The first thousand one hundred and twenty-five chapters trip to Jinling
Chapter 1125: Trip to Jinling
After thinking clearly, the old man said: "Don't get me wrong, although these three works of mine are given to you, they are not for you personally, but donated to the Yuanming Museum! And I only have these three works in my collection now.
I have donated all the previous ones, so don’t be too little for yourself!”
"Donate to the Yuanming Museum?" Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. Mr. Qi's statement just made it easier for him to accept it.
The Yuanming Museum is a semi-public welfare and semi-profit organization in nature, but in fact, all the shares in this museum belong to Liu Dong.
If these three works were donated to the museum, wouldn't they be given to him? The only difference is the name!
"Mr. Qi, this is really inappropriate, they are too precious!" Liu Dong said quickly.
Liu Dong originally wanted to say that he bought it with money, but thinking of the old man's temper and the close relationship between the two, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
There are many things in the world that can be repaid with money, but love cannot be measured with money!
"Preciousness also varies from person to person. To you, these three works are very precious. But to ordinary people, they are just three paintings and calligraphy! Moreover, I am over ninety and I don't think I will live for a few more years."
!After I die, these things will still be leaked out. Instead of letting them be controlled and shown off by mediocre people, it is better to put them in a museum for millions of people to admire!" After a pause, the old man looked at Liu Dong
With a smile, "Besides, your museum is well run, but in terms of the preservation conditions and security of the cultural relics, it is better than the Forbidden City. I can rest assured if I place it with you!"
Liu Dong naturally understands the preservation conditions and security of cultural relics in the Yuanming Museum. He put so many priceless treasures inside. In order to prevent them from being coveted by outsiders, Liu Dong can be said to have done everything he could think of.
Method!
Not only did it use the latest security equipment in the world, but through Qi Lao's relationship, it directly recruited more than 300 retired special forces and more than 50 elite Zhongnanhai bodyguards! Mu Gang was even transferred here to take charge! And he also specially applied for it.
I got a gun permit! Everything was done to its best! If the relic Yuanguang was not used, Liu Dong himself would not be confident that he could steal things safely from inside.
However, after listening to Mr. Qi's words, Liu Dong still could not convince himself to take down the three paintings and calligraphy. After all, each of these paintings can be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of precious things!
"Okay, don't hesitate. It's settled! It's up to me, an old man, to repay your life-saving grace!" Mr. Qi, who knew Liu Dong well and knew that he would not agree easily, said firmly.
Looking at the firm look on the old man's face, Liu Dong also knew that he could not shirk it. He secretly decided in his heart that he must do his best to ensure that Mr. Qi would live a long life, and then he said seriously: "Old Qi. Then I will be ashamed of you."
Got it!"
"Haha, is this right? Young people like you should just be quick and happy. Otherwise, if you keep imitating us old guys, wouldn't you be wasting this good time!"
Saying that, Mr. Qi smiled and patted Liu Dong's shoulder.
Hearing this, Liu Dong could only respond with a wry smile in his heart. The three paintings just now are worth no less than 200 million, and will soon increase in value in the future! No matter how conscientious a person is, he cannot talk in vain.
Take it into your own hands.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Don't you have an exhibition room for me on the second floor of your Chinese art theater? I just happen to have some accumulation here. You can take it with me today! But this time I won't give it to you for nothing. You have to spend it.
Money!"
"Don't worry, I will put all the money into your card!" Liu Dong immediately said happily.
The works that can be kept by Mr. Qi and not sold outside must be the essence accumulated by the old man over the years. Although it is not yet known how many these paintings and calligraphy are, each one must be a fine product. With them
Now, his mostly empty 'Qi Gong Works Exhibition Room' can immediately become fuller! For this goal, Liu Dong is willing to spend any amount of money!
"No, I'm an old guy. It's useless to ask for so much money! Just leave me one million, and the rest will be paid to the Oriental Welfare Institute's account!" The old man waved his hand.
"Dongfang Welfare Institute?" Liu Dong said quickly after being stunned for a moment, "Mr. Qi, you don't have to worry about Dongfang Welfare Institute. I will support their expenses myself!"
After interrupting Liu Dong with a wave of his hand, Mr. Qi said: "It's up to you to donate money. But I also want to do something for these poor children! In addition, I, an old guy, can't use that much money! I have one hundred
Wan is enough for me to eat and clothe myself before I enter the coffin!"
"If you don't need it, then give it to Uncle Jing Huai!" Liu Dong said.
Mr. Qi has no children. After his wife passed away, his nephew has been taking care of him! Over the past few decades, especially during the years when the old man's legs were paralyzed, Zhang Jinghuai, as his nephew, has never left him, and Liu Dong also admires him very much!
"No, now he has his own business and is not short of money! Moreover, too much windfall is often not a good thing!" The old man shook his head.
