Yang Xue sometimes feels that his life in the past two years has been like a dream.
Originally, his father died young and he was not very good at studying. He thought he could only go to a third-floor university, find an ordinary job, and live an ordinary life.
But suddenly, everything changed.
He first made hundreds of millions of yuan on the "Yuluyuan" villa project, and then opened an antique shop, which gradually became one of the most famous antique shops in Chengdu. He also borrowed money to buy dozens of Laoba Road shops, the most popular shop in Chengdu.
, the value of his family property increased to more than 5 billion yuan, and he became a super rich man in Sichuan!
The person who caused all these beautiful changes was his good friend Xiao Qi, who even he couldn't understand!
In the past, Xiao Qi was a taciturn and introverted person with no particularly outstanding advantages.
But after that summer when Xiao Qi risked his life to save himself and Su Zi, Xiao Qi suddenly changed drastically.
From the original Fairy Factory, to later Dreampad, Dreamstars, and Bird.com, Xiaoyao Express, Xiaoyao Logistics, Xiaoyao Mall... Every major undertaking that others would take a lifetime to complete, Xiao Qi took just two or three years to complete.
It’s all done. It can’t be described as a miracle at all, it can only be praised as a “miracle”!
He couldn't figure out what happened, and could only guess that Xiao Qi was a genius who suddenly had an enlightenment.
But none of this hinders his friendship with Xiao Qi. Even though Xiao Qi is the richest man in the world, the two of them often go to eat at street stalls, drink mutton soup in the morning, and chat.
Yang Xue knew that Xiao Qi had been taking care of him, not only in the previous store on Lao Ba Road, but also in the two acquisitions of antique jade. Not only did he receive generous agency acquisition remuneration, but more importantly, it allowed him to be in the acquisition process.
During the trip, he gained a lot of knowledge and learned a lot, which will be of great benefit to him in running an antique store in the future.
Yang Xue is not a genius, but he is practical in doing things. Much more practical than Master He.
Even though Xiao Qi was his good friend, Yang Xue regarded this commission as a formal business commission and was meticulous and never sloppy.
However, he is not completely old-fashioned. For example, this time he came to the capital in August to buy antique jade. It happened to coincide with the Olympic Games, so he called Su Zi over. After finishing business and socializing during the day, the young couple went out when they had time.
It's indescribably enjoyable to walk around, watch the games, and tour the capital.
The place he is going to today is a teahouse.
After being introduced by an acquaintance, a Korean collector wanted to sell a piece of calligraphy and painting that his grandfather bought from China decades ago. It was the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" written by Zhao Mengfu, one of the four masters of regular script, with more than 700 eloquent words.
Everyone who sees it is amazed.
Zhao Mengfu's works have always been sought after by people. One word cannot be overstated.
Especially his large-scale works have become more popular in recent years.
Xiao Qi asked Yang Xue to buy some works that opened the door. This work by Zhao Mengfu is one of the most valuable works for investment. Because it was introduced by a famous collector in Beijing, Yang Xue brought two calligraphy appraisal experts, Teacher Wang and
Teacher Xu rushed to the agreed place.
The Korean came with a translator. He was about forty years old, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and looked quite elegant.
The translator is in his thirties, slightly fat, and has a smile on his face. You can tell from a glance that he is a flexible boss.
"Hello, Mr. Yang!" After sitting down, the translator smiled and said, "My name is Wu Zhongping, and this is my employer, Mr. Li Rungong, a great collector in Seoul, South Korea. Mr. Li comes from Yi, Sanggyeongnam-do, South Korea.
You all know Ningjun, right? Chairman Lee Jianxi of Samsung is from Yining County."
He did not say that Li Yungong and Li Jianxi were related, but both of them had the same surname and were from the same place. This hint was very strong.
Yang Xue and the two teachers looked at Li Rungong more solemnly.
Li Rungong's expression was still very calm. He first bowed as usual, and then slowly spoke for a long time before stopping.
"Mr. Li said that his business encountered some difficulties, and he had no choice but to use some things passed down from his ancestors to raise money. If you want to buy them, please be sure to keep them properly. If you have the opportunity, he
I hope I can buy it back," Wu Zhongping translated.
"If it is true, we will buy it. After buying it, we will naturally pay attention to it. Don't worry about this." Yang Xue is not a young boy who is just starting out. He said harmoniously: "Now, let us take a look at the copybook.
Alright?"
Wu Zhongping told Li Rungong, and Li Rungong nodded, picked up a password suitcase from the ground next to him, opened it carefully, and took out a framed scroll from inside.
However, he did not give them directly to Yang Xue and the others. Instead, he asked Wu Zhongping to hand them three pairs of white gloves first, and after they put them on, he handed them the copybooks.
Regarding Li Rungong's caution, Yang Xue and the others secretly nodded.
