Tao Liangchen
Chapter 519 Silent Boast
On the Foquan side, they have agreed to handle it as a special case, quietly transferring a piece of land in the new district in the name of investment promotion for the construction of office buildings.
As for the source of funds for building the new factory and new building, it is the large sum of money that Su Yehao, as the president of the investment department, earned for the company in the US stock market by managing its assets.
The money for Maydi Group is still not cashed out yet.
However, whenever it is needed, they can be notified in advance to cash it out.
The news that Su Yehao manages money for the company and earns more profit than Maydi Group's main business has already spread in certain circles, making many old shareholders of Maydi Group feel extremely melancholy, and they have called to inquire when it will be listed again.
Unfortunately, Maydi Group is not short of money for the time being. On the contrary, Earl Medical Group, managed by Madam Tang, and Sihai International, managed by Su's father, are studying the feasibility of listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the near future due to development needs.
When Su's father was in contact with representatives from Lin'an.
At the same time.
A team of temporarily hired experts boarded a plane to Hong Kong City at an airport outside the Fourth Ring Road.
This team includes both experienced masters from well-known antique shops and veteran experts from the Forbidden City. Rongbaozhai, which Su Yehao had patronized, gave them face after receiving the news and brought out an old authority proficient in antiques, who flew all the way to Hong Kong City.
The purpose of their trip, of course, was to help Su Yehao distinguish the authenticity of the Yuanmingyuan bronze dragon head.
Considering that once cultural relics enter the mainland, it is more troublesome to bring them out again, and a lot of proof procedures need to be handled, so they had to hire them to take a trip.
After these people met, most of them knew each other.
When the plane took off, an old man surnamed Qiao said with a smile: "It's different to work for a rich man in Hong Kong City. In the past, I couldn't bear to pay for a first-class ticket myself."
Others laughed and said:
"What's so rare about first class? The extra money spent on an upgrade is not enough for people to drink a bowl of shark fin soup. What's really amazing is that I don't have a permit to go to Hong Kong City at all. I originally thought I would have to wait for a while, but I didn't expect that after filling in my personal information yesterday, it was expedited today. If I had this speed usually, I wouldn't have missed the Singapore auction, a chance to pick up a Xuande incense burner, just missed it."
"...The pass and visa are not the same. Hong Kong City is their base camp, so the efficiency of handling things is of course faster," Mr. Qiao said.
At this time.
The invited old authority coughed and asked, "I was confused and was picked up at the airport. I was originally going to take my grandson to eat涮羊肉 (shuanyangrou, hotpot with mutton) today. Does anyone know what exactly I'm going to appraise? Could it be that Empress Dowager Cixi's night pearl has been unearthed, or have other good treasures been found?"
"I don't know, no one told me."
"Well, I only know that it is the particularly wealthy Su family, whose reputation is a little worse than the big families in Hong Kong City, but since they can invest in two super large real estate projects in the south, their strength should not be underestimated."
"What do you mean by 'should not be underestimated'? It's almost on the sky, okay? I asked a friend, and that young master Su founded a company, which is now worth more than 30 billion. You think about how many zeros there are, I can't count them."
Everyone was talking.
It was just a trip, almost like going on vacation, not only without spending money, but also earning money. Everyone was chatting very enthusiastically.
In the early years, those who played with collections almost made a fortune, unless they were particularly unlucky.
Expert Mao, who worked in the Forbidden City, asked the flight attendant for a glass of plain water, and then said, "I know a little bit about the specific situation. That young master Su spent 40 million US dollars a few days ago to buy a Van Gogh painting."
Before he finished speaking, someone interrupted and asked, "Appraising Western paintings? Who is good at this, you need to find a foreigner."
"...What I mean is that he is rich and buys things like playing around, maybe he bought something of dubious authenticity at the spring auction and asked us to help him take a look."
"There are so many things, how can you guess, wait until you get to the destination, are you afraid that people won't take it out?"
The discussion continued.
The flight attendant in charge of first class was listening to their conversation with interest. She didn't know any of the people present, but since it involved the famous Su Yehao, one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong City, she always felt that things were not simple.
In fact, it was just appraising a dragon head. Su Yehao only told them to find some experts, and didn't ask about anything else, leaving it to the assistant's office to take care of.
...
After the plane landed.
First-class passengers get off the plane first and go through customs directly by shuttle bus.
Grandpa Tang had promised to receive his grandson in advance, and had arranged three cars in advance to wait at the airport exit. All of them were Rolls-Royces, borrowed from Su Yehao's hi~o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ Garden Hotel.
hi~o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ Garden Hotel includes five Rolls-Royce Silver Spurs and ten Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans for hotel guests to rent.
The assistant picked up these people, first went to the hotel to complete the check-in procedures, rested for a short hour, and came to the lobby again to meet.
Then they took a car straight to the Tang family's old mansion on the Mid-Levels.
Grandpa Tang was probably tired of staying in Australia and had no plans to go out to visit friends in the short term, and had been living in the old mansion.
When the old authority from the Fourth Ring Road and expert Mao from the Forbidden City got out of the car, they saw the huge potted plants in the yard at a glance. One of them exclaimed in surprise: "It is really rare to raise pine trees so well. I am afraid they are several hundred years old, right?"
The assistant in charge of picking up people could speak Mandarin and replied with a smile:
"It was a gift from young master Su, bought back from Japan for several million, and its name is Heavenly Emperor Pine. Mr. Tang is already waiting, his legs are inconvenient, I'll just take you in."
Knowing that Su Yehao had found some industry experts from the mainland, Grandpa Tang also wanted to show off, and waited directly in the study while drinking tea.
Beside him was a Xuande incense burner, burning with top-quality ambergris.
Behind the old man was his proud Bogu shelf, with collections that had been replaced batch after batch, leaving only the best.
Su Yehao's Ru kiln bowl and the newly photographed Qianlong Doucai large vase were also placed on the shelf at the moment.
When the expert team entered the door in a daze, took the elevator upstairs, and saw the objects behind Grandpa Tang, they all felt that they had met an expert.
Even if they work in a museum and have seen more objects, the public's things and private collections are ultimately different.
Grandpa Tang raised the corners of his mouth, put down the Song Dynasty Jianzhan in his hand, and said in awkward Mandarin:
"Sorry everyone, my grandson is busy, so he asked me to receive you on his behalf. Everyone should be like-minded people, sit down and have a cup of tea first? I have a small tea garden myself, and the new tea produced this year has just arrived, the taste is okay."
They are all old and discerning.
The teapot for making tea is Gu Jingzhou's Pine Tree Grape Teapot, which is a set with the cups. It was made in 1959, only forty years ago, but it was fired for the Great Hall of the People in the Fourth Ring Road, which is particularly rare on the market.
Looking at the Jianzhan master cup in Grandpa Tang's hand, it is even rarer. The old authority stretched his neck and took a look, it turned out to be an oil drop Jianzhan, which is even rarer than a hare's fur Jianzhan.
For these people.
Although Grandpa Tang didn't say anything, this study was full of the word "show off."
Especially the two bronzes on the Bogu shelf, even if you have money, you can't collect them. The mainland directly prohibits transactions and buying and selling is illegal.
