Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 483
Maple Leaf Country, Vancouver.

Yan Detai, who was preparing for a solo exhibition, looked at the scene of people coming and going and the heated discussion in front of him, and his face was filled with a satisfied smile.

His wife, Zhu Zhaoshun, was also happy for her husband and wanted to celebrate Yan Detai. Although the two got together through a family marriage, they supported each other for most of their lives, and they were inseparable emotionally.

The three generations of the Yan family's ancestors were wealthy businessmen. For example, Yan Detai's father, Yan Qingxiang, and grandfather, Yan Yutang, were well-known entrepreneurs in the old days. They also wrote their legends in that turbulent and magnificent historical torrent.

But the story always comes to an end. It is said that the rich are only three generations old, and when the Yan family was passed on to him, it happened to be the third generation.

The influence of the whole family in the business world is not as good as before, and Yan Detai himself has no ambition to forge ahead in the business world, but chose to indulge in the field of art.

Especially in painting, Yan Detai showed great talent and won numerous honors.

When he was only 27 years old, he won the second prize of the Zhonghai Youth Art Exhibition for his oil painting "Red Star Farm", and was successfully selected for the [-] National Youth Art Workers Exhibition.

At the age of 50, when he knew his destiny, his watercolor painting "Longmen Grottoes" was successfully selected into the Asian Art Exhibition and won the honorary title of Honorable Mention, becoming a pivotal famous artist in the industry.

Afterwards, it was out of control, and Yan Detai successively created excellent watercolor paintings such as "Dunhuang Impression", "Blooming", "Guangxi Landscape", "Sunflower", "Chaoxu", which were not only collected by domestic art museums, but even It has been favored by the official of Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture, an island country.

It can be seen from this that his strength is by no means bought with money, but with real materials.

In the early 90s, Zhonghai Bookstore also published "Yan Detai Watercolor Collection" specially for him.

The "360 Lines" column of Zhonghai TV broadcasted a feature film of Yan Detai's watercolor painting.

Now, Yan Detai is 70 years old. Not only are his children and grandchildren full, his life is complete, and even his personal art exhibition is running smoothly. He has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

However, the good mood was soon broken by a sudden phone call. He had just returned home when he received a call from China.

"Hello, is this old Mr. Yan Detaiyan?"

The person on the other side spoke the pure Xia language, which made Yan Detai feel relieved. He smiled and nodded, "I am, are you?"

"Hello Mr. Yan, I am Wu Zhijie from a trustworthy housing agency."

Wu Zhijie, who was making an overseas phone call, felt sorry for the phone bill, so he was not polite, and asked directly: "Mr. Yan, do you intend to sell the Yan Family Garden at No. 699 Yuyuan Road, Zhonghai?"

Yan Detai, who was in a good mood at first, heard this, his whole blood pressure soared in an instant, and angrily scolded: "Your housing agency has called me? That is our Yan family's ancestral house, and it is not for sale. !"

Then he hung up the phone directly, his chest still rising and falling.

It's no wonder that Yan Detai was so angry at his age.

It is really that the Yan Family Garden is of extraordinary significance to him, because it was confiscated during a special period, so Yan Detai has not been back to live in it for a long time.

But anyway, it's also where he was born and raised, so the feeling is there.

In addition, he is not short of money now, and he is not down to the point where he wants to sell his ancestral property. After all, he is from a wealthy family, so he can't afford to lose this person.

Seeing Yan Detai answering the phone, Zhu Zhaoshun raised his eyebrows, and immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong? Who is calling?"

Zhu Zhaoshun is also a well-known lady. The former Zhonghai Qiuxin Shipyard was the property of Zhu's family, and the predecessor of Qiuxin Shipyard was Zhonghai Qiuxin Machinery Manufacturing Shipyard. Its founder was Zhu Zhiyao, who was the elder brother of Zhu Zhaoshun's grandfather.

