Chapter 377: Appreciating treasures and ghosts
It's November, and a cold wave blows from Siberia, causing the temperature in Kyoto to plummet. The day before, I was wearing a singlet, and today I'm wearing a sweater.
The video of Li Mo's open class became popular after it was released on the campus website. There were so many people who signed up that other teachers were very dissatisfied. They had no choice but to choose the first fifty students. So far, he has successfully taken two elective courses.
Now he mainly focuses on preparing lessons, and listens to others when he has time. After all, there is still a lot of theoretical knowledge, and some of them are worth listening to.
"Teacher Li, do you have any more green tea?"
Zheng Bin came over with a thermos cup.
"There are many drawers, and there are two boxes of green tea that are unopened. If Teacher Zheng likes to drink it, take it. My grandpa gave it to me. I like to drink black tea. It would be a waste to keep this green tea here."
Li Mo put down his pen and took out two cans of Biluochun from the drawer, both of which were good tea.
"No, I only drink it occasionally. If you have an opened bottle, just have some."
Zheng Bin took some Biluochun, brewed a cup of hot water, then sat on the chair next to Li Mo's desk and said with a smile: "How does it feel to be a teacher?"
"When I was a student, I used to be the kind of restless type who looked forward to finishing get out of class early. Now I stand on the podium and hope that my classmates can listen to what I have to say with peace of mind, so my mentality has changed quite a lot. big."
"Hahaha, the responsibilities are different."
Li Mo poured himself a glass of warm water and asked: "At what stage is the current research progress on Xiang Yu's treasure?"
"It will take about two months, and it should be all completed before the Spring Festival. By the way, Gu Yunxuan Old Summer Palace needs manpower, you can take me with you."
"No problem, we will really need a lot of help at that time. I heard that you have a chance with this rating?"
Zheng Bin smiled and said: "When I was a teacher, I most hoped to have the opportunity to grade, but after doing research at Xiang Yu Treasure Hall, I found that I am not so impatient anymore. I am confident that even if the grade this time is not up to standard, I will definitely be able to do so next year.
Yes. But we are all guessing when you will be awarded the title of associate professor."
"Let it be natural."
Zheng Bin took a sip of tea and asked softly: "Teacher Li, have you seen the news on the Internet in the past two days?"
"What weird thing happened again? I've been sorting out papers recently. I'm so busy with the things at hand that I haven't paid attention to what's happening online."
"Then I want to tell you briefly. Later, you take the time to read the news on the Internet carefully. Recently, there is a high-profile person on the Bay Island, saying that he is a genius who has been appreciating treasures for hundreds of years. Porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade.
, bronzes and miscellaneous items, all of which are fine and well-known. He became famous in his twenties and has not lost his hand in the past twenty years. He is well-known in the three places of Bay Island, Proud Island and Hong Kong Island, even many people from the United States and the United States.
Museums have to ask him for advice from time to time.”
Isn't this the person Qin Yali mentioned before? It seems that the Bay Island side really wants to challenge this side, and they actually publicized his achievements in such a high-profile manner.
"The Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong Island, the gambling tycoon in Macao Island, and the richest man in the Bay Island all have a deep friendship with him. It is said that this man is secretly rich, at least billions." When Zheng Bin said this, he suddenly felt that
His personal wealth is only average, and he is nothing compared to Li Mo.
When it comes to keeping a low profile, Li Mo is the master, and the only people who really understand his affairs are within a specific circle.
"It seems that this person is really powerful." Li Mo said lightly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
"Aren't you curious why he is suddenly so high-profile?"
"Is it possible that he feels that he is invincible and wants to be defeated alone, and wants to find a peerless master to compete with?"
Li Mo said with a smile. In fact, he had guessed some of the reasons. He must be sending a signal to the officials here. Of the two options given there, they preferred the former, which was a duel between the two sides.
Down.
"I just think that person is a bit arrogant. Teacher Li, I have classes later, so we can talk later."
"Okay, you get busy first."
After Li Mo waited for him to leave, he also packed up his documents and things on his desk and left the faculty building. He drove to a nearby high-end villa area, close to his home of a wealthy manor.
The single-family villa he bought is close to the lake. It has three floors above ground, two floors underground, and a huge yard outside.
When the car stopped at the door, two security guards quickly came over and saluted him.
"Is the eagle here?"
"The captain just left. It seems that Mr. Chen has something to hold a meeting with."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'm going to see Master Chen and Master Yu. If we have nothing to do in the evening, we can go out to eat together. There is an old goose earthen stove nearby that makes good food."
"Thank you, boss."
The basement of this villa was divided into two parts, and one part was directly converted into a treasure house. The jadeite rough stones he had brought back from Nanguang and the jadeite stones he had bought from the public market in Myanmar had been transported here after being decomposed.
Then he built a separate workshop. In order to create several sets of top-quality jade jewelry, he hired two disciples of Chen Xinghai, the great master of Beidiao.
He walked into the studio where Master Chen and Master Yu were painting patterns.
"Master Chen, Master Yu, thank you for your hard work."
Master Chen is the son of Chen Xinghai. When they saw their employer coming, they quickly put down their pens and rulers. Master Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Li, it's rare to see you now."
"There have been a lot of things lately, and the paper has been delayed for a long time, so I am busy with those things. Today, Master Yu said that the design drawings of earrings, rings and pendants have been released, so I came over quickly to confirm."
"Mr. Li, please come here. Based on the information you provided, we have designed a total of seven different sets of patterns. Do you like them?"
Master Yu hurriedly spread out all seven design drawings.
Li Mo looked at it carefully and said with a satisfied smile: "Master's action is extraordinary. Okay, just process it according to the pattern you designed. Can it be completed before New Year's Day?"
"Seven pairs of bracelets are simple, and the others need to be carved. It is a delicate job, so it needs to be slow, but there is still more than a month, so there is enough time. Don't worry, Mr. Li, you will be satisfied with the finished product."
Master Chen assured confidently.
Li Mo took out two red envelopes from his bag and handed them to the two of them respectively and said: "It's a small thank you, please accept it."
"Oh, Mr. Li, your salary has been paid in advance and tripled. We really can't accept this red envelope anymore."
The two brothers looked at each other and refused.
"I'm very grateful to you for having food and accommodation here during these days. This is just a small thought from me. You can buy more gifts for your family later."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
The two of them no longer refused. They knew that Li Mo's character would not be taken back once he had taken it out. This work must be made into a masterpiece for generations to come.
"By the way, has Mr. Niu contacted you? His jewelry company is almost ready and needs some jade carving experts."
"It's been agreed. I would like to thank Mr. Li for his help in this matter."
Li Mo waved his hand and said: "If you don't have that superb technology, it will be useless no matter how good the relationship between Mr. Niu and I is. Okay, you two masters, please go ahead and I won't disturb you."
He walked out of the studio, and two more brothers came outside. Basically, two of them were stationed here permanently, and the other two were arranged flexibly.
"Hello, boss."
"Let's have a drink tonight, and I'll order some food." Li Mo walked into the living room, which was very neat and tidy. Special people came here every day to cook and clean up.
