Chapter 1215 Chen Feng is a good person
Tang Xinyi was stunned when Tang Hongying said these words. She really didn’t expect that her brother, who had always been nerdy and never seemed to care about her sister, He would actually say such a thing for her.
Although Chen Feng was a little surprised, he immediately reacted and nodded and said: "Of course, I can give you this guarantee. I will definitely take good care of Xinyi and give her happiness."< br>
Chen Feng had already told Mother Tang before about such a guarantee.
Unexpectedly, he would make another guarantee in front of Tang Hongying.
Of course, Chen Feng has no psychological burden on this, because the promises he made are true. As long as Tang Xinyi follows him, he will definitely take care of her and make her happy as much as possible.
It can be seen that both Tang's mother and brother Tang Hongying care about Tang Xinyi.
In the past, they just didn't communicate well with each other, which made Tang Xinyi feel that she didn't have a deep relationship or close relationship with them, but this is obviously not the case.
Now that Chen Feng had given his guarantee again, Tang Hongying was very happy and immediately toasted to Chen Feng with a smile and said "thank you".
Tang Hongying was obviously not a talkative person, but he still tried his best to chat with Chen Feng, ranging from the international situation to the online novels he had read. Unexpectedly, the other party, a university associate professor, also liked to read online novels. No. They had both read the young novel, and now they had a common topic.
Before they knew it, the two of them had been chatting for more than an hour, and the bottle of red wine was also empty.
Both of them actually felt like they had met so late. After all, it is not easy to find a like-minded person with common topics in reality.
Chen Feng usually likes to read online novels. In reality, there are not many people who can chat with him about online novels, and Zhang Kewei is barely one of them.
It’s just that this guy is busy with business and reads less novels. In the last few times we met, he didn’t take the initiative to talk about novels with Chen Feng.
In addition, although both of them actually like online novels, Chen Feng prefers fantasy and rarely reads urban novels. Zhang Kewei is just the opposite, preferring urban novels, fantasy and the like. See very little.
Therefore, if two people talk about online novels, they actually don't have many common topics, because they have not read many novels each other, and it is difficult to chat about a certain novel for a long time.
But Tang Hongying is different. Like Chen Feng, they both prefer fantasy novels. They have read many novels, and when they chat, they can talk about the specific contents. This, of course, made the two of them feel like confidants.
Tang Xinyi and her sister-in-law didn't expect that they would actually chat together, and they would have such a congenial conversation, which was a bit surprising.
The meal is not over until the bottle of wine is finished and the food on the table is eaten.
Because after eating and drinking, the two of them came to the living room to drink tea and watch TV together.
The two discussed their respective opinions on several novels and discussed the future plots of several follow-up novels.
In this way, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening before Tang Xinyi reminded her to say goodbye and leave.
On the way back, Tang Xinyi said to him in surprise: "Since I was a child, I have never seen my brother chatting with someone so harmoniously for so long. Even my sister-in-law said that I When I was in love with her, I never talked to you so much tonight."
Chen Feng said with a smile: "I did. I'm also a little surprised. People often say that it's not enough to talk to each other, but if you talk to each other, it means that a thousand glasses of wine are too short to meet a close friend, and it is normal to talk for three days and three nights. "
"This may be fate. I really didn't expect that you and my brother are so close to each other."
Tang Xinyi still felt a little incredible.
The two returned to the hotel, and Tang Xinyi did not leave, but stayed.
After all, Chen Feng was leaving tomorrow. She didn’t know when they would see each other again, and she felt very reluctant to leave.
After the two of them washed up, they lay on the bed and chatted for a while. When it was almost early in the morning, Tang Xinyi couldn't hold on any longer and slowly fell asleep.
No words for a night.
The next day, Chen Feng got up early and did a simple exercise in the room, and then had breakfast with Tang Xinyi in the hotel.
Originally, Chen Feng planned to ask Tang Xinyi to take him to the train station after breakfast, but her brother Tang Hongying sent him a WeChat message saying that his university colleague had a large collection of paintings and calligraphy. , if he is interested, you can take him there now to have a look.
When the two were chatting last night, Chen Feng told him about his hobby of collecting calligraphy, painting and photography, and mentioned it to him casually, saying that if he knew where to find good calligraphy, painting and photography, You can inform him of the work, as long as he likes it, the price is not an issue.
