Hong Kong Movie: Traveling through Hung Hing, you want me to do good deeds?

At six o'clock the next morning, Shen Dong and Li Jie went downstairs for morning exercise.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Sun Qingyuan sitting on the sofa in the lobby.

There were two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, sitting next to them.

Shen Dong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Young Master Sun, are you here to cause trouble for me?"

Sun Qingyuan didn't say anything, he just walked up to Shen Dong, and knelt down with a plop.

This operation made Shen Dong confused and he asked, "What are you doing?"

Sun Qingyuan raised his arm and slapped himself twice, saying, "Mr. Shen, I am the bastard. I am so bold and lustful. Please forgive me this time."

Shen Dong knew who he was and he immediately understood why Sun Qingyuan did this.

He turned his head towards the middle-aged couple.

Both of them looked unhappy.

It would be strange for parents to have a good face when their son is kowtowing and apologizing to others.

Sun Aiguo took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Shen, I am Sun Aiguo, the father of Sun Qingyuan, and this is my wife Lin Ziyuan. I came here to apologize to you. It was because my husband and I did not discipline him properly that we raised such a bad boy. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against him. We bow to you here."

After saying that, Sun Aiguo and Lin Ziyuan bowed to Shen Dong together.

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Mr. Sun, Ms. Lin, you don't have to do this. I am a person who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and I never wait until the next day to take revenge. The matter between Young Master Sun and I was resolved on the spot last night. Don't worry, I won't settle the score later, and I won't report this matter to the government departments."

When Sun Aiguo heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly, "Mr. Shen, no matter what, it's all this bastard's fault. My husband and I are really to blame. This painting is Mr. Qi Baishi's masterpiece. Although it's not worth much, it's also a token of our love. Please accept it."

"A painting by Qi Baishi?"

Shen Dong suddenly remembered a famous story from his previous life.

In the early 1980s, a businessman in Taiwan spent 200,000 yuan to purchase nearly 10,000 paintings, most of which were works by famous artists such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, and Huang Binhong.

Twenty years later, the prices of these paintings have increased by more than ten thousand times.

The businessman also became a billionaire overnight.

Thinking of this, Shen Dong suddenly became interested in the painting and asked, "Can I open it and take a look now?"

Sun Aiguo was stunned and said quickly: "Of course."

Opening the box, Sun Aiguo took out a scroll from it, and then he and Lin Ziyuan carefully unfolded the painting.

This is a landscape painting.

The main body is a house on the mountain, surrounded by countless lush banana trees.

Although Shen Dong is a layman in calligraphy and painting, he still feels a vibrant vitality from the paintings.

Shen Dong praised: "Good painting."

Lin Ziyuan, who had been silent the whole time, saw that Shen Dong seemed very interested in this painting, so she said, "Mr. Qi Baishi's paintings are sold in all major calligraphy and painting galleries in Yandu. If Mr. Shen is interested, we can help you buy some."

Shen Dong asked, "Are there many paintings by Qi Baishi?"

Lin Ziyuan said, "There are at least thousands of paintings. In addition to his, there are many works by famous artists. But the prices are much higher than in previous years. Large paintings are at least 5,000 yuan, and small paintings are also 1,000 or 2,000 yuan."

Depend on!

Is five thousand yuan too expensive for a painting by Qi Baishi?

It would be more accurate to add a "wan" at the end.

Shen Dong forced himself to suppress the joy in his heart and said, "Young Master Sun, get up first. I have something I want to ask you for help."

Sun Qingyuan's legs had long gone numb from kneeling, and he stood up immediately after hearing this, saying, "Please tell me, I will definitely make it beautiful for you."

Shen Dong said, "I really like antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Yandu is the ancient capital of several dynasties, so there must be a lot of good stuff. Please help me find a few experts in antiques, calligraphy and paintings. As long as they are authentic works by famous artists, buy them all for me no matter how much they cost."

Chapter 445 Buying Antiques

In this day and age, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are shockingly cheap.

If Shen Dong buys them now, it would not be surprising if their value increases hundreds of times in the future.

While everyone is not paying much attention to these things, Shen Dong can take the opportunity to buy them all at a low price.

By then, just relying on his collection of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, Shen Dong could easily become a billionaire.

