"Thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars!"
Chapter Thirty-One: Traitor!
The one who quoted HK$30,000 was, of course, Liu Wenhao, who was sitting in the rest area.
With his top-notch painting skills, Liu Wenhao knew very well that Ruan Wen's paintings were worth at most a few hundred Hong Kong dollars.
The reason Liu Wenhao chose to quote HK$30,000 was not because he particularly liked the painting.
Rather, it was a means to subdue the painter Li Wen.
The Li Wen before me is somewhat different from the one in Wushuang, but they both started as poor painters.
Money is Li Wen's most fatal weakness.
"Is he fucking sick?!"
"This kind of painting can fetch up to 30,000 Hong Kong dollars!"
The middle-aged man, who was determined to win, had no idea what Liu Wenhao was thinking. He was completely dumbfounded when he heard the offer of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Despite his seemingly wealthy appearance, this middle-aged man actually only has three to five thousand Hong Kong dollars in his wallet.
They can't even come up with 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, let alone 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Despite not realizing it, the middle-aged man still pretended to be indifferent, constantly uttering curses.
Upon hearing the curses, Luo Tianhong, Tony, and Ah Hu's expressions instantly turned icy.
If it weren't for Liu Wenhao's signal to them, the middle-aged man would have died on the spot!
The reason for temporarily preventing Luo Tianhong and his group from taking action is simple: besides avoiding unnecessary trouble, the matter of the painter Li Wen has not yet been resolved.
The middle-aged man's life might still have a use!
……
Liu Wenhao's offer of HK$30,000 attracted the attention of everyone present.
Li Wen, the painter sitting in the crowd, glanced in the direction of Liu Wenhao.
Li Wen was unaware of Liu Wenhao's identity, let alone that Liu Wenhao had come specifically for him.
Looking at the HK$30,000 on Liu Wenhao's desk, and then down at the HK$1,000 or so in his own hand, Li Wen lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
At the subsequent art exhibitions, Liu Wenhao consistently outbid the middle-aged men in every bidding process.
Every time a painting was sold, Li Wen would glance at Liu Wenhao, his hands gripping the more than one thousand Hong Kong dollars tightly.
By the time Ruan Wen's last painting was sold, the Hong Kong dollars in Li Wen's hands were already crumpled and tattered!
"Thank you for your patronage, sir!"
"Give me an address, and I'll send you all the paintings!"
Liu Wenhao bought all of Ruan Wen's paintings as if he had booked the entire venue, for which Ruan Wen could only express his gratitude repeatedly.
Cindy and the other girls became a little embarrassed.
So, they still owe Liu Wenhao a favor.
"Give it to him."
Liu Wenhao did not give Ruan Wen an address. He glanced in the direction Li Wen was in and then turned and left the art museum.
Although Ruan Wen had some doubts about this, he still did as he was told and walked up to Li Wen.
When Li Wen saw Ruan Wen appear, he hurriedly put away the tattered Hong Kong dollars in his hand.
He left Ruan Wen an address, and then, as if he had made up his mind, walked out of the art museum and quickly walked up to Liu Wenhao.
“I want to make money!”
When Li Wen came to Liu Wenhao, he only said four words, but his expression was unusually firm.
"What makes you think you can make money?"
Liu Wenhao was not surprised at all by Li Wen's appearance.
He took the Marlboro cigarette case out of his suit pocket and took out the last cigarette from it.
"I am also a painter."
"And... my family has been making counterfeit paper for three generations!"
When he said the second sentence, Li Wen hesitated for a few seconds.
But in the end, he revealed his family background.
The reason Li Wen was willing to risk revealing this was because he knew that with his level of painting skills, it was impossible for him to make any money.
The only thing that made money was the fake paper technique passed down from their parents.
If you want Liu Wenhao to help you make money, you have to reveal your money-making skills.
As for whether Liu Wenhao would leak the information, Li Wen was already at his wit's end and didn't say he was particularly afraid.
"The profits from counterfeit paper are not low."
Liu Wenhao exhaled smoke and sat down on a public bench by the street.
To be honest, Liu Wenhao's encounter with Li Wen was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Logically speaking, it's true that Li Wen was poor at the beginning.
But after being exposed to counterfeit paper craftsmanship, they should have escaped poverty.
How could things have come to this? Despite having access to counterfeit paper technology, we're still dirt poor.
"The returns are indeed quite high."
"But starting five years ago, the anti-counterfeiting technology became more and more advanced."
"Even if you can get your hands on color-changing ink and paper, without a high degree of similarity in printing plates, it is very difficult to produce counterfeit paper that is available in the market."
"Our current technology can only maintain our stable daily expenses."
"For me, being able to casually produce tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars is no different from daydreaming."
Li Wen gave a helpless smile and told Liu Wenhao what had happened.