Chen Feng was just talking casually and spent most of the time chatting with Tang Hongying about online novels. But unexpectedly, Tang Hongying actually took it to heart and brought him news early this morning.
Chen Feng actually had nothing to do when he went back now. As soon as he heard the news and Tang Hongying's warm invitation, he decided to go and have a look.
Tang Xinyi was of course very happy to see that Chen Feng was not leaving for the time being, and immediately decided to go with Chen Feng.
So, the two drove to his colleague's home according to the address provided by Tang Hongying.
His colleague is a university professor, surnamed Li, who is more than ten years older than him. He is now in his fifties, energetic, wears glasses, and has a half-bald head. He looks very knowledgeable at first glance. look.
His family is located in a duplex villa in the city with a yard. It looks quite old. It is obvious that the family is not short of money.
Professor Li’s collection includes antique jades, calligraphy and painting works, fans and seals.
For this reason, Professor Li specially converted the second floor of the villa into a collection room. The things he collected were collected and kept in a museum style, which seemed very formal.
Chen Feng was only interested in his collection of calligraphy and painting works, which he specially collected in a separate room.
There are transparent glass storage cabinets inside, which are also equipped with anti-theft locks and alarms. In addition, of course, surveillance cameras are indispensable.
“I have a calligraphy work here by Zhu Zhishan from the Ming Dynasty. I usually would be reluctant to take it out, but today Hongying specially brought you here, so I will take it out and show it to you.”
After Professor Li finished speaking, he went to open a locked cabinet, put on gloves, carefully took out a scroll from it, and unfolded it for them to see.
"This is "The Story of Yueyang Tower" handwritten by Zhu Yunming. It is authentic. If it were auctioned, it would be worth at least 20 million."
Professor Li introduced it to them with a hint of pride and showoff.
Chen Feng glanced at it, but he didn't feel the life energy from this calligraphy, and he suddenly lost interest.
On the other hand, the brothers Tang Xinyi and Tang Hongying stared at the calligraphy with great interest and praised it.
Just looking at the cursive script written with a brush, even people who don't know calligraphy can still see it pleasingly, and there is a sense of style and artistic beauty in it.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think of this calligraphy?"
Seeing that Chen Feng looked a little distracted, Professor Li couldn't help but ask. When Chen Feng heard this, he nodded and said: "Very good, very good."
Professor Li smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I would have killed you if I changed the words on this picture before I don’t plan to sell it, but recently my son If you want to buy a house in New York to get married, you must know that the house prices in New York are higher than those in the capital, and the houses in better locations cost more than 200,000 yuan per square meter. The house price is $30,000 One square meter. I have no choice but to pay for it in order to have a grandson sooner. Therefore, I plan to sell this work. The base price is 20 million. If you are interested, you can find someone to come and appraise it, and then we can trade it. "
Chen Feng immediately shook his head and refused: "Thank you, I am not very interested in this calligraphy. However, I might be interested in your other calligraphy and painting works, such as this one. ”
Chen Feng pointed to a painting in a glass showcase on the right. It was a scroll landscape painting. Although there was a signature and the name of the author on it, Chen Feng couldn't understand it, but it was obvious that the painting contained what he needed. He could absorb the life energy for half an hour, so Chen Feng certainly didn't want to miss it.
“This painting was painted by a local painter in Jinling in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Although he was not very famous when he was alive, his painting skills were recognized as good, so this painting I After buying it, I have always attached great importance to it and kept it properly to this day."
Chen Feng said directly: "This is yours. If the price is right for the painting, I will buy it."
After a slight hesitation, Professor Li tentatively offered the price: "500,000, if you think the price is right, take it."
Chen Feng made a direct counteroffer: "The maximum price is 200,000. If it exceeds this price, I won't take it."
Chen Feng had bought works similar to this with the same amount of life energy for tens of thousands of yuan before, so this 200,000 yuan was not considered low.
The main reason is the introduction just now. He himself said that this painting was painted by an unknown artist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
"200,000 is too little, the minimum is 300,000." Professor Li also started bargaining.
Chen Feng pretended to think for a while, and was too lazy to bargain with him anymore, so he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, that's the price. Show me your other calligraphy and painting works."< br>
“Okay, I’ll take them out for you right away.”
