Chapter 194 I like this gift.

Pier Thirty-Nine!

A large yacht-style sea fishing boat slowly docked at the pier.

Su Chen walked down from the boat with Raymond, Chen Fei and others, followed by four crew members carrying giant groupers wrapped in ice.

Before leaving the dock, it attracted a lot of people's attention, especially tourists who rented boats to go fishing in the surrounding areas. They gathered around and took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the giant grouper.

Among the tourists, a middle-aged man who looked relatively wealthy and had gold jewelry on his neck and hands walked out of the crowd. Following him came a beautiful young woman who looked like a secretary.

Not only did she have a nice peachy butt, but she was also wearing very refreshing clothes, with only two or three pieces of cloth covering her body, which immediately attracted cheers from many crew members who were standing on the boat and watching.

The young woman did not seem to be shy at all, instead she shook the surging hills a few times, as if to thank everyone for their cheers.

"Handsome guy, are you selling this giant grouper? I'll give you 20,000!" The middle-aged man also saw that Su Chen was the leader and was Chinese, so he asked him directly, but his eyes kept looking at the giant grouper behind from time to time.

Giant grouper, also known as the giant grouper, has very high nutritional value and delicious meat. It is said to have great medicinal value and has a good therapeutic effect on diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Su Chen stopped walking after hearing this. He looked at the middle-aged man with a playful smile on his face and said, "Twenty thousand? Are you talking about US dollars?"

The smile on the middle-aged man's face froze, and he said with a wry smile: "How could it be US dollars? We are all Chinese, of course we are talking about Chinese currency."

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Su Chen looked the middle-aged man up and down, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "This man is not only ugly, but also thinks he is beautiful."

He chuckled and ignored the middle-aged man, walking straight out of the dock.

The middle-aged man did not expect Su Chen to be so disrespectful to him. Even if he didn’t want to sell it to you, he should have told you. Why did he just leave? And what did your last laugh mean?
"You!!!" The middle-aged man was just about to take a step forward to talk to Su Chen when a burly figure blocked his view.

When he looked up, a ferocious face appeared in his sight. He was so scared that he took several steps back and stopped only when he bumped into the big hill of secretary behind him.

When he came to his senses, Su Chen and the others had already gone far away. The middle-aged man spat fiercely on the ground and said, "Be glad that this is in the Bay Area. If it were in China, I would kill you!"

When the onlookers heard this, they all showed contemptuous expressions. They thought that the middle-aged man must have lost his mind. Didn't they see how many bodyguards were following him? If this happened in China, it's hard to say who would be the winner.

On the other side, after Su Chen and his companions left Fisherman's Wharf, they boarded the IPS security convoy that had been waiting for a long time. Raymond also specially arranged for a refrigerated truck to come over to ensure the freshness of the giant grouper.

It is worth mentioning that the giant grouper caught by Su Chen weighed 222 kilograms!
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the villa. Su Chen and others, who were already starving, saw delicious food prepared on the table as soon as they walked into the house.

It is not the local specialty food of the Bay Area, but authentic Cantonese cuisine. It is made by a Cantonese chef specially found by the housekeeper Jiang Hui. The level is almost the same as those of the two- and three-star Michelin Cantonese chefs in China.

Some of the dishes were even better, which shocked Jiang Hui a little at the time. He just found a famous Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown, but he didn't expect that there were hidden chefs in the market.

"Let's sit down and eat together!" Su Chen also knew that Chen Fei, Raymond and others were also very hungry, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down and eat together.

As soon as he finished speaking, two people sat on the stools.

The first one was of course Chen Fei. After all, as the oldest person who had been with Su Chen the longest, he naturally knew that Su Chen did not have the airs of a big boss. Without any hesitation, he pulled out a stool and sat down.

As for the other one, it was Raymond. He didn’t think so much. Wouldn’t he listen to the boss’ order?

Only Wang Gang and others were standing aside, at a loss.

After all, Fade Chen was an experienced person, and he knew that they were just like him back then. He quickly reached out and pulled Wang Gang's sleeve and said, "Sit down, all gentlemen are like this."

Upon hearing this, Wang Gang looked at Su Chen who was sitting in the main seat. He was eating with his bowl in hand and had no time to look at them.

Seeing this, Wang Gang and the other two also sat down and started eating.

After the game with the giant grouper, Su Chen felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion. Fortunately, there were some food prepared on the boat, so he just had a few bites.

At this moment, Su Chen felt that his stomach could eat a whole beef, and the chopsticks in his hand never stopped eating.

After eating three big bowls of rice, he put down his bowl and chopsticks reluctantly, and burped to show that he was full.

He looked at Jiang Hui who was standing aside and said, "I'll go back to my room to rest for a while. When someone arrives, come to my room and call me."

After saying that, Su Chen glanced at Raymond and others who were still eating, then walked towards the elevator with his hands on his waist.