Faced with his wife's inquiry, Yan Detai immediately complained angrily: "A domestic real estate agent actually called. Come to ask me if Yan's garden is for sale. Do you think it's outrageous or not?"

After hearing this, Zhu Zhaoshun was also very angry: "Who would come to buy other people's ancestral property? It's really rude!"

As a result, before the husband and wife finished talking, Wu Zhijie called again.

The current mobile phone does not have a caller ID, so Yan Detai didn't know it was Wu Zhijie's call, so he answered it.

As soon as the phone was connected, Wu Zhijie pleaded very fast: "Mr. Yan, I am really sincere, and the price will definitely satisfy you."

When Yan Detai heard Wu Zhijie's voice, his gray beard shook wildly again with anger.

He took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength, "Get out!"

After receiving two phone calls, Yan Detai began to breathe rapidly, and sat on the chair blowing his beard and staring.

He really couldn't understand why his ancestral property was suddenly targeted by the real estate agency?
However, within a few minutes, the phone rang again.

Yan Detai didn't even think about it, so he just hung up.

However, the caller was very persistent and called one after another.

Zhu Zhaoshun was also helpless, and said: "Just pick it up first, and just explain it clearly to others."

"Ok."

Under Zhu Zhaoshun's persuasion, Yan Detai finally answered the phone.

When the phone was connected, Wu Zhijie hurriedly said, "Mr. Yan, we are really sincere. The buyer is the new richest man in Mainland China. We are not short of money."

Through the phone, Yan Detai was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and his words became even more angry: "Even if he is the richest man in the world! The Yan family's ancestral property is not for sale!"

Then he yelled loudly: "Don't call again, or I will call the police!"

On the other side of the phone, Wu Zhijie was sprayed bloody by Yan Detai, and there was nothing to do. Although he was willing to add money, but he was not short of money, what could he do?

In desperation, Wu Zhijie had no choice but to call Lu Yiming and tell him the news.

"Mr. Lu, things are not going well. Mr. Yan's attitude is very firm. No matter what, he refuses to sell the ancestral property of the Yan family. The main reason is that Mr. Yan is already 70 years old, so I dare not say more. I can't bear this responsibility if I get angry. Look..."

Lu Yiming had already expected the difficulty of this matter.

After all, if he really wanted to sell it, Yan Detai would have sold it long ago, and he didn't have to wait until [-] to be auctioned off by Chen Tianjiao.

But the more difficult things are often the more worth the effort.

Lu Yiming thought about it, and felt that such a low-level method of harassing phone calls could not be used, it was too tasteless.

People live in the world, either seeking fame or seeking profit. The Yan family is in decline now, but the airs are not down, and it is so vulgar to talk about money directly.

People who are not short of money, what do they pursue?The pursuit is a style and interest.As the saying goes, money can't buy me happiness.

Lu Yiming believes that as long as he does what he likes, it doesn't matter what ancestral property is or is not.

"Does Mr. Yan have any hobbies?"

Wu Zhijie hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well... I heard that he is a famous painter, especially good at watercolor painting. I got his contact information from the Zhonghai Artists Association."

Lu Yiming clenched his chin when he heard this, and then he had an idea: "Well, you donate 100 million to the Zhonghai Artists Association in my name, and ask them to help organize a watercolor art exhibition, and then invite Mr. Yan to come to participate in the exhibition. "

When Wu Zhijie heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Wonderful, you still have a way, I'll contact you right away."

Sure enough, he is the richest man, his brain is flexible.

No, it really is rich. I'm not sure if I can win this house, so I invested 100 million in it first.

This is clearly a rich man's way of playing, and ordinary people can't learn it.

After all, if Yan Detai disagreed with life and death in the end, the 100 million yuan would be in vain.

In North America, Yan Detai, who is still ignorant of this matter, is accompanied by Zhu Zhaoshun, and has just flown from Vancouver to New York to attend a gathering of the rich Chinese circle.

During the war, there were many wealthy families who immigrated to North America from China.

