Chapter 2442 Please make a price at will

"LONG, I see you are holding two books, it seems that I only promised to give you one." As soon as I picked up the coffee, John Whitney looked at Chen Kangjie and said with a smile.

"Dad, since LONG likes it, you can give it to him." Before Chen Kangjie could speak, Whitney acted coquettishly and helped Chen Kangjie.

John Whitney kept smiling, looked at his baby daughter, and did not respond, but continued to look at Chen Kangjie.

It seems that my daughter doesn't count.

"Mr. Whitney, yes, you did only promise to give it to me. However, these two books are in the same set. They are not separated, but connected. They belong together. They belong to part of our country's masterpiece "Yongle Encyclopedia" six hundred years ago. This is "Chasing the Prince", 10270 volumes, this is "Chief Prince" and 10271 volumes. From this order, you should be able to hear that they are quickly connected one after another. From this perspective, they cannot be considered two, but should be considered one together. It's just that in physical space, they are distributed in my hands. Just like your wife and your daughter sit on both sides of you, but you are a family and a complete family. Therefore, in my opinion, I did not violate your promise." Chen Kangjie is first-class in his eloquence and debate ability. He found a response without thinking much.

"Haha, haha, LONG, you are really worthy of being extremely talented. Even you have used our family as an example. It is difficult for me to agree not to agree. Since you say they are one and important documents belonging to your country, I will give them to you. Anyway, no one in our family can understand them." After John Whitney laughed loudly, he agreed to give two important documents, "Teaching the Prince" and "Chief Wen", to Chen Kangjie.

"Thank you, thank you very much. To be honest, I came to the United States this time and say something that may be in polite. The two books you gave are better than the phonograph trophy I received from the Grammy. They are extremely precious. I sincerely thank Mr. Whitney."

Chen Kangjie's words were just a lack of politeness to Oscars. On the other hand, the meaning of the Whitneys is a different matter.

"LONG, you are polite, we want to thank you for your care for Jennifer," Whitney's mother said from the side.

Jennifer Whitney is Whitney's full name, so his mother calls her Jennifer.

"Yes, LONG, we really want to thank you, especially everything you did during her illness and hospitalization. We only found out afterwards that she was infected with the SARS virus in China. Now, thinking about it now, I am still a little scared. To be honest, we strongly opposed him when he was going to China." John Whitney said.

"I can understand that you are a big family. From your private hiding, you can know that you have countless wealth, and China is still far behind the United States at present. You oppose him going to China, especially being a small assistant. It is completely human nature. If I were me, I might also object. As for her illness, it is completely what I should do. She is working for me, and of course I have the responsibility and obligation to take care of her. There is no need for you to thank me for this, it is all about it." Chen Kangjie said seriously.

Each of the collections of Whitney’s house is valuable, and it is definitely not something that ordinary rich people can afford. Putting aside the price and value of the collection itself, just to maintain such a large private museum, control the temperature, humidity and lighting inside, and even some artworks still need to be repaired, which is already a huge amount.

"No, we oppose her going to China, not because China is behind, but because she is going to work for you."

John Whitney's words surprised Chen Kangjie. What's wrong with working for yourself? Is it embarrassing to work for yourself? What's so great about children from American families? Find out, we are also a wealthy family now, and you Whitney family should be no problem.

"Well...Mr. Whitney, I wonder why you are against it..." Chen Kangjie asked with a calm face.

"LONG, don't listen to my dad, they're not because of this at all." Whitney jumped out first, "Dad, do you know what you are saying? How can you say this in front of LONG? I'll be very angry when you do this."

Whitney was anxious and frowned and angrily criticized his father.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, if you don't like it, then let's not talk about this, Jennifer, go and make a little snack for LONG. Dinner has been so long, and LONG may not be hungry." John Whitney continued to smile on his face.

"I won't go, just let the servants send it." Whitney said dissatisfiedly, pouting.

"LONG is a distinguished guest and your boss. Do you think the servant should be asked to do it for him? You don't plan to show it yourself?" John Whitney continued to persuade and induce with a smile.

