The Pentium Era - South to North

Now that they had talked about it, the conversation between the two became more relaxed. Zhang Chen and Liu Yun talked about how Li Yong almost fell out with Liu Li pole after she left. Others were also scolding pole. They all thought that, It was Liu Ligan who made Liu Yun angry.

"It's really my decision to leave, it has nothing to do with the pole." Liu Yun said.

"Why?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Love without results is Lingchi. I have to end it myself." Liu Yun said.

Zhang Chen sighed: "That still has something to do with the pole."

Liu Yun was silent.

"We always thought you would be in Nanjing, Qian Fang and Xu Jiaqing. After returning to Nanjing, they searched all the golf courses under construction near Nanjing and couldn't find you." Zhang Chen said.

"Originally, I really wanted to go to Nanjing, but because something happened in Shanghai, I didn't go, so I stayed in Shanghai to look for a job."

Liu Yun told Zhang Chen about her experience in Shanghai, why she wanted to leave those Taiwanese people, and how she met the old American lady when applying for a job. She was the one who brought her into this industry.

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "No wonder."

"I left at that time because I felt that I didn't want to drag things out, and dragging things out would mean that I couldn't completely settle with the past. So I cut off contact with everyone and left completely, just because I wanted to start over. Zhang Chen, I hope you can understand." Liu Yun said.

Zhang Chen nodded and said, understood. In fact, no one meant to blame, but felt pity and even a little guilty.

"Guilty, why?" Liu Yun asked.

"I feel like there is nothing I can do for you." Zhang Chen said.

"What can other people do about the matter between two people?" Liu Yun said with a smile, "At that time, I couldn't face myself, so I felt that I had to be so decisive. But now it's better. Now when I see the pole again, I I just want to nod and say hello, that’s it, but I…”

Liu Yun originally wanted to say, I feel sorry for Lao Meng, but after thinking about it, she did not say it, but the apology in her heart was still there. She felt that at that time, if she knew that there was Liu Ligan behind Lao Ni, she would not have She was sure whether she would violate her professional ethics and let them go, but if she knew that Lao Meng was still there, she would definitely stop.

She would also take Lao Meng out and scold him until he sobered up.

Liu Yun has been in this industry for so long, and can be said to have met countless people. She knows very well that Lao Meng’s personality and person simply don’t want to touch or touch any futures, stocks, or foreign exchange. He is the kind of person who is doomed to lose miserably in the financial battlefield.

Coupled with Liu Ligan and Lao Ni, the three of them are simply a joke combination, the kind of people who run into the casino with the word "pig" on their foreheads.

Liu Yun sighed secretly again.

Zhang Chen laughed softly, and Liu Yun asked: "Why are you laughing?"

Zhang Chen said: "It's a bit funny to think about it. In fact, each of us, for a long time or a short time, disappeared from everyone's sight for a period of time. When Xiao Zhao and I returned to Hangzhou, we had no contact with anyone for a period of time. , Brother Tan, Lao Meng and Ganzi are also looking for us.

"Thinking about it now, it's actually an adjustment period. It means that the previous life is suddenly interrupted. You need to adjust yourself before you can adapt and enter the new life. People are not cars, so you can't turn around when you say it, and turn when you say it."

Liu Yun was right, it still meant something like that, and the other thing was that in this period, people are faced with new things every day, and some are overwhelmed, so they must go all out.

Zhang Chen said yes, Liu Yun, you are right.

The night gradually got darker, and after she had stopped sweating, her body gradually became colder. Liu Yun stood up, walked to the edge of the terrace, and looked down at Century Park. She turned around and said to Zhang Chen:

"Let's go for a walk in the park down there, okay?"

Zhang Chen said yes.

…

Clément called Liu Yun and told her that the painting had been brought from France. This time, he did not insist on meeting at the coffee shop below the Jin Mao Tower. Instead, he made an appointment with Liu Yun. At two o'clock in the afternoon, they Come to Liu Yun's office.

Liu Yun called Zhang Chen and told him the matter.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Chen arrived at Liu Yun's office. The two of them waited until two o'clock. On time, the lady at the front desk came with Clément and a female foreigner. The female foreigner was exactly the opposite of Clément. She has blond hair and is very fat. After introducing each other, we found out that this woman was Clément’s sister, and it was she who had brought the paintings over from France.

Opening several layers of well-packaged kraft paper, Zhang Chen saw that what they brought was a portrait of Hu Shanyu, one of the photos in the album. Clément's sister told them that the painting in this painting was, It was their great-grandfather, meaning to tell Zhang Chen and the others that this was her carefully selected one, and to let their great-grandfather witness their transaction.

Liu Yun cursed in Chinese: "You still have the nerve to sell your great-grandfather."

Zhang Chen smiled.

Zhang Chen asked Clément for the bank, account name and account number, compiled a text message and sent it to Zhao Jingjing, then called her and asked her to arrange for the withdrawal of 50,000 euros from their overseas account.

