"Why isn't a Han costume worth 200 million?”
Ling Chen's last sentence was filled with sadness and questioning.
This…
For a moment, everyone present, whether they understood or not, was completely subdued by Ling Chen's aura, and all of them were stunned.
After a while, someone's face turned red.
Someone looked ashamed.
Someone asked himself.
"Yeah, why can those so-called luxury goods be sold for so much money? On the contrary, why couldn't such a resplendent Han costume left behind by the ancestor?”
"Is there such a big difference between Chinese clothing and those luxury goods? Of course not!"
"It's just that some people nowadays worship foreign things and always think that foreign things are good. The moon abroad is round, so they forget their roots and blindly curry favor with them!”
"The things left behind by our ancestor are not bad!”
In that instant, many of the people who understood Ling Chen's words couldn't help but feel ashamed and bury their heads in shame.
Some of the reporters heard Ling Chen's words and their eyes lit up, immediately taking pictures of this scene.
"This is simply sophistry!"
Lin Chuchu reacted and screamed,""Ling Chen, you're spouting nonsense.”
"This Han costume of yours is not worth it at all. How can it compare to those luxury goods?”
Because she was too flustered and anxious, Lin Chuchu subconsciously voiced out her thoughts. For a moment, everyone's eyes gathered on her.
"It seems that it's really not worth this price.”
Some of Lin Chuchu's fans mumbled subconsciously. However, their tone was not confident and their eyes were evasive, as if they were very guilty.
Ling Chen laughed again.
"Miss Lin, do you mean that my Han costume can't be compared to those luxury goods?" he asked leisurely. Oh, that's true. What kind of air vest are you wearing now? Moreover, you're the spokesperson of a luxury brand. In your heart, the so-called luxury goods are the most high-end things, right?”
"I…"
Lin Chuchu was speechless.
She wasn't stupid and knew that Ling Chen was setting a trap for her. However, looking at Ling Chen's gaze, Lin Chuchu felt aggrieved and couldn't help but say,"No matter what you say, you're blackmailing me!”
"There's naturally a reason why luxury goods are expensive!”
"But what about you? You can make the clothes, but this Hanfu costs 200 million? How is that possible? I don't believe anyone will buy it!”Lin Chuchu gritted her teeth.
"That's because you're too inexperienced!"
"You don't understand what the ancestor left behind!" Ling Chen said calmly.”
"All the good and beautiful things cannot be declared! The inheritance left behind by the ancestors, the exquisite beauty and tranquility emitted from the ancient Chinese objects, was the highest level of luxury.”
Seeing the reporters pointing their cameras at him, Ling Chen faced the camera and slowly spoke.
"Those Chinese colors such as vermilion, bright yellow, and pinkish purple, those mysterious patterns, and the style of the Eastern palace, those exquisite craftsmanship, are enough to amaze the world!”
"There are too many quintessence of Chinese culture. I can't finish it in a short time.”
"Just the eight wonders of Yanjing: silk inlaid, gold inlaid, cloisonné, jade carving, ivory carving, carved lacquer, palace carpet, and Beijing embroidery are all domestic products that many people can't afford in their lifetime!”
"Who says we don't have luxury goods? It wasn't that there weren't any, but that ordinary people were too inexperienced and hadn't reached that level yet.”
After saying that, Ling Chen looked at Lin Chuchu again and said playfully,"Miss Lin, you don't understand. You think that the dress in my hand is not worth that price, but that doesn't mean that others don't understand! Do you really want me to go to Sotheby's or Christie's and bid a high price at the auction before you'll be willing to accept reality?”
"Haha!"
Hearing Ling Chen's words, Lin Chuchu laughed.
"Mr. Ling, you really know how to joke!”
He was even going to an auction!
How was this possible?
Lin Chuchu sneered in her heart. This Han costume was just something made by a folk artist. No matter how beautiful it was, it was just so-so. What right did it have to be auctioned off?
"Mr. Ling, no matter how much you try to deny it, there is still no evidence to prove that your Han costume is worth so much money!”
"So, you're blackmailing me!" Lin Chuchu sneered.”
"Dear reporters, do you agree with me?”
Lin Chuchu's eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at everyone pitifully.
"This…what Miss Lin said makes sense.”
Someone muttered.
"Hey!"
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion.
"Look, it's Heavenly King Liu!"
"It really is Heavenly King Liu!"
The group of reporters became excited and immediately changed their style. They aimed their cameras at a middle-aged man who walked out of the filming set.
Heavenly King Liu walked out of the set accompanied by his assistant and a few foreign men.
In recent years, the Heavenly King had rarely acted, but his popularity was still very high. As the idol of many people in the mainland, the moment he appeared on the scene, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Liu Hua walked over curiously.
At first glance, he saw Xia Fanxing and her colleagues holding the stunning Han costume.
"What a beautiful Han costume and phoenix coronet!”
Because he often acted, Liu Hua had a certain understanding of these ancient clothes and props. Moreover, he was very obsessed with this kind of art and had done some research.
Following this, Liu Hua's heart trembled, and he walked up to Ling Chen, looking infatuated as he stared at the gorgeous Han clothing that Ling Chen had made.
"Hey."
"Who is the foreigner beside Liu Hua?”
A reporter muttered.
At this moment, a Caucasian foreigner beside Liu Hua suddenly looked at Ling Chen deeply.
