"Forty million...... The third time!"

"Deal!"

"Boom!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As the hammer struck, the breathless crowd relaxed, and enthusiastic applause followed, while the surrounding reporters frantically pressed the shutter to record the explosive picture.

Cai Keming said in a passionate tone: "The final price of the 122 volumes of the No. 2888 treasure "Yongle Dictionary" was 40 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the historical auction record of Sotheby's auction house, and also breaking the auction record of Xiangjiang artworks!"

"We are all participants and witnesses of history!"

"Let's congratulate Mr. Sixty-Five!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Well said!"

The applause was even more enthusiastic, sometimes mixed with applause.

The reporters pressed the shutter even more frantically, as if the film was not asking for money, and every scene was reluctant to fall!

With a gentle smile on his face, Hua Shengshi bowed slightly to the surroundings in thanks.

At this time, Ren Decheng, who was behind the scenes, stepped into the front desk, replaced Cai Keming, and said loudly into the microphone: "The four-day Sotheby's spring auction has come to a perfect end, please go up to the third floor to confirm and trade." ”

"Thank you for your great support!"

"We look forward to seeing you again next time!"

"Thank you!"

After speaking, Ren Decheng bowed deeply.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Subsequently, under the guidance of the security personnel, the auctioneers exited in an orderly manner, and the reporters who arrived were dealt with by Ren Decheng.

Sotheby's auction house has set a series of records in the spring auction, and Ren Decheng, as the general manager, naturally has a lot of news explosions, and the popularity is second only to Huashengshi, which spent 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

Let's talk about Xia Yu, take the lead in a low-key manner, let Hua Shengshi deal with those rich people who came to congratulate, and also promote the Kowloon Cultural Museum to the outside world.

When Xia Yu just came out, he unexpectedly found that someone was waving to him, and he looked at it, and it was Bao Yugang.

And the person next to Bao Yugang made his heart burst out, because he saw Zhuang Siping, it seemed that Bao Yugang was with Zhuang Siping?

The strangeness was not revealed, Xia Yu showed a warm smile, and strode towards Bao Yugang.

"Lao Bao, Lao Huo, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Wang, good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xia!"

Xia Yu shook hands with the four of them and greeted each other, then looked at Liu Shaoquan, who looked like a scholar, and asked with a smile.

"May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Liu Shaoquan, who had ideas in his heart, smiled enthusiastically, shook hands with Xia Yu and said, "Hello Mr. Xia, I am Liu Shaoquan, from the national capital, and I am the director of the Palace Museum. ”

Xia Yu suddenly understood, and he also knew a little why Zhuang Siping, Bao Yugang and the others were together, and he secretly said that there was some trouble in his heart.

It's just that he looked as usual, and greeted with a smile: "It turned out to be Dean Liu, fortunately!"

It just so happened that at this time, Hua Shengshi promised to be interviewed again when he came out again after briefly answering two questions, and walked out of the auction hall after sending the reporter away, and was about to go to the staircase to go up to the third floor to dock the "Yongle Ceremony".

I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, Zhuang Siping is near the staircase.

Therefore, Hua Shengshi inevitably came to Zhuang Siping, Xia Yu and others.

Hua Shengshi also noticed Zhuang Siping and recognized the opponent just now, and a fiery gaze next to Zhuang Siping made him a little uncomfortable.

But Xia Yu is here, he can't leave, and he is not afraid of something, so he walked to Xia Yu's side and said, "Mr. Xia, shall I go up first?"

At this time, Zhuang Siping immediately asked out loud: "Mr. Xia, do you know each other?"

Xia Yu nodded with a calm smile, and generously introduced to them: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Hua Shengshi, the owner of the Kowloon Cultural Museum. ”

"Mr. Hua, this is Mr. Zhuang Siping, the chairman of Nanyang Commercial Bank. ”

"Mr. Bao and Mr. Huo, you should have met. ”

"This is Mr. Wang Kuancheng, chairman of Wei Dahua Group. ”

"This is Mr. Liu Shaoquan, director of the Palace Museum. ”

Hua Shengshi smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one.

Although everyone said yes, Zhuang Siping and Liu Shaoquan were in a bad mood.

Just because Hua Shengshi's name is the owner of the Kowloon Cultural Museum.

Or Zhuang Siping opened his mouth and asked: "Mr. Hua, I have been in Xiangjiang for so long, and I have only heard that there is a fragrant **** in Kowloon, I don't know where your museum is?"

Hua Shengshi replied with a smile: "It is normal that Mr. Zhuang has not heard of it, because our museum will not open to the public in a few days, and the address is located near Kowloon Bay, Kwun Tong District, Kowloon. ”

Zhuang Siping asked again: "Is your museum built by the Hong Kong government or not?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu smiled calmly: "Mr. Zhuang, this museum is my private museum, and it has nothing to do with the Hong Kong government. ”

"The day after tomorrow, that is, April 3rd, is the opening day of the Kowloon Cultural Museum, I was going to send you an invitation tomorrow, but now that I have met it, I will tell you in person, I will send the invitation later. ”

Hearing Xia Yu say this, Bao Yugang, who was listening on the side, laughed loudly: "Ah Yu, I didn't expect you to secretly build a museum, congratulations, I will definitely be there the day after tomorrow!"

"I'll be there too!"

Huo Yingdong also said with a smile.

