After Erwin returned, he immediately told Damon to find an expert in the appraisal of antiques in the city of Bandung. He wanted to know if the two items he had brought from Hans's collection room were genuine. It would be a shame to give someone a fake product.
The member immediately came to Villa Mahkota, he was an old man wearing cheongsam clothes with gray hair, he has been recognized as the best antiques appraiser in Bandung named Brian.
“Mr Brian, can you help me to confirm the authenticity of this painting?” Erwin asked respectfully and a very looking forward look.
“Good, Young master Erwin.” Brian did not dare to mince words and slow down, let alone antiques as good as this.
Immediately, Brian took out the identification toolbox he was carrying, inside it contained a wide variety of tools with many other types. After all, Erwin knew nothing about it, so he could only watch on the side.
Brian opened the painting "Ali Sadikin At the Time of Independence" on the table, then carefully examined it wholeheartedly.
As time went on, Erwin also became nervous, he was not sure if Hans was tricking him or not, Fortunately, Brian quickly got the results.
“Young master Erwin, “Ali Sadikin At the Time of Independence” is indeed original, but I am very curious, where did Young Master Erwin get it?” Brian placed the magnifying glass in his hand and asked curiously.
“This painting I got from a brother.” Erwin frowned, suddenly worried that this painting might come from an unknown source, so wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible after sending it.
"As far as I can tell, this "Ali Sadikin In the Age of Independence" was auctioned off by a foreign seller almost for 60 billion rupiah 30 years ago, and there was no news of this painting after that, I never thought I could see it here."
“This painting is almost 60 billion?” Erwin was a little surprised, as this Hans should not have been able to buy this painting at all, so it seems that Hans used a certain cunning way to get it from the foreign seller.
After judging "Ali Sadikin During Independence", Erwin asked Brian to help assess the purple jade bracelet, and the bracelet was also original, and indeed a relic of a Royal princess, the market price can reach 600 million rupiah.
Erwin was very satisfied with these two antiques.
The next morning, at the Padma Hotel.
Today is the 80th birthday of David Aleda, the head of the Aleda family in Bandung City. Many guests came to the hotel to celebrate the old man's birthday, but most of them were from members of the Aleda family, and some were friends and students invited by David.
Formerly, David was a professor in the Department of Economics and Management of a university, he taught a large number of students. Because he was very interested in the trend of economic development, so he took the initiative to step down from his position as a professor, and took advantage of the social network he owned to build a business, he said, so it can be said to be very successful because it has many branches of companies in various fields.
But due to his old age, he retired and divided his company equally to his three sons and one daughter, then did not interfere at all and became obsessed with antiques.
Therefore, all of David's sons and daughters are famous rich people in Bandung City, and each has his own company, as well as their children who will be inherited.
But today, Lina and her family were sitting humbly and quietly at a corner table.
“Lucas, you usually really want to talk to them, so why just sit still and smoke here?” Lina's mother Mary asked curiously when she saw Lucas just sitting and smoking quietly in the corner.
"Oh, I'm not interested in such mediocre figures, so why bother wasting energy on boasting with them." Since approaching the mysterious rich man named Erwin, Lucas' tastes and views have been different, and not interested in family members who have mediocre status.
"Your own company is closing, but you still have time for big mouth here, you're so no different from Lina's poor boyfriend, you can only be big mouth." Mary said as she looked at him furiously.
They used to use cars, houses and all the working capital of the company to buy land in the east of the city, but the land was not allowed to build a hotel, so it makes no difference to invest something in vain, so the company continues to lose every day, and William who is a board member is also always looking for ways to lower Lucas from his position as President.
With such difficulties both internal and external, Lucas did not want to exploit and bridge the relationship with the upper echelons, nor did he want to take this opportunity to withdraw some funds to fill the company's shortfall, but just sitting quietly here with a big mouth, so how could Mary not be angry?
“Regarding company affairs, take it easy, it is impossible to close! Our family won't go bankrupt." Lucas said casually, because with the prospective son-in-law named Erwin, why he was worried about money.
However, Lucas had not told his wife and daughter about Erwin, so it was only natural that Mary was very anxious.
“Looks like my words were in vain!” Mary doesn't manage to move Lucas, so she persuades her daughter,
"Lina, your father's company might go bankrupt, plus our house and car are already pawned, so if we go bankrupt, you can't enjoy your luxurious life like this anymore."
“Bu, what do you want to say,” said Lina with furrowed brows.
"You know Vincent Louis, right? the son of your grandfather's most proud student, he was a genius in college, and after five years' graduation, he was a genius, now he has set up a real estate company himself that can rank in the top ten in the city of Bandung, let alone his social network, which is also his, the most important thing is that her family background is pretty good and she is still single. Didn't he come after you a few years ago? Let's go greet him now." Mary's Advice.
“Bu, what are you talking about! I just love Erwin.” Lina really doesn't understand her mother anymore. Recently, her mother always told her to look for a richer boyfriend.
"Erwin, Erwin, one by one already hypnotized by the poor boy, indeed a poor young man from the countryside can help what against our family company in crisis? I really don't know what to do to you to make you realize, we're going broke, and living on the streets, plus being the laughingstock of relatives." Mary was really angry.
Right at this moment, a handsome young man walked over here,
“Lina, long time no see." The rich and handsome young man who spoke was Vincent who was called by Mary just now, a rising star in Bandung City.
