After listening to Liu Dong's words, Mr. Li immediately fell silent. With his understanding of Liu Dong, he naturally understood the meaning of his words. But such a large ancient tomb, even though it is not in the country, will cause a sensation if it is exposed.
And the attention is absolutely world class!
Its influence is definitely no less than that of Tutankhamen's tomb abroad, as well as the Qinling Terracotta Warriors and the Tomb of Zeng Houyi in China. Therefore, even Mr. Li's ability cannot give Liu Dong an absolute guarantee!
"Xiaodong, you should know that this is definitely not a trivial matter, and there is no need to be careless!" Li Renfang said solemnly.
"Mr. Li, you know me. It is absolutely impossible for me to joke about such a major matter. And the scale of this tomb is definitely more magnificent than the photos I showed you!" Liu Dong said seriously.
Hearing this, Li Renfang raised her eyebrows, and then her expression became a little more serious.
He believed that Liu Dong would not lie about such an important matter, but it was precisely because of this that Li Renfang was more cautious.
"Xiaodong, you know how influential this tomb will be once it is exposed! Therefore, what I can help you is very limited. If, in the end, you want the country to allow you to classify this tomb, including all the funerary objects in it,
to your own name, then you must make yourself stronger!" Mr. Li said seriously.
Liu Dong was not surprised by this answer. He had vaguely guessed the answer before telling Mr. Li about it. But the most important purpose of Liu Dong telling Mr. Li about this tomb was to ask Mr. Li to give him some advice.
, what conditions do you have to meet to allow the country to hand over this tomb to you!
"Mr. Li, what should I do?" Liu Dong said solemnly.
"Expand your current business scale tenfold!" After thinking for a moment, Mr. Li said.
"Ten times?" Liu Dong was shocked!
After the exposure of Time Magazine at the beginning of the year, coupled with his participation in the 2002 draft, and a series of high-profile actions at the Royal Ascot, Liu Dong is no longer as unknown in the eyes of the world as he was at the beginning.
According to the latest survey, many people who are paying attention to him now estimate his net worth at around US$12 billion.
I believe that with Mr. Li's energy, he must be aware of this.
But after already knowing it, he also said that it would be increased tenfold, which means that Liu Dongming's net worth must reach 120 billion US dollars, or even more!
If it is just a pile of money, even if it is an astronomical figure of 120 billion US dollars, Liu Dong is not afraid. With his own relic Yuan Guang and mustard space, he can collect this figure just by digging for gold.
But it is not that simple to turn this number into a property that is reasonable, legal and acceptable to the world!
Looking at Liu Dong's frown, Li Laoyu said earnestly: "Xiaodong, once this matter is made public, the impact will be too great! The number of people at home and abroad who want to reach out will definitely exceed your imagination. If you don't have absolute strength, even if
It's legal on the surface, but it's destined not to be in your hands! So, if you feel that the conditions just now are too harsh and you can't meet them in a short time, don't force yourself...!"
After a pause, Mr. Li pursed his lips angrily, sighed inwardly, shook his head slightly and said no more.
Originally, he wanted to ask Liu Dong to hand over the tomb to the state, and then exchange some artworks from the state for collection in his own museum.
But seeing the stubborn look on Liu Dong's face, Mr. Li, who knew his character very well, finally took back what he said!
"Mr. Li, I will consider this matter carefully!" Liu Dong said seriously.
Liu Dong, who originally started to slack off after his career reached the current level and shifted his focus back to collecting, now has to regain his professionalism!
For no other reason than to be able to completely control the tomb of King Kangju that he found.
In addition, this conversation once again awakened Liu Dong. His strength is still far from the real wealthy and powerful people who sit at the top of the pyramid and watch the storm with a smile.
The appearance of King Kangju's tomb can make Mr. Li say that he must have a net worth of hundreds of billions to be able to control it. Then when the Holy City 'Aztlan' has more than a hundred ships, there will be more sunken ships in the future.
As well as more treasures that may be visited by Liu Dong in the future, when they appear in the world, I am afraid that a net worth of more than 100 billion US dollars will not allow Liu Dong to possess so many treasures!
"It seems that I am still too far behind now!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
At this point, Liu Dong, who knew what he was talking about, didn't want to continue talking about the issue of the 'Tomb of King Kangju'. Because no matter how much he talked about it, it would be in vain when his strength was not up to it.
"By the way, Mr. Li, I'm here today and I have one more thing I want to discuss with you!" Liu Dong said.
"What's the matter, tell me!"
"That's right. Isn't the museum already built now? I'm short on time and can't stay in the museum every day. So I would like to ask you to be the director of the museum!" Liu Dong said.
