Zhou Chen asked the driver to drive over and sent him and Popohou Hou to the hotel where Guan's father and Guan's mother were staying.
Guan's father and mother's attitude toward Popohou was good, but when they saw Zhou Chen, their expressions became unsightly.
Especially Guan's mother Yu Jinxian, the moment she saw Zhou Chen, the scene of being scolded by Zhou Chen that day appeared in her mind.
A face-saving person like her with no bottom line wanted to drive Zhou Chen away on the spot, but Guan's father stopped him and let Zhou Chen and Poshahou Hou into the house.
After a while, Guan's father asked in surprise: "So, you two are here for the old things my father left behind?"
Shashahou nodded and said: "Yes, we are old acquaintances with Mr. Guan, and we are both in the antique collecting business. Now that Mr. Guan is gone, if you want to sell his items, we can take over."
Guan's father and his wife Yu Jinxian looked at each other and saw movement in each other's eyes.
The reason why they did not leave after the funeral was because of the old man's inheritance, and the reason why they wanted to get the inheritance was naturally because of the value of these inheritances.
They didn't know exactly how valuable the old man's inheritance was, but judging from their understanding, it was definitely not a small amount of money. At the very least, it was much more than the three million yuan sold to Han Chunming for the small courtyard.
How could greedy people like them not be tempted when faced with such a large inheritance?
Guan's father said: "To be honest with you two, all the old man's things are with my daughter, and our daughter and we also like the old man's things very much and want to keep them as souvenirs."
Listening to Guan Fu's words, Baolan Hou and Zhou Chen both found it funny. They are full of monsters and monsters you two are.
"If the old man knew about your filial piety, he would definitely be very pleased, but I think that rather than leaving it as a memorial, I think the old man would prefer that his descendants live a better life, and use these collections to exchange for a stable life for future generations.
This is definitely a great deal.”
Yu Jinxian agreed very much and said: "Lao Guan, I think what Mr. Hou said is very reasonable. After all, things are dead, but people are alive. When we leave things, we can only look at them, but if we sell them
Giving people like Mr. Hou and others will definitely make things gain greater value."
Zhou Chen and Baolanhou both looked at Yu Jinxian in shock. What a good guy, in order to sell something, he actually gave such a high-sounding excuse.
Guan's father wondered: "But after all, these things were passed down from our ancestors in the Guan family. I really can't bear to sell them like this."
Yu Jinxian said along the way: "Lao Guan, what you said makes sense. After all, it was passed down from our fathers. It might be more valuable in the future, so let's forget it."
Zhou Chen and Bao Baohou finally figured it out. The two couples sang together and they didn't really want to keep it as a souvenir, but they wanted to sell it for a high price.
Thinking of this, Bao Baohou said: "You two, I know what you mean. You can rest assured on this. We are all acquaintances, and we will definitely not deliberately lower the price. As long as it is a good thing, you can pay as much as you want. As for the price, I
I think you don’t have to worry anymore.”
He pointed at Zhou Chen and introduced: "I don't know if your daughter and son-in-law have introduced Zhou Chen to you in detail. Zhou Chen is not only a famous collector in Yanjing City, but also a very successful businessman.
merchant."
"In our area, there are only a few rich and big collectors besides him. If you don't believe it, you can ask your daughter and son-in-law, whether it's Han Chunming or my old son-in-law.
Hong Kong rich people are not qualified to talk about money in front of him."
"Not to mention other things, the two Chenxing Plazas owned by Zhou Chen are worth hundreds of millions, not to mention that he also has more than a dozen supermarkets and dozens of commodity markets."
Before coming, Zhou Chen had discussed with Baolanhou how to say that Zhou Chen was rich, but for him, it was definitely not enough to win others' trust.
But it was different when it came to Ba Po Po Hou. In front of the mourning hall, the Guan family saw Po Po Po Hou drop a priceless Ge Kiln Bafang Cup.