Seeing Mr. Qi's firm expression, Liu Dong had no choice but to nod.
Later, Liu Dong stayed with Mr. Qi to sort out his calligraphy and paintings. In addition to three national treasure-level ancient calligraphy and paintings, Mr. Qi had more than 2,500 works of his own! Among them, there were 1,356 calligraphy works, 784 paintings, and 539 rubbings of inscriptions and inscriptions.
! These more than 1,500 works can be said to be the hard work of Qi Laoyang!
Originally, Liu Dong did not intend to take them all away, but to his surprise, except for a few inscriptions, the old man actually gave him all the works without taking any of them!
When asked about the reason, Liu Dong did not get much explanation except for the specious answer that "people are old and have low energy".
Because there were so many things, Liu Dong could only say something like Mr. Li, and then asked him to send a special car from the museum to transport these precious works to the museum's underground vault!
Prepare to tidy it up before displaying it outside!
For this matter, Liu Dong was busy until the evening. He didn't even have time to eat dinner. However, he was busy for a career he truly loved, and Liu Dong didn't complain at all!
After finishing this matter, Liu Dong took out more than 50 pieces of antiques from the Mustard Seed Space, lying that they were treasures taken from Panjiayuan during this period, and handed them to Mr. Li to take charge of, and then drove home!
Then he used the new phone card to call his relatives. After establishing new contact information, Liu Dong left the capital the next day!
"The beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial state of Jinling", Nanjing has more than 6,000 years of civilization history, nearly 2,600 years of city building history and nearly 5,000 years of capital building history. It is one of the four ancient capitals in China and has always been known as the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties".
Known as the "City of Ten Dynasties", it is an important auspicious place for Chinese civilization. It has protected the Zhengshuo of China several times in history. It has long been the political, economic and cultural center of southern China, with profound cultural heritage and rich historical relics.
After leaving the capital, Liu Dong took a plane to this ancient southern capital known as the 'Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties'!
The reason why I came here was entrusted by Mr. Qi!
Driving his Hummer and looking at the rows of high-rise buildings around him, Liu Dong's face was full of interest. This was his first time in Nanjing, and he made up his mind to complete the project.
During this period of time, Mr. Qi told me, take a good stroll here!
Of course, before doing it again, you should do your own business first.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong recalled the map of Jinling clearly in his mind and drove to a high-end villa community in the suburbs of Jinling! I don't know if it was because of the Hummer luxury car with two million Chinese dollars under Liu Dong's butt. In short, when he entered the door
When I arrived, the guard did not come to stop me.
"This is really a high-end community. It's no worse than the Crouching Tiger Mountain Villa Area in Quancheng!" Liu Dong thought after briefly looking at the surrounding layout after entering.
However, although the scenery of this community is wonderful, it lacks some vivid natural beauty. In his eyes, it is all about craftsmanship!
Of course, the scenery of the community was not his purpose. After driving around the community for a few times, Liu Dong quickly found his destination.
He parked the car on the side of the road and took a brief look at the antique-style two-story single-family villa in front of him. Then, he carefully compared the house number and made sure it was the same as the address Mr. Qi gave him. Liu Dong left
He stepped forward and rang the doorbell!
"Who?"
A slightly deep voice sounded from the speaker installed on the door.
"I'm here to visit Mr. Chen!"
"Liu Dong?"
Before Liu Dong finished announcing his family, he was interrupted by a surprised baritone from the loudspeaker!
After reacting, Liu Dong looked up and saw a monitor on the wall in the upper left corner of him. Obviously, his voice and smile had been clearly seen by others!
"Is Liu Dong really you? Why are you here?"
Listening to the surprise, joy, and extremely familiar voice from the speaker, Liu Dong quickly reacted, "Fu Kun?"
"Haha, it's rare that you still remember me! Just wait, I'll open the door for you right now!"
Not long after he finished speaking, Liu Dong heard footsteps approaching from far away.
"Crack, squeak!"
After a soft sound, the originally closed iron door opened. Then, a slightly thin man in his thirties wearing a black coat and a look of surprise on his face appeared in front of Liu Dong.
"Liu Dong, is it really you?"
"Haha, Brother Fu, we haven't seen each other for only a few months, you shouldn't have forgotten me!" Faced with the middle-aged man's bear hug, Liu Dong responded and said with a smile.
"How many months? We haven't seen each other for almost a year since we last saw each other in Hong Kong! But you guys can do it, you opened the museum quietly! And there are so many good things in it, you can see them
I’m so hungry!”
"You can't blame me for this, I gave you the invitation!" Liu Dong said.
"Well, if the master's health hadn't been bad recently, I would have gone a long time ago!" Speaking of the master, the joy on Fu Kun's face disappeared. (To be continued.)
