After driving home and dealing with the cross-examination by Mu Gang and Zhang Ma, Liu Dong, who had been hungry all night, wiped out the remaining breakfast they gave him.
After chatting with the two of them, Liu Dong returned to his room. Although he didn't sleep all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He remembered that because of time constraints, he just put the bronzes and jades in the underground storage room into mustard seeds.
Before he had time to appreciate the space, Liu Dong got up from the bed, closed the door, and took out a large cauldron that was similar in shape and size to the 'Chao Guoding'.
After reading the inscriptions inside this big tripod, Liu Dong realized that this was the 'Zongguoding', which was cast by King Zhuang of Chu after he attacked the Zongguo and collected the Zongguo's weapons.
In addition to this Zongguo tripod, other bronze vessels include the bronze ritual vessels representing the emperor, the Nine Tripods and Eight Gui, a total of seventeen exquisite bronze vessels. Naturally, it is not an ordinary thing that can be buried in the tomb of King Chuzhuang. Take the tripod.
Generally speaking, tripods from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were tripods with three rings on the cover, and the rim of the tripod was decorated with simple patterns such as cloud patterns and fire patterns.
At this moment, the nine tripods in front of Liu Dong, ranging from small to large, have hunting patterns on the top cover, and three winding chi dragons standing on the tripod. The tripod has cloud dragon patterns, dragon and phoenix patterns, and elephant ears.
, Padfoot, from top to bottom, uses the lost wax method to make the nine tripods exquisitely.
The production of the Eight Gui is equally exquisite.
Unfortunately, apart from these dozen or so bronzes, a large number of other bronzes were left in Hubei by Uncle Li and others. Liu Dong wanted to take a quick look, so he went to find them himself.
Bronze wares were too heavy to carry, so Uncle Li and the others did not bring many. However, jade wares were relatively light. They did bring a lot. Liu Dong simply counted them, and there were about forty-three pieces.
There are various styles of ancient jade articles such as jade rings, jade pendants, jade pendants, and string ornaments. However, they are placed for some reason to facilitate portability. Most of the forty-three jade articles are small, mostly around 10 centimeters or even larger.
Small. The most precious one is a piece of jade with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, and it is a rare jade jade with a chi pattern.
"We must take out the antiques and cultural relics that Uncle Li and the others stole from the tomb of King Chuzhuang as soon as possible!" After appreciating all the jades one by one, Liu Dong remembered the value of each item recorded in the notebook in Uncle Li's cowhide belt.
Liancheng, and cherished antiques and cultural relics even more, Liu Dong thought hotly in his heart.
However, he also knows that he has no time recently. After returning to Quan City, there are still a lot of things waiting for him!
"By the way, I almost forgot!" Liu Dong took out the more than 50 cash checks. If you don't take them within 10 days, they will be invalid. And if you want to withdraw more than 50,000 yuan, you have to make an appointment one day in advance. It's really troublesome.
.
After dividing more than fifty cash checks, Liu Dong found that most of them were from the five major banks. Only two were from Hua Xia Bank. Finally, after Liu Dong calculated the numbers, he started to take out his mobile phone and type them one by one.
The call came. By the time he finished his work, it was already noon.
In the next two days, Liu Dong was busy with this matter. In order to save time, he did not withdraw all the money, but applied for six bank cards in these banks. And then Liu Dong's
There is nearly 70 million more cash on the bank card, plus the more than 16 million he had left before. Now, in addition to the more than 200 million US dollars, the funds he can use now are 8,600 more.
Ten thousand!
"How should we spend so much money?" Liu Dong fell into the trouble of happiness.
Although this amount of money does not seem like a lot of money at all, it is still far from enough to build the museum in his mind. Moreover, even if Mr. Li’s collection is added to the collection in his hand, there are not even those that he has yet to acquire.
The burial objects for King Chuzhuang are far from enough. This matter cannot be done too hastily.
In addition, his two hundred million U.S. dollars are basically black gold. They have not been laundered and cannot be used domestically. For safety reasons, this money can only be placed abroad for the time being. However, after being influenced by Feng Jianhui, Liu Dong
I don't want to let this money sit in the bank in vain.
"Investing in art is a good channel, but if you invest all 200 million US dollars in art, it will be a headache to know how much justice you will attract! Forget it, let Feng Jianhui, a professional, help you after you go back!" Liu
Dong is really not very good at finance and business management. After all, there are specialties in the field, and he is not omnipotent.
On the fifth day after Liu Dong came to the capital, Mr. Li, who had disappeared for a long time, finally came to the small courtyard again when Liu Dong was considering whether to return to Quancheng first.
And he didn't come alone this time.
"Xiaodong, Gangzi, come on, come on! Let me introduce to you, this is your Grandma Li, my wife!" At this moment, Mr. Li's face is rosy and radiant. It seems that this family is happy and the power of harmony between husband and wife is
It's really not covered.
