Shen Dong asked: "Why do you want to sell them all?"
Mu Xingwen sighed and said, "The antique collection industry is not suitable for ordinary people like us."
Shen Dong looked at Mu Xingwen deeply and said, "Mr. Mu, I have a suggestion for you. You'd better wait a little longer. I think the collection of antiques in Xia Country will soon become popular. If you sell it to me now, you may suffer a great loss."
In his previous life, Shen Dong was a criminal policeman, but he also knew that the antique industry only began to truly flourish five years later, and prices soared like a rocket.
A large Yuan blue and white porcelain bowl in good condition currently costs no more than five thousand yuan, but may be worth more than ten thousand yuan in the future.
Shen Dong is not a good person, but he really doesn't want to let an old man like Mu Xingwen who truly loves antiques suffer too much loss.
Mu Xingwen said, "Mr. Shen, you can say this, which shows that you are not a utilitarian person. I have been waiting for this antique collecting boom you mentioned for thirty years, and I don't want to wait any longer. You are a wealthy man, if you really want to collect, I am willing to help you with all my strength. When the time comes, I can also benefit from it and see some good things that I can never afford."
Shen Dong has said everything he should say.
Since Mu Xingwen insisted on selling his antiques, Shen Dong naturally would not refuse and said, "Mr. Mu, please take me to see these things."
"it is good."
Mu Xingwen brought Shen Dong, Sun Qingyuan and Li Jie to a collection room on the second floor.
There are more than ten shelves inside, on which are displayed exquisite antiques and jade artifacts, which are dazzling to the eyes.
Mu Xingwen asked, "Mr. Shen, I heard that you like Qi Baishi's paintings very much?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Yes."
Mu Xingwen pointed to a shelf and said with a smile, "There are more than 300 paintings by Qi Baishi on that shelf. I bought them from the museum a few years ago. There are also works by other modern masters. I have them here too. Mr. Shen, guess how much I spent?"
Shen Dong thought of the guy in his previous life who spent 200,000 yuan to buy tens of thousands of paintings, and said, "One hundred thousand?"
Mu Xingwen held up two fingers and said, "Two thousand yuan for five hundred paintings. If I had the money, I would definitely buy them all."
"puff"
Shen Dong was completely speechless.
Damn it, spending two thousand dollars to buy five hundred works of art by famous artists is simply an international joke.
If this happened twenty years later, let alone buying it, you wouldn't even be able to take a look at it for two thousand yuan.
Shen Dong gently opened one of the paintings and said, "Mr. Mu, the ones you chose should all be masterpieces, right?"
Mu Xingwen said proudly: "Of course. They are all works from their heyday. Now five years have passed, and these works have increased twenty times, which makes me a lot of money."
Shen Dong asked: "Mr. Mu, you should have a catalog of these things, right?"
"of course."
Mu Xingwen took out a stack of papers from a drawer and said, "All my stuff is on it."
Shen Dong took the catalog and saw two porcelain names with the three words "Yuan Blue and White" at first glance.
In the past, Yuan blue and white porcelain had already begun to become famous at this time.
But in this world, perhaps because it is too rare, Yuan blue and white porcelain is still not known to the world.
Even in Mu Xingwen's catalog, the two large Yuan blue and white porcelain jars were written in the middle two lines.
Not to mention other antiques, calligraphy and paintings, these porcelains alone will be worth at least 700 to 800 million in 20 years.
After taking a quick look at the catalog, Shen Dong let out a long sigh and said solemnly, "I think these things will probably be able to sell for a sky-high price in the future, so Mr. Mu, let me ask you again, do you really want to sell them to me?"
"Yes."
Mu Xingwen gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Including the house price, you want three million, right?"
Mu Xingwen said: "Yes."
Shen Dong said, "This price is too low. I don't want to take advantage of you. How about this? I'll give you 10 million to buy all your collections and this antique shop. I'll have someone bring the relevant purchase agreement this afternoon, and then we'll go to the notary office together. I'll pay for the notarization fee."
Chapter 447: Plan to Build a Museum
These antiques of Mu Xingwen were too valuable. The price of three million really made Shen Dong feel embarrassed to buy them, so he simply raised the price by six or seven times, so that he could feel at ease.
Sun Qingyuan's eyes showed an expression of disbelief, and he couldn't help muttering, "This is simply a typical example of a fool with a lot of money."
The seller only wanted three million, but the seller asked the seller for 20 million. This was the first time that Sun Qingyuan encountered such a strange thing.
How could he know that Shen Dong was willing to give Mu Xingwen more than 10 million just to buy peace of mind.
You know, the total value of these antiques, calligraphy and paintings will exceed 10 billion in the future.
Mu Xingwen was also a little dumbfounded and said, "Mr. Shen, are you sure?"