This was something Liu Dong had already thought about when the museum was first built.
Mr. Li was originally engaged in collecting and buying and selling antiques. He had good appraisal skills, and his connections within and outside the circle were not even comparable to those of Liu Dong!
With the old man in charge, Liu Dong felt relieved!
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't let me go. Well, I agree to this!" Mr. Li said with a smile.
"real?"
Liu Dong said in surprise.
When he came, he didn't expect things to be so simple!
"I had nothing to do before I teased you! Don't worry!"
It has always been Mr. Li's dream to open a private museum with his own collection. Although it was finally realized with Liu Dong's help, the relationship between the two undoubtedly made Mr. Li regard the museum opened by Liu Dong as his own.
Part of the ideal. So when faced with Liu Dong's invitation, the old man simply agreed.
Fortunately, he also has time for himself!
"Thank you so much, Mr. Li!" Liu Dong said happily.
"Hey, why are you so polite? If you want to say thank you, it's me, an old man, who should say thank you! ...Okay, I won't say any more. By the way, has the name of the museum been decided? This matter cannot be taken carelessly!" Li
The old man said seriously.
Although the name is just a code name, if it can be catchy and memorable, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to the promotion of the museum in the future!
Only a sufficient source of tourists can bring sufficient funds to the museum and the collection can be continuously enriched.
"I've already thought about it! Because this museum is just a transitional building before it is built as the Old Summer Palace Museum, I didn't give it a too complicated name. I just removed the word 'yuan' from the beginning of 'Old Summer Palace'. The new museum will be called '
Mingyuan'Museum!" Liu Dongdao.
"Mingyuan Museum!" After repeating a few words, Mr. Li nodded after thinking for a while, "Although it is not outstanding, it still has some charm. Since it is a transition to the future Yuanmingyuan Museum, let's call it this name for the time being!
"
"By the way, it's less than a week before the museum opens. Have the invitations been sent out?" Mr. Li asked again.
"They have all been sent out! Most of the people invited are people in the circle!" Liu Dong said.
"Well, that's good!"...
After continuing to discuss the opening of the museum with Mr. Li for a while, Liu Dong finally left after having dinner with Mr. Li!
As soon as he returned home, Liu Dong saw Chen Bao, carefully holding a general jar and looking at it carefully under the lamp, as if it was a treasure worth thousands of gold!
After taking off his coat and putting it on the hanger next to him, Liu Dong smiled and walked over and asked, "What are you looking at? Are you so fascinated?"
"Brother Dong, are you back?" Chen Bao, who came back to his senses, immediately pulled Liu Dong over with a joyful expression, pointed to the general jar on the table like a treasure and said happily, "Brother Dong, look at this thing I picked up.
How about a piece of porcelain?”
"porcelain?"
When he came under the lamp, Liu Dong briefly took a look at the general jar on the table, and couldn't help but smile: "When did you buy this jar?"
"This afternoon, I was too bored after you left, so I went to visit Panjiayuan! I saw this general jar in an antique shop called De Yuexuan, which was pretty good. It was porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, so
I spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy it back!"
As he said this, Chen Bao showed a look of contentment on his face.
Speaking of which, the reason why he gradually fell in love with collecting was due to Liu Dong's influence. Especially when he was in the UK for more than two months, he often accompanied Liu Dong to the flea market, but he saw his cousin too much.
I have profound skills in collecting and appraising antiques. Putting aside everything else, my ability to pick up treasures is as simple as eating and drinking.
It is precisely because Liu Dong acted too easily that Chen Bao is easily deceived now!
"More than ten thousand? Not bad. At least you didn't suffer a big loss this time!" Liu Dong said.
"What do you mean? Brother Dong, do you think this jar of mine is fake?" Chen Bao said in surprise.
"Then how do you think it is true?" Liu Dong asked with a smile.
“It’s the bottom line!”
Saying that, Chen Bao immediately exposed the bottom of the general jar, and saw the words "Datang Zhenguan Year System" written in six characters on it!
"In addition, there is the glaze color, and the texture of the body, which is delicate and white. The inside of the vessel is fully covered with glaze, but the outside of the vessel is not covered with enough glaze. This is obviously a typical characteristic of Xing kiln white porcelain!"
Listening to Chen Bao's explanation, Liu Dong smiled and shook his head. He was a typical layman. Although he had a certain understanding of the characteristics of Xing kiln porcelain, he only scratched the surface!
Moreover, Chen Bao didn't even remember the most basic points for appraising Tang Dynasty porcelain. It would be really weird if he didn't get cheated!