In addition, Bao Bao Hou has a very high seniority, so they still trust Bao Bao Hou's words.
The Guan family couple were very surprised. Of course they knew that Zhou Chen was Han Chunming's brother-in-law, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen was so powerful, even inferior to Han Chunming.
At this moment, the Guan couple were attracted. Guan's father was okay, but Yu Jinxian's eyes had started to shine.
The last time Han Chunming paid 3 million to buy the old man's small yard, she was already overjoyed.
Three million, you know, even if the couple worked hard abroad for decades, the property they earned was not much more than three million.
How could she not be excited about the possibility of making more money now?
Although Guan's father was also moved, he calmed down a little and said: "Well, Mr. Hou, Mr. Zhou, you also know that we have to discuss this matter with my daughter. When we have the result, we will definitely give you a reply.
, do you think it’s OK?”
Baolanhou glanced at Zhou Chen, and when he saw Zhou Chen nodded slightly, he patted his thigh and said, "Okay, that's fine, Zhou Chen, then let's go first?"
"Okay, let's go."
Zhou and Chen stood up, greeted the Guan couple with a few polite words, and then left.
Back in the car, Bao Pohou said: "They are tempted. As long as they are tempted, this matter will be easy to handle."
"Well, neither these two people nor Guan Xiaoguan have inherited the old man's will. As long as we pay a high price, he will definitely sell it."
"I'm afraid that boy Han Chunming will cause trouble. You also know his relationship with Guan Xiaoguan and Na Taozi."
Baoshahou expressed his worries.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That's not necessary. If it is sold to others, he might stop it, but if it is sold to us, he knows that we will definitely not send good things abroad. As long as the things stay in the country, and they are still
If you leave it in the hands of familiar people, he won't waste any time."
"I hope so."
Zhou Chen originally thought that it would take a few days for the Guan family and his wife to contact them, but unexpectedly, on the next day, Guan's father called them and asked them to go see something.
Zhou Chen and Popohou Hou naturally did not refuse, and went directly to Guan Xiaoguan's home and saw the things left by Mr. Guan.
Zhou Chen knew that most of Mr. Guan's good things had been hidden, and only a small part remained. But even so, there were hundreds of large and small things in total.
After seeing something, Zhou Chen did not rush to get started, but looked at it first to find the type he wanted.
For him, everything is naturally focused on completing the task. Whatever type of task is still lacking, he will look for that type.
In the end, Zhou Chen selected a dozen pieces, and Baolanhou also selected nine. As for the rest, they were all ordinary antique calligraphy and paintings, which were of average value, and neither Zhou Chen nor Baolanhou were too fond of them.
"There are a total of twenty-five pieces here. For the sake of the old man, I will bid you thirteen million for these. If you agree, I will pay you now; of course, you can also consider it again, or
Go check the value of these things, let others know, and then consider whether to sell them, but I only give you three days."
"After three days, if you haven't made a decision, then I can only say sorry."
Although it has not been systematically identified, Zhou Chen can already tell the quality of these things with his eyesight.
To be honest, he was a little disappointed. There were good things in it, but it was a bit far from what he imagined.
It seems that Mr. Guan is also very smart and has hidden most of the good things.
After seeing this, Zhou Chen really had the urge to smash the wall and find all the antiques hidden by Mr. Guan.
When Guan's father and Guan's mother heard the figure of thirteen million, their eyes widened. Although they knew that the old man's things were treasures and very valuable, they didn't expect that just a part of them would be so valuable.
Yu Jinxian couldn't wait to agree on the spot, but Guan's father forced himself to calm down, so he didn't agree to trade immediately.
In the next three days, Guan's father and mother went around looking for people to look at things, and even contacted foreign auction houses.
Although the price given by the auction house was slightly higher, the problem was that the auction house had to pay handling fees and wait for the date of the auction. It took not even a year and a half to get the money, so they quickly made a decision.