Su Chen was exhausted today, so he went back to his room to take a shower and have a good rest while there was still some time.

When Su Chen walked into the elevator, Raymond and others who were eating seemed to have unloaded their burdens. They felt a lot more relaxed and ate much faster.

Two fifty in the afternoon!

The familiar luxury convoy slowly drove up from the foot of the mountain.

The security personnel who received the instructions immediately reported to their superiors. Jiang Hui received the news soon. After giving Raymond and Chen Fei some instructions on what to pay attention to during the reception, he walked towards Su Chen's room upstairs.

Raymond and Chen Fei also became busy. After all, whoever failed to deliver would bring shame to their boss.

Soon the luxury convoy stopped at the gate of the villa, and Arthur got out of the Rolls-Royce, not forgetting to tidy up his clothes.

Raymond, who was standing at the door welcoming guests, saw the man getting off the car and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Huh? I didn't expect that the person who came was the third young master of the Morgan family."

"The third young master of the Morgan family? Raymond, do you know this guy?" Chen Fei, who was standing aside, whispered when he heard this.

"Well, you also know what we at IPS are engaged in. We also had some business dealings with the Morgan family before." Raymond explained briefly. After all, there were some things in it that Chen Fei could not know.

Of course, if Su Chen asked, Raymond would definitely explain it in detail.

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of Arthur Morgan who got out of the car. He never expected that the head of IPS, one of the top ten security companies in the world, would stand at the door to welcome guests.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Arthur!" Raymond walked up and greeted him.

"Mr. Raymond, long time no see. I didn't expect that we would meet here again." Arthur had a smile on his face and spoke in a particularly light-hearted manner, giving people the feeling of a gentle breeze blowing on their faces.

There is no airs at all, and the first impression given is particularly comfortable.

After a few simple greetings, Raymond raised his right hand and gestured for invitation, saying, "Please come in, Mr. Arthur."

Arthur smiled and nodded, then walked towards the villa. As soon as he entered, he saw a young and handsome man walking out of the elevator, followed by Jiang Hui, the butler whom he had met in the morning.

In an instant Arthur knew that this young man was today's protagonist, Su Chen. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still a little shocked when he saw Su Chen in person.

Young, really too young. The information previously investigated did not include Su Chen's age. In Arthur's mind, he always thought that Su Chen was a middle-aged man about his age, who inherited the family business.

But when he saw Su Chen's young appearance, Arthur knew that some of his previous thoughts were a bit hasty. It seemed that Mr. Su's background was greater than he thought.

Even Arthur, who was as steady as an old dog, felt some waves in his heart.

Su Chen also saw Arthur's figure, and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Hello~ I am Su Chen!" Su Chen introduced himself first, and of course he did not forget to extend his right hand.

After shaking Su Chen's hand, Arthur introduced himself: "Hello, Arthur Morgan!" After a brief acquaintance, Su Chen invited Arthur to walk to the backyard, which had already been decorated at this time.

Various snacks and steaming tea were already placed on the table.

Su Chen and Arthur took their seats respectively, while Raymond, Fade Chen, Fulei and others stood respectfully beside them.

"This is the tea I brought from China. Try it and see how it tastes!" Su Chen pushed a cup of tea that was seven-tenths full in front of Arthur and made a gesture of invitation with his left hand.

Arthur didn't hesitate to pick up the teacup and took a smell. The moment the fragrance entered his nose, his pupils shrank a lot.

A family like the Morgans had tasted and drunk all kinds of top-notch luxury goods, which was why Arthur was surprised.

You know, tea is one of the most widely spread drinks in the world. Even top families like the Morgan family have many people who like it, and Arthur is no exception.

He could be said to have tasted many kinds of tea, but basically none of them could compare with the cup of tea in his hand, which made him feel surprised.

And the tea that his Morgan family can’t buy?
For a moment, Arthur's attention was all on the teacup in his hand. He took a sip from time to time and savored it carefully.

Seeing this, Su Chen did not say anything to interrupt him and just continued drinking.

It took a long time for Arthur to come back to his senses. He looked at Su Chen and asked curiously, "This tea tastes really good. Mr. Su, what kind of tea is this?"

"Hahaha~ This is the tea given by an elder. It's only a few ounces a year." Su Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Arthur realized that this tea was priceless and he couldn't buy it even if he wanted to.

Although he felt a little regretful, he was not the kind of person who particularly loved tea and did not have too much obsession.

He put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at the beautiful secretary, Fulei, beside him.
The next moment, Frey carefully placed the exquisite bag she had been holding on the table.

"Mr. Su, it's our first meeting. This is a small gift for you. I hope you like it!" Arthur took out two exquisite boxes from the bag and pushed them in front of Su Chen.

Su Chen was also stunned for a moment. He never thought that Arthur would actually prepare a gift for him. It was really surprising.

"Do you mind if I open it and take a look now?" Su Chen said with a smile. He was also curious about what Arthur would give him as a gift.