Shen Dong said, "I haven't finished yet. Elder Mu, I plan to build a Tengfei Museum in Yandu and put all these antiques, calligraphy and paintings in it for the world to appreciate. Since you like antiques, calligraphy and paintings so much, I would like to invite you to be the first curator of the Tengfei Museum."
Originally, Shen Dong just wanted to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings and sell them for a good price in the future.
But after seeing the old man in front of him, Shen Dong suddenly felt that doing so was too utilitarian.
After all, these old things represent the inheritance of our ancestors and carry the traditional culture of the Xia Kingdom for five thousand years.
Although Shen Dong is not a scholar, he does not want these antiques, calligraphy and paintings to be filled with the smell of money.
What's more, Shen Dong is not short of money, so why not do something that will be remembered for generations to come?
So, Shen Dong suddenly had an idea to build a private museum.
Mu Xingwen opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Shen, building a private museum is very expensive, and it is very likely that you will never be able to recover the money in your lifetime. What's more, without enough authentic antiques, the country will not agree to the construction of a private museum."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Mu, if I give you enough funds, can you help me buy more than 100,000 antiques, calligraphy and paintings?"
Mu Xingwen nodded and said, "Yes. There are many collectors all over the country selling these old things. As long as you have money, there will be no problem."
Shen Dong said, "I hope you can organize a large team of experts to help me collect these authentic antiques from all over the country. I will be responsible for all the expenses. Each expert will receive a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. The goal is to collect 100,000 valuable and precious collections. I will give you 1 billion yuan. If you encounter particularly good things, I will calculate it separately. Mr. Mu, what do you think?"
Mu Xingwen swallowed hard and said, "You are trying to get all the precious collections in the country."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "That's right. Since I want to build a private museum, I have to make it the best, no matter how much it costs."
Mu Xingwen showed an expectant look on his face, and said, "If I can really build such a museum in my lifetime, then even if I die, I will be able to smile at the grave."
Shen Dong asked: "Do you mean you agree?"
Mu Xingwen said without hesitation: "Of course. If I tell these old guys about this, they will go crazy. Mr. Shen, when will this plan start?"
Shen Dong said, "Don't worry. I will equip your expert team with financial, bodyguard, driver, doctor and logistics staff to avoid any problems in the process of purchasing antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Let's put it this way. In three days, I will let a person in charge come to you and you can have a good communication with him."
Mu Xingwen asked, "Where is the museum?"
Shen Dong said, "I plan to buy 200 acres of land in the Third Ring Road and build a museum comparable to the Forbidden City. How many treasures of sufficient weight can be in the museum will depend on the ability of you and the expert team."
Mu Xingwen patted his chest and said, "We will definitely do our best. But the government may not approve your application."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "My charity foundation donates 200 million yuan every year to support the country's education, and the construction of the museum will also be beneficial to the country. I believe the government will definitely give me this face."
Mu Xingwen nodded and said, "Mr. Shen, I will wait for your good news."
At noon, Shen Dong invited Mu Xingwen to have a meal and discussed the construction of the museum and the acquisition of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Sun Qingyuan took the opportunity when Mu Xingwen went to the toilet and asked, "Mr. Shen, do you really want to build a museum?"
Shen Dong said, "Of course. Young Master Sun, thank you for bringing me to see Mr. Mu. You don't need to worry about collecting antiques in the future. I will entrust it to Mr. Mu. After all, everyone has their own expertise."
Sun Qingyuan said: "Okay. Mr. Shen, I'll go back then."
Shen Dong shook hands with him and said, "Goodbye."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Dong signed a sales agreement with Mu Xingwen, buying the antique shop and nearly a thousand antiques and calligraphy and paintings for 20 million yuan.
Both parties also went to the notary office to have the agreement notarized, mainly because they were afraid that if the prices of antiques and calligraphy and paintings rose in the future, these things would become difficult to explain.
……
"Brother Dong, good news."
After having dinner with four beauties, Shen Dong just returned to the hotel and Chen Yongren came to greet him with a happy look on his face.
Shen Dong smiled and said, "What makes you so happy?"
Chen Yongren said, "The three major textile factories have all submitted applications to sell their factories to us. Half an hour ago, I received a call saying that Li Fuming, the deputy director in charge of state-owned enterprises, invited you to the Commerce Department tomorrow to discuss the issues of the three major textile factories."
Shen Dong's eyes flashed, and he said, "This is really a good thing."
The combined land area of the three textile factories is as much as 5,000 acres, and the location is very good.
Twenty years later, these 5,000 acres of industrial land alone will be enough to bring Shen Dong more than 10 billion yuan in revenue.
This era is truly full of gold!
After letting Li Xinxin and the other three girls go back to their room, Shen Dong and A'ren went downstairs to drink coffee and discuss tomorrow's negotiations.
