Except for Kuang Xiaoyue, all the guests who could get gifts walked out one after another and unveiled their gifts in front of everyone.
Here, there are many famous calligraphy and paintings, as well as rare treasures. Many people present sighed repeatedly. The total value of the gifts Han Daocheng received today is probably tens of millions.
Soon, Sun Zhuangxian, the richest man in Hong Kong, Zhuang Zeju, came forward, took a gift box from his assistant, smiled and said to Han Daocheng: "Old man, this is a luminous pearl that I asked someone to find from overseas. Its texture is extraordinary.
, with a profound background. I heard from my grandfather that you are a famous contemporary collector and have collected many famous objects, so I thought about it and thought you might like this luminous pearl. "
"Axian is interested."
Han Daocheng nodded with a smile, and when Zhuang Xian opened the gift box, he saw a longan-sized, shining night pearl, wrapped in yellow cloth, lying quietly inside the gift box.
Some people around had strange looks in their eyes. Even Han Daocheng was a little surprised and asked: "Which era is it from?"
"The last years of the Qing Dynasty." Zhuang Xian said.
Han Daocheng nodded, smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Yes, I am embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift."
Discussions suddenly broke out in the hall.
"This is one of the eight night-light pearls that were on the Cixi phoenix crown."
In the corner, Tang Tang whispered: "At the beginning of the 20th century, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the capital. Empress Dowager Cixi did not allow the people to fight back against the invaders, and instead engaged in treasonous activities. She took four luminous pearls from her phoenix crown and gave them to foreigners.
, asking them to withdraw from the capital. This luminous pearl is one of them. It was sold at a Hong Kong auction house not long ago for 22 million. Unexpectedly, it was taken by Zhuang Xian. "
"This is a natural luminous pearl, and it also has historical allusions. It is only worth 20 million or 2 million?" Shangguan Aiya was a little unbelievable.
Tang Tang smiled and said: "The starting price is 20 million. Zhuang Xian only increased the price once, so no one could compete with him. Most of the others just sold him a favor."
“This is too expensive!”
Kuang Xiaoyue muttered: "It's just a luminous pearl. You can buy it for a few hundred yuan in our Jinling antique market."
Shangguan Aiya said: "You are just an outsider. Luminous pearls are also divided into categories, especially this kind of luminous pearl with historical allusions, which is extremely valuable. If you can get this luminous pearl on the Cixi air duct for 20 million, Zhuang Xian will make a lot of money."
Okay?"
"Indeed." Tang Tang nodded and said: "The Empress Dowager Cixi was particularly fond of luminous pearls. When she was alive, her phoenix crown was inlaid with eight luminous pearls, each of which was priceless. After her death, she was buried in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
That luminous pearl is even more priceless."
Kuang Xiaoyue opened her mouth wide: "How much is it worth?"
"According to historical records, it was a rough diamond weighing approximately 787.28 carats. In 1908, it was valued at 10.8 million taels of silver."
Tang Tang thought for a while and said: "If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be several hundred million at least."
Kuang Xiaoyue opened her mouth with soreness, then looked at Zhuang Xian and muttered: "You are so rich."
Compared with the Qianlong white jade ring that Kuang Xiaoyue took out and other people's gifts, Zhuang Xian's Cixi Night Pearl is obviously more beautiful than any other.
Later, Cai Mingda, chairman of Mingda Jewelry, stepped forward with a smile and expressed the gift he had brought, which was a Song Dynasty Bafang bowl with a plum blossom painted on the bowl.
Chinese porcelain has always been loved by collectors around the world. It is very popular in the antique market, and its price is also high. Cai Mingda's Bafang Bowl from the Song Dynasty alone costs more than 10 million yuan. Although it cannot compare with the Cixi Night Pearl, it still has a high price.
In the whole audience, it can be regarded as an expensive gift for one person and more than ten thousand people.
After everyone praised him, Cai Mingda pulled Cai Yunkun and said with a smile: "Mr. Han, this is my son Cai Yunkun. He is somewhat famous among the younger generation in Hong Kong. This boy has been fond of music since he was a child. Now he is a Hong Kong piano music
The vice president of the association has received many honorary certificates and awards internationally. In order to come to visit you, he practiced piano music all night yesterday. Can you listen to it? "
"Young and promising, not bad."
Han Daocheng nodded and said, "Listen."
Cai Yunkun was very happy. He enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight, especially since the guests present were all the elites of Hong Kong's upper class society. In this case, he subconsciously glanced at Li Li, who was staring at him in the corner.
Qing, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, immediately strolled to a piano placed on the left side of the hall. He first gave a gentlemanly smile to the surrounding guests and slightly saluted, and then sat down in front of the piano under the bright and brilliant eyes of many women.
, opened the piano cover, moved his hands for a while, and after lightly trying the keys a few times, the next moment, he raised his hands gracefully...
Dong, Dong Dong
Soon, several heavy piano sounds sounded, like the roar of drums, which lifted the spirits of many people present.
"This is Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8, Pathétique."
Kuang Xiaoyue, who is quite proficient in piano, murmured after hearing the first few notes: "It seems to be the third movement?"
"Forgive me for not understanding appreciation."
Tang Tang shrugged, licked his lips, yawned, and said, "I'm addicted to smoking again. Just watch it first while I go outside to smoke."
After Tang Tang left, Shangguan Aiya sighed: "I don't know when this guy will be able to quit smoking. She is a woman who can smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, and her body will collapse sooner or later."
However, Kuang Xiaoyue didn't pay attention to anything else at this time. Her eyes were fixed on Cai Yunkun's hands.
At this moment, Cai Yunkun's hands were so fast that she couldn't even see the shadow, and the sound of the piano in her ears was like water flowing on a small bridge, rolling past her ears.
He is indeed a new generation of outstanding musicians in Hong Kong!
When Cai Yunkun plays the piano, he looks completely different from usual, and his energy and spirit have been greatly improved.
However, it may be because the Pathetique Trilogy is so famous, so although Cai Yunkun perfectly reproduced Beethoven's musical elements, it may not be too shocking to some people who are used to listening to this type of music.
But judging from the performance, Cai Yunkun's performance was successful.
At least Kuang Xiaoyue admired Cai Yunkun's piano skills.
The so-called Pathetique Trilogy is named Pathetique because these three pieces were composed by Beethoven when he was almost deaf. They reflect the suffering and struggle against the injustice of fate, as well as a trace of pain.
.
This emotion is also well expressed in Cai Yunkun's performance.
When the music ended, the audience burst into warm applause, and many people were full of praise.
At this time, Scott Henry, the chief commander from Vienna's Golden Hall, also showed appreciation and whispered to a gray-haired old man next to him: "If you want to open up the Hong Kong market, this Cai Yunkun is a good one."
Open your mouth. I have been in contact with him before. He is a very capable young musician and is also very famous in Hong Kong..."
The white-haired old man is also a European and American. He wears a wide black robe and looks like a medieval magician. His eyes are brown and he has a big white beard on his face. When he speaks, his expression is very serious.
Vivid, upon hearing this, he shrugged: "Henry, actually I think so too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yunkun stood up and said loudly: "I heard that a person who is known as a musical talent in the Hong Kong entertainment industry came to the scene..."——
