Chapter 35 A good show, Su Yuan uses fakes to pay off debts

That night, Xu Lieguang hosted a banquet with part of the funds from the Magic City Museum to entertain Professor Chen, Su Yuan and others.

At the banquet, Professor Chen and Xu Lieguang had no time to drink and were only focused on discussing some cultural relics with Su Yuan.

Su Yuan answered the questions fluently on the spot. With the knowledge of the Three Thousand Collections of Xia Cultural Relics and the 5,000-year history of China, he knew the history and cultural relics of ancient and modern China like the back of his hand. His profound knowledge amazed Xu Lieguang and Professor Chen.

The two old men couldn't help but feel more impressed by Su Yuan's knowledge and abilities, and even felt like they had become a close friend and a close friend regardless of age.

When the three of them were chatting, Lian Zixuan could hardly get a word in, and Yang Xianni and Chu Yu next to them couldn't get a word in at all.

The banquet cost Xu Lieguang more than a thousand yuan, but everyone enjoyed themselves very much. After the meal, Su Yuan sent Yang Xianni to a taxi and promised to treat her to a good meal another day.

Then Su Yuan said goodbye to Professor Chen and Xu Lieguang, and left the hotel while walking and chatting with Zixuan.

The next morning, Su Yuan came to his own shop in the antique city early with a box in his arms.

Not long after the door opened, Sun Guang came running over with two burly followers in suits.

After taking a look at Su Yuan, Sun Guang said coldly:

"Su Yuan, you found such a big bargain yesterday, you should have the money to pay us back, right?"

Su Yuan was stunned to see Sun Guang coming so early, and his expression suddenly became a little awkward:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sun. I was asked to donate those two artifacts to the Magic City Museum yesterday, so..."

Sun Guang sneered:
"Since you have no money, don't try to imitate others' noble character. Those two treasures are worth 80 million, and you actually donated them just like that!"

"But these things have nothing to do with us anymore. I just want to know if you have the money to pay back today! Today is Sunday. If you still don't have the money to pay back, I can file a lawsuit tomorrow and ask the court to seal up your shop!"

After a moment of silence, Su Yuan said:

"Hold on!"

After saying that, he walked out of the house and invited Xu Wenliang, who lived opposite, to his house.

"Uncle Xu, I have an authentic Tang Bohu painting, but I haven't sold it yet. Can you please take a look at it for me?"

When Xu Wenliang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he followed Su Yuan to his shop.

After Su Yuan opened the scroll, Xu Wenliang took a closer look and his eyes seemed to be attracted immediately.

Like Professor Chen and others, Xu Wenliang could not find any suspicious points in this painting. From the characteristics of the painting, the inscriptions and the seal, he quickly determined that this was an authentic work of Tang Bohu.

"Su Yuan, this painting is an authentic work of Tang Bohu. When did you get it?"

"To be honest, Uncle Xu, this is what my father left behind. I have always thought of it as a thought and have never been willing to sell it. But now Mr. Sun is pressing for repayment, and I really have no other choice. Can I mortgage this painting with you, and then borrow some money from you to pay them back first?"

When Xu Wenliang heard this, he immediately frowned.

He has confirmed that this painting is an authentic work of Tang Bohu and its value should be around five or six million.

If Su Yuan asked him to accept it, he would definitely accept it without hesitation, but the price would definitely not be five million!
But Su Yuan was just a mortgage, which made him a little hesitant.

Although he had the original painting of Tang Bohu in his hand, he didn't have to worry about Su Yuan not having the money to pay him back, but borrowing money was still borrowing money. Once Su Yuan got the money together, the painting would return to Su Yuan.

And Xu Wenliang just received a favor from a good neighbor!
Su Yuan seemed even more anxious when he saw Xu Wenliang hesitate:
"Uncle Xu, please help me. I will be able to get the money together in a few days and I will definitely pay you back then!"

At this time, Sun Guang suddenly had an idea after hearing his words, and he randomly winked at the two followers. One of the followers immediately invited Liu Desheng out from the next room.

When Liu Desheng came to Su Yuan's shop and took a look, he quickly determined that this was Tang Bohu's authentic work.

"Yes, this is indeed Tang Bohu's authentic work!"

Sun Guang felt more relieved when he heard this, and immediately pulled Liu Desheng aside and asked in a low voice:

“How much of this painting can you see?”

Liu Desheng thought for a moment and whispered:

"It should be around five or six million. If it's put up for auction, it will definitely sell for more!"

As soon as Sun Guang heard this, he immediately had an idea and called Shen Yuanfeng.

When Shen Yuanfeng heard that Su Yuan had actually taken out an authentic painting of Tang Bohu from his home, he immediately sent an appraisal expert from the company.

The expert quickly arrived at the antique city and after some appraisal, he quickly confirmed that the painting was indeed an authentic work of Tang Bohu.

Moreover, the price given by this expert was even higher. He felt that if this painting was put into operation in the Gujin Cultural Relics Company, it could be sold for at least 10 million!

After getting the definite answer, Shen Yuanfeng immediately instructed Sun Guang to take down the painting, preferably at a price of five million to pay off the debt!
After Sun Guang got the boss's words, he immediately walked up to Su Yuan:
"Su Yuan, your father owes our company five million. Can you come up with the money now?"

Su Yuan smiled bitterly:
"Mr. Sun, can't you see I'm trying to find a solution?"

Then he turned to Xu Wenliang and said:
"Uncle Xu, can you help me?"

Xu Wenliang sighed and pretended to be embarrassed:
"Su Yuan, it's not that I don't want to help, I just can't come up with so much money all at once..."

Su Yuan couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

After seeing the two national treasures yesterday, Xu Wenliang offered 70 million without hesitation.

Can’t even come up with five million today?
It’s because I don’t want to borrow money for no reason and get no benefit from it!

It turns out that this antique street is full of old foxes!
Thinking of this, Su Yuan still pretended to look sad on the surface.

At this time, Sun Guang smiled and said:

"Su Yuan, how about this? You use this painting as collateral and our company will suffer a small loss. We will take it for five million and use it as repayment for your father's debt. Then the debt between us will be written off!"

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he looked reluctant:

"Mr. Sun, this painting was left by my father. I wanted to keep it as a souvenir..."

Sun Guang couldn't help but sneer:

"Not only did your father leave you this painting, he also left you a debt of five million!"

After Su Yuan hesitated for a moment, he said:

"But... this painting is worth at least six million!"

Sun Guang immediately said:
"That's easy. If you can sell it now, just pay me back! If not, then you'd better mortgage the painting to our company to pay off the debt!"
