Chapter 686 The legacy of Old Summer Palace
"Okay, then I'll go down and take a look right away. If Mr. Lu is still there, then invite him up." Lin Haitao agreed immediately.
He Qing nodded and said, "Well, go ahead."
After saying that, Lin Haitao turned around and walked out of the room. After about five minutes, he came back.
Besides him, there was another person following behind.
That person was none other than the business celebrity that He Qing had met in front of the hotel not long ago, the patriotic collector Lu Zhenyu!
Seeing that Lin Haitao really invited Lu Zhenyu up, He Qing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would be so patient and that he would reject him so much. He was still waiting there, probably waiting for him to go down, and then find an opportunity to strike up a conversation and request.
.
He Qing was indeed a little moved by the other party's sincerity.
"Congratulations, brother." After walking in, Lu Zhenyu nodded to He Qing politely.
He Qing stood up and greeted politely: "Mr. Lu, please sit down."
After asking Lu Zhenyu to sit down, Lin Haitao was busy serving tea to entertain him.
Lu Zhenyu said with a smile: "Hey, w■ww. Brother, I really didn't expect that you would invite me here. Thank you so much."
He was obviously very happy. He Qing took the initiative to invite him to meet and discuss, which was undoubtedly a surprise.
He Qing shook his head and said: "You're welcome. Mr. Lu, I was sorry down there just now because we didn't recognize you and thought you were a stranger of unknown origin."
When he thought of his previous indifferent attitude towards Lu Zhenyu, he felt a little guilty.
Lu Zhenyu hurriedly shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, I can understand."
He Qing said: "It's good if you can understand. I'll tell you the truth. I have no choice but to hide my true identity here, so I'm very sorry for neglecting you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Zhenyu waved his hands repeatedly, "As long as you are willing to talk to me now, I will be very happy."
He Qing asked: "How did you know that I stayed in this hotel? Did Mr. Tang, who runs an antique shop in the Champs Elysees Street, tell you? You should be good friends with Mr. Tang, right?"
Except for Mr. Tang and Li Wenchun, no one in the industry knew that they were staying in this hotel. If they hadn't told Lu Zhenyu, who else could be there?
But there was nothing wrong with them. The person they told was not someone with evil intentions, but a patriot who was famous all over the world.
He is lucky to get to know a collector like Lu Zhenyu.
Speaking of which, he had to thank the people who introduced Lu Zhenyu to him.
Lu Zhenyu didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes, Tang Junyuan is my friend, and he is also my best expert friend in Switzerland."
He admitted that he got the news from Mr. Tang. He Qing asked: "So, he really told you the news?"
There was no surprise, so he could rest assured that no one else knew where he lived.
Lu Zhenyu replied: "Yes, Mr. Tang told me. In the afternoon, I went to see him if I had something to do. He was very happy and insisted on taking me to drink. While drinking, he told me everything. He said that there was an expert
I helped him and identified the porcelain that was tainted. He would not lose this lawsuit. I couldn't believe it at the time, and I was also very curious. I asked him who this expert was and asked him for a long time.
You just told me, so I came here to ask you for help."
He Qing suddenly said: "So that's it."
It seems that Mr. Tang did not intend to reveal his residence, but subconsciously said it when he was drunk.
Thinking about it, it was nothing. He Qing felt relieved and no longer had any doubts.
Lu Zhenyu said quickly: "Brother He, it is a great honor for me to see you and get to know you in a foreign country! To tell you the truth, I have heard about your deeds. When I chatted with Brother Tang,
He often mentions you, and we both admire you very much. We once wanted to go to Jiangzhou to visit you, but because I have too many things to do and don’t have time, I put the matter aside for a long time. I didn’t expect that we would meet abroad today.
It’s so unexpected and so happy to meet you!”
He Qing said: "You think too highly of me. In fact, I have heard of your deeds, Mr. Lu. You have collected national treasures abroad and donated them to the country. This spirit of selfless dedication is so noble. I admire you very much!"
Lu Zhenyu shook his head and said: "I am just trying my best. I think that China has a long history of five thousand years, a vast land and rich resources, and has collected countless treasures. However, I have experienced the tragedies of modern times, especially the late Qing Dynasty since the Opium War, and countless treasures.
Treasures flow out of the country and reach the United States, Europe, and Japan. Now most of these important national treasures are collected in foreign museums and art galleries. Only a few are lost among the people. If there is a chance, they can be collected and brought back to our country. They are stored in
The treasures in their museum cannot be recovered with money, they may be lost forever in this foreign country and placed in other people's museums."
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy back the things that others have collected in museums. Mr. Lu, that is the business of our ancestors. It has been hundreds of years, so don't think too much about it."
