At Seoul Airport, the reception team headed by Kim Chang-koo, an expert from the National Museum, immediately rushed over after seeing several young people walking out of the airport exit.
“Thank you, Expert Kim!”
Li Yang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and shook it briefly with Jin Changjiu.
This famous expert from the National Museum of Korea was picked up by Li Yang at the airport. On the fifth day after he decided to come to South Korea, Li Yang happened to receive an invitation letter from South Korea to wait for Bai Ming's exhibition to be completed.
After that, Li Yang immediately set off for South Korea.
In more than ten days, the old man's investigation yielded more detailed information.
The Korean boss Gu Dongcheng did not like jade much as much as ancient jade. His favorite was ancient jade. Even if Li Yang had such a treasure, he would not be able to exchange it with him.
For treasures that have reached a certain period of time, not to mention that the country does not allow them to leave the country, Li Yang will not allow such things to be lost in his hands. There are not many treasures left by the ancestors. If you go out, you will lose one thing.
.
However, this person also has a common characteristic among many people in the circle.
That is, you can’t walk away from something good when you see it.
This is especially serious for Ju Dongcheng. When he sees a treasure he likes, he will try every means to get it. The old man has investigated a secret about him these days.
He once forced a family to a desperate situation because of someone else's heirloom. Unfortunately, he only knew this and had no concrete evidence. Otherwise, he could have used this to do something.
"Mr. Li, we have made arrangements for the hotel, please come first!"
Jin Changjiu, who was picking up the plane, greeted Li Yang with a smile. This gold expert had participated in a treasure appraisal conference in Canada and knew Li Yang, so he asked him to pick him up at the plane.
However, because he had participated in that event, he knew and understood Li Yang better.
Unlike those arrogant experts in China, he looked down upon Li Yang at all, thinking that Li Yang was too young and all his achievements were just bragging.
He understands better than anyone how powerful Li Yang is. Hundreds of experts from all over the world, so many treasures, and only four people can authenticate everything.
And among these four people, Li Yang's performance is still the best.
"Thanks!"
Li Yang nodded slightly, Wang Jiajia kept holding his arm, and Liu Gang stood beside him.
Haidong and Zhao Yong stood quietly behind them. The two bodyguards were very competent. After the museum activities were over, they were freed and they could finally continue to accompany Li Yang around.
Rather than protecting those treasures, the two of them are more willing to follow Li Yang. If they follow Li Yang, many wonderful things will happen.
The hotel is not far away. The Koreans are not stingy this time. They have prepared a large suite in a five-star hotel for Li Yang. In fact, the happiest thing about Li Yang being able to come to this event is the Korean side.
After all, Li Yang is quite famous in China and even the whole world.
This time, it was the World Exchange Conference held by the National Museum of Korea. Recently, influenced by the Canadian International Treasure Appraisal Conference, many countries have held similar events.
For example, the last one held in Yunnan, China, was also an international event.
However, these activities cannot be compared with those in Canada. Now the Koreans are unwilling to be lonely and have organized a similar event and sent invitations to famous experts from all over the world.
As a new world-class expert, Li Yang was naturally invited, but the Koreans did not expect that Li Yang immediately agreed upon receiving the invitation and came to South Korea in advance.
Even those who questioned and did not believe Li Yang were somewhat complacent at this moment, thinking that this was a very honorable thing.
"Mr. Li, we have several receptions the night after tomorrow. I hope you can attend!"
After sending Li Yang into the room, Jin Changjiu said respectfully.
His respect for Li Yang came from the bottom of his heart, but when the other people around him saw that Li Yang was so young, they always had a little contempt in their eyes.
In the collecting circle, age is also a kind of capital. Li Yang is younger than any of them, so it is naturally difficult for him to get their attention.
"Don't worry, I will go!"
Li Yang smiled slightly and received an accurate reply from Li Yang, and Jin Changjiu left happily.
He didn't know that even if Jin Changjiu didn't invite him, he would come to this cocktail party. The reason why he came to Korea in advance was just for this cocktail party.
Gu Dongcheng will also attend this cocktail party and will display some of his treasures. The old man had inquired in advance that among the treasures on display was the Star Chasing Sword.
"Brother Li, the room is fine!"
Haidong walked around carefully, checking every place, and finally said something to Li Yang.
This is not because Li Yang pretended to be arrogant and deliberately raised the security level to the director level. He came with a mission this time, and he also has a lot of secrets on his body. You still have to make the preparations you need to do, and be cautious.
none.
