Chapter 508 Opening the largest private museum (3)
Jingnan City is not far from Jiangzhou. About three hours later, He Qing and Lin Haitao drove back to this long-awaited metropolis.
"Brother Qing, now that we have arrived in Jiangzhou, where will you go first? Go home or?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing replied without hesitation: "This place is closer to the Antique Street, so let's go to the Antique Street first and then go back later."
Lin Haitao said: "Well, okay."
So the two of them drove straight to the direction of the antique street. In less than half an hour, they entered the antique street and parked the car in front of the "Yi Gu Xuan".
When he came back this time, He Qing didn't notify anyone in advance, nor did he tell Gu Qing. He just wanted to give him a surprise. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so long and missed each other very much.
After the car stopped, Gu Qing, who was busy in the store, probably didn't notice it, so she didn't come out to check the situation.
When he got out of the car, He Qing had a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, which he had prepared on the way. He reunited with his beloved woman after a long separation, so naturally he wanted to send roses as a token of appreciation.
"Brother Qing, Sister Gu Qing will definitely be very happy later. This is a great surprise!" Lin Haitao said with a smile.
He Qing smiled and said: "I hope she likes it. Haitao, let's go in."
After that, he walked towards the door of the antique shop first. At this moment, he was very excited. He hadn't been back for so long and saw the shop he had worked so hard to run again, especially since he would soon see the woman he thought about day and night. He
Why not be excited?
When He Qing walked in the door eagerly, He Qing took a quick glance and saw Gu Qing squatting there carefully packing things. Looking at that graceful and familiar figure, He Qing's face was instantly filled with smiles, and a smile surged through his heart.
It means sweetness.
“Welcome!”
When she heard footsteps coming from outside the door, Gu Qing finally heard it. She thought a customer was coming, so she stood up to greet him.
"Excuse me, do you need any help?" She greeted loudly.
As she spoke, she turned her head, and when she saw clearly the person standing by the door, her expression changed instantly.
"Brother Qing?! It's you?! You...why are you back?!" After a while, Gu Qing came to his senses.
He Qing chuckled and said, "I'll be back as soon as I tell you."
As he spoke, he strode towards Gu Qing. When he walked to her, he handed over the bouquet of red roses.
Of course Gu Qing reached out to catch it. She was so excited that her face turned red and she was extremely charming.
"I thought you would be back for a few more days, but I didn't expect you would be back so soon." Gu Qing looked at He Qing with affectionate eyes and said, "Why didn't you say hello before you came back? I better prepare myself.
Welcome you."
He Qing shook his head and said: "What should I prepare? I'll come back as soon as I come back. Don't I also want to give you a surprise?"
Although He Qing and Gu Qing were separated in the past, they kept in touch by mobile phone and text message, and the contact was relatively frequent, so He Qing had told Gu Qing about the situation there and his plans.
"Well, I was indeed surprised by you." Gu Qing said with a sweet smile, her face full of sweetness and joy.
Immediately, the two hugged each other naturally.
Lin Haitao, who followed from behind, was very embarrassed when he saw this scene.
"Haitao, come in."
He was about to avoid it because he couldn't bear to disturb the sweet reunion between He Qing and Gu Qing, but He Qing suddenly called him.
"Hey!" Lin Haitao immediately agreed loudly, and then walked over with a smile on his face.
At this time, Gu Qing had already let go of his arms and looked at Lin Haitao with a shy look.
"Haitao, please sit inside." She greeted warmly.
After saying that, she walked away quickly and went to make tea for He Qing and the others.
After Gu Qing went to make tea, He Qing turned around and looked around. He saw that everything in the store was neatly packed and orderly.
Lin Haitao praised: "Sister Gu Qing takes good care of the store!"
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, she is a good shopkeeper, and I feel relieved to have her take care of 'Yi Guxuan'. It's just..."
He hesitated to speak, his eyes looking thoughtful.
"Just what?" Lin Haitao asked quickly.
He Qing paused and replied: "It's just that I feel that our antique store is too small and the scale is not good enough."
Lin Haitao seemed to understand what he meant and said with a smile: "Brother Qing, you feel that 'Yi Guxuan' is too small and does not meet your requirements, so you want to expand its appearance, right?"
He Qing nodded and said: "Well, I have this idea, but this matter cannot be rushed. Let's do it slowly."
Lin Haitao nodded solemnly and said: "I very much agree with your idea. After all, not only do you have enough funds in your hands now, but you have also collected so many good things. Not to mention expanding the antique store, you can also open a large-scale collection."
