The news of buying Van Gogh's painting wasn't kept secret and made the news that day.

As the news fermented, even Southeast Asia, the mainland, Japan, South Korea, and other places, extensively publicized the news of Su Yehao buying the painting.

In an instant, the reputation of "Under the Stormy Sky" was hyped up several levels.

At least hundreds of millions of people learned about this work of Van Gogh as a result. From a certain point of view, it can be considered an increase in value.

The reason why a batch of oil paintings represented by "Mona Lisa" and "Sunflowers" are valuable, in addition to their artistic value, isn't it because their popularity is very high, and fame is often linked to market value?

Compared to buying the painting itself, people paid more attention to Su Yehao himself. While everyone marveled at his youth and wealth, because of the scandals, they once again put Xiao Nizi and Jiang Yu and the others on the newspaper, and even Linda Yun was mistakenly injured.

His reputation gradually grew.

He couldn't go to public places often, and was always easily stared at by paparazzi wherever he went.

So, Baoya Jun and He Shaofan and the others called, clamoring that such a big deal as buying a painting must be celebrated. Su Yehao once again bought fresh ingredients and had an outdoor barbecue at home.

Mainly beef, authentic top-quality Kobe Wagyu, different from the OEM products pulled from Australia to Japan for a period of time, and also matched with some seafood such as oysters and abalone.

In addition to Baoya Jun, He Shaofan, and Zhugan, these three bad friends, Jiang Yu also called several students from the University of Hong Kong, and Zhao Yimeng also came to show her face under the pretext of admiring Van Gogh's paintings...

At this moment.

Several alpacas that had been cleaned and had fluffy hair cautiously approached the barbecue grill.

The charcoal fire scorched the meat on the grill, the smoke was blown away by the wind, and the aroma was overflowing.

Not far away, Baoya Jun and the three of them were pestering the girls Jiang Yu had called.

The friends Jiang Yu called were all members of the University of Hong Kong Dance Club. Their temperament and appearance were very good, and their figures were all slender.

Although they seemed a little restrained when they came to Su Yehao's mansion, this kind of shyness made He Shaofan and the other three so excited that they howled, and immediately played the friendship card with Jiang Yu, hoping she could help introduce them.

Of course, Jiang Yu would not agree to this request.

If she introduced her friends to the three of them, she would lose one friend for every one she introduced. If they were enemies or the like, she could push them into the fire pit.

The weather was a little cold.

Zhao Yimeng wore a thin gray sweater. Her relationship with Jiang Yu was very good. She felt that today was like an old classmate reunion, and she was so happy that she drank a few more glasses of cocktails.

Walking to Su Yehao's side, Miss Zhao asked with a smile, holding a wine glass: "What have you been busy with lately? I chatted with Vera online the day before yesterday, and she told me that she met you in New York."

"Yes, she painted a portrait of Jiang Yu, and I happened to meet her, so I bought the painting and brought it back to Jiang Yu."

Su Yehao was wearing an apron pretending to be a chef, and continued to say to Zhao Yimeng: "If you ask me what I've been busy with lately, there are so many busy things, new projects everywhere, my head is a few sizes bigger. How's the land acquisition on Taipa Island that you mentioned last time going?"

"It's okay, my parents mean that it might be more convenient to take the land after the year-end celebration. Now those white people don't do anything, and they don't have the idea of ​​serious management anymore."

Zhao Yimeng took a sip of wine and said again: "I haven't seen Vera for a long time, is she okay over there?"

"I had a meal with her, and she seemed to be fine. She's still so beautiful. This girl is an artist, and her ideas are different from ordinary people. She's in New York, working with her tutor to create murals for a church. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask her which church it was, otherwise, if she becomes famous one day, I can go and scrape the walls and steal her paintings."

Su Yehao said jokingly.

Miss Vera is beautiful, and Miss Zhao in front of her is just as good.

He used to have some ideas, but recently he has been put in his place by several girls in turn, and he really can't take care of it.

For example, Nong Qingying, this time when she returned to Hong Kong from Silicon Valley, because she was with Yin Liuli, she couldn't even make a detour to Tokyo to visit Little Tiger.

After Zhao Yimeng heard this, she smiled and said, "Really just a meal? Vera is too simple and doesn't have any intentions. Don't bully her."

"What are you saying? Who did I bully?"

Su Yehao put a piece of steak on a plate, sprinkled it with black pepper and salt, and handed it to Zhao Yimeng.

Glancing at Jiang Yu who was chatting with her friends, Zhao Yimeng said, "You know who you're bullying. Some people have been acting like their souls have been snatched away lately, and they won't even go shopping with me when I ask them to. It's obvious that there's something wrong."

"...It's almost the twenty-first century, everyone is free to fall in love, why do you worry so much?"

...

Baoya Jun came over to get meat with an empty plate, enthusiastically put his arm around Su Yehao's shoulder, pointed at Zhao Yimeng, and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Wow, you guys are killing me, flirting in front of Nangong Tian, ​​leaving us here to whisper. I don't care, since I found out about this, it won't be over without a hush money of one hundred and eight thousand."

Zhao Yimeng chuckled and told him:

"What flirting, can't Kobe beef stop your mouth? I'm planning to have my mom hire bodyguards from your security company. Do you want me to change my mind?"

"Don't! Please don't! Everyone is an alumnus, chatting is normal, you definitely have nothing to do with each other."

Baoya Jun looked at Su Yehao, his eyes were almost like looking at the God of Wealth, and said happily:

"I have to thank my brother Hao for this. Ever since he was almost kidnapped last time, my family's security company's business has been so good that we don't have enough manpower, and we even have to hire retired people from the mainland. Drawing a little commission from each employee is simply more profitable than collecting rent. Unfortunately, such a good business was handed over to my second sister by my dad, and I'm still tight-fisted. I'm far worse than you two."

Zhao Yimeng joked:

"Compared to Ah Hao, aren't you an old man hanging himself, asking for trouble? Now who doesn't know that he is the richest among the younger generation in Hong Kong, even Li Ergongzi, who is almost a round older than us, can't compare."

Su Yehao did not comment on this. The Li family made a lot of windfall from the opportunities of the withdrawal of British capital in recent years, and they were not seriously injured in the financial crisis.

According to what he knew, in addition to Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa, the Li family also made a lot of money through investment. The actual assets were much more than they appeared on the surface.

Even if he catches up for two years through the Internet bubble, he is still a gap away from the Li family.

The gap between them is estimated to be tens of billions of dollars. It is no wonder that they are called the No. 1 wealthy family in Hong Kong, but just talking about Li Ergongzi, Su Yehao is confident that he can compete with him, but the two sides have no grievances and have not had the opportunity to contact each other.

Looking at Baoya Jun, Su Yehao said to him:

"You're busy messing around all day long, just playing and playing. If I were your dad, I wouldn't dare to hand over the business to you. I've been in business for two years, and you've been busy playing for two years. Hurry up and get your act together, there's still a chance to make a small fortune with you."

Everyone is a friend, and they seem to be on an equal footing, but in fact, the gap has already been widened.

Baoya Jun did not think that there was anything wrong with Su Yehao saying this, but his eyes lit up, and he asked:

"Can you really make me rich? Okay, I'll quit drinking tomorrow, and I'll never hang around with the girls again. Brother Hao, you point east, and I will never go west..."
