The people of the Li family are the opposite of these people. They are not proud of their wealth, which is very rare.

There’s also the matter of character. Jack Lee has some abilities, but after getting along with Zhou Zhi for a long time, he discovered that this kid didn’t know if he lacked the love of his parents since he was a child, and his character is a bit “strong on the outside but hard on the inside”.

Even though he looks extremely strong and confident, he actually hides an inferiority complex that is difficult for others to detect.

People with this kind of personality are often seen in history books, and they can even be analyzed in many emperors.

Even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was heartbroken because he killed his brother and imprisoned his father. He had to stand guard in the middle of the night with Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao to sleep soundly, not to mention the rest.

Such a person often needs a support. It does not mean how strong such support is, but that he does not have to be afraid of exposing his shortcomings in front of this person, and this person can also reconcile his psychology and make up for the shortcomings in his heart.

Short board, that's enough.

After making up for this shortcoming, such a person will no longer be afraid of any challenge, and will become a tough and powerful person who will cause headaches to all opponents.

Now it seems that Cousin An An is just the person Jack Lee needs.

After the two of them drank wine and talked slowly and deeply, Zhou Zhi learned a lot about cousin An An's deeds and why Jack Li was fascinated by her.

A girl in her twenties, who had just graduated from the technical school of Dongfang Electric Machinery Factory and had not even obtained a diploma from the Radio and TV University, entered the Canton Fair with a product that was not yet famous, and fought her way through the cunning old world.

One day, when facing experienced businessmen from Hong Kong Island, they negotiated the patent agency terms bit by bit.

A year later, she came back again, this time bringing a large amount of funds, and then joined forces to defeat the potential threats of the foundry bosses, introduced modern production lines, and established the largest and most modern security door lock production company in the country.

.

Such an achievement is no less than Jack Lee's operation of following the European currency crisis, and even exceeds it.

Naturally, there were many people who contributed, but Jack Li's support for cousin An An was unparalleled by Zhou Zhi and Xu Anran.

The two of them can be said to have formed a "great friendship" during the battle. From overseas patent agency, to authorizing the establishment of a currency fund, to providing Jin An with a Hong Kong capital background, to introducing production lines to invest in building factories, they have experienced countless ups and downs.

, there is me in you and you in me, and a deep relationship has been developed unconsciously.

After an analysis, the two are really a "good match".

Zhou Zhi has already thought about how to go back and persuade his family: his uncle, his third wife, and his cousin An An have now grown into big entrepreneurs with tens of millions of dollars in capital. It is really difficult to find a man who is a good match. It is really impossible.

Just stay away and find a rich second-generation general manager of an investment bank in Hong Kong and forget it...

"Then will Cousin An An come to see me this time?" Zhou Zhi was a little dissatisfied: "How about dividing the property, can she not show up?"

"She has given me full authority to act as her agent. An Xin is still a little shy... please give her some more time."

Cousin An An?! Shy?! Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded. This is even more incredible than hearing Li Laosan say that cousin An An has a temperament!

Forget it, there are still many things to do, and he is too lazy to argue with her. Zhou Zhi asked again: "With the Americans and Japanese, are you looking for uncle?"

"Looking for it, An Zhai flew right over." Jack Li said with a smile: "Wanqiu is also back. There is a preview tonight, so we will go there first in the afternoon."

Lin Wanqiu's former employer in Hong Kong was called Guardian. Later, Lin Wanqiu withdrew from Guardian and became an independent cultural relics and jewelry broker. However, the boss was always reluctant to let him go. He always held the title of Guardian appraisal consultant and even invited Lin Wanqiu to many heavyweight auctions.

It's really a great honor to come and host it.

Speaking of which, Lin Wanqiu is truly temperamental, well versed in Chinese and Western knowledge, full of intellectual beauty, and at the same time able to create an atmosphere in a timely manner.

She presides over the auction in a soft voice, often as if chatting with the big guys in the audience. She likes to use words such as "Mr. Li, I think I can add a little something." "Mr. Zhang, this collection should be very good."

Does it suit your taste? Why don’t you try it again?" This kind of tempting language has a good grasp on the psychology of the people participating in the auction.

However, the big bosses are particularly convinced of this and are usually very positive. Therefore, the prices of the auctions hosted by Lin Wanqiu are very high.

Guardian's main focus this time is "personal collections". Judging from the current economic situation in Hong Kong Island, there are many private collectors who want to cash out. These people have basically completed the immigration procedures, but they cannot take away their belongings.

However, there will also be a problem, that is, the price of this auction may not be high, because the willingness of local players in Hong Kong Island to buy is bound to not be too high.

Therefore, a few heavyweight auction items are needed to stir up the atmosphere, and at the same time, foreign players must be brought in to participate.

Therefore, the fragments of Zen Master Kukai's "Mahivi Sutra" collected by Sir Li Qiyan, unsurprisingly became an important item in this auction.

There is also another important item, which is the Xuande Kui dragon-patterned large jar from Lin Wanqiu's studio. However, it is still to be determined whether this one is a genuine Xuande blue and white vase.

The division and dilution case specialist was recruited again, and after signing a large number of documents, the procedure was considered to be completed.

Zhou Zhi’s main overseas assets are now in the U.S. stock market. As IBM comes out of its trough, and various versions of Microsoft’s personal windows systems continue to be released, the stock prices of the two stocks have risen a lot, and now their total value has exceeded 60 million US dollars.

However, Zhou Zhi basically holds a full position, and does not have much disposable cash on hand. It is impossible to ship before the big cycle is over, so there is actually not much liquidity.

This dilution and split with Jin An, in addition to allowing him to continue to hold 8.2% of Jin An's original shares, equivalent to 4.3 million US dollars, also gained 1,285 US dollars.

With a disposable capital of 10,000 US dollars, I had the confidence to participate in the auction.

After having a simple working meal with Jack Lee at noon, Jack Lee and Zhou Zhi went to Lin Wanqiu's studio in Kowloon together.

It's said to be a studio, but it's actually a huge warehouse. Lin Wanqiu is an expert at setting up exhibitions. For this Guardian auction, the collections are all placed in the warehouse. There are exposed metal pipes and reinforced concrete structures everywhere, and they are displayed in showcases.

The exquisite cultural relics form a strong visual conflict between the mechanical punk style and the timeless and implicit beauty of classical music, which unexpectedly complement each other.

When setting up the exhibition, Lin Wanqiu liked to wear big shirts and overalls, a soft-brimmed cloth hat and black-rimmed glasses, looking like an archaeologist.

Then Zhou Zhi discovered that Lin Wanqiu was followed by a follower, the second eldest son of the Li family, Li Lehai.

"Third brother, are you here?" Li Lehai also wore black-rimmed glasses and held a leather wallet and signature pen in his hand. Fortunately, he was doing registration work, and he seemed to be a temporary executive secretary.