"Yes, Jennifer, let's go with you. Remember you are very good at hand-held tiramisu and cherry pie. Why don't we make some to give LONG a try?" Whitney's mother stood up and said.

Chen Kangjie saw it, like John Whitney seemed to have something to say to him, but he didn't want Whitney to be present. And Whitney also saw the clues, so he was unwilling to leave.

What did John Whitney say to himself? Logically, there was no intersection between them before this, so there shouldn't be anything to talk about in private. But the current state and posture are just like that.

"LONG, are you really hungry?" Whitney was still a little unwilling to give up, so he asked Chen Kangjie.

Whitney hoped that Chen Kangjie would not be hungry, but Chen Kangjie was curious about what John Whitney would talk to him, so he replied: "I'm really a little hungry. If tiramisu and cherry pie are really your best skills, then I'm really interested in trying it."

"Then...well, wait a moment, and I'll be ready to send it here soon."

So Whitney and her mother left the outdoor glass house near the beach.

Outside this glass house is a large green grassland and a flower belt, and there are also many precious plants planted in the glass house. Sitting here can maintain a certain amount of contact with nature without worrying about strong wind or rain. There is a long corridor connecting this glass house and the main building to facilitate the passage between the two.

"Mr. Whitney, do you have something to say to me? You just said that you objected to Whitney's trip to China and did not want him to work for me. What is the reason?" After Whitney and his mother left, Chen Kangjie asked curiously.

"Actually, it's nothing. We don't object to her traveling around the world. It will be very helpful for him to grow his knowledge and become mature. Whether it is Africa or South America, she is interested in going there, and we support it. We don't want her to work for you, because we think it may not be beneficial to her future life." John Whitney did not say it explicitly, but just pointed out a little meaning.

"A few days ago, I was interviewed by CBS's "60 Minutes", and we talked about discrimination. Mr. Whitney, can you also have a tendency to discriminate?" Chen Kangjie responded sharply.

"Oh, no, in my eyes, all the people are equal. Sometimes I may not like some people very much, but I don't look at them from the perspective of skin color or race. You may have misunderstood what I mean." Maybe I think the atmosphere of this conversation is a bit bad. John Whitney shifted the topic to the art collection that Chen Kangjie is interested in, "LONG, you just visited it. Are there only these two books that you like?"

"Of course not. I like a lot of things there very much, but if you promise to give me one item, I will only get one. Of course, if Mr. Whitney is willing to sell it, I would rather buy some back as my personal collection."

"LONG, do you also have a hobby and interest in art collection? Do you also have your own private museum?" John Whitney asked with wide eyes.

"No, I haven't, but after visiting your private collection, my interest was raised, so I also had the idea of ​​building a private collection museum of my own. Mr. Whitney, are you willing to give up some of it? Don't worry, I'm not interested in Western collections at present, I'm interested in the part of China." In order to increase the possibility of success, Chen Kangjie narrowed the scope.

"LONG, you should see that I am not short of money. I spent decades to collect these things on my father's basis, and I never thought about selling them to make money. Besides, even if I want to sell them... it will be a very, very high price. You must know that I personally spent billions of dollars to collect these things." John Whitney didn't want to sell them, but he was a little worried that Chen Kangjie could not afford the price, so he didn't sell them.

"Mr. Whitney, I know that those things are expensive. If, I mean, if, you are willing to sell the artworks and cultural relics about China, I am willing to accept your offer. In order to respect you, if you say the price, I will never bargain." Whether it succeeds or not, a dead horse will be a living horse.

If John Whitney was merciful and willing to sell the artworks he didn't understand to Chen Kangjie, it would be a good thing that fell from the sky. No matter how much money he spent, Chen Kangjie would not feel at a loss.

Those things are priced at the auction market, but for a country and a nation, it is completely priceless. The cultural context of a nation and the spiritual carrying of a country cannot be exchanged for no amount of money.

Chen Kangjie's heroic tone surprised John Whitney a little.

He has never encountered such a way of making a transaction in the past few decades.

In the eyes of John Whitney, how much money can a star earn? Perhaps to ordinary people, they are rich, but in the eyes of big families, they are not much different from ordinary people.
