"Hmm..." Old Master Lin thought for a moment and then replied, "Because this painting of ten thousand horses galloping is recorded in history as one of the Ming Dynasty's most prized works."
Furthermore, this may be the only work preserved in the world.
Therefore, its value and rarity are naturally much higher.
In my estimation, this painting is worth around 600 million.
This price is even higher than Ye Feng estimated.
He originally estimated that, based on the current market conditions, it should be around 500 million.
Without hesitation, Zhang Dan said to Ye Feng, "Young man, I'll add another ten million to the six hundred million and sell this painting to everyone to make friends."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Chairman Zhang, the main purpose of our visit is to acquire your Cyclone Express."
If you agree, then this painting can be sold to you.
Zhang Dan frowned deeply, but a surge of joy welled up inside him.
It really means our luck has turned around.
He was just wondering where to find a sucker to take over his business when, unexpectedly, someone delivered themselves to his doorstep.
Although he was very happy inside, he pretended to be in a difficult position on the surface: "This is not really feasible."
My company has been around for over ten years, and I've invested a lot of money and emotion into it.
I'm really reluctant to sell it.
Ye Feng: "Chairman Zhang, let's not beat around the bush. Since I want to buy your company, I must have found out everything."
To my knowledge, your company has been losing money for one or two years in a row.
They've probably contacted quite a few big bosses recently who want to sell, but no one seems willing to take over.
Zhang Danxin's regard for Ye Feng has increased considerably.
But she still said, "If that's the case, why did you buy such a mess?"
Ye Feng exuded an aura of confidence: "I am confident that I can make the company a company with a market value of hundreds of billions!"
Zhang Dan understood.
He thought Ye Feng was the kind of arrogant rich young master.
He just wanted to buy some junk and turn it into a profit. Maybe that would earn him some respect from his family?
He had seen many people like this, but the outcomes were never good.
However, this was none of his business; he was naturally very happy that someone had taken over.
After some back-and-forth negotiations, the price was finally settled.
Cyclone Express was sold to Ye Feng for a total price of 980 million yuan.
The painting of ten thousand galloping horses was worth 610 million yuan, and another 370 million yuan was paid.
As a result, Ye Feng only had 170 million yuan left.
With such a small amount of money, I don't feel very secure.
I still need to speed things up and make money.
You need at least five or six billion in available funds.
The contract and such took more than an hour to process, and after confirming that there were no problems, it was signed and stamped.
Even if Cyclone Express were to come under Ye Feng's name.
Zhang Dan also sent a notice to Xuanfeng Express, saying that there was a new boss.
Then he took his temporary secretary, Tang Shishi, to visit the headquarters in the Demon City.
Whirlwind rented an office floor in the city center, with a monthly rent of 200,000.
In the car, Tang Shishi snorted and said, "You're just a stupid rich kid with money to burn. Buying such a piece of junk is completely useless."
Like Zhang Dan, she thought Ye Feng was the kind of person who was rich but incompetent, and she looked down on him.
Ye Feng wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?"
Tang Shishi: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
Ye Feng said to himself, "Let's bet on whether I can turn a profit within three months."
If I can do that, then you have to be my temporary girlfriend for a month.
If I can't do that, then I'll never bother you again, and I'll always be extremely respectful whenever I see you. What do you say?
Tang Shishi was intrigued, and asked uncertainly, "You're not lying?"
Ye Feng: "I can swear."
"Great!" Tang Shishi perked up. "I'll take your bet!"
She was confident that she would win.
He was already fantasizing about the day when Ye Feng would treat him with utmost respect.
My mood instantly improved.
Upon arriving at the headquarters of Cyclone Express, the executives had already been informed of the news.
As soon as Ye Feng got out of the car, he saw a huge banner that read: Welcome new parents.
The executives stood side by side, their expressions very respectful.
This kind of thing happens in every industry, no matter the sector.
"Greetings, boss."
The executives shouted in unison.
Ye Feng nodded with a smile and shook hands with them one by one.
To Ye Feng's surprise, the general manager was actually a great beauty.
And judging from her appearance, she should be of mixed race.
She possesses both the charm of an Eastern woman and the figure of a woman from another country, the two blending together perfectly.
She's not very old, probably around twenty-two or twenty-three.
Ye Feng wondered if this was Zhang Dan's secretary.
After all, a general manager this young must either have incredibly strong abilities or have exceptional connections.
Ye Feng thought it should be the second one.
"Hello boss, I'm Mo Qiqi."
She wore a professional smile.
Although they seemed very close, Ye Feng felt a cold indifference that kept him at arm's length.
Ye Feng nodded: "Okay, let's go up there and take a look."
Upon entering the company, Ye Feng took a tour.
There are not many employees, only about 30 people at the moment.
Moreover, Ye Feng could tell at a glance that most of them were just pretending to be busy, but actually had nothing to do.
After the tour, Ye Feng asked Tang Shishi to sit in the reception room.
He himself went into Mo Qiqi's office.
"Boss, have some tea." Mo Qiqi brought over a cup of tea.
"Hmm." Ye Feng looked at her: "Let's not beat around the bush, we young people?"
I only have one question: did you get this position through your own abilities or through connections?
If it's about getting promoted through connections, then Ye Feng will definitely support his own people to get promoted.
Mo Qiqi smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "It was through connections, but it wasn't something I wanted myself."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Mo Qiqi explained in detail, and Ye Feng suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that she came to this company right after graduating.
On my first day at work, Zhang Dan took a liking to me.
Then he began a relentless pursuit.
However, Mo Qiqi did not succumb to money.
Zhang Dan is also very skilled at picking up girls; if one trick doesn't work, he'll try another.
He kept promoting Mo Qiqi.
In just one year, she was promoted to the position of general manager.
He wanted to win her over this way, but Mo Qiqi never gave in.
Ye Feng: "The company has just been acquired, and I need someone who is obedient and capable."
If you can do that, then I'll keep you here.
Mo Qiqi opened her mouth and said something that greatly surprised Ye Feng...
