Atticus ‘professionalism was unquestionable. With another example, everyone would know how professional he was. As the first wave of angel investment, the naughty kid invested in Atticus’s company.
I believe many people are suspicious. How could a devilish brat have so much money? Don’t doubt Jiang Changxi’s investment in the devilish brat. Jiang Changxi was giving him real money. In addition, the angel investment for Atticus this time was also done by Queen Jiang. After all, the devilish brat was still underage.
There was a huge difference between people who knew how to make money and people who didn ‘t. Those who knew how to make money had already shown signs of it since they were young.
The hotel and accommodation were arranged just right, even Mo Li, who had a bad temper, was very satisfied.
“Atticus, we would like to visit Yuan. When is a suitable time? please arrange it.” Lucca waited until everyone had settled down before he immediately said.
Although there was a time difference, Lucca felt that they were all young and full of energy, so they could totally get down to business first.
“We can go there now and finish our work earlier. I can take a walk around China. Chengdu is recognized by un, cultural education and animal husbandry as the capital of gourmet food.” Mo Li replied.
“Actually, I forgot to ask you about this yesterday. Have you told boss Yuan about your visit in advance?” Atticus asked.
Mo Li and the others shook their heads. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but it wasn’t because of the circle of chefs that it was really difficult to contact Yuan Zhou.
Atticus finally understood. He divided the foreigners who came to look for boss Yuan into two groups, those with reservations and those without.
“Everyone, the business hours of master chef Restaurant are very regular. Are you here to taste the delicacies or to visit boss Yuan?” Atticus asked.
“To visit boss Yuan and taste the delicacies.”
Alma and Mo Li replied in unison, truly having a tacit understanding.
Ahem, we mainly want to visit Yuan to discuss some matters.” Lucca finally pulled the topic back and rolled his eyes at the two unreliable fellows, Alma and Mo Li.
In this group of four people, Alma and Mo Li belonged to the auction house while Lucca and Angelo belonged to the collectors. Their interests didn’t conflict with each other. Even if Yuan Zhou only agreed to one sculpture, they could compete with each other at that time. Therefore, they were quite harmonious with each other.
“It’s oneo’ clock in the afternoon now and the lunch time hasn’t ended yet. But if we go there now, we definitely won’t be able to eat there. However, we can have a good talk with boss Yuan. Later, we can get a number and eat dinner. What do you think of my arrangement, gentlemen?” Atticus raised his hand and looked at his watch, estimating the journey.
“Let’s do this. We’ll pack up and head over. ” Lucca looked at the other three and answered directly.
The so-called packing of Lucca and the other three was to go back to their rooms to change their clothes again, and then take a box in their hands.
When Atticus saw it, he felt that it was a gift for boss Yuan. He had already gotten used to such a thing.
However, as far as Atticus knew, boss Yuan didn’t accept gifts. Although he knew that, he didn’t say anything about it. Some things were only interesting after experiencing them. That was what Atticus thought.
Lucca and the other three all changed into a well-ironed suit at the same time, wearing a coat of various colors on the outside, giving off a more solemn look.
Mo Li and Alma looked at each other. Although they still looked down on each other, it was rare that they did not ridicule each other.
Seeing that everyone had packed up, Alex said,””We’re leaving now. We’ll be there by the time lunch is over. It should be just in time. Let’s go.”
Atticus then led the group of people on foot towards Taoxi road.
It wasn’t that Atticus wasn’t professional and didn’t prepare any means of travel, but that the hotel he led his people to stay in was near Taoxi road. Since the personal cooking exhibition, more and more people from abroad came to Chengdu to visit or have a meal at the master chef Restaurant. Atticus had found a shortcut.
It was a small road. Cars were not allowed, but it was very close in a straight line. It would only take ten minutes to reach the store.
Just as Atticus had estimated, when they arrived at Taoxi road, Yuan Zhou had just finished sending off the last batch of customers.
“Hello, boss Yuan. These customers are all here for you.” When Atticus saw Yuan Zhou standing at the door, he realized that he was free. Therefore, he immediately took a few steps forward and said.
“Is there something wrong?”
Yuan Zhou paused for a while and took a look at the four Caucasians in front of him. None of them looked familiar and they didn’t look like chefs. Yuan Zhou was definitely not here for an exchange.
“Hello, Yuan. I’m Lucca.” Lucca stepped forward and said very politely.
“Hello, I’m yuan Zhou.” Yuan Zhou said quite calmly when he heard Lucca’s awkward Chinese.
“Yuan, your previous sculptures were too outstanding. A sculptor like you should not be buried. We can continue to work together. In the future, your sculptures can be handed over to our Christie’s auction house. By then, fame and fortune will be the lightest. You have to believe in your talent in carving.” Mo Li also joined in.
He didn’t know how to speak Chinese, so he started to ramble on.
It was Italian.
Yuan Zhou could now understand English and a little French, but he couldn’t understand Italian.
Although Yuan Zhou didn’t understand a single word, he still stood there calmly and looked at Atticus at the same time.
Seeing Yuan Zhou standing there without giving any response, Mo Li looked at Atticus anxiously and thought that it was really annoying to not understand the language. If he had known earlier, he would have learned some Chinese.
“Yuan, I think you can try working with our great Vader auction house. We are also an auction house with a long history and have undertaken many art auctions. Your sculpture has reached an extremely high artistic value, so it is the best choice to work with our auction house.” Without waiting for Atticus to translate, Alma also started to promote himself.
This was not a gentlemanly situation. He had to state his conditions first.
Alma also looked at Atticus, he had the same feeling as Mo Li, the language barrier would delay their ability to earn money.
Atticus finally fully understood the purpose of the four people. He didn’t expect that they were here to buy the carving. But it made sense, the auction was worth hundreds of millions!
“I remember that boss Yuan had the habit of throwing away his failed sculptures casually. Many children even picked them up to play with … I think it’s necessary for me to snatch the toys from the children.” Atticus thought to himself.
“Here’s the thing, boss Yuan. These two are collectors Italy and the other two are from the great Vader and Christie’s auction houses. They all want your sculptures and hope that you can sell some of them. ” Atticus said as a matter of fact.
Immediately after, Lucca also asked Atticus to translate. As a collector, he liked Yuan Zhou’s works very much and hoped to buy them directly.
This was also Lucca’s and Angelo’s goal. There was no third party to profit from the price difference, and they would buy directly from the source.
“No need. Tell them that I’m not selling my sculptures at the moment.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and refused.
Except for India shaking one’s head meant rejection. This was common all over the world. Even without Atticus’s translation, they knew it.
Angelo, who had been silent all this while, was a foreigner who planned before taking action. He first let Lucca and the others test the waters and see what the situation was like.
Angelo probably knew why Yuan Zhou refused him. He was confident that he could persuade Yuan Zhou.
In this world, who would mind having more money, right?
