The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Then please pick a time and we will make a grand appearance. However, when Han Chunming and the others see you, they probably won't know how to blame me."

Zhou Chen said with a smile. He was also looking forward to seeing how shocked those people would be by then.

On his 50th birthday, Zhou Chen couldn't persuade Han Chunyan, so he had to call relatives from both the Zhou and Han families together to celebrate his birthday together.

Because of this birthday, Zhou Chen received quite a few gifts, but Zhou Chen was also very generous. He returned all the gifts in other ways.

Shortly after his birthday, Zhou Chen received a call from Yang Huajian, inviting him to dinner together. He did not refuse and agreed.

However, when he went to the banquet, he was surprised to find that there was another person besides Yang Huajian.

Li Yuan.

Li Yuan is Su Meng's classmate and best friend. Over the years, she has been in contact with Zhou Chen and other educated youth. When Zhou Chen got married, she also gave a gift.

Seeing Zhou Chen, Li Yuan greeted him warmly: "Zhou Chen, please take a seat. If it weren't for Yang Huajian's help, I might not be able to see you, a busy person like you."

Zhou Chen politely replied: "No, no matter how busy I am, I have to give face to my old classmates and friends."

The three of them sat down and the waiter started serving the food.

At the dinner table, Li Yuan took the initiative to say, "Zhou Chen, I asked Yang Huajian to invite you today. Actually, a leader in Fangshan who is responsible for attracting investment asked me to help invite some powerful entrepreneurs to invest in Fangshan. This time, they offered several pieces of land in Fangshan with particularly good locations."

"I see that your Chenxing Supermarket and Chenxing Plaza don't have branches in Fangshan. I think this is a good opportunity for you. If you like one or several plots of land, I can guarantee that I will give you the best discount."

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Chen expectantly. She said she was here to help, but in fact, if the investment could be reached, she would also benefit a lot. This was also the biggest reason why she put aside her face and tried to recruit people from everywhere.

"Hey, hey, Li Yuan, this is not right. When you talked to me, you just said that you would give me the best discount possible. Why is it that when it comes to Zhou Chen, you must get the biggest discount? Aren't you treating me differently?"

Yang Huajian said to Li Yuan with pretended dissatisfaction.

Li Yuan glared at him. "You're the only one who talks too much. Zhou Chen and I are discussing this. Don't interrupt. Zhou Chen, what do you think?"

Zhou Chen neither agreed nor refused, but just said: "It's easy to talk about a supermarket, but if we want to build a plaza, then the location and area will be very demanding. If it's convenient, can you give me a piece of land information first so that I can study it and see if it's suitable?"

Li Yuan agreed without a second thought: "No problem, I will contact them immediately after I return and I promise to give you a reply as soon as possible."

Chenxing Supermarket is fine, the key is Chenxing Plaza. She knows that investing in a Chenxing Plaza now would cost at least hundreds of millions, not to mention how much commercial value it will bring to the surrounding areas once Chenxing Plaza is built.

If others were to invest, even if they were willing to buy the land, most of them would build factories. Even if they wanted to build commercial housing, it would probably take a long time before construction could start.

But Zhou Chen is different. If he buys the land, he will definitely start construction at a very fast speed.

That's why her attitude towards Zhou Chen is different from that towards others.

People like Yang Huajian and Han Chunming are considered the richest among them, but their net worth is estimated to be just over 100 million. Their companies may make them richer, but compared with Zhou Chen, there is no comparison.

Besides, her good friend Su Meng is very wealthy, but it is hard to say whether the assets of her uncle and others can exceed 100 million. They are not even comparable to Han Chunming and Yang Huajian, let alone Zhou Chen.

The conversation between the three went quite smoothly. When they left, Li Yuan held Zhou Chen's hand reluctantly, unwilling to leave. Her burning eyes made Zhou Chen shiver.

"Zhou Chen, it seems that your charm is still as strong as before. If you had just given a little hint, Li Yuan would have gone with you tonight."

Yang Huajian saw what just happened. After Li Yuan left, he immediately joked to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said unhappily: "Get lost."

"We are so familiar with each other, don't act so noble with me. Even though Li Yuan is over 40 years old, her looks and figure are really a beauty. She is definitely more attractive than those young girls. Why are you not tempted at all?"

There was no lack of envy in Yang Huajian's tone, because apart from being a little older, Li Yuan's conditions in other aspects were really not bad. She was definitely a middle-aged woman who still had charm.

"Let me tell you, she and her man have separated a long time ago. Even if you provoke her, you don't have to worry about her relying on you. This woman is very smart."

Zhou Chen said, "I'm wondering if you've run out of things to say. Are you thinking about these things all day long?"

