Chapter 649: Reading Paintings in the Study Room (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Ning Zhiheng's expression was sincere and his eyes were full of admiration. He obviously regarded Hiromoto Fujiwara as his long-lost relative.

Hiromoto Fujiwara couldn't help but be moved. He sighed and said in a harmonious voice: "It's hard for you. You left your hometown at such a young age and came to this overseas place. But I see that you have a calm temperament and look much older than you."

Hiromofumi Fujiwara is also an old politician who has seen countless people. He has a very accurate view of people. Ning Zhiheng looks gentle and elegant, without showing his sharpness, but his temperament is very outstanding, making it difficult for people to ignore his existence. This is not something that ordinary people can have.

Ning Zhiheng faced Fujiwara Hiromoto's scrutiny and calmly, then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly turned around and took the three long scroll boxes and placed them in front of Fujiwara Hiromoto.

Then he spoke, "I heard from Uncle Yuan that you are a master of painting, so I specially prepared a few small gifts for you, all of which are Zhiren's wishes. Please accept them with a smile!"

It is not a secret that Hirofumi Fujiwara likes painting. In Japan, many people also like their preferences and offer many famous paintings. So when he heard Ning Zhiheng's words, Hirofumi Fujiwara didn't care.

He smiled and took the art box and was about to put it aside when he heard Ning Zhiheng continue: "I don't know if these things fit your wishes. Take a look at whether I was deceived by these Chinese people!"

Hirobu Fujiwara originally wanted to put down the painting box, but when he heard Ning Zhiheng's words, he was also intrigued and nodded and smiled: "Then let's take a look at what treasures you have collected!"

Hirofumi Fujiwara himself is also an expert in painting and a collection of famous paintings. His appreciation level is also very high.

He opened the painting box and took out a long scroll scroll. Ning Zhiheng stepped forward and held the scroll. Fujiwara Hiroki looked back and gently unfolded the scroll. His eyes were immediately attracted tightly and could no longer leave it.

His eyes slowly moved on the scroll, and the room was silent. It was not until a long time later that Hirofumi Fujiwara sighed softly: "The original work is the original work, the original work of Zhou Fang, a famous Chinese painter in the Tang Dynasty, "Picture of the Prestige of the Prestige of the Prestige", and this is also his work from his peak, so I can't imagine it!"

Speaking of this, Fujiwara Hiromoto shook his head and admired him repeatedly. He did not expect that there was such a precious treasure in the scroll given by Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng quickly asked in a fun way: "Uncle, how is this painting like? I don't know much about painting. I only know that the most expensive one must be the best, so I bought it!"

Hiromoto Fujiwara turned his head to look at Ning Zhiheng, and couldn't help laughing, pointing at him and joking, "You are lucky. The person who sells paintings did not lie to you. This is the pinnacle of Chinese ladies' pictures, especially Zhou Fang's pictures of ladies. They are very casual, plump in appearance, gorgeous clothes, simple in brushwork, soft in color, and outstanding in a moment!"

After saying that, he kept admiring, and could not take back his eyes from the painting, and obviously he loved it very much.

Ning Zhiheng has accurate eyesight. He received this ancient painting at a cost in an antique shop. Naturally, he knew that the painting was precious. He knew that Hiromofumi Fujiwara must have a good vision. In order to impress Hiromofumi Fujiwara, he chose three best ancient paintings in his collection, and it turned out to be effective immediately!

"Uncle, look at these two paintings again." Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's take a look!"

Hirofumi Fujiwara was suddenly picked up by this picture of Zhou Fang's noble girl. He picked up another painting box, and when he took out the scroll, he opened it, he was shocked again.

This is the "Picture of Plum Blossoms in the Winter Snow" by Wang Mian, a plum blossom master in the Yuan Dynasty. The whole painting has dense branches, full of business, vigorous and powerful, and is another masterpiece.

"Okay, okay, very good!" Fujiwara Hiromoto couldn't help but shout three times. This time, he didn't need Ning Zhiheng to remind him, put down the painting and immediately picked up the third scroll.

This time he did not disappoint. This third painting was a masterpiece of landscape "Pull the Mountains" by Shen Zhou, a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty.

Hirofumi Fujiwara couldn't help but admire him repeatedly. He placed the three paintings on the desk, observed them carefully, and moved his fingers gently on the picture, and said with emotion: "I have such a good luck today. I just came to China and have such gains. China's thousands of years of historical heritage is indeed extraordinary. Zhiren, these three paintings make me very satisfied. It can be seen that you have spent a lot of effort and thank you for your hard work!"

When Ning Zhiheng saw everything as he expected, he also smiled and said, "You are too rewarding. It would be great to be able to satisfy my uncle!"

Hirofumi Fujiwara knew that these three paintings were definitely valuable. It can be seen that this junior spent a lot of effort to get these fine works.

