Mr. Li looked solemn and asked Gu Beixian: "Who are you Guan Shanyue?"
Gu Beixian and Guan Shanyue were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't know how to answer.
Su Hua opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Guan is the senior archeologist with me and a leading figure in the archaeological world."
Li Laolue nodded, "You came to me, does he know?"
Su Hua smiled slightly, "Only a few people knew that we came to see you, and they didn't tell Mr. Guan. If he knew, it must be because he guessed it, or it was a coincidence. Don't worry, our trip is confidential.
You are more afraid that things will become public."
Mr. Li's expression softened slightly.
When it comes to buying and selling cultural relics, the seller is breaking the law and the buyer is also involved.
It's just that the laws in Hong Kong are different from those in the mainland, and he usually sends his subordinates to take care of it, and acts in secret.
Having been involved in the collecting industry for decades, no one has ever come directly to his door like Gu Beixian and asked to spend money to redeem it.
Mr. Li pondered for a few minutes and said: "When I was doing business in Kyoto a few years ago, I had some friendship with Guan Shanyue. Let's do this, I will give you the original price of the antique you want, just as a favor from selling him."
Hearing this, Gu Beixian and Su Hua both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought it would be difficult for this rich man from Hong Kong to talk, after all, he is a man who is not short of money.
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Gu Beixian smiled and thanked him.
Mr. Li smiled back, raised his head and told his assistant: "Take someone to deal with it."
The assistant responded: "Okay."
Gu Beixian took out the notebook from the file bag and handed it to him, "We only need Qin Ye to handle it. There is a list on it."
The assistant reached out and took it, "I also have a deposit. I'll find it when I go back and check the price with you."
Gu Beixian said: "No, just deal with it with my assistant. I can trust Mr. Li."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your trust."
Wait for people to go down.
Mr. Li dismissed the servants and made tea himself to entertain Gu Beixian and Su Hua.
Gu Beixian picked up the gift box he brought and handed it to him, "This is Wuyishan Dahongpao. I heard that you like to drink, so I specially prepared it for you. A small gift is not disrespectful."
"You are too polite."
Mr. Li reached out to take it, opened the package and looked at it, "This tea is out of print in the world. It was no longer allowed to be picked a few years ago. Where did you get it from?"
Gu Beixian smiled lightly, "My grandfather collected it."
Mr. Li laughed and said, "Thank you for enduring the pain and giving up my love."
"It should."
Mr. Li put the tea leaves back into the gift box and looked at Su Hua, "I heard that you have a keen eye to identify real and fake antiques, and a pair of skillful hands to repair all the cultural relics in the world?"
Su Hua smiled, "They are all rumors. Rumors are too easy to exaggerate. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. But it is true that I am good at restoring ancient calligraphy and paintings. I have been involved in it since I was a child."
Mr. Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, "I happen to have a few calligraphy and paintings, please help me palm them."
"OK."
After two cups of tea, the three of them got up.
Gu Beixian and Su Hua followed Mr. Li to his calligraphy and painting collection room.
There is a dedicated large house for collection, equipped with infrared alarm equipment and surveillance everywhere.
When entering, you must use Mr. Li's pupil identification.
There is a constant temperature and humidity environment inside, and each ancient painting is protected by a glass cover and hung on the wall.
It seems that Mr. Li has put his heart into it.
Su Hua looked at them one by one and saw that these were all authentic works.
Finally, she came to a bamboo painting and stopped.
This is Zheng Banqiao’s bamboo and stone painting.
The painting depicts bamboo with thin branches and thick leaves, thin, strong and tall, which makes the painting unique.
But Su Hua had restored this painting before.
The painting she restored is 100% authentic, so the one in front of you must be fake.
The person who painted the painting is so skilled that it can be said that they are exactly the same, similar in shape and spirit, and even an expert can hardly tell them apart.
The only shortcoming is that the painter's brushwork is a little weaker than Zheng Banqiao's, so the charm is a little lacking.
Su Hua raised her chin slightly and pointed at the painting on the wall, "Mr. Li, you need to take a closer look at this painting."