Yang Huajian said with disdain: "Tsk, why are you pretending? To be honest, I admire you and Han Chunming. You two are indeed a family. Chunming has been chasing after Su Meng all his life. As for you, you had many choices back then, but in the end you chose Chunming's sister and stayed with her all your life. Do you know how we describe you two?"

"Chunming, we feel sorry for him, but we all think you are a really good man."

"In a word, there are very few people in this world who are as loyal to their feelings as you two."

After hearing what Yang Huajian said, Zhou Chen sighed inwardly. He was not a good man at all. The number of women he had had was more than his hands and feet added together.

If this can be considered a perfect man, then more than 90% of the men in this world can be considered perfect men.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first."

"do not."

Yang Huajian quickly grabbed Zhou Chen and said, "Something's wrong. It's really wrong."

Zhou Chen stopped and asked, "Tell me, what else is there?"

Yang Huajian rubbed his hands and said in a flattering manner: "Last time I saw so many good things in Chunming's museum, many of which you left with him. I also heard him say that you have many better things, more than his collection."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Chen was not curious about Yang Huajian's idea of ​​collecting, because in the TV series, Yang Huajian also started collecting in the end, but he was far inferior to Han Chunming. He didn't know how many times he was cheated by Cheng Jianjun and Meng Xiaoxing.

Yang Huajian licked his face and said, "I just want to broaden my horizons and see your treasures. After all, we have been good friends and brothers for decades. Han Chunming is a stingy guy. I believe you are much more generous than him."

"Really interested?"

Zhou Chen did not refuse because he did not doubt Yang Huajian's character. Even if Yang Huajian knew that he had good things, he would definitely not tell others. Moreover, he was not worried even if it was told.

As a big collector, Han Chunming dared to put his treasures in a museum for people to appreciate. How could he be so stingy as not to show them to others?

Han Chunming had been to his collection room many times and even took two items secretly. However, Zhou Chen did not bother with him because he always kept the most important things to him in his system backpack.

Not only Han Chunming, but also Grandpa Guan and Hou Polan have seen his collection, and Han Chunyan would go to clean it every once in a while.

"Interested, of course I'm interested." Yang Huajian nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, forget about tonight. Tomorrow, if you are free, come to my house."

"Then you must be free, so let's put it this way."

"Ah."

This copy is about to end, and the next copy is being considered. If you have any good suggestions, please raise them.

Chapter 679: Gambling, Treasure Selection in the Treasure Room

The next day!

Zhou Chen looked at Yang Huajian in front of him with a frown, while Yang Huajian smiled at Zhou Chen with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Zhou Chen, this is not my fault. I was discussing business with Su Meng and the others today and had dinner together. When they heard that I was coming to your place to see the baby, they insisted on coming with me. I couldn't refuse, right?"

Yesterday Zhou Chen agreed to let him come to see the collection, and he was happy all day. Today, when he was having dinner with Su Meng and Li Yuan, he couldn't control himself and said it out loud.

The result was of course obvious. Su Meng, the "expert" who was determined not to lose to Han Chunming, had to come along to see the world.

Su Meng didn't say anything, but Li Yuan looked at Zhou Chen with a smile and asked, "Why, Chairman Zhou doesn't welcome us? Or do you have a good baby and don't want us to pay attention?"

Now that things have come to this, what else can Zhou Chen say?

"No, that's not the case. We've been classmates and friends for so many years. Come in, please."

Zhou Chen and a few others walked into the house.

"what do you want to drink?"

"Zhou Chen, stop busying yourself. We didn't come here just to drink. Take us to your treasure room."

Because he was very familiar with Zhou Chen and had a very good relationship with him, Yang Huajian did not have too many concerns and spoke directly to Zhou Chen.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You're all here now. Can I let you make this trip in vain?"

Zhou Chen was speechless at Yang Huajian's impatience, but he still did as Yang Huajian said and did not go to pour water. Instead, he took them upstairs.

Several people followed Zhou Chen upstairs, and Su Meng asked, "Zhou Chen, isn't my second sister at home today?"

"She's out with the kids."

The eldest son Zhou Xuanyu is in his third year of high school this year. He finishes school late at night, and since he does not live on campus, Han Chunyan is responsible for picking him up and dropping him off in the morning and evening.

"Zhou Chen, your eldest child is going to take the college entrance exam soon, right? Among all of us, your eldest child should be the oldest, right?"

Speaking of children, Yang Huajian asked casually.

Among this group of educated youth, most of them got married relatively late. Those of them who interacted frequently, except for Lu Hong who got married early, the eldest son of Zhou Chen's family was the oldest.

"Yes."

Zhou Chen brought them to the door of his treasure room. After buying the villa, Zhou Chen specially hired someone to renovate it and built a large storage room upstairs as his treasure room.

When Zhou Chen opened the door and turned on the light, Yang Huajian, Su Meng and Li Yuan walked in quickly. When they saw that the room of about 60 to 70 square meters was filled with antiques, they were all shocked.