"Hello, Grandma Li!" Liu Dong greeted respectfully, and Mu Gang next to him also saluted.
The old lady looked kind-hearted. Seeing Liu Dong and Mu Gang's respectful and polite expressions, she smiled warmly and said, "I have been hearing Lao Li talk about you these past few days, saying how sensible and capable you two are. Today I
It seems he is right!" Then, the old lady's eyes shifted to Liu Dong and continued, "Your name is Liu Dong, right?"
"Yes, Grandma Li!"
"Well, you are a good young man who is steady and polite. No wonder our old man likes you so much. By the way, does our Yun Cong know you too?"
"Yes, we met at Mr. Li's place in Quancheng!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the old lady nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that our Li family is quite destined to you!"
"It's Mr. Li and Brother Li who think highly of me!" Liu Dong replied without hesitation. He was respectful and polite, and showed a common demeanor in dealing with others. The two old men were surprised and at the same time they valued him even more.
Treating people is also a science. Some people have a wide circle of friends and have close friends all over the world, while some people are disgusted by everyone. In addition to personality, there is also the issue of personal cultivation. Liu Dong has received a very strict education since he was a child.
Both his parents are teachers.
In addition, he later engaged in sculpture and belonged to the ranks of art, so he had an elegant temperament of a literati. Moreover, ever since he obtained the relic, Liu Dong had a kind of personality that made people unable to help but feel.
Friendly temperament. This is why Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong were able to treat each other with courtesy when they first met Liu Dong. Wang Qiang was able to fall in love with him, and Jiang Tingting, who was relatively unpretentious with men, was able to look at him differently; a person like Mr. Li
, which is also the fundamental reason why the treasures and antiques accumulated by three generations of the Li family can be entrusted to his care.
People often say that the first impression between strangers is very important, and Liu Dong's first impression is definitely 90 points. As for the remaining 10 points, it is his clothes and appearance that bring down the score.
"Okay, I believe you are a little impatient after I have made you wait for so many days! Let's go, I have already contacted Master Qi. Now let's go there with the paintings!" Old Li and his wife Liu Dong
, after Mu Gang chatted for a while, he got to the point.
For this, Liu Dong has been impatient for a long time! Now his time is extremely tight. The company, especially Yang Ke, has already made a development plan for the "Taiyi Pavilion" fine woodwork and is waiting for him
Go back to discuss. I have called several times. If Mr. Li doesn't come today, Liu Dongke will really leave.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go get the painting right now!"
"Go, go!" Mr. Li waved his hand.
Seeing this, Liu Dong got up and went out and returned to his room. Then he imitated Huang Binhong's "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Xue Ji's "Crane Painting" by one of the four painters of the early Tang Dynasty, and the most precious and rare "Six Dynasties and Four Dynasties" in his hand at the moment.
One of them, Zhang Sengyao, took out the "True Shape Diagram of Five Stars and Twenty-eight Constellations" from the mustard space.
Among the dozen or so handed down calligraphy and paintings by famous artists from past dynasties, these three are the worst mounted in his hands now, and they are also the ones that need to be solved the most. However, Liu Dong also remembered Mr. Li’s explanation before, and the main reason for this trip was not for these three.
The purpose of mounting a calligraphy and painting is to rectify their names, because except for Huang Binhong, who has many works, there are many people who can identify the authenticity of this "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
The remaining paintings, whether they are Xue Ji or Zhang Sengyao, have not been handed down to the world until now. Therefore, even if the two paintings in Liu Dong's hands are transmitted in an orderly manner and are authentic, they still need a calligraphy and painting appraiser who can convince the public.
to justify them.
And the master they are going to visit now is the best candidate.
When Liu Dong put the three paintings into his backpack and walked out, Mr. Li and his wife were already waiting in the yard with Mu Gang.
"Everything is packed!" Mr. Li asked, looking at the backpack behind Liu Dong.
"Yeah!" Liu Dong nodded.
"Then let's go. Although we agreed to arrive at 9 a.m., we have something to ask for this time, so it's better to go early."
Liu Dong naturally had no doubts about Mr. Li's words.
However, when Liu Dong followed Mu Gang and Mr. Li and his wife out of the door, he couldn't help but see four young people standing outside the door, wearing black T-shirts, with serious expressions and a strong aura.
Liu Dong was stunned for a moment. But thinking about Mr. Li's identity, Liu Dong was not surprised.
"I wonder why the old man didn't bring a few security guards with him when he was in Quancheng?" Liu Dong thought to himself. However, this kind of thing may involve Mr. Li's personal affairs, and he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
"Old man, you and Grandma Li go ahead, Brother Mu and I will drive behind and follow you!" Liu Dong said with a smile after seeing there were only two cars outside the door.
Two cars, Mr. and Mrs. Li and four bodyguards are not too many, but if they are added together, it will be crowded. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
