Chapter 262, sensational, heroic character 2(1/2)
"Scumbag."
"A scumbag among scumbags."
"The scumbag of scumbags."
"Since you like Li Qiujun, and Li Qiujun also likes him, why don't you marry her, and why do you say you are reluctant to let her be your concubine? I think it's just a matter of face."
"That is, since we can't marry, why are we still together? How can we recognize brothers and sisters and engage in Plato love? Isn't this ruining someone's life?"
…
Hearing that Zhang Daqian had already married a wife at home and couldn't bear to have Li Qiujun as his concubine, he couldn't divorce his wife and remarry for the sake of his family's reputation, and he didn't want to be separated from Li Qiujun, so he asked Li Qiujun to keep him by his side as his adopted sister.
The most disgusting thing is that his disciples all call Li Qiujun his master's wife. The two of them are no different than getting married. Zhang Daqian is not willing to give him an explanation and engage in the so-called Plato love.
So the girls were unhappy and denounced Zhang Daqian one after another, thinking that he was a scumbag among scumbags.
The reason why they are united is because their situation is similar to that of Li Qiujun.
Salina is firmly seated on the throne of Lei Weidong's wife. Everyone is unable to compete for it and can only compete for the position of the concubine. Anyway, the law of Xiangjiang stipulates that the concubine and the children she gave birth to have the right to inherit. Except for the unpleasant name, they have the right to inherit the concubine.
Not much difference.
If Lei Weidong were to follow Zhang Daqian's example, eat everything and end up recognizing a foster sister without even a title, everyone would be in tears because a foster sister has no inheritance rights.
As a result, the voices of condemnation became louder and louder, and instructor Hu, Jenny, A Mei and others were also brought in.
Li Ying and Chen Jiaju are okay, they are single-minded good men. Lei Weidong, Chen Baixiang and other scumbags consciously hide aside for fear of being burned. Angry girls are unreasonable.
It’s better not to touch this brow.
"Jin Qing, is Li Qiujun still alive? Is he married? Is he still in the mainland?"
The girls denounced for a while, but found no one answered, so they fell silent. After a pause, Salena asked.
"Li Qiujun never married and never left the mainland. He has always stayed in the magic city, but he has been dead for many years. In fact, not only Li Qiujun but also Zhang Daqian has passed away.
The two of them have not seen each other since Zhang Daqian left the country for Wanwan in 1949."
Jin Qing said, "As for the seal of Qiuchi, it is said that it was specially carved by Zhang Daqian for Li Qiujun, and it was stamped on the "Wild and Green Pictures" specially made for Li Qiujun."
""The Vast and Green Pictures", I really wish I had heard of this name." Salena nodded, thoughtfully.
"The Vast and Green Pictures" was created in August 1945, the day of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Zhang Daqian, who was far away in Sichuan at that time, heard the news of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
With a swipe of his brush, he painted a huge landscape painting "The Vast and Green Pictures" praising the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland, and stamped it with the seal of "Autumn Late".
Putting this seal on has two meanings: first, because Zhang Daqian knew that this painting would be the masterpiece of his life; second, it was to allow Li Qiujun, who was far away in the capital, to see it one day in order to express his thoughts and commemorate it.
Their lifelong love.
Later, he gave this painting to his friend Xie Zhiliu, hoping that when Xie Zhiliu exhibited this work in Shanghai, Li Qiujun would be able to see it and express his lovesickness.
Unfortunately, "The Vast Green Picture" was confiscated in 1952 before Xie Zhiliu could show it to Li Qiujun. However, I heard that it had been returned to Mr. Xie Zhiliu two years ago.
When I saw the seal of Qiu Chi, I knew that it was authentic and of high quality. It was given to Li Qiujun by Zhang Daqian, but I didn't know why it arrived in Xiangjiang and fell into the hands of Jiaju."
"The seal of Qiuchi actually has such a poignant story. Jiaju, you really decided to give this painting to us." Looking at the lotus flowers in the painting and listening to Jin Qing's explanation, Salena liked it very much.
asked.
"I'm a rough man, and my appreciation of paintings is far inferior to yours. It would be a waste to leave it in my hands, let alone this is a gift. There is no reason to take it back."
Chen Jiaju shook his head and said that what he gave away would not be taken back, "And this painting is not worth anything. I only spent a thousand yuan."
"Just because it's not valuable now doesn't mean it won't be valuable in the future. Zhang Daqian has passed away, and his paintings will only become less and less, let alone antiques from the prosperous times and gold from the troubled times.
Even though the painting is only worth a thousand yuan now, in twenty years it will be worth two million or even three million. If it is thirty or forty years later it will be worth more. I hope you won’t regret it then.
.”
The brothers are settling accounts. If you say you don't know the market situation of calligraphy and painting twenty years later, it's okay. Since you know, it's better to tell the matter in advance. With Lei Weidong's net worth, it's not worth losing friends for a few mistakes.
"Twenty years later, two million or even three million will not be able to stop us!"
Lei Weidong's words made Chen Jiaju, A Mei, Zhou Xingxing and others who were watching the excitement were stunned, and their eyes changed when they looked at the painting. As Lei Weidong, I will not lie to everyone in this regard, I can only say...
...
Chen Jiaju quickly calmed down, shook his head, handed the scroll to Lei Weidong and said:
"Twenty years is too long. No one can tell what will happen by then. Besides, if I am really jealous, I can just go to the market and buy it. The price increase will not only increase the price of this painting, but other paintings will certainly also increase.