Shen Dong said: "Aren, I am very interested in this 5,000-acre industrial land. While the price is low now, we must buy it no matter what."
Chen Yongren smiled and said, "Brother Dong, the three major textile companies are struggling right now. They owe a total of 1.2 million yuan in wages to employees, 2.4 million yuan in loans to banks, and there are mountains of unsold fabrics. It's not an exaggeration to describe them as a mess, let alone carry out in-depth reforms."
Shen Dong asked: "If I want to buy it, how much does it cost?"
Chen Yongren said: "Their most expensive things are the land, factory buildings and employees, the rest are worthless. The price of industrial land in Yandu is much cheaper than in Pengcheng, about 500 yuan per square meter, the maximum use period is 50 years, and the price of 5,000 acres is about 1.6 billion. The factory buildings are so old that they are out of shape, we need to tear them down and rebuild them. The employees need to be streamlined, many people only receive wages but do not work. The most troublesome thing is the house, the three major textile companies all have their own residential areas. If we buy them, we will have to spend another 200 million."
Chapter 448 Arrival at the Business Department
Shen Dong frowned and asked, "How are the houses in the community? Who owns the property rights?"
Chen Yongren curled his lips and said, "They are all tube-shaped buildings that are more than 30 years old. They are old and in a mess. The property rights are all in the hands of the employees themselves."
Shen Dong said without hesitation: "Then it's none of our business. We only want the factory, not the community."
Chen Yongren said: "Brother Dong, I think we can take this opportunity to buy a piece of land and build a branch factory of Tengfei Garment Company."
Shen Dong praised, "You and I are thinking alike. If we take down the three major textile companies in Yandu, we can build a garment factory in Yandu that is bigger than those in Pengcheng and Zhengcheng. In this way, we can save tens of millions of yuan every year on the transportation cost of fabrics alone. Ah Ren, I find that you are really a good businessman. It is a waste of your talent to be an undercover police officer in the past."
Chen Yongren smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Dong, please stop laughing at me."
Shen Dong said: "In two years, I may transfer Jimmy away from Tengfei Clothing Company. Whether you can take over depends on your performance."
Chen Yongren said quickly: "Brother Dong, Brother Jimmy is doing very well at Tengfei Garment Company. Why would you want to transfer him away?"
Shen Dong said: "Jimmy is a vanguard general who is good at attacking. I need him to help me charge forward in other areas."
Chen Yongren nodded and said, "I understand. Brother Dong, don't worry, I will do my best."
The two chatted about tomorrow's negotiation strategy for a while and then returned to the hotel.
Walking into the room, Shen Dong saw that the four girls were all wearing pajamas, lying on the bed, and applying facial masks.
The curvy, sexy and hot body made Shen Dong's eyes brimming with envy.
Li Xinxin heard the noise, took off her mask, and asked, "Husband, are you busy tomorrow?"
Shen Dong took off his shoes, lay down next to Li Xinxin, and said, "Busy. I need to discuss the acquisition of three major textile factories with the deputy director of the Commerce Department."
Lin Xinxin held down his evil hand and said, "Then when will you accompany Qiuti home?"
Qiuti said quickly: "Sister Xinxin, I'm not in a hurry. It won't be too late to go back after my husband is done with his work."
Shen Dong said: "Qiu Ti, give me three days, I will definitely solve the problem in Yandu."
Qiu Ti said, "Brother Dong, just focus on your own things and don't worry about me. I haven't been home for three or four years. It doesn't matter if I'm a few days late."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "How about this, we will send someone to inquire about your parents and brother's situation and see what they need at home. If they don't have household appliances like TVs and washing machines, they can just buy them and it will be a gift from me as their son-in-law."
Qiu Ti said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Shen Dong said, "How can this be called trouble? As the saying goes, if you don't return home when you are rich, it's like traveling at night in fine clothes. I will ask Ah Ren to arrange a luxury car team to take you home in style. Let your relatives, friends, and neighbors know that you are living better than anyone else now."
Li Xinxin said: "It would be better to buy another bicycle for Qiuti's younger brother to thank him for riding his bicycle to take Qiuti to the station."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "I'll ask someone to buy one tomorrow."
Qiuti was deeply moved and said, "Brother Dong, thank you."
Ou Yongen smiled and said, "What's there to thank me for? You are such a beautiful woman and he has you as his wife. Isn't it right for you to buy a car for your brother?"
Shen Dong said, "Yong En, do you want me to buy a car for your godfather as well?"
Ou Yongen said unhappily: "Forget it, my godfather doesn't need it."
Shen Dong frowned and said, "Ou Yongen, the tone of your words just now made me feel a little uncomfortable. What? Do you want to be beaten?"
Ou Yongen peeled off her mask and said, "You're the one who wants to be beaten."
