Chapter 2006 The dust settles
Having had a pleasant lunch at the Bai family, Huo Jinzhi and Tang Xiaonan said goodbye and left, and the gift was naturally left. It was an oil painting obtained by Huo Jinzhi auctioned abroad. It is said to be the work of a well-known European abstract painter.
Huo Jinzhi didn't know how to paint, and he had never heard of that painter, and he didn't buy this painting. He never invested in art because he didn't understand art.
He never invests in industries he doesn't understand. He is afraid of losing money when he is not aware of the industry.
He took this painting from Tang Aiguo. Tang Aiguo likes to be arty and pretend to be a literati. He attends some art auctions from time to time. His family has collected a bunch of paintings. Huo Jinzhi felt that those were waste paper and that eight out of ten would lose money.
But the result was beyond his expectations. It was a mistake for the first time. Although most of the paintings collected by Tang Aiguo did not appreciate, the remaining half made money and made a lot of money.
Later, Huo Jinzhi humbly asked his second brother-in-law, and he also wanted to make some money on the artwork. Tang Aiguo said something that made him feel a little bit furious.
"I don't understand either. I just buy it randomly anyway. Whoever makes me lucky can make money by buying it randomly."
Huo Jinzhi believed in his second brother-in-law, and it is very likely that the blind cat hit a dead mouse. Making money depends on luck. The right time, place and people are all indispensable. He and Tang Aiguo have good luck in making money.
But Huo Jinzhi still did not invest in artworks. One reason was that he had made enough money, and the other reason was that he did not want to violate the principles and invest in industries he didn't understand.
Bai's father was still very familiar with Western painters. After only a few minutes of appreciation, he knew that the painting was genuine and expensive, and the painter's reputation became increasingly famous, which meant that the painting was valued higher and higher.
"This painting cannot be collected, it's too expensive."
Bai's father was embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift. The current market for this painting will cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars, and it may be even higher in the future. Accepting such a valuable gift at the first time will make their Bai family too rude.
"Uncle, you are a consignee, so you can find that this painting is good. A layman like me, looks like waste paper. This painting was also given by my friend. It was all gone. Is it a waste of resources or is it more suitable for you, a destined person? Do you think this is the case?"
Huo Jinzhi was so clever that he pushed the painting back. Bai's father really liked the painting. After a few polite things, he finally accepted the painting and planned to give Huo Jinzhi a painting after a while.
Although his paintings are not very valuable, they still have collection value in the market. Now a painting can be sold for more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. However, he hasn't sold paintings for a long time. Most of them are given to friends of wealthy businessmen, and of course they are not for free. These wealthy businessmen are very polite. If they don't give cash, they will give back some more valuable gifts.
Bai's father also accepted all the car, jewelry, etc., which is a reciprocity exchange. He was unhappy if he didn't accept the other party. He could continue to make friends after receiving it.
The circle of friends of adults is full of such an elegant smell of money.
Su Danqing was still a little reluctant, Huo Jinzhi pulled him out. Looking at his stupid look, Bai Wei couldn't help laughing and sent them out of the yard. She also conveyed feelings to Su Danqing and secretly sent Qiubo.
"Next time, let my grandparents and uncles and others invite my uncle and aunt to dinner and contact us by phone." Huo Jinzhi said with a smile.
"Okay, wait for your call."
Bai's father agreed, which meant that he agreed to his daughter's marriage with Su Danqing and was preparing to discuss the marriage with the elders of the Su family.