He looked at Ning Zhiheng and said with a smile: "Zhiren, I will stay in Shanghai for a while this time. If you have free time, accompany me to visit this Far East metropolis. How about it?"

Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed and showed surprise. He nodded quickly and said, "Uncle, I have always been free and can be your guide at any time. By the way, you like painting. I know there are several famous Chinese painters in Shanghai. They usually gather at Mulan Society Academy. I am also a member of the Society Academy. If you agree, I can summon these painters and everyone can discuss and communicate together. What do you think?"

The powerful and nobles of all generations like to be artful, and Hiromoto Fujiwara was no exception. He said happily when he heard this: "It's great. We'll go and take a look together in a few days. I didn't expect that there was such a strong literary atmosphere here in Shanghai. It's great!"

The two of them had a great time and even forgot about time. It was not until Fujiwara Hirobuki was indeed tired that Ning Zhiheng then dismissed.

At this time, Junhei Uehara has been waiting for Ning Zhiheng to come out in the living room. When he saw Ning Zhiheng staying in the study for so long, he knew that everything was going well. His eunuch performed very well and successfully won the attention of Hirofumi Fujiwara, and he was also very happy.

The two left Hirofumi Fujiwara's mansion and sat side by side in the back seat of the car. Junipai Uehara spoke and asked, "What does Mr. Fujiwara feel about you during today's meeting?"

Ning Zhiheng nodded and smiled, "Uncle, don't worry, the adults are very satisfied with the gifts I prepared. They talked with me for a long time and said that I would accompany him to visit the big city of Shanghai during this period. I will perform well during this period and strive to get his recognition!"

Junhei Uehara felt very satisfied. Today, he spent a lot of effort and thought. To wait for this result, he said happily: "Tsugen, you did a very good job. If you can get the support of Mr. Fujiwara this time, you can let go of your hands and feet in the future and don't worry about anyone's restraint!"

Junhei Uehara's words are very clear. He is the largest spy leader in central China. With his intelligence capabilities, how could he not know what business Ning Zhiheng is doing now?

Besides, Fujiwara Tomohito is the person behind the smuggling market. It is almost a semi-public secret in Shanghai. Junhei Uehara had heard of it as early as Nanjing. Now, saying this almost obeys Ning Zhiheng's behavior.

In fact, the top Japanese military leaders did not care much about the business of smuggling and controlled items, and even some people engaged in these things within the army. The occupied areas in central China are still hidden. In the Tianjin area of ​​North China, the Japanese North China Front Army directly used smuggling to abdicate foreign exchange, used the military tickets they issued and the fiat currency in the hands of smugglers to do business, half-grabbed and sold land, forcibly purchased private materials and fiat currencies, and then used fiat currency to use major banks to make foreign exchange, plundered the wealth of the people, and used war to support the war, and the smuggling business was blatant.

Most of the smuggled controlled goods flowed into the Kuomintang-controlled areas in central China. For this reason, the Japanese Central China Front Army was very dissatisfied and fought many lawsuits with the North China Front Army. But in the end, because it was not the same system, no one could do anything to anyone, so they had to leave it alone.

Therefore, Junping Uehara was not interested in Ning Zhiheng's smuggling business. Moreover, he believed that Ning Zhiheng's smuggling behavior was limited to Shanghai and did not pose a threat to the interests of the Japanese empire at all. It was just a monopoly act of the market.

Ning Zhiheng received the tacit approval of Uehara Chunping and felt very calm. He knew what he should do. At least the interests of Uehara Chunping must be guaranteed. As the great backer he relies most, Ning Zhiheng was willing to pay a big price.

"Uncle, in central China, Chiren still needs to use your protection to hide from the wind and rain. As for Lord Fujiwara, it is of course good to be able to get his recognition. If not, there is nothing!"

Ning Zhiheng obviously knew who he should really rely on. Hirobu Fujiwara was just the icing on the cake, and Junhei Uehara was close at hand.

"Short-sighted!" Junping Uehara's face darkened. He stared at Ning Zhiheng, and his tone became solemn. "Zhiren, you have been lonely since childhood and have a deep desire for money. I can understand that you have a different position now, and your perspective on the problem should be deeper. For us, money is just a tool to achieve our goal. Don't be addicted to it. Only power is the goal we really pursue. Are you planning to be a businessman for the rest of your life?"

"What is uncle's meaning?"

"The Fujiwara family is a thousand-year-old nobleman. As a Fujiwara family, you have advantages that others do not have. If you can gain certain political resources, you may not have the chance to make a name for yourself. After all, no matter how big a businessman is, he is just a businessman and has no future!"

People like Junhei Uehara who holds great power look down on businessmen from the bottom of their hearts because they know that without power, everything is false, and he has higher expectations for Ning Zhiheng.
