Chapter 334: I accept it!
...To be honest, Liu Dong also likes this authentic painting by Wang Shimin, but although it is good, it is not his!
Xie Zhonglin, who was always paying attention to the changes in Liu Dong's expression, of course noticed the flash of love that flashed across his eyes. He immediately felt certain in his heart and said with a smile: "If Mr. Liu likes it, then I will give the sword to the martyr.
It’s for you!”
"Give it to me?" After being stunned for a moment, Liu Dong shook his head, "How can this be so embarrassing? There is a saying that 'a gentleman should not take what others like', and this painting is worth a lot of money. I can't accept it for nothing!"
Liu Dong knew very well that "people must ask for something". This authentic painting by Wang Shimin is nearly 13 square feet and is worth at least more than five million! Such a heavy gift was given without asking.
Before he knew it, Liu Dong really didn't dare to accept it.
With Xie Zhonglin's intelligence, he could naturally understand Liu Dong's concerns at this moment, so he didn't hide it.
"Mr. Liu, I know that there was some unpleasantness between us because of Han Lei's incident. But didn't we know each other at that time? Now all this has become a thing of the past, and we have become partners, Fuxing Jade
Rough Stone Company still has 49% of your shares. Even for the sake of the company, I think we should forget about our previous unhappiness and cooperate sincerely to make Fuxing bigger, don’t you think?"
After listening to Xie Zhonglin's words, Liu Dong remained silent for a while, then reached out and took the wooden box containing Wang Shimin's original painting on the table into his own hand, "I accept this painting!"
"Hey!" Xie Zhonglin agreed, with a joyful smile on his face.
Seeing this, Liu Dong smiled faintly and said nothing. The key reason why he accepted the painting this time was that there was not much hatred between him and Xie Zhonglin. Although there were some misunderstandings, it was not harmful.
In the end, Xie Zhonglin was right. Now they are partners. The growth of Fuxing Stone Betting Company is in the common interest of both people. Compared with Dongchao Group, which is completely its own private company, Fuxing may be the one that can achieve the fastest results from its investment.
company. Maybe the money he invested in Fuxing will be recovered by the end of the year.
In contrast, Dongchao Group may spend three to four years in a row, or even longer, with net investment and no output.
…
It was closer from Quancheng to Qingdao than from Quancheng to Beijing. In less than an hour, the two of them were already sitting in the car leading to the most luxurious five-star hotel in the island city.
Perhaps in order to build a good relationship with Liu Dong, Xie Zhonglin bought two presidential suites. Liu Dong did not need to pay any fees during the whole process, he just enjoyed it!
Seeing this, although Liu Dong is not a person who takes advantage, the benefit of having it delivered to his door is in vain, and this small amount of money is not a big deal to Xie Zhonglin.
After several people had dinner together at noon, Liu Dong and Mu Gang went upstairs to rest for a while and then walked out. So Liu Dong was not prepared to spend the whole afternoon in the hotel. It was his first time in Qing-
Island, he wanted to visit the antique market here.
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I went out, I happened to bump into Xie Zhonglin standing at the door, looking like he was about to knock on his door.
"Liu Dong, are you ready to go out?" Looking at Liu Dong's backpack on his back, Xie Zhonglin's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He remembered that when Liu Dong got on the plane, his hands were empty.
However, this was not the focus of his attention, so he glanced at it and ignored it.
"Yes! Lao Xie, you looked like you were knocking on my door just now. Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Haha, the matter is a little bit, but it's not a big deal." Looking at the listening look on Liu Dong's face, he quickly continued: "It's just that it's been a long time in the afternoon and staying in the hotel is a bit boring, so I wanted to go to the antique store here.
Let’s go shopping. Liu Dong, you are an expert in antique appraisal and I want you to help me with my eyesight!”
Xie Zhonglin's words are half true and half false. Now he only knows about antique collecting at best, and it is not a hobby at all. However, in order to further close the relationship with Liu Dong, the Emerald King, it is best to strike while the iron is hot, communicate more, and seize the opportunity.
The topic of antique collection, which the other party is interested in, continues to be discussed in depth.
Seeing the change in the expression in Xie Zhonglin's eyes, Liu Dong was naturally well aware of his intention to make friends. However, this matter did no harm to him, so Liu Dong smiled lightly and agreed.
Afterwards, Liu Dong, Mu Gang, Xie Zhonglin, plus the latter's two bodyguards, walked down from the elevator. When the five people arrived at the door of the hotel, a black Audi and a black Mercedes-Benz appeared.
He drove over and stopped in front of a group of people.
Then I saw Xie Zhonglin negotiate with the drivers of the two cars, and then waved to Liu Dong.
"Lao Xie, do these two cars belong to you?" Liu Dong walked over and asked.
