Chapter 88 The Savior

"boss!"

When Guo Shouyun went out, there was a middle-aged man in his early thirties who was over 180 cm tall, with a strong physique, serious expression, slightly dark complexion, and obvious mixed-race features in his appearance.

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded at him. After a few days of getting along, he was relatively satisfied with the former SEAL retired special forces bodyguard that Wendy Solo found for him. With half German ancestry, he has a rigorous and responsible attitude unique to Germans, and the other half of Chinese ancestry also gives him enough loyalty and enthusiasm.

Rudy Mueller Chen, a three-generation Chinese, father of three, came here for Guo Shouyun's $20,000 monthly salary. Similarly, after a few days of getting along with him, he is quite satisfied with his approachable Chinese-American boss.

After bringing Rudy to the reception room, Guo Shouyun's eyes quickly focused on the old man sitting on the sofa chatting with Wendy.

"Professor Fred, nice to meet you!"

Guo Shouyun greeted him with a smile.

Parson Fred stood up and held the right hand that the other party took the initiative to stretch out.

"Mr. Guo is very polite."

After a simple greeting, the two were seated separately.

"I believe Wendy has told me the purpose of inviting you here just now?"

"Yes. Please rest assured, sir, our Fred Studio has the world's top oil painting restoration technology!" Parson Fred said confidently.

Of course, Guo Shouyun also believes in this. This professor of optimization and restoration at Pratt Institute of Art is not only a senior member of the International Association for the Protection of History, Culture and Art, but also a special oil painting restoration expert for a series of large and small art institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Shouyun specially invited him to restore the oil painting "Salvator Mundi", which more than 80% of which may belong to Leonardo da Vinci's genuine work, which he bought from the auction.

"I invited Professor Fred because of your excellent skills in oil painting restoration!" After that, Guo Shouyun stood up, "Professor, I will show you the painting!"

"OK!"

Under the leadership of Guo Shouyun, the group came to the second basement of the manor. After verifying the triple protection of iris, fingerprint and password, the password door at the bank vault level slowly opened. Soon, a nearly 500-square-meter secret room neatly lined with steel display racks appeared in front of everyone.

One of the main reasons why Guo Shouyun bought this luxury manor covering an area of ​​nearly 15,000 mu at the beginning was this super large and extremely well-protected storage room.

Of course, most of the display racks in this storage room are empty now, and there are only three artworks on a display rack directly opposite.

It was the last time Guo Shouyun accompanied Molly Bevan to buy from the auction 'one of the masterpieces of Maurice de Vlaminck, one of the masterpieces of the French Fauvism master in the 19th century', the Qianlong official kiln ware' powder. Colorful flower and butterfly pattern Ruyi ear gourd Zun', and Guo Shouyun's most important 'Leonardo da Vinci "The Savior"'!

"Professor Fred, the next thing you want to restore is this painting!"

Before coming to the exhibition stand, looking in the direction of the opponent's finger, "The Savior", which was covered with thick oil paint and was not of a high level, caught Parson Fred's eyes. He raised his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and after a moment of careful examination, he couldn't help frowning.

"Mr. Guo, with all due respect, the artistic level of this Da Vinci imitation painting is limited. Although it may have been passed down for decades or even hundreds of years, it is not worth the effort to restore."

"I understand. But this painting is very important to me. Professor Fred must repair it. For this, I am willing to pay any price!" Guo Shouyun emphasized.

When the true face of this "Salvator Mundi" was still covered up under thick paint, calling it the real work of Leonardo da Vinci would only provoke the other party's ridicule. Therefore, Guo Shouyun can only temporarily change the statement.

"All right!"

Parson Fred nodded. Anyway, he is here to make money. Since the other party insists, he will repair this "Savior".

"One more point, please agree with Professor Fred. Restoration of this painting can only be done in my home, it cannot be brought back to your studio!"

"This will slow down the progress of the repair!" Parson Fred frowned.

"It's okay. Also, I'll pay you according to the length of the repair!"

Parson Fred was soon out of his mind. As long as he can guarantee his own income, he is willing to respect any conditions of the client.

"When can I start?" Parson Fred said.

"at any time!"

"Understood, I'll go back and prepare the things I'll use, and come on time at 9 am tomorrow!"