Made a decision.
Three days later, Zhou Chen and the Guan family successfully completed the transaction, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.
Half a year has passed by in a flash.
Zhou Chen has already collected twenty-nine of the fifty antiques left for the side mission. As long as he finds twenty-one more, he can complete the side mission.
As for the main mission, there are still fifty years left, which means that he has to live until at least 2051.
"Zhou Chen, have you packed up? You won't be able to make it in time."
Han Chunyan's voice came from upstairs, and Zhou Chen looked helpless: "I packed it up when I was here and have been waiting for you. Can you please stop being so ink-stained? It's been almost an hour."
"It'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon."
After hearing this answer for an unknown number of times, Zhou Chen said he no longer wanted to speak.
Today, Han Chunming hosted a banquet for guests and invited relatives and friends to his hotel for dinner. Naturally, Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan were also among them.
After another ten minutes, Han Chunyan slowly came down from upstairs.
Time is like a ruthless carving knife, changing everything.
Han Chunyan no longer looks as youthful and beautiful as she did more than 20 years ago. Although she has been using the best cosmetics to take care of her over the years, there are many things that even the best cosmetics cannot cover up.
Fortunately, she followed Zhou Chen to maintain health, so although wrinkles appeared on Han Chunyan's face, she maintained a good figure.
"Let's go."
Han Chunyan held Zhou Chen's arm.
Arriving at Han Chunming Hotel, Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan walked in holding hands.
Manager Li, who went back downstairs, was greeting guests at the entrance of the lobby with his people. As soon as he saw Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan coming in, he immediately greeted them warmly.
"Mr. Zhou, madam, you are here. Please come in quickly. At the first table, Mr. Han is inside."
Han Chunyan handed over the red envelope she had prepared and said a few words: "Manager Li, what happened to my brother today? Why did he create such a big scene?"
"You have to ask Mr. Han about this, we don't know very well." Manager Li replied politely.
Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan walked into the hall and found that many people had already arrived. When Zhou Chen passed by, he greeted everyone he knew and finally came to the main table.
This is a large round table that can seat more than a dozen people. At this time, there are already many people sitting there, mainly the Han family and the Su family, plus a broken man.
After everyone arrived, Han Chunming stood up.
"I invited everyone here for the banquet today. I didn't say why, but because..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Huajian suddenly shouted loudly: "Chunming, even if you didn't tell us, we would know, isn't it because you, a boy like you, are about to blossom?"
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.
Next, Han Chunming and Su Meng came on stage to perform a piece of music and singing for everyone. Then Han Chunming said the purpose of calling everyone here today, which was to invite everyone to go to his Yaxuan Museum for a long time after dinner.
"Should we start?"
Zhou Chen was not surprised when he heard Han Chunming talk about the museum, because there were many of his objects in Han Chunming's museum. Han Chunming found him and borrowed them anyway.
In fact, he also advised Han Chunming not to call Guan Xiaoguan when he went to the museum, because there were indeed some things in Han Chunming's collection that he got from Mr. Guan.
Although he paid something for what he got from Mr. Guan, Guan Xiaoguan didn't know what she would think if she saw it.
But Han Chunming felt that he had a clear conscience, so he called Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao over.
A few hours later, Zhou Chen arrived at the suburban villa.
Mr. Guan was very surprised when he saw Zhou Chen coming: "Why are you free to come here today, and at this time?"
Zhou Chen usually comes in the afternoon, but now it's already evening.
Zhou Chen said: "I came here today to share a good thing with you. Your apprentice's museum opened today, and there was a big show."
"This guy actually opened a museum. It's a good idea." Mr. Guan praised.
"It is indeed a good thing to open a museum, but this good day has been disturbed by your granddaughter. Many objects in Chunming's museum were obtained from you. As a result, your granddaughter insisted that it was Chunming who did it unintentionally, so she opened the museum in Chunming.
There was a big fuss in the museum, and they even got into trouble, and in the end they broke up on bad terms."