That's something we can't control. What we can do now is to find ways to take back the things. If we can, we can take back one more thing."
Lu Zhenyu said: "Yes, this is the only way."
"Mr. Lu, you said before that you were going to auction an important cultural relic. What kind of treasure is that?" He Qing suddenly asked, getting to the point.
Lu Zhenyu replied: "In this auction, I plan to auction two things, one is porcelain and enamel from the Qing Dynasty, and the other is a very important cultural relic, the Qianlong period scroll "View of the Old Summer Palace"."
""View of the Old Summer Palace"?" He Qing was slightly surprised.
"Yes, it's "Old Summer Palace Scenery", one of the lost national treasures of the Old Summer Palace." Lu Zhenyu nodded solemnly.
Then he added: "Including the enamel, I am actually not very sure about the two ancient Chinese treasures that I am going to auction. Originally, I wanted to ask Brother Tang to help me palm my eyes, but I didn't expect that I would be able to do it."
Knowing that you have arrived in Switzerland, when I heard this, I rushed over without stopping. I just hope that you can come forward to help me identify and identify. See if there is anything wrong with those two treasures. If you say there is no problem, then I can take pictures with confidence.
I have photographed a lot of cultural relics before, but many of them have problems. They are either new imitations or old imitations, and they are not genuine anyway. So I have a shadow in my heart. I always have doubts when I participate in auctions, so I just want to take pictures for myself.
It doesn’t matter if I collect it, it doesn’t matter much, but if it’s found to be a fake after I donate it to the country, then where can I put my face?”
He Qing did not answer but asked: "You said the preview of the auction will be held tonight?"
"Yes, it's tonight, starting at seven o'clock." Lu Zhenyu nodded, "I don't know if you have time. Can you drive over to the auction company and have a look? You have a sharp eye, I'm sure it will be enough to take a look, with your help
Palm Eye, I don’t have any worries and can take photos with confidence.”
He Qing said with a straight face: "I do have very important things to do these two days and I can't go out. But since you came to ask me for help in person, I still have to help you."
The preview exhibition is held tonight. Hua Hai called tomorrow, so there is no conflict in time. The only thing He Qing is worried about is that he will attract other people's attention by showing up. What if the kidnappers find out and alert them?
That's very bad.
But that possibility is probably unlikely. Besides, he can disguise himself so that it's not easy for people to recognize him.
"That's great, thank you so much!" Lu Zhenyu thanked him hurriedly.
He Qing shook his head and said: "You're welcome. I'll do my best. I hope I can help you."
"It's definitely no problem!" Lu Zhenyu nodded vigorously. "You have such a good sense. If you are not sure, who else is sure?"
He Qing said: "Let's talk about it after seeing it."
Although he has not done any research on the "Old Summer Palace Scenery" mentioned by Lu Zhenyu, he is also fully confident that he can make an accurate identification because he can directly see the ins and outs of the cultural relics. Unless it is a new imitation, there is no
No hint of traceable aura.
"Then when is it convenient for you to go there?" Lu Zhenyu asked excitedly.
He Qing glanced at his watch and said: "It's past four o'clock now, and there's still some time before the exhibition starts, so don't worry, let's have a meal first."
In the afternoon, they were hunting down Huahai's gang of criminals. They hadn't eaten yet and were a little hungry.
Lu Zhenyu said hurriedly: "I'll treat you two to dinner."
He Qing shook his head and smiled: "If you come to see me, then you are a guest. Of course I will treat you to dinner. Let's go and chat while we eat."
At that moment, he and Lin Haitao took Lu Zhenyu to a nearby Chinese restaurant for dinner.
After eating, they set off and rushed directly to the auction company Lu Zhenyu mentioned.
The auction company was a bit far from the hotel where He Qing and the others were staying, and they arrived at half past six.
The exhibition was about to start in almost half an hour. Under the leadership of Lu Zhenyu, He Qing and Lin Haitao walked into the auction company and quickly arrived at the exhibition hall.
Although it officially started at seven o'clock, the exhibition had already been arranged and some people were already visiting it.
This is a relatively large art auction company with a certain reputation internationally, so the treasures displayed at the preview are dazzling and beautiful.
He Qing also caught a group of relatively strong "treasure lights", indicating that there were indeed many rare treasures in them.
"Brother He, the piece of porcelain I plan to take a photo of has been displayed. Please help me take a look at it first to see if there are any problems." Lu Zhenyu said bluntly.
He Qing nodded and said: "Okay, let's take a look at that thing first."
As he spoke, he followed Lu Zhenyu to a display cabinet. Inside the glass display cabinet was a beautiful piece of porcelain.
But when he saw the piece of porcelain clearly, He Qing couldn't help but be surprised, and said to himself: "There is such a thing!"
