Holly followed Yu Qian into the house, opened the curtains, and felt a warm current.

"Uncle Qian still burns the stove in winter." Holly said.

Ma Weidu answered: "Winter in Sijiu City is difficult to survive without heaters and stoves.

The stove is convenient, just put the pot up, stew a pot of mutton, and drink two cups, your body will be really warm. "

Holly smiled and said, "Master Ma knows how to live."

Sun Yue pulled out a chair for Holly and said, "Mr. Huo."

Holly smiled and nodded, sitting down to warm himself by the fire.

Ma Weidu said: "Charcoal burning is not allowed in urban areas, so Yu Qian and I basically spent the winter on the farm here.

Knowing that you are in the capital, I specifically asked Wu Jing to call you yesterday. In order to receive you, this distinguished guest, Yu Qian got up early to catch the sheep.

We don't get this treatment. "

Yu Qian turned around and said, "Brother, you are a bit offended by what you said.

When did I not make arrangements for your visit? "

Ma Weidu smiled and said, "Look, I'm in a hurry again.

If you tell him about other things, he won't be impatient with you. But when it comes to him not receiving good friends, he will definitely be impatient with you. "

Holly laughed and said, "Uncle Qian and Master Ma are both gentle people."

Ma Weidu said: "In today's such a utilitarian society, it is difficult for everyone to sit here and have a drink and talk and laugh without being so utilitarian."

Holly nodded.

Don’t both Yu Qian and Ma Wei have utilitarian aspirations?

It should be said that there may not be any now.

They're past that age.

After gaining fame and fortune, I began to enjoy life and play with whomever I could talk to.

Don’t talk about utilitarianism.

If you look at a mountain as a mountain, if you look at a mountain as it is not a mountain, if you look at a mountain as it is still a mountain, then you are either seeing it through, or you are looking down upon it.

"Shanghai Treasury didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Ma Weidu asked with concern.

Holly shook his head: "They still dare to embarrass me even though I have Master Ma's royal gold medal. Isn't that a slap in your Master Ma's face?

They don't have the guts. "

Ma Weidu nodded, "When you asked me to buy that vault, I specifically told you that you would often send people to withdraw deposits and ask them not to be too rigid, but they would not put it in easily without procedures and keys.

After all, the things inside are priceless, and I can't afford anything to go wrong. "

"Master Ma is thoughtful." Holly said.

Sun Yue said: "Mr. Huo bought a vault?"

Holly nodded: "Ten or so square meters, Master Ma gave a friendly price of 1000 million."

Ma Weidu said: "If it weren't for you, I would definitely not sell it. The rent of a safe is 50 yuan a year. I can earn more, right?"

Thinking that everyone is a drinking buddy, I'll sell you this favor. "

"That's true. It will be served later. I have to toast you." Holly smiled and said, "By the way, Mr. Ma, do you have any research on calligraphy and painting?"

Ma Weidu: "Do you want to collect calligraphy and paintings?"

Holly nodded: "Sotheby's auction in Beijing has several works by Zhang Daqian, and I'm interested."

"My specialty is porcelain, but I am also good at calligraphy and painting. In this way, I will take you to visit the preview center of Bo Yue Sotheby's tomorrow. It just so happens that Li Jia, the international senior director of Sotheby's, is also in the capital.

We went over to sit and watch and chat at the same time. Sitting here and speaking out of thin air would make it difficult to resonate. ", Ma Weidu said.

His status in the Chinese collecting community is undoubted, and he is also a guest of major auction houses. He often visits Sotheby's, Poly, Christie's... and shares the stories behind the auction items with the executives of the auction companies.

"Then there's Lord Lao Ma." Holly said with a hand.

"What's the good news?" Wu Jing came after hearing the sound and brought a friend over. Holly knew him, He Jun, the young master of the He family.

Ma Weidu smiled and said: "Holly is interested in Zhang Daqian's paintings. I told him to take him to Sotheby's preview center tomorrow."

"Master Ma is a professional in this area." Wu Jing called him, "Mr. Huo."

Then he introduced: "I brought a friend here, He Jun.

Recently we filmed a variety show together, Brother Qian, Sister Qian and we also appeared on the show together. "

Ma Weidu said: "I have watched your show."

Wu Jing introduced: "The famous Chinese collector Ma Ye from Jingcheng.

The famous cross talk actor Sun Yue.

This is Mr. Huo of Qihang Media Group. "

"Master Ma, Teacher Sun, Mr. Huo." He Jun called each of them politely and sat down with Wu Jing.

Holly smiled and nodded, and said to Wu Jing, "I have a good relationship with his eldest sister."

He Jun said in surprise: "Oh! Mr. Huo knows my eldest sister."

Holly said: “Haikuo Investment, Wanda Cultural Tourism and Xinde Group have cooperated to develop an international resort project in Hainan.

This project is led by me and the Wanning Municipal Party Committee and Government.

Your eldest sister He Qiong took the team there and we did the field trip together. "

He Jun quickly stood up and extended his hand to Holly again, "Mr. Huo, nice to meet you."

In the current He family, whether in the company or at home, He Qiong's status must be the highest, that's for sure.

These younger brothers and sisters all followed her lead.

Holly smiled and shook his hand.

"We're all here. The haggis has been processed. Let's stew it immediately. Wu Jing and Sun Yue will come over and grill the skewers later. This is your two strengths. I'll stew the mutton." Yu Qian arranged.

"Okay, Brother Qian, leave this matter to me." Wu Jing said.

He Jundao: "What can I do?"

"Forget it, it's not helpful." Yu Qian said with a smile and disgust, "Young master who has no fingers in the spring water, let's chat with Mr. Ma."