At noon the next day, Li Yang reappeared at the airport.
Also coming to the airport this time was Director Wu of the National Museum of Korea, the organizer. However, the status of this director is not high. There are many influential figures in Korea including him. He is closely related to domestic museums.
Compared to Dean Huang of the Forbidden City, he is far behind.
Curator Wu didn't know Li Yang, but people around him did. Seeing Li Yang also come to the airport, the curator was slightly surprised, but he didn't particularly care.
He simply said hello to Li Yang and stood aside.
If it weren't for the fact that they were the organizers and it would be rude not to speak after seeing him, the curator would probably pretend not to have seen Li Yang. This could be felt from the flat tone in his greeting to Li Yang.
"Director, Mr. Lin is here!"
The people around Director Wu suddenly pointed forward, and several people came out of the station. The leader was a very energetic middle-aged man.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Li Yang also had a faint smile on his face.
Li Yang showed up at the airport today to pick up someone, and the person he wanted to pick up was also the person in front of him, Lin Lang.
Before Lin Lang reached the exit, he looked around. After seeing Li Yang, his pace obviously accelerated a lot. At the same time, Director Wu and Li Yang also walked slowly towards the exit.
go.
"Mr. Lin, welcome to South Korea. Your arrival will make us shine!"
Curator Wu took the lead. He first extended his hand to Lin Lang with a smile. In his eyes, Lin Lang from Canada was naturally much better than Li Yang from China.
"Thanks!"
Lin Lang smiled politely, shook the extended hand tightly, said briefly, and glanced back.
Li Yang was now standing behind them. Seeing Li Yang, the smile on Lin Lang's face was obviously much brighter.
After apologizing to Director Wu, Lin Lang immediately walked back, hugged Li Yang first, and then stood there and chatted happily.
"You kid, what kind of thing did you do? Don't say you have a good relationship with them just to help them. I know you have never dealt with them!"
Lin Lang leaned close to Li Yang's ear and asked softly, with a little doubt on his face.
In fact, the reason why Lin Lang came to participate in this event in South Korea this time was purely because of Li Yang. After he received the invitation letter, he put the matter aside and prepared to be politely refused.
But at this moment he received a call from Li Yang, who asked him to come to this event.
This made him finally change his mind and finally agreed to South Korea's invitation.
It can also be said that he appeared here because of Li Yang's face, not Director Wu. There is naturally a clear difference in his attitude towards the two.
The two people were reminiscing and chatting there. Director Wu and the people around him at the exit looked extremely embarrassed and ugly.
The person they wanted to pick up actually treated them like nothing and started chatting with other people, still with the people they had ignored before. There was even a burning feeling on Director Wu's face.
You know, they are the organizers, and you are here to participate in their event this time.
They were angry, but they didn't dare to really offend Lin Lang.
Lin Lang's international influence is much stronger than that of Li Yang, especially in this circle. This can be seen from the success of the International Treasure Appraisal Conference in Canada.
If it were hosted unilaterally by the Canadian government, it would be absolutely impossible for so many people to go, let alone so many top experts.
Many people went there for Lin Lang's sake, including Li Yang.
"Mr. Lin, the hotel has been prepared for you. The presidential suite is prepared for you!"
Curator Wu winked at the person next to him, and that person immediately walked to Lin Lang's side and whispered something.
"presidential suite?"
Lin Lang asked softly, and Li Yang slowly turned his head.
The person who picked him up at the airport was just an expert, while the person who picked up Lin Lang was the curator. The room prepared for him was an ordinary suite, while Lin Lang's was the presidential suite.
From these points, it can be seen that Koreans do not attach special importance to their arrival, they just want their own fame.
In this case, it is even more impossible for Li Yang to do something hot and cold. Anyway, the real purpose of his visit this time is not an exchange meeting, as long as he can bring back the Star Chasing Sword.
It was the old man's idea to call Lin Lang here together.
Koreans are xenophobic, especially towards the Chinese. Many people look down on the Chinese. This country, which has been a vassal state of China for thousands of years, always wants to prove to the outside world that it is better than the Chinese, so its approach is inevitably a bit extreme.
However, it was different when Lin Lang followed him. Lin Lang was of Chinese descent, but he already had Canadian nationality, even several generations ago from his father's generation.
In addition to Lin Lang, there are several people coming this time. They are all here purely for Li Yang. To put it simply, they are here to support Li Yang so that Li Yang can make his plans more convenient.
Looking at it now, the old man's considerations are really reasonable. A simple pick-up at the airport can reveal many problems.
