"Grandma, who cares how much it's worth! Even if it's worth a few million, it's Zhao Zhongnan who paid through the nose for it. I'm just making a borrowed offering to Buddha!"
Lin Feng, of course, knew that "Joy of Water and Birds in Mountains" was valuable, otherwise Zhao Zhongnan wouldn't have been so humble, even offering a million to buy it back. However, to Lin Feng, the painting was worth at most a few million to tens of millions, which was not a significant amount of money for him.
But Elder Ye just smiled faintly and said, "Remember, at the last auction at Xileng Print Society, one of Zhu Da's "Bamboo Stone Mandarin Ducks" was sold for the sky-high price of 1.187 billion. The value of this "Joy of Water and Birds in Mountains" is even higher; conservatively, I'd estimate at least 1.5 billion!"
"What? Just this one painting is worth 1.5 billion?"
