Chapter 83 Taoism follows nature

When Li Moyang came to the door of the villa, he realized that he had misunderstood. This was not a villa community with piles of villas gathered together, but an independent villa.

Damn it, you tycoon! Down with the tycoon!

The villa covers an area of ​​several hundred acres, with a hill behind it. The haze here is very thin and smells of negative oxygen ions. It is a good place to recuperate. Li Moyang has a new understanding of Du Baogang's financial resources.

.

A man in his fifties walked over from afar and said with a smile: "Master Li is here!"

It was Du Baogang. This guy had black cloth shoes and a cotton Chinese-style double-breasted jacket. He looked old-fashioned and low-key.

"How can I dare to talk about your grand arrival? I'm really ashamed to come out to greet you."

"Haha, where are you? I like to make friends, and everyone who comes here is a guest. If you come all the way from the seaside to see me, how can I not welcome you?" Du Baogang's words were cordial and approachable, and Li Moyang was very friendly to him.

Feeling good suddenly.

Du Baogang, male, 54 years old, born in Qilu, is now a British-Chinese and a famous investor. In the 1980s, he went south to do business and made his first pot of gold. Later, he went abroad to South Africa to engage in gold mining and made a lot of money.

Bo Man, accumulated a huge amount of money, changed his nationality, and became a British citizen.

He is a low-key person. He likes to wear coarse Chinese-style clothes on weekdays. His trousers are also popular goods and his shoes are not particular. There is no trace of him being a super rich man. It is said that he has a very good relationship with high-level domestic bosses. In recent years, he has turned to domestic investment and has become a major player in various industries.

Guests from important cities in large provinces.

Du Baogang's biggest hobby in his life is collecting cultural relics. He recovered many cultural relics from abroad that were resold abroad after the Eight-Nation Allied Forces period, and handed them over to the country at low prices or free of charge. Therefore, he has good relations with many departments and is a very comfortable person in the officialdom and business circles.

of investors.

The villa is a three-story villa, plus a warehouse. The rest of the place is covered with steel wire fences, more than two meters high. There are several fierce dogs to guard the house and the courtyard. There are only five or six people in the entire villa plus servants. Li Moyang thought to himself, you can always

I really dare to live there.

"Haha, look at this pond. There are a lot of freshwater fish stocked there. Come fishing if you have nothing to do. You can catch them and cook them directly. It's very fun. There is also a small pasture there with a lot of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and sika deer. You can hunt them. How about that?

?Not bad. Are you interested in taking a shot?"

Du Baogang suggested, and Li Moyang readily agreed. If you want to get to know Du Baogang, you must show off your unique skills, otherwise people will look down on you at all. Hehe, shooting happens to be his specialty, so you're welcome.

Du Baogang handed Li Moyang a shotgun. It was a good gun. The top-notch Beretta was completely handmade, with fine carvings throughout. The price was worth US$100,000. It was really awesome.

Li Moyang saw a sika deer grazing in the fence. He didn't look panicked at all. He thought for two seconds and didn't hit him. He picked up a stone and threw it out, which frightened a few pheasants. Li Moyang raised his hand to take aim without even taking a look.

, three shots, the pheasant flying in the air fell to the ground, and the servant hurriedly went in to pick it out.

Du Baogang was stunned. His marksmanship was honed one by one with bullets. He was trained in South Africa with large African wild animals. He claimed to be a shooting master, but when Li Moyang shot with one move, Du Baogang just

We know that there is heaven and earth, and there is something called talent.

"Why not hunt sika deer?"

"Haha, things that have been raised in captivity have long lost their wildness. It doesn't matter if you don't fight them. Besides, this sika deer is much more expensive than the pheasant. I'm afraid you will feel sorry for it, haha."

"What a good boy, you have personality, I admire you very much!"

After Du Baogang said these words, Li Moyang felt confident, and he gradually fell into Du Baogang's eyes.

Du Baogang briefly introduced the villa and led Li Moyang into the warehouse.

The warehouse is more than 200 square meters, with constant temperature and humidity. This set of equipment alone costs several million. With such protection, the things inside are probably treasures, Li Moyang thought to himself.

As expected, there are good things in the warehouse. There are a large number of blue bricks, Han tiles, wood carving screens and other things neatly stacked everywhere. Those screen doors have simple shapes and exquisite carvings.

However, these things did not look valuable. They were at best belonging to wealthy families in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Li Moyang glanced at Du Baogang suspiciously.

"Haha, does Mr. Li still have research on these aspects?" Du Baogang became more interested. This young man is not simple.

"Understand a little!" Li Moyang was not modest either.

"I'm optimistic about you. Just tell me. If you say something wrong, it's okay. It's just communication."

"Okay, then I'll show my shame."

Li Moyang touched a piece of brick carving, carefully inspected the pattern on it, and exclaimed: "Hui style brick carving is probably a product of the late Qing Dynasty, and should come from a wealthy family in Anhui. This thing is an unreplicable work of art. Is it valuable at present?"

Underestimating, the prospects are promising, it’s worthless if you don’t collect enough, but you have so many here, the future value is immeasurable! Haha, you’re making a fool of yourself.”

