Reborn Capital Tycoon - Chapter 237

  Chapter 237 The painting baby

  Xiangjiang Island, No. 33 Sassoon Road.

  This is where the Huo family’s mansion is located. The generation of Sassoon Road is also a well-known high-end residential area in Xiangjiang, and many rich and famous people live nearby.

  Of course, compared to Huo Daheng, the other rich people who live here are a bit eclipsed.

   After all, it is not a place where the top rich people gather like in the middle of the mountain. The Huo family can be regarded as unique here.

Because Huo Daheng is relatively low-key on weekdays, well, well, in fact, he can’t be low-key, who made him wear a red^capitalist hat, the British are not happy with him, and have been suppressing Huo Daheng in all aspects of business, Among the more profitable industries, the British strictly restrict them.

  So, Huo Daheng has been keeping a low profile in recent years.

   Fortunately, no matter how low-key Huo Daheng is, his influence is still there. No matter if he is British or Chinese, he dare not underestimate him.

  Actually, being low-key is a major feature of Xiangjiang bosses.

  Last year, Huo Daheng just passed his 50th birthday. This year, Huo Daheng didn’t make any more fuss, and he didn’t invite anyone to his house, so outside the Huo family’s mansion today, there is no such scene as imagined, such as crowds of people queuing up to celebrate birthdays.

  When Chen Yi and Boss Li came to Huo’s mansion by car, they happened to meet Daheng Huo seeing off guests at the door. The person who could let Daheng Huo see them off in person was naturally not an ordinary person.

  In the car, Boss Li’s indifferent face changed a little when he saw the iconic inland car parked by the roadside of Huo’s mansion.

   “Ah Fu, don’t park here, pull over and park farther away.”

  Compared to Boss Li’s low-key configuration, Chen Yi’s limousine fleet is particularly eye-catching. The group parked far away, but they still attracted Daheng Huo’s attention.

  The old man standing next to Huo Daheng saw a few cars stop in the distance, and a group of sturdy black-clothed bodyguards came down from inside.

  The old man frowned, and asked Daheng Huo beside him, “Mr. Huo, is there any trouble?”

  Daheng Huo glanced at the familiar convoy and the configuration of bodyguards who had already got off the car, and roughly confirmed the identity of the person who came.

   “Mr. Liang, don’t worry, here is a very interesting little guy, he should come to celebrate my birthday, there will be no trouble.”

   “Little guy?” Hearing Huo Daheng’s address to the visitor, the old man asked curiously, “Could it be someone’s descendant from Xiangjiang?”

   Huo Daheng saw the figure who had got off the car in the distance and was busy helping the boss to get off the car. He couldn’t help saying: “He is much better than the younger generations of those families in Xiangjiang. I mentioned it to you before.”

   “The surname is Chen, the little guy who turned Xiangjiang upside down last year. In less than a year, he has accumulated billions of worth.”

“It turned out to be him.” When the old man heard this, he immediately knew who Huo Daheng was talking about. After seeing Boss Li who got out of the car, the old man couldn’t help showing a trace of regret, and sighed: “Unfortunately, today is not time, otherwise I would really like to see him.”

  Huo Daheng understood, “Why don’t I take him to see you another day?”

  The old man waved his hand, indicating that he did not intend to see the other party for the time being, then turned and walked towards the waiting vehicle parked on the side of the road.

  After sending the old man away, Daheng Huo looked away and walked towards Boss Chen Yi and Li who had already walked towards this side.

   “Boss Li, I haven’t seen you for a while. I heard that you have been very busy recently. Why do you have time to come here today?”

   “Today, Mr. Huo is here to ask for a drink. I wonder if Mr. Huo would like to entertain the two of us.”

   “The two of you are rare visitors. It’s rare to visit the door on weekdays. There’s no reason to refuse. Stay for a light meal at noon. I’ll have a drink or two with my brother.”

  Although he is not planning to keep customers today, the two in front of him are indeed rare customers. Usually, people rarely invite them. Now that they come to the door, how dare he refuse.

   What’s more, the one who just left seemed to be somewhat interested in Chen Yi, which further prompted the idea of ​​keeping the two of them.

  …

  In the hall of the Huo family

  Chen Yi opened the birthday gift he personally prepared in front of everyone, and a painting of green pines and white cranes suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

  Originally everyone thought that Chen Yi’s painting would be a calligraphy painting of a celebrity, but they thought the ink was fresh, and it was completely a work not long ago.

  The most dumbfounding thing is the signature. The author of this painting is actually named Chen Yi. This made everyone dumbfounded, and they all turned their attention to Boss Chen.

   Facing the eyes of everyone, Chen Yi was also a little nervous, swallowed and said: “Uncle Huo, this is a painting of green pines and white cranes that I have spent half a month painting with my own hands. I hope you like it.”

  No way, it’s strange not to be nervous.

  Although his painting is not bad, compared with those real Danqing masters, his skill is obviously only at the amateur level.

  His own paintings, no matter how bad they are, are still excellent.

  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, how can it be called bad.

  Compared with the appalling works of ghost and animal masters in later generations, Chen Yi’s paintings are more conscientious.

  Green pine and white crane, the traditional meaning has the meaning of pine and crane prolonging life.

  Pine is the longest of all trees, evergreen and immortal.

   Cranes are birds of aura and have a life span of a thousand years.

  Thousand-year-old cranes follow the thousand-year-old pine, implying that the pine and crane prolong life.

  The implication is very beautiful. I spent half a month painting myself, which can be regarded as very hard work. Except for a little poor level, there are no major problems in other places.

  So, after carefully appreciating it, Huo Daheng nodded in satisfaction and said: “Yes, Xiao Yi, you have a heart. I like this painting very much. It’s rare that you have this heart. You will come to my house often when you have nothing to do in the future.”

  Compared with the value of the painting, Huo Daheng valued Chen Yi’s intentions more. If before he only regarded him as a junior with potential, now he really treats him as his nephew.

“As long as Uncle Huo likes it.” Seeing Huo Daheng put away the painting with satisfaction, Chen Yi couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief. This is also the first time for him to give away a painting. If he is rejected by others, he will really have no face to paint in the future. .

   Now that it is the first time, and it has also been praised by Huo Daheng, it is free to draw and give away in the future. It is best to let the top bigwigs in Xiangjiang have their own paintings at home.

   In this way, in the future, his paintings may be able to use the hands and mouths of these top rich people to stand shoulder to shoulder with celebrities like Qi Baishi.

  Actually, things like calligraphy and painting rely on nothing more than the praise of others. Is Qi Baishi’s shrimp really that good?

   In the final analysis, it is nothing more than someone fired it up.

   In the future, if he becomes the richest man in the Chinese, the richest man in Asia, or the richest man in the world, then he can sell any painting for hundreds or tens of millions.

  The more he thought about it, the more Chen Yi felt that something was wrong.
