Chapter 495 Buying Paintings
The antiques that Bai Ning sees now should be used as a prestige. Even if thieves get in here, if they are stolen, it's not worth throwing them away, so it's considered charity.
As a master collector and the director of the museum, how could Zhang Mingxiang have such a little background?
Said he donated all the good things he collected?
Bai Ning didn't believe it. A real collector couldn't put it down when he saw a good thing. How could he have the heart to hand it over from his own hands?
While admiring the Wenwan in front of him, Bai Ning waited for Zhang Mingxiang.
After a while, Zhang Mingxiang came out and said to Bai Ning, "Little friend Bai Ning, take a look at this painting, how is it restored?"
"Okay!" Bai Ning found the scroll in Zhang Mingxiang's hand, opened the painting, and looked at it carefully. The painting was dilapidated when it was just peeled off, but now it looks brand new. Zhang Mingxiang reinstalled the scroll. It was also repaired, and after the repairs it looked like a famous painting.
Bai Ning looked at it carefully for a while and said to Zhang Mingxiang: "Mr. Zhang's repairing skills are really amazing! I really admire him!"
"Hahaha, you are lucky! Let this picture reappear." Zhang Mingxiang said to Bai Ning very usefully after hearing this.
"Little friend Bai Ning, are you going to collect this painting yourself, or sell it at auction, or find a suitable buyer?" Zhang Mingxiang changed the subject and turned to how Bai Ning planned to deal with this painting.
"Hmm..." Bai Ning pondered, and didn't give Zhang Mingxiang an answer immediately. He really didn't think it through in his heart, but planned to collect it first, and then make plans. If he meets a suitable buyer, he will do it later. Intend.
After all, such rare and famous paintings are extremely rare.
Zhang Mingxiang saw that Bai Ning didn't answer him immediately, which meant that Bai Ning's heart was shaken, at least he hadn't made up his mind yet, so he continued: "There are very few young people who are willing to collect these famous antique paintings. Well, if you don't want to keep the painting in your own hands and are willing to sell it, then sell it to me, the old man. I will definitely give you a price that you are satisfied with, at least higher than the price offered by some auction houses outside. How about a lot?"
Bai Ning listened to Zhang Mingxiang's words, he understood what Zhang Mingxiang meant, he had a heart for treasure, and wanted to buy this painting for his own collection.
But Bai Ning really doesn't want to sell now, he still wants to keep this painting, this rare treasure.
He thought for a while, and said to Zhang Mingxiang with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Zhang, it's like this. I don't have any plans to sell this painting for the time being. I'm preparing it for my own collection, or as a gift for my family. Old man, so all I can say is sorry."
When Zhang Mingxiang heard that Bai Ning had no intention of making a move, he immediately smiled, and then said: "It's okay, little friend Bai Ning, then you can keep this painting. When you want to make a move, come to my old man, I'm sure I'll give you a price that satisfies you, and I won't treat you badly, don't worry!"
When Bai Ning heard Zhang Mingxiang's words, he thought to himself: You are indeed a collector, so free and easy, much better than some people who buy and sell by force.
He thanked Zhang Mingxiang: "Then thank you very much, Mr. Zhang. If I need this, I will definitely come to you."
Afterwards, Bai Ning exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Mingxiang and bid farewell.
After Zhang Mingxiang sent Bai Ning out, Bai Ning got into the car and drove to Kavana Group.
It's already past eight o'clock in the evening.The lights in the Kavana Group are basically turned off, and only a few offices that are still processing are turned on.
Bai Ning went straight to Ye Chuxia's office.
The lights in Ye Chuxia's office are still on, and the door of the office is also open, Ye Chuxia is still inside.
He walked into the office lightly, trying not to disturb Ye Chuxia by making any noise. Ye Chuxia was also watching something intently, and didn't feel that anyone had entered the office.
At this time, Bai Ning had already stood face to face with Ye Chuxia, and he let out "cough cough!" twice.
Ye Chuxia, who was concentrating on looking at the document, was suddenly awakened by Bai Ning's voice, and when she looked up, she saw Bai Ning standing in front of her again. She was startled and let out a cry of "Ah!" come out.
Bai Ning didn't expect Ye Chuxia's reaction to be so big, so he quickly gestured "Hush!" to Ye Chuxia, and said to Ye Chuxia, "It's me! Why are you reacting so big!"
Ye Chuxia glanced at Bai Ning angrily, rushed in front of Bai Ning, raised a small powder fist at Bai Ning, and threw it on Bai Ning's body for free, and shouted at Bai Ningjiao as he punched: "You Why are you pretending to be a ghost! There is no sound when you walk!"
"It floated in!"
"Ahhhh, really, I was scared to death!" Ye Chuxia thumped Bai Ning and shouted coquettishly.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wronged!" Bai Ning said innocently.
"Stop hitting, stop hitting!"
...
After Bai Ning repeatedly begged for mercy, Ye Chuxia let go of Bai Ning after snorting, and sat back on her boss chair, crossed her arms, looked at Bai Ning proudly and asked, "You're back?"
"Acceptance passed?"
"Did you get the painting back?"
Bai Ning heard Ye Chuxia's tone a little funny, as if he was asking where her husband was and what he was doing.
"It's passed. There are still some things that need to be changed. After the changes are completed, it can enter the testing stage."
"The painting was also brought back. Zhang Mingxiang wanted to buy my painting, but he didn't sell it to him." Bai Ning honestly explained to Ye Chuxia.
"Well, it's fine, as long as everything goes well!" Ye Chuxia nodded, and didn't ask about Bai Ning's paintings in depth. This is Bai Ning's own business. How Bai Ning decides is his own business. No right to interfere.
"What about you? How is the contract going?" Bai Ning asked about Ye Chuxia's situation. Seeing Ye Chuxia's tired look, he felt a little distressed.
"The contracts for packaging and raw materials are almost ready. Wait for them to come and take a look at Kavana outside. After all, this is the first time we have cooperated, so we must have a look at the situation of our partners!" Ye Chuxia said.
Bai Ning nodded, this is normal, it is normal for people to come to investigate first, and then decide whether to cooperate or not, after all, this is a contract of tens of millions, whether it is yourself or the other party, you must be cautious of.