Sun Qingyuan patted his chest and said, "No problem. It's just... it's just that I don't have that much money."

Shen Dong pondered for a moment and said, "I will arrange for a few people to set up a store in Yandu and use three months to buy antiques, calligraphy and paintings in Yandu. As for the money, you don't have to worry. I will leave 100 million for this."

"One hundred million?"

Not to mention Sun Qingyuan, even Sun Aiguo and Lin Ziyuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In this era, one hundred million yuan can buy a residential community.

Shen Dong continued, "The experts you hire must be reliable. I will give them each 200,000 yuan for appraisal. As for your salary, I will also set it at 200,000 yuan. If the antiques, calligraphy and paintings are good enough and there are enough of them, I will give you a raise."

Upon hearing this, Sun Qingyuan quickly said, "Mr. Shen, you don't have to pay me. This is what I should do."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Let's put it this way. If you don't want money, then I'll go find someone else."

"Don't."

Sun Qingyuan quickly said, "I'll do it."

Seeing Shen Dong asking his son to help collect antiques, Sun Aiguo was completely relieved and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, what do you want so many antiques, calligraphy and paintings for?"

Shen Dong said: "As the saying goes, gold is in troubled times, and antiques are in prosperous times. With the speed of Xia's development, I feel that the prosperous times are coming soon. Whether it is buying and selling, or opening a museum, it is a good choice."

Sun Aiguo gave a thumbs up and praised: "No wonder Mr. Shen has achieved such great success at such a young age. This vision alone is not something that ordinary people can possess."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, you are too kind."

After exchanging contact information with Sun Qingyuan, Shen Dong said goodbye to the family of three and went out for morning exercise with Li Jie.

Lin Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Shen is quite easy to talk to."

Sun Aiguo said, "That's because he vented his anger last night. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pass this test today. Qingyuan, you must do your best to help Shen Dong buy antiques in the short term. This young man is amazing. If you can make friends with him, maybe this bad thing will turn into a good thing."

Sun Qingyuan nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, I know what to do."

Sun Aiguo looked at Sun Qingyuan in surprise, feeling that his son seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.

In fact, Shen Dong didn't take Sun Qingyuan's teasing of his girlfriend to heart at all.

After returning to the hotel last night, he learned from Li Xinxin that the other party was only dishonest in words but had not taken any action.

Therefore, even if Sun Aiguo and his family of three did not come to apologize, Shen Dong would not report the matter to his superiors.

After morning exercise, Shen Dong accompanied his four girlfriends to have breakfast in the hotel.

Today Li Xinxin needs to rent an office building as the headquarters of the Tengfei Charity Foundation.

The three girls had nothing else to do, so they followed Li Xinxin.

Shen Dong is very interested in antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

After dinner, he called Sun Qingyuan and made an appointment to go together to look for a suitable store.

On the way, Shen Dong asked, "Ajie, among the brothers going to Hong Kong Island, how many of them have families in Yandu?"

Li Jie thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, at least twenty people."

Shen Dong said, "I am planning to open an antiques and calligraphy and painting purchasing store, and I need someone to look after it. Please contact Ah Hui and ask all the brothers who are in Yandu to come back to help me look after the store. Firstly, I feel more at ease with them around. Secondly, when they are free, they can reunite with their families."

Li Jie nodded and said, "I believe the brothers in Yandu will be very happy to hear this news."

Shen Dong asked: "Ajie, do you have any relatives at home?"

Li Jie's face was gloomy, and he said, "My wife and I are both orphans. Since she and her child were killed in the bombing, I have no relatives anymore."

Shen Dong sighed and said, "When we return to Hong Kong Island, I'll ask your sister-in-law to find you a reliable girl."

Li Jie said: "I have thought about it. I will never get married again in this life."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "You must look forward. You have already avenged your wife and children. You can no longer regard this matter as an obstacle to your family and career. If my sister-in-law knew about this, she would definitely not agree to you dying alone."

Li Jie was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Dong, give me some time to think about it."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I don't mean to force you. Whether your life is happy or not depends entirely on yourself. As your boss, I have the responsibility to give you a happy family."

Li Jie was deeply moved and said, "Brother Dong, it is our lifelong honor to follow you."

Shen Dong laughed loudly and said, "Stop flattering me."

Although Sun Qingyuan was not doing his job properly, he was very familiar with the streets and alleys of Yandu.