"Okay, that's pretty much what I mean. I collected these in Anhui. It didn't cost much. The people don't have this awareness yet. They don't know how to cherish these things in their hands, and the damage is quite serious. I paid for them.

Come and find experts to classify and repair them. I will donate the higher-value ones to the country and keep the ordinary ones for myself to play with. Mr. Li actually conducts research in this area, which is really impressive!"

"Haha, I don't have actual experience in treasure appraisal. I just read a few more books." Li Moyang did get this knowledge from reading books. His photographic memory cannot be wasted. Li Moyang usually likes to read a lot of books when he has nothing to do. His brain

It can be said to be a small library.

"There are not many young people who can sit down and read quietly now. Mr. Li, you are indeed different." Du Baogang admired Li Moyang very much.

"Haha, you're always over the top. I'm not a kid from a rich family, so please don't call me Mr. Li. I feel panicked. You might as well call me Xiao Li. Xiao Lizi is fine, haha."

"Okay, I also have a request. Don't always call me old because you are yours. In this way, we are fellow Qilu fellows, and I am older than you. You can call me Brother Du, and I can call you Li.

How are you, bro?"

Du Baogang proposed, Li Moyang was stunned for a second, and readily agreed: "Hello, Brother Du!"

"Hello, brother Li."

Du Baogang rubbed his hands and was very excited. He heard the magpies chirping early this morning. It turned out that something good happened. He had gained an extraordinary little brother.

"Hey, brother, I have a little brother, do you want to give me some gifts?"

"That's a must! Just watch it and take it as you please!"

"Then you're welcome." Li Moyang didn't hesitate and wandered around the warehouse.

A large bed caught his eye. The bed was too big, and five people could lie on it. The wood used for the bed was ordinary ash, but judging from the carving craftsmanship, it was still very particular, and

It has age.

"That's it." Li Moyang pointed to the big bed.

"I'll give it to you if you like it, but this was used by a heavy smoker in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. If you don't mind it, just use it."

"That's right. No wonder it looks familiar. If it's expensive, forget it. I'll have to choose. Besides, it's so big. How can I transport it back?"

"As long as you like it, transportation is not a problem. Leave your address later and I will ship it to Binhai for you."

Du Baogang is very generous. This bed is still relatively valuable, but good things must be shared. If they are kept in a warehouse, they can only be cultural relics. Only when they are used can the value of the items be reflected.

It seems that I am going to buy a big house. This bed cannot fit into a bedroom of forty square meters. Then I will gather a bunch of harem beauties and put them on the bed...hehe.

Du Baogang took Li Moyang around for a long time. Li Moyang could tell a thing or two about some objects, which made Du Baogang very happy. To be honest, at his age, money is no longer a problem, nor is life. Only hobbies are his greatest

The prerequisite for the joy of life is that Du Baogang has no children.

His only daughter was lost when she was three years old. As a result, his wife was depressed and died before she was fifty. This was Du Baogang's biggest regret.

Du Baogang's collection is very complex. At the same time, he also collected famous calligraphy and paintings, precious porcelain, pianos, organs, and violins imported from foreign countries in the late Qing Dynasty. Many of them cannot be found abroad. This warehouse is simply a small museum.

Li Moyang made a simple estimate. The collection in this warehouse alone is worth two to three hundred million. Du Baogang is called low-key luxury with connotation. Unlike those country bumpkins who collect so-called watches, LV bags and the like, they look like dirt.

.

Before leaving the warehouse, Du Baogang gave Li Moyang a few small items and a few Lantian jade bracelets, saying they were for Li Moyang's girlfriend. Li Moyang accepted them calmly without any pretense, which made Du Baogang highly praised.

Judging from the meaning, they met late, and it felt like they wanted to adopt him as their adopted son. However, this statement must have someone as an intermediary, otherwise if Li Moyang did not agree, the friendship between the two would be broken, and Du Baogang just started to make plans.

When he arrived at the villa, Li Moyang saw the rice paper, pen and ink on the study table, and showed his talent again. He showed off all his talents today and must defeat Du Baogang.

I held a pen in my hand and dipped it in thick ink. After pondering for a while, I waved my pen and four big characters appeared on the paper: Tao follows nature.

Du Baogang didn't take it seriously at first, but when Li Moyang wrote the first word, his eyes never left the rice paper. The four words "Tao Fa Zi Zi" were completely natural, and the writing was powerful and had a little Taoist style that was unrestrained and free.

"Oh, my eyes are really opened today. Everyone's demeanor is beyond imagination. It's really unexpected."

Du Baogang greatly appreciated it.

Li Moyang snickered on the side. In fact, he knew these four words. These four words were carved on a huge stone at the Qing Palace under Mount Laoshan. He had passed there every day since he was a child. He had already figured it out clearly and it was all imprinted in his mind.

Yes, of course, Li Moyang still has research in this area, and he still has a certain foundation in brush calligraphy.

The more Du Baogang looked at Li Moyang, the more he liked him. There was a deep father-like love in his eyes. All of this fell into Li Moyang's eyes. It was almost time to make a fool of himself if he kept showing off. It was time to talk about business.