This is the attitude a collector should have. From this link, we can see that Li Rungong is very knowledgeable in collecting cultural relics.
In the antique business, except for auctions, generally rely on introductions from acquaintances.
The introductions from acquaintances are naturally divided into three, six, and nine grades. Yang Xue and the others have reported that they have spent a lot of money to buy genuine antiques.
This Li Rungong had stayed in the capital for half a month before, and sold three pieces of jade, two pieces of porcelain, and two paintings and calligraphy, all of which were confirmed to be genuine. He is now somewhat famous, so the acquaintance would introduce Yang Xue
They come over.
After taking the copybook, Yang Xue showed it to the older Teacher Wang first, and then to Teacher Xu. He only watched it as an appreciator.
Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy is very distinctive. He is beautiful on the outside but strong on the inside, gentle and elegant. He has a very high reputation in Japan and South Korea. Therefore, it is reasonable for Koreans to buy his copybooks.
Moreover, this copybook of his is very large, about 130 centimeters long and 60 centimeters wide. It is a rare large-scale work, and its valuation is higher.
In addition, Yang Xue also saw the seals of many famous people on it, such as Dong Qichang's seal, two seals of Qianlong, Yuan Mei's seal, Ji Xiaolan's seal... He had seen most of them on other calligraphy and paintings, and compared them.
Looking at the seal in his memory, he found that it was an authentic seal.
Teacher Wang and Teacher Xu had already finished reading the copybook and laid it flat on the table. They pointed to the places on the copybook and slowly and quietly exchanged their opinions.
Li Rungong and Wu Zhongping were both very patient and did not speak during the whole process.
About thirty minutes later, Teacher Wang and Teacher Xu agreed and said to Yang Xuedao: "We see that there is nothing wrong with this thing. It should be true."
Teacher Wang is an expert in calligraphy appraisal at the Sichuan Provincial Museum, and Teacher Xu is a master of calligraphy in the antique market in Rongcheng. They both learned from Yang all the way, and their standards are very high.
Hearing that they all said there was no problem, Yang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss the price with Li Rungong.
Li Rungong seems to be really in need of money. Such a big-opening work is also a work of a super famous artist. In the end, the price was only 49 million, which was 10% lower than the market price.
The two wrote a transfer receipt. After confirming the transfer of the copybook, Yang Xue also transferred the money to Li Rungong's account, and the business was completed.
Look at the time, it's been an hour.
Originally, Yang Xue wanted to invite Li Rungong to have a casual meal, but Li Rungong smiled and refused, and left with Wu Zhongping.
Yang Xue took the suitcase given by Li Rungong, which contained Zhao Mengfu's "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng". After paying the bill, he was about to leave, but he was unexpectedly bumped into by a man rushing from the opposite side. , fell directly to the ground.
"What are you doing!"
Yang Xue was hit so hard that the box flew aside. He rushed over and hugged the box, but the man ran away without even apologizing.
"Stop!"
At this time, a few men ran out from another box, holding weapons in their hands, and chased them fiercely.
Yang Xue was frightened when he saw it, and hurriedly hid aside with the box in his arms.
Teacher Wang and Teacher Xu are already in their fifties and sixties. Wherever they dare to get involved, they hide further than Yang Xue.
But they obviously thought too much. This group of people only chased the man just now and did not come to rob Yang Xue at all.
When the crowd rushed over, Senior Yang let out a long breath and leaned against the wall, still in shock.
"Xiao Yang, look at the copybook inside quickly. Don't break it!" Teacher Wang, who was more experienced, hurriedly told Yang Xuedao.
It is possible to repair calligraphy and paintings after they are damaged, but the repaired ones will not be as good as the original ones, and the price will be much different.
Yang Xue thought so, and quickly found an empty seat nearby, opened his suitcase, and took out "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion".
Seeing that the copybook was still rolled up and placed in the groove, Yang Xue laughed: "Huhu, luckily it's okay!"
He opened it smoothly and wanted to confirm it again. At this time, Teacher Wang and Teacher Xu also stood over. When they took a look, they were suddenly surprised.
"Oops!"
They both shouted at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Yang Xue was startled. He looked at the copybook and saw that it was not damaged.
"This copybook has been transferred!" Teacher Wang snatched the copybook and read it again carefully, "This calligraphy is very similar to the original calligraphy I just saw, but it obviously lacks the charm, which is wrong!"
"Yes!" Teacher Xu said, "Look at this 'Seal of Qianlong's Imperial Treasure', the font is a bit awkward. And this paper, it's obviously not as natural as before! Xiao Yang, call the bodyguards to chase it!"
When Yang Xue heard this, he immediately called a few bodyguards downstairs: "Brother Zhu, Brother Long, hurry up and chase the two people just now, they have transferred something to me! Hurry!"
After hanging up the phone, he rushed downstairs without saying a word. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
