Chapter 1483 1482【Change your past and be a new person!】
Three days later, the Hong Kong Art Center held a grand personal painting exhibition.
The protagonist of this personal exhibition is Bertie, the female president of the Hong Kong Shinhwa Group Construction Company.
As we all know, Platte is the first wife of Hong Kong tycoon Shi Chi-kin. Shi Chi-kin brought two wives from Thailand back to Hong Kong, which caused an uproar. Therefore, many people speculate that Platte held the exhibition because she was stimulated by Shi Chi-kin and was seeking revenge.
Shi Zhijian, he must use art to maintain his dignity and so on.
But, is this really the case?
At this time, the entire art exhibition center was extremely lively, with many ladies from famous families, wealthy ladies, and even many Hong Kong and British political figures coming to support the exhibition.
Everyone gathered together and talked about these works created by Berti, and their voices were full of admiration and compliments.
It has to be said that Belletti is a graduate of the Department of Literature and the Department of Art of the British Empire, and has extraordinary talent in this area. The paintings displayed this time alone are eye-opening.
"Wow, dear Mrs. Bertie, this painting of "The Girl Drawing Water" is really great!" A lady wearing Chanel and carrying an LV bag pointed to a painting and told Bertie
He praised: "I see youth, fitness and hope from this painting!"
"Yes, Mrs. Lawrence, the theme of this painting is indeed like this. You have great taste!" Bertie greeted the other party with a smile.
"Haha, many people say this to me! As you know, my husband is the Secretary of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Hong Kong after all, and I have learned a lot of art from him!" The lady looked proud.
People nearby also said: "Yes, these paintings are very good. Anyone with a little bit of artistic talent can see it! But I don't know how much this painting will cost if it is auctioned?"
This is the rule in the upper class circles. If you hold an art exhibition, we will come to support it. In order to build a relationship, we will collect at least one or two of your works. In the future, everyone will reciprocate and hold a new book launch party, and the other party will also buy out your work.
New books serve as support. If you hold a fashion conference, the other party will buy the clothes you designed. And so on, what comes and goes.
Seeing that everyone was asking questions, Bertie smiled slightly and said: "Not much, this painting costs five million!"
"Ahem, what? Five million!" Even though this group of ladies and ladies were used to complimenting each other, they never expected that Platte would dare to speak so loudly, and that a painting would dare to sell for five million?
Mrs. Lawrence was a little unhappy and curled her lips and said: "Mrs. Bertie, to be honest, I admire your talent! But you are not specialized in painting, it is just a hobby. You can sell a painting for 100,000 or 80,000 yuan."
That’s it, these five million...hehe, isn’t it a bit too much?”
Others around him also laughed.
One person said: "Yeah, even if this painting was painted by Leonardo da Vinci, it wouldn't be able to sell for that price if it was unknown!" The tone was full of ridicule.
The others laughed again. In their opinion, Belletti was either crazy about money or arrogant, thinking that his works could be compared with those of famous artists.
If you think about it carefully, you must be crazy about money. It is said that Shinhwa Group is expanding rapidly now. It is acquiring entertainment companies, media companies, and establishing jewelry companies... These all require a lot of real money. I'm afraid Bo
Leti's husband Shi Zhijian couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked his wife to show up to sell paintings to raise money!
People are speculating a lot.
I feel even more contempt in my heart. Only a fool would buy it at such an expensive price!
at this time--
"Five million? Not much! If Miss Platte doesn't mind, I'll buy it!"
"What? Someone is actually willing to bid?"
This voice shocked everyone, and they all followed the sound, but they saw an old man who didn't look like an artist in any way. He was wearing an awkward suit. When everyone looked at him, he pulled his tie and coughed: "
What do you think I am doing? I can afford five million!"
Now it’s not about what he can’t afford, but whether this person is a fool. He spent five million to buy a little-known painting at such an old age!
Hearing this, Bai Ruidi glanced at the old man and smiled: "May I ask your name, sir?"
"My surname is Liang, and my name is Liang Jiashu! Ahem, I like to collect art. I particularly like your paintings, Miss Bertie, so I want to buy more of them. Is it possible?"
"Of course!" Bertie glanced at Liang Jiashu meaningfully, "But I wonder how many paintings you are interested in?"
"Ahem, which ones are the most expensive here?"
Bertie smiled and waved to the side, and a staff member came over immediately.
