“Buy? Would they be willing to sell it?” Anna also lowered her voice as she spoke.
“Since they put the sculpture in the park, they definitely don’t know its value so we should be able to buy it with a little to no money,” Alan spoke with a lot of confidence in his voice.
They quickie arrived at the Management Center of this Cultural Park as if they were afraid that the sculpture would run away after a while and stated their intentions to buy the sculpture and offered a price of 20,000 Yuan.
In fact, they were willing to pay ten times as much, not to mention twenty thousand, but they didn’t want to make it so obvious, so they deliberately lowered the price to test the waters.
Director Wang of the management center was puzzled to hear that these two foreigners had the intention of buying the sculptures of their park.
As far as he knew, the marble sculptures of the Fong Lam Court were of average value and that is after considering the fact that they were carved by sculptors.
Some of them would at most go for one thousand or two thousand, and the most expensive one was not more than five thousand.
These two foreigners unexpectedly bid 20,000 yuan for such a sculpture and they even wanted to bring it home, what’s wrong with these two people?
“We are very interested in Chinese culture and want to buy a sculpture to take back as a souvenir,” Anna spoke in her non-standard Mandarin.
“You’d better buy something else, something that is easy to carry.” Director Wang advised in a kind tone.
“We liked that sculpture and didn’t want anything else,” Anna said.
“Which sculpture do you want to buy?” Director Wang couldn’t help but ask. He thought that it was just a sculpture and since they wanted it so much, and the price they offered was so high then it wouldn’t hurt to sell it to them, and they could buy a few more for the money it sold.
“We want to buy this.” Alan took out his phone, which was the sculpture in front of the pool rockery.
“Huh!” Director Wang glanced at it and was stunned for a moment. Why hasn’t he seen this sculpture before? Also, it looks so beautiful, no wonder these two foreigners want to buy it and take it with them.
“Right, this should be a new addition when Mr. Su was remodeling that area two days ago.” Director Wang of course knows that Su Jing is responsible for the reconstruction of the Fong Lam Court because it was approved by the Urban Development Bureau and he didn’t bother to look into this matter since a big shot like Su Jing had taken over that project.
After the renovation was completed, he went to take a look and felt very satisfied, thinking that rich people are different from ordinary people.
Not only was Su Jing willing to spend money on free renovation, but he made it very artistic. However, he only took a cursory look and did not notice the sculpture.
“This sculpture was put here by Mr. Su, so I can’t just sell it.” Director Wang thought to himself. He looked at Alan and Anna and asked them to wait a moment, and then called the Urban Construction Bureau Bureau Chief.
After getting on the phone, Director Wang went straight to the point: “Bureau Chief Zhou, Mr. Su remodeled the Fong Lam Court and put an additional sculpture there. There are two foreigners here who want to buy it, and they also offered 20,000 yuan. What do you think?”
“Mr. Su has not asked for a single penny from us. The sculpture he added to the Fong Lam Court is strictly his own. We can’t sell it.” The Bureau Chief of the Urban Construction Bureau expressed his attitude, and then asked strangely, “It’s just a garden sculpture, why are those two foreigners willing to spend 20,000 yuan to buy it? Wouldn’t it be troublesome to bring it back? By the way, I haven’t seen what Fong Lam Court has been transformed into so send me some pics.”
“I’ll send them right away.” Director Wang said and swiftly used his computer to send the photo of the new Fong Lam Court, along with the picture of the statue in front of the rockery.
The Urban Construction Bureau Bureau Chief opened it for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He knew what Fong Lam Court used to look like, and he felt that it was much more beautiful now.
As he looked closely, he found that most of them were the original scenery. After changing the layout, the court looks brand new and has a new level.
“Mr. Su is really an expert!” The Bureau Chief of the Urban Construction Bureau sighed sincerely, even if it is not free, it should not cost a lot of money to see such a scale of change.
He couldn’t help thinking that it would be amazing if the entire Cultural Park or even the entire Zhongyun City change like this and it would be great to hand over all the reconstruction work of the City to Su Jing.
But he also knows that this kind of thing can only be thought about, and making it a reality is basically impossible.
Su Jing may have just wanted to have a rest or maybe he was a little interested in the Fong Lam Court, so he may have been playing around. But the reconstruction work of the whole of Zhongyun City will be very troublesome and messy. How can someone like Su Jing have so much free time?
Soon, the Bureau Chief turned to the last photo, which was the sculpture photo. The Bureau Chief of the Urban Construction Bureau was stunned for a while when he saw the photo and couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed.
The more he looked, the more surprised he became. He somewhat understood why the two foreigners were willing to spend 20,000 yuan to buy this sculpture.
“Although I don’t know much about art, I can see that this sculpture is not that simple. The entire Fong Lam Court has been upgraded to a higher level just by its presence. It may be worth more than 20,000 yuan.” The Bureau Chief thought about it before he picked up his phone and called Su Jing, and told him about the matter.
Whether the sculpture should be sold or not, or whether it should be left in the Fong Lam Court is up to Su Jing so he just had to tell Su Jing about it.
Su Jing answered the phone, and he seemed very calm when he heard that someone wanted to buy the Sculpture. It was as if he had expected such a thing to happen.
He asked about the buyer’s identity and then asked Su Ti to investigate them. After reading their information, he drove his Porsche and went to the Fong Lam Court.
