Hearing Li Jin's praise, Hu Taidou asked with a smile: "Do you know the source?"
"It was written by Zuo Guangdou, the loyal and righteous Duke in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. He had a thunderous but calm demeanor in his idleness, which was quite a bit like seeing the clouds and floating dogs standing still. I was very impressed."
Li Jin was a little lucky.
Before he was reborn in his previous life, one of his big clients liked this couplet the most. He once spent 6 million to bid for Zuo Guangdou's original work but unfortunately failed. At that time, the 6 million was transferred from the stock account Li Jin managed for him, so Li Jin
Very impressive.
If it hadn't been for a coincidence, it would have been really embarrassing.
Hu Taidou had a real smile on his face and said: "Yes, this couplet is the one hanging in Zuo Guangdou's study. There are thousands of couplets, and there are many absolutely wonderful pairs that make people marvel, but I
But I like this couplet the most.”
Li Jin took a look at the couplet and felt a little strange.
If the one in Hu Taidou's study is authentic, then what did he auction for a big client in the auction house in his previous life?
Although in terms of time span, there are still six or seven years to work, but looking at Hu Taidou's family property, no matter how much he spends it, it is impossible for him to be reduced to the point of auctioning the family property in these six or seven years.
It can only be said to be an unsolved case.
After chatting, he sat down on the Taishi chair and asked Li Jin and Huo Huanyu to sit opposite each other. Hu Taidou spoke.
"I already know your purpose of coming."
Hu Taidou's first sentence was to get straight to the point.
"In principle, I agree to support you. After all, this is a big matter of right and wrong. On this, any personal thoughts must be put aside. I am aware of this."
Li Jin nodded and said: "Mr. Hu is so righteous and the younger generation admires him."
After giving Li Jin a meaningful look, Hu Taidou said with a half-smile, "Little fox, don't be too busy putting a hat on my old man, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Li Jin smiled and picked up the cup of Dahongpao in front of him and took a sip.
This means that Hu Taidou can continue talking.
Hu Taidou's snow-white eyebrows trembled, he rubbed the jade ring on his thumb and said slowly: "I can give you 2 billion US dollars."
Although Rao was mentally prepared, Li Jin's heart still skipped a beat.
This old man is so damn rich.
"But one thing is, this money is not invested in you by me."
Hu Taidou smiled and nodded to Li Jin, and continued: "It's a loan, and there is a mortgage."
Hearing this, Li Jin had no reaction, and Huo Huanyu almost exploded.
"What do you mean? We are facing a huge crisis right now. If we can't handle it, the domestic market will be completely destroyed. At this juncture, Mr. Hu, are you still borrowing money?"
Huo Huanyu's words made Hu Taidou say calmly: "Boy Huo, this is not the place for you to talk."
Huo Huanyu let out a laugh, and his bad temper immediately came back.
Just as he was about to say that you, an old boy, you and I have the guts to yell at my grandfather, Li Jin stopped him.
"Mr. Hu, what's the excuse?"
"Simple, Jinqing Company's shares are mortgaged to me." Hu Taidou said cheerfully.
When Li Jin heard this, he put down his tea cup expressionlessly, stood up and said, "Since Mr. Hu is not sincere, let's forget it."
Li Jin ignored Hu Taidou at all, greeted Huo Huanyu, and left immediately.
At this juncture, Li Jin was about to open the door and go out, but the door to the study room was opened from the outside first.
Standing at the door was a young man. He was polite and looked like an ordinary college student.
Holding a box in his hand, he showed a gentle smile to Li Jin and said, "Grandpa asked me to bring the medicinal fragrant beads he collected and said that he wanted to give them to the distinguished guests. Why are the distinguished guests leaving now?"
The appearance of this young man gave the situation room to relax.
"Little fox, don't be so impatient. What can't you talk about?" Hu Taidou said.
Li Jin then returned to his seat and sat down.
After sitting down again, Hu Taidou never mentioned what happened before. He cheerfully pointed at the young man standing respectfully beside him and said, "His name is Ding Zhen, and he is my grandson."
Ding Zhen smiled gently and said softly: "To be precise, he is a godson. I am an orphan adopted by my grandfather. I have only recently come to help him."
Ding Zhen makes people feel very comfortable.
He has a bookish air, speaks slowly and calmly, and when speaking, he looks at the other person, his eyes are not aggressive, as if it is completely out of respect.
Looking at Ding Zhen who was smiling at him, Li Jin suddenly thought of something.
A gentleman is like water, he has great skill but no workmanship.
"Hello." Li Jin nodded friendly to the other party.
"Are you Mr. Li from Jinqing? I often hear my grandpa say that if I were half as capable as Mr. Li, he would be relieved." Ding Zhen said warmly.
Li Jin waved his hand and said, "That's Mr. Hu's compliment."
Hu Taidou drank tea with a smile, glanced at Ding Zhen, and said, "You young people, let's talk. I'm old and can't keep up with my thinking."
Li Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, subconsciously alert.
How could Ding Zhen, the gentleman in front of him, be so valued by Hu Taidou?
He should be the one to negotiate such a big matter?