Ma Weidu said: "Don't be polite when you come. Help me if you have something to do. If you have nothing to do, just sit back and brag. I've always been like this."

He Jun smiled and nodded.

Holly said: "I bought a piece of land in Jiangcheng and plan to build a manor. When I build the manor, Mr. Ma, you guys will come over as guests."

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "I'll go if you want to pick me up and drop me off. I'm old enough and I don't like too much fuss."

Holly smiled and said: "From the time you left home to my manor, if I asked you to walk a few more steps, I didn't do it well." Wu Jing said with a smile: "Mr. Huo has a private jet, Mr. Ma, what do you want?" Going to Jiangcheng as a guest is just a matter of words."

"Hey, that will be much more convenient." Ma Weidu said with a smile, "Mr. Huo kindly invites us. Let's go over and sit down together."

Yu Qian said: "I have no problem, I can do it anytime."

Holly smiled and said: "Then it's settled."

I didn't eat until seven o'clock.

When the table was served, Yu Qian raised his glass and said: "Come on, everyone, it's been a long time since we got together. You young people are already enjoying retirement life as much as me and my brother. You still have to work hard.

Go ahead and welcome Mr. Huo and Xiao He. "

We raised our glasses together and clinked them together.

After drinking, Ma Weidu said, "Eat meat and drink wine, and friendship will last forever."

Everyone laughed.

He does have this mentality now.

He would treat Ma Weidu as his friend warmly, regardless of their status.

Of course, those who can truly come into contact with him cannot be too poor.

He had a good impression of Holly and spoke highly of him.

I often think about drinking together.

"I must be the worst drinker here, right?" Holly said modestly.

Wu Jing waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Huo, I'm worse than you."

He Jundao: "If it's a white drink, I should be the worst."

Yu Qian analyzed: "When I was young, I must have the best drinking capacity. Most people are no match for him. Now that I am older, we don't force him to drink. He will be eliminated first.

Sun Yue and I are evenly matched.

Wu Jing's drinking capacity is okay, slightly better than Mr. Huo's, but Mr. Huo dares to drink. If he really wants to fight, Wu Jing may not be able to drink.

Xiao He is definitely the worst, there is no dispute. "

He Jun smiled and said, "Then let me, the worst drinker, say a word about wine first. I have a luminous cup of grape wine. If I have wine today, I will be drunk today."

Here’s to you. "

Ma Weidu picked up the wine glass and said, "Hey, it's been a long time since I mentioned this about wine. How about one of you?"

Yu Qian: "It is better to have a glass of wine while you are alive than to have a pile of gold behind you."

Ma Weidu gave a thumbs up: "Now that I've fully realized it, it's up to you to see clearly.

No wonder people say you like smoking, drinking and perming your hair. Are you afraid that you won’t have this enjoyment if you go there? "

Everyone laughed.

Wu Jing said: "Noble people eat expensive wine, and noble people eat mandarin fish."

Ma Weidu smiled and said: "Wu Jing is a typical flatterer."

Everyone laughed.

"Holly, please say something." Ma Weidu said.

Holly said: "Haha when you drink, how can life be so long."

Ma Weidu: "Holly also belongs to Yu Qian's kind of enlightenment."

Wu Jing said: "I am the only one who still worries about the world?"

Ma Weidu said: "The last thing I want to say to you is that Du Kang is the only one who can relieve your worries."

He raised his glass and said, "Let's go one."

The farm on the outskirts of the capital city is surrounded by people at night, and there is laughter and laughter in the bungalows.

The drinking didn’t end until 11:30.

Yu Qian and Ma Wei both came out to see Holly and the others off.

Ma Weidu said: "Holly, you have a good rest, we will go there in the afternoon tomorrow.

I sent a message to the director of Sotheby's this morning. "

Holly made an OK gesture, got in the car and went home.

In the back seat of the car, Holly was lying in Zhong Yiwen's arms with a smile on his face.

Zhong Yiwen smiled and said: "Sir, are you drinking flower wine? Are you smiling so happily?"

Holly waved his hand, "I'm happier than drinking flower wine."

Zhong Yiwen already felt that he was a little drunk.

She reached out and held his face with a smile.

While taking care of Holly, Zhong Yiwen felt a sense of accomplishment and happiness in her heart.

……

At noon, Holly got up, had breakfast and lunch together, received a message from Ma Weidu and went out to the Park Hyatt Hotel.

By the time Holly arrived, he was already there.

He was accompanied by senior directors of Sotheby's.

Ma Weidu introduced: "Li Jia, senior director of Sotheby's International, senior expert in the Chinese Art Department, and an old friend of mine.

This is my little friend Holly, who is interested in the calligraphy and paintings you are auctioning in Beijing this time.

I brought him here as a guest today.

I hope it will be convenient for Mr. Li. "

"Master Ma has already spoken. I must take care of your face. Master Ma, Mr. Huo, please." Li Jia invited.

The preview of calligraphy and painting is different from that of porcelain and antiques. Taking into account the impact of factors such as temperature, humidity, etc. on the storage of calligraphy and painting, the calligraphy and painting in the preview area are rubbings and prints, and will be sold as genuine products only after the auction is completed.

Ordinary customers and spectators could only appreciate it in the preview area, but Ma Weidu had a different status. He directly told Sotheby's executives and took Holly to see the original work.

Holly was attracted by the splashing colors of traditional Chinese painting master Zhang Daqian at first glance.

Li Jia introduced: "Mr. Huo, this is the splash-colored "Summer Mountain Flying Green" created by Zhang Daqian in 1937. It was sold by Mr. Steve, a famous American insuranceman, and entrusted to us for auction.

It is also part of Sotheby’s Beijing winter auction. "
