Chapter 696 The World’s Most Expensive Artwork (3)
After walking out of the hospital, He Qing took out his mobile phone and called Lu Zhenyu. He was already preparing to visit the other party's house. +◆
After receiving the call, Lu Zhenyu said happily: "Brother He, is there any good thing in calling me? Are you free now?"
He Qing replied: "Yes, I have time in the afternoon."
Lu Zhenyu said excitedly: "Then it's not convenient for you to come over? Come to my house and have a casual meal. To be honest, I still have a lot to ask you. If I am lucky enough to invite you to my house, I will definitely
I need to ask for advice."
He Qing agreed without hesitation: "Yes, but I don't know which direction your mansion is in? How should I get there?"
Lu Zhenyu said quickly: "You don't need to look for me. I can just send someone to pick you up. Are you in the hotel now?"
He Qing said: "It's not in a hotel, but in a hospital. Because my friend was injured and hospitalized, I just went in to visit him."
"What happened? Is your friend okay?" Lu Zhenyu asked with concern.
He Qing replied: "It's nothing serious. You can be discharged from the hospital after recuperating for a while."
"That's good." Lu Zhenyu said happily, "Which hospital is your friend in? I will send someone to pick you up right away."
He Qing told the other party the hospital he was in, and Lu Zhenyu immediately agreed, then said goodbye and hung up the phone.
After waiting for about half an hour after the phone call, He Qing suddenly received a call. The caller was a strange man. The man claimed to be Lu Zhenyu's secretary and came to greet him at Lu Zhenyu's order.
Soon, He Qing saw the man at the entrance of the hospital. He was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking gentle.
"Mr. He, Mr. Lu asked me to pick you up. Please get in the car." After the introduction, Secretary Huang politely invited.
"Well, let's go." He Qing nodded in agreement, and then followed Secretary Huang towards a car parked by the square. It was a high-end and luxurious Bentley. It clearly highlighted Lu Zhenyu's status as a wealthy businessman.
After getting in the car, Secretary Huang drove He Qing straight to the Lu family.
Lu Zhenyu's residence is located on the edge of the city, and we drove there half an hour later.
The car arrived at a manor with Chinese garden characteristics. The manor covers a very large area, and the yard inside is almost as big as a football field.
Surrounded by green trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant, the environment is also very beautiful.
"Hey brother, welcome!"
As soon as He Qing got out of the car, Lu Zhenyu, who had been waiting eagerly in the courtyard for a long time, came up to him with a smile on his face and greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Lu, it's an honor to see you again." He Qing also greeted politely.
Then the two shook hands warmly.
"Brother He, how do you feel about my place?" Lu Zhenyu pointed around the manor and asked cheerfully, seeming a little proud.
"Very good!" He Qing admired from the bottom of his heart, "It's rare to see such a big and beautiful manor!"
Lu Zhenyu said with excitement: "I built this new manor. I bought the land and built a house myself, and I just moved in this year."
While they were chatting, a tall young woman walked slowly over from the door of the villa building.
When the woman came closer, He Qing could see clearly that she was a foreign woman with blue eyes, a high nose, and white skin.
When they met for the first time, He Qing naturally didn't recognize the woman, but he could tell. This woman should have a close relationship with Lu Zhenyu. She was most likely his daughter, of mixed Chinese and foreign descent.
"Honey..." As she came closer, the woman greeted Lu Zhenyu with a sweet smile. Since she was speaking in a foreign language, He Qing couldn't quite understand. He only felt that the other party seemed to call Lu Zhenyu "honey".
When the woman came over, Lu Zhenyu hugged her generously and said to He Qing with a smile: "Brother He, let me introduce to you, my wife is German, you can just call her Addis.
"
Then he turned around and spoke a few words to the woman in English, presumably introducing He Qing to her.
"Hello." After the introduction, the woman named "Edith" said hello to He Qing in half-baked Chinese.
"Hello." He Qing nodded to her in greeting without being humble or condescending.
When Lu Zhenyu introduced that the foreign woman was his wife, He Qing was shocked and quite surprised. He didn't expect that Lu Zhenyu was so fashionable and would find such a young and beautiful girl as his wife, and she was such a beautiful girl.
A foreign girl.
Although the foreign girl in front of me is inferior to Mr. Tang's mixed-race daughter Haitang in terms of figure and appearance, she still has a model figure and outstanding appearance.
Being able to find such a young and beautiful partner is a blessing to Lu Zhenyu, but that's right. He is so rich, and there are many beauties from home and abroad who want to join his family.
But I don’t know if this Addis is after the Lu Zhenyu family’s wealth, or if she really has feelings for him.