A few seconds later, he revealed a look of surprise and confusion as he walked up to Ling Chen, excitedly reaching out to shake his hand as he said,"Oh my god, Mr. Ling, I didn't expect to meet you here!”
"Ahem, who are you?"
Ling Chen asked the foreigner.
"Hey, I remember now. This foreigner is Hermès Greater Asia President Steve!”
A reporter who had previously reported on financial news suddenly realized and blurted out subconsciously.
Steve's expression froze, and seeing that Ling Chen did not know him, he forced a smile, handed over a business card, and introduced himself,"Mr. Lingchen, my name is Steve. I spoke to you on the phone earlier.”
"So it's you."
Ling Chen didn't take the name card, and instead smiled.
"Mr. Steve, do you know him?”
Lin Chuchu was extremely surprised, and pointed at Ling Chen.
Of course, she knew Steve because just now, Hermès Group, led by Steve, the president of the Asia region, personally came to the crew to invite the king to be the new spokesperson of Hermès in the Dragon Country. The two sides had also discussed for a long time.
Because Lin Chuchu was the spokesperson of another luxury brand, Steve knew her too.
As for Lin Chuchu, she knew Steve well.
He was the CEO of Hermès Asia, one of the top three in the global luxury goods industry!
He was also a top figure in the international fashion circle!
But now, Mr. Steve seemed to know Ling Chen?
What was going on?
The smile on Lin Chuchu's face suddenly froze, and her eyes suddenly became a little flustered.
"Of course I know Mr. Ling."
The next moment, Mr. Steve said excitedly,""Our company has always wanted to invite Mr. Ling to become the only top designer of Hermes and the chief design director of Oriental Elements.”
"Mr. Ling's attainments in Chinese culture are deeply admirable. Our chairman also admires Mr. Ling very much and is his fan.”
Then, Steve looked at Ling Chen and said with a bitter smile,""Unfortunately, Mr. Lingchen rejected our company's invitation.
Boom!
Lin Chuchu's expression changed drastically, and she turned pale instantly!
The surrounding reporters widened their eyes and felt their scalps go numb!
What was going on?
This young man?
He was actually recruited by the world's top luxury jewelry group? A personal invitation from the CEO of the Greater Asia Region to become the only top-notch designer of the Hermes Group?
The other party's expression of endless praise and thirst for talent was not fake!
Who was this Ling Chen?
While the reporters were making excited and shocked guesses, Mr. Steve also noticed Liu Hua's abnormality and saw the stunning gorgeous Han costume.
"Oh my god!"
Steve was instantly excited. His eyes widened in shock.
"Mr. Ling, is this your new work?" Steve asked excitedly.”
"I guess so." Ling Chen said calmly.
"Too beautiful, too gorgeous!"
Steve waved his hands excitedly and said,""This is simply a work of art bestowed by God. It's too perfect, too perfect!”
His eyes were filled with passion as he circled around the luxurious dress a few times, not hiding his love for it.
"Mr. Ling, are you selling this piece of work?" Steve asked in a trembling voice.”
"You want it?"
Ling Chen playfully smiled as he looked at him.
When Lin Chuchu heard this, her face turned even paler. She staggered back two steps and looked up in disbelief.
"I want it!"
At this moment.
The Heavenly King, who had been in a daze, suddenly turned to look at Ling Chen and said in the most excited tone,"Sir, sell this Han costume to me.”
"Name a price, 100 million Hong Kong dollars? Or how much?"
Liu Hua said impatiently.
The desire on his face didn't seem fake at all.
Liu Hua seemed to feel that something was wrong with his emotions. He muttered excitedly,"Everyone knows that I have a daughter.”
"I've always wanted to give my daughter a gift, a unique gift in the world! I've been looking for it for a long time all these years, but I haven't found it!”
"But now, I have found it!"
Then, Liu Hua said in the most sincere tone,""Mr. Ling, I really like this Han costume! I believe that when my daughter grows up and gets married in this Han costume, she will be the happiest woman in the world!”
"So, Mr. Ling, no matter what, please give it up. I beg you.”
The Heavenly King said in the most sincere tone.
On the side, CEO Steve had also wanted to make an offer.
However, when he heard what the Heavenly King said, he sighed and smiled bitterly."Mr. Liu, you're a good father.”
"Our company has always been determined to get Mr. Lingchen's works. Let alone 100 million, even if it's 300 million or 500 million, our company is willing to buy it!”
"But this time, I can only regretfully announce my withdrawal.”
As he spoke, Steve shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ling Chen, saying,"Mr. Ling, please reconsider our company's job offer.”
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested.”
Ling Chen said without hesitation.
"Sigh, what a pity."
Steve said and left with a bitter smile.
This scene had already shocked everyone.
Lin Chuchu's face was pale, and her body was trembling. She stared at Ling Chen blankly, unable to say a word.
Xia Fanxing covered her mouth with her hands and forced herself not to scream.
Lin Chuchu's fans and passers-by were also dumbfounded.
Afterwards, Ling Chen smiled.
"Since Mr. Liu wants it, I'll sell this Han costume and phoenix coronet to you.”
"200 million, what do you think?"
"No problem!"
Liu Hua was instantly overjoyed. He laughed excitedly and agreed without saying anything.
He shouted excitedly in his heart!
It was worth it!
This was definitely a supreme treasure that could be treated as a family heirloom!