"Miss Bertie, what are your orders?"
"Take Mr. Liang to visit my gallery and tell him which paintings are more valuable for collection and investment!"
"Okay!" After the staff member said that, he turned around and smiled at Liang Jiashu: "Sir, please follow me!"
Liang Jiashu put his hands behind his back, pretended to be a connoisseur, bowed slightly to Bai Ledi, and then left with the staff member.
Mrs. Lawrence and others are dumbfounded, what's going on? Is this person crazy? A pair of five million is not enough, we need to buy more? Is it because we are blind and don't understand art?
These people begin to doubt themselves.
"I'm sorry, Miss Bertie!" Suddenly another person stood up, also a man, tall and thick-set, "I also appreciate your works, but I don't know which ones have investment value?"
Bertie smiled and called a staff member to help with the introduction.
Everyone heard the man say to the staff before leaving: "The introduction price is 10 million, if it is too little, don't introduce it! We are not short of money!"
Mrs. Lawrence almost dropped her jaw!
Others also opened their mouths wide in disbelief!
Ten million?
Everyone stares at Peretti, but no matter how they look at it, they don’t think that this beauty is the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci! One painting sells for ten million? Even the masters in the current painting world dare not guarantee that it will be sold!
At this time, not only did everyone begin to doubt themselves, they even began to doubt life!
…
"Hey, hey, be careful! Don't think that wearing a suit and tie means you are a cultured person! By the way, what about you! Didn't you spit on the ground just now?" Leung Ka-shu criticized one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Kowloon Walled City.
One of the people said, "Do you think this is a walled city where you can urinate and defecate anywhere? This is a gallery, where Senator Shi's wife holds an art exhibition! The purpose of our visit today is very simple. We are here to buy paintings. We must behave appropriately and politely.
!”
The four heavenly kings scratched their heads and scratched their heads one by one. They were not human beings after being taught by Liang Jiashu.
"Stop scratching your head! They all look like crooked melons and cracked jujubes. I really don't know how you manage the walled city? No wonder it has to be demolished!" Liang Jiashu said angrily.
"Ahem, boss! No, we don't want the walled city to be demolished! Now we are riding a tiger and it's hard to get off!"
"Yes, boss! I don't know if what Mr. Shi said is true or false. He asked us to buy his wife's paintings, and then the money will be counted as investment in Kowloon Walled City real estate!"
"We are very worried about this, boss!" the Four Heavenly Kings said to Liang Jiashu.
Liang Jiashu sneered: "Who do you think Mr. Shi is? Are you trying to trick you into spending this little money? It's not because of our special status and the shady business we do! Those banks don't dare to open accounts for us, how can we use our accounts?
Investing in real estate? You might even be invited to drink coffee by the police!"
"But we really don't understand these strange modern arts!" the Four Heavenly Kings said aggrievedly.
"You don't understand, how can I understand? You know, this is called money laundering! Mr. Shi said that this method is very popular in the West!" Liang Jiahui looked disdainful, feeling that these men could not hold up the wall.
Since they reached an agreement with Shi Zhijian, when Ding Yongqiang takes up the position of Chief Superintendent O, he will start the "great cause" of sweeping the Kowloon Walled City.
When the time comes, they and Ding Yongqiang will "cooperate inside and outside" to completely demolish the Kowloon Walled City, and they will cooperate with Shi Zhijian to invest in this walled city and build it into a new landmark in Hong Kong!
But the investment money cannot be transferred by bank transfer, because their money is shady and will be checked as soon as it enters the bank! For this reason, Shi Zhijian came up with such a high-level method to help them launder money, hold art exhibitions, and let them buy
painting!
In his last life, Shi Zhijian had an encounter with a chaebol in South Korea and asked him out of curiosity why rich people liked some weird modern art.
The other party told Shi Zhijian that many galleries were actually underground banks, and those paintings were a voucher used to make money.
In other words, if you buy a painting from a gallery, it doesn't matter how good it is, but you need to pay 5 million US dollars for this painting. Then you can go to any place in the world, and this painting is a "money withdrawal certificate" and you can directly
Sell and cash out, but the other party needs to charge some handling fees.
This is how some high-end galleries make money.
So many rich people say they "sell paintings", but they actually go to underground banks to exchange money.
Otherwise, do you think that the painting is so easy to sell and has such strong liquidity? You can sell it if you say it is for sale?