But this is a matter between the two of them. They are willing to do it, and no one else can interfere.
As for Lu Zhenyu's family situation, He Qing doesn't need to know so clearly. He is not here to check the household registration and find out gossip, but is just interested in the treasures collected by the Lu family and wants to take a look.
"Brother He, please come and sit at home." Lu Zhenyu immediately invited He Qing into the house.
"Thank you." He Qing responded politely, and then he walked into the living room of the main building of the villa under the enthusiastic guidance of Lu Zhenyu and others.
The interior decoration of the Lu family's house is naturally very luxurious and grand, but there is a Chinese classical atmosphere everywhere, which is very consistent with his status as a great collector.
"Brother He, please sit down." After entering the living room, Lu Zhenyu asked He Qing to take a seat, and he and Edith sat down to chat with He Qing.
After a while, a Filipino-looking servant came over to serve tea and entertain the distinguished guest He Qing.
"Brother He, it's really thanks to your help this time. With your sharp eyes, you were able to identify the true identity of those two things in Lushan at once, which saved me from being blinded and prevented those national treasures from getting away." Lu Zhenyu said with a smile.
Said, he also thanked He Qing for yesterday's auction.
He Qing shook his head and said: "Don't be so polite, just don't have any regrets."
Lu Zhenyu solemnly nodded and said: "I have no regrets. I plan to return to China next month with the "View of the Old Summer Palace" and present it to the cultural relics department. Important cultural relics like that are not available to ordinary collectors like us.
How valuable it is, and only when it reaches the National Museum and becomes a cultural relic that bears witness to history, it will have greater significance."
He Qing nodded vigorously and said: "Mr. Lu is so right. If it is a cultural relic, it should be turned over to the national treasury and contribute to the cause of cultural relics. Your spirit of selfless dedication is so admirable."
He really had to admire Lu Zhenyu, because he did not have the same ideological level as the other party, but also, what the other party wanted to donate was the "View of the Old Summer Palace", which was indeed an important cultural relic. If that thing fell into his hands, he would also
I will consider a free donation. Of course, if it is an ordinary cultural relic or an antique with a low cultural value, then it seems that there is no need. Anyway, it will be the same regardless of who collects it, and it has no special significance.
"This is just what I can do." Lu Zhenyu shook his hand and said, "Compared to the discovery of the famous tomb of Cao Cao and the greatest archaeologist in the new century, He Laidi, my contribution is really insignificant and nothing."
He Qing shook his head and said: "How could it be? Your contribution has been great."
After the two of them showed humility to each other, Lu Zhenyu suddenly got down to business and said solemnly: "I invite you here today. Actually, I really want to ask you something."
"Whatever it is, you might as well say it directly. You must tell me everything you know." He Qing responded.
Lu Zhenyu said: "To tell you the truth, I received a lot of fakes in the past, and the losses were not small. Since the eye-punching, many of the cultural relics and antiques I received later were not dared to be donated directly to the cultural relics department of our country, for fear that they would be stolen.
What's the problem, so I still have some antiques in my house that have not yet been donated but are ready to be donated. Haha, since I invited you, an expert, today, I must ask you to help me take a look at those antiques.
Antiques. Hey brother, is it okay?"
He Qing replied seriously: "I have a principle for appraising antiques for others, that is, I only show it to my friends. Mr. Lu is a person I admire. I really want to make you a friend. Of course I am willing to help. I will do my best in everything."
.”
"That's great!" Lu Zhenyu said happily, "I am worried about this matter, and I am not reassured by the appraisal results made by other appraisers. I am only reassured by your eyesight."
He Qing shook his head and said modestly: "You've given me a reward. It depends on what it is. I can't see everything accurately."
"Don't be modest." Lu Zhenyu said with a smile, "You have a great reputation. Everyone knows that you have a sharp eye and there is no antique that cannot be identified."
He Qing said: "Where are those treasures? Let's go take a look first."
Hearing what Lu Zhenyu said, he couldn't help but become a little curious, and couldn't wait to see the cultural relics and antiques collected by Lu Zhenyu.
His intuition told him that there must be some huge treasure hidden in Lu Zhenyu's house, which was priceless.
He had this premonition from the moment he stepped into the Lu family's mansion, although he had not caught the obvious "treasure light" yet.
"Okay." Lu Zhenyu agreed hurriedly, "The things are in the collection room on the second floor. Brother He, please take them."
After saying that, he stood up and led He Qing towards the collection room on the second floor.
After a while they came to the collection room. When they walked in, He Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. The huge collection room was full of jewels and jewels. It was really a dazzling array of things.
