The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen wasn't worried at all, as long as he was willing to pay, let alone the previous conflict, even if he slapped Yu Jinxian twice, she would probably be happy.

"Fuck, I suddenly feel that I shouldn't have come to see you." Han Chunming regretted it very much.

"You are wrong again. In fact, even if you don't come to me, I will go to them, but I will do it in person."

Han Chunming immediately looked at Zhou Chen with a vigilant look on his face: "Have you been eyeing the old man's things for a long time?"

"You are right, because I have already calculated that you will definitely give up the inheritance rights and return the things to them, so I have already made preparations."

Zhou Chen looked calm and composed. He had indeed made preparations long ago. His plan was to ask his old classmate Wu Jingui to buy it.

Wu Jingui was his personal treasure buyer. Many of his things were bought through Wu Jingui. Now Wu Jingui was also considered a well-known collector in Yanjing City. Some of the items that Zhou Chen did not value very much were given to him for collection.

The Broken Marquis laughed and said, "Look, Chunming, look at your brother-in-law. He is much smarter than you. Do you still want to scheme against him?"

"Zhou Chen, I think we should go out and buy all the good stuff, and then we can split it 50-50 and each take half. How do you think?"

Zhou Chen thought about it and said, "Okay, but I'll pay for it first, and I'll choose first, and the rest will be yours."

"That won't do. You'll pick out all the good stuff and leave me with only the rotten stuff. That won't do." Marquis Paola firmly disagreed.

Zhou Chen said it another way: "Then let's choose according to time. I'll choose the items from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties first, and you'll choose the items before the Tang Dynasty first. Then we'll each choose based on our vision, and we'll never regret it after we've made our choice. What do you think?"

"Hey, this is a way to play."

The Broken Marquis became interested and thought for a moment: "Okay, let's do as you say. That's it."

"Hey, hey, you guys are going too far. I'm still here, and you guys are already dividing among yourselves. Have you forgotten about me?"

The Broken Marquis waved his hand: "Go wherever you want. This is what I have agreed with your brother-in-law. It has nothing to do with you."

Han Chunming became anxious when he saw that Hou Polan and Zhou Chen did not seem to be joking.

"Mr. Broken, I called you here today, are you going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"

"Also, Zhou Chen, what is our relationship? You can't do this to me, or I'll go to my second sister and complain about you."

Zhou Chen said nonchalantly: "You can go if you like. Mr. Hou, why don't we go today to meet Guan's family later?"

"No problem, but I have to talk to my old son-in-law about this first. I may not have enough cash."

Although Hou Pulan is rich, his money is limited because most of his money is used to buy old things. So he is worried that he will not have enough money when the time comes, so he thinks of asking his old son-in-law to come along.

Zhou Chen immediately stopped him and said, "No, there's no need to inform your old son-in-law. Once he gets the things, he'll probably have to sell them. Don't worry about the money, I have plenty. Let's buy the things first and talk about the money later. If it doesn't work out, you can sell me some of your old items."

"Hey, I've discovered that you and Han Chunming are really the same. You both want my stuff."

Marquis Pauper smiled nonchalantly. With the way he treated good things, he really felt that Zhou Chen was worthy of being Han Chunming's brother-in-law.

Very greedy!

Chapter 676: Is there someone outside Zhou Chen?

Zhou Chen asked the driver to drive over and take him and Polan Hou to the hotel where Guan's father and mother were staying.

Guan's father and mother had a good attitude towards Marquis Bolan, but when they saw Zhou Chen, their expressions turned unhappy.

Especially for Guan's mother Yu Jinxian, the moment she saw Zhou Chen, the scene of being scolded by Zhou Chen that day appeared in her mind.

Being a person who was so concerned about her reputation and had no bottom line, she wanted to chase Zhou Chen away on the spot, but was stopped by Guan's father, who let Zhou Chen and Hou Polan enter the house.

After a moment, Guan's father asked in surprise, "So, you two are here for those old things my father left behind?"

Marquis Papa nodded and said, "That's right. We two are old acquaintances of Grandpa Guan, and we are both in the business of collecting antiques. Now that Grandpa Guan is gone, if you want to sell Grandpa's belongings, we can take them over."

Guan's father and his wife Yu Jinxian looked at each other and saw intention in each other's eyes.

The reason why they did not leave after the funeral was for the old man's inheritance, and the reason they wanted to get the inheritance was naturally for the value of the inheritance.

They were not very clear about how much the old man's inheritance was worth, but from what they knew, it was definitely not a small amount of money. At least it was much more than the three million that they sold the small courtyard to Han Chunming.

How could people as greedy as them not be tempted by such a huge inheritance?

Father Guan said, "To be honest, all of Grandpa's things are with my daughter. My daughter and I like Grandpa's things very much and want to keep them as a souvenir."

