more than 100 billion in less than 20 years.
US dollar Microsoft, and successfully made his net worth surpass Mr. Buffett to become the world’s number one.”
"...For a long time, I and most people thought that there would never be another wealth miracle like Mr. Gates! After all, it took less than twenty years to create more than 60 billion US dollars.
Personal wealth is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and is even considered impossible... But now this impossible thing has been broken by a younger man from the East! He - is 'Liu Dong'
!”
"Rose Jewelry Company is now conquering cities all over the world. Its assets and scale have surpassed Paris Spring, becoming the third largest jewelry and luxury goods group company in the world after Louis Vuitton and Richemont Group.
Five years ago, Liu Dong established the first company in Quancheng! At that time, the registered capital of this acquired jewelry company was less than US$3,000. Five years later, it has 24 branches around the world.
A luxury goods giant with 4,000 stores and an estimated asset value of US$8 billion."
"...I'm sorry to use the word 'expected', because the world's third-ranked luxury goods group has not been listed so far, and it has just carried out internal share reforms and set up an option pool that is enough to attract talents.
It can be seen from the above that in the short term, we have seen the listing of this group company with great potential in the stock market! As I write this, I deeply regret that I have already prepared enough funds to buy its shares.
!”
Seeing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile.
There are not just one or two people who are looking forward to the listing of Qiangwei Jewelry. In the past year or two, whether they are internal or external to the group, there have been not one thousand but eight hundred people who have encouraged him to list Qiangwei Jewelry, either explicitly or covertly!
And he was encouraged by so many people, many of whom were friends and elders he knew. To be honest, Liu Dong had also thought about putting Qiangwei Jewelry on the market.
However, in the second half of last year, due to conflicts with the Rothschild and Stillman families, the share price of Standard Chartered Bank collapsed, almost dooming him, and Liu Dong completely gave up his plan to list his company.
He knew very well how much he weighed.
Although in the eyes of uninformed outsiders, Liu Dong is a business wizard who surpasses Bill Gates, Buffett and other elites. But Liu Dong himself understands that 95% of the credit for his being where he is today must be attributed to Relic Yuanguang
.
Without the relic Yuanguang, Liu Dong would probably be just a middle-class person hanging around in Quan City now. It would be impossible for him to be as prosperous as he is now.
Therefore, I know that I am not the Stillman family or the Rothschild family, these old drivers who have been involved in finance for hundreds of years, using all kinds of overt and covert, sinister, sinister, and even shameless methods.
'Rival Liu Dong wisely gave up his plan to list his companies, especially in the United States.
Of course, he also knows that even if it is not listed, these people will have ways to deal with themselves. But at least they have avoided all risks brought about by the rise and fall of the stock market.
And reduced many unnecessary risks. With the improvement of his own business management capabilities and vision, the expansion of social contacts, coupled with a profound background, and the most critical relic Yuanguang, Liu Dong is confident that he can become more and more successful.
Handle troubles from all aspects with ease.