"Haha, this is Qingdao, not Quancheng. I don't want to go to the trouble of checking in the car. These two cars were rented from the car rental company for five hundred yuan a day. We will return them to them when we leave.
That’s it.”
"Car rental company?" Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "This is quite convenient!"
In the past, high-end transportation like cars was too far away from Liu Dong, but after he became successful, he bought a car directly, so this was the first time he heard about this kind of company that specializes in renting cars.
Hearing Liu Dong's words, Xie Zhonglin just smiled and didn't say much. He was also very clear about Liu Dong's past, but just because he knew it, he felt more and more that the young man in front of him had a bright future. Now he just
When you are making a fortune and your career is still at the beginning, it is the time to seize the opportunity to make friends.
"Liu Dong, there are two cars here. I'll take the Audi in the front, and you and Brother Mu Gang can take the Mercedes in the back!"
"Then I will accept your gratitude!" Liu Dong smiled and did not refuse.
"Haha, it's nothing. Brother Liu, you are too polite!" Xie Zhonglin climbed up the pole, from Mr. Liu before getting on the plane, to Liu Dong after getting off the plane, and now after seeing Liu Dong's attitude toward him improve.
, and immediately called him brother. This shows that Xie Zhonglin, a guy who has been in the society for more than ten years and built a huge business from scratch, is very skilled at building relationships and getting close.
Hearing Xie Zhonglin's words, Liu Dong smiled and took Mu Gang towards the Mercedes-Benz behind him. This time Liu Dong let Mu Gang sit in the back and drove the car himself.
The Mercedes-Benz is not Liu Dong's Land Rover. The space in the driver's seat is a bit too narrow for Mu Gang's tall and strong physique. But Liu Dong is just right.
As for this destination, Liu Dong already knew it in his mind. When he was in the hotel, he had memorized the entire map of Qingdao City in his brain with his almost photographic memory.
There is also navigation in the car, so there is basically no mistake.
So Xie Zhonglin, who was originally driving in front, ended up following Liu Dong's car because he was not familiar with the road conditions.
Five people and two cars drove all the way through the streets and alleys towards the Changle Road Cultural Market, which is the largest antique market in the entire Qingdao City. The Changle Road antique trading fair every Saturday is very popular in Jiaodong Peninsula.
Liu Dong had heard a lot about it when he was in Quancheng, so the first stop after arriving in Qingdao was there.
However, according to the route Liu Dong and the others took, if they wanted to go to Changle Road, they would have to pass through the island city's famous scenic spot 'Badaguan', which was designated as a key cultural relic protection unit by the country in 2001. Of course, the current Badaguan is not.
However, when Liu Dong drove over from Juyongguan Road, he saw many construction teams renovating the villas inside Badaguan.
Liu Dong's eyes are also attracted by these ancient buildings that have experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain. If possible, he would like to buy a house here. The environment is quiet, the blue sky and blue sea, and the scenery are beautiful. It is definitely a good place for vacation and leisure. But most of the places
Villas do not have property rights certificates, and they are basically in the hands of the state. If a private person wants to buy them, he or she will not be able to get them.
Therefore, Liu Dong did not want to go to such trouble for a vacation villa that he did not live in regularly. However, this did not delay his appreciation of these ancient buildings.
"Hey!" After making a sound of surprise, Liu Dong suddenly stopped the car, and Xie Zhonglin behind him was unprepared and almost hit him. But he didn't dare to get angry at Liu Dong.
"What's wrong with Brother Liu?" Seeing Liu Dong and Mu Gang getting out of the car, Xie Zhonglin also walked out quickly.
"Oh, it's nothing! This villa looks good, let's go in and have a look!" Liu Dong pointed to a baroque building with a three-story center and a garden a few steps away. The door of the villa was half open at the moment.
"What's so good about this shabby house!" Xie Donglin couldn't help but said in his heart as he looked at the collapsed corner of the roof on the left side of the three-story villa and the messy flowers and plants growing freely in the yard.
But despite this, he still chose to go in with Liu Dong.
The yard is a bit messy at the moment. Two middle-aged men in their thirties wearing white shirts are directing five or six workers with messy clothes and dust all over their bodies. They are moving out items from the villa that look a little moldy.
, and even a lot of European-style furniture that has fallen apart.
When Liu Dong and others came in, the empty yard was already filled with a lot of things.
"Hey, who let you in? This is not a tourist area, get out quickly!" Seeing Liu Dong and others entering the hospital, a slightly thin middle-aged man quickly ran over to stop them.
However, the clothes of a few people, and the obviously different temperaments of the two bodyguards Mu Gang and Xie Zhonglin, made the originally arrogant and thin middle-aged man involuntarily soften his attitude. In the end, he became even more
