Chapter 524 Soderby Collection



On the sofa.

Hearing Guan Feng's doubts, Wang Anguo laughed and said, "The antique and calligraphy circle is only so big. Everyone knows about the slightest thing. Besides, you just picked up a bargain worth over 100 million yuan. To be honest, your reputation in the calligraphy and painting collection world is now legendary, but most people have never met you."

"oh?"

Guan Feng asked, puzzled, "Since I'm so famous, why hasn't anyone contacted me?"

Wang Anguo finally understood Guan Feng's confusion about this question and explained, "This is all thanks to Chen You! After you appraised the calligraphy and painting, the Chen family strictly blocked your information, afraid that others would disturb you. So everyone only heard of you but never saw your name. They only knew that there was such a powerful person, but they didn't know who it was! I only found out that it was you by asking Ya Yue!"

Guan Feng suddenly realized and said, "No wonder! I didn't expect Chairman Chen to be behind it all."

After he finished appraising the calligraphy and paintings, he mentioned it to Chen Qingxin, but he didn't expect Chen You to handle things so well.

Director Huang commented from the side, "To be able to build such a large enterprise, Chen You must have some skills in dealing with people. He is also very good at judging people, which is why he took the initiative to act. However, Xiao Guan, you don't need to worry too much. Chen You is a soldier, and he is quite generous and righteous."

Guan Feng said, "I've met Chairman Chen a few times, and he is indeed very generous."

Director Huang then briefly recounted some of Chen You's secrets.

After all, he was the future "son-in-law," and he had been transferred out of the Municipal Bureau. Director Huang's attitude was different from before. He spoke simply and directly about some things, which gave Guan Feng a more three-dimensional image of Chen You and made it easier for him to deal with Chen You in the future.

The three chatted for a while longer before Huang's mother called them to eat.

Director Huang said with a smile, "Let's sit down first! We can talk while we eat."

The three of them sat down at the table, and the family enjoyed a harmonious meal together.

At 2 PM, everyone had finished their meal and drinks.

Wang Anguo instructed, "Ya Yue, you drive later! Xiao Guan, shall we go to Jincheng this afternoon?"

Guan Feng said, "Okay, let's get this done today."

Wang Anguo said with a smile, "There's one more thing. Considering your identity, I won't introduce you. Just treat it as if you're a nephew visiting my home. I've also prepared a pair of sunglasses for you so that you can be flexible and avoid being bothered by others."

Guan Feng said, "This is a good idea! After all, given the nature of my work, there are many times when I don't want people to know."

Wang Anguo said, "Old Huang reminded me of this before you arrived. Don't worry, it won't interfere with your work."

Guan Feng said, "Okay! Shall we set off now?"

Wang Anguo looked at Wang Yayue and asked, "Yayue, shall we set off now?"

"good!"

Wang Yayue nodded.

......

Jincheng.

The group greeted each other with "General Manager Wang".

Wang Anguo led the group straight to the innermost room.

Squeak!

The gate opened.

Guan Feng and Wang Yayue saw an antique-style office.

The office was elegantly decorated, with calligraphy and paintings hanging all around, including various landscape and humanistic paintings. Guan Feng saw several exquisite paintings worth tens of millions of yuan with just a quick glance.

He couldn't help but pull Wang Ya Yue aside and whispered, "Ya Yue, is your uncle a billionaire?"

Wang Yayue shook her head and said, "No way! Most of these calligraphy and paintings were collected by him in his early years. My uncle was once reformed at a farm in Suzhou. Every household there had a few pieces of calligraphy and paintings. My uncle liked these, so he saved up and bought them."

"Later, he returned to Jincheng and opened a calligraphy and painting shop with these paintings and calligraphy works. Gradually, he built the shop he has today. However, he had poor judgment. My mother told me that he lost money on several paintings and calligraphy works. Otherwise, he would definitely be worth over a billion yuan now."

Guan Feng suddenly realized.

This is a kind of wealth created by the times.

He initially made his fortune by collecting calligraphy and paintings, but he failed to improve himself in subsequent development. His abilities could not match the growth of his wealth, which prevented him from becoming one of the top collectors.

Even so, Wang Anguo's wealth still surpasses that of the vast majority of ordinary people.

Even if his net worth isn't a billion, he must have at least two or three hundred million.

He said to Wang Yayue, "Let's go in and take a look! Uncle must be getting impatient."

The two walked quickly and entered Wang Anguo's office.

Wang Anguo was making a phone call to arrange a time to view the calligraphy and paintings in the afternoon. After finishing the call, he saw the two people come in and invited them to sit down with a smile. He then asked his secretary to come in and make tea.

He said, "The Da Hong Pao tea that someone gave me, the mother tree on Wuyi Mountain only yields less than 10 jin a year. I went to great lengths to get just one liang (50 grams), so this is the only small packet I have. Try it!"

Guan Feng looked at the tea leaves in front of him and clicked his tongue, saying, "This brew must cost over a thousand yuan, right?"

Wang Anguo did the math and said, "About right! Two or three grams would cost over a thousand yuan, and a pound would cost hundreds of thousands. The key is that you might not even be able to buy it."

Guan Feng said, "I've really learned something new today."

The secretary started making tea.

The moment the tea was poured, its rich, sweet aroma filled his nostrils, making Guan Feng reluctant to open it. The tea leaves from this mother tree were indeed incredibly fragrant. Once the tea soup entered his throat, the sweetness went straight up to his throat.

He gave it a thumbs up, saying, "Although I don't know much about tea, this tea tastes really good."

Wang Anguo said, "That makes perfect sense! Nowadays, many tea brands create all sorts of gimmicks to sell at higher prices, but in essence, tea boils down to just two words: taste good! That's the true meaning of drinking tea! Are you starting to drink tea now?"

Guan Feng said, "I drink occasionally."

Wang Anguo took out two cans of green tea from the refrigerator next to him and said, "Take these two cans of Longjing tea back with you. They are tea leaves picked before the Qingming Festival in Meijiawu. Since you drink tea, you can't be too casual. Every year when I collect tea leaves, I will bring you two catties."

Guan Feng didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle!"

Wang Anguo burst into laughter.

Wang Yayue couldn't help but pinch Guan Feng's arm.

This made Wang Anguo laugh out loud twice more.