Because all kinds of antique objects are placed together, they look very special. Under the light, they appear very beautiful, and the hanging calligraphy and paintings are also unique.

At a cursory glance, there are at least one or two hundred objects in the room. Although not as good as Han Chunming's Yaxuan Museum, it is also extremely extraordinary.

Yang Huajian was dazzled by the sight: "Zhou Chen, is this all your collection?"

"Of course not. Some of them are more private and are not here, so I won't show them to you."

"Is there anything more precious? You are so mean to hide the best from us."

Zhou Chen explained: "It's not what you think. Although the items not here are also precious, they are not necessarily more precious than the items here. The main reason is that those items have some special meaning to me, and some are too big and inconvenient, so they are not placed here. In fact, there are several items here that are rare treasures, but ordinary people may not be able to see it."

"You underestimated me."

Yang Huajian pointed at Zhou Chen and said, "Although I entered the industry relatively late, I have learned a lot recently, not to mention that Su Meng is here. Su Meng is also an expert in this field. You can look down on me, but you can't look down on Su Meng."

Su Meng, who was flattered, had a smile on her face, but she still said modestly: "What kind of expert am I, Zhou Chen, don't listen to Yang Huajian's nonsense. Compared with you, we are not experts at all."

Zhou Chen said: "Don't be so modest. Although experience is important in this field, talent is equally important. When it comes to looking at things, it's your eyesight that counts."

"You guy, if you can talk, just say more. I like to hear you talk like this the most." Yang Huajian laughed.

"Stop flattering me. You've been thinking about this for a long time. The things are all here. Go ahead and take a look if you want."

Looking at the dazzling array of antiques, Yang Huajian suddenly asked, "Can we get started?"

Zhou Chen did not refuse: "Yes, but you still have to be careful, don't touch calligraphy and paintings."

"Don't worry, we are measured."

After getting permission, Yang Huajian and the other two began to walk around the room and look at the objects one by one.

Yang Huajian and Su Meng were watching very attentively and with great interest, but Li Yuan was not as interested as them. She just glanced at it for a few seconds and then came over to chat with Zhou Chen.

After looking for a while, Yang Huajian felt dazzled and his heart was restless.

"Zhou Chen, are all the things you have here real?"

But Zhou Chen's answer was beyond his expectations: "No, only half of the things here are authentic, and the rest are fakes. But even if they are fakes, they are not ordinary fakes and have considerable value. Otherwise, I would not put them here."

“Are there any fakes here?”

Su Meng and Yang Huajian were both shocked when they heard this.

Because the two of them have looked at many items so far, and they can't tell that any of them are fake.

Zhou Chen said: "Everything I put here is genuine and of high value. There are 208 pieces in total. Of course, they can't all be real, but even if they are fake, they can definitely be mistaken for the real thing. To tell you the truth, even Han Chunming and Paolan Hou have seen their pieces here."

Yang Huajian was even more shocked after hearing this: "Is this true? I know Han Chunming's ability. How could he have fooled you?"

Zhou Chen said: "What's so strange about this? No matter how powerful a person is, he will make mistakes sometimes. Even Master Guan has made mistakes many times in his life."

In the antique business, unless you really have golden eyes, mistakes are bound to happen.

Han Chunming is just the protagonist, who is deified in the TV series. As far as Zhou Chen knows, Han Chunming has been fooled many times.

It is not just modern people who know how to forge things. The wisdom of the ancients should never be underestimated. That is why some forgeries are quite old and difficult to distinguish.

“That’s really interesting.”

Yang Huajian was more interested, and so was Su Meng. She had just broken up with Han Chunming and was thinking about surpassing Han Chunming. Now, when she heard that Han Chunming had also taken a liking to Zhou Chen, she was actually somewhat happy. It seemed that Han Chunming was not omnipotent.

Yang Huajian's eyes turned to some of the objects that interested him and liked: "Zhou Chen, I like a lot of the things you have here. Considering our friendship over the years, can you give me a few of them?"

Zhou Chen snorted coldly: "I know you have bad intentions. Seeing my things is real, but wanting my things is your ultimate goal."

Yang Huajian spread his hands: "You can't blame me for this. Your items are so good that I can't bear to take my eyes off them. Just give me a few. You have so many good things anyway. At most, if we do business in the future, I'll give you a little profit."

"I want your little bit of profit."

Zhou Chen looked at Yang Huajian and asked, "I've already told you that half of the items here are real and half are fake. You still want to buy them? Aren't you afraid of buying fakes?"

Yang Huajian said, "Don't worry about it. As long as you are willing to sell it, even if I bought a fake, it is my own fault. It has nothing to do with you. Just tell me whether you are willing to give it up or not."

Zhou Chen held his chin. Many of the things here were indeed precious, but for him, they were not indispensable.
