To put it another way, even if they have evidence to prove that the gold is in Zhang Zhonghua's hands, so what? Just kidnap Zhang Zhonghua and ask him to hand over the gold? Completely impossible!
The Jade Emperor Group's economic and military strength are not weaker than those of a small country, and its public opinion capabilities are even more powerful than those of a large country!
The Jade Emperor Group is fully capable of fighting for gold against Zhang Zhonghua. If there are not enough people coming, there is not enough to fight. If there are too many coming, the noise will be too great, and the pressure of public opinion can crush people to death!
Zhang Zhonghua put these messy thoughts behind and walked towards the floor where the cultural relics acquisition company was located in the same building as Yuhuang Securities. He didn't know how the cultural relics acquisition was progressing. He thought he should have gained a lot.
After the Chinese New Year in recent years, a few old gentlemen ignored Zhang Zhonghua's dissuasion to rest at home for a while and insisted on returning to Europe from Hong Kong Island with their acquisition team and began the journey of acquiring antique cultural relics. Now
It has been two months since they returned to Europe.
Zhang Zhonghua is very concerned about this. He rarely asks about the acquisition of antique cultural relics, but it is a very important matter!
After a while, Zhang Zhonghua arrived at the cultural relics company. As soon as he entered the company gate, Zhang Zhonghua heard the laughter of three old gentlemen.
Listening to the laughter of the three of them, Zhang Zhonghua understood that this must be some great treasure, so Zhang Zhonghua walked in excitedly!
"Gentlemen, have you received another treasure?"
Zhang Zhonghua walked into the room and saw three old gentlemen gathered around a table, using magnifying glasses to study what was going on on the table, so he asked!
"Oh, it's Zhang Sheng. Let me tell you some good news! We received a painting "Viewing the Waterfall on Mount Lu" by Tang Bohu. It is indeed a work by Tang Bohu. It is so beautiful and shocking. I have no regrets in this life. I have no regrets in this life.
What a pity!"
"The three of us have been studying here for two days, and we can basically conclude that this "Lushan Waterfall Picture" is the authentic work of Tang Bohu!"
Zhang Zhonghua was stunned, Tang Bohu's "Viewing the Waterfall on Mount Lushan"???
Let me tell you, this painting is absolutely priceless. Don’t ask Zhang Zhonghua how he knew it. This is a famous painting worth tens of billions. Even though it has been auctioned for several years, it is still making a fuss on the Internet!
In fact, the tens of billions of famous paintings are a bit excessive. This "Lushan Waterfall" by Tang Bohu was auctioned at the Sotheby's New York auction in 2013 with a starting price of 300 million US dollars. After 120 rounds of bidding, it was finally sold for 590 million US dollars, making it a
The most expensive ancient Chinese painting.
There may be reasons for the auctioneer to raise the price maliciously, but the fact that it was finally sold at such a high price is enough to show the high value of this painting! In any case, Zhang Zhonghua picked up a super big leak this time, and it can be said that
A treasure of the treasure level.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Zhonghua put on his gloves and took the magnifying glass on the table to look at the painting carefully. This painting should be regarded as Tang Bohu's pinnacle work.
"How did you receive this painting?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked curiously.
"We acquired this painting in London. The old man who collected this painting passed away a few days ago, so his son began to deal with some antiques collected by the old man.
I also rushed over after receiving the news, and there happened to be dozens of Asian antiques among the antiques I was dealing with. After a brief look, I thought they were all genuine, so I bought them directly.
At that time, this painting was hidden in a large vase from the Qing Dynasty, and I only discovered it after I came back. When I opened it and looked at it, I was so surprised that I called the two of them here to study it for two days."
These foreigners have no idea of the true value of these antiques. In their hands, these dazzling treasures of the hot summer civilization have no other purpose than to be placed in the attic and gather dust.
"Not bad, not bad! I still think our ink paintings in the hot summer are beautiful, but I really can't appreciate those foreign oil paintings."
Zhang Zhonghua joked with a smile.
Zhang Zhonghua once visited the Louvre Museum in Gaul. Zhang Zhonghua also personally saw the original painting of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa". He felt that it was just like that. He could only say that it was just average. He appreciated it.
Can't read Western paintings.
Not only Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre, Zhang Zhonghua also visited the Neues Museum of Art in Munich, Germany, the National Gallery in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, and even the Dongjinxing Museum in Japan.
Zhang Zhonghua also went to the Min Art Museum and took a few glances at it like soy sauce.
We can’t say that other people’s oil paintings are not good, we can only say that they are not part of a civilized system. Most foreigners can’t appreciate our ink paintings, let alone European art. Most of the art from the country of Little Japan, which is a branch of Yanxia culture.
Even Zhang Zhonghua can’t appreciate it!
After seeing Tang Bohu's paintings, Zhang Zhonghua began to look at other antiques he had collected in the past two months, or something aroused his curiosity!
"This is...a string of Buddhist beads?"
Zhang Zhonghua picked up a string of beads and asked curiously.
"Zhang Sheng, these are not Buddhist beads. However, although they are not Buddhist beads, this string of beads has a great origin. These are ancient court beads, which are the beads that ancient officials hung on their chests when they went to court to represent status and status.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, a total of eight royal families with outstanding military exploits were entrusted as hereditary and irreplaceable iron hat kings. Among them, Dorgon, the famous bully of orphans and widowed mothers, was the first of the eight iron hat kings, Prince He Shuorui.