Ambitious, went to the United States to continue to expand the family's business territory.

Most of the salted fish who have no pursuits have settled in the Maple Leaf Country, which is suitable for fishing and retirement.

However, they are all from China, and at least they belong to the same circle, so they keep in touch frequently, and occasionally come out to get together and get in touch with each other.

Such things as favors should never be maintained until they are needed.

Usually, Yan Detai is obsessed with art, and these social affairs are all handled by Zhu Zhaoshun. On the plane, Yan Detai asked: "Which family initiated this party?"

"It's the Su family."

Then Zhu Zhaoshun explained: "Didn't the Su family leave an elder not long ago? We also sent silk money to express our condolences. Recently, the second daughter and son-in-law of the old Su family have also come from China for a while, and they said that they would use this It’s an opportunity for everyone to get together.”

When Yan Detai heard the words, he couldn't help being reminded of many past events and memories in his heart, and then he sighed: "Oh, we are all old."

new York.

The chain of Chinese restaurants opened by Louise McAdam did not open today, but was reserved by the Su family as a banquet venue.

Louis McAdam is Jock's American dad.

The Su family came early.

"Hi Louis."

Su Bao greeted Louis McAdam.

Louise McAdam waved his hand: "Hey, Su, good morning. The grandson-in-law of your Su family is amazing. I heard that he is already the richest man in Xia Kingdom. He is young, but he is older than us in making money. Guys are ruthless, and the future is limitless."

Su Bao said a few words politely, but the smile on his face never stopped.

Recently, because of Lu Yiming, the Su family, which was in decline, has gradually risen again. Many people want to take the opportunity to make friends with Lu Yiming, the newly promoted richest man in the Xia Kingdom, and even bring the Su family together. Many benefits.

Lu Yiming's ability to make money is really great, especially in the US stocks, which made many people jealous and wanted to follow suit and buy some stocks with investment potential.

At this moment, Yan Detai walked in and said, "What are you two talking about? You are so happy."

Seeing Yan Detai, Su Bao greeted with a smile: "Brother Yan, you are here, come sit down and let's have a good chat together."

Later, he saw Zhu Zhaoshun behind Yan Detai, and hurriedly said, "Hey, sister-in-law. Long time no see, sister-in-law is still so energetic."

Louise McAdam said: "I was just talking about the grandson-in-law of Su Bao's family. The newly promoted richest man in the Xia Kingdom has just turned [-] this year. He started from scratch and earned tens of billions of assets. Do you think it's amazing?"

Yan Detai frowned, and muttered, "Lu Yiming? This name sounds familiar..."

Then I remembered it, and immediately jumped up, staring at Su Bao with wide eyes: "Good guy, is he your grandson-in-law?"

Su Bao was a little confused, and explained: "Our Xiaoxue is indeed dating him, but the relationship hasn't been officially settled yet. Brother Yan, what's the matter with you? Could it be that you have a feud with this brat?"

Louis McAdam also felt very strange: "Haven't you been obsessed with art for many years? It is impossible to conflict with Lu Yiming, right?"

Faced with the doubts of the two, Yan Detai said angrily: "No, I didn't know him at all before, but recently, he wanted to buy an ancestral property of my family, so he entrusted an intermediary company to call me all day long and scold me. You can't go away with scolding. Tell me, where in the world are there such unreasonable people?"

Qiao's father and Su Bao looked at each other. They could actually understand Yan Detai's mood. For a wealthy family, the ancestral property is actually similar to the ancestral grave. In the past, whoever said to sell their ancestral property would be poked at the spine and scolded "" prodigal son".

Su Bao hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be angry, that brat is inflated after earning a few dollars. It's okay, I will scold him for you later."

Hearing what Su Bao said, Yan Detai snorted softly and said in a low voice, "This kid is too much."

Originally, he thought about complaining about this strange thing to a few people from his hometown, but he didn't expect that this strange thing was actually Su Bao's grandson-in-law, so naturally he couldn't say anything more.