Wang Kuancheng and Zhuang Siping smiled and said yes, but their smiles seemed to be a little reluctant, but the hope in their hearts was greatly reduced.

Liu Shaoquan also realized that the hope was gradually fading, but he was unwilling!

Therefore, he asked Xia Yu directly: "Mr. Xia, take the liberty of asking, is the one hundred and twenty-second volume of the Yongle Canon yours now?"

Xia Yu nodded: "Yes!"

Liu Shaoquan immediately asked again: "I have a reluctant request, I don't know if I can transfer the national treasure to our Palace Museum? We will compensate you for the money, what do you think?"

After speaking, Liu Shaoquan looked at Xia Yu directly, his eyes full of expectation.

Xia Yu's smile gradually converged, looked at Liu Shaoquan, and then looked at Zhuang Siping, Bao Yugang and others.

Xia Yu has something inconvenient to say, Hua Shengshi will not have any scruples.

"Yongle Grand Ceremony" is his heart's meat, and it is theirs, taking it out for auction is going through the motions, and he won't take it out if he is killed, even if the other party is the Palace Museum!

If it was before meeting Xia Yu, the Palace Museum found him and asked him to donate his entire Treasure Pavilion, he would gladly agree.

But now it's different from the past, since he is in charge of taking care of the Kowloon Cultural Museum, he will only find a way to cuddle good things home, how can he give them out again?

In order to build the Kowloon Cultural Museum well, he has long been secretly determined to be an iron rooster.

Not even if it's the Palace Museum now!

Therefore, he immediately spoke up and said resolutely: "Dean Liu, you are a strong man, our museum will open the day after tomorrow, I have just announced in the hall that the auction of the "Yongle Canon" will be the treasure of the Kowloon Cultural Museum, if it is transferred to you, then our museum signboard will be smashed before it is erected!"

"For this museum, Mr. Xia has invested more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars, and now he is taking pictures of the "Yongle Ceremony" as the treasure of the museum at any cost, the purpose is to build a world-class museum for Xiangjiang, spread Chinese culture, establish the cultural self-confidence of Xiangjiang people and Southeast Asian Chinese, and also create a landmark tourist attraction for Xiangjiang, and promote the tourism and economic development of Xiangjiang.

Hearing Hua Shengshi's sonorous and powerful words, everyone present was moved, but they didn't expect to have such an inside story.

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong have given up on speaking for Liu Shaoquan, it's not that they are not patriotic, but Xia Yu himself is also for the national righteousness, although they are committed to the motherland, but after all, they are overseas, they are regarded as one of the leaders of overseas Chinese, and they have to be considered for overseas Chinese.

It stands to reason that they have to support the Kowloon Heritage Museum.

There are countless national treasures in the Palace Museum, there are already "Yongle Canon", and there are not a few comparable to "Yongle Canon", one more is not much and one is not less, but the Kowloon Cultural Museum is not necessarily many, Hua Shengshi said well, there must be a treasure of the town hall!

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's mentality changed drastically, and Wang Kuancheng and Zhuang Siping also knew that hope was almost gone.

Seeing that Liu Shaoquan's face was very ugly, and the atmosphere at the scene was so embarrassing, Xia Yu said loudly: "There are more people here, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." ”

"Okay, Mr. Xia, listen to your arrangement!"

After that, Xia Yu asked people to find Ren Decheng, and Ren Decheng arranged an assistant to lead Xia Yu and others to a large reception room on the fourth floor, and the staff of Sotheby's Auction House immediately provided fruits and tea.

Before Xia Yu spoke, Zhuang Siping preemptively said, "Mr. Xia, I wonder if you can listen to me explain the situation first?"

Xia Yu nodded and said, "Of course." ”

He made a gesture of please.

Zhuang Siping pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Here's the thing, the news of the appearance of the national treasure "Yongle Grand Canon" has reached the mainland ......."

Zhuang Siping vividly told how Liu Shaoquan fought for funds from the ministry, and then came to Xiangjiang with a mission, and how he found them......

"Originally, when we came, we decided to take the "Yongle Ceremony" at all costs, but we learned that Mr. Hua was your person, so we thought that it would not be cheap for outsiders, so we held the idea of discussing with you privately and no longer participated in the auction, and now that's it. ”

After Zhuang Siping finished speaking impartially, he looked at Liu Shaoquan.

Liu Shaoquan immediately said: "Mr. Xia, the "Yongle Canon" is a national treasure, originally hidden in the Forbidden City, but it was lost a large part when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and then the situation was chaotic before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and a part of it was lost, "Yongle Canon" is the precious wealth of the entire Chinese nation, if it is left overseas, it will be the regret of the whole nation. ”

After speaking, Liu Shaoquan looked at Xia Yu with burning eyes.

Xia Yu said to Liu Shaoquan with a serious expression: "Dean Liu, I can guarantee with my personality that the "Yongle Grand Canon" will never appear elsewhere again after entering the Kowloon Cultural Museum!"

Liu Shaoquan was suddenly anxious: "But it's ...... Xia"

Xia Yu immediately raised his voice and said: "Dean Liu, your worries are unnecessary, this one hundred and twenty-two volumes of the Yongle Canon are the same whether they are in the Palace Museum or the Kowloon Cultural Museum, they have not been lost overseas, they are on the land of China!"

"In Xiangjiang is in China!"

In the last nine words, Xia Yu said loudly.

The entire reception room was completely silent for a while, and the pins could be heard!
