Getting the best from Tarkov

Seeing everyone's strong gratitude, Liao Fan could only keep explaining that it was all coincidence, etc. He even tried every possible excuse to downplay his own achievements that night.

Elder Tang also noticed that Liao Fan was a little uneasy at this time, so he took the initiative to interrupt what others wanted to say and brought the topic back to the dinner. "Well, since Aaron calls you a brother, then you are not an outsider. Don't get too excited.

I heard from Ah Xu that we have newly arrived premium foie gras and newly caught bluefin tuna tonight. Ah Fan, you must try the cooking skills of my chef.

Seeing this, Liao Fan hurriedly expressed his gratitude and finally managed to avoid the crowd's enthusiasm.

The sumptuous dinner soon ended in laughter and joy.

After finishing his meal, Mr. Tang got up and left early. The beautiful woman next to Tang Yunong took the initiative to pull her out. Several other ladies and their children were also accompanying them.

Liao Fan, under the guidance of Tang Shilong, came to Mr. Tang's study.

As soon as he walked into the study, Liao Fan was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw the old man who was trembling when walking just now, now sitting calmly on a throne, holding a covered bowl in one hand and a cigar in the other. There was no trace of old age in his expression, he looked like a godfather of the underworld who combined Chinese and Western styles.

However, when he saw Tang Shilong and Liao Fan coming in, Tang Zhenguo acted like a naughty boy, stuck his head out to look outside the door, and then hurriedly asked Tang Shilong to close the door.

He looked like an old kid who was secretly doing something bad.

It was this action that instantly eliminated the pressure that Liao Fan had felt when he first came in.

Seeing Liao Fan sitting down, Tang Zhenguo first took a cigar from the cigar box beside him and threw it to him, then took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, now it's just us guys, you don't have to be so tense like you were at the dinner table just now, relax, there are not so many rules in this room."

Just when Liao Fan was hesitating, he saw Tang Shilong actually ran to the corner of the study and took out a bottle of brandy and a small wine glass.

Seeing this, Liao Fan immediately unbuttoned his dress at the waist, took it off and hung it on the hanger beside him.

After finishing, he walked to the desk, reached out to pick up the cigar, and without using cigar pliers, he directly bit off the cigar cap with his teeth, picked up the match on the table and lit it.

Seeing Liao Fan acting like this, Tang Zhenguo laughed instead of getting angry. He even pointed at Liao Fan and scolded him, "You two-faced guy, I guess you are not a person who follows the rules. Haha."

Hearing Tang Zhenguo say this, Liao Fan also smiled and said, "Tang Lao, look at what you said, do I still need to be at home?"

"Ah, hahahaha, right, right, don't be so polite at home." After saying that, the old man turned his head and said unhappily to Tang Shilong on the other side: "Along, look at Afan, and then look at you. You don't pay attention to etiquette when you should, and you pretend to be polite when you shouldn't. It's not just you, your father is the same!"

Tang Shilong heard this, looked up at the old man, curled his lips, and muttered softly, "Tsk, you really have double standards. Didn't you poke my dad in the waist with your crutch and say he didn't sit properly? Now you say we don't need to pay too much attention at home."

The old man was indeed too old, and Tang Shilong's mumbling was so soft that he didn't hear it at all. He continued to face Liao Fan and said, "Ah Fan, when Ah Long came back that day, he told us about what happened in the bar. Our whole family is very grateful to you.

I think you've guessed the reason at the dinner table, so I won't elaborate. I heard from Aaron that you're also in finance. Although I started my career in antiques, there are still many bigwigs in our circle. If there's anything you need that could be of use to the Tang family, just tell us directly."

In fact, Liao Fan had already realized what was wrong with his previous feeling in the second half of the dinner.

Although this family seems to have old man Tang Zhenguo at the top and rising star Tang Shilong at the bottom, there are also Tang Shilong's father and four brothers in the middle.

Although this family was prosperous during Tang Shilong's father's generation, for some reason, all the children in Tang Shilong's generation were girls except him.