In the winter of 1650, Dorgon, who was only 39 years old, died while hunting in the northern part of the Great Wall. He was posthumously named the "Righteous Emperor". Later, Shunzhi announced Dorgon's fourteen crimes and had Dorgon's tomb destroyed and his body exhumed.
Ergon's property was also confiscated.
In 1773, Emperor Qianlong ordered the restoration of Prince Rui's tomb outside Dongzhimen, overturned Dorgon's verdict, restored his royal title, and allowed him to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Since Dorgon had no children after his death, Chunying inherited the title of Prince Rui after Duduo. Prince Rui Chunying was given a string of imperial pearls from the east as a token of compensation for the former Prince Rui, Dorgon.
The laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty stipulate that only the emperor and the empress dowager can wear the Dongzhu Chaozhu when they hold grand ceremonies in the palace, so the Dongzhu Chaozhu has great representative significance."
Gu Binglin explained.
"So, this string of court beads is the imperial Dongzhu court beads given to Prince Rui by Emperor Qianlong back then?"
Zhang Zhonghua said in surprise, if it was really Qianlong who gave Prince Rui Chunying the Imperial East Pearl Chaozhu, then the value and significance of this thing is not small!
"It should be. This string of beads is very unusual. It is made up of 108 beads, which represent the 12 months, 24 solar terms and 72 weathers in a year.
This string is the East Pearl court bead given to Prince Rui by Emperor Qianlong. It is made of 108 East beads, equally divided into four coral beads. There are 8 lapis lazuli beads on both sides of the beads. One of the coral beads
Beads are connected to the turquoise Buddha head, and a yellow ribbon is connected to the back cloud. On the back cloud is inlaid with gold and an opal, and the coral is carved into the shape of a bat to make a knot plaque. There are four East beads, and the falling corners are
The golden thread is used as a support, and a ruby drops. There are three commemorative strings of court beads, each string is pierced with 10 turquoises, the falling corners are rubies, and the top is tied with one east pearl and one knot bead. Therefore, this string of court beads should be the one given to Rui by Emperor Qianlong.
Prince Chunying uses the East Pearl to pay homage to the emperor."
After listening to the explanation, Zhang Zhonghua also understood that these materials are actually not valuable. In ancient times, dong beads were very valuable, but now dong beads are not valuable. Of course, what matters in the end for this string of beads is not whether the material is valuable, but its significance.
.
Although I am not sure how much this string of beads can be sold for, or at all, it is still very good as a meaningful cultural relic for exhibition.
Besides, Zhang Zhonghua is not short of money. There is a high probability that the antiques in his hands will not be sold, so whether they are valuable or not is not a consideration at all!
Then Zhang Zhonghua looked at the various other cultural relics collected. There were many various things among them. Zhang Zhonghua really didn't know many of them, so he couldn't tell whether they were good or not!
"Zhang Sheng, most of these porcelains are from the Ming and Qing dynasties and are produced by JDZ. They are not very valuable. Nowadays, there is a relatively large amount of them among the people in China."
"Hey, is this another imperial edict?"
Zhang Zhonghua looked at an imperial edict and said, "I have received a lot of imperial edicts in the past two years. This is mainly because it is easier to keep them at home and the family of the person who received the edict will take good care of the edict very seriously, so the number of retained ones is still relatively large."
.
"Zhang Sheng, this is the imperial edict issued by Emperor Daoguang to Lin Zexu to ban smoking in the 19th year of Daoguang. Lin Zexu went to Guangdong as an imperial envoy to ban smoking, forced foreign opium merchants to hand over opium, and destroyed the confiscated opium in Humen. This was also the first time
The fuse of the Second Opium War."
"The sea accepts hundreds of rivers, and it is great if it has tolerance; if it stands thousands of feet high on the wall, it is strong if it has no desires."
If you only care about life and death for the benefit of the country, why should you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?
Alas, this is also the beginning of a century-old history of humiliation for our nation in Yanxia. As expected, we will be beaten if we fall behind.
This imperial edict is very meaningful. I should keep it well after returning to Hong Kong Island. When a museum is built in the future, I will put this edict on display!"
Zhang Zhonghua said with emotion.
"Hey, when opium was not popular, the smokers could not harm their bodies, so the stick was enough to cover up the victims. If the poison spreads to the world, the harm will be great, and the law should be strict. If it is still allowed to leak, it will cause harm.
Decades later, there will be few soldiers in the Central Plains who can defend the enemy, and no silver to pay for them."
Since the First Opium War, after hundreds of years, the land of China has been brutally humiliated by the foreign powers. It is a painful past to look back on.
"Hey, let's not say these sad words. You have worked hard during this period and have made great achievements. You can study the specific distribution of the US$500,000 bonus for each team!
After all, he said that everyone has worked hard and hopes that everyone can continue their efforts and bring more antique cultural relics of our Yanxia nation back to Yanxia."
Zhang Zhonghua said to the three old gentlemen.
"Thank you Zhang Sheng."
The three old gentlemen were very happy. On the one hand, they were happy to take back so many cultural relics from the hot summer. On the other hand, they felt comfortable working for Zhang Sheng. They basically didn’t have to worry about it for the rest of their lives. They could be considered as riding on the wind and soaring 90,000 miles.