Mr. Li is a veteran of the world.
Once he heard it, he understood what she meant.
He opened his mouth to express his thanks, "Thank you, Xiao Su, I will make you my friend."
He picked up his cell phone and called his assistant, "I don't charge Mr. Gu any money for the Ashoka Tower and the bronze bird statue. Give them to them."
Su Hua was very surprised.
Ashoka Pagoda and bronze bird statue are two of the most valuable antiques.
Everything is worth tens of millions.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li gave it away as he said.
It's really atmospheric.
Su Hua thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, we can't take your things for nothing. If your paintings need to be repaired in the future, please contact me at any time and I will repair them for you free of charge. I can also repair bronzes and porcelain."
Mr. Li laughed loudly, "I just like a girl who is so loyal to you."
Su Huaxin said, I am already twenty-five and am no longer a girl.
Gu Beixian, who had been ignored the whole time, cast an approving look at Su Hua.
It was indeed a good idea to bring her here on this trip.
If he comes, he will just talk about business.
But bringing Su Hua along with me turned business into friendship.
She was born to be liked by old men and old ladies.
Seeing that things have almost been discussed.
Gu Beixian raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said to Mr. Li politely: "I have disturbed you for too long. We are going back, Mr. Li."
"Okay, when you leave the port city, remember to tell me and I will give you a banquet to see you off."
"Okay, Mr. Li."
The two left Li's Mansion with their bodyguards.
Get in the car.
Gu Beixian held Suhua's soft and slender fingers in his palm, "It's a good thing I brought you here. Huahua is ready to fight."
Su Hua smiled sweetly and said, "Your mouth is so sweet, is it because you put honey on it?"
"Well, you put it on that night."
Thinking of the beautiful scene that night, Suhua's cheeks felt hot and her heartbeat quickened.
She turned her head away and ignored him.
So bad, this man.
Return to the hotel.
Gao Canghai came up to greet him, "How are things going? Do you still want me to come to the door and pressure him with national justice?"
Gu Beixian smiled lightly, "It's done, I don't need you to finish it off. Things went more smoothly than expected, and Mr. Li gave us the two most expensive items for free."
Gao Canghai was surprised, "So smooth?"
Gu Beixian raised his hand and put it on Su Hua's shoulder, "Because I brought this living treasure with me."
Gao Canghai smiled approvingly, "My little junior sister has a bright future."
Su Hua pinched Gu Beixian's arm without leaving any trace. A man who seizes the opportunity to show off his wife is really terrible.
I don't know any humility at all.
Once the bulk is taken care of, the rest of the antiques will be easy to deal with.
Gu Beixian sent his men to handle it, and everyone divided the work.
Gao Canghai also led people to chase him.
After all, after these antiques are recovered and the procedures are completed, their final destination is the museum.
It took four days for several people to recover most of the antiques.
There are also a few scattered antiques that have been passed down several hands by antique dealers and their whereabouts are unknown.
Gu Beixian left two men behind to deal with it.
Before leaving, they had a meal with Mr. Li.
Everyone left the port city.
Gu Beixian took Su Hua and others, as well as the recovered cultural relics, and flew back on a private plane.
When passing through customs, Gao Canghai will handle the matter.
Although there were some twists and turns, the return to Kyoto was generally smooth.
The recovered antiques are temporarily stored in Fengqi Chaoming.
After settling everything, Gu Beixian called Gu Jinyao, "Did you find Mr. Guan Shanyue Guan? Did you ask him to come forward and call Mr. Li from Hong Kong City?"
Gu Jinyao responded: "Yes, I found out that he has a relationship with Mr. Li. If he comes forward to exert pressure, it will be smoother for you to recover the cultural relics."
"How did you convince Mr. Guan?"
"It's very simple. Give him tickets to the auction for life. This is secondary. The main thing is that he also thinks highly of Brother Ye and goes with the flow."
"You helped me again, thank you."
Gu Jinyao corrected him: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping Brother Ye. I can't get what I want. I hope Brother Ye can find a lover and get married eventually, so he won't be as miserable as me."
