Chapter 714: Antiques are favored
Hearing Huo Juncheng's unhappy tone, Grandpa Sun immediately changed his words and said, "Why are you so angry, kid? I was just saying it casually. Come over quickly, I'll be waiting for you here."
Huo Juncheng responded and hung up the phone. For some reason, he felt like he had been tricked.
Arriving at the entrance of the exhibition hall, Huo Juncheng was shocked by the scene before him. What was going on with this red carpet? And who were these people standing there?
Huo Juncheng looked at Gao Hu who was standing beside him and said, "Go down first and ask what's going on."
Gao Hu opened the door and got out of the car. The middle-aged man in the lead immediately walked over with a flattering look on his face.
"You must be Master Huo, right? Master Sun is waiting for you in my office. I'll take you there."
"I'm not Young Master Huo, I'm Young Master Huo's bodyguard. You're making such a big fuss just to welcome our Young Master? Why don't I believe it? What's the purpose?" Gao Hu asked expressionlessly.
The middle-aged man immediately replied, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the director of this exhibition hall. I am here to greet Master Huo. These are all our staff. This is just to express our respect for Master Huo."
Gao Hu looked around and found no danger. He then turned back to the car, opened the door, and told Huo Juncheng inside about the situation outside.
Huo Juncheng got out of the car, and the director immediately walked up to Huo Juncheng and said, "Hello, Master Huo, I am the director here. Mr. Sun is waiting for you in my office now. I will take you there now."
Huo Juncheng nodded and followed the curator to his office. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mr. Sun sitting there leisurely drinking tea.
When Old Master Sun saw Huo Juncheng coming, he said with a smile, "You are finally here, kid. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Huo Juncheng walked to the sofa next to Mr. Sun and sat down, with Gao Hu standing behind him.
"Grandpa Sun, let's get straight to the point and talk about the diamond. You treasure that diamond so much, why would you be willing to give it to me?"
Grandpa Sun's eyes flickered, as if a multitude of emotions flowed through him in an instant. He waved his hand, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "There's no rush for this matter. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Don't you want to talk to Grandpa?"
Grandpa Sun put down his teacup and looked at the curator standing beside him: "Why are you standing there? Sit down too."
The curator immediately sat respectfully next to Mr. Sun.
"I asked you to come here today because, besides the diamond issue, I have another matter I want to discuss with you."
Huo Juncheng frowned, knowing that things were not that simple: "Grandpa Sun, with our relationship, you don't have to beat around the bush. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Hahahaha, fine, I just like your straightforward nature."
Grandpa Sun placed his hand on the curator's shoulder and said, "On your way here, you should have seen the facilities and exhibits of this museum. The facilities here are impeccable and are probably among the best in Haicheng. However, as you know, the antique market is not doing well right now. This museum was established relatively recently, so we haven't received any good antiques yet."
"This shouldn't have anything to do with me, right, Grandpa Sun?" Huo Juncheng interrupted. He had guessed in the car just now that the old man would never give up trying to persuade him so easily.
But he really couldn't think of any reason that could convince himself to exhibit his own antiques in the museum. Of course, the elderly should be respected, but they can't just do whatever they want. They still have to refuse when they should.
"You kid, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. Antiques are just decorations no matter where they are placed. If you keep those antiques in your home, only your family members can appreciate them. But if you put them here, all the citizens of Haicheng can appreciate them. What a wonderful thing."
The curator immediately agreed, "That's right, Master Huo. Think about it carefully. What Mr. Sun said makes perfect sense. And don't worry, we won't use your antiques for nothing. I'll give you a very high storage price every month. And I can assure you that these antiques are only on display here, not recycled. You can take them back anytime you want."
Old Master Sun looked at Huo Juncheng and said, "Listen, what a suitable condition. Come, tell him how much money you are prepared to give him every month."
"Fifty million."
"Boy, this is a huge expense. And instead of buying your family's antiques, I'll just store them. You'll get 50 million every month. If it were me, I'd agree right now."
Huo Juncheng was constantly struggling with his thoughts. He really didn't want to agree. After all, he wasn't short of money. But he knew in his heart that if he didn't agree, Mr. Sun would definitely not let him go, and he would have to waste the whole day here.
Thinking of Lin Yilan, he compromised. After all, it was not a losing business. He could make 300 million in a month, so why not do it?
"Grandpa Sun, since the conditions are so generous, and you're asking for my blessing, I can only agree."
Seeing Huo Juncheng agreed, Old Master Sun immediately smiled happily: "That's right, now that we've reached an agreement, the rest of the matter is no longer my responsibility. You guys will handle the signing of the contract and so on. Come and try this tea, it tastes very good."
"Grandpa Sun, the antiques have been settled, but there's been no mention of the diamonds."
After hearing what Huo Juncheng said, Old Man Sun immediately started to play coy: "Let's talk about this matter later. I'm old and can't handle so many things every day. Let's have some tea first."
Seeing Mr. Sun start drinking tea, Huo Juncheng felt helpless. He now understood that the diamond was just a cover to trick him into talking about antiques.
However, Huo Juncheng did not expect that Mr. Sun would act so quickly. As soon as they reached an agreement, Mr. Sun sent people to their house to move the antiques.
Grandma Huo, who was watching TV at home, heard someone knocking on the door and immediately asked the nanny to open it.
As the door opened, a group of men in black rushed in. The leader seemed to say to Grandma Huo, "We were sent by President Huo to deliver the antiques."
After that, they started moving things. Grandma Huo didn't know what was going on and immediately panicked: "Don't touch our things first. Who are you? Why did Juncheng send you to move things?"
The man replied, "We don't know the details either. You can ask him yourself when the time comes."
Grandma Huo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "What's going on?" "Is their family going bankrupt?" "Oh, Yilan, Yilan should know what's going on."
While muttering, Grandma Huo went upstairs to call the sleeping Lin Yilan.
As soon as she opened the door, she found that Lin Yilan was receiving an IV drip. She didn't want to wake her up, but she was too anxious about the situation offline, so she woke up the sleeping Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan sat up in a daze from her sleep. Her head hurt at the moment and she didn't know why her grandmother wanted to wake her up.
"Grandma, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
