Chapter 1060 A Stroll
The Olympic Games are about to open.
Su Yehao's friends and acquaintances are flocking to the capital.
Baoya Jun and Zhugan brought their families over to say hello, and then agreed to climb the Great Wall together.
Su Yehao, of course, didn't want to join in the fun.
There are too many tourists in the capital recently, and almost all the hotels are fully booked. Going to scenic spots will inevitably lead to crowds of people. The summer heat is terrible. The smell of sweat is overwhelming, and all you can see are heads. It is not a good time to travel.
Yin Liuli also brought her daughter and stayed at the Four Seas International Hotel in the CBD. This hotel is known as a seven-star standard, and the interior is particularly luxurious.
He still remembers the first time he came here in the 1990s. Many places near the CBD were just flat land.
Now, the Four Seas complex project, including shopping malls and office buildings, has been put into operation. Su Yehao took time to visit his daughter and brought her a mascot as a gift.
It is worth mentioning that.
Miss Vera's design of the chubby panda was elected as the Olympic mascot with the highest number of votes in the online voting session.
Considering that the voting website belongs to Su Yehao's company, and he has specifically greeted people... whether there is a problem is another matter. Anyway, the image of the chubby panda is indeed very cute, and the surrounding products sell well all over the world, especially some limited editions that are regarded as collectibles and speculated to sky-high prices.
Zhao Yimeng also came to the capital with her parents, sister, and He Shaofan, and stayed at her family's Donghuang Global Hotel.
Because she reminded him that her family was already suspicious, Su Yehao didn't go to see her to avoid being caught again.
Vera, as the designer of the chubby panda, also came to the capital this time, but was arranged to stay in another Four Seas Royal Mansion Hotel.
About four years ago, the famous Prince Gong's Mansion was taken down by Father Su and transformed into a super-luxury hotel for business.
Others couldn't help but envy him.
At that time, Four Seas International Group acquired more than 70 billion RMB of land in a year, which was approved and released as a reward.
People always like to say how good the business environment is in Europe and the United States, but in fact, when the business grows to a certain scale, they will find that the business environment in the mainland is actually a little more comfortable than in Europe and the United States, mainly because many things are easy to negotiate.
On the other hand, in the United States, there are not only too many restrictions, but also various audits and malicious lawsuits. Some competitors will do anything to seize the market.
The mainland is different. When it comes to the scale of the Su family, as long as it is not too much, they can always turn a blind eye to many minor problems.
For example, there are several plots of land in the capital that were acquired in 1997 and 1998, which clearly stipulated a time limit for construction. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the land is still land, and the pit is still a pit, and almost no one cares.
Considering that the Su family has invested trillions of RMB in the mainland, they would be stupid to hold on to such minor problems. If they learn from the three brothers in South Asia and trap investors to death, they will never become rich.
Vera, who stayed at Prince Gong's Mansion, asked her parents to help take care of her daughter, while she was busy participating in activities and promoting her personal art exhibition.
Su Yehao just couldn't find time to see her, so the two chatted on the tAt chat software...
……
When Grandpa Tang took a private jet to meet them, Su Yehao took time to take his grandfather to Liulichang for a stroll.
Wearing a duckbill cap and a mask, a short-sleeved shirt, and cool shorts, Su Yehao pushed his grandfather's wheelchair in the crowd, inconspicuous at all.
It can be said that after repeated rectification, the local public security has been very good recently.
Whenever there are scenic spots, people are arranged to be on duty. The old men after retirement also wear red ribbons on their sleeves. Under the scorching summer heat, they guide tourists with sweat all over their faces.
He came to Rongbaozhai with ease.
There was a threshold at the entrance of the store. Two bodyguards emerged from the crowd and directly carried his grandfather and the wheelchair into the store.
Su Yehao saw that there were many tourists in the store. The old shopkeeper who had received him before was sitting at the tea table drinking tea. He directly sat down in front of him.
The old shopkeeper was puzzled, thinking why the young man in front of him was so rude. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Su Yehao pull down his mask.
The shopkeeper's face instantly blossomed with a smile, and he cupped his hands and said:
"Rare guest! There are people everywhere on the street these days. If the young master has any needs, just say hello, and we will deliver the things directly to your door. Why bother you to come here in person? Last time there was a painting by Xu Beihong called *Jiuzhou Wushi Le Gengyun*, does the young master still like it?"
"Hanging in my house, it's very good."
Su Yehao introduced, "I have nowhere to go, so I brought my grandfather out for a walk. Do you have anything good in the store now?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I was just thinking about contacting you when I'm not busy. The economy has been sluggish recently, and someone has taken out another *Wan Shan Hong Bian* to sell. The young master has already bought three of them. This is the fourth one. There are only seven paintings in the entire series."
The old shopkeeper immediately got up, greeted Grandpa Tang with a smile, and invited them to the VIP room in the backyard, re-brewing a pot of good tea.
Grandpa Tang had just been heated up and felt much better after blowing on the air conditioner. He told him, "I don't have any research on modern art. My grandson said that there are many treasures in your store. Take them all out and let me see."
"Okay, I've already asked someone to get it. Wait a few minutes. There are many tourists these days, and it's annoying to be asked around. Except for a few items worth millions, the rest have been put in the safe, and I'll bring them right away."
Hearing this.
Su Yehao sighed and said, "There are not only many people here, but many people everywhere. The entrance of my house has also become a scenic spot. Whether I go to Houhai or Shichahai, I always have to take a walk around the entrance of my house."
The old shopkeeper said with a smile:
"To be honest, I've been there too. I heard that the door nails on the young master's house are made of pure gold, and he also asked the masters from the south to carve patterns and inlay gold threads, and even use rosewood to make the door panels, which are so exquisite that they look like works of art. If you take it apart and send it to our auction house, it can be sold for at least five million."
The last sentence was purely a joke, and no one would think that he would lack those five million.
Su Yehao suddenly realized and told him:
"So that's the problem. Pure gold is just a rumor. The copper is only plated with a layer of gold, which is not valuable. I'm also afraid that someone will be thinking about digging out my door, so how could I put pure gold door nails outside."
The old shopkeeper was afraid that they would get impatient while waiting, so he found a topic to talk about a few more words.
Soon.
Several shop assistants came over with boxes, one of which was Wen Zhengming's *Zuiweng Pavilion*, plus a Song Dynasty Jian kiln oil-drop glaze bowl.
Guessing that Su Yehao might not be interested in these, the old shopkeeper told him:
"The good things in our store are already in the young master's house, but I heard that there is a pair of Yuan Dynasty blue and white cloud dragon pattern elephant ear bottles in the UK, which are the only two Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelains with definite records, and they definitely belong to the national treasure level. If you are interested, our company can help you inquire about it. In the past, people thought that there was no blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, and the reason why Yuan blue and white porcelain was discovered was because of their existence."
Su Yehao heard that it was in the UK, and he was not very interested.
However, Grandpa Tang's eyes lit up and said, "The two bottles with words on them? I saw them in the UK, but I didn't hear that they were going to be sold."
"The news was just released a while ago. I think it should be because of the stock market crash and the collectors need funds, and the prices of domestic artworks have been relatively high in recent years..."
After the old shopkeeper finished speaking.
Su Yehao and his grandfather looked at each other, and immediately understood what the old man meant.
Su Yehao said helplessly, "Okay, as long as grandpa likes it, no matter how much it costs, I will buy it to honor you..."
