The so-called gold in troubled times, collection in prosperous times.

China in the early 1990s naturally could not be considered a prosperous era, and the value of these antiques was not high.

During the turmoil after the founding of the country, Confucius' tomb, the Bawang Temple, Huo Qubing's tomb, the Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing Temple, Wang Xizhi's tomb, Bao Qingtian's tomb, Hai Rui's tomb, etc. were destroyed.

Can names be connected into the entire brief history of China and an era when even the ancestors do not respect their ancestors, can we still expect them to care more about antiques?

Most of the ones that Mr. Han bought from the United States are national treasure-level fine products, and are very famous abroad. The prices are speculated by foreigners. Their collectors love Chinese fine porcelain and calligraphy and paintings beyond imagination.

So many people smuggled precious cultural relics abroad for sale at a low price. I guess foreigners didn't expect that in the future, Chinese people would be so happy to buy these things back.

In the 1990s, customs were not strictly controlled, and people with collectibles smuggled antiques for money. In recent times, more precious cultural relics flowed abroad were destroyed than in the 1960s and 1970s.

The old man bought many of his collections under this situation. Now Han Xuan has returned to China and found that antiques are cheaper than he thought. How can he not be surprised?

A set of red sandalwood tutor chairs from the Ming Dynasty cost only 16,000 yuan, equivalent to less than 2,000 US dollars!

Two croaking chairs of Huanghuali in the Qing Dynasty, only 9,000 yuan!

The Qing Dynasty red sandalwood inlayed teeth-stained and inserted screen-style seat screen, 31,000 yuan, and the Qing Dynasty red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern throne, 47,000 yuan.

A complete set of Huanghuali wood trouser square stools, plus a Huanghuali wood leg-showing half table, and a Huanghuali wood folding mirror table, which is only more than 70,000 yuan in total.

The most expensive one is a set of red square tables in the Qing Dynasty. It cost more than 90,000 yuan. They are all old people who open the doors, and Guo Muzhou can recognize them.

I didn’t dare to buy other ancient coins, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, miscellaneous ware, etc., and I had to wait for the old man to come or hire an expert to continue to scan the goods.

This is the best time to collect.

Han Xuan went to the bank and offered to buy all the old furniture in the entire Liulichang in one afternoon.

After hearing about this, the old man was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night. He invited six experts from Shanghai Museums overnight. Under their leadership the next morning, he wandered around the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

There is a bank's armored car, which is specifically responsible for paying money. As long as it is a good thing you are willing to sell, you will take it down!

If you can’t take it out, don’t take it. Han Xuan feels that after going to Yanjing for a walk, you will almost build a super luxurious private museum!

Perhaps it would be a good idea to second the antiques of grandpa and grandpa from the Monterey Bay Indian Chiefs Museum at that time.

He followed the two elders for a long time, only knowing that it was a good thing, but he didn't understand at all.

Near noon.

Han Xuan and them separated. When they passed by the Chenghuang Temple, it was already ruined. A large area of ​​land was filled with broken tiles and no one came to clean it up.

On the way, I saw a house that was rented by a woman in Kung Fu in "Kung Fu". I went down to take a look. Unfortunately, there were no woman in the landlady who was holding cigarettes. There were only more than 40 residents. The house belongs to the country and no one collected rent.

I found a resident who was familiar with the Shanghai Stock Exchange to lead the way, and drove through the city to the northeast.

After arriving at the beach, I drove the car on the ferry and headed to Chongming Island. Han Xuan wanted to go to the Snow Mountain University where the old man invested.

The sea water is still very clear now, and dolphins jump out of the water from time to time. The shabby fishing boats are catching fish not far away. The waves brought by the huge ferry splashed on the deck.

The boat was full of people who looked like farmers and workers. They whispered to each other, pointing at the two luxurious Mercedes-Benz and a police car, and their envy was revealed on their faces.

Han Xuan looked at the East China Sea by the ferry. The last ship back to Shanghai market set off at 6 pm. It was almost a little longer and there was not much time left for them.

The distance between Chongming Island and Shanghai Stock Exchange is farther than he imagined. It takes about three hours to pass from Pudong District.

The ferry sailed slowly and finally arrived at Nanmen Port at about two o'clock.

The police took the way to Dongping National Forest Park, and Xueshan University was nearby.

Chongming Island has clean water and clear winds, and there are natural scenery without artificial axes everywhere. The land is flat and fertile. In order to fix this sand island, many trees have been planted.

Walking straight along a dirt road, about ten kilometers away, some castle-style buildings with red walls and dark blue roofs appeared in front of you.

In this winter, there are large areas of artificial green grass around Xueshan University.

The entire campus is built in Western style, with a beautiful wall around it, surrounding this 6,000-acre campus.

After driving around the asphalt road next to the school, I could see the towering bell tower inside.

He spoke to the doorman and entered through the main door of two huge copper lions more than five meters high. There were ten golden words "Snow Mountain University" engraved on the entire piece of marble at the door.

The signature is Han Qi, which looks like a brush calligraphy written by the old man, and there is also an English name in the row below.

Drive in from the spacious stone road, and there are stone sculptures of the twelve zodiac signs on both sides.

The transplanted pine trees have a straight body, and there are large green areas under the tree, with a lot of pine needle leaves falling.

At the end of the road, there is a bronze statue of the old man who is obviously standing on the high platform in the center of the fountain. The base below carved the school motto "Serve the Party and the country and the people."

Han Xuan burst out laughing. This was definitely not what the old man thought, it was just plagiarizing the motto of Princeton University.

Some buildings are not yet completed, and there are more than 80 buildings under construction, distributed on the huge campus, making them a little empty.

This is just a phase of the project, and a lot of open space has been reserved to facilitate further development in the future.

Xueshan University will implement elite education in the future. The dormitory has 120 square meters. In addition to each person's separate room, there is also a living room, bathroom and kitchen, which directly raises the level of university dormitory in China for decades!

Han Xuan was envious of it and even installed an air conditioner and a water heater.

I smiled with satisfaction. With this campus environment, no school can compare with it in another thirty years.

When I saw the list of donors, I found that in addition to the 50 million US dollars of the old man, my grandfather also donated 20 million US dollars, and my grandmother also donated 10 million. I even saw the name of my father, which was also 10 million.

With my father's stingy personality, it is equivalent to digging in his heart.

The extra money for building a school will be used as a scholarship in the future, and subsequent donations will be added to help students who cannot afford to go to school.

Han Xuan was quite satisfied with this school, but he realized that this lonely school had no supporting facilities and the dilapidated Chongming County would definitely not be able to mobilize the students' interest.
Chapter completed!
