The weather in *** is getting hotter day by day, and by the beginning of June, the temperature has reached over 30 degrees. Compared with the courtyard houses in the center of the city, the tree-lined manors in the suburbs are more popular with people.
Even the White Lion family has moved there, preparing for a protracted war.
"Dingguang Museum" has now become the first large-scale museum in China that integrates Chinese and foreign art, attracting tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world every day.
The sketches of Picasso, the most respected international art master, and the mysterious and strange ancient Egyptian gold masks add many highlights to the "Dingguang Museum".
Thanks to the popularity of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", the Pirates Pavilion is a must-visit place for tourists. The majestic golden anchor, shining gold coins, mysterious treasure maps, and shining ancient jewelry make people deeply attracted by the movie.
Attracted the attention of tourists.
Even the National Palace Museum, the leading domestic museum, has also put down its arrogance and negotiated with the Dingguang Museum many times, requesting exchange of exhibits on a small scale.
The press conferences and academic exchanges held by Zhuang Rui have produced huge economic benefits. In just the two months from April to June, the number of people visiting the museum reached 2 million, directly economic
The income is as high as nearly 80 million yuan.
However, this greatly exceeded the reception capacity of Dingguang Museum. Zhuang Rui bought the green belt and garden area around the museum, and now the second phase of the museum is under construction.
Of course, Zhuang Rui didn't care about the specific matters. With Huangfu Yun and others working hard, he became a hands-off shopkeeper. After he was free, Zhuang Rui entered the campus again and continued his studies.
However, after experiencing this unforgettable trip to the island, Zhuang Rui changed his research direction. The topic he is currently working on is about ancient Chinese and foreign ocean shipwrecks.
The undersea treasures he saw when he returned home made Zhuang Rui feel itchy all the time. If it weren't for his family's worries, he might have organized people to hunt for treasures in the high seas near the South China Sea.
Zhuang Rui's classes for this semester have ended, and Yaya has begun her summer vacation. After discussing with his mother, the whole family, including Peng Fei and Zhang's mother and Li's sister-in-law, came to live in the manor.
A different situation would have made the children extremely happy. The little girl was having a water fight with King Kong in the swimming pool. In the end, she lost and simply climbed on King Kong's shoulders. The big one and the small one formed a sharp contrast.
"Nanny, slow down, you girl, you are going to school next year, and you are still so crazy..."
Ouyang Wan looked at her granddaughter and kept shouting beside the swimming pool. She was afraid that King Kong would hurt her little girl.
"It's okay, King Kong is a good boy!"
Nannan replied crisply. Her compliment made King Kong very excited. He lifted the little girl up with a big slap and walked around the swimming pool. The excited little guy screamed.
In the corner of the swimming pool, there is a family of white lions. The white lions always like harsh winters, but they like to soak in the water most in summer. The two-month-old mastiff cub is also splashing in the water.
Yaya, who has a quiet nature, watched from the sidelines. When the two young mastiffs lost strength, they were sent to the pool to rest.
Zhuang Rui's son and daughter, Fang Fangyuan, were under the umbrella by the swimming pool, stretching out their arms and kicking their legs to watch others playing. The two little guys were very lively. If they hadn't been fixed on the lounge chairs, they might not have done it this time.
I climbed into the swimming pool.
"My daughter has grown up too..."
Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing were sitting on the lounge chairs by the swimming pool, watching the children playing with happy faces.
Zhuang Rui now lives a very fulfilling life every day. Even getting up in the middle of the night to change his child's diaper is a real experience of being a father.
Sitting on the right side of Zhuang Rui are Zhao Guodong and Zhuang Min. The business in Pengcheng is basically stable, and Zhao Guodong doesn't need to watch them all day long. No, the couple missed their daughter, so they came to *** to stay for a while.
.
Sitting on the left side of Zhuang Rui are Peng Fei and Zhang Qian. They got married last month, and Zhang Qian also found out that she was pregnant. Peng Fei was so excited that he almost made Zhang Qian quit her job.
"Brother Zhuang, can we discuss not letting me study again next semester?" Peng Fei said to Zhuang Rui with a bitter look on his face.
"Don't even think about it. You don't even have a bachelor's degree. Is it easy for me to get you to study at Beijing University?"
Zhuang Rui glanced at Peng Fei. This kid didn't even need to learn the crooked ways. He could understand it at a glance and could speak two or three languages. However, he just refused to study. Zhuang Rui also planned to train Peng Fei so that he could learn the language in the future.
To manage the affairs of the museum.
"Why should I read so many books? I will follow you from now on anyway..." Peng Fei muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Mom, your godson doesn't like studying and says it's useless. Why don't you educate him..."
Zhuang Rui ignored Peng Fei and turned to shout at his mother. Peng Fei was so frightened that he stood up and plunged into the swimming pool.