Hearing what Guan's father said, Hou Polan and Zhou Chen both found it funny. They knew exactly what kind of monsters you two were.

"If the old man knew about your filial piety, he would definitely be very pleased. But I think that rather than leaving it as a memorial, I think the old man would definitely prefer his descendants to live a better life. Using these collections to exchange for a stable life for future generations is definitely a very cost-effective deal."

Yu Jinxian agreed and said, "Old Guan, I think what Old Hou said makes sense. After all, things are dead, but people are alive. If we keep the things, we can only look at them. But if we sell them to people like Old Hou, they will definitely gain greater value."

Zhou Chen and Polan Hou looked at Yu Jinxian in astonishment. What a guy, just to sell the things, he actually came up with such a high-sounding excuse.

Guan's father said in embarrassment: "But these things are passed down from our Guan family's ancestors after all. I really can't bear to sell them like this."

Yu Jinxian followed up and said, "Old Guan, what you said makes sense. After all, it was passed down from our parents. It might be more valuable in the future. Why not just forget it?"

Zhou Chen and Polan Hou realized that the couple were in agreement and did not really want to keep it as a souvenir, but wanted to sell it for a high price.

Thinking of this, the Broken Marquis said, "I know what you mean, you two. You can rest assured about this. We are all acquaintances, and we will definitely not deliberately lower the price. As long as it is a good thing, it should be priced at the right price. As for the price, I think you don't have to worry about it."

He pointed at Zhou Chen and introduced him, "I don't know if your daughter and son-in-law have introduced Zhou Chen to you in detail. Zhou Chen is not only a famous collector in Yanjing City, but also a very successful businessman."

"In our area, there are only a few rich and big collectors besides him. If you don't believe me, you can ask your daughters and sons-in-law. No matter whether it's Han Chunming or my old son-in-law, a wealthy man from Hong Kong, they are not qualified to talk about money in front of him."

"Let alone other things, the two Chenxing Plazas under Zhou Chen are worth hundreds of millions, not to mention that he also has more than a dozen supermarkets and dozens of commodity markets."

Before coming, Zhou Chen had already discussed with Marquis Polan what to say. Zhou Chen was rich, but what he said alone was definitely not enough to convince others.

But according to Marquis Polan, it was a different story. The Guan couple saw with their own eyes that Marquis Polan smashed a priceless Ge kiln octagonal cup in front of the mourning hall.

In addition, Marquis Polan has a high seniority, so they trust his words more.

The Guan couple were both very surprised. They knew, of course, that Zhou Chen was Han Chunming's brother-in-law, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen was so capable and even far inferior to Han Chunming.

At this moment, the Guan couple were moved. Guan's father was okay, but Yu Jinxian's eyes began to light up.

The last time Han Chunming offered three million to buy the old man’s small courtyard, she was already overjoyed.

Three million! You have to know that even if the couple worked hard abroad for decades, the wealth they earned was not much more than three million.

How could she not be excited about the possibility of making even more money now?

Although Guan's father was also tempted, he calmed down a little and said, "Is this so, Mr. Hou, Mr. Zhou, you know, we have to discuss this matter with our daughter. When we have a result, we will definitely give you a reply. Do you think it's okay?"

The Ragnarok Marquis glanced at Zhou Chen and saw Zhou Chen nodded slightly, so he slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, that's fine, Zhou Chen, then shall we go first?"

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Chen and the other man stood up, exchanged a few polite words with the Guan couple, and then left.

Back in the car, Hou Lalan said, "They are interested. As long as they are interested, this matter will be easy to handle."

"Well, whether it's this couple or Guan Xiaoguan, they haven't inherited the old man's will. As long as we offer a high price, he will definitely sell it."

"I'm just worried that Han Chunming will cause trouble. You know about his relationship with Guan Xiaoguan and Taozi."

Hou Palan expressed his concerns.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That's not necessary. If we sell it to someone else, he might stop us. But if we sell it to us, he knows we won't sell the good stuff abroad. As long as the stuff stays in the country and in the hands of someone he knows well, he won't do anything unnecessary."

"I hope so."

Zhou Chen originally thought that it would take a few days for the Guan couple to contact them, but unexpectedly, Guan's father called them the next day and asked them to go see something.

Zhou Chen and Polan Hou naturally would not refuse, and went directly to Guan Xiaoguan's house and saw the things left by Grandpa Guan.

Zhou Chen knew that most of Grandpa Guan’s good things had been hidden away, and only a small part was left. But even so, the total number of things, big and small, was more than a hundred.

After seeing the things, Zhou Chen did not rush to get started, but looked at them first to find the type he wanted.

For him, everything is naturally based on completing the task. He will look for whatever type of task is currently needed.

In the end, Zhou Chen selected more than a dozen pieces, and Polan Hou also selected nine pieces. As for the rest, they were all ordinary antique calligraphy and paintings with average value. Neither Zhou Chen nor Polan Hou thought highly of them.

