After seeing the two of them talking, Li Yuncong couldn't help but said loudly and enviously: "Xiaodong, I admire you so much that you didn't sell it for 40 million! If it had been me, I would have sold it to Mr. Zhao long ago.
!”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head moderately by the old man standing next to him, and scolded: "Money, what money? If you hold this kind of idea, then you are not good at collecting and appraising antiques."
You can’t go far at all!”
After listening to the old man's words, Li Yuncong touched his head and couldn't help but smile. He also respected this old man's best friend from the bottom of his heart. Of course, he also knew that the old man was also doing it for his own good, so he didn't dare.
talk to each other.
Seeing that his goal could no longer be achieved, Zhao Defa felt regretful and could only hope in his heart that Liu Dongzhen would sell this painting in the future.
After gathering his mood and raising his hand to look at his watch, Zhao Defa said with a smile: "I have been busy all morning, and it is already past twelve o'clock now! I have asked the kitchen to prepare the meal. You can stay here with me.
Go back after eating!"
After listening to what he said, Liu Dong and Li Yuncong naturally had no objections. Mr. Li nodded when he saw this. It happened that the imitation "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" got wet by him. If he wanted to roll it up and take it away, he would
You have to wait for it to dry naturally. Otherwise, it will easily cause damage to the calligraphy and painting. This is what Mr. Li does not want to see.
As a rich man with a net worth of several billion, Zhao Defa's daily quality of life is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary families. Although the food served to Liu Dong and the others cannot be said to be top-notch, it is not worse than a five-star hotel!
After eating, they chatted for a while. When Liu Dong and the others said goodbye, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Although the sun outside was still hot, in this tree-lined mountain villa, it made people feel...
I felt the rare coolness. Liu Dong couldn't help but become more determined to buy a villa here.
The car drove slowly down the winding road. Liu Dong was still sitting with Mr. Li. After tightening the cardboard box in his arms that held the replica of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Liu Dong couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Li, you have a lot of connections, can you recommend me a better poster master?"
"Haha, I will tell you even if you don't ask! However, your painting is too big, so I'm afraid ordinary posters won't be able to do it. Let me think about it and see who is suitable!" said Mr. Li.
Touching his chin covered with gray beard, his face showed a thoughtful look.
After listening to what he said, Liu Dong nodded. In fact, the reason why he wanted to find a good mounter was not only to re-mount the copy of "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" he had just obtained, but also for more reasons.
Let’s frame the crane painting he got from the Black Tiger Gang! This is the real point.
"Hey, yes! I have thought of a suitable person, but I just don't know if he is willing to take action!" Li Laoyi clapped his hands and said something in surprise at first, then a look of confusion and worry appeared on his face.
"What? Is Mr. Li very powerful?"
After listening to his words, Mr. Li nodded and said with emotion: "Vice President of the Palace Museum, Honorary President of the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Association, Honorary Professor of the Department of Traditional Chinese Painting of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the top restoration, mounting and appraisal of ancient paintings in the country
Master, my disciples are all over the antique collecting world, you can tell me if you are awesome or not!"
After listening to what the old man said, Liu Dong looked stunned. With so many names, it would be a big deal for others to get one. But this person has three or four, and they are all very powerful. The Palace Museum does not need it.
It is said that as the top museum in China, it is even famous in the world.
The Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Association has influence all over the country, and almost all the top calligraphers and painters in modern China are in this organization. As for the Central Academy of Fine Arts, it is the top art school in China. These three institutions are almost the best in all walks of life.
Top-notch, being able to become a curator, president and professor here is not something ordinary people can achieve. Any one of these titles is enough for someone to struggle for a lifetime! Of course, from these enviable titles, there are also
It can be seen that this person may not be easily seen by ordinary people.
"Then Mr. Li, we can't find other calligraphy and painting mounting masters!" Liu Dong asked weakly from the side.
"It is possible, but this imitation of Huang Binhong's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is of such high value that only in the hands of such a master can it be framed intact." Mr. Li did not want this painting to be damaged.