Although Ouyang Wan is the godmother, when thinking about it, Peng Fei feels that even his biological parents when they were alive were not as powerful as this godmother.
Peng Fei's move caused a burst of laughter. Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, he heard the cell phone that his son used as a toy ring.
"No, let's play with this..."
Zhuang Rui stuffed a pacifier into his son's mouth and coaxed the phone over to him.
"Hello, who's there?"
Seeing that the phone number was a landline in Hebei, Zhuang Rui felt a little strange. He guessed that it was Mr. Li who was playing in the black market. Old Li was very good at doing things. Some time ago, he sent Zhuang Rui a set of tools for cooking eagles. Although
Zhuang Rui couldn't use it, but he appreciated it.
"Brother Zhuang, this is Lao Xu, Xu Guoqing!" A cheerful voice came from the phone.
In recent times, Zhuang Rui has become increasingly stable. Even Huangfu Yun rarely calls him brother in private. Except for some old friends, Xu Guoqing calls him brother in silence.
"Xugong, I called you three times some time ago, but you didn't answer..."
Zhuang Rui took Qin Xuanbing on a trip to Hokkaido last month. When he saw a ceramics company in Japan claiming to have copied ancient porcelain from a thousand years ago, Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered Cizhou Porcelain.
, I called Xu Guoqing several times in a row, but he didn't have time to answer the phone, and he was still as a little out of touch with the world as before.
"Brother Zhuang, come out, come out..."
Xu Guoqing didn't even think about Zhuang Rui's call. At this time, his mind was full of excitement and his speech was a bit incoherent.
Zhuang Rui frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"I have imitated the Cizhou official kiln. Although there is no physical comparison, compared with the broken porcelain pieces unearthed in Cizhou, the degree of simulation can reach more than 99%!"
Xu Guoqing was like a child who got 100% on the test and reported the report card to his parents, explaining the whole story clearly in one breath.
In fact, although Xu Guoqing is a bit stubborn, he is not completely unsophisticated. Zhuang Rui has invested more than 20 million in his laboratory since last year. Xu Guoqing said nothing, but in his heart
There is still a lot of pressure.
When Zhuang Rui heard about this, he felt happy and asked quickly: "How many were burned?"
Cizhou kiln plays a decisive role in the history of Chinese ceramics, especially folk ceramics. However, during the modern wars, the secret firing recipes of the ancient official kilns were lost, cutting off its inheritance. This is also a sad thing for many Chinese people.
Therefore, even when funds were most tight, Zhuang Rui did not cut off Xu Guoqing's research funding. Now that the results have been achieved, Zhuang Rui is of course happy.
"Brother, these...this...just made two exquisite pieces. The others have some flaws, but don't worry, now that I have completely mastered the heat, I believe that the success rate of subsequent firings will be very high...
"
Xu Guoqing was a little embarrassed when he heard Zhuang Rui's question. He spent more than 20 million and only produced two objects. Not to mention that these things were modern imitations, even if they were real ancient ceramics, many of them were not worth it.
price.
"Two pieces?"
Zhuang Rui pondered for a while and said: "Xugong, you must keep these two pieces of porcelain a secret. Don't tell anyone, and don't continue to bake them. I will send a car to pick you up right away. Take these two pieces of porcelain with you."
Let’s have sex with two pieces of porcelain..."
When Xu Guoqing heard Zhuang Rui's solemn words, he quickly said: "Brother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Those researchers don't know about it. Don't send a car. Give me the address and I'll take it."
Take your things and go by yourself..."
"Nacheng, please pay attention to safety on the road..."
Zhuang Rui didn't force it. Xu Guoqing was in his forties, so he couldn't even recognize the road, right? After telling the other party his address, Zhuang Rui hung up the phone.
"Husband, what's going on?"
Qin Xuanbing looked a little excited after seeing Zhuang Rui answer the phone call, and couldn't help asking strangely.
"It's okay, I want to play chess. Anyway, I have nothing to do during the summer vacation, haha..."
Zhuang Rui smiled proudly, stood up with the phone, found a number and dialed it.
"Mr. Li? I'm Zhuang Rui from ***, yes, it's me. Do you have time these two days? I have something to ask you for help..."
Zhuang Rui's call was to Boss Li, a man who works both black and white in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The matter he was thinking about now would really not be possible without Boss Li's cooperation.
"Hey, Mr. Zhuang, look what you said, if you have something to do, you can just give me your orders. How can I help you or not?"
When Li Dali heard that it was Zhuang Rui's call, he quickly withdrew his big hand that was touching the chest of a young star and stood up. His level of respect was no less than that of Zhuang Rui right in front of him.
After what happened in Gaoxian County, Li Dali got acquainted with several powerful people in Shishi City, and his business has been going very smoothly recently.