It will rise.”
"That's right."
Lei Weidong nodded and said with a smile: "There may not be many good things in Xiangjiang, but in the mainland, especially in cities like Shanghai and Beijing, you can definitely get good things as long as you spend money. However, Jiaju, I want to remind you.
"
"you say?"
"When collecting things, find a few professionals. This industry is very deep. Counterfeiting has been around for hundreds of years. It's easy to buy things. And don't touch national treasures. That thing is against the law. Even if you take it back to Hong Kong
It’s also not easy to cash out.
It is better to buy some calligraphy and painting works by modern masters. These can be bought in state-owned stores in Beijing. They are not fake. You can collect more. When these masters pass away, their value will definitely increase by ten times or even dozens or hundreds of times. Compared with
Collecting antiques is much safer.”
"The director is right, Jiaju. In a few days, I will go shopping with you in the capital. Let's pool some money together and we will evacuate the calligraphy and painting stores."
When he heard that buying paintings and calligraphy could bring dozens or even hundreds of times the profit, Zhou Xingxing, who was obsessed with money, could no longer bear it. He took Chen Jiaju's arm and wanted to run to the capital.
"Call me and I'll go too."
Chen Baixiang also came closer. He now owed a lot of debt. Although Lei Weidong paid back the money for him, he still couldn't bear the deduction of part of his salary every month. Seeing the opportunity to make a fortune,
Of course I won't let it go.
"Brother Dong, you and Jiaju and the others are chatting here. I will take Ami and Jenny to walk around the yard and give you a review. After that, we will go back to the restaurant to eat."
The mistress of the manor, Salena, stepped forward and said.
"That's right. Their men are busy with men's affairs, and we women are busy with our own affairs. This estate is said to have cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. I want to see where the money went."
Zhou Xingxing and others talked about making money, but Ami and Jenny were not very interested. When they heard Salina taking them to visit the manor, they all jumped up with joy.
This is the largest mansion in Hong Kong. If you take a good walk around it and take a few photos, it will make many people jealous.
------
Xiangjiang laughs at poverty but not at prostitution!
The attention paid to the rich is much higher than in mainland China, especially the richest man. Reporters follow him wherever he goes.
Lei Weidong moved into the first mansion in Xiangjiang. This topic alone can attract the attention of countless readers. If there are a few photos in it, preferably photos of Lei Weidong and others' activities, it will definitely increase the circulation of the newspaper.
increase.
Otherwise, why would the major media outlets send elite troops to conduct interviews in Rose Garden?
However, Lei Weidong had no intention of dealing with reporters and directly asked the guards to stop the reporters hundreds of meters away.
From this distance, let alone interviewing useful information, even the photos of the manor are blocked by trees. Unless someone can break through the guards and run to the mountain to secretly take pictures with a high-power camera, there will be something to gain.
However, even so, the reporters still showed their magical powers across the sea.
For example, "Oriental Daily" published several photos of the interior of the Rose Garden in the newspaper the next day, allowing the citizens of Xiangjiang to feast their eyes on what the largest mansion in Xiangjiang looks like and how it is different from ordinary villas.
Of course, these photos were not taken by reporters on the day of the housewarming. From the vaguely visible forklift and scattered construction materials in the corner of the photos, we know that they were taken by the construction workers of Rose Garden when the construction was about to be completed.
Although Lei Weidong signed a confidentiality agreement with the construction company, and the construction company gave repeated orders to its employees, it is still impossible to be foolproof.
In order to obtain photos of the interior of the Rose Garden, major newspapers such as Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily offered a sky-high price of 5,000 yuan per photo.
Taking a few photos is equivalent to several months' salary. It is difficult to keep construction workers from being tempted. They don't care even if they lose their jobs. More than one worker sold the secretly taken photos to a newspaper.
Although the photos are not the latest, readers will not care as long as the photos are clear and can provide them with interesting materials. Not to mention that the newspaper also used Spring and Autumn techniques to introduce and speculate on the buildings that were not photographed.
For example, how many servants and bodyguards are there in the manor, and where do these servants and bodyguards live?
Now that Lei Weidong has a large private hospital like Mingxin Hospital under his name, will there be dedicated private doctors and nurses in the manor? Will the appearance of the nurse be comparable to that of the Hong Kong sister?
There are also Lei Weidong's women who live in the manor. There are as many as a dozen. Will there be any conflicts if so many hostesses live together? How do they call each other?
Should we call them like the eldest lady, second lady, and third lady in a big family, or should we use the titles of queen and concubine to distinguish them like the ancient palaces?
In short, there are many such questions. After the newspaper raised the question, it also conducted a special analysis below and gave several answers. Anyway, it is how to attract attention.
As for the results, it goes without saying.
Whether it was "Oriental Daily" or "Sing Tao Daily", there was a rush of buying the next day. Many people followed others to read the newspapers after not buying the newspapers.
Its popularity has led major newspapers to print more copies in order to meet everyone's needs.
There are many reasons for this situation. First of all, the citizens of Xiangjiang like newspapers and even gossip news. Otherwise, they would not be able to support hundreds of newspapers and periodicals with a population of several million.
The second is that the rose garden has always been a hot spot of public attention.
Although Lei Weidong has always kept a low profile, wherever the rose garden covering an area of dozens of hectares is placed, he cannot keep a low profile even if he wants to, just like in the mainland a few decades later.
Although it has kept a low profile and said that it is a developing country, it has not yet solved the problem of food and clothing for everyone.
