"Make your bid."
Zhou Hongyun sat opposite Chu Chen and asked him to name his price.
"10 billion."
Chu Chen said indifferently.
He had guessed Zhou Hongyun's intentions.
"10 billion, hehe, young man, you really dare to ask for an exorbitant price.”
Zhou Hongyun sneered in disdain and slowly extended two fingers.
"That's the number. There's no more."
Although Old Chen had previously estimated that the true work of the Sage of Calligraphy, the " Mourning Invitation," was worth two billion, that was an extremely conservative estimate.
If it was widely publicized and then auctioned off at a large scale, the price of this " Mourning Invitation " should not be a problem to rise to three billion, or even higher.
A top-notch collectible like this would be fought over by countless top-notch tycoons.
Moreover, as time passed, the value of the only authentic work of the Sage of Calligraphy would definitely increase in the future.
"Two billion?"
"Director Zhou, you're going overboard.”
As one of their own, Xia Shiyan's father spoke up for Chu Chen.
"Previously, Old Chen had conservatively estimated that the 'Mourning Invitation' was worth at least two billion. If it was auctioned off, it wouldn't be a problem to sell it for three billion.”
"Let's raise it a little more."
Zhou Hongyi laughed again.
Instead of answering Xia Shiyan's father, he corrected her,"
"Three billion?"
"Haha, you're thinking too much."
"I said 300 million."
Zhou Hongyi's words were shocking.
"300 million?"
Xia Shiyan's father's expression changed.
"President Zhou, what do you mean?"
You're going too far by offering 300 million for something worth billions!
Although he didn't want to offend Zhou Hongyun, as a wealthy man in Jiang Zhou, Xia Shiyan's father wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, Xia Shiyan's father had already treated Chu Chen as one of his own. This was even more intolerable.
"I advise you not to be a busybody."
Zhou Hongyun glared at Xia Shiyan's father, signaling him to shut up.
"Chu Chen, from Linjiang County, Jiangzhou City. His mother is a high school teacher, and his father is a doctor. They both work in Linjiang County.”
Zhou Hongyun seemed to be chatting casually with Chu Chen.
"He has a villa and ten buildings under his name.”
"Young man, I advise you to think carefully.”
Before Zhou Hongyun came, he had already investigated Chu Chen thoroughly.
Chu Chen was only worth a few billion now. He had no background or backing.
A few billion was a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was nothing in Zhou Hongyun's eyes.
A kid with no background and no backing. Wasn't this a place for him to bully as he pleased?
As for Xia Shiyan's father, Zhou Hongyun didn't take him to heart. He was just the chairman of a listed company with a market value of more than 10 billion.
He was not his match at all.
"Zhou Hongyun, don't go too far!"
Hearing Zhou Hongyun's threat to Chu Chen, Xia Shiyan's father scolded Zhou Hongyun and stood up for Chu Chen.
"Hmph, I told you not to be a busybody.”
"Otherwise, those companies that are working with your company will have to give up on working with you.”
Zhou Hongyun turned around and threatened Xia Shiyan's father.
Xia Shiyan's father was furious.
If those companies really gave up on cooperating with the Xia Corporation, the Xia Corporation would probably face a huge crisis.
Xia Shiyan's father felt powerless.
If he was stronger and had some background, Zhou Hongyun would not dare to do this.
"Director Zhou, I've seen it."
"This 'Mourning Invitation' is definitely not an authentic work of the Sage of Calligraphy, Wang Xizhi. If I'm not mistaken, it should be an imitation of the Tang Dynasty.”
At this moment, Sun Haobo, who had just finished his observation, walked over and said confidently.
"Sun Haobo, is your old habit acting up again?!”
Old Chen scolded Sun Haobo. He dared to swear on his reputation that the " Mourning Invitation " was definitely the real work of the Sage of Calligraphy.
Sun Haobo subconsciously looked away after being scolded by Elder Chen, but he still refused to change his mind.
Sun Haobo insisted that Chu Chen's " Mourning Invitation " was fake.
"Director Zhou, you gave him more than 300 million just now. I think 30 million is about it.”
Sun Haobo added. He was even more evil and heartless.
One had to know that even if it was an imitation of the Tang Dynasty, its value would definitely be around hundreds of millions.
At a large auction previously, the Tang Dynasty imitation of " Mourning Invitation " was sold for 310 million.
"Is that so?"
"So the [Mourning Invitation] is fake, what a pity.”
Zhou Hongyun said with a smile, without a trace of regret.
"I can't even offer 300 million. I'll only give you 30 million.”
Today, Zhou Hongyun was determined to get the " Mourning Invitation ". Regardless of whether Chu Chen wanted to sell it or not, he had to get it.
At this moment, Chu Chen's phone suddenly rang.
"I'm not in the villa. I'm in Yunjian Villa.”
So it was Chu Chen's mission reward. The transfer of 15% of the shares of the Cloud Sky Group had arrived and required Chu Chen's signature.
"Okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes. Mr. Chu, please wait a moment.”
A voice came from the phone.
"Little Chen, what's wrong?"
Xia Shiyan's father asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. I bought 15% of the shares of the Cloud Sky Group previously. Now, the share transfer agreement has arrived."
Chu Chen said honestly.
As soon as he said that, the entire villa fell into a dead silence.
15% shares of Yunxiao Group?
Chu Chen bought 15% of the shares of the Cloud Sky Group?!
How was this possible?
Even Zhou Hongyun was shocked, let alone Xia Shiyan's father.
One had to know that although the total assets of the Cloud Sky Group were only over 20 billion, which was even less than Zhou Hongyun's company.
However, the Yunxiao Corporation had a backer, and it was a huge backer!
Jiang Zhou's Yunxiao Group was actually a branch of Hangzhou Wanding Group.
Hangzhou's Wanding Corporation was a colossus!!!
Think about it, even the total assets of the subsidiary companies are more than 20 billion. What would the main company be like?
Moreover, there was more than one subsidiary company under the Wanding Group. It was enough to show how terrifying the Wanding Group was.
If he wanted to acquire Yunxiao Group's shares, he had to get it from the chairman of Wanding Group.
Someone who could acquire 15% of Yunxiao Group's shares from a big shot like Wanding Group's chairman definitely had a terrifying identity.
"Hahaha."
"Brat, are you trying to make me laugh to death? To deal with me, you even made up such a childish lie.”
"You're even buying the shares of Yunxiao Group. Why don't you go to heaven?”
"Are you qualified to know the chairman of Wanding Corporation?”
Zhou Hongyun did not believe Chu Chen at all.
Even he wasn't qualified to meet the Wanding Corporation's CEO, let alone Chu Chen, who had no background whatsoever.
Not only Zhou Hongyun, but even Elder Chen and Xia Shiyan's father did not believe Chu Chen.
If Chu Chen had said that he had bought the shares of other companies, they would have believed him.
However, they could not believe that Chu Chen had bought the shares of the Cloud Sky Group.
It was almost impossible to acquire the shares of a subsidiary company from Wanding Corporation.
"Brat, you're bragging to the heavens.”
"Come, come, come. We'll wait here and see who you can wait for.”
Zhou Hongyun looked like he was watching a show.
He did not believe that anyone would come.
Time slowly passed. Ten minutes passed.
"It's been so long, why hasn't anyone come to deliver the share transfer agreement to Mr. Chu?”
"I'm afraid there's no such person.”
Zhou Hongyun continued to mock Chu Chen.
At this moment, there was a knock on the villa door.
Xia Shiyan's father went to open the door.
In the next second, Zhou Hongyun was shocked when he saw the person who walked in!
