He Jie put the pendant in his hand again and looked at it carefully.
What Li Yang gave was a chilong pendant, which was a circling dragon. The whole body of the dragon was yellow, and the yellow dragon showed a majesty, like a treasure in the royal family.
After just one look, He Jie fell in love with this thing.
No matter who made it, He Jie would never let it go again, but it was even more meaningful if it came from Li Yang's hand, and it was impossible for him to give it back.
Looking at He Jie's appearance, the corners of Li Yang's mouth rose a little more.
If the things he makes can be liked and recognized by others, that is the greatest recognition of him. Li Yang's current level has indeed reached the master level, but his mentality is very different, like a jade carving apprentice.
After all, he has only been exposed to jade carving for a short time, and his level can be improved, but his mentality and experience cannot keep up, and he cannot take everything lightly like a real master.
He Jie put away the pendant with satisfaction and chatted with Li Yang about something else.
He Jieneng didn't stay long when he returned to Beijing this time, but he did give Li Yang another piece of good news. After the National Day, he would lead a team to Italy for an inspection, and the place they were going to was Milan.
This inspection will last for several days.
At that time, it happened to be the time when the big auction was held. If nothing else happened, Li Yang and He Jie could meet in Italy. Of course, both of them had their own affairs and could not be together as before.
However, it is also a happy thing to be with such a familiar person in a foreign country.
Not long after, the car arrived in front of the old man's villa. Li Yang was riding in the big red flag, which allowed him to enter and exit without any obstruction. However, the car in which Wang Jiajia and He Shanshan were riding was stopped behind and they conducted an inspection.
When I saw the old man, we exchanged pleasantries again.
Li Yang also took out another jade jewelry he made and gave it to the old man. After learning that Li Yang was already a jade carving master, the old man was also very surprised.
But he mostly laughed heartily.
If Chen Wuji and Li Yang have a master-disciple relationship, the old man and Li Yang are no longer a simple master-disciple, but more like an ancestor and grandson, with a blood relationship.
He Jie was standing nearby. When he heard the old man's hearty laughter, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Even when he came back, the old man never smiled like this. He was the eldest son and grandson.
But when he saw the wrinkles on the old man's face, which seemed to have relaxed a lot because he was happy, He Jie felt relieved again.
It's good to make the elderly happy. For the children and grandchildren, it is their wish that the elderly live happily and stay happy. Especially in families like theirs, the children cannot always be by the elderly's side.
He Shanshan and Wang Jiajia also came back. After learning about the gift from Li Yang, He Shanshan also reached out to ask for it. Li Yang gave her a small piece, hoping that she would play with it often to stabilize her temper.
Li Yang returned to Beijing this time and stayed with the old man for only one day, and then returned to his home.
In two days, his parents will come to Beijing to discuss the wedding with the Wang family. Li Yang's wedding is scheduled for New Year's Day, and they don't have much time now.
It's okay for the Li family to say that just ordinary people can hold weddings in Licheng, but the Wang family is different. After all, they are a big family with a strong background.
The marriage of a daughter from the Wang family cannot be too casual, and coupled with the relationship between the old man and the old man, this wedding is bound to be a low-key affair and will be much more lively than the engagement.
This was also a rare time when Li Yang stayed at home and did not go out.
Being with family is always the most warm, but the warm days always pass quickly. Ten days later, the old man called Li Yang over again and took him to the study alone.
"This is for you!"
There were only two people in the study, the old man and him. Li Yang was already familiar with this kind of environment. The old man must have had something else to do when he specially called him here.
Sure enough, after entering, the old man handed something to Li Yang directly.
"Cashier's check?"
After receiving what the old man handed over, Li Yang immediately screamed in surprise.
He thought about other things, but he didn't expect that the old man would give them such a thing. The amount of this bank check was not small, a full 200 million euros.
Two hundred million euros, almost two billion yuan.
Li Yang knew that the old man was rich. The old man's brother had left tens of billions of wealth to him back then. In the past few years, in the hands of the old man's daughter and the family connections, this wealth had expanded many times.
However, it is not a trivial matter to come up with two billion yuan at once. Just like Li Yang's assets have already exceeded tens of billions, but last time he couldn't even come up with more than 800 million yuan to buy land, so he had to pay dividends in advance.
This question.
"Yes, you take the money with you first. This auction is the largest auction in the world. It is estimated that there will be many of our treasures!"