"Okay, I will arrange someone to receive you!"

After watching Parson Fred's back gradually disappear into the distance with a calm expression, "Rudy, you will be responsible for the security of the oil paintings in the future. After Professor Fred comes every day, he is responsible for removing the oil paintings from the storage room. Take it out and put it back in after the day's repairs are done."

"Understood, but your safety?"

"Wendy will recruit more bodyguards for me. Of course, if you have suitable candidates, you can also recommend them." After a pause, Guo Shouyun turned around, "I believe you should understand the conditions for my recruitment!"

Looking at his deep and dignified eyes, Rudy Mueller Chen froze in his heart and said solemnly: "Boss, rest assured, I will strictly check on your security personnel, and those who are not innocent and have no bad deeds will be resolute. No trick."

"As long as you know!"

"How many people do you need...?"

"The more the better!" Guo Shouyun said indifferently.

"Understood!"

Although it is still a little early, Guo Shouyun likes to plan ahead. Assemble a capable and trustworthy Guard before you truly become the super-rich of all people.

He has the opportunity to earn money, but his "life" only comes once!

The core private club in Manhattan, New York, as one of the top private clubs in the United States, can provide all the top services you can imagine. Whether it's yachts, planes, or beautiful women, as long as you are a member here, then everything is OK.

Guo Shouyun came to the core club for the first time. After a brief glance, he was led by the service staff to an elegantly decorated room.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was wearing a dark blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses, Guo Shouyun walked up with a smile.

"Mr. Jamison, nice to meet you!"

While holding Guo Shouyun's right hand, John Jamison not only looked at the famous American writer in front of him. Of course, what really interests him is not just the identity of the other writer, but his power and courage to stir up the situation in the financial circle.

"Mr. Guo's youth is beyond my expectations. When I was your age, I was still fantasizing about tomorrow in college. And Mr. Guo is now the youngest billionaire in the United States!"

"Thank you. It's only by fate that I have achieved what I have now!"

"Is this oriental humility?"

"Humility is a good quality, it belongs to the world!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right!...Please sit down!"

"Please!"

After the two were seated separately, "What does Mr. Guo like to drink?"

"Tea!"

"I love tea too, it keeps my mind clear. And it doesn't taste as strong as coffee!" John Jamison smiled after nodding.

"So I have a common hobby with Mr. Jamison!"

"For the sake of this common hobby, we should communicate more in the future!"

"No problem, I like to make friends! Especially a good friend like Mr. Jamison." Guo Shouyun smiled.

"Me too! Chatting with great people is always a pleasure!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the first time they met, everyone communicated happily. After ordering tea, complimenting each other and chatting a few times, UU reading www.uukanshu.com inevitably got to the point.

Taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, John Jamison glanced at the young man on the opposite side. After thinking for a while, while putting down the teacup, "Mr. Guo, if you don't mind, can I ask a relatively private question?"

"Of course! If there is any problem, Mr. Jamison can speak bluntly!" After Guo Shouyun was slightly startled, he instantly understood that he was about to enter the theme of today's meeting.

John Jamison nodded, "Phoenix has shorted Enron for nearly $3 billion in the past two months, but it has caused quite a stir on Wall Street. Although I don't know much about Enron's specific operations, over the past few years it has The company's operating conditions have been maintained well. The revenue of natural gas distribution business, communications business and energy business in the United States has increased significantly, enabling Enron to achieve $101 billion in revenue this year. Investment institutions and financial magazines around the world are optimistic about the future of Enron's stock. It will rise. Phoenix is ​​the only financial company in the market that has shorted Enron on a large scale. I am curious as to why? Of course, if the secrets of Phoenix are involved, Mr. Guo doesn’t need to answer.”

Looking at the middle-aged man staring at him, Guo Shouyun thought for a while, "Does Mr. Jamison ask this question on behalf of Goldman Sachs, or is it purely out of his own curiosity?"

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course there are differences. If Mr. Jamison represented Goldman Sachs, then I would say 'no comment.' But if you were curious, I would have another answer."

There was a glint in John Jamison's eyes.

"If Mr. Guo is willing to believe it, I want to say that at this moment I only represent myself!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "I believe what Mr. Jamison said."

"Thank you!"