It only took him an hour to find an antique shop with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters and two floors near Panjiayuan.

Shen Dong went in and took a look around, and found that the place only needed a little decoration before it could be used.

The owner of the antique shop was an old man in his sixties with half-white hair. He looked energetic, had an elegant air, and a hint of sadness between his brows.

"Grandpa, are you renting or selling it?" Sun Qingyuan asked dissatisfiedly.

The old man said, "I'm sorry, I wanted to rent it out. But yesterday my grandson who is studying in the Lighthouse Country called me and said he needed $50,000 to continue his studies. His parents passed away early, so I had to sell this antique shop to raise money for his tuition."

Sun Qingyuan said speechlessly: "Well, our trip today is in vain. Mr. Shen, let's go!"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I like this antique shop very much."

Before, Shen Dong wanted to rent a house and it would only take three months.

But when he saw such a good antique shop, he decided to buy it.

Sun Qingyuan said in surprise: "Mr. Shen, are you going to buy this antique shop?"

Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right. Old man, what's your name? How much do you plan to sell this shop for?"

The old man said, "My name is Mu Xingwen, Mr. Shen can call me Old Mu. This antique shop is the result of my life's hard work. It has two floors, a total of 522 square meters, and a basement of more than 120 square meters below. If I didn't need the money urgently, I really wouldn't want to sell it."

Sun Qingyuan was a little impatient and said, "Old man, you..."

Chapter 446: Picking up a big bargain

Shen Dong waved his hand, interrupting Sun Qingyuan's words, and said, "Mr. Mu, since you have been in the antique business for your whole life, you must be very knowledgeable about those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, right?"

Mu Xingwen showed a hint of pride and said, "In terms of vision, no antique dealer in Panjiayuan is better than me. Even those antique calligraphy and painting masters may not be better than me."

Shen Dong asked, "After you sell your antique shop, will you go to the Lighthouse Country to accompany your grandson?"

Mu Xingwen said: "I definitely won't go. I don't have any good feelings towards those foreigners. Even if I die, I want to die in Yandu."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Then are you willing to continue working in the antique shop?"

Mu Xingwen was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shen Dong said: "I will invest 100 million Xia Yuan to purchase antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but I need a master who can help me. If you are willing to help, I can pay you 10,000 yuan a month."

Mu Xingwen laughed and said, "One hundred million? Little brother, you look young, but you are quite boastful."

Sun Qingyuan next to him said, "Old man, this Mr. Shen is a super-rich man from Hong Kong Island, worth hundreds of billions. A mere 100 million is simply a piece of cake."

When Mu Xingwen heard this, he exclaimed, "Is this true?"

Shen Dong said, "I do have a lot of money. Mr. Mu, just tell me if you are willing to open your eyes to me, right?"

Mu Xingwen was silent for a moment, then said, "As long as you swear not to sell these antiques and calligraphy and paintings abroad, I will do it for you."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Mr. Mu, you are insulting me. How could I, a true descendant of the Yellow Emperor, sell my ancestors' things abroad?"

Mu Xingwen said quickly: "I'm sorry, I've seen too many unfilial descendants selling their ancestors' things to foreign tourists, and I feel a little sad."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "I can swear to God that I will only buy Chinese antiques and calligraphy and paintings from abroad in my life, and I will never sell them abroad."

Mu Xingwen said happily, "That's good. Hahaha, I have many collector friends in Yandu. They have a lot of antiques and calligraphy and paintings that they want to sell, but unfortunately no one has the money to buy them. If I had 100 million yuan, I could buy all the antiques and calligraphy and paintings in half of Yandu."

Shen Dong snapped his fingers and said, "Great. Mr. Mu, let's talk about the price of the house. How much do you want?"

Mu Xingwen thought for a moment and said, "At least three million Xia Yuan."

Sun Qingyuan exclaimed: "Old man, you are asking too much, aren't you? Three million, I can buy ten houses like this."

Mu Xingwen said: "I am selling it together with the antiques, calligraphy and paintings that I have collected for half my life, not just this building."

Shen Dong asked, "Mr. Mu, have you purchased a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings?"

Mu Xingwen nodded and said, "I have a total of 620 paintings and calligraphy, and 262 antiques of various kinds."