When Zhang Chen was on the phone, he could see that Clément and his sister were both a little nervous and a little excited. Clément began to push against each other's twisted fingers again and again.

It wasn't until Zhao Jingjing called to say that the money had been remitted, and Liu Yun told them that Clément's sister opened her laptop to check and confirmed that the money had arrived, that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone then started to talk about the subsequent handover. Clément and Zhang Chen said that they would return to France tomorrow and would pack the remaining 181 paintings one by one and transport them in containers to Shanghai. Finally, it will be shipped to his friend's warehouse, where the two parties will hand over it.

"All the paintings have been counted and accepted. If you pay us the remaining 5.15 million euros, this batch of paintings will be yours."

Zhang Chen agreed and asked where his friend's warehouse was. Clément was not very willing to tell him, but just told him that he would be notified when the time came.

Clément's sister gave them a photo album. Zhang Chen looked at it and found that it was the same as what he saw that day. Clément's sister told them that she had developed another set of photos. When the time comes, you can use them according to the photo album. This photo is for inspection.

Liu Yun smiled and praised her: "You are still careful."

Clément's sister laughed, and her round face turned red instantly, showing excitement.

Zhang Chen remembered and asked Clement: "You said there are thousands of oil paintings in your great-grandfather's castle?"

Clement said yes, but they are not valuable. As I said, they were painted by international students from other countries at that time.

Clement’s sister also said that as long as they are by Chinese painters, we have selected them all and they are all here.

"Do you have any photos of that batch of paintings?"

Zhang Chen asked, and both of them shook their heads. Clément's sister muttered with some disdain, asking who would have time to take pictures like that.

Zhang Chen then asked: "How many paintings are there in that batch?"

"There must be more than two thousand paintings," said Clement's sister.

"Can you sell it to me?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Of course." Clément said. He and his sister both looked at Zhang Chen, wondering whether he really wanted it or was joking.

"One million euros, okay?" Zhang Chen said. When Liu Yun heard this, she quickly stopped her. She said, "Zhang Chen, you haven't even seen the painting, how can you buy it?"

Zhang Chen said: "I bought it to store information. I am very curious about the information about Xu Beihong's contemporaries in Asia and other parts of the world. I would like to see how their level compares with this group of painters from our country." So, but if you can get into the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, your level shouldn’t be too bad, so it’s still worth buying.

"The most important thing is that with this batch of paintings, our 'Riverside Oil Painting Gallery' will have many special exhibitions, such as exhibitions of works by Wu Guanzhong and his contemporaries, Paris fine arts in the 1920s and 1930s, etc. There are exhibitions of works by college students, etc. This is information that other art museums in the country do not have.”

Liu Yun heard that it made sense, so she translated Zhang Chen's meaning to Clément and his sister. When the two heard that Zhang Chen wanted the pile of things that they thought were rubbish, they immediately became excited. Chatting with Liu Yun, finally, Liu Yun and Zhang Chen said:

"We've negotiated, but it's not that expensive. It's 650,000 euros. They'll sell you all the paintings, guaranteeing that the total number will be more than 2,000."

Zhang Chen said yes, you are still good. This time, you saved me 350,000 euros.

Liu Yun glanced at him and said with a smile: "I have never seen you doing business like this. You can't even bargain?"

Zhang Chen chuckled: "I really don't know how to do it."

"Then how did you sell clothes in the past? I understand, Xiao Zhao was selling them, right?" Liu Yun said.

"You really guessed wrong." Zhang Chen said, "Xiao Zhao can't sell clothes to me."

"I don't believe it." Liu Yun said.

"Really, I sell clothes in my own way. It's a bit complicated to explain. I'll explain it to you later." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Clement and his sister said goodbye and left. Zhang Chen took Hu Shanyu's oil painting and was preparing to return to Hangzhou. He would come back when Clement and his things arrived.

Liu Yun sent Zhang Chen out, and the two of them walked to the front desk. Ren Rongrong walked in from the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen also saw her and greeted her: "What a coincidence, you are here now? "

Ren Rongrong could only call "Mr. Zhang" and said, yes, I have been working here for a long time. She nodded to Liu Yun and walked away.

Liu Yun sent Zhang Chen to the elevator hall. While the two were waiting for the elevator, Liu Yun asked Zhang Chen:

"Do you know Ren Rongrong from our company?"

"Yes, she used to work at Lao Ni's place, and I met her a few times. Then she left her job. I didn't expect to come to your place. The world is so small." Zhang Chen said, "By the way, what is she doing here? "

"Vice President." Liu Yun said, her heart skipping a beat.

Zhang Chen nodded: "That's really good."

Although she had already guessed it, Liu Yun still wanted to confirm it. She asked Zhang Chen: "Zhang Chen, which Lao Ni are you talking about earlier?"

Zhang Chen said: "The one we talked about that night, Lao Ni from Keqiao Dahua Chemical Fiber, was with Meng Ping, Ganzi and the others."

Liu Yun smiled and said, "That's a coincidence."
