I´ve heard or I heard?
The Don said quietly: " I´ve heard you are a serious man to be treated also with respect." (He said it to a one man during the talk)
Why not I heard ? Because he heard in it the past. Well, it might have a bearing on the present, but I am not altogether clear about it. Still, I would also incline to use the present perfect in this case.
Thank you very much.
