My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 410 Descendants of Liu Bowen
"You see the boss is getting anxious, I must have been right!"

The young man was not angry at all. Instead, he showed off to the woman next to him with a smug look on his face. Even Li Han, who always thought he had a good temper, wanted to step forward and slap him a few times.

Stay calm and hold on. This is your own store and you can't destroy your own reputation.

Li Han took several deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. Thinking about the hardships that Lao Zhu had endured when he was young, his own little grievance was nothing.

The old man on the side acted as if nothing had happened, as if the person the boy mentioned was someone else. This made Li Han look at the old man with a higher opinion of him.

Ginger is still spicy with age. Look at this old man, his temperament and broad mind. The older generation of intellectuals have great determination.

No one knew who this old man was, which made Li Han more and more curious about his identity.

Although he is dressed simply, his temperament and conversation are extraordinary, and he has his own unique understanding of history and antiques.

Li Han speculated that the old man was either a scholar or a teacher, and he must have been immersed in the antique world for many years, otherwise his vision would not be so sharp.

What he couldn't understand was where did the old man get the money to buy the samples?
Could it be that the old man is actually a hidden boss? Li Han was amused by his own thoughts. He was overthinking. How could there be so many bosses these days?
Ignoring the couple, Li Han wrapped the small-leaf red sandalwood Maitreya Buddha and said to the old man:
"Old man, are you transferring money via online banking or by credit card?"

"I don't know how to use online banking, so I'll just swipe the card." The old man said as he searched his pockets, then his expression froze.

"Young man, I'm just out for a stroll, I don't have my card with me."

The old man then searched all his pockets, and took out a stack of banknotes from several pockets. He counted them and said a little embarrassedly:

"Young man, I only have over 2,000 yuan in cash. How about this be used as a deposit? You can keep the Maitreya Buddha sculpture for me while I go back to get my card."

"It's okay, old man. It's okay for you to take the Maitreya Buddha first. Just remember to come and pay the bill."

Li Han smiled and waved his hand.

The old man was stunned, then looked at Li Han in disbelief, as if trying to see if the young man in front of him was joking.

This is a rare small-leaf red sandalwood that is rarely seen in China. How could he let me take it back so confidently?
Although one hundred thousand is nothing to him, just a drop in the bucket, but for the young boss in front of him, it is definitely a considerable sum of money.

Moreover, this Maitreya Buddha statue carved from small-leaf red sandalwood is actually worth more than 100,000 yuan in terms of both appearance and craftsmanship. For those who love it, it would not be excessive to ask for twice the price, and there will still be a lot of people flocking to it.

People who buy red sandalwood are not short of money at all. What they lack is the ability to buy better and more red sandalwood.

But things are valuable because they are rare, so to some extent, it is actually a seller's market in the country for red sandalwood.

Therefore, he was really surprised that Li Han was so generous as to let him take it back first and pay later. Wasn't he afraid that he would run away?
"Look, look, I was right, wasn't I? I thought the old man was just an agent, but when it came time to pay, his true colors were revealed."

The young man continued to proudly show off his eyesight to his female companion, who also looked at him with admiration.

"Honey, you are so awesome! You are awesome!"

"Let's go, Lili, there's nothing good here."

After being praised by his female companion, the young man became even more proud, "Tonight, I will take you to see a truly awesome big scene." "What big scene?" The female companion looked at the young man with admiration and curiosity.

"Do you know Liu Huazhang?" the young man asked mysteriously.

When the young man said the name "Liu Huazhang", the old man's mouth twitched inadvertently and his expression became a little strange.

However, Li Han was packaging the Maitreya Buddha wood sculpture and did not notice the old man's expression.

"Who is Liu Huazhang?" the female companion asked curiously.

"This Liu Huazhang is quite a big shot. He is a tycoon in the antique industry and also plays an important role in the financial field. However, he has another more important identity!"

"What identity?" After hearing the young man's words, the female companion's eyes were full of admiration, as if she was praising her male companion for knowing so much.

"Hehe, I wouldn't tell ordinary people easily, but I can tell you, Liu Bowen knows, right?"

The female companion nodded, "I know Liu Bowen. I learned about him in middle school. He is a great figure in the Ming Dynasty!"

The young man looked mysterious, and then looked at the old man and Li Han proudly, "This Liu Huazhang is the 28th generation descendant of Liu Bowen!
He is usually elusive, and many industry leaders find it difficult to meet him. However, when they heard that today is his 70th birthday and he is going to hold a birthday dinner, many leaders are trying their best to attend.

Our company's boss finally got the qualification to participate, and he wants to take me with him tonight. You can follow me and go together to see what the real upper class is like."

"My dear, you are so good to me. I love you so much!" The female companion held the male companion's hand intimately and said:
"Let's go, let's go. I don't want to stay in this crappy place for even a moment. Go shopping with me and buy some nice clothes. We're going to such an important event tonight, and I can't embarrass you."

"Hahaha!" The young man proudly put his arm around his female companion's waist, then walked out with a swagger.

As soon as the two left, Li Han and the old man's ears suddenly became quiet. However, when it came to Liu Huazhang, he also knew who he was. He had heard Professor Hu Mingyuan mention him when he was in school.

However, when Professor Hu talked about him, he was not talking about his achievements in the antique industry, but about his extremely profound knowledge of history. He even had his own unique understanding of many historical events, filling many gaps in related historical research in China.

However, he was not lucky enough to see a tycoon of this level. After packing the Maitreya Buddha wood carving, Li Han took out a beautiful bag and put it in it, then handed it to the old man and said:
"Grandpa, you have it."

The old man took the bag with both hands, and said in surprise: "Young man, aren't you afraid that I will default on my debt?"

Li Han laughed loudly and waved his hands, saying, "Old man, I believe in my own judgment. If you really want to deny it, I will say that I was wrong!"

Then he pointed to the camera installed in a corner of the ceiling and said, "Besides, the surveillance camera is recording it. You can't deny it even if you want to!"

The old man looked in the direction of Li Han's finger and laughed, "Young man, you are so interesting. I have lived for most of my life and have never seen anyone as interesting as you."

Then he took out a plastic notebook with a yellowed cover from his pocket, with an old-fashioned fountain pen clipped in it.

He tore a page from his notebook, wrote a string of numbers on it, and handed it to Li Han.

"When you have time, call me and come to my house. I'll talk to you."