At this moment, Yan Detai's cell phone rang again.

His blood pressure went up all of a sudden, he took out his mobile phone, and shouted: "Look, this guy is calling again! It's always like this, playing all day long, I'm getting bored to death!"

As if to make Su Bao teach Lu Yiming a good lesson, he pressed the answer button and said loudly, "Didn't I say it many times? Our family's ancestral property is not for sale!"

The person on the opposite side was suddenly startled by the voice, and said cautiously: "That... Mr. Yan, I am Xiao Liu from the Zhonghai Artists Association."

"Huh? Little Liu."

When Yan Detai realized that he had yelled at the wrong person, he immediately felt very embarrassed, and his tone softened immediately, and asked, "I'm sorry, I've been receiving harassing calls recently. Xiao Liu, what can you do with me?"

Xiao Liu said: "It's like this. Recently, the association is preparing for a watercolor art exhibition. I hope that Mr. Yan, an artist with both virtue and skill, can bring his works to the exhibition. The scale of this time is very large, and the publicity is even stronger. It’s not small, and there will be celebrities from all walks of life coming to comment.”

Yan Detai's heart was moved instantly, and he said without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring my work to participate!"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Yan, for supporting our work."

"Hehe, it's easy to say. By the way, I'm really sorry just now."

"It's okay, I don't like people who are on the phone all day long. Well, then I won't bother the old man. Goodbye, I wish you good health."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Su Bao saw that Yan Detai's face softened, and asked, "Brother Yan, this is a happy occasion for people to be in good spirits. If there is any good news, please share it with your brothers."

Yan Detai said happily: "It's nothing, the China Sea Artists Association held a watercolor art exhibition, and invited me to participate in the exhibition."

"So this is ah."

Su Bao complimented: "By relying on my brother's status in the flower garden, if you agree to participate in the exhibition, the level of their exhibition will be raised."

Louis McAdam also said: "Yes, it is an honor for their organizers that you participate in the exhibition."

Yan Detai looked at Louis McAdam, and said jokingly, "You foreigner with thick eyebrows and big eyes, when did you learn the compliments from our Xia Kingdom?"

He has no other pursuits in his life, but he likes painting. Now that he is older, he hopes to leave a famous name behind him.

At night, Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue were sitting in the study room reading a book, when suddenly the pockets of his trousers began to vibrate, making a buzzing sound.

After Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue made eye contact, they ran out to answer the phone

The call was from Su Yunjin.

As soon as the connection was made, Su Yunjin said with a straight face: "Lu Yiming, why are you so obsessed with the Yan family's ancestral property? Although the Yan family is in decline now, the tiger will never die, and it's not that there is no one to help you in the circle. Don't worry about it." Narrow the road."

Lu Yiming hurriedly said: "Auntie, you misunderstood. Why should I plot against the Yan family's ancestral property? I'm not such an unreasonable person."

Seeing that Lu Yiming was willing to be taught, Su Yun was very satisfied: "It's good that you are willing to give up voluntarily. After all, things like forced buying of ancestral property have a bad reputation."

"No, Auntie, don't get me wrong, I didn't say give up."

"what?!"

On the phone, Su Yunjin's voice was raised an octave.

"What's going on in your head? Don't just become the richest man and become inflated to the limit."

Lu Yiming explained: "Aunt Su, don't worry, I will definitely not buy or sell by force. As for the ancestral property or something, after the Yan's garden was confiscated, it has long been tormented by some residents. Now it is in dilapidated condition. , It doesn’t look good to put it there. So, I want to buy it and renovate it, it’s better than throwing it there like this?”

Before Su Yunjin could continue to speak, Lu Yiming promised: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely let Mr. Yan accept my conditions and get a result that satisfies everyone. I will never engage in forced buying and selling." set."

After Lu Yiming said that, Su Yunjin couldn't continue to object, so she had to tell him, "Don't mess around, he's a dozen years old."

"I know."
