Without wasting any time, Charlie promptly forwarded the photo to Hogan through WeChat, accompanying it with a recorded message, "Uncle Hogan, can you identify the individual standing next to my father?"
Hogan's response was swift, a voice message crackling back, "Young Master, I've met the man in the picture before. His English name is Peter Cole. Though I can't claim great familiarity with him, I know he's a Chinese antique dealer with close ties to your father."
As soon as Charlie learned that Hogan was acquainted with the man, he wasted no time in dialing him up. As the call connected, he inquired with urgency, "Uncle Hogan, could you furnish me with a detailed introduction of this Peter Cole?"
Hogan obliged, "Peter Cole hails from a family entrenched in the overseas antique trade, primarily centered in Europe and the United States. Aside from the US, they have a presence in the UK and France. They've garnered some renown in the European and American antique circles."
He appended, "The photo you sent is of Peter Cole's emporium in New York. It's said to be the first establishment the Cole family set up, so it's rather modest and unassuming."
