Daily Intelligence: Starting Out, I Won a Thirty Million Lottery Grand Prize

“Worth hundreds of millions? Little Friend Su, what do you mean by that?” Old Man Wang asked, puzzled.
It couldn't be that he found something worth hundreds of millions in the Antique City, could it?
These days, even finding a regular bargain in the Antique City is difficult. A treasure worth hundreds of millions simply couldn't exist, let alone be found as a bargain.
Could it be that he wanted to discuss business with him?
Old Man Wang pondered for two seconds and concluded this was the case.
“Old Man Wang, I’d like to ask whose works are the most valuable in today’s antique calligraphy and paintings!” Su Yun immediately asked.
“Haha, whose calligraphy and paintings are the most valuable?”
“As the saying goes, rarity makes things precious. Calligraphy and paintings by Huang Tingjian of the Song Dynasty, and paintings by the great Ming Dynasty talent Tang Bohu, have all fetched astonishingly high prices at auction. If anyone owns one of their paintings or pieces of calligraphy, it would be worth at least hundreds of millions.”
“What, could it be that the hundreds of millions project Little Friend Su mentioned is this? Or does Little Friend Su possess one of these masters’ calligraphy or paintings?”
“These paintings are rare in existence. Little Friend Su couldn’t possibly have found a bargain like that, could he?” Old Man Wang said with a smile.
Su Yun also smiled upon hearing this, but didn’t say much, directly pointing his camera at the painting spread out on the table: “Old Man Wang, what do you think this painting of mine is worth?”
“Hahaha, it’s just…” Old Man Wang took a general look, initially thinking it was a high-quality replica Su Yun had bought. But at a glance, the painting as a whole was executed in one fluid stroke, with extremely smooth artistic charm, and it was a type never seen on the market before!
Upon closer inspection, Old Man Wang suddenly became agitated, pointing at the painting by Tang Bohu, his whole body trembling with excitement!
“Holy crap!”
“What’s going on?!”
“This artistic charm, this brushwork, this fluid, natural quality!”

“Oh my god!” Old Man Wang was usually a refined, highly respected elder, but now he was swearing repeatedly!
“A genuine work by Tang Bohu, and with a complete inscription… Phew…” Old Man Wang carefully examined the painting through the video, and after a long while, he felt the hot current still surging through his body!
“Little Friend Su… where did you get this genuine work by Tang Bohu?”
“You absolutely must not say that this was also a bargain found at that Antique City!” Old Man Wang said with a shocked expression. He often visited that Antique City, and if this genuine work truly came from there as a bargain, it would be absolutely astounding!
If that were the case, it would be a huge news story that would shock the entire antique street, and Jiangcheng Antique City would become the most renowned Antique City in the world!
“No,” Su Yun said slowly.
Hearing this, Old Man Wang finally felt a bit of relief. Tang Bohu’s paintings are extremely rare in existence. If such a peerless masterpiece could also be found as a bargain, then it would truly be… Well, he himself had been in the antique world for decades and hadn't found such a treasure. How could Su Yun, a young man, possibly have done so?
With this thought, Old Man Wang's heart also calmed down a lot. He wasn't someone who couldn't stand to see others do well, but he felt that at his age, with his prestige, to be repeatedly outdone by a young man was truly a loss of face... So, upon hearing this, Old Man Wang felt a sense of comfort.
“Haha, you’re a lucky young man! To be able to obtain this painting, a family heirloom, are you really willing to part with ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) it?” Old Man Wang asked.
“Well… this painting isn’t an heirloom of mine,” Su Yun said.
“Hmm? It’s not your family heirloom? Did you buy it at a high price from somewhere else and bring it to me to appraise?” Old Man Wang asked, puzzled.
“Neither. This painting of mine wasn’t found as a bargain in the Antique City; it was found as a bargain elsewhere. You know that place, the Antique City, couldn’t possibly have this painting,” Su Yun said calmly.
“Hahaha, I was just about to say…” Old Man Wang’s words suddenly caught in his throat… his face once again became shocked!
It was found as a bargain from somewhere else?
Isn't that still a bargain? Is the location of the bargain that important?
To be able to find a bargain like this, it's not just a matter of discerning eyes; this is a matter of immense luck, coupled with an invincible mental state and absolute discernment to achieve!
If he had encountered this painting, even after half a lifetime of remaining unperturbed by honor or disgrace, he wouldn't have been able to remain calm.
And during a transaction, every subtle movement of the buyer would be seen clearly by the seller!
Thinking of this, Old Man Wang couldn't help but sigh deeply at Su Yun's abilities… “Ah… I’m just old, and I have to admit it…”
“Ultimately, the waves behind push the waves ahead, each higher than the last!”
“Little Friend Su, I, this old man, am truly impressed with you…”
“This painting of yours has an extremely high auction value. You came to me, and while I’m interested, I don’t have the financial ability to purchase it,” Old Man Wang said with a sigh.
“Hahaha, Old Man Wang is too modest. I was just lucky. I called you because I wanted to cooperate.”
“Old Man Wang is a senior in the antique world, and his connections are naturally very extensive. I mainly want to ask Old Man Wang to act as a go-between, to get this painting to an auction as soon as possible, and to sell it quickly,” Su Yun said.
“Oh? So Little Friend Su has this plan, that makes sense!”
“I do know many auction house owners both domestically and internationally, and I have the ability to get this work to an auction!” Old Man Wang’s tone became serious.
To this day, the most expensive painting by Tang Bohu can even fetch billions, and the cheapest is tens of millions!
And this particular painting is clearly a mid-to-upper-grade work among Tang Bohu’s paintings. Having dealt with antiques for many years, Old Man Wang knew in his heart that if this painting were sold directly to a buyer, it could reach nearly two hundred million. If it were at an auction, the price would only be higher!
Therefore, facing such a matter, Old Man Wang had to treat it seriously and earnestly!
“Little Friend Su, although I can judge the authenticity of this painting just through video, this is a serious matter, so I still need to see the physical object with my own eyes!” Old Man Wang said.
“That’s natural.”
“I’m afraid of any accidents if I take such a painting out. How about Old Man Wang comes here to see it in person?” Su Yun said.
“Okay! I’ll make the trip, Little Friend Su, please give me your location,” Old Man Wang replied.
“I’m currently at Villa No. 6 in the Banshan Villa Area. Old Man Wang, you can come over anytime,” Su Yun continued.
“Alright, I won’t waste any more words, Little Friend Su, wait a moment, I’ll be there right away!”
“A famous painting with a conservative value of two hundred million! Little Friend Su, I, this old man, congratulate you now…”
The two spoke a few more sentences and then hung up. Su Yun also let out a breath; with Old Man Wang handling this matter, it could be considered perfect… He glanced to the side and suddenly noticed that Li Hu’s expression was completely blank, as if he had been greatly shocked!
“Boss… are you saying… this painting… is worth two hundred million?” Li Hu asked, looking at the painting with a surprised expression…