When Mr. Guan heard this, he became anxious: "Then you didn't stop me?"
"Do you think I can stop you? I have explained that many of the things in it were lent to Chunming, but your granddaughter doesn't believe it; Han Chunming is also stubborn and does not listen to others' advice. I am doing it for him, but he still returns
I didn’t appreciate it, so in the end I could only stand aside and watch.”
Zhou Chen said: "According to me, it doesn't have to be so troublesome at all. If you just show up, the matter can be solved easily. It has to be spent."
"That won't work. I still want to live a few more years."
Although Mr. Guan was worried, he could still maintain his composure: "Chunming is my apprentice, I believe he can handle it well."
"Okay, it's up to you. I'm nosy."
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Zhou Chen changed the subject again: "Sir, when do you no longer want to hide, please inform me in advance. When you show up, that kid Han Chunming may blame me."
"I just happened to be here, old man. Let me take your pulse and check your body."
Mr. Guan is already over ninety years old, and his health is getting worse day by day. Every time Zhou Chen comes over, he has to check his health to ensure his safety.
After the museum incident, Han Chunming was obviously decadent for a long time, and he drank with Zhou Chen several times.
…………
"Chunyan, I'm going to the laboratory."
Zhou Chen said hello to Han Chunyan and then drove away from the villa.
Han Chunyan watched Zhou Chen leave without a smile on her face, and her expression was even more complicated.
After about an hour, Han Chunyan picked up the phone and dialed Zhou Qingqing's number.
"Hey, Qingqing, has your brother arrived at your company?"
"Ah? No, oh, it's nothing. I just forgot to tell him something. When I called him, no one answered the phone. Okay, it's okay. I hung up."
Putting down the phone, Han Chunyan's face became ugly, and she held the phone tightly with both hands, as if something big had happened, and she looked very entangled.
After thinking seriously for a while, Han Chunyan packed up, picked up her bag and went out.
In the Han family's courtyard, Han's mother was hanging clothes in the courtyard. When she saw Han Chunyan coming in, she asked, "Chunyan, why are you here?"
Han Chunyan asked: "Mom, is Wuzi at home?"
"No, what's wrong? Girl, why do you look so ugly?"
When she came up to her, Mother Han noticed that her daughter's face looked ugly, so she asked strangely.
Han Chunyan glanced around: "Mom, come into the room and talk."
"What's wrong, this kid?"
Seeing that her daughter went straight into the house without saying a word, Mother Han felt panicked and felt that something big had happened.
When I followed my daughter into the house, I heard her daughter talking on the phone to her youngest son.
"...Wuzi, no matter what you are doing now, come back right away. I have something very, very important to ask you, so hurry up."
Mother Han asked eagerly: "Chunyan, what are you doing? Tell your mother. You're going to make your mother and I anxious to death."
Han Chunyan sat on the sofa, but did not answer, but said: "Mom, it's better to wait until Wuzi comes back. This matter is more complicated."
"If it's complicated, just tell me slowly. What happened?"
Although Mother Han was anxious, Han Chunyan refused to say anything, so she had no choice but to wait with Han Chunyan.
Because of Han Chunyan's strong order, Han Chunming rushed back as quickly as possible.
"Second sister, what's wrong? You called me back in such a hurry?"
Han Chunming was originally at work, but when Han Chunyan called him in an urgent tone, he had to put down his work and rush home.
Coming back in a hurry, Han Chunming felt that his throat was dry, so he picked up the tea cup and poured himself a cup of tea.
Han Chunyan looked at Han Chunming seriously: "Fifth son, I know you have a very good relationship with Zhou Chen, but I am your biological sister. I want to ask you a question, and you can't hide it from me."
Han Chunming was stunned by Han Chunyan's serious expression: "No, second sister, what's wrong? Is it necessary to be so serious?"
"Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, is there someone outside Zhou Chen?"