The museum is no big deal, right?"
He Qing said: "Haitao, you and I really thought of going together. Yes, I have the idea of opening a collection or museum."
Opening a private museum is undoubtedly the greatest ideal for antique connoisseurs, but it is not an easy task. It is not something that ordinary collectors can afford. To open a museum, you must first have enough funds to operate it, and secondly, you must have enough money to operate it.
You must have a certain collection of items and be able to get them, otherwise it will only make people laugh.
"Really?" Hearing this, Lin Haitao said excitedly, "Brother Qing, do you really want to open a museum?!"
He Qing nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, actually I have thought about this problem a long time ago, but I'm afraid it's not that easy. First we have to find a suitable place, right? Opening a museum is not like opening a small antique shop. It requires a storefront
There must be a lot of space, otherwise it will be too crowded and the effect will not be achieved.”
Lin Haitao said: "This is true. But the museum is very suitable to be opened in the antique street."
"Of course." He Qing said, "It's just that it's hard to find the specific place to open a store."
Lin Haitao said, "Money can make all the difference. As long as you can pay enough rent, I don't believe you can't find a suitable place. Brother Qing, don't worry. I'll keep an eye out for you later to see if there is any place."
The larger stores are preparing to transfer or think of other ways."
He Qing agreed: "Okay, please help me keep an eye on it. Once we have a place, the plan can be started immediately."
He was so ambitious that he wanted to open a museum immediately.
But speaking of it, his conditions are indeed ripe. Funds are not a problem, nor are the cultural relics and antiques needed to be displayed. What is missing now is a space to carry it all. As the saying goes, "everything is ready, all that is needed is the east wind."
"Brother Qing, Haitao, what are you doing standing there? Come over and drink tea."
At this moment, I heard Gu Qing's eager greeting from behind.
"I know, Sister Gu Qing!" Lin Haitao agreed quickly, and then walked over with He Qing, sat down and tasted the tea that Gu Qing had just prepared. The tea she made was naturally He Qing's favorite tea.
Before he drank the tea, he smelled the fragrant aroma, and He Qing immediately became energetic.
After drinking tea and unloading some things from the car, Lin Haitao said goodbye to He Qing and Gu Qing. How dare he continue to stay here as a light bulb?
.
"Qingqing, how have you been during these days without me?" After bidding farewell to Lin Haitao, He Qing came back and asked softly.
Gu Qing nodded and said, "Very good. What about you? How are things going? I just heard from Haitao that you have gained a lot this time, right?"
"Yes, I gained a lot, even greater than the last time I went to the capital!" He Qingmei nodded with excitement.
"Really?!" Gu Qing said happily, "That's great. Brother Qing, what kind of good treasures have you found this time?"
"There are many, all kinds of treasures." He Qing replied, "Qingqing, let me show you something good. I guarantee you have never seen it before."
"What is it?" Gu Qing looked at him curiously.
He Qing said: "You will know later."
At that moment, he walked over and closed the door of the store, acting mysteriously, as if he had some big secret that he couldn't let outsiders know.
"That's it." After returning, He Qing turned on the light, then carefully took out a beautiful small box from his arms, placed it on the table and opened it.
"Wow!"
The moment the brocade box was opened, Gu Qing's eyes flashed and she was stunned.
"Brother Qing, this... what is this?!" After a long while, Gu Qing recovered from the shock and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it topaz?"
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, it is a gem, but it is not an ordinary gem, it is the king of gems, 'diamond'!"
"This is a diamond?!" Gu Qing said in surprise, "Why is it so big?! I have never heard of such a big diamond! Brother Qing, is this true?"
"Of course it's true!" He Qing nodded heavily, "This diamond is the largest diamond in Asia, it's priceless, no amount of money can buy it!"
"But how did you get it?" Gu Qing asked doubtfully.
He Qing replied: "I found a big mistake when I found it. You will definitely not think that the origin of this diamond is not in Africa, nor in other places rich in diamonds, but in our China, our China."
Diamonds produced by myself!”
"Do we have diamonds in China?" Gu Qing couldn't believe his ears. He Qing nodded and replied: "Yes, yes. I never thought about this problem before, but now I know and believe it."
Not only did he confirm this fact, but he also knew where the strange "Golden Rooster Diamond" in his hand came from. If he had time in the future, he would go to that place to have a look. Maybe he would actually find a huge diamond mine.
By then it will not just be as simple as getting a diamond, but a rich treasure can be unearthed.