Perhaps due to the integration of Hong Kong films with the world, Li Wen did not have the same smooth journey as in Project Gutenberg.
Printing the printing plate became the biggest problem facing Li Wen.
Liu Wenhao leaned back in his seat, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.
Li Wen's biggest problem is that he has a perfect item in his inventory!
"damn it!"
"That was the bastard!"
"If it weren't for him, I would have gotten my hands on that painter surnamed Ruan long ago!"
Just as Liu Wenhao was pondering, the middle-aged man from the art exhibition strode in menacingly with several traitors!
Chapter Thirty-Two: Adding Another Business!
A middle-aged man in a black short-sleeved shirt appeared arrogantly, accompanied by several traitors.
The middle-aged man was not a member of the gang, but rather a mahjong parlor owner in West Malaysia who liked to hang out with traitors.
At the art exhibition, Liu Wenhao always bid higher than him, and the middle-aged man had been holding back his anger for a long time.
After the art exhibition ended, the middle-aged man immediately contacted several traitors, intending to have them teach Liu Wenhao a lesson.
"damn it!".
"I heard you're quite wealthy, how about we get something..."
On their way here, seven or eight traitors had heard from the middle-aged man that Liu Wenhao was extremely generous.
The art exhibition, which lasted only two hours, cost at least HK$100,000!
Even if they could get 10,000 Hong Kong dollars from Liu Wenhao, it would be enough for them to squander for several months.
Thinking they would have money to spend, the eight traitors went straight to Liu Wenhao and asked for the money.
One of the thugs, a large, obese man, even went so far as to physically assault Liu Wenhao, who was deep in thought about perfecting the printing plate.
boom!
Before the traitor could even touch Liu Wenhao, Ah Hu's fist had already landed on his face!
All that could be heard was the sound of a cheekbone shattering. The traitor flew three or four meters away like a sandbag, lying on the ground coughing up blood.
"..."
Seeing their companion lying beside them, coughing up blood and spitting out teeth every now and then, the traitors were somewhat taken aback.
Upon realizing what had happened, the traitors involuntarily took a few steps back.
What a joke!
If that punch landed on them, they would be crippled for the rest of their lives, even if they didn't die!
"Grass!"
"It's over...it's all over!"
Just as they stepped back four or five steps, the traitors noticed Liu Wenhao raising his head.
Liu Wenhao had been deep in thought about the perfect printing plate, but when he heard Ah Hu making a move, he gradually raised his head.
The eight traitors trembled upon seeing Liu Wenhao's face!
Two of the more timid ones even knelt down directly in front of Liu Wenhao!
Thinking of the respectful attitude of hundreds of Tung Sing members towards Liu Wenhao, the fear of the eight traitors spread to every corner of their bodies!
With cold sweat pouring down their foreheads, the traitors didn't dare to breathe, pressing their trembling legs down hard with their hands!
The middle-aged man, who had been so arrogant, was once again dumbfounded and at a loss.
Although he hadn't witnessed what happened yesterday, judging from the behavior of the traitors, he knew that Liu Wenhao's identity was definitely not simple!
Thinking about Ah Hu's strength and Liu Wenhao's identity, the middle-aged man became more and more alarmed, and his short-sleeved shirt was soon soaked with cold sweat!
"This is Dongxing's territory."
"Tell me, why can't I be here?"
Liu Wenhao flicked the ash off his cigarette, his eyes gradually turning cold.
"Ding! The God-level Choice System has been activated. Please make a choice as soon as possible:"
1. Let the traitor and the middle-aged man go! (Reward: +3 Free Attribute Points)
Second, eliminate the traitor and the middle-aged man in front of you! (You will receive a +3 Younger Brother Enhancement Card)
The moment the cigarette ash hit the ground, system notifications echoed in Liu Wenhao's mind.
This time, Liu Wenhao immediately had his answer.
The middle-aged man kept cursing at the art exhibition, and Liu Wenhao had no intention of letting him off the hook from beginning to end!
Since he's courting death, there's no reason not to grant his wish!
As for those traitors, their usual conduct is unruly and disorderly. Keeping them around will only do harm to Tung Sing, not good!
"Brother, this matter concerns us..."
Sensing the murderous intent in Liu Wenhao's eyes, the traitors and the middle-aged man immediately begged for mercy.
But before they could finish speaking, Ahua and Tony appeared in front of them.
The screams, mixed with the smell of blood, lasted for only about half a minute.
With Dongxing Straw Sandals arriving to clean up the scene, the matter was finally over.
Seeing Liu Wenhao's status, Li Wen's desire to make money with Liu Wenhao grew stronger!
In the end, Li Wen agreed to bring Si Zai, Wang Bo, and Hua Nu along with Liu Wenhao to earn a living on the condition that they would do so!
