Chapter 389: The old man refuses to sell the painting?
Huo Xiaonuan found the phone number that the foreign man left her on the day of the accident, then edited a message and sent it to him, informing him of the cost of repairing the vehicle.
Soon, she received a reply from the other party.
Huo Xiaonuan looked at the screen of her mobile phone, reading the text sent by the other party, feeling a little confused.
Did this man mean to treat her to a meal and apologize for the dispute that day?
It's not necessary.
It's just a traffic accident, just pay compensation and it's over. She's not the kind of person who blackmails people. He should just pay whatever the car repair cost. Why would they meet and have dinner together?
Besides, she doesn't have that much free time.
"No need, sir. If you have any questions about the cost details, you can add my WeChat, which is this mobile phone number. I will send you the repair site pictures sent by the 4S shop."
Soon after the message was sent, the phone rang and Huo Xiaonuan saw that she had received a new contact request.
The other person’s avatar is a snowy mountain and his nickname is in English.
She clicked to agree to add the person, and immediately received a greeting emoticon from the other party.
"I've already told you that there's no need to treat me to a meal. I appreciate your kindness."
The message was passed on and the other party did not insist this time.
"Okay, since the young lady doesn't want to honor me, then forget about the meal. I'll reimburse you for the repair costs."
In a hotel in Beijing, Evan transferred the money according to the price on the bill, his eyes full of unconcealable gloom.
This woman was quite defensive, but Evan wasn't about to stop there.
"Boss, the car is ready."
The subordinate came in from outside and reported respectfully. The blond man turned his head and looked at the other party.
“Charles, do you think the Gu family will agree to our request?”
Hearing the boss' question, the young man's expression flashed with mockery for a moment, which was a contempt for the "diehards" of the Gu family.
"Our KM Group buys their products to give face to the Gu family. They have to do this business even if they don't want to."
Evan laughed and pointed at his men.
"Charles, what you said is unreasonable, but it is the truth."
After he finished speaking, the man slowly stood up and walked out, followed closely by the man named Charles.
An ancient house in Beijing.
The lights in the living room were brightly on. Gu Le'an, the eldest son of the Gu family, stood in front of the table with his eyes wide open, looking at the person sitting in his house with a swagger, his chest heaving up and down.
Evan noticed that there wasn't even a cup of tea in front of him and smiled disdainfully.
Isn’t it said that the Gu family attaches the most importance to rules and etiquette? How come when guests come, they don’t know how to entertain them properly?
"Grandpa, I think the price we offered is not low. That summer night painting is worth at most 20 million. I'm offering you 30 million. Grandpa Gu, are you still unwilling to give in?"
Gu Peizhi, the head of the Gu family, looked at the uninvited guest with a displeased look on his face.
"Gu collects calligraphy and paintings just because he likes them. Mr. Evan is trying to take away what he loves. Let alone 30 million, even if it's 50 million or 100 million, I won't sell it."
Evan laughed and tried to persuade him again, "Three of Master Mo Xun's four seasons paintings are in my uncle's hands. Why don't you help him out by selling the last summer night painting? Then you will have all four paintings, which will be perfect, right?"
Gu Peizhi almost spit in his face when he heard the man's shameless words.
Shit!
What do you mean by four pictures complete?
Those three paintings originally belonged to their country. They were snatched away by the foreigners after they launched the war of aggression. That's why so many rare works and precious treasures are scattered abroad.
Where do they get the nerve to say such things?
No matter how much money the golden-haired boy in front of him offered, he would not sell his country's treasure to these foreign devils!
Even if we donate it to a museum, we can't let them get away with it!
"Old Master, is this really not negotiable?"
Feeling that the golden-haired boy's face instantly darkened after his refusal, Gu Peizhi snorted, still not bowing his head or giving in.
They want this painting, dream on!
"This is Gu's private collection. I have the final say on whether to sell it or not. Well, you don't have to say anything more. I will not give this painting to you. Le An, please get out."
As soon as the order to expel was issued, Charles behind Evan raised his gun and pointed it directly at Gu Peizhi's forehead.
He shouted in extremely broken Chinese, "Mr. Gu, you are just refusing to accept my offer. We have already offered a very high price, so please don't be ungrateful."
Gu Peizhi sat there very calmly.
Who the hell is their KM Group? They dare to point a gun at his head?
You want to scare him with this rubbish? Do you think he's a three-year-old kid?
Damn foreign devils, they were pretending to be polite just now, but now their true colors are revealed.
Does this mean that if the business fails, you have to rob?
As soon as Charles took out his gun, a group of bodyguards in black suits and white shirts rushed in from outside. They were all members of the Gu family.
They all looked stern and stared at the two foreigners.
"Charles, put the gun away. What are you doing? Even if the deal doesn't go through, there is still righteousness. Old Master Gu is a respected elder in Beijing. Even if he doesn't want to sell it, we can still be friends."
Evan said this with a grin, his lips raised, but there was clearly no smile in his eyes.
As he said this, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at Gu Peizhi and Gu Le'an again.
"Since the deal is not going through, I will take my leave now. However, I still want to remind Mr. Gu that you might as well give it some more thought. I will stay in Beijing for a while. If Mr. Gu changes his mind, please inform me at any time. I will not give you a penny less than 30 million."
After saying that, Evan walked out the door.
The bodyguards made way for him.
When he reached the door, he turned around and said with a smile, "I heard that the old man's grandson is studying in Germany now. He is really outstanding."
The extremely calm tone made Gu Le'an's alarm bells ring.
Everyone knows that the KM Group is ruthless in its actions and will use any means to achieve its goals.
Are they trying to threaten my family?
Evan turned around, and Gu Le'an followed him, watching him walk out of the Gu family's door.
There were seven cars parked on the asphalt road outside, which was lined with ginkgo trees. There were three or four people standing outside each car.
Gu Le'an knew that those were all people from the KM Group.
They came here intentionally to intimidate us tonight and even prepared to rob us.
However, this kid must have understood that if he really wanted to fight with the Gu family face to face, he would not be able to leave the capital city in one piece.
"Dad, Xiaoche is still in Germany." Gu Le'an said anxiously.
The road ahead is long and the sky is high. He cannot ensure that his son is safe. Is he really going to give the painting to these foreigners?
Gu Peizhi's eyebrows were furrowed, and his wrinkled face showed displeasure and shame.
After thinking for a few minutes, Gu Peizhi looked at his son and said, "Go, call the Huo family and ask for Huo Yunzheng."