"There are 25 items here in total. For the sake of the old man, I'm offering a total of 13 million. If you agree, I'll transfer the money now. Of course, you can also think about it again, or check the value of these items and let others have a look before considering whether to sell them. But I'll only give you three days."

"If you haven't made a decision in three days, then I can only say sorry."

Although they have not yet undergone systematic identification, Zhou Chen can already tell the quality of these things with his vision.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed. There were good things in it, but they were a little different from what he had imagined.

It seems that Mr. Guan is also very smart and has hidden most of the good things.

After seeing these, Zhou Chen really had the urge to break down the wall and find out all the antiques that Grandpa Guan had hidden.

When Mr. and Mrs. Guan heard the figure of 13 million, their eyes widened. Although they knew that the old man's things were treasures and very valuable, they did not expect that only a part of them would be so valuable.

Yu Jinxian couldn't wait to agree on the spot, but Guan's father forced him to calm down and he didn't agree to the transaction immediately.

Over the next three days, Guan's parents looked for people to look at the items everywhere, and even contacted auction houses abroad.

Although the price offered by the auction house was slightly higher, the problem was that the auction house had to pay handling fees and wait for the auction date. It would take at least a year or two before the money was received, so they made a decision quickly.

Three days later, Zhou Chen and the Guan family successfully completed the transaction, with money exchanged and goods delivered.

Half a year has passed by in a flash.

Zhou Chen has collected twenty-nine of the fifty antiques required for the side quest. As long as he finds twenty-one more, he will be able to complete the side quest.

However, the main mission will take another fifty years, which means that he has to live until at least 2051.

"Zhou Chen, have you packed yet? We're going to be late."

Han Chunyan's voice came from upstairs. Zhou Chen looked helpless: "I have packed it up and have been waiting for you. Can you stop taking so long? It's been almost an hour."

"It'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon."

After hearing this answer for the nth time, Zhou Chen said he didn't want to talk anymore.

Han Chunming hosted a grand banquet today and invited relatives and friends to his hotel for dinner. Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan were naturally among them.

Ten minutes later, Han Chunyan slowly came down from upstairs.

Time is like a ruthless carving knife that changes everything.

Han Chunyan is no longer the youthful and beautiful girl she was more than 20 years ago. Although she has been using the best cosmetics to maintain her appearance over the years, there are many things that no matter how good the cosmetics are, they cannot cover up.

Fortunately, Han Chunyan has been maintaining her health with Zhou Chen, so although wrinkles have appeared on her face, her figure is still good.

"Let's go."

Han Chunyan took Zhou Chen's arm.

Arriving at Han Chunming Hotel, Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan walked in arm in arm.

Manager Li, who had returned to the building, was greeting guests at the lobby entrance with his people. When he saw Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan coming in, he immediately greeted them warmly.

"Mr. Zhou, Madam, you are here. Please come in. Mr. Han is at the first table."

Han Chunyan handed over the prepared red envelope and said, "Manager Li, what's wrong with my brother today? Why is he making such a big scene?"

"You'll have to ask Mr. Han about this. We're not sure either." Manager Li replied politely.

Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan walked into the hall and found that many people had already arrived. When Zhou Chen passed by, he greeted the people he knew, and finally came to the main table.

This is a large round table that can seat more than a dozen people. Quite a few people are already sitting at this time, mainly members of the Han and Su families, plus a poor man named Hou.

After everyone arrived, Han Chunming stood up.

"I invited everyone to this banquet today. I didn't tell you why, but it's because..."

Before he could finish, Yang Huajian suddenly shouted, "Chunming, even if you don't say it, we know that the love flower of a virgin like you is about to blossom."

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.

Next, Han Chunming and Su Meng came on stage to perform a singing and playing for everyone. Then Han Chunming told everyone the purpose of calling everyone here today, which was to invite everyone to his Yaxuan Museum to broaden their horizons after dinner.

"Should we start?"

Zhou Chen was not surprised when he heard Han Chunming mention the museum, because there were many of Han Chunming's items in the museum, which were all borrowed by Han Chunming after he found him and persuaded him.

In fact, he also advised Han Chunming not to call Guan Xiaoguan when he went to the museum, because some things in Han Chunming's collection were indeed obtained from Grandpa Guan.

Although he paid a price for what he got from Grandpa Guan, Guan Xiaoguan didn't know. What would she think if she saw it?

But Han Chunming felt that he had a clear conscience, so he called Guan Xiaoguan and Li Chengtao over.

A few hours later, Zhou Chen arrived at the suburban villa.

When Grandpa Guan saw Zhou Chen coming, he was very surprised: "How come you have time to come here today, and at this time?"

Zhou Chen usually comes in the afternoon, but now it is already evening.
