A group of people walked into the second exhibition hall. This exhibition hall displays Chinese art paintings. There are a total of 213 collections. Each one can be called the best. The main maintenance this time is in this hall.

Chinese treasures.

Li Mo glanced away and stood there for a long time without moving.

"Expert Qin, what's wrong with you?" a security guard asked in a low voice.

"When I saw this, I felt panicked. Every piece is a rare treasure among our national treasures." Li Mo glanced at it and immediately walked in one direction. The painting was "Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties". This painting of the Tang Dynasty

Yan Liben's sacred paintings are now stored in his Gu Yunxuan No. 1 Museum. He would like to see whose sacred copy the "Pictures of Emperors of the Past" collected in the Boston Museum is.

When he walked in and took a closer look, Li Mo immediately discovered that there were obvious differences in many details. With a sweep of his eyes, the entire picture of the emperor emits an orange halo, turning into dazzling circles of light that spread out.

This is a Song Dynasty copy, but we don’t know exactly who painted it. Nonetheless, the artistic level of this painting has reached a high level and is extremely valuable.

"Hey, today is really an eye-opener. You can even meet a kid here."

Zheng Bin walked up to Li Mo and immediately started to quiver. When Yan Liben's masterpiece "Pictures of Emperors of the Past" was released, it caused a sensation for a long time, and the hot searches once compared it to those of celebrities.

"Although it is a copy, it is undeniable that the artistic level of this painting is extremely high. Associate Professor Zheng, let's go over there and look at other paintings."

Li Mo and others slowly admired the national treasures from China, secretly feeling sad as they walked.

"This is "Apricot Blossom Parrot" by Huang Jucai of the Five Dynasties."

"This is "The Picture of Five Hundred Arhats: Giving to the Poor" by Zhou Jichang of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"This is "The Picture of Five Hundred Arhats: Feeding Hungry Ghosts" by Lin Tinggui of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"This is "Dragon and Tiger Picture Scroll" by Chen Rong of the Southern Song Dynasty."

Li Mo couldn't stand it any longer. He glanced at Zheng Bin and whispered, "I'm going to get some fresh air. You guys will watch first."

The sun was shining brightly outside, and Li Mo stood at the door and took a few deep breaths, feeling slightly better from his depressed mood.

"Expert Qin, if you are in a bad mood, let's go to the smoking room and have a smoke together?" Expert Huang from the Palace Museum also came out, but there was no emotion on his face.

"I don't know how to smoke, so why is Expert Huang here?"

"Someone told me about your matter, and I came out to talk to you. Boston is just our first stop. After the matter here is over, we will go to the second place. Although you are responsible for porcelain, it does not mean that you must

I want you to stay here all the time. In the past, every time we came here, we would take turns to go out and walk around. It was treated as a free trip, and the museums that invited us didn't care too much."

"Expert Huang has been here many times?"

"When I was young, I came here with my tutor to learn about it, eight times in total, so I am familiar with all the details inside. The Boston Museum is one of the top five museums in the world, and the collections in the porcelain museum we see today are not actually high-quality products.

In addition to the Porcelain Museum and the Painting and Calligraphy Museum, there is also the Forest of Steles Museum, which exhibits many steles and calligraphy from the Northern Wei Dynasty. After all, our Chinese Pavilion alone has a total of eight. You can imagine how much the United States has plundered from our country.

Antiques and cultural relics go back.”

Expert Huang took out a cigarette, but did not light it. He just put it under his nose and smelled it.

"Expert Huang, when did the work officially start?"

"You can do it at any time. If you can be lazy for a long time, just be lazy for a long time. We were invited here by them, and they can't do anything to show off. How about we start after dinner, and you can do it in the afternoon, and we can act alone tomorrow."

"Okay, I will also study with you in the afternoon."

The staff of the museum still took good care of the eating habits of the Chinese expert group and specially ordered a Chinese restaurant. Although the taste was not authentic enough, it was good enough compared to eating those non-nutritious fast food.

After lunch, everyone did not take a break and started working step by step. This greatly increased the favor of the staff of the Boston Museum, who once exaggerated that Chinese people are too honest in their work.

Li Mo also devoted himself to work. His main role was to maintain the porcelain. In fact, this work was dispensable. If he had not experienced drastic changes in the environment, the changes in the porcelain would have been minimal.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the first day of work was over. As soon as Li Mo returned to the hotel, he saw two familiar people sitting in the leisure area of ​​the lobby on the first floor.

"The two people I invited have arrived. Let's go and take a look first. You don't have to follow."

"Yes, then be careful." This is a five-star luxury hotel. The background itself is very dark, and the probability of an accident is almost negligible. The four security guards did not leave, but sat on tables and chairs not far away.

Ordered a few cups of coffee.

"Hello, Mr. Steven, Mr. Gulish, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Steven and Gu Lishi were originally sitting at a round table each, but now they heard Li Mo say hello and realized that the other party was his invited helper.

Li Mo introduced their identities to each other, and then they all sat down and ordered three cups of coffee.

"I told you on the phone, and I will tell you again now. My current legal name is Qin Mo. From now on until I leave Boston, you will be my partners. As for how much salary I can pay you

, let’s see how you perform on the first day tomorrow. Of course, if the cooperation fails, I won’t let you waste these two days in vain.”

"I trust Mr. Qin very much." Gu Lishi said without hesitation. Because of his relationship with Xu Jiaguo, Gu Lishi knew more about Li Mo's net worth. He can create a charity foundation worth more than 20 billion.

, then naturally you will not treat yourself badly.

"Mr. Qin, please rest assured that I will use my professional personality as a guarantee and will serve you wholeheartedly."

Li Mo picked up the coffee and said with a smile: "Use the Chinese custom, clink glasses, and have a happy cooperation."

“A pleasure to work with.”

Putting down the coffee cup, Li Mo asked: "Steven, you are an art dealer. How much do you know about the Boston antique market?"

"I have actually done some research on this. There is a famous open-air market in Boston, over on Harrison Avenue. The best open-air market in the United States is seasonal, open from April to October every year, and has all kinds of agricultural products.

Handicrafts and antiques are available for purchase. There are also many unique delicacies and a variety of freshly baked breads and pastries, so you can eat enough at one time.”

"Have you been anywhere?"

"I have been there, and those who work in our industry know best that if I can find a priceless antique, it will immediately change my life's destiny. I also hope to change my own destiny, but it is a pity that God does not favor me. Maybe I

You haven’t worked hard enough.”

Li Mo smiled. This Steven had the body of a foreigner and spoke fluent Chinese. Anyway, he always sounded obedient.

"Actually, here in the United States, the real good things may not always be hidden in those high-end and prosperous markets. Due to historical reasons, American soldiers robbed many treasures abroad, and they will be passed down from generation to generation after returning to the United States.

Sometimes we go for a walk in the countryside,

A poor family can unexpectedly find an antique worth millions of dollars. It may be from China, an island country, or it may come from several countries in Southeast Asia. As long as you have the ability, it is impossible to find treasures in the United States.

Don’t worry about making a fortune.”

Gu Lishi took over and said: "I also know about this. In the United States, Taobao is actually a profession, and there are many people engaged in this profession. For example, the more popular Taobao now is called warehousing Taobao, which goes to the port every day

There are many professionals participating in Taobao bidding at the warehouse. But compared with Taobao for art, it sounds relatively low-end."

Li Mo was more interested in the warehouse Taobao store and asked Gulishi for more details.

I will try my best to post as many pictures of antiques as possible. The three chapters will be updated today. Please vote for support.