Arthur nodded when he heard this and signaled Su Chen to do as he pleased.

Seeing this, Su Chen took the two exquisite gift boxes and looked at them carefully. The boxes were rectangular and about two or three centimeters high. They didn't look like boxes that could hold large items.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen still couldn't guess what was inside, so he moved his fingers lightly and opened the buckle on the box.

As soon as the box was opened, Su Chen saw a slightly torn silk-like thing inside, with a lot of words written on it.

As soon as Su Chen saw it, he could tell that the text was full of oriental charm, but he was a little unsure at the time, after all, he didn't know much about this aspect.

Just when Su Chen was puzzled, a voice called out beside him, "Chu Silk Book?!"

The person who spoke was none other than Su Chen's housekeeper Jiang Hui.

Su Chen looked at Jiang Hui, pointed at the two boxes in front of him and asked, "Old Jiang, do you know this thing?"

Jiang Hui glanced at Arthur in a very obscure way, then nodded at Su Chen.

Jiang Hui is not making this up. A top-level butler who specializes in serving wealthy families not only needs to learn service-related knowledge, but also needs to be proficient in antiques, literature, musical instruments and other aspects.

"The story behind this thing is a bit complicated. I'll tell you in detail later, sir." Jiang Hui said with a nod.

Su Chen didn't care. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Hui to put the two boxes away, Arthur, who was sitting opposite him, spoke.

"Mr. Su, I am also very curious about this thing. I wonder if I could trouble your butler to tell me the story behind it."

The idea of ​​these two boxes was also something he came up with on a whim. Since he was meeting Su Chen for the first time, he had to give him a gift, so he arranged for his secretary Frey to find some Chinese cultural relics as a gift.

This was a very simple task for the Morgan family. They found several items in just two hours. They were either bronze artifacts or various types of porcelain. They were all very large and inconvenient to carry.

Only the Chu Silk Book was the most convenient to carry, so Arthur immediately decided to take it as a gift.

He also heard the implication of Jiang Hui's words just now, that there seemed to be something interesting in this Chu Silk Book.

"Uh~" Jiang Hui could only look at Su Chen for help. He didn't want to talk about the Chu Silk Book at all, for fear that if he told it, the originally harmonious scene would become disharmonious.

Su Chen did not notice the change in Jiang Hui's expression. Instead, he smiled and said, "Old Jiang, just tell me. I am curious too."

Since his boss had spoken, Jiang Hui could only nod helplessly.

"Silk books are one of the important sources of Chinese scholarship, and these two silk books are from the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There are three volumes in total, recording ancient mythology, mathematics and many other contents."

"It was unearthed in Changsha in 1942. After several twists and turns, it was bought by the local wealthy businessman Cai Jixiang. By chance, he met a Bald Eagle man. At that time, the Bald Eagle man took two of the scrolls to Bald Eagle under the guise of taking photos without Cai Jixiang's permission."

"These two national treasures have been wandering abroad for more than 70 years!" Jiang Hui's voice became louder and louder, and there was a sense of resentment in his voice at the end.

I don't know whether it is talking about the incompetence of the predecessors or the shamelessness of the person who took the silk book to the bald eagle.

The scene became quiet for a moment.

Su Chen did not expect that there was such a bizarre and tortuous story here, but with these two things in his hands, it meant that he could return home safely.

He calmly closed the two boxes with his left hand and glanced at Jiang Hui, signaling him to put them away quickly.

Jiang Hui also came back to his senses from his previous anger. Seeing Su Chen's signal, he took the two boxes into the house without any delay.

"Mr. Arthur, I really like the gift you mentioned. Thank you for your effort!" Su Chen did not talk about what happened to you bald eagles decades ago. Instead, he expressed his gratitude.

Because Su Chen also knew that the loss of the Chu Silk Book had nothing to do with Arthur. On the contrary, it was because of him that these two treasures could be brought back to the country, which was also a good thing.

"Hahaha~ As long as Mr. Su likes it!" Arthur did not expect that this gift contained such a story. Seeing that Su Chen did not mention it, he was also tactful and did not continue the topic.

After chatting for a while, Arthur saw that the time was almost up and prepared to get to the topic of his trip.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiang Hui trotting out of the house to Su Chen's side, bowing and saying respectfully: "Sir, the people from the Black Rock Foundation are here."

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh that it was better to come at the right time than to come early for the Black Rock Foundation. Su Chen also knew that Arthur was preparing to discuss the acquisition of Longteng Technology, but he didn't expect that the Black Rock Foundation would also come.

This is getting interesting. I wonder what kind of sparks will be created between Black Rock Foundation and Morgan.

Su Chen glanced at Arthur and found that Arthur was very calm, holding the teacup and sipping tea quietly.

"Lao Jiang, go and bring in the people from the Black Rock Foundation. By the way, call Mark, the person in charge of Longteng Technology, and ask him to come over."

Jiang Hui turned around and walked outside without any delay.