Any regrets, naturally think of the best people.
Looking at the expression on Liu Dong's face, Mr. Li thought for a moment and comforted him: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. After working in this industry for so many years, the old man still has some connections. When I ask a few old people,
Ask a friend, I believe this matter shouldn't be too difficult!" Of course, his confidence comes more from the valuable Huang Binhong painting in Liu Dong's hands.
As appraisers, top collectors and mounting masters, a top-notch painting is more attractive to them than any favor, which is also the source of Mr. Li's confidence.
Seeing the calm expression on the old man's face, Liu Dong opened his mouth several times, but said nothing. Instead, he kept his gratitude in his heart. He knew that this was not what the old man needed.
After leaving the mountain road, the speed of the car increased. In less than half an hour, the two cars returned to the small gate of the backyard of Lao Chenxiang Pavilion.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, please stay!" Just as the two were about to open the door and go in, Liu Zhao, who had escorted them back, quickly opened the car door and walked over.
"Oh, does Secretary Liu have anything else to do?" Mr. Li turned around and asked.
After hearing this, Liu Zhao nodded, took out two checks from his jacket pocket and handed them to Mr. Li and Liu Dong respectively, "This is a small reward from our boss to you two.
I'm afraid that you two won't want it, so I asked you to hand it over to you at this time. Please accept it! Goodbye, both of you!" After saying that, he immediately got into the car without waiting for the two of them to react, and then ordered the driver to quickly
Drive away!
Obviously, he had already received instructions from Zhao Defa before he came back. He was afraid that Mr. Li and Liu Dong would return the check in their hands, so he left in time.
However, Liu Dong really had the intention to return the check in his hand. After all, he did not sell Huang Binhong's copy of "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" to anyone, and he also asked Zhao Defa to inquire about the sale of Crouching Mountain Villa. So even if he did give
Zhao Defa identified the authenticity of the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, but he was too embarrassed to ask for any more benefits.
As for Mr. Li, the same thing happened. He made a trip but failed to provide anyone with reliable identification results. So he didn't want the check of 100,000 yuan in his hand. But looking at the car that had disappeared on the corner of the street, it was obvious that it had been returned.
Not going back.
"I didn't expect that Boss Zhao is quite good at life!" Li Yuncong, who parked the car and walked over, said with a smile.
Nodding, Mr. Li said with a smile: "Since it is Boss Zhao's kindness, let's put it away. Just remember to return this favor in the future!"
"Well, it seems that's all we have to do!" Liu Dong nodded.
"Hey, Mr. Li, are you okay now?" At this time, Li Yuncong suddenly asked with a shy face.
Hearing this, the old man looked at him with a smile and asked, "What are your plans?"
"Hehe, it's actually nothing. I think I just came to Quancheng today and I met a friend like Xiaodong who has such a good temper. I want to communicate with him. So if you have nothing to do, we are planning to go out and have some fun!"
After listening to what he said, Liu Dong had goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. However, he could guess the meaning of Li Yuncong's words. And he also had a good impression of this bold new friend.
, so after listening to what he said, he didn’t say anything.
Looking at these two juniors whom he was optimistic about, Mr. Li naturally hoped that they could interact more. So he didn't have any objections to Li Yuncong's words.
"Xiaodong, if you have nothing to do next, just take him for a walk here! You can be regarded as half a landlord here!" Mr. Li said with a smile.
"Well, it just so happens that I don't have much to do in the afternoon! However, this painting is too big, so I'll leave it here with you now, and I'll pick it up later!" It happened that he didn't have much to do in the afternoon, so he responded to Mr. Li's suggestion.
He didn't have any objections. As for the painting in his arms, it was inconvenient to hold. He couldn't put it into his own mustard space in front of others, so he had to put it with Mr. Li first.
"Haha, no problem! I just want to appreciate Huang Binhong's masterpiece again!" Mr. Li smiled and took the scroll handed over by Liu Dong.