Even Tang Shilong's father had a daughter as his second child. As for his uncles, their families were all women.

In other words, as of Tang Shilong's generation, he is the only male.

But the Tang family's wealth is indeed very rich.

Let’s not talk about Mr. Tang, let’s just talk about Tang Shilong’s father’s generation.

Before the meal, Tang Shilong introduced Liao Fan to him.

His father, Tang Bosheng, worked in a shipyard when he was young. Later, with the help of his father, he set up a shipyard. He took advantage of the trend in 97 to acquire several British-owned shipyards. Although it is not the largest shipyard in Hong Kong now, it is among the top 5.

His uncle Tang Baihua inherited Mr. Tang's skills and is currently the vice president of the Hong Kong Antiques Association. He has an impeccable network of contacts.

His third uncle, Tang Boxiang, is a famous barrister in Hong Kong who specializes in property disputes and marriage law. He is a guest of honor for all capital tycoons.

Only his fourth uncle Tang Borui is not doing so well. He works in real estate, but that is also because of market issues. You know, in the past, his fourth uncle was the only one who was successful in the family. However, I heard that his fourth uncle was planning to transform the company, but I don’t know the details.

Add to that Old Man Tang, and you can imagine how much pressure Tang Shilong is under.

After thinking this through, Liao Fan didn't really plan to ask the other party for any help. Favors become thinner the more you use them. He had finally gotten to know such a powerful person by chance, so he couldn't bother him just for such a trivial matter.

Seeing Liao Fan's expression, Tang Zhenguo pointed at him again and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. Forget it, since you have your own plans, I won't get involved. If there is anything you don't feel comfortable talking to an old man like me, then you can talk to A Long alone when you have time."

After saying that, Tang Zhenguo sat up, walked to a small door nearby and said to Liao Fan, "Since you're here, let me show you my treasure. What? Are you interested?"

Hearing the old man say this, Liao Fan's curiosity was also aroused. Before dinner, he had heard Tang Shilong mention this old man.

At that time, I heard Tang Shilong say that the old man made his fortune by collecting antiques. I thought that the items that he treated as treasures and kept must be of the highest quality.

So Liao Fan also stood up and followed Mr. Tang into the small door.

When he first entered, Liao Fan didn't feel anything, but when the old man turned on the spotlight switch on the side, Liao Fan was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

It turns out that this is not a small house, but a huge treasure room.

The two of them were standing on the first floor of the treasure room, and in front of them was a two-story high treasure rack. The rack itself was protected by a glass cover, and there were probably hundreds of grids from top to bottom.

And there are six of the same shelves in this room.

"How's it going, young man? My treasure is pretty good, isn't it? Look, this is a Qianlong enamel hollow revolving vase, not bad, isn't it?

Look at this! A Xuande furnace! Let me tell you, Mr. Liu from the Hong Kong Cultural Museum has been trying to get this treasure from me for quite some time since he learned I had it.

And this! Come on, come on, take a look at this. This set of chimes is so complete and in such good condition. Have you ever seen one before? Hahaha."

Looking at Mr. Tang who was walking in front, leading the way and showing off, Liao Fan smiled.

At this moment, Mr. Tang no longer had the dignity he had at the dinner table before. Instead, he looked more like an old naughty boy, proud of his collection.

Liao Fan was also amazed when he heard Mr. Tang's introduction. Although he was not from this circle, he had sold a few items himself. But compared with Mr. Tang's collection, his collection was nothing compared to it.

As he was walking around, Liao Fan suddenly remembered what the old man had said before and asked in confusion, "Mr. Tang, are you familiar with all the museums in Hong Kong, big and small?"

Hearing Liao Fan's question, Tang Zhenguo smiled slightly while facing away from Liao Fan. When he turned around, he immediately returned to normal. Then he asked with some confusion: "Why? Why are you asking this?"

Liao Fan thought about it and decided that since he had already said it, he might as well say it openly. So he told Tang Zhenguo that he had asked Yang Xue to come to Hong Kong to inquire about whether there were any small private museums that were for transfer.