Of course, now Shi Zhijian has just changed this method, allowing people like Liang Jiashu and other Kowloon Walled City people to use their shady money to buy Platte's paintings. Then these paintings are the evidence of their investment in Shinhwa Real Estate, and Platinum
In addition to being the author of these paintings, Leti is also the person in charge of Shinhwa Real Estate, so her credibility is absolutely guaranteed!
"Ahem, it's just a pity that we bought 80 million paintings in one go, but the other party wanted to deduct 3 million!" One person pouted with some dissatisfaction.
Liang Jiashu knocked the opponent on the forehead with a bang: "It's a shame that you are still a moneylender in the walled city. You don't even understand such simple principles! This company charges interest as you go in and out! Otherwise, why would they help you?"
He rubbed his head at the unfortunate guy who knocked on his forehead: "But they are too shady! Three million, how long do I have to extort to earn enough?!"
Liang Jiashu kicked him on the calf again, making the other party grin: "You also know about extortion? These are all ill-gotten gains! Now we are investing in real estate, and we will also invest in karaoke and dance halls and movie theaters in the future. We want to make serious money."
Money! Remember, change your past and be a new person!"
…
"Ajian, I understand what you are saying. Is it really possible to turn over a new leaf and turn over a new leaf?!" Lei Luo asked Shi Zhijian in a doubtful tone.
Shi Zhijian did not expect that Lei Luo would take the initiative to find him today and invite him to come to this racecourse to watch the horse racing.
At this moment, the two of them were in the most luxurious private room in the racecourse. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, they could clearly see the galloping horses in the racecourse.
Chen Xijiu and several of his subordinates were surrounding them to protect them. After all, Shi Zhijian and Lei Luo were of very high status, and now was the most sensitive period of integrity in the police industry, so anything could happen.
"Brother Luo, what do you mean by this?" Shi Zhijian held the red wine and swayed leisurely while looking at the galloping horse and glanced at Lei Luo.
Lei Luo held the red wine glass and smiled bitterly: "If possible, I want to be a good person!" After saying that, he looked at the racecourse, "Ajian, do you still remember that the first time we met was here...
…At that time, you pretended to be a rich man and said that my black lightning horse would definitely win. I believed you and placed a heavy bet!"
"Of course I remember. Thank you Brother Luo for giving me the opportunity to make my first pot of gold!" Shi Zhijian raised his glass to Lei Luo.
Lei Luo's expression seemed to have entered memories, and he said in a dazed tone: "At that time, you were high-spirited and unstoppable! If I hadn't found out your true identity later, I would still not be able to believe that you were a poor boy living in Shek Kip Mei!"
"I'm afraid of poverty, so I try to find ways to become prosperous!" Shi Zhijian said comfortably while drinking lipstick wine with one hand in his pocket.
"You are right! I used to be very poor, before I met your sister-in-law! It was her father and my father-in-law who helped me, and I, Lei Luo, changed from a military policeman to a plainclothes detective, and then from a plainclothes detective
"Chief, at that time - everything was about money! Without money, it's hard to move forward!" Lei Luo's tone changed and he looked at Shi Zhijian, "So I always thought that I did nothing wrong! If I wasn't greedy at that time, I wouldn't be able to get there at all.
today!"
"Today? Under investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption?" Shi Zhijian smiled.
If it were anyone else talking to Lei Luo like this, he would have died dozens of times, but the person in front of him was Shi Zhijian, he had the qualifications and strength.
Lei Luo's face twitched.
"You let me run away and become cannon fodder and wanted by the police. I really can't do that!" Lei Luo risked his life and said to Shi Zhijian. "You know my character. You have never let me live with such a bad reputation for the rest of my life. I
I’d rather die!”
"Then die!" Shi Zhijian glanced at Lei Luo contemptuously, "I asked you to let go, but you didn't listen to me! You want to become bigger and stronger and the number one person in the police force. Now the Independent Commission Against Corruption has found the leader.
, you want to ask me to come forward again! Okay, I am willing to come forward, but I am not a Bodhisattva or a god, and I can't save so many of you! So you can only choose, you and Chen Zhichao must be cannon fodder, so that others can be saved!
"
After speaking, Shi Zhijian stared at Lei Luo: "Brother Luo, aren't you very loyal? Why are you so soft now?"