Professor Li happily agreed, then opened the locked cabinet and took it out one by one to show Chen Feng.
There is no doubt that Chen Feng is now a big customer in his eyes. You know, he only spent 50,000 yuan to buy the painting just now. It took only three or four years to sell it for 300,000 yuan, which is definitely not a loss.
Chen Feng looked through his collection of calligraphy and painting works one by one, and found that there were quite a few, fifty or sixty works in total.
Unfortunately, the "pass rate" was too low. In addition to the painting selected by Chen Feng at the beginning, Chen Feng only found two more works among them, one was a flower and bird painting, and the other was calligraphy.
The three paintings were packaged, and the other party bid a total of 1 million. Chen Feng went for 800,000. In the end, the other party agreed to the price.
Next, Chen Feng asked Tang Hongying to help contact the lawyer here, signed a legal and compliant sales contract with Professor Li, transferred money to pay for the three works, and took them away.
Professor Li also wanted to take Chen Feng to see his other collections, but Chen Feng refused, as well as the other party's invitation to dinner.
When the three of them came out of Professor Li's house, Tang Hongying said with some sigh: "I didn't expect that you really like these collections and spent so much money on them. I'm afraid that you bought them too expensive. After all, this is The authors of the three paintings are not very famous. "
Chen Feng said with a smile: "I never care about the reputation of the other people when I buy these works of art, as long as I like them."
Tang Hongying. Shaking his head, he didn't say anything more.
Tang Xinyi asked curiously: "I'm curious, what aspect of these three works do you mainly like?"
Chen Feng briefly explained: "The main thing is the feeling. If I feel the same as this one, If the work is destined, I will buy it.”
"Okay, you think it's quite valuable. I think you're a little expensive."
"It's not expensive for me."
Tang Xinyi stopped talking. Chen Feng has money, so it seems right to spend more money to buy the things he likes.
Tang Hongying answered with a smile: "You are so generous, I don't dare to introduce anyone else to you, lest you be taken as a victim."
Chen Feng quickly shook his head: "No, you still have Any other introduction?"
Tang Hongying was silent for a while and then said: "Didn't you say you were also interested in photography before? It happens that a college classmate of mine is a photography enthusiast. He has collected and collected it himself over the years. Taken a lot of photography Anyway, I went to see some of the works and thought some of them were very good. It just so happened that he recently wanted to sell some of his photography collections to raise money for his son’s medical expenses. I didn’t plan to take you there, after all, he asked for a very high price, but now. See you take action like this Be generous, I have changed my mind. If you want to go, I will take you there."
Chen Feng asked curiously: "What disease does his son have?"
"Leukemia. ”
After hearing this answer, Chen Feng sighed in his heart and said that he could go and have a look.
So Tang Hongying immediately contacted his old classmate by phone.
Half an hour later, Chen Feng arrived at the home of his classmate Tang Hongying, in an old community.
After a little pleasantries, we went directly to see the photography works.
Not to mention, there are actually several works that meet Chen Feng’s requirements.
The other party's bid was indeed very high. The lowest price for a photo cost Chen Feng 50,000 yuan, and the highest bid was 300,000 yuan without any intention of lowering the price.
Chen Feng considered that all six works in total met his requirements, and the energy they could absorb was at least twenty minutes. In addition, the other party was raising medical expenses for his son, and Chen Feng finally accepted it. The other party’s offer.
Chen Feng paid the other party a total of 1.2 million yuan for the six pieces of photography, with the average price of each piece being 200,000 yuan, which is not a low price.
After signing the sales contract and transferring the money directly, this classmate Tang Hongying was so excited that he cried on the spot. His son was saved.
Once again, they declined the other party’s invitation to eat, and the three of them said goodbye to each other and left together.
At this time, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, so the three of them found a restaurant nearby and had a meal together.
During the dinner, Tang Hongying expressed his gratitude to Chen Feng, because he felt that the reason why Chen Feng agreed to such a high price was mainly because of his reputation as a "cheap uncle" and also sympathized with his classmate. encounter.
In short, Chen Feng is a good person.
Chen Feng did not deny this. He was able to agree to the other party's price of 1.2 million without much counter-offering, really because the other party had a son with leukemia.
