"That's right! You can make whatever price you want, and I will buy it no matter how much it costs." Mr. Fu said very grandly.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Sorry, I won't sell this painting."
"Why?" Mr. Fu asked in surprise, is there anyone who doesn't like money these days?
"Because this painting does not belong to private property. It is our national treasure of China. It should go where it should go." Lin Fan had never planned to sell it, even though he was really short of money now.
After finding out that this was the authentic work of Luo Shen Fu Tu, Lin Fan made this decision in his heart.
Mr. Fu was stunned for a moment. Although what Lin Fan said was very vague, Mr. Fu still understood what Lin Fan meant and immediately stood in awe. He thought he could not be as righteous as Lin Fan, but he admired Lin Fan very much.
This junior, so he handed a business card from his pocket to Lin Fan and said: "Little brother, this is my business card. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me."
Lin Fan took the gold-gilt business card handed over to him and put it in his pocket despite everyone's jealous looks.
Only then did Mr. Fu smile and leave here in high spirits, not forgetting to look at the painting reluctantly as he left.
Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Fu really loved painting. He circled the silk painting on the ground and carefully held it in his hand, and walked out with his father-in-law amidst the jealous eyes of the shop owner and the envious eyes of everyone.
Jian Bao Zhai.
"Xiao Fei, are you really going to donate this painting?" Xia Yunlong asked with some unwillingness to part with such a famous painting.
Lin Fan nodded solemnly and said: "Dad, if this painting remains in our hands for a long time, it is inevitable that someone with evil intentions will take notice of it. For this reason, it is better to hand it over to the state for safekeeping!
It can be regarded as being able to bring this rare treasure back to the world!"
Xia Yunlong nodded, feeling that what Lin Fan said made sense.
After getting in the car, Lin Fan handed the scroll in his hand to his father-in-law Xia Yunlong, then took out his mobile phone and called Chen Chufeng.
"Uncle Chen, I have an authentic painting of Luo Shen Fu in my hand and want to donate it to the country. Is there any way you can contact the people at the Palace Museum?"
"What, do you really have the authentic painting of Luo Shen Fu? Are you lying to me?" Chen Chufeng's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Uncle Chen, look what you said, when did I lie to you?" Lin Fan said speechlessly.
"Okay, then I will ask someone to pick it up immediately. You must keep it carefully." Chen Chufeng said excitedly and anxiously. In fact, anyone who knows the value of this painting will feel like this.
With that said, the other party immediately hung up the phone.
Lin Fan didn't mind. He called Lin Shiya again and asked her to have someone check out this Jianbaozhai. Lin Fan believed that the owner of this store had definitely deceived many people. He liked to deceive people.
That guy should be taught a lesson.
"Xiao Fei, who is Uncle Chen in your mouth? How can he be so powerful?" Xia Yunlong couldn't help but ask.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Dad, since the other party asked people to come and pick it up, it means that he was able to contact the person at the Palace Museum, because this person is our Donghai City Party Committee Secretary."
"That's it!" Xia Yunlong sighed. He had met many high-ranking officials before, so he was not too surprised.
After finishing all these things, Lin Fan drove his father-in-law back to the Xia family villa.
After Lin Shiya received the call from Lin Fan, she immediately investigated this Jianbaozhai and found that many citizens had complained about this store in recent years, but in the end they were ignored. Lin Shiya felt something was strange, so
He told his father about this.
After listening to his daughter's account, Lin Yaohai analyzed that there must be someone protecting the boss of Jianbaozhai. Through investigation, he quickly found out the person who was protecting him. So Lin Yaohai not only dismissed that person from his post, but also
Someone sealed up Jianbaozhai and arrested the owner of the store.
Of course, this is all an afterthought and has nothing to do with Lin Fan.
"Brother-in-law, why did you come back with dad?" In the living room, sister-in-law Xia Qingqing was watching TV boredly. During this time, she felt like she was about to get moldy when she stayed at home. When she saw Lin Fan and Xia Yunlong came back together
, his mind was no longer on the TV, and his eyes immediately looked over.
"Oh, Dad ran into some trouble at the antique store. I went over to help, so we came back together." Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Trouble...what trouble?" Xia Qingqing looked at Xia Yunlong and asked.
"Yes, Lao Xia, what happened?" Although mother-in-law Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to see Lin Fan, she immediately asked nervously when she heard that her husband was in trouble.
"It's nothing serious. I was just tricked by a sinister antique shop owner." Xia Yunlong placed the scroll in his hand on the glass coffee table in the living room. Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed.
"Ah..." Both women exclaimed, and then Xia Qingqing said harshly: "Damn cruel businessman, brother-in-law, have you ever taught that profiteer a lesson?" After saying that, she shook her hand.
Little fist.
Lin Fan was speechless. Do you have the image of a violent maniac in your mind? He is always ready to hit people?
At this time, mother-in-law Lin Xiaoxiao complained to Xia Yunlong: "You don't know anything about antiques. You should learn what others do when they buy those things. Now you must be cheated!"
"Who says I don't understand? I just didn't see it for a moment! Besides, didn't Xiaofei get the money back?" Xia Yunlong's face turned red and he said defensively.
"I got it back...brother-in-law, tell me how you helped dad get the money back." Upon hearing this, Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up and she started asking Lin Fan about the specific situation excitedly.
So, Lin Fan told the whole story exactly what happened.
Xia Qingqing listened very well, and it seemed that every time something happened to her brother-in-law, unexpected results would happen.
Lin Xiaoxiao listened as if she was playing a movie. Although she didn't want to believe it, her husband didn't even say anything. It was obvious that this was true.
Isn't it just a little bit lucky? What's the big deal!
Even so, Lin Xiaoxiao still didn't look at Lin Fan differently, and then she started to think about this painting. Although she didn't know much about Gu Kaizhi's original work, she also knew that this thing was very valuable.
So he stared at the painting on the coffee table with bright eyes and said: "Lao Xia, since this painting is an authentic work of Gu Kaizhi, then it must be very valuable, why don't we sell it!"
"No!" Before Xia Yunlong could say anything to refuse, Lin Fan interrupted the mother-in-law's delusion.