The old man nodded, sat down by himself, then sighed again, and continued: "I don't agree with using money to repatriate national treasures from abroad, but the value of some treasures cannot be measured with money. If you encounter them, try your best to
Bring it back, don’t leave us any regrets!”
"I see!"
Li Yang sat next to the old man, and he understood what the old man meant.
Many antiques have been speculated up in value by international speculators, and then made money from domestic people. Not to mention Li Yang, even the old man can't do anything about this.
Therefore, the old man rarely participates in foreign auctions.
But this time is different. This is the largest underground auction in the world. It is held only once every three years. There are much more things than those public auctions.
There may be some things on the black market inside. If you don't get these treasures, you don't know when the next time you want to see them.
For example, the remaining two pieces of the three pieces of porcelain that were lost last time may appear inside. These two pieces of porcelain, even if they are bought with money, Li Yang has to buy them back.
In addition, there may be some treasures that cannot be lost at all. Such treasures are the kind that cannot be measured by money. No matter how much money is spent, they must be brought back.
In this regard, Chuanguo Yuxi is actually the best example.
Back then, the national jade seal was concealed by someone using the fog concealment method, and it was just regarded as an ordinary antique jade. The old man's brother accidentally discovered it at an auction abroad, and then bought it back at a high price and sent it back to the country.
The old man's brother just liked collecting and didn't know much about collecting. However, he felt something was wrong at the time and had extra money on hand, so he simply brought it back.
Later, after the old man and the others uncovered the Hidden Mist Technique, the true face of the national jade seal inside was revealed. At that time, everyone was glad that they had brought the treasure back, otherwise this treasure would have wandered around or been discovered by others.
, it was collected by another museum and will never come back.
This possibility is very high. Just look at the current Tian Congyun Sword to know the result. If the national jade seal falls into the hands of some people or countries that are hostile to China, there is no way to take it back.
"Just understand, don't take action casually, but there are some things that you must take action without any hesitation!"
The old man smiled slightly, this was what he was thinking. Although he had never participated in this kind of auction, he knew that there would be many treasures there.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are more good treasures than all domestic auction companies in a year.
This is the power of the big auction.
"Sword Chasing the Sun, take it if you can. If you can't take it, don't force it. We have recovered Ben Yue and Chasing Star. As long as these two swords are in our hands, sooner or later there will be a chance to reunite them!"
The old man said again.
The old man has been investigating the news about the Sun Chaser Sword ever since he got the Moon Flying Sword. This sword is now in the hands of Brother Joseph, and the focus of the old man’s investigation is Brother Joseph.
Brother Joseph was born into a French aristocratic family. Their ancestor was once an officer in the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and it was at that time that he brought the Sun Chaser Sword back from China.
During World War II, the ancestors of Joseph's brothers suffered heavy losses, and the family gradually declined.
However, those treasures brought by China have been preserved. The main reason is that these things were not taken seriously abroad at that time. At that time, what everyone was after was Western art.
Over the past few decades, through the redevelopment of Joseph's grandfather and father, their family has regained its glory. Today, the family's total assets are tens of billions of euros. Joseph's father was once the largest private mine in France.
host.
The Joseph family is mainly engaged in natural energy and farms. They have numerous mineral resources in Europe, Africa and other places, especially in Africa, where they have their presence in several major gold mines and diamond veins.
The Joseph brothers are not the only men in the family. They also have an older brother who can inherit and develop the family. Otherwise, they would not have so much time to do what they like.
First of all, this pair of brothers is not short of money, and they are not very greedy like South Korea's Gu Dongcheng. They have a sense of moderation in everything they do, and they never resort to unscrupulous means.
In addition, they also like to help people and are very popular in the European collecting community. At the same time, they are like misers and never let go of the treasures they really like.
And the most important point is that according to the old man's investigation, they have never disposed of the treasure they inherited.
They carefully treasured all the treasures left by the Joseph family. Someone once took a fancy to one of the oil paintings, offered a high price, and even offered many important treasures in exchange, but none of the Joseph brothers agreed.
Facing such a pair of brothers, even the old man doesn't have much confidence now, so he said these words to comfort Li Yang.
"Old man, I know, I won't force it, but I won't give up either!"
Li Yang nodded. In fact, he already knew about these situations, and he also understood that there was no good progress on the old man's side. However, he had two of the three Tai'a swords in his hands. This last one, Li Yang would give it a try no matter what.
.
This is not just as simple as restoring the Tai'a Sword, but also involves the major secrets of the First Tomb of Eternity.
