Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

"Clap~"

Everyone's eyes turned to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, what solution have you come up with?"

Ever since he met He Yuzhu, Minister Li has always felt that He Yuzhu is his lucky star. Now seeing He Yuzhu so excited, hope is also ignited in his heart.

He Yuzhu knew that he had lost his composure, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

He stood up and said, "Mr. Liu, Comrade Minister Li, please wait for me for a moment. I will go get something."

After saying that, He Yuzhu quickly ran towards the room without waiting for permission. Everyone present was also confused. They looked at each other, but everyone prayed in their hearts that He Yuzhu would not let them down.

The first thing He Yuzhu did when he returned to the room was to take out all the sketches of Monet and Jacques-Louis David.

It's not that He Yuzhu was reluctant to take out the paintings of Picasso and Van Gogh, but he knew that a few tens of thousands of dollars of business would be more than enough for Monet's paintings. The reason why he also took out the paintings of Jacques-Louis David was just to be on the safe side.

Without having time to think too much, He Yuzhu hurriedly returned to the meeting room with the sketch.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming back with something in his hand, everyone's eyes lit up.

He Yuzhu walked to the podium and said, "Mr. Liu, Minister Li, these are some sketches I got when I went out shopping a few days ago."

In this day and age, many people do not know the value of works of art.

Several leaders who were arguing with each other near the rostrum frowned and said, "Zhu Zi, these paintings of yours are worth tens of thousands of dollars and are of no use."

He Yuzhu didn't know how to explain this to people who didn't know much about it. How could he explain it?

Fortunately, Mr. Liu studied in the Eiffel Tower Country when he was young, so he has some knowledge of Western art.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was very careful with the sketches, Mr. Liu knew that He Yuzhu was not a frivolous person, so he put on his glasses and picked up the sketches to examine them carefully.

The more I look at these sketches, the more I feel that they are not simple. Although I don’t know who created them, my intuition tells me that they are definitely not ordinary works.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu also became excited and quickly stood up and asked: "Zhu Zi, do you know the origin of these sketches?"

While Mr. Liu was looking at the painting, He Yuzhu's brain was working rapidly and he had come up with an explanation.

"Mr. Liu, to be honest, my father-in-law was once the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. When he was young, he also came to study in the Iron Tower Country. Seeing that I was not well educated, he taught me a lot about art."

He Yuzhu knew that the excuse he had come up with did not stand up to scrutiny, and there was no better solution until now, so he might as well give it a try.

Old Liu also knew Lou's father. Lou Bancheng once had some influence among the Chinese high-level officials. Especially during the three years of natural disasters, Lou's father donated all his assets and set a good example. Even the highest consul personally praised him. Naturally, Old Liu was impressed.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for He Yuzhu, Minister Li introduced who Lou Bancheng was to the comrades present.

He Yuzhu was deeply touched by the protection given to him by the two elders.

He immediately expressed his judgment on these sketches.

When it comes to Monet and Jacques-Louis David, except for Mr. Liu who knows something about them, the rest of the people are full of questions. What do these two people do?

At this time, Mr. Liu knocked on the table and said, "I know a little about Monet and Jacques-Louis David. Their status in the Iron Tower Country is almost the same as Yan Liben in China."

Most of the people present were somewhat educated, and when they heard that these two guys actually had such a high status in the Tower Country, they were immediately very excited.

The leaders who were questioning He Yuzhu just now no longer cared about their image and held He Yuzhu's hands tightly, praising him for being a good comrade.

Most people present thought that it was okay to sell these paintings to buy equipment, but Mr. Liu looked at Minister Li, knocked on the table and said:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, this is your personal property. You have the final say on how to deal with it."

He Yuzhu knew that Mr. Liu was not blackmailing him morally, but wanted everyone present to know that it was he, He Yuzhu, who used his own personal property to work for China.

To be honest, He Yuzhu had no intention of receiving any reward or compensation when he brought out these sketches. All he had was a deep patriotic feeling.

"Mr. Liu, Minister Li, comrades, for the sake of China, these sketches will be handed over to the organization. I hope they can play a role."

He Yuzhu didn't say that these sketches didn't cost much money. He Yuzhu still understood the principle of gratitude and resentment. Although he didn't want any return, he didn't want others to take it for granted.

Most of the people present did not understand the twists and turns, they only knew that He Yuzhu had an extremely high level of ideological awareness as he could donate such valuable items.

So everyone couldn't help but hum and applaud, and their hands turned red from clapping.

Only a few people thought that He Yuzhu was a little too cunning, but that was not a big deal.

Mr. Liu was very pleased to see that He Yuzhu donated the sketches without even frowning.

I secretly decided in my heart that I must tell this matter to my leaders when I return home, so as not to let those who have made great contributions suffer.

"Zhu Zi, on behalf of the organization, I would like to thank you. I will report your contribution to the leadership in person after returning home."

He Yuzhu was excited when he heard this. It took no more than five figures for Mr. Liu to be called a leader.

"Minister Liu Laoli, for China, my personal gains and losses are really nothing."

Everyone's applause became even louder.

With He Yuzhu's sketch, everyone was confident, so Mr. Liu waved his hand generously: "The meeting is adjourned."

It wasn't really a disbanded meeting. After all the irrelevant people left, only the core leadership and He Yuzhu were left.

"Zhu Zi, now tell everyone the value of these sketches, so that we won't suffer any loss during the negotiation."

To be honest, the question raised by Mr. Liu really stumped He Yuzhu, as he had no idea about the current art market in Europe.

"Online Laoliu, sincere service for you, fair price, no cheating."

Although Lao Liu was a little bit out of line at the moment, He Yuzhu still trusted the "black-hearted" Lao Liu.

So Lao Liu cheated me out of another gold bar and got an appraisal.

He Yuzhu was also excited when he heard that these sketches were worth one hundred thousand US dollars.

So he couldn't wait to tell everyone: "Mr. Liu, according to my estimation, these sketches are worth 100,000 US dollars, no more, no less."

When everyone heard this, they thought it was too rich. The Iron Tower Country only needed 30,000 US dollars, which was so much extra. The first thought in everyone's mind was to buy, buy, buy.

In fact, He Yuzhu was thinking whether the excess part could be exchanged for some things from his ancestors, but He Yuzhu also knew that it would be useless to say anything under the current situation.

He Yuzhu felt heartbroken when he thought that in a few years, some people would destroy many treasures left by our ancestors in the name of destroying the four olds. Fortunately, there are still a few years left, and he hopes that he can think of a solution before it happens.
